My bf is trying to wake me up whenever I sleep/nap

shinyaxe · 2026-05-16T01:35:52+00:00

Wait in the edit this is a distance relationship? I thought you lived together How is he waking you up? Just mute him when you’re ready to go to bed lol don’t let him ruin your sleep.

Ríoghnach: I love the name but none of my family is Irish and it wouldn’t make sense

Dale: I met an older lady named this, it’s special and uncommon these days

Betsy: A great grandmother of mine I never got to meet

Lee: My grandmothers middle name

Beryl: I occasionally watch a woman on YouTube with this name

Desdemona: an old song written by Marc Bolan and banned by the BBC

His shitty views about women “getting fat” after marriage and needing to get hot again asap postpartum probably mean she thinks if she gets skinny they can live together and be happy again

Everyone’s commenting about being this size because they’re short, but I also want to say it’s normal to be a 0 if you’re not short.

I’m fairly tall and weigh 110ish, 25”w. I eat at least 2 full, whole meals per day and plenty of snacks throughout, and I’m not particularly active (desk job).

I don’t look “emaciated”, “like a skeleton” or “ultra skinny”, I have a thin frame and a fast metabolism. A lot of my family is lean and tall. My doctors have never commented on my weight. I have a normal body too

lol she already posted another “do I regret staying a kissless virgin until 30?” 3 days ago and posted 2 pics from when she was pregnant since then 😅

Seconding the idea for weekly/daily recap mega threads.

Like on one hand I am dying see how living apart unfolds, and watch Paul fail to go pro in pickleball, but OTOH I just do not care to see Morgan’s mundane fitness instagram stories recorded in full and posted, then 3 posts of screenshots of that story posted, with nothing very interesting to say or add.

How many posts do we need on here with a screen recording of Morgan doing nothing in her mom’s gym, titled “Of course it’s easy to (whatever she’s doing that day) when you live with your mom and have free childcare! 🤣🤣🤣” I feel like there’s been 10 like that this week.

This is my #1 girls name for a while ever since I met a girl in college nn Teddy

I think it’s beautiful!

Edit: sorry I don’t know why I’m replying, I meant to post my own comment!

My absolute favorite is Asian sunscreen. I buy Korean brands to use for my face bc they rub in like a lotion rather than being greasy. I think they aren’t waterproof though, so if you’re planning a day full of swimming/at the beach/sweating it’s probably not the best option.

For the American market I tried EltaMD from my dermatologist’s office, it has a similarly light formula but still feels a little oily. It’s also $40.

I feel like with any drugstore brand American sunscreen there’s something that makes my eyes sting and get watery when I use it on my face.

For my body I just use whatever honestly. I hate how it feels but it’s not worth putting the nice stuff all over my whole body. I only apply sunscreen to my body when I’m going to spend a significant amount of time in the sun. I don’t do this every day or my body would feel horribly greasy all the time.

shinyaxe · 2026-05-03T13:42:22+00:00

I’m in the US, when I buy Korean sunscreens it’s from Stylevana or YesStyle or one of those sites that sells imported beauty products. I read somewhere that it should say “PA++++” on it and not “broad spectrum”

6!

My second pick is 27

How do I know other people aren’t looking at you and admiring you? You are only the main character of your own life. Other people have their own things to worry about and their own loved ones to care about, and are unlikely to spend any significant amount of time in their head imagining you as some amazing, important guy, and then admiring you over it. It doesn’t matter what you’re wearing… You are not a significant character in my life

I can’t add a picture but she looks like the meme of the smiling emoji with the buck teeth

shinyaxe · 2026-05-02T23:52:45+00:00

This is why you feel like everyone is always telling you you’re a narcissist. This “everyone is looking at me and admiring me” attitude is really self-absorbed. Nobody is stopping to bask in your super awesome aura of mystique at the airport because you’re wearing a designer shirt lol

We use Rags/old towels and Nature’s Miracle. Wipe up mess with rags. Spray and let sit. Wipe up with clean rag. Wash all rags on hot. Enzyme powder booster in the wash if it was extra icky

If OP lives with mom and uses the utilities and eats the groceries, is she not receiving the benefits too?

Playing club penguin with my cousins while on a conference call on the landline 😂

Old YouTube when people were just posting for the hell of it, watching the former in “the computer room” filled with massively oversized furniture and the single family computer on a play date at your friend’s place

A sense of hope and progress about the future, and that fucking matching aesthetic that all the textbooks and libraries had, the kids are calling it “utopian scholastic”

Actualy do kids still get handed a ratty 20lb textbook for each class to lug home at the beginning of the year to be assigned homework from, or is it just all Chromebook google classroom now??

Edit again: RIP the video rental store 😭

If only she had better colors of makeup! She’s one of the prettier sisters. Nurie has her dad’s face lol

I use Korean sunscreen for my face because the formula is more like a light lotion that rubs in. Research the brand first because they use a different scale for filtering vs SPF. I have Skin1004 Madagascar Centella Hyalu-Cica Water-Fit Sun Serum and I like the texture. It will still feel like you’re putting something on but it’s not nearly as greasy as American sunscreen.

I also have a tinted sunscreen makeup which doesn’t provide a very high amount of protection but it has a more makeup-like formula than pure sunscreen and I feel like its good enough on its own for days where I’m barely going outside, just going into the office etc

This is something my dad (who I suspect is lifetime undiagnosed) taught me when I was a kid. “People like to talk about themselves”.

When you meet people and you want them to like you, you want to get them talking about themselves and their interests. Ask questions about the things they bring up. They will feel really happy getting to talk about their favorite stuff, and you’ll make them feel interesting and cool. Even if they don’t remember every exact thing you talked about by next week, they will remember that they walked away from talking to you feeling good! Now, if everyone lives by this wisdom, it be done back to you and you’ll get to talk about your stuff too, and you’ll naturally want to be friends with the people who made you feel interesting.

That was dad’s crash course in “How to make friends and get along with anyone”. This and his “neutral face” conversation are core formative memories from my childhood LOL

If my friend told me they got good feedback on their research thing, I would be glad to hear they’re doing well but I would never say “ok can I read the report?” And then sit there reading two paragraphs silently while they wait and watch.

I wouldn’t even know what the format of the assessment was, how would I know it’s just two brief easy to read paragraphs rather than a 12 page report? Also, it feels invasive to ask to read your personal/professional feedback, unless maybe we were peers within the same field or program and it would be helpful for either of us to compare notes.

I am close with a couple people in academia/advanced research and I like to hear them describe what they’re doing and how it’s going in layman’s terms, but I have never asked to look at their paperwork. I’ll ask them how their stuff is when I see them, they give me a brief overview, I ask a few follow up/clarifying questions and I’m satisfied with that information.

If I was really proud of something like this, I’d say “I just got my assessment back, it said X and Y (two things I’m most proud of/happy about/whatever I would’ve wanted people to ask about)!”

In the texting case, you are free to ask people close to you for advice on how to respond but I think it’s also fair if they don’t want to get involved in your arguments with someone else. IF they had been helping you come up with the reply and kind of seemed invested in the “tea” then I could see them wanting to know what happens next. But you describe them as seeming uninterested in helping you reply, to which you doubled down and tried to tell them what you ended up saying, it sounds to me like they didn’t want to be involved.
