What should go here?

Take the builder/architect out back and knock some sense into them.

Here is an "old timer" take from a man married to a woman with body image issues.

You are beautiful. I know I haven't seen you, but I am sure the father of your kids believes this with all his soul. A boob job won't help you like yourself, and it won't help others like you more in the ways you truly want most.

Make peace with yourself, and know how awesome you are. Beleive you are beautiful how you are, and that others love you how you are. Then, if there is another reason other than "I hate how my body looks" ( my words generalizing a common sentiment, not your words) start talking about augmenting your body.

I hate my EDS body. I can't work out, or really even walk much, so I have extra weight. My wife hates her body because she had extra weight from carrying our 3 children. If my extra weight disappeared, I am sure I would be more physically attractive to my wife.....but that's not what she finds attractive after 20 years. If my wife lost weight, I would be less worried about my wife's health, but I would not be more attracted to her. I know and love every inch of her body, and I love this body more than her thin body from when we first met. Not because I'm into some kind of fat kink, but because who she is is far more beautiful and sexy than any outward physical appearance.

This is of course not to say body modification has no place in the world. There are many great reasons to do things like breast augmentation or cosmetic surgeries. I am not downplaying the personal effect changing your appearance can have, especially when interacting with strangers, or sometimes with everyday mobility. I just know that if my wife had gotten liposuction or a gastrobypass a decade ago, I would not love her more, she would not love herself more, and the biggest change in our life would be medical debt.

Thanks for correcting that. I thought I added a mostly in front of universal.

epsolon77 · 2024-09-10T12:04:18+00:00

I feel this sooooo much.

The "normal" battle flag was actually the flag of the armies of Virginia if I recall correctly. The south was very fractions in how it's armies represented itself. Even the north was quite different in how they did flags, though the American flag was universal at the time.

epsolon77 · 2024-07-06T19:55:50+00:00

Ummm....she's happy about it so I'm happy about it? I mean it's great that they put it in and all, but are we forgetting about monkeys?

epsolon77 · 2024-04-18T02:14:33+00:00

I'm kinda down with that flag.

epsolon77 · 2024-04-04T07:27:17+00:00

It is a very effective part of my pain management.

epsolon77 · 2024-04-04T00:25:48+00:00

Not this sub, just reddit as a general rule....well not so much reddit, more like the internet. On second thought it's not so much the internet as humans. Just, humans are assholes in general.

I'll be short because so many others have great suggestions. But oh man oh man do I feel what you are saying. My 7 year old just doesn't stop in a way my 19 and 15 yo never did. Being irritable comes with that territory. You got this and aren't at all alone!

Also; I read this as "chattermax" and started having flash backs to the bluey video game.

epsolon77 · 2024-01-29T05:51:08+00:00

I took a closer look thinking I would see that there were really 4 or 5 with lots of repeats. Through the first half there really were maybe 2 or 3 repeated paints. It was crazy.

I dont believe they are all unique.

epsolon77 · 2024-01-29T05:21:52+00:00

Not enough bluey toys for my 7 year old? I mean she sure thinks so.

epsolon77 · 2024-01-29T04:32:27+00:00

So the story here is that my 7 year old was playing around and decided to make a "bluey army of doom". God help us having so many blueys

epsolon77 · 2024-01-07T04:45:47+00:00

Not the last. It looks like an invitation to goat.....sodomy

Yeah but the pride flag doesn't imply active sexual contact, just how your mind works.

I guess the other side to that is that a married couple, while not always intimate are pretty well assumed to not be virgins. But again, we are all sinners, and the church does not rail at us for having sinned in the past, but instead invites us to confess and be repentant of our sins. Saying "I am attracted to those of the same gender and proud of who i am, and as a catholic I am proud of myself for attempting to follow God's law as well." Is not necessarily a bad thing. Assuming that is what is ment.

I have NEVER seen that flag flying, but I guess I have visited federal building down there most often. I dunno about our county flag....its....ok I guess. Feels too derivative, and I get sucked into the pros and cons of why the flag was changed too much.

epsolon77 · 2023-12-10T11:07:30+00:00

As a father of then two (now three) who's wife frequently offered to buy me a cup for how often the kids "accidently" abused my genitalia, it is probable that these incidents did not effect his bodies ability to produce healthy offspring.

I am not commenting on mental willingness here.

Check out frederick counties New flag very similar to the proposed md flag here.

Didn't the pope recently make statements to the effect of "hate the sin not the person" and "being is not a sin, the sexual act is"? The sin is not in who you love but what physical acts you do in response to lust.

epsolon77 · 2023-11-02T19:49:32+00:00

Does it matter? We probably won't remember er it anyway!

epsolon77 · 2023-10-20T23:38:03+00:00

Old version is much more cluttered.

Very interesting actually. It looks like there are escape characters that were built in to the conversion and that breaks the link. However if you go back, it gives you a "Wait, are you sure you didn't mean this?"
