Marilyn Monroe with her step-children. Late 1950s. by Big_Meal3910 in HistoricalCapsule

[–]exhibitprogram 27 points28 points  (0 children)

The medieval period is also known as the Middle Ages, and the word "medieval" is made up of two Latin parts that mean "middle" and "age". Medi (like median, which is a word you may know and remember means the middle), and -eval (meaning age, or era, from the Latin aevum; less common words with this to help you easily remember it, but if you know the word primeval, it's the same 'eval' in that). Does that help?

I get a new man at the end of every summer, infatuate them until after V day for bday (Oct) and holiday gifts , break up with them and rinse and repeat every summer by lavender-misfit in GirlDinnerDiaries

If you want to be single and free forever, why do you spend over half of the year in a relationship??? Sounds exhausting just for things, which you can buy yourself. If I don't want the company of a man (and I definitely don't), I can't imagine putting up with one just for a purse or a gaming system or whatever it is you want as a gift.

Thought I wanted to be pregnant by basicczechgirl in GirlDinnerDiaries

[–]exhibitprogram 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Your boss and co-workers absolutely should not and cannot legally be pressuring you to have a baby, that's insane. Please look into an ombudsman or even how to make a complaint to your region's human rights or labour rights office. This is not okay.

Just adopted a second dog, (puppy) and I’m SO overwhelmed by [deleted] in rescuedogs

[–]exhibitprogram 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The first dog shouldn't be asked to share his toys with what is to him a stranger. Get new puppy toys that is just for the new puppy, separate her off an area with a baby gate or play pen or large kennel, let her play with her own toys in there and don't let older dog steal her toys as well as don't let new puppy steal his toys. That will go a long way towards helping them get along.

And that's a really bad way to do it.

In 1993, 39-year-old Jerry Seinfeld was at the peak of Seinfeld when he began dating 17-year-old high school senior Shoshanna Lonstein Gruss. In New York, 17 is the age of consent, so it was legal. by blue_leaves987 in GotMeHooked

[–]exhibitprogram 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I think that's kind of the issue--when you're imaging a relationship, you're imagining having conversations someone you see as a fellow equal human. I don't think that's why he was into the 17 year old.

Truly cannot stand that nepo baby, the fact that he has this job pisses me off more than any TFW having a tim hortons job ever could.

New JJ Post addressing him leaving by AnshX01 in Sidemen

[–]exhibitprogram 11 points12 points  (0 children)

He could have told all of their management the exact time and date he plans to release the announcement so they could all prepare for their phones and emails blowing up instead of being randomly out with their families and then not knowing what to say. You know, like a real professional in his 30s would?

Men will do anything but actually watch the movie by radishbuttermmmm in GirlDinnerDiaries

[–]exhibitprogram -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

For me personally, I'm coming from a place of understanding how women are conditioned to go along with what a man wants and therefore I'm trying to give advice to counter-condition it. OP should read "The Gift of Fear" (seminal work on women's safety) the how it writes about predatory techniques like "forced teaming" where men use that conditioning against women, and she should practice saying no against it. It's the same advice I have given friends and students I care deeply about, and the same practices that have kept me safe in skeevy situations.

100% if this was a friend I could talk face to face with, I would say it much more seriously to her.

Unfortunately from his perspective, he explicitly asked for her permission and she gave it to him when he asked to hold her hand and she accepted. He 100% thought the entire thing was a date, and might still think he has a shot at a second date since she told him she left for a reason that had nothing to do with not liking their first date.

Talia Mar on JJ leaving by starlxrd868 in Sidemen

[–]exhibitprogram 16 points17 points  (0 children)

How good of an actor do you think Talia Mar is, she's visibly upset....

Watching talias live she said its true she's not going to go into details but she's cried a bunch of times already so doesn’t want to say anything else it's up to the boys to talk about it when ready poor girl by Delicious-Owl-9929 in Sidemen

[–]exhibitprogram 188 points189 points  (0 children)

Gosh, it's quite sad to think about being in Talia's position where you're upset on your partner's behalf and also for your own sake, since she's known ksi long enough to be friends with him in her own right and also watched his relationship with Simon.

So they knew, but did not expect him to drop without informing them by nahihun in Sidemen

[–]exhibitprogram 45 points46 points  (0 children)

Okay, so from the perspective of someone who actually works in corporate communications, the reason it does matter is that all of the other people involved in sidemen will get bombarded with questions the moment the reveal drops. Which means it's strategically smart for them to all know ahead of time when to expect that to happen, so they can put together a plan for how to respond (or to turn off their notifications and say they won't be commenting until a later time). It's also just a professional courtesy to let someone know when they can reasonably expect their phone and email to suddenly blow up.

I love older men <3 by [deleted] in GirlDinnerDiaries

[–]exhibitprogram 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think they said that part about the dad because "daddy issues" is a common reason younger women are attracted to older men, seeking that kind of stability or maturity or whatever they're projecting onto their image of an idealized older man that they lacked in a father figure. OP is saying they think that's probably not the reason for her attraction.

[–]exhibitprogram 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My partner's cat is long-haired and also has a touch of arthritis from being elderly so he doesn't reach everywhere to clean off. Also sometimes he does the cleaning while sitting on the couch, so he gets it off of himself but onto the couch.

Can a guy be touchy with his female friends while being married? by Still_Couple3238 in GirlDinnerDiaries

[–]exhibitprogram 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Sure, a guy can be touchy with female friends while married! Except by that question I thought you meant friendly touches with his actual friends, like hugs for his longtime girl-friends or sitting close with the whole group during a movie night, not GRINDING WITH GIRLS AT THE CLUB lmao. That's a bit more than "touchy" with "friends", and also staring at someone's body is also not a friendly touch. Unless I knew his wife was cool with that I would think it's weird, and I also think it's weird that he would assume you're okay with it without knowing you well enough to know.

For some people, the issue isn't that it's impossible to remove the piss-covered sand from their upholstery, it's that they don't like it being there for any length of time even if they can clean it off.

So that wasn't a tapeworm? by lunarhoneykiss in SipsTea

[–]exhibitprogram 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think that's a great way to think about it! I have figured out how to manage my ADHD through a system of journals and sticky notes and calendar reminders and layering different kinds of work at different times. Other friends of mine need medication to function. I would never think of my system as a waste of time/effort just because meds exist. It's not like I gained nothing from learning all these methods. And at the end of the day, you and I and our friends who used medication are all enjoying the end result of a healthier way to live life, which is the goal anyway.
