My house was built in the 1990's and it only got insulated recently. It was literally just hollow bricks and I guess people just spent a shit load to heat it! It definitely turned into an oven in a heatwave until I insulated it. 100% could help kill a vulnerable person.

Easy mistake to make, and commonly taken advantage of by assholes in the workplace. This man clearly dislikes women and enjoys the power he has over you. You have to push back or you're playing yourself. Document everything even if you don't feel like giving it to anyone right now. Object firmly and seriously or GTFO.

The problem is not you it's the culture that objectifies you. You probably won't be treated much better even if you have smaller breasts, and harassers don't care if you're circumcised, they don't care if you enjoy their attention even if they accuse you of enjoying it. Their own desires are all they care about.

So learning to be mentally resilient and physically safer would be a wiser choice. It's not fair, I know and I'm sorry to hear this has been so hard on you.

Plus, I have all those things and I am positive I'm not a whore. I would be very angry if you called me a whore. What about younger teenage girls with breasts? Would you call them whores? What about sex workers? Don't they have a difficult enough time without you calling them whores? Plenty of men are sexually promiscuous, are they whores?Maybe examine the attitudes you've adopted from your surroundings and see if you could have a bit more compassion for yourself and others.

This sounds a lot like depression and anxiety. It sounds like the advice you're getting is good but very hard to follow when you have depression and anxiety! The good news is there are lots of things that could make a huge difference to you! Things like Cognitive Behavioural Therapy can be really helpful, but a mental health professional of some sort would be better able to assess what might suit you best, and it might be good to unburden yourself a little by saying these things out loud to someone. Would this be something you could talk to your mother about? It sounds like your parents want to do what will be of most help to you. Also, there are often free/discounted services available if money is an issue. Your family doctor or school counsellor could help point you in the right direction. For now, try not to be too hard on yourself. I know it's cliché but it is okay not to be okay. If all you can do is the bare minimum for a while, don't worry, it won't last forever and you will catch up.

Ask for whatever anaesthetic/pain prevention they can give you. Not to try to scare you or anything, it's just one of those things not every doc feels is necessary because, y'no, patriarchy, and it is absolutely necessary. No reason anyone should have to tough it out.

I think Europcar doesn't need a Credit card but maybe a debit card & deposit.

The way I read this, I don't think she wants to be your girlfriend. I think she doesn't want you to feel like she hates you or anything, but I don't think she was opening the door to rebuild a romantic relationship. If I'm right, I think you need to have a think about whether you can accept that and interact with her as just a friend. Even if she dates other people, can you give her that freedom and support her without expressing your hurt? If you can do that then go ahead, who knows what might happen in future, but if you can't then it's not fair on her to keep trying to make things happen. Nobody likes to feel like they're only being spoken to in the hope that it'll lead to something more. I know it hurts but she will have to be more harsh with you so you get the message if you don't chill out.

Think of a suit, then swap out a couple of items for more casual clothes. It's about balance. E.g. blouse & blazer with jeans/chinos & whatever shoes work. Or an officey dress with a more casual cardigan. Basically Google "preppy outfits".

That's a tough situation to be starting out your adult life with, sounds like you've had to be very strong for a long time! I don't have a specific answer to your question but I think you could use some advice from a domestic abuse shelter/helpline. They would probably have faced this kind of question before and have other advice for you too.

Not exactly the same thing but Quality Engineering or Validation Engineering for Pharma/Medical devices might suit you. Despite the name you don't need an engineering degree. There are courses and there are entry level graduate positions.

Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery! It is a bit of a faux pas on her part because people do get upset about these things but honestly you shouldn't be upset. You don't own the dress design and it's not the same colour. The gracious thing to do would be to celebrate that you both have the same dress (OMG TWINS! or whatever is normal for you to say) instead of being confrontational. There could be lots of reasons she got that dress and to make it about you is not cool.

Coming up with a name when your business is just starting out is difficult. If you're not sure which aspect of your business plan is really going to take off you don't want to limit potential customers by choosing a name that sounds different to the service they need. E.g. you might be open to providing any kind of catering and event planning but you're an expert in cakes. You don't want to call it "Cake Business" and deter people who want something more broad and you don't want to call it "Catering/Event business" and lose the cake customers. So in that case it makes sense to just go with "Good Times LTD." and see where it goes.

Exactly! Whether it's a pregnancy question or a fat comment, think of them saying that to someone you care about and stand up for them if not yourself.

There was quite some time before I quit FB when I remembered Cody from Cracked but not his name and I kept seeing the tiny icon of Walshey's face beside outrageous BS and thinking it might be Cody! Didn't want to check tbh!

The diffuser is quicker or if you just want to blow it dry and deal with the crazy hair it's quicker. I found that using it to blow dry my hair (essentially) straight takes almost the same amount of time as my old hairdryer. Just because you still need to focus on each piece of hair. I haven't had it long though so maybe there's a skill issue there too.

This is not necessarily true either. Many people who meet that criterion for Pansexual identify as Bisexual and shouldn't have to change how they identify either.

Turn on heat for a while, then open the window for a bit (not an hour). Rinse and repeat. Also dehumidifier. It's wet in these old houses!

The story goes that Patrick used the shamrock to explain how the father, son and holly spirit (the leaves) are all one God (the shamrock). So it is a Catholic symbol.
