Jesus. Three quarters of my family is gay, and I'm non binary, and despite my incredible anxiety about coming out about my gender identity everyone has been super supportive, and reading about people's homophobic families fills me with weird guilt because why the hell do I deserve any of this. LookListen posted:This why you start by scritching their chest, because they have bones there so it's not as squishy and vulnerable and it's an easy switch from under the chin, and then you move down towards the belly until they roll over or give you a warning shot. Do that every time and eventually you earn the free pass to skip that and go directly in for it every time! This is indeed the trick to petting cat bellies, or at least finding out if the cat in question is comfortable with it.

feedmegin posted:Yeah, uh...Irish people, famous for not talking?! Theyve got a whole stone about it and everything. Yes, this is why the Irish goodbye exists. There are many people who will just not accept that you won't have 'just one more drink' or that you actually have somewhere else to be (especially if it's just home or bed). When there's more than one of these people at the party you're trying to escape from, oftentimes the easiest solution is to just leave out the back door or through a window or something like that.

love is not something to worry about whether or not you deserve it, it is something to be relished, to be indulged in and enjoyed for as much as you can, to be drunk deeply and fully while you have it, as its presence will nourish and sustain you and create more love within you that you can then sustain others with there is no deserving or not with love, there just is or isn't. if you have it, treasure it now, as it's a transient thing, it moves and has its own shape, and if you want it to stick around you have to tend it and raise it up

Cowslips Warren posted:AITA for gifting my boyfriend things I got for free/made myself and not something with my own money? Gifts you seond money on are the only real gifts. It cost me money to make the candles, doesn't that count? Of course it doesn't because you didn't buy the candles from a store. Your Switch was free so I guess that also isn't a real gift. Now hold on now, let's not get hasty. The Switch is a real gift even though you didn't spend money on it because Those candles are an awesome gift and this dude is a selfish, self-centered child. Its only been 10 months so she should make a special breakup candle that smells like human poo poo and burnt hair that she lights and hides in his house before leaving.

My father decided one way to scare the gay out of me was to inform me that homosexual men that have anal sex for too long eventually lose all muscle control in their assholes and therefore have to wear buttplugs for the rest of their lives. To this day I don't know if he was that loving stupid or he thought I was that loving stupid.

I remember reading about the Hillside Stranglers, and before they were killing women, they had enslaved two and kept them as forced prostitutes. And one of them was raped and abused so badly by Angelo Bueno that he tore her sphincter muscles. The book I read was very clear that it was because he raped her so violently so many times, not because it was anal sex. She had to use tampons to not make a mess to avoid more beatings.. Kinda odd how the book was specific on that. But it's like the idea that sex with too many men will make a woman's vagina loose, but sex with one man many times won't. AITA for using human utensils for dog food quote:Throw away account because my bf loves this subreddit. I wonder if the same logic applies to blowjobs. No honey, I won't kiss you anymore, even after you wash your face, because my dick was in your mouth.

so how long until the kid realizes that if his punishment is to be locked out then he might as well just stay out all night or sleep at a friend's house lol (it already happened)

I think the insane part is mom being mad at the kid for ruining Christmas because he wasn't allowed back into the house and got no sleep because of this. You did this to yourself, lady. I remember a coworker telling me about her fourteen year old son who snuck out to visit his girlfriend and got locked out. He called and knocked for close to an hour, in below freezing temperatures, before someone woke up and let him in, just as he was debating whether or not he could sleep in the family car for the night. My coworker took the view of "well, he's already learned why this was a dumb thing to do, not sure how much more I can punish him."

As for the other post, reap, sow, etc. loving hell, the OP should have let him in, told him off in private, sent his rear end to bed, and grounded him.

The OP on their main account started aggressively arguing with anyone calling her an rear end in a top hat using some absolutely insane slippery slope arguments. Judging by the account name, the tiniest silver lining is that I'm pretty sure the OP is a Kiwi, so it was at least summer when she locked her child out of the house overnight in December. Still absolutely loving appalling behavior though.

I've been thinking about hasty military marriages, the ones where you mostly get married for the pay bump and ability to live outside the barracks. Is the extra pay countered by the future alimony? You get the $2000 extra dollars a month or w/e for a few years but then you lose half of everything in the divorce and have to make monthly alimony payments. From what I have looked up it seems you will probably be paying like 20-25% or more of your total income in alimony for a period of around the same length as the marriage (unless you actually stay married for a long time, but we aren't really talking about those marriages). According to a marine salary calculator I found, the average marine after 10 years of service will be paying like $1500/month in alimony. So like, most of that extra money ends up going to your ex in the end.

This is a loving romcom, now WHICH ONE IS IT. It really is hilarious the more I think of the years when people screamed about how gay marriage would ruin the "purity of marriage" and meanwhile straight people were marrying for all kinds of benefits and not for the purity of marriage.

My gf doesn't want me to talk about experiments and unnornal thoughtsquote:My 32 mind is the one of a scientist (INTJ) and I experiment and try out certain things. If I learn something interesting, I try to learn everything about that information and go deep with my knowledge. My gf 29 (ISFJ) tells me to be normal all the time and hates it when I tell her about my thoughts on business ideas and experiments. Anyway the plan is for to you to burst into the lube section of Walmart and loudly exclaim "WHERE IS THE LUBE WITH THAT REAL SICHUAN PEPPER TINGLE??". Meanwhile some other friends will pretend to be browsing nearby and agree that none of these lubes meet our needs. That's when I appear and offer free samples to everyone of my pepper lube and you all talk about how great it is. The GM will be so pressured by the spontaneous show of interest he'll have no choice but to sign the distribution contract I'll have prepared!
