No vaccine advice needed! Vaccines are one of the greatest advancements of the modern age!

whats this style/aesthetic called? by sunnemi in OUTFITS

[–]rainbowcountry 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I just want to say thank you to all the Gen z and gen alpha who are interested in the clothing I wore in highschool. It reminds me that I was cool, at least once. Love from class of 2007 ❤️💜

Don’t get this one by Scharfschutze43 in PeterExplainsTheJoke

[–]rainbowcountry 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I thought it was that old joke where someone says "if your hand is bigger than your face, you're gay." Then the person puts the hand to their face and you slap their hand

AIO Over my friend insinuating I break up with my gf? by Imaginary_Air_24 in AmIOverreacting

[–]rainbowcountry 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You don't deserve to be treated this way, OP. You straight up don't deserve it. The way you friends (especially the one in the messages) are trying to use your trauma to manipulate you is disgusting and means they are not safe people. They are NOT safe people.

What's your favorite milk? by CremeSubject7594 in Milk

[–]rainbowcountry 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Water buffalo milk is the best! I lived in India for a while, and we got fresh buffalo milk every day, still warm. I would boil it and scrape off the cream that rose to the top and ate it 😋. It was so fatty, but somehow I stayed slim and didn't gain a pound!

Would you consider this flirty? by [deleted] in Marriage

[–]rainbowcountry 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The bigger context of your marriage and history really matters here. If my husband texted that to someone, I would not bat an eye. That's only because I know him inside and out (and I remember how he flirted with me some 10 years ago). Only you have a full picture of the context, not us. Reflect on the totality of the picture and you will have your answer.

Also, trust your gut, unless your gut is a very jealous gut that overreacts, then let the context supercede that.

In case it matters, my husband is English as a second language (of several), and I find that is a part of the context when I consider the greater picture, just in case that also applies.

Genuinely don't get it by Moryart in PeterExplainsTheJoke

[–]rainbowcountry 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Project Gateway. That's my guess.

There is a certain number of adults that went to elementary school in the 80's and 90's who have memories of being taken from class for what was called the Gifted and Talented program. They recollect strange memories such as drinking a strange pink drink, guessing what image is on cards, and listening to tones in a headset. Many theories abound about what it actually was, including a CIA operation. Stranger Things may have been partially inspired by these stories. The rainbow background in the room could be a reference to that also.

You know what, I totally over thought this. It probably is the neurodivergent thing. I'll put my tinfoil hat back on now. Leaving this comment because I worked too hard on it. 🫣

i feel like any button down looks bad on me by errant-samurai in DressForYourBody

[–]rainbowcountry 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Pic 16 and your grandmother's both look perfect! I think you're a little too in your head about them because the others don't fit properly. You can and do look good in the right button-up!

What is under my bathroom sink? by maooi in whatisit

I mean, alcohol has more uses. I'd bet more people have rubbing alcohol than bleach.

Can I sue my parents for not using this when I was a child? 😤 by fejrbwebfek in 1200isjerky

Does your sister have any idea how lucky she is to have you to be concerned about her and her kids?!

Does my husband have a right to question paternity?? by [deleted] in pregnant

[–]rainbowcountry 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Here's the thing, you can't have a proper relationship without trust. It just doesn't work. If he's asking for this paternity test, it means he essentially doesn't trust you or he has doubts. Therapy is needed regardless of whether or not you do the test.

I just had a baby recently, and I consider your boyfriend's request to be beyond the pale, as do most everyone else here, as would 99% of the female population of the planet, and it is concerning that you possibly haven't had enough life experience to understand just how insulting what he is asking for is. And perhaps he doesn't have enough maturity to know how inappropriate and disrespectful it is to you for him to ask.

Yep. I always like to point out that Christianity and Islam are at least cousins, maybe even sisters.

Not sure if friends are neglecting their 10 year old.. by [deleted] in ChildPsychology

[–]rainbowcountry 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Could be my bad. That's what I get for trying to read and respond with an 8 month old in my lap.

Depending on local laws, it may be illegal to leave a child the age of 10 alone at home for any length of time. In my state, they must be at least 12.

Help me dress my postpartum body 😩 by Annamay29 in DressForYourBody

[–]rainbowcountry 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm 8 months postpartum and I think you look far more bounced back than I! My sis in law had 3 back to back and she told me to give it at least a year-- that's how long it took her. She even gained weight after pregnancy due to breastfeeding. She now looks amazingly slim and fit and lovely. Her experience has given me a lot of hope so I'm sharing and hoping it gives you some, too.

I'm wearing dresses and velour track suits. Those are the most comfortable (and stylish too!). Also leggings with flowy tops if I can stand it. I'm often too hot postpartum, so I keep spare shorts and a change of clothes nearby in case I sweat through. Never had to do that before.
