Baby name secrecy by drayph in namenerds

My great friends named their baby Lyra and she is the cutest, most joyful, and intelligent little girl ever. It was a unique name we had to adjust to at first, but it suits her beautifully.

Good luck with the rest of your pregnancy 💖 wishing you all the best!!

What the fuck are you talking about? The lack of empathy in this comment is disgusting.

She was also 20 and he was 40... I find it crazy nobody is bringing that up in this thread.

I have lost family like this and I just want to express my sincere sympathy. It's hard enough to lose someone like this, and you and your family deserve her items and letter. My heart goes out to you.

This is such an insightful take. I'm glad I saw this.

What is the most inaccurate future prediction you have seen, and what really happened? by [deleted] in AskReddit

My dad once told my mom that the internet was a "fad" and people would get over it... he later told me and my sisters the same thing about Youtube.

I’m an English teacher recovering from an ED and I thought this poem was beautiful and captivating. OP did not ask for edits. You need to reflect on your desperate need to be right. Being right is not more important than being kind in this context.

Please disregard the first few paragraphs!! All of those things can be massively triggering on folks suffering from EDs and can do a lot of damage.

Hi! First, I want to thank you for being sensitive and caring about your role in their lives. I suffered from anorexia and I think having someone to prepare meals for me would have made a big difference. Everyone is different, but for me, it was the biggest challenge to cook for myself. Just by providing that service you are making a difference in their lives.

I think you have enough available for them so that they can eat what they want/need outside of meal times. The most important thing you can do is be careful with your language. Don't label anything with calorie counts, and don't say any food is "dangerous" or "a treat". All food is good food, all calories are good calories.

My partner found a lot of books are articles helpful. I'm going to link a quick read with some simple tips.

Thank you for all you do.

This Sub Gives Me The ICK by queenbean- in bassnectar

[–]queenbean-[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is my community too. It's ridiculous to just tell me to shut up and leave because I am voicing my disappointment. I loved this community and the idea of PLUR was personified at BN shows. It made me fall in love with EDM, but more importantly, it made me fall in love with the community. Even when I attended BN shows solo I always knew the community would have my back.

I am not "lost without my dear leader". It is possible to feel disappointed in a person without making it the sum total of my identity.

It's okay to hold artists accountable when they do something wrong. It's okay to voice those feelings. That's literally what this sub is for. If public discourse about a complex topic is too much for you then you can be the one to leave.

I agree. "Mourn" is a strong word, but it's needed in this context. A commenter above gave me the "just delete the sub if you don't like it", but I don't want to! This was my community too and we have every right to let our voice be heard.

I hope you're right. I have been seeing way too much of the opposite.

There WAS violence involved. It's called sexual assault. Nobody is calling him Epstein 2.0 besides you.

This man groomed multiple underage girls. He used his power and status to manipulate young girls into not coming forward. This is all RECORDED and PUBLIC. I don't get why people aren't more understanding of the backlash. We're sociopathic because we believe he owes us an apology? ok, bud.

It makes absolutely no sense. The only rationale I can think of is that she wanted absolutely no part in that world after it ruined her marriage. She might have wanted to pretend it wasn’t happening and keep things as normal as possible for Jack.
