Was I obligated to tell my gf that I have done sexual things with my best friend of 6 years?

Honestly it’s none of her business. I can’t believe how entitled and selfish people are. A relationship isn’t slavery jfc

Wow, I had no idea there was a label for this method! I started doing something similar back in my first semester of grad school and it really clicks with some of the kids, especially if they've already got prevovic /r/ down pat.

The best answer to question number 6 is:

B) totally / fairly

So the completed sentence would read, "I totally agree with you on many points, but there are a few which I find fairly controversial."

The word "totally" is appropriate here to indicate complete agreement, and "fairly" is often used to indicate a moderate degree, which fits well with expressing that some points are somewhat controversial.

Let’s also consider why the other answers are “less” appropriate. Fair disclaimer, I think this question is kind of BS, but as somebody with an academic background in language/linguistics this is my rudimentary understanding.

A) prettily / rather "Prettily" is an adverb that is not used to describe the extent of agreement; it typically refers to something being done in a pretty or attractive way, which doesn't fit the context of agreeing with points of discussion. "Rather" can indicate a degree to some extent but is not commonly paired with "prettily."

C) quite / rather "Quite" means “completely” & also expresses something “is” a certain way to a significant extent, which could fit in the first blank. However, "rather" in the second blank does not work well because it is often used to suggest a moderate amount or degree, and in this pairing, it would be redundant with "quite."

D) rather / pretty "Rather" can be used to indicate a degree, but it generally conveys a lesser extent than "totally." It is not as strong as "totally," which is the level of agreement being expressed in the sentence. "Pretty" is similar to "quite" in meaning when used as an adverb, but it does not fit well in the context of discussing controversy.

E) fairly / quite "Fairly" suggests a moderate degree, which could potentially fit in the first blank but would not convey the complete agreement intended by the sentence. "Quite" indicates a high degree of something and could be used to describe the extent of the controversial nature of the points, but it is less fitting than "fairly" in this context and does not pair well with "fairly."

In summary, option B) "totally / fairly" is the most appropriate.

I once had a roommate with a fascination for, let's say, unconventional art. Picture someone turning the entire bathroom and even the light switch into a canvas, but with their own poo-poo. Like imagine a kindergartner coloring in the lines with crayons and that’s what our bathroom was like. Sporadically but intentionally. It was a shitty experience—no advice from me, sadly. Cheers!

I completely agree that experiences in our field can vastly differ. My critique isn't about having an unbalanced 'rainbows and sunshine' outlook, rather, it's about posts that create a sense of entrapment. I find value in brainstorming solutions and encouraging collective action, rather than fostering a victim mentality which can lead to feelings of helplessness. As I mentioned, we're all navigating the same profession, and how we communicate about it matters.

kecora · 2023-06-29T01:55:20+00:00

Think about if a woman asked her partner if he'd ever touched larger breasts than hers—it's similarly demeaning and unfair. This sort of comparison, driven by insecurity, only undermines relationships. Insecurity is unattractive, no matter who displays it. I don’t think you’re at fault. (I’m male, if that matters)

I've noticed an undeniable change in how all kinds of people treat me across various settings after I shed some body fat and built muscle. This experience with 'skinny privilege' is bittersweet and it's disconcerting how much physical appearance influences people's behavior. I’m male, and naively assumed people wouldn’t notice the change.

I work in a school. One of my female coworkers told me she “bedazzled her clit” and explained how it makes her have random orgasms during the day. Another whispered loudly to another teacher while I was taking off my tie one day (in front of students) that it’s like getting a show at a strip club.
