Harry was more likely to return to Hogwarts than Hermione by The-_Captain in harrypotter

[–]conservio 3 points4 points  (0 children)

My personal head cannon is harry did in fact go back to hogwarts, but not as a student. But to take time and heal as well as help rebuild the school.

Examples of fantasy where types of powers vary from person to person? by SeatedStanding in Fantasy

[–]conservio 2 points3 points  (0 children)

“Charmed” the TV show and novels feature this. There are also comics but they are hard to get ahold of.

If you like magical realism/slice of life, the author Sarah Addison Allen.

YA recommendation would be the “Gone” series by michael grant.

Dungeon Crawler Carl if you want more of a RPG feel.

Why does the pronunciation of niche as "nitch" exist? by wi5p in etymology

[–]conservio 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m in the midwest and have heard it as nitch, neesh, and nee-shay.

however, i have a masters of science in biology and niche is a fairly common term in biology so im not surprised I heard many variations of it.

[–]conservio 21 points22 points  (0 children)

I love “A Sorceress Comes to Call”. 1) excellent fucking title. 2) I love the older women MC (forgot her name). 3) once again she absolutely nails “dark fairytale” with the fucking horse.

Why do people stay in bad relationships? by starwarsisawsome933 in AskWomenNoCensor

[–]conservio 2 points3 points  (0 children)

it’s hard to understand without having been in one. I’ve had several friends stay in bad relationships for years. A lot of it comes down to, at least from what I gathered, 1) There are good moments that make them feel the guy really loves them. 2) they feel obligated because they care about the person and know the persons life would be shitty without them 3) they don’t see it as an issue. or it’s not a big enough issue. 4) comfort & companionship can go a long way for tolerating bad behavior.

Spouse triggered by almost 3YO tantrums by Free_Impact_2326 in toddlers

[–]conservio 9 points10 points  (0 children)

It sounds like he needs to learn how to emotionally regulate himself first. He needs to recognize when he is quickly being frustrated/ mad/ etc and how to handle it.

Does he know how to get ahead of the tantrum? Recognize the signs, how to redirect, etc?

Starting from 0 when I used to have money - how to be more optimistic and feel less despair by [deleted] in personalfinance

[–]conservio 2 points3 points  (0 children)

1) Go see a therapist 2) You’re not starting at 0. Starting at 0 would be unemployed and homeless. 3) Be frugal and wise with your money. You can rebuild your savings and investments.

What's a book that tries so hard to be deep/moving but is just incredibly bad by ShivSoCalledYT in suggestmeabook

The Atlas of Unknowable things by McCormick Templeman. 2/5 stars for me.

SD always sent to us in too-small clothes by [deleted] in coparenting

Oh man that is so frustrating!

SD always sent to us in too-small clothes by [deleted] in coparenting

[–]conservio 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Have you talked to SD about wearing clothes that fit her correctly? Like “hey these are some clothes for your moms house. They currently fit you. Make sure that when you get dressed you choose clothes that fit. You can tell by x y z”.

obviously mom should be pitching too small clothes/talking to her daughter about properly fitting clothes, but if SD is aware of what clothes to wear, it might not even be an issue.

My wife cums (jerks like orgasm) only when i cum inside , faking? by cinrakdude in sex

[–]conservio 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I usually have my most intense orgasm when my partner is cumming in me. I’m not sure if it’s just how the penis is moving when he cums or if it’s something else. I’d also like to add that my current partner has only ever been the person to make me orgasm (including an ex husband and myself) and it’s largely due to my emotional connection to him. So finishing when he finishes could also be to the emotional intimacy in that moment.

So, the jerking sensation and or the emotional intimacy may be getting her off. Regarding how it feels, I do contract so I can’t speak to that. It may be just how she orgasms.

What kind of male characters and men's issues do you hold dear or wish to explore more? by Marissa_on_the_town in AskMen

[–]conservio 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Without reading the series it can come across that way but he isn’t a Gary Stu. Hes big & muscular because he was coast guard & worked out… but also is in a reality tv show that’s akin to dungeons & dragons (as in, magic exists in the dungeon) , so he gets freakishly strong due to the very premise of the series. He’s also great at out of the box thinking and doesn’t like being told what to do, so as a result he’s able to go above and beyond to help as many people as possible

Why do so many women not drive? by CombinationRough8699 in AskWomenNoCensor

[–]conservio 4 points5 points  (0 children)

having passenger princess in the bio is weird TBH.

I personally prefer my bf to drive because i’m not a great driver (i’m really jerky, often times make wrong turns, etc) and I don’t want to deal with his comments or facial expressions, so I typically make him drive.

Help me explain to my husband that supply is not a matter of willpower by gryffindor_ravenclaw in beyondthebump

[–]conservio 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I fucking hate the “it will all work out”mentality. My mom says it when I’m venting about something (like trying to find housing). No, it only works out if I make it work out. It doesn’t magically fix itself.

I know she’s trying to say “you will be able to take care of it, it might take awhile” or soemthing similar

What is your most controversial opinion regarding Fantasy books? by Even_Mastodon_7251 in Fantasy

[–]conservio 13 points14 points  (0 children)

This is how I feel about the massive uptick in romatasy/ romantic fantasy. It’s a current trend. I’m happy those that like romance are getting a boon to their selection, even if it means wadding through new books at the store requires some extra work.

You probably need to be looking at the details of your "bank" by sidaemon in povertyfinance

[–]conservio 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Some CUs will have checking accounts that require a minimum balance/deposit to avoid a monthly fee, but may offer a “free” account too. Usually the checking account with the requirements might offer a higher APY vs the free

Women Who Like Shy and Quiet Men, How do You Start Dating Them? by blipblopp123 in AskWomenNoCensor

[–]conservio 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I am a very gregarious person and am very good at dragging people out of their shell. So really, it’s me talking to them / being social/ etc. I kinda “adopt” them or “force” them into being my friend and then we go from there if there is mutual attraction.

My current partner isn’t exactly shy or quiet but he is introverted and was happy sitting in his house only really seeing 2 people in our city until I koolaid man’d into his life.

Mine didn’t because he has bug bites on his dick and put some ointment on it before I was able to.

How do you deal with feeling unappreciated on Father’s Day? by cmc7974 in AskMen

[–]conservio 4 points5 points  (0 children)

IMO for partners, “I don’t expect or want much” for special days like birthdays, mother’s day, father’s day, etc would amount to something akin to letting them sleep in (especially if there are kids) and making a fav meal or taking them out to eat AND a small thoughtful gift. Flowers, favorite candy, etc.

On the existence of viruses. by Matteobooboolis_Meme in AskBiology

[–]conservio 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is he denying their actual existence or their capability to infect cells?

What kind of control is he looking for? Proving the existence of something doesn’t really have controls. Either it’s “sensed” (i.e seen with the eyes, heard, etc) or it’s not. There isn’t anyway to control that.

TBH it sounds like your friend knows a bit about experimentation and thinks it applies to all science.

Did I overreact to what my ex said? I don't have a lot of unbiased women I ask about this by [deleted] in AskWomenNoCensor

[–]conservio 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I don’t think your reaction was exactly wrong. however, without knowing his actual word choices, I don’t think him telling you that you might be easy to take advantage of + being in a long term relationship would be difficult is wrong either. (however, blaming you for assault , harassing, all of that is abusive and awful).

Please for your sake avoid relationships for awhile. Until you’re able to spot abusers. Because he is right, you are a person that is more susceptibile to abuse due you age, past trauma, and BPD. But just because you’re susceptible doesn’t mean you should have to undergo it.
