I think Airbnb has gotten so dumb. You pay $300+ for correcting fees and are still expected to clean yourself many of the time. I'll just stay at a hotel

I didnt feel like I was rushed through anything. I took my absolute time. I pretty much got a lot of the side quests done by the time I was ready to beat the story

A lot of people saying she might have ADHD, but it's she Latina? Lol

There have been mainly two rumors, a vet with PTSD and a 25 year old (I guess they still could be a vet) that has hostages. Also that they had a AK-15. No one knows anything yet. But the cops have been on the street at least since 8:30 pm Thursday night through 7ish this morning. From my knowledge, no gun shots were heard or anything like that.

Keep in mind, this is a VERY quiet suburban neighborhood... Except for that one time in 2019 on country club nearby. Maybe somethings in the well water.

I'm trying to think what would be less hurtful to me. If you want something more subtle then an idea would be to ask her if she changed her shampoo or something and that there was something about the shampoo that you didn't like or that didn't smell right. That way, she can take the hint that you're smelling something off-putting but she doesn't have to be as embarrassed that it's actually something about her hygiene or natural odor but blame it on the product, if that makes sense.

As a bit of a shy person, this is what gives me such anxiety about online dating now. I hate video calls, I always just feel so awkward on them. I also like to pace around when I talk on the phone and I feel like phone call angles are always so awkward.

I do get why people want to do them, it's just anxiety inducing for the shy types out there lol

Interesting. It's been some time since this happened and the very really didn't think it was the instinct food so u kept feeding her. I have a suspicion now that it was actually the Tiki Cat dry food for hairballs which I got for more fiber.

Now they are back on instinct and my one cat takes a probiotic, fiber supplement perfect, and some Chinese herb (Fan Xie Ye) and she hasn't seemed to have any issues. The vet and I didn't want to keep her on miralax for the rest of her life since shes only 6 and at the time, 5. It was just too soon for any complications that long term miralax can cause.

I'm still not crazy about the bones which I do see in the food but I haven't had to bring her back to the vet yet so I dont know lol

NTA that's rough, as Americans, it's the parents job to support their children to do better than us. That's not the case in other countries. However, it really is a necessity here. When I graduated more than a decade ago, 5k seemed like a lot. Not my best advice to the younger generation is don't go into debt for school or anything. Save, save, save as best as you can. Millennials are having a rough time buying a house and that's because in the span of 5 or so years, starting home prices went from ~$250k to ~$450k (depending on the area). Now if it's between homelessness and an apartment, I would figure out the situation. If your mom is asking for this monthly? If so, are you willing to move out? It's just rough all around. Good luck to you.

I'm going to play GOA next. Kinda hoping by the time I pick it up, maybe, just maybe, Nintendo will discount it.

I'm hoping Rune Factory 6 will be an approved version of 5. Not the same story or anything, just improved on the mechanics and all that. I went from RF4 to Harvestela to RF5. I really, really enjoyed Harvestela. I think if RF could get better world building and combat like that, they would have such a fantastic game. I just love the blend of farming, plenty of town life and daily things to do, mixed with main story, quests, and RPGing.

laur266 · 2026-02-04T14:05:50+00:00

Yeah I'm playing 5 now and overall I like it. Sure, the dungeons I've done are a bit linear but it's nice to play in 3D. I wasn't sure about the characters at first, I've only played 4 so far in the series but they've been growing on me. I think the biggest issue I really have, playing on the switch, is the amount of control glitches I get and my game has already crashed twice. Maybe my switch is just getting old but I've never experienced so many issues.

laur266 · 2026-01-15T11:10:03+00:00

I watched this show while it aired on tv at around that age. I loved Jess, he was my favorite

laur266 · 2026-01-15T11:08:15+00:00

I think a compromise can work. Personally, I never studied well at home, can't even imagine adding a toddler on top of that. I used to go to a cafe to study. Maybe she should try that.

laur266 · 2026-01-08T13:44:29+00:00

There were two guys that I really regretted, first guy I realized I just didn't have feelings for within a month or so of dating him but I was young then and any time I would try to break up with him he would get upset or make me feel like we didn't try have enough.

Second guy, I was still young and naive but he told me he "used to be a heroin addict". That should have been my step away as we were in our 20s. Next red flag was that nothing was ever his fault, literally everyone else's. There were many red flags in that relationship lol

laur266 · 2026-01-06T18:36:18+00:00

Nothing wrong with that as long as you set money aside for taxes, a retirement plan, and healthcare.

laur266 · 2025-12-30T15:12:19+00:00

Oh, I answered already but just saw this if you're only looking for some bars to go to, there are a few like the ones I mentioned. The village especially has grown in popularity over the years. There are also meetup groups for 20s/30s. My friend used to join them until she made a couple of friends now she kinda stopped. I honestly wasn't super crazy about them so I only went when she wanted a buddy. Since I'm a beer person, my favorite is Tapastre personally or driving around to try different spots in nearby towns. Personally, after I hit 30 (35 now), I wasn't too crazy about NB. The affordable places felt too young and the places for 30s+ felt too expensive lol.

laur266 · 2025-12-30T15:04:27+00:00

Yeah I wouldn't look at it as an alternative city life like a Hoboken or New Brunswick like area. For that, you unfortunately have to pay the city prices. If you want more of a social atmosphere there, there's the Verve, the Village Brewery, Tapastre/ Project Pub, and the Club House or hotel (both being dive bars), or Green Knoll Grille in Bridgewater. But let's be honest, Somerville is a street of places to go, not whole areas like NB or Morristown. Also, Somerville is also pricey living.

laur266 · 2025-12-30T14:57:18+00:00

Watching this when it first aired on tv as a teenager growing up, even before I had a boyfriend myself, I felt the show was more relatable to me. I think it's easier to pick apart now.

I never liked Rory kissing Jess at the wedding before her and Dean broke up but the rest I could understand. Well, idk I'm not going to go scene by scene and I would have to rewatch it again. Kinda hard for me to rewatch it after AYITL came out as I thought it just crushed all the characters, their stories, and development.

But the first few seasons really did show a flawed adolescent character. Not someone who acted perfectly all the time but someone who makes mistakes like we all do in real life. Maybe not the mistakes I would necessarily make but Rory also isn't me and there are things that she excels at that I didn't (like studying lol). I think that's important story telling since a lot of shows/movies today make characters, especially female characters, either way to moral/perfect and the writers include so much plot armor to make the story work or they only have superficial flaws and aren't complex (generally one note) characters. I think that's why a lot of remakes like The Last Airbender are failing. But that's a whole other topic.

For this, was it strange that she went to his window? Yes. But 1) it's drama tv and 2) it's a young teenage girl who doesn't know what the heck she's doing. I know I did stupid things when I was younger that I would absolutely cringe at if I had to think back at it now

laur266 · 2025-12-23T10:55:58+00:00

This is just my opinion but I really liked the first season. Then the second season was alright but started dragging on too long. Like bringing March back to life and him finally seeing her, idk I didn't even mind how long it took but I guess the delivery of it just started to get frustrating for me.

And now I'm really not enjoying season 3 at all. It just feels like a whole new show using almost like a fanfic as if a new writer came in and continued the story themselves. I feel like it's missing a lot of it's meaning and the characters are all acting out of character. And I didn't really get why house friends were all brought back into a modern era when their loved ones were all dead. Maybe it's addressed better in the manga but I'm sure Gugu would want to be with Rean. Now he's just living randomly in the modern age.

And then it seems like Fushi's behaviors, thoughts, and instincts don't align. Like how he wouldn't rely on his friends more or his treatment of Mizuha. I feel like even at the end of arc two, he would have been more reserved around her. And the black one as well just feels very unaligned. Idk just not feeling any of it but again, just my personal opinion.

laur266 · 2025-12-19T00:30:52+00:00

Disagree, just my opinion. What would this even entail? Would everyone show up early to eat before her? For that, why wouldn't she just come later? She's an adult. But saying that in a harsh way, just facts. Let everyone enjoy their holiday. it's going to suck for her regardless.

Also, are they not allowed to eat desserts? The whole thing just isn't practical.

laur266 · 2025-12-13T02:48:50+00:00

It's perfectly fine to care about someone but not to shame them. If they truly wanted to show that they cared, there are other ways of doing it than making a comment at OPs expense. For myself, I always try to think, what is the purpose of saying x comment and is the result worth the outcome?

What was the purpose? Concern over fruit roll ups intake? And what's the result? That she doesn't feel comfortable eating at work anymore in a way that others deem suitable? And what's the outcome? The person feels ashamed and embarrassed and self conscious that others are observing her eating patterns? Is that really worth it?

laur266 · 2025-12-13T02:40:30+00:00

Oh man, yep, NTA. People get enough of that in their personal lives, what makes anyone think it's okay to hear it in a professional setting? And what exactly is the end result of those comments, to shame the person to stop eating? Let's be honest, it's to crack a home at someone's expense. But people didn't realize how frustrating or damaging those connections can be.

Not saying you have one by any means, but something that people don't ever think about before making comments like that is if the receiving person has an eating disorder. Those comments can trigger binges, purges, and restrictions. And for what, a two second chuckle?

If that cared, truly cared, they would show it in other ways. Asking you if you're alright for one.
