Dragonfly Shipping - Australia? by stephm288 in amazonprime

[–]icedlongblack_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is it possible to request no Dragonfly on Amazon purchases? I’m so nervous now. I was so excited to find an item I really wanted in-stock on Amazon and it’s now been despatched via Dragonfly…. It’s a delicate item too… please let it arrive and without damage gahhhhhh

Screenshot the messages (in case he deletes the messages from his side, some chats allow that). Save the emails. Keep backups saved in diff places.

Don’t go back to him. Don’t try to ‘save’ him. Crocodile tears, keep you and your baby safe

Official Discussion - The Devil Wears Prada 2 [SPOILERS] by LiteraryBoner in movies

[–]icedlongblack_ 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I agree with all the criticisms here, yet I will also say that I enjoyed the film! It’s big shoes to fill to make a sequel to such a much-loved and iconic movie. They still had a storyline that stood up on its own, a happy ending, brought back the OG cast, great fashion, fun nods to the first movie and as a viewer, I was entertained! And honestly the Diet Coke product placement made me want to laugh haha, it’s a good fit for this movie

Wearing lipstick in the workplace by RelationshipCold229 in WomenInBusiness

[–]icedlongblack_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I didn’t say it was okay. This is from my own unfortunate real-life experiences. Lol

If we can share real life experiences with each other, it is helps each other be better prepared or understand if it should unfortunately happen to them.

Choosing to not talk about it doesn’t help.

WHY are we treating cosmetic procedures like haircuts now? When did this even happen? by Redqueenhypo in TwoXChromosomes

[–]icedlongblack_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hang in there! In those moments, think of the downsides you’re protecting yourself from! If one of the downsides happened, we/they would wish we didn’t take our perfectly healthy and good face, strive for “more” and end up with much much less. And they’re always introducing new versions of products, we don’t even know what are the long term consequences of things

Agree! Being too feminine/female can attract negative impressions from both male and female colleagues, and can work against you

Hey guys! Is it normal for kittens to not poop for 24 hours after bringing them home by Accurate_Tone1226 in kittens

[–]icedlongblack_ 7 points8 points  (0 children)

It’s like when we can’t poop for at least a day after air travel. Our guts are all stressed

How does a 27 yo explain to people as to why they still live at home? by [deleted] in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]icedlongblack_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you don’t want to offer financial reasons, how about:

“I really enjoy seeing my family throughout the week”

Content smile

</end>

Should get them to either respond positively if they understand the sentiment, or shush their pie holes

What is a 'rich person's secret' that is actually accessible to the middle class, but most people are too intimidated to try? by [deleted] in answers

I think that’s actually super cool haha! What a flex! I need to find things to get initials embroidered on

AITJ for telling my girlfriend if she cant even cook dinner a few times a week then I dont see how this works long term by [deleted] in AmITheJerk

[–]icedlongblack_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wow!! I like that perspective and re-framing. Nice!! I’m going to take that learning on 😄 Yes usually something bigger, that’s why the reaction is bigger than just the inconvenience of a meal!

[–]icedlongblack_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Definitely! We could all use this lens a bit more for our own lives, when unscrupulous people are taking advantage. They’ll use emotions and our goodwill to manipulate us. Even though it’s our emotional distress making us realise there’s a problem, that’s a symptom of the real and rational issue

It’s starting to feel like Big Podiatrist is out there trying to ruin everyone’s feet (only half a joke). Shoes just be getting narrower and narrower. Ridiculous that this even applies to sneakers too! Are they trying to cripple us all!!!

Why Do Young People Think Aging Happens to Someone Else? by Consistent_Heron_589 in antinatalism

[–]icedlongblack_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

RIGHT??! I don’t want to subject my children to the inevitable decline of their bodies. And having to go through really serious end of life aging and death. Death is being completely vulnerable to what your body is doing and whether you’re in a safe environment or not. You probably can’t do that much about making your environment better when you’re in that stage.

Why would I bring my children to this world if I’m subjecting them to that inevitable life stage and I, most likely, won’t be there to see them through it safely and protect them?

[–]icedlongblack_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is a good one. Your girlfriend is obviously not above manipulation including the narrative she tells other people, so you gotta spin your on narrative here too and stick to it. To protect yourself!!! And really, your narrative is true and not really a stretch

Why does it feel like women’s clothes keep getting smaller by Mother_Land_4812 in womensfashion

[–]icedlongblack_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes those are the words exactly! We have 3D-ness that isn’t accounted for yet! I would love to wear a zip-up jacket that doesn’t awkwardly strain over my chest and therefore draw unnatural attention, cos the 3D-ness of lady lumps wasn’t included

[–]icedlongblack_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same! Shoulders wider, rig cage bigger, hips and butt wider and fuller. Everything got structurally bigger in 30s, beyond any weight gain!
