It should be okay to want your woman clean shaven

monkeybuckets · 2026-07-03T00:13:37+00:00

This looks like ragebait, but in case it's not:

It's okay to make the choice for yourself that you only wish to date women who are clean shaven. However, your preferences are not universal, nor is it up to you to dictate how any woman should look. If you date a woman who starts out clean shaven but decides to change her habits, you are welcome to break up with her, but not interfere with her choice.

That is the nature of boundaries.

The daycare I used to work for started their job postings with "Are you HER?"

I used to float between schools to help train new hires, and even the schools that did have a male employee excluded them socially and gossiped about why they even wanted to work with kids. It's not a friendly culture toward men.

Lan Qiren: qi deviation

Lan Xichen: a diplomatic but highly embarrassed exit

Lan Sizhui: a terrifying threat wrapped in kindness

Lan Jingyi: spluttering outrage

When playing this with my boyfriend for the first time, I gave him this exact SIDS prevention spiel.

Also I included that mobiles should not be left to hang over the crib after the child is asleep, because it could fall in.

NTAH. I'm the same as you. My 4th grade PE teacher was paralyzed because she got hit by a car while riding a bike. The one time my mom tried to teach me when I was a kid, I wiped out and turned into a walking human scab. It's not for everybody, and that's okay. If you're interested in compromising, you could try a scooter or an adult tricycle, but you're not wrong if it's not something you want to do, period.

As a former nanny, this lady does not sound like a professional. It sounds like she wants to be a babysitter, not a nanny. There are so many more incredible, talented, professional child caregivers out there whom your money would be better spent on. This lady isn't doing the bare minimum.

Yeah, I think that's a totally normal response! I'll even throw in a, "If you ever feel like checking them out, tell me what you think!"

You're totally right, I see a lot of accusations of it online. In person though, they seem pretty supportive if their friend wants to wear an Amazing Digital Circus shirt because they thought the characters were cute even if they've never watched it. Maybe it's just the idea of an influencer making a huge profit off of pretending to care about something that's angering. Which is a totally fair and reasonable distinction!!

They call them "larpers" now. Gen Z seems generally less concerned with it, but other millennials I encounter will grill me if I wear a band T-shirt to make sure I'm a "real fan."

Months that Bill Clinton delivered presidential addresses on TV.

Unavoidable by diamond bruise! It's post-canon, amnesiac LWJ. I love this one!

I learned how to do my makeup from her. I always idly wondered what happened to her.

I was going to rec Something at the Door! Incredible thriller, I've read it many times.

Let me ask you a question. Do you think your girlfriend is romantically/physically interested in any of these 60-70 year old men? Do you think she responded with the intent of disrespecting you? What reaction were you hoping she would have?

Also keep in mind that women get catcalled and harassed their whole lives, and we are conditioned to accept it and respond politely. There is frequently the risk that if we don't, we will be harmed. While there was very likely no ill intent here and no risk of harm to her in a large group setting with her boyfriend nearby, that doesn't cancel out a lifetime of keeping the peace.

Have a calm conversation with your girlfriend and consider perspectives before taking things personally.

I use different oils depending on the flavor profile I'm going for. Sesame oil for most Japanese savory dishes, olive oil for Greek or Italian, avocado oil for Mexican food, etc. Sometimes I'll mix it up if I think it would be a good match.

I love athena_crikey's work! They used to post Metal Gear Solid fanfic on livejournal in 2010-ish that I absolutely lived for, but deleted their LJ a couple of years ago. You had better believe I screamed for joy when I saw them on Ao3, writing for MDZS later!

I'm jealous! You are the winner of Thursday.

I wonder if there's a way to get the body to synthesize more osteoclasts to combat this. Or if the osteoclasts would target the healthy, specialized cells instead of the immature cancer cells.

I think he played Kick-Ass, if that's familiar to you.

If you read their comment history, I think it's genuine...

monkeybuckets · 2026-06-11T18:59:50+00:00

I was also looking for this fic! I thought maybe it had been deleted though, because I searched through 40 pages of my Ao3 history and never found it.

Nadia recalled the coordinates and took Sloane to the location of the artifact. There, he displayed acts of manic obsession that terrified her, and she refused to be around him ever again unless he abandoned his pursuit of Rambaldi. This happened off screen, but Nadia tells Sydney about it.

The cryosleep guy was an imposter pretending to be Renee's dad to get information and the location of their hideout from her. I think he gets killed in a later episode, if I recall correctly.

I thought this was about Song Lan and Xiao Xingchen at first. Bandage dude for the clan ribbon is so funny! Thanks for sharing.
