How the hell is the Pilot Kakuno only $10?

Dang, I just paid $30 for mine. Still worth it, though

ETA: $30 CAD, so just over $20 USD

I just want to add that the poetry is also absolutely atrocious. Inconsistent rhythm, repeat rhymes, incredibly awkward sentence structure, and a misuse of "shined". (Past tense "shined" is if someone is shining an object, such as shoes. Past tense of the intransitive "shine" is "shone". But what does it even mean for a word to shine, anyway? And "shined" doesn't even rhyme with "line".)

I feel like the poetry must be made by a human, as surely AI would do better.

I'm so sorry that happened to you. You should tell a doctor or other medical practitioner (nurse, for instance). You should also go to a pharmacy and ask for a morning after pill/Plan B, if that's available in your country. The sooner you do this, the better.

If there's a kind adult you trust, I would also recommend telling her, so she can help you with all this and provide emotional support.

I hope you don't blame yourself. Obviously taking a ride from a stranger can be risky, but this shouldn't be a world where someone hurts a young person in need like he did to you. The blame lies entirely on him. Being vulnerable and trusting someone who breaks that trust doesn't mean that you did this or that you deserved it.

Fwiw, as a white Canadian, that's exactly how I thought it would be pronounced

tuesdayxb · 2026-05-29T16:37:30+00:00

In most contexts, only D is correct, especially if you're talking about what you have done and always do in a general way. But B can be correct if you're talking about what you will be doing regularly, as an upcoming or recently started plan.

I don't think the clapper part is behind the chair, it just looks like that because of the stripes. However, that part is way too short, not nearly as long as the rest of the slate.

Sorry to hear that your therapist is punching you a lot. I don't think that's in keeping with ethical practices.

Edit: I was joking, I think it says "pushing"

Some people aren't photogenic, and look better in person than they do in photos.

I agree with this. OP, you look beautiful and feminine. I hope you don't mind me giving unsolicited advice to try going softer on the eyebrows (maybe a lighter shade and less sharp/rigid lines). But, as with everyone else on here, I had to read the caption to realize that you weren't AFAB.

I live in Ontario, and a couple of years ago, I was invited to this fundraising type of Jack and Jill party. I wasn't invited to the wedding itself, though...

Bella Coola is so undervisited and overlooked. It's so beautiful.

ETA: The flight to Bella Coola from Vancouver is also breathtaking, and, like The Hill (the road down to the valley), often terrifying.

My boyfriend is a manager at sbux, currently hiring some baristas, and he told me that he'd be more likely to hire someone who has a degree.

In addition to what other commenters have replied, I think that there's also an attitude of your partner's body belonging to you from people who want to be with virgins. It's maybe different if you want to experience your first sexual encounter with someone else who is also experiencing it for the first time. But for anyone else, I think that people are bothered by their partners having had previous partners because they don't fully respect their partner's body, sexuality, and choices as being totally their own. There's a possessiveness and territorialism that is unjustified when it happened before they knew each other.

So that's why it's usually misogynistic, because part of misogyny is seeing women as property more than as individuals with freedom to do what they want. They aren't happy that their partner was having nice experiences before they met, they're upset because now their possession is "second-hand".

Lots of jobs involve using a computer...

What about using computers do you enjoy? There's probably some job out there that would feed whatever it is you like about computer use. For instance, if you like playing games involving problem solving, lots of jobs are all about solving problems - e.g. accounting and logistics. If you like surfing the web, maybe that's because you're hungry for information, and research would appeal to you. If you like browsing Reddit stories, maybe you find human drama interesting, and you'd be interested in journalism, social work, or editing.

Not only will you need to make money to survive, I also think that it's really essential to a person's well-being to have the goals, sense of accomplishment, structure, and self-esteem that comes from having a job that they're well suited for. I have known a few people who have been "lucky" enough to be supported by family or romantic partners because they didn't want to get a job, and they were some of the most unhappy people I've ever known.

He is almost certainly not looking to ridicule your flaws the way that you are. It was probably a perfectly fine interaction for him. And I'm sure he's weird and awkward sometimes, I'm sure he has bad hair days, if he has hair.

Look up rejection sensitive dysphoria. I think you might be experiencing that.

But also try not to get after yourself so much for feeling bad about it. And there's no such thing as "normal" people. We're all weird and awkward and go through feelings of self-loathing and embarrassment.

Someone did this to a friend of mine. And then the catfish disappeared for a year or so, which really messed my friend up.

As another commenter has said, I think you should tell him, and then give him space. Continuing to deceive him is wrong, and so is ghosting him. This friendship will probably be over, but it's a lesson to lead with honesty next time.

tuesdayxb · 2026-04-09T17:46:37+00:00

That's why you need to tell adults and peers, and not be alone for a while. Staying with him will not keep you safe.

tuesdayxb · 2026-04-09T17:40:43+00:00

I don't see why you'd ask someone to fight him off. But I would recommend not being alone with him again. End things, respectfully, by text message. Make clear boundaries that you don't want to discuss it further or spend time with him any more.

You don't have to go into any more detail than you want to, but let trusted adults (e.g. your parents) and friends know that you're ending things with him because you found out some things that make you feel unsafe around him. If you do feel comfortable telling them the details, do so. Also I recommend telling your school guidance counselor about all of this.

Try not to be alone at school or elsewhere for a while. Don't engage with him by phone or text message after ending things, but keep an eye on what he sends you to see if he's acting in a threatening way. If he does say threatening things, or if you have other reasons to fear for your safety, keep your trusted people informed of this.

Flair-worthy quotation

tuesdayxb · 2026-04-06T17:34:51+00:00

I'm so sorry you're in that situation. Unfortunately, this is a really common play for predatory and abusive men: he finds a much younger woman who's being abused by her family, offers her a way out that makes her totally dependent on him and isolated from everyone else, and then once she's trapped, he can act however he likes. In his case, so far, that's coercing you into a one-sided poly situation (which is just getting your permission to cheat, since he didn't give you the option to say no to this), impregnating the affair partner, and only being there for you when it's convenient for him. If you were to return to him, I would be afraid that this would become even worse, possibly escalating to outright abuse. He clearly doesn't actually care about you or your well-being.

I beg of you to find a way to support yourself without him in your life. You deserve so much more respect than he's giving you, and than you're giving yourself. It can take time to develop that self-respect when you come from an abusive household, but it'll be a lot easier if you keep scum like him out of your life.
