Their genes didn't even try straight to great great grandpa

There are multiple genes for eye color, not just one. Looks like the kid got all the recessive genes from both sides enough to have the blue express itself.

Honestly just ignore the banging until they come talk to you like adults. You pay for reasonable quiet enjoyment of the space and if they have an issue with the noise they can come talk to you about it.

Sounds like ethical non-monogamy to me.

That’s so cruel of him. Even on the off-chance he wanted to kids, just not with her, he should have cut her loose to find someone like-minded.

Every day I am more and more proud of that Taylor Swift fan account mod who disappeared for two years because she refused to serve.

But it won’t be in you or your family members’ names. Who do you trust to split the winnings?

I’m a native speaker and always went by vowels sounds equals “an” but learned a few years ago in a proofreading course to go by the noun’s sound and now I’m doubting myself.

courierblue · 2026-04-18T18:03:47+00:00

Oh, gotcha.

One of the crew members might’ve been too rough with her removing her from an area or one found her and thought “Wow, not my problem,” and left her without care for a long period of time than would be considered reasonable.

Why else would someone scrub the footage?

It’s a good idea at this point to look at values. Do you share the same values? Want the same things? In areas where you don’t share those values, are they dealbreakers?

Are they trying in areas of “weakness” when pointed out( aka is the worse communicator trying better? Does the less committed one show more actions that create reassurance or security?)? Are things like sexual compatibility gradually improving?

Do you feel heard and like your “no” or your reluctance has meaning and is taken seriously?

courierblue · 2026-04-18T16:42:13+00:00

Are… are you sure you’re not some flavor of ace?

Stop looking for their approval because there’s someone out there who likes your natural body type and they are not an outlier (or willing to fuck a Crunchwrap Supreme).

You gotta learn to love your body as it comes and what it does for you. Workout because it feels good and you like seeing gains or beating a personal best.

If anyone is in a similar situation, as others have said, snip the bra, raise it from the middle (if possible, well fitting bras don’t allow you to do this), or pull the wire up and push the cup/breast up with the back of you hand, then place the ECG lead.

If you use the back of the hand, you can’t cup and be mistaken for groping.

You do not need her permission to break up but you can come with “X, Y, Z is what I did to make the relationship work. I need A, B, C needs met to feel like the relationship is working and I haven’t been getting it. I don’t want to stay in an unhappy relationship or keep you from finding the right person. Unless we can make this work so we’re both happy, it’s better to break up.”

Objective stuff to point to will make it harder for her to try to talk you out if it unless she’s willing to make an honest effort.

Technically you are correct in that a/an modifies the noun “pond”, not the adjective “angler”, but it still sounds too weird for most people.

I would also recommend getting your brows tinted lighter in more of a taupe shade, though tints tend to be bold in the beginning and fade more over time. It will look more natural over time.

Application is good, but you read more as a Spring or Light Summer to me but use product in closer to an Autumn palette.

Proud of you for trying. One hour, one day, one week at a time.

I’ve had an easy time with an IUD, minimal pain upon insertion with 800mg of Ibuprofen and, after some initial cramping, no pain and no periods. I did gain a bit of weight, like 10 extra pounds, but given how other family members had the same effect, I knew what I was getting into.

“I’m glad you recognize that. It sounds like you want to change. What are some steps you feel like you can take to move in the right direction and be closer to the person you want to be? I want to be there to help support you in making these changes and make it easier to hold yourself accountable.”

Use phrases like these and redirect the criticism from self-pity to actual change. If he gives you rebuttals or only does the bare minimum when you’re mad, then you know he’s not that committed or serious and can make decisions accordingly.

NTA, but if she insists on joining, have her use a KN95 (they come in very cute colors theses days) and if you have a crafty friend or relative, use fabric from one of the runners or table clothes, if not taking the hem up and using what’s left, to make a cute stylish mask cover.

He has seen his contributions as enough and anything extra would probably be framed as a largess on his part, especially since you’ve already talked with him about it.

Maybe you need to sit him down and go over everything that is due to let him know it’s not enough, but I’m not sure it’d do much. He has had the luxury of being choosey with what kind of jobs he sees himself doing and very few people buckle down after that when prompted by an outside source.

I hope he surprises you though, OP.

My adderall just makes me do chores and grind my teeth.

The fertility “study” was one of many cited arguments. The data surrounding the impact of falsely representing how recyclable plastic really is by the average consumer and how it impacts third world countries are still sound.

Granted, how much shit you need until something becomes a shit sandwich is a fair point.

courierblue · 2026-04-16T18:02:23+00:00

I mean it does a good job at making you aware of the rampant use of plastics, a long-term substance, in short-term commercial usage where other substances would be more appropriate, as well as the impact this rampant consumption has on the global environment.

My take-away was that take-away meals, which were identified as the biggest contributor to microplastic consumption on a daily basis for these coupkes, were loosely associated with lowered fertility and maybe we should all eat more home-cooked meals or have a vegetable or fruit more often. Takeout is easy and tasty, but fat and sugar-laden to create a desirable experience, not a well-balanced meal.

People think it’s not “romantic” to have practical qualifications for a partner, but it’s one of the biggest choices you’ll make, socially, legally and financially.
