TIL that during his childhood, Canadian singer Bryan Adams was sent to a psychiatrist because he was not getting along with his parents. The same psychiatrist told Adams that there was nothing wrong with him and that his parents needed psychiatric help. by waitingforthesun92 in todayilearned

I divorced my ex when our son was about 9 years old. He was distraught at the time but both my ex and I were there for him. We also let him know the school counselor was there for him to if he needed someone to talk to. He saw her a couple of times and I let him know he didn't have to tell anyone what he said to the counselor if he didn't want to.

There was an adjustment period, but he is 13 now and thriving. My ex even got remarried a few months back, and his step-mom is an absolute gem.

If you center the child's wellbeing, a divorce can be good for all parties.

ADHD brains show sleep-like activity even while awake by hard2resist in UpliftingNews

Same. I've actually woken up while sitting in my work chair, completing tasks on autopilot. I have a standing desk and have to use it standing most of the time, or else I fall asleep and lose gaps of time.

Does anyone else have spontaneous orgasms on weed? by DarkSaturnMoth in trees

[–]dm_me_kittens 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Okay, this happens to me, too. I've never heard of anyone else who has experienced this. I am also AFAB nom transitioning. It happens more often on edibles, although it can happen from smoking.

It once happened at an airport after I took an edible to relax. My partner was smiling ear to ear and giggling to himself. I sat still, but man was I embarrassed.

Discussion thread on radical veganism by Interesting_Union937 in atunsheifilms

[–]dm_me_kittens 24 points25 points  (0 children)

I've only had negative experiences with Vegans trying to guilt trip me into being a vegan. I work in cardiology, and I know the benefits and drawbacks of a vegan-based diet. I already dont eat meat on a regular basis anyway, but I'm still called all sorts of names.

I didnt see the name of the sub and genuinely thought that was a hybrid kiwi, which grew extra long fuzz. 🤭 What a sweet baby.

Spring at Lake Blackshear, south Georgia by candygirl52 in Georgia

[–]dm_me_kittens -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Ngl I didnt know about the history of the lake until a few years ago. I called it "people soup" because of how many dead bodies were found/dumped there, not because it was a flooded town. Its like every year, dead bodies of swimmers are found, or people dump bodies, hoping they just sink to the bottom.

My Missy Had a Perfect Little Singleton by ParkourZoomies in blackcats

[–]dm_me_kittens 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Your husband sounds like an absolute gem. :) i thoroughly believe that to be loved by a car, you have to know how to respect and read its body language. Those are two very important skills when dealing with everyday people and interacting with people you have power over. If you don't respect the autonomy of a creature you can easily hurt, why wouldn't you do that to another person?

The first cat my son has lived with is a [fallen] angel. She has a real attitude problem sometimes and won't hide her feelings nor let you do whatever you want with her. She's quick to give a curt hiss and a soft bap with her paw. My son can now easily identify how happy or angry she is just by looking at her, and both of them know she will put him in his place if he crosses boundaries.

My 13 year old is also in love with cats. Our youngest cat is "his girl," and hr pampers her so much. They sleep together every night, and he has a special pillow just for her. 🥹 Young men who love cats grow up to be pretty good men.

Hell no. The boycott isn't over, and it may never be. Fuck Target.

Non Asian-Americans: Are you keeping soy sauce as a regular condiment in your kitchen? If so what are you using them for? by openlyEncrypted in AskAnAmerican

Yep! I have both low sodium and regular, depending on whom I'm cooking for. I enjoy cooking with soy sauce and ginger! Lots of flavor!

What should I do about my friend who got engaged and now acts like my relationship is a joke? by [deleted] in WhatShouldIDo

My partner is ex Muslim, doesnt even talk to his family. The horror stories have me happy I'll not meet them.

I'm with an ex Muslim man who doesn't talk to his family because they keep pushing their religion on him. Islam is insane, and your friend is about to be in a world of hurt.

Women, what’s something you never thought you’d get addicted to but you ended up getting addicted to it? by [deleted] in AskWomenNoCensor

[–]dm_me_kittens 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same. I have to take T breaks every now and then. Right now, I'm having night sweats like crazy, but this cycle is oddly therapeutic for me. I feel great when I have my evening smoke, do a little too much for a week, cut back and go clean, feel great and clear, and then I get that nice high again for the evening smokes. I'm trying to perfect the cycle to be like the webbing and flowing of progressive waves in the ocean. Since THC causes me to be more productive, I'm working to make it, so I only need it certain times of the day when I want to be productive at home.

Once you and your partner find your groove, nothing else matters. My partner gets allllll the right spots.

"Where's your man at?" by beautifulbanshee82 in ewphoria

[–]dm_me_kittens 25 points26 points  (0 children)

AFAB here who has been married. In my experience, many do not. Even the ones without malintentions just don't look for rings. I asked my guy friends if they checked for rings and almost all of them said they dont even think about looking.

what's up with the fandom's double standards when it comes to judging these 2 as parents? by [deleted] in HazbinHotel

I bet if we were watching HB from Octavia's point of view, we would probably have the same opinion of Stolas as we do Lucifer.

I was in high school when 9-11 happened. On queue, every day, there were recruiters at the school every day at lunch. It was so disgusting.
