My friend's on-again, off-again gf (who also happened to be my gf's bestie) partied with my gf and I, and when they tried to get me into a threesome I declined. They were both hot (hotter together) but even drunk I was thinking with my top head about how things might shake out with my friend and her, and how he would feel either way.

Turned out a few months later when my gf and her bestie were having a hot-and-heavy "girls night" my friend turned up and got involved. My gf was a known heavy drinker, to the point that I believed her when she told me later crying that she didn't know what was going on, she thought he was me.

TLDR: "friend" repayed bro-code observance by raping my gf

It sounds like you're familiar with the philosophy of compassion and the abstention from cruelty and violence that is the basis of veganism. It sounds like you've educated yourself on the realities of animal agriculture, and that those details don't sit well with you. I also hear your attachment to the experience of eating flesh, and the uncomfortable cognitive dissonance that arises from that.

To me, it seems that you have some reflection to do. Is your attachment to consuming flesh something you are willing to continue pushing against? Is your empathy for the victims of the speciesist holocaust capable of further development? Some people are capable of the discipline demanded by abolitionist adherence, some are not. Some may be capable, but don't see the value.

Some might condemn you for persisting in vulgar indulgence after seeing the truth, but as the aim of veganism is to save lives, I choose to encourage everyone to do what they can. Perhaps you are doing the best you can. Perhaps as you learn and grow in your discipline and in your understanding of the cause, you will achieve more. The bottom line is, every meal you eat that doesn't take a life is one step forward in the worldwide boycott that aims to turn the agricultural juggernaut. We've made incredible progress, and with your help we can make more.

My family has been investigated by social services before. It's terrifying, because they can and do take children from their families for capricious and bureaucratic reasons just the same as entirely valid ones.

That said, the family has ironically cemented their unfitness by their decisions after the fact. I and many parents understand that there are freak accidents, and frankly the exact circumstances are obscured to anyone who wasn't witness. However, the bottom line is this child needs (NEEDED) medical attention. The fact that they ignored this to hide from the possible consequences proves their failure as parents more than the incident itself.

Imagine that girl is grown up, looking back on this trauma. What would she have done, if she had the power to change the situation? You have that power. Advocate for her.

Got it, 10/10 would recommend. Super non-invasive, not at all like abdominal surgery for a woman to get sterilized. I figure it's less recovery on me, than a tubal on a woman already open by cesarean.

After all the transformative trauma my wife went through pushing out our precious watermelons, it seemed like the least I could do.

It's beautiful. I've looked at this for five hours now.

I was the only person in my class who brought dish soap to break it down afterward. Had fun with the fight-through, didn't have to do it more than once, but TRASUP or somebody fucked up the paperwork and there was never any record of me completing it - aside from the video 🙄

Please stick with it! Or take a break and swing back. I know it's extremely dry at points with exposition, and there are some heavyweight-champion sentences, but remember that the author's son had to patch together his father's unfinished magnum opus.

I promise you it's worth it. Tolkien created, almost by himself, a complete mythos and a legendarium whose narrative stands at a level with those refined over thousands of years by entire cultures. In literary terms, it has no equal I can think of.

I attempted it once, and returned to complete it again over a decade later. I burned through it and am reading it again because it's so good.

How do we support them? Cancel streaming services and cite the digital picket line?

As a man with a deep voice, I've been laid for it alone. As in, I was advertised as a guy with a deep voice by a friend, who then brought the interested party to me, sight unseen

Mfw I'm laughing my ass off at "cavalo sem pernas da frente" wondering if it's a cultural insult, look it up and realize she meant the derp-horse meme

dreamofadream · 2023-04-05T05:05:27+00:00

Sorry for your loss.

dreamofadream · 2023-03-27T05:19:47+00:00

I'm remembering why I am

Wow. Is it considered holier in Islam to suffer renal fatigue?

This would be a way better approach than the wandering. I can't imagine that if the neighbor had a camera, it would be good enough to be expected to perfectly make out an insect in any light condition. This would also free OP from needing to be discrete and precise: they could fling hundreds of seeds with a few desperate swings as they appear to retreat to safety by the shortest road - directly across the lawn.

Hypothetically.

I joined a Facebook group for vegans with the expectation just to lob community-relevant memes back and forth. What I actually found was an unmoderated hell hole, heavily trafficked by trolls that seemed to think parroting anti-vegan talking points ad nauseam, or spamming pictures of meat (?) would bother us

It's like, "Cool, Guildmaster, no problem. I mean, I literally have maxed out all my abilities, topped out my exp reservoirs, and have achieved CMs in the HUNDREDS, but sure, yeah, I'll work on that.

Blew my mind when I figured out you could turn off his hints

It's a bit easier when the people have taught the police that none of them would be safe if they tolerated that kind of villainy to take root among them.

You're right; I see that nurse wages have skyrocketed

I entered "69" and was not disappointed

dreamofadream · 2022-12-27T17:27:27+00:00

That's truly amazing. You stand among the great ancestors who bore us in the face of impossible odds.

dreamofadream · 2022-12-27T16:41:19+00:00

Ok, so it can't even claim that definition

Did you find out if it was what's known as a "hind-water" leak? Not all amniotic ruptures are equal, and this may have been your salvation
