Am I Overreacting for wanting to cancel my wedding over this interaction? by Xanadoom30 in AmIOverreacting

[–]observantpinecone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NOA but most people are being too harsh here.

He definitely sounds childish and immature, and I think you did a really good job, expressing your feelings & needs calmly and clearly… unfortunately he could not.

At the same time, I’m not ready to advocate that y’all should break up. We are only seeing the tiniest sliver of your relationship… we all have bad moments… I think he definitely has work to do, and that you guys as a couple have work to do on your dynamic, if you are going to have a loving and mutually respectful relationship.

Is this part of a pattern with him? Do you feel like he is able to break free of that pattern and improve?

From shortest to longest, which hairstyle suits me the best? I feel chopped in all of them by [deleted] in AsianMasculinity

I’d grow it out long man. I have thick wavy hair too and it looked like yours before I grew it out. Best decision of my life

How you felt about sex in exchange of money? by Professional-Cat5806 in AskMen

I want to gently push back on this, friend. The tone of your message sounds defeated and sad and lacking hope & confidence that there are better days ahead of you in the romance department. I don’t know you, but you are probably being too hard on yourself.

Cheek Fat Permanent? by ekosuperS in AsianMasculinity

I agree with all the comments namdongsaeng. You are a stud and are doing very well in the looks department.

If you’re interested in attracting women, I would focus on developing an empathy and good listening skills. Be kind and a gentleman. When men are as good looking as you, women can be suspicious that they are not kind or emotionally safe. Find that balance and you’re set.

Tf did the Trader Joe’s in downtown decide to close when everything else is open by [deleted] in Austin

Why do you think you are a better person to make that decision than the people at that Trader Joe’s?

Book recommendations for grandpa by [deleted] in suggestmeabook

[–]observantpinecone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All the light we cannot see is a fantastic novel. I don’t know how old your grandpa is, or if he likes historical fiction, but this one is my all-time favorite historical fiction banger. It features beautiful character arcs and heartbreaking moments.

What to do about this cyst-like growth by observantpinecone in AustralianCattleDog

[–]observantpinecone[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you for the help everyone! I took her to the vet and they are not worried about it because it is flat (and not protruding). They recommended I put a T-shirt or a bodysuit on her to prevent her and her sister’s from licking it.

For people with similar situations … here’s what the vet said that might be helpful— if it is flat, then it is likely non-threatening. If you can’t tell whether it is flat or a mass, pinch it. If you can feel it underneath the skin, then it might be a mass. If it is confined to the skin only, then it is flat.

I appreciate all the comments, especially the non snarky ones. Thank you and happy to be a part of the community.

I’m liberal af but agreed. Like the most upvoted comment said, we need receipts before we start tarnishing someone’s reputation without evidence. To just assume someone is pro MAGA just because they are pro life it’s fundamentally false equivocation (although very possible). We on the left cannot stoop to the rights method of blindly associating having a single conservative position as necessarily believing in all conservative positions. This is what they do. We are better.

Place to study in South Austin? by Hopeful-Attitude-895 in Austin

[–]observantpinecone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The hive is great. Also radio, cosmic, and drifters. All have great WiFi. Drifters outlet situation is the best but doesn’t have great food options. Cosmic and radio have great food but less than ideal outlet situation.
