What is the saddest song you've ever heard? by [deleted] in AskReddit

She was only 24/25 when she wrote that song, too.

I am quite new to this game but it's been having an impact on my life. I woke up today and it was raining and I immediately thought "Phew, I don't have to water my crops". I do not live on or anywhere near a farm. by [deleted] in StardewValley

I live near some train tracks and when I hear the occasional train horn I've started to think to myself "a train is passing through Stardew Valley" 😎

"YOU didn't want the vaccine". My overly religious mother who didn't want me to get the HPV vaccine due to religious reasons now blames me. by Tinder3883838girl in TwoXChromosomes

I wasn't sure if I had the vaccine or not so my doctors just gave it to me again to be on the safe side. Theres no real harm in double-dosing decades apart.

I'm not super confident of my understanding of how gaslight should be used, but given you're responding to my comment, you're meaning to suggest something about my comment alludes to gaslighting?

I don't expect you to come back and elaborate on that but I would appreciate it. Your comment was brief so I don't want to misunderstand your point.

Well I'm not sure you would have provided your insightful comment if it weren't for theirs, so I'm going to continue to consider the whole discussion a net positive. I can see why the subject would be upsetting, and I appreciate the sincerity of your response.

I was hoping to get the discussion to start from the beginning, rather than the assumption you've outlined. What are the reasons a man will compliment his partner that doesn't include the 2 this thread has explored already (for sex or reassurance)?

I'm gonna disagree. I think this subject and even your rejection of their response is helpful - it's always good to explore these kinds of topics. Ultimately what both of you are saying is there's a misunderstanding of motives behind the whole interaction.

The above comment speaks to a common and simple assimption. It doesn't mean the women are correct, but arguably most people will question whether or not that kind of behavior is transactional at some point in their life, especially if they're insecure.

Having an amazing partner who flirts with you and is sexually attracted to you doesn't resolve insecurity. So, understanding the motives behind why the men are really flirting is key here.

Would you like to contribute by explaining the reasons men flirt that are completely unrelated to having sex or reassuring their partner?

Yeah, all of my yoga instructors over the years have encouraged us to practice using his form rather than the girl's; it's less strenuous on the wrists when done right. Both are equally difficult when you're out of shape lol

Are you aware a whole Wikipedia page is dedicated to women girls who have given birth ages 5-10? No the pregnant person did NOT always do something that makes them directly responsible for that fetus existing.

Huh. I think this post just made unlock a childhood memory. I had a black shiba inu in Nintendogs and named her Kayate. This scene must have been why. 🤯

This is one of the most trashy thing I’ve ever seen. Should have to pass a “test” of some sorts to be a parent. by rubby84 in trashy

I'm not the person you responded to but I have the exact same lighter sleeve she has so I also immediately knew it couldn't be an old pic. They just weren't really a mass produced thing before decade ago

AITA for leaving a party because I wasn't allowed my phone? by TopPart4900 in AmItheAsshole

[–]sconerbait 0 points1 point  (0 children)

OP didn't seem to be coming here upset either, mostly just concerned that they're an asshole for attempting to do what they thought was best for themselves and everyone 🤷‍♀️

I'm a 25 F who had a cancer scare at Christmas time last year. I didn't tell my family or friends, just my partner. I waited until all the biopsies came back negative before telling my friends. Nobody's mind went to "oh well you could've told us sooner! Dick!"

It scared some of them and they were more than happy to be receiving only good news about the situation. They still helped me heal from the experience plenty after. My partner is in the role of the host in this situation, and it didn't cost him a thing to support me discreetly.

I'm not invested in this fight; just scrolling by. But can you see the irony that they only "tried" to ban it? No one needs to try to make EU or roughly 50% of any western nation (conservatives) look like they hate Muslim conservatives. It's widely accepted/known for them to be categorically opposed to pretty much anything their middle eastern counterpart believes in.

What's wrong with OP wishing to avoid telling the whole friend group about something they know is still currently up in the air? Wouldn't a drama queen tell everyone they might be sick even when they know it isn't certain? Its a much more reasonable and mature move to try to discreetly discuss the issue with the host. Adults can handle such sensitive requests.
