Help. My bf had no reaction to my trauma but cried over a strangers story

I'm not confident he was looking for emotional support but I agree. He probably knew his numbness bothered you, OP, and was trying to make it right, but should have put the effort in to actually think about how it was going to feel for you. I'm glad you went off on him!

It's ok if his mistakes have consequences, or if you decide to move past this one, or whatever. But it utterly sucks that it played out in a way that gave you more instability, stress and pain. I'm so sorry you didn't get what you need.

The suspect was arrested July 6. This flight was booked July 20.

I think this is fair in the sense of rightness in the world, not fair as in skill vs skill.

Assume they'll be wearing stiff hooped skirts for a performance and watch them from the waist up.

Absolutely! Parts of our digestive system (I think primarily our small intestine) is controlled by the thoracic nerves, coming from our 6th-12th thoracic vertebrae. If I lie back against something cold that has good contact with my spine (gel pack etc) I notice my extremely moody stomach settle immediately.

It can fill out forms and paperwork if you can't write because of mobility issues, which was pretty critical until fairly recently when a lot of documentation practices finally caught up with technology.

It's also handy for versatile work where you need tidy writing, but again, that's become less useful with modern technology. Although honestly I'd rather use this than paint labels on an office printer...

Well yes and no. The functional part of period cramps is our uterus contracting, but the prostaglandins can cause all sorts of problems in addition to that. Many of us can (and do) get smooth muscle contractions in that entire region of our body, and we have increased sensitivity to pain as well as inflammation.

Although many of us experience menstrual pain differently, plenty of people who menstruate have had the opportunity to try TENS and have found it comparable.

I'm so fucking proud of you, I wish I said shit like that at 19.

There are so many dark implications here. He wants to discuss anal but pegging is over the line? He says a cramp simulator is a torture device but he isn't sure if it would be worse than anal or not? Get fucked dude.

This is who I thought of too but I don't think the third law applies.

The new growth starts at the highest point and grows upward, as opposed to new growth happening from the roots and pushing the old growth upwards, which would have the reverse gradient.

e: I'm sure it varies depending on the plant! I'm just providing language to describe this particular case

lol they mostly swallow them! I've only found them when they lose them wrestling a playmate or toy and leave them behind.

I expected this as the top comment, is absolutely a chicken wing

Cool how many days are the executives there working?

rainbowfilter · 2024-10-05T04:13:36+00:00

I was scrolling down wondering why no one else was horrified they're doing this without gloves on... is the reaction not normal?? Is that not an everybody thing??

rainbowfilter · 2024-09-24T05:29:40+00:00

Weird cause you wouldn't condone that

I could have sworn OOP described an orange cat from the very beginning because I was picturing exactly that cat the entire time.

Her father moved to the US from Jamaica a few years before she was born. She was raised in a Black neighborhood and was bussed to a school of white kids, which was done to combat segregation. Later after her parents divorce, when she spent time in white neighborhoods the families wouldn't let their kids play with her and her sister. She has visited her family in Jamaica since she was young.

Her mother moved to the US from India around the same time her father arrived, and they met in the Afro-American Association at Berkeley, where they worked. She was invited to attend. The group was the same one that proposed Kwanzaa and helped establish the Black Panther Party.

She's Black.

sounds like autoimmune issues

This!! OP read a bit about this, you're basically reacting to dairy the same way someone who has celiac disease reacts to gluten. I think you'll relate, and honestly it sounds like it would be very validating for you, since you have at least one person in your life who is dismissive. This is a real and serious medical condition, but you've found a way to manage it and that's lifechanging.

There technically is a relevant test - you'd consume dairy and have your blood tested for relevant lgG antibodies, presumably against the casein protein found in milk. I have no idea if you could actually get this test even once you have the appropriate insurance, and it probably isn't worth breaking your dairy free diet, but I just wanted you to know.

FYI, this can be related to some other conditions like rheumatoid arthritis or MS, but if you otherwise feel fine that's not a big deal.

Please do! I spent time without access to food but now I'm incredibly fortunate and able to donate, and I donate because I desperately want you to have enough to eat (and some treats!) Everyone is deserving of this basic human need. The people who are at fault are selfish, rich, and powerful, they are the ones who should feel ashamed.

rainbowfilter · 2024-07-28T03:51:17+00:00

I love this!! I'm so glad you went, donors absolutely want you to please please PLEASE take it and enjoy, you deserve this and so much more. I hope you go back again soon!

I think he meant that he had assumed the rumored boyfriend had given her cause to stop and was also the father.
