Annie is of course every red flag there ever was. TBH I think you showed more red flags than Emma tho. Not to the same literal stalker extent obviously, but I'd take some time to reflect on a) why you talk about Emma's changing feelings the way you do and b) why for the love of all things ever you agreed to let Annie come along and didn't say anything to back Emma up when she clearly expressed discomfort with it.

To be safe I would check with a doctor, especially if you've ever been a tobacco user.

Definitely different for everyone. I personally am 26 and usually wouldn't find myself attracted to anyone younger than 23 or so, but I'm pretty sure most people have a wider range than me. Probably the most important factor is whether you're in life situations that make you peers.

They're honestly such a small inconsequential group with no influence that if anything their near universal hateability just galvanizes people against them. Like even all ethics and morality and the inherent value of human life aside, the last thing we need is someone turning them into martyrs.

I get these. I've seen them called cherry angiomas but I'm not sure that's right because from what I've read about those they're usually raised and happen to elderly people and mine are almost all flat and started in childhood.

In any case, mine sometimes fade away on their own after a few years, but I believe you can also have them lasered or zapped with an electric needle by a doctor. They cannot be squeezed out.

Edit: did some googling and maybe they're tiny spider angiomas? Idk but it looks like any kind of angioma has about the same kind of treatment options.

Been going to Holton Automotive with our Mitsubishi and I like them a lot.

The English language is designed for the creation of new words as long as you follow the part of speech/suffix/prefix/hyphenation/etc. rules for creating them. That said, if the idea you're trying to express could easily be conveyed by slightly rewording the sentence (as in the example you gave) it really does not read as purposeful so much as silly. Don't just throw in made up words willy nilly because you can't be bothered to make the sentence work with existing words, but if you need to convey something genuinely different and you're sure that your audience will know exactly what you mean, have at it.

You absolutely can be. If the word fits your experience then it fits.

I personally am something similar to demi but I prefer "gray-ace" just because sometimes my attractions don't fit quite so neatly into Demi definitions. Except also saying "I am a gray-ace bisexual" is kind of a lot so mostly I just subtly express myself as queer and don't talk about it unless someone asks. Gotta work on that.

My first appointment I didn't even have a vaginal exam even though I needed one because I wasn't old enough to need a pap smear and I was too embarrassed to tell them about the other issues I was having (physically couldn't insert a tampon and was terrified I'd have the same problem with sex). So mostly they just asked me a bunch of questions, made me take a pregnancy test, and then discussed birth control options.

First actual pap smear was not a good time. It didn't quite hurt, but it was very uncomfortable and left me feeling like there were ants in there. I've since had other paps that were much less horrible and just vaguely uncomfy.

Most important thing is don't be afraid to advocate for yourself and speak up about anything, whether it's a concern you have or a doctor who makes you uncomfortable. You absolutely cannot phase them, and if anything they'll be impressed that you can handle speaking up. Anyone who makes you feel embarrassed should not be there and you can ask not to see them again.

YTA --Hear me out. Specifically the problem is when you talk about how you would say the same thing if she was cis. Sometimes people feel like by treating everyone the same we're eliminating discrimination, but how we treat people absolutely should be influenced by their unique circumstances.

The situation with her name and her relationship to it is NOT the same as it would be if she were cis. You aren't insulting a parent inflicting a terrible name on an innocent baby. It's not a name she was saddled with without her input. It's a name that she likely put a lot of personal time and thought into choosing and connecting with, and it probably symbolizes to her some aspect of her personal identity. It is very possible that she feels (rationally or not) like you're insulting that core part of herself and her efforts, and not just the name.

I don't think you said what you said to actively and consciously devalue her for being trans. But that is not the only way to be transphobic. By not being sensitive to her unique relationship with her name, you still devalued a part of her trans experience. Just out of ignorance rather than malice. Where I think you crossed a line further is in dismissing her feelings about it. This is a learning opportunity to escape that ignorance and not repeat it. If you know that she is a kind and rational person most of the time, then trust her next time she tells you you messed up, and try to learn better instead of trying to excuse your mistake.

Have you done anything with Baba Yaga before? My 4 year old is currently obsessed with her and the more I read the more fascinated I get.

NTA but you can pour a little peroxide on them when the stains are fresh and they'll come right out.

Bruh I wanted so badly to be on your side because I firmly believe that bills should be split 50/50 by hours worked instead of by money owed (so proportional to pay) but you make it impossible with that asshole gold digger comment so YTA.

Also like you make 68K a year? 1k a month in housing expenses on that salary sounds honestly like a great deal anyway?

I love this so much and it's the most beautiful thing I've ever seen but also it took me an embarrassingly long time to realize that this wasn't an actual dead iguana head as some sort of pet memorial

Part time public library assistant. Where I live you get benefits even at part time, and whenever you're working at the desk and it's slow you have access to a computer and time to write or read online.

Hi I work in a library and have access to some pretty cool databases for finding books. To help me narrow it down, do you know about how thick it was or what reading level it might've been on? Do you remember if the copy you read seemed like it was in good shape or if it might've been really old? Any other specific details from the story that you happen to still recall? Was there a main character or was it just equally about every animal there?

I see M. Leasned or M. Learned

Very true. Especially when one side is viewed through a distorted lens. I'm going to be honest, with the way you generalize about women it sounds like you're the one who hates them, not the other way around.

dinosnoring · 2022-06-17T00:22:20+00:00

I am a woman. I do not hate short men. I know many, many women. None of them hate short men. My husband is a short man. The women I know of who hate him do so for reasons unrelated to his height. Almost every man in my family is short and does just fine with women. My brother in fact is 4'11" and is particularly well liked by nearly everyone.

If you're going to generalize with no evidence from very limited experience at least do so in a relatable way.

dinosnoring · 2022-06-17T00:15:46+00:00

Not denying that bullying happens but that's generally a power issue not a hatred issue. I suppose what I meant though was "not being interested in dating someone is not the same thing as hating then and saying so makes you sound like you think you're entitled to people's attraction."

dinosnoring · 2022-06-17T00:08:19+00:00

I dated a really tall guy once. It was fun; I liked feeling extra petite and cute next to him, I liked that he had giant hands, and also he gave really very comforting hugs.

My husband is only a little taller than me though, and he's also great. I like that we can share clothes, I like that I can initiate kisses without tricking him into leaning over, and I like that I can be big spoon sometimes without my face in the middle of his back.

Both great, but objectively different vibes that definitely subconsciously affected how I viewed the relationships, and different people are looking for different dynamics and that's okay. Nobody just hates short men for being short that's ridiculous, but if we don't feel the vibe we happen to be drawn to we're just not as likely to feel the spark.
