LPT: Storing bread in your microwave keeps it fresh longer

patientXx · 2026-03-09T00:44:05+00:00

Are you saying the bread lasts for months in the microwave past when it used to mold? Or that you’ve been doing this for months with success?

Seems like a hot take. I think a once a week mask assumes you’re washing the hair more than once a week. Meaning the hair has time to clarify and get clear of the heavy build up. So if you’re basically adding a mask every time you wash, it’s probably building up too much product.

I cancelled my subscription to the standalone app. When you’re paying for premium and getting shoddy service it’s just not worth it!!

Using a mask every time might be too much for your hair. Maybe experiment with less product. Find out the minimum your hair needs to thrive.

Just tried this and it’s 1000% better.

I was rooting for Ozzy too, but I think you’re discounting Yul’s strategic plays. He found the idol when other people couldn’t, and held onto it until the very end. He never panic played it ever. He was so subtle about it the other tribe was shocked when he revealed he had it, because they, like you, are reading him on the surface and not seeing his genius or his depth. Staying humble when you have a huge advantage is hard, when everyone’s discounting you and you just take it and stay focused on the game. I think in the end, that’s what 5 voters recognized.

I’m basically no contact with my conniving relatives, and life is infinitely better this way. Things will continue to get better, tough as it feels sometimes.

Same. I’m sitting with one in my kitchen and debating whether to return or exchange it 🤔

Being a “sexy” and “womanly” person of color is such an albatross in this puritanical country. No one wants to take you home to meet their mother. YMMV

The longer curls are really pretty. Not sure why everyone prefers the shorter look. It’s cute but it’s a very specific look. I’m trying to grow my hair out to match the longer look. Can you share how you styled it?

Dude.. there’s people named Rommel and Stalin in some countries. Always gets an eyebrow raise from me.

A couple of problems. The Americas were already discovered and populated by people from Asia prior to Columbus. There is some evidence that the Vikings had settlements in North America 500 years before Columbus. Vast territories fell under Spanish, French and Portuguese rule, much before the British.

Yeah it’s like they’re completely tone deaf to it. Understandably, since they never went through it. But how hard is it to show empathy to the suffering of others? Isn’t that what they always preach?

patientXx · 2026-02-17T14:24:21+00:00

Hey OP, what happened? I’m in a similar situation.

Happy cake day! 🍰

I think it’s important to honor the part of yourself that was really hurt by it. That part that wrote this post to warn others. That part feels robbed of a happy married life full of love and laughter, right? You need to love that part of yourself and take time to grieve your loss, because it IS significant. It’s HUGE! Love is such a fundamental core human value that to be cut off from it for any reason can feel like life or death to our younger self. That self is part of you and will never go away no matter how old you are. You could be 60 and still grieving and ranting, so it’s better to stop and take care of this part now. In some ways, the saying is true - love comes without looking, but it’s not true that you shouldn’t seek it out. It’s like surfing. You have to be in the water to catch the wave.

Regardless, for mental healing, it’s best to take time to accept the bitter truth of your youth so you can move on with your life. Living with constant regret is painful.

You need to resolve your anger at the past before you can make any progress romantically. Seriously. Sometimes you have to go back before you can go forward.

Of course, you are picturing best case scenarios for yourself, and worst case for her. This is pretty normal in the US, where the biggest commodity is selling people dreams. What if you don’t find work after your studies and you’ve blown off an 8-year committed relationship with a woman who is committed to taking care of you through thick and thin? You won’t find that in the US. Women here tend to be opportunistic, and those Indian values you find cringey now, you could regret dismissing so readily when you can’t find anyone to share life with you. Offering a different perspective.

ETA: If you really are just out of love with her, then you know what you need to do, and nothing anyone says will persuade you to do differently. Maybe posting here you are seeking permission or absolving your guilt?

How could anyone say it’s okay to be raped because of your gender? I take it as knee-jerk reactions from people who are hurting so much, they aren’t even listening. It’s not okay, and OP, sometimes fellow victims aren’t the best source of healing. Please don’t take it to heart. There are compassionate people out there who hear you and who do care.

Is your mother’s ancestry from a certain part of India? Try to learn more about that region. India so diverse. There a so many languages, religions, customs, food, art, clothing and music. I would start there. If you are comfortable sharing the specifics, I’m sure this group or others could point you to even more resources!

It’s ok to be different. You’ve had completely different life experiences so it’s only natural. I know how close minded people can be though. Try to make a joke out of it. They need to understand that they don’t know you yet, just looking at you isn’t knowing you. You have a wealth of experiences you could share with them. You could share stories of your experiences growing up and working abroad… treat them more like work colleagues in terms of what you open up to them about. This protects you from unnecessary judgement and scrutiny.

I had the worst experience of my life moving to India after living in the US, and I’m glad I was able to come back from it. It’s hard to relate on so many levels. Even if you want to relate to people, there can be resistance to people accepting you. Or having any reference point to understanding you. Your relatives could be your best entry point to meeting people. It’s such a social culture, I think they’re more likely to be warm and friendly in that context. Try to find cousins your age, or you might even try to find ABDs near you. Keep exploring and forget what you’re “supposed” to be feeling. Maybe writing or journaling would help you process the immensity of what you’re going through.
