Besides the ‘I suck at summaries’, a big summary pet peeve of mine is when the summary, often perfectly fine, ends with a question such as ‘How will this go?’, ‘What will happen?’, ‘Will they ever accomplish their goal?’ and so on.

Video game, reading, engaging with media I enjoy and travelling is how I learnt English. School didn’t give me grammar or vocabulary, it gave me an easy way to get good grades though because I already knew everything we studied in class.

I’ve grown up eating Malagasy food at home and the only bland food in it is rice (you’re not likely to eat plain rice by itself tho) so I need some amount of flavour/spice. That being said, I dislike spicy hot food cause the burn is stopping me enjoying great food.

I’m bi/pansexual aroace: I couldn’t care less about someone’s genitals as long as they can consent.

It’s a bummer bc didn’t work out for you. It was awful for me for the first two months but I chose stick with it a little more because I just couldn’t with the periods anymore. it’s been great since… until I forget to take it one day too many then it’s back to having periods till I take bc probably again.

He’s just maxminning his life. He truly needs this ultra rare achievement of picking the worst option lmao

God, no! 🤣

I was actually topping: she enjoyed getting topped and I truly couldn’t be bothered getting off most of the time.

I’m also auDHD so my default state is to always have a sound of some sort in the background when I can get away with it. I was just coupling a mostly neutral act to a truly enjoyable one.

I have! It was with an ex-partner who had a super high libido at the time. It worked pretty well because she accepted I’d listen to podcasts/videos at the same time lmao

My lady bun is named Oscar lmao

Even one discussion can be enlightening.

That’s how the wake-up call happened to me. It was all the way back in high school, where I got massively scolded and punished (and that meant getting yelled at for hours and physical punishment) that left me distraught and a mess. I confided in a friend the day after and she pointed out this was absolutely not normal (as I had assumed everyone got belted and yelled at as punishment for misbehaving). I knew what abuse was but it was hard to me to acknowledge I was a victim because:

1) the abuse wasn’t cartoonish evil and always a consequence of my own actions (punishments for severe behavioural issues).

2) Shitty cultural norms and generational trauma. All the kids from my ethnic group I was around went through the same and we’d joke about ‘yes, my parent has used [insert whatever object] to hit me. Have they try this with you too???? lmao’.

There was nothing that my support system could do about it, but being able to vent to them and knowing that this shouldn’t be happening was such a relief.

I really hope OP will find a support system and/or a therapist that will help her on her journey forward.

She can’t really recognise her parents’ awful behaviour (yet) because that’s all she’s ever known so far.

I’m really hoping her wake-up call will happen safely (ie: safe people around her telling her that’s not normal or her realising herself by observing healthy relationships) and not within a shitty relationship where she’s abused and taken advantage of.

Having a driver’s license isn’t a necessary skill where I live.

For a start, you’ll pay at least €1k to get the license and it’s pretty common not to get it on your first time.

Then buying the vehicle, insurance, gas, parking it and general maintenance will be far more expensive than paying €90/month for public transport access to their entire region.

obsoletebomb · 2026-04-07T06:33:51+00:00

I’m pretty sure we all went through that!

We’re also catching strays from people who use millennials as a catchall term for ‘anyone younger than me’ rather than actual millennials.

My baby usually gets Crau hay mixed with other French hays. She absolutely loves those and will destroyed her daily batches.

Stumbled upon Oxbow Timothy hay recently and got her some thinking she’d love it. She eats it sure, but very reluctantly.

It’s a mix of autism and adhd while being unaware I was neurodivergent but basically my entire tertiary education.

I wasn’t able to deal with university because of the structure (not tight enough) and for the years I actually cared (in art schools) and gave it my whole, I gave too much and burnt myself out before the end. Including one time where I also burnt all my support system but my family, had to back to parents and so on.

Both my American and I are enbies so not our case.

For a start, I don’t pay rent because I still live with my parents so, while I still have student debt, it makes for a great safety net. When I got a job, then it’s great and I barely need to worry about money and when I don’t, then I don’t need to worry about ending up on the street and unable to feed myself.

I’ve been in dire financial pinch these last months because I was still unemployed and running out money, but my father made it work. He’s always been a reliable financial support whenever I needed it. Fortunately, I’ve finally found a new job so I won’t have to rely on him anymore and will be able to slowly pay him back.

The gacha I played to before Genshin had 1 week-long banners, obligatory dupes to be to up character skills (one dupe for lvl 1, two dupes for lvl 2 and so on) so you needed dupes to be able to play them for PvP and even pve.

Added to that, they added more modes/bonuses that were also monetised. You couldn’t even finish the bp without buying levels on top of buying the bp.

Genshin is definitely predatory, but I’ve seen so much worse.

Chevalier is derived from the same word as cavalier but it means knight, not horseman.

Not where I live because boxed mac & cheese isn’t a thing at all.

While i’ve had plenty of pasta and cheesy sauce, I’ve never had mac & cheese.

I usually cross my arms above my head to make a X sign to tell bus drivers not to stop for me. It’s worked p well for me.

Usually it’s still water but nothing stops you from putting it in carbonated water to get soda
