I ate too many cheese biscuits for dinner and nowy tummy is kinda upset so I don’t want to have a full Sunday brekkie despite looking forward to it all week. :(

Yep, threatened to commit suicide and everything. When I started dating again he found my new SO’s social media and said if he kept dating me he would fight him. Thankfully the new SO was a reasonable person and just answered “I don’t want to fight you so I’m just going to call the cops.”

And she thinks it’s endearing when the main character touches her face to wipe it away, despite not knowing him, or inviting him to touch her. She has no boundaries.

Very true. One of my pet peeves is reading about female characters who, unlike other women, don’t wear makeup and spend all their time doing nerdy hobbies only and never do anything at all to take care of their appearance because that’s a waste of time… But their hair is always shiny and bouncy and they are fit and their skin is smoooooth and their boobs are perky (of course they are!) and, most importantly, they always fall for the main character for absolutely no good reason.

I loved it at the time too! But you’re the first other person I’ve seen praise it.

I’ve gone back to replay it a couple of times and, yep, still love it. The story has its flaws but that’s final fantasy for you.

Jim Carrey anytime he does comedy.

Cotton pickin’ seems… Problematic.

This is less of a specific good and more of a trend, but middle class people are more likely to buy bulk goods. Lower classes often don’t have the means to do so (space to store it and money to buy it, or access to places that sell in bulk) and higher classes simply don’t need to, or they buy luxury items that wouldn’t be sold in bulk.

Similarly, middle class people are less likely to shop at places with high markups, such as convenience stores.

The times when people shop would also see trends, with lower and higher classes doing more shopping midday on a Tuesday and middle class working people with average 9-5 office jobs being unable to do so.

Yes, you are the odd one. Ads are literally designed to be difficult to ignore.

Therapy is also supposed to be confidential but exceptions are made when someone is in danger.

There’s another possible scenario of a child making the confession because they’re feeling guilty about the sexual act despite being a victim.

The Realm of the Elderlings series. All books. Most characters.

I’m still addicted to the books though.

I, too, would like to know. Asking for Bad Jojo.

I’m Ontario that isn’t legal.

It is what it is.

I’m a woman and my first IUD insertion really didn’t hurt me very much. Uncomfortable, but quick and not too bad.

But when my friends complained about the pain during theirs, I believed them. Because we are all different people with wildly different bodies. I have empathy.

It’s not a difficult concept, but I think a lot of people struggle with it. “It was fine for me so anyone who complaints is making it up!”

Anyway, when I went to get my IUD replaced, the second insertion was absolute hell, so now I really get it. But I didn’t need to go through it myself to believe people when they say they experience pain. There’s so much evidence out there indicating that women experience pain. Is it really so hard to just believe the evidence?

Where in the world is Carmen Sandiego. Played it as a child together with my mom. She had all the worldly knowledge, but at the time I was the only one who could speak/understand English, so teamwork was key. That game meant hours of educational fun for the both of us.

I bet they’ll do this to the ones who have a chance of beating American athletes.

I struggle so much with this. People were already bad at reading emails and following instructions (e.g. ask them to answer 4 questions which I have helpfully listed below, in bold, and they answer the first one and call it a day) but now they just let the a.i. handle it. So instead of not getting answers, I get incorrect and unreviewed answers that just sound like they might be right.

Then of course when I do the work, and it turns out to be completely useless because it was based on bad information, and it needs to be completely redone. That means wasted hours of time and productivity for me with nothing to show for it. All because someone else wanted to save 5 minutes.

Depends on context and the skill in question. For example, in my office, good at technology means you know how to submit a ticket to IT and you don’t have a panic attack if someone mentions excel.
