No, you're condescendingly claiming it's a required element of standard hygiene, like anyone who doesn't have an equally ludicrous routine is a filthbeast who doesn't care about their appearance. I'm telling you that level of elaborateness isn't necessary to be clean or to have good hair. If you're being honest about your dryness, I seriously think you should talk to your doctor or at least look at your diet. I'm on a drug that dries out your body beyond belief, like I have basically zero natural oils anymore, and conditioning for 3 minutes once or twice a week is still more than enough for glossy, smooth hair.

Man, I think a goon posted about his experience 'dating' a RHPS gal (I think it was on the front page?). She finally got him to go to a show, he had a lousy time, and after he met her other RHPS friends.

One started laughing or something when the guy said she was his girlfriend, and this poor sucker then saw the 'going away' present she gave to another cast member, and it was a framed nude photo of herself with a buttplug shaped like the RHPS lips.

[NYC] roommate moved and left urine bottles. How do I legally dispose of them without dumping them down the toilet? (self.legaladvice)
submitted 9 hours ago by Peebottlethrower

So I live in NYC with 4 other guys. I'm not on the lease and the guy who is will be away for a few days. It's a duplex and I live on the bottom floor.
I got an old friend a place to live because he was going through some problems at home and he lived downstairs with me. He recently moved back to his dad's place recently, and I offered to clean his room since the guy who owns the place will be away. The problem is that he left about 30-40 bottles of urine in his room. We have one upstairs bathroom and he was a bit shy and reclusive. I want to bag his urine bottles and dispose of them, but I don't want the super to find a bag of urine bottles. I also don't want to take then upstairs and dump them in the toilet, as that would arouse the suspicions of my upstairs roommate who is home and would reflect poorly on me. There is no visible blood, but some of the urine is so old, that it has turned black and murky. Can I just leave the bags at a dump or a landfill? Can I just take them to a dumpster or recycling center for disposal? Is this a biohazard? How can I legally dump this stuff in the NYC area?

At my peak I used up to 7 products in my hair per shower and my hair looked loving amazing. (It just got too expensive.) The more conditioner you add in, the softer and glossier your hair gets. Plus, different conditioners do different things. I have a restorative conditioner and a curling conditioner that I use every time I shower. I also occasionally use an anti-dandruff co-wash. 3 minutes per conditioner, that's 9 minutes. I'll use a mask 3 times a week, 5 minutes per application. That's in addition to a couple of shampoos that have to be on my scalp for at least a minute. My hair is very dry and brittle without a conditioner routine like this, for what it's worth.

My routine isn't even that intensive! I go for the middle of the range listed on the bottle (2 - 5 minutes per application) - I could easily spend a half hour or more in the shower just on my hair if I was inclined to put in the extra work.

Legally pizza is a vegetable so gently caress you mom

My [22F] boyfriend's [23M] mom is angry about my instagram posts.

quote:

Strap in for this whirlwind of craziness. I have been seeing my boyfriend for around 3 months, and he lives at home still so I have spent a considerable amount of time with his parents. The parents and I have got along just fine (or so I thought) to where I was having dinner with them 3+ nights a week.

I had never had any reason to believe they did not like me, as we have had long conversations and spent time together playing cards, watching sports, etc. Out of nowhere, my boyfriend let me know that his mom found my (very G rated) Instagram posts to be demonic and satanic. I had 26 pictures posted total, most of which were of my cat and or cute baby animals. An instagram a three year old would enjoy. Apparently she finds certain animals to be "evil." Like bats for example, which I love. She went so far as to say she "would not have that in her family." I was absolutley shocked to find out about her disgust with my posts and now I do not want to go over to my boyfriend's house and see her.

I felt so bad about my Instagram that I even deleted it to make her happy. I was embarrassed and ashamed of who I was for a moment, which is definitely not okay. I feel even worse that my boyfriend is caught up in the middle of this, as she is yelling at him for it.

I have no idea how to proceed with this, as my feelings are very hurt and I feel the things she said were undeserved. I am afraid to go over to his house because it is incredibly awkward now. How should I proceed?

tl;dr: My boyfriends mom is upset over my G-rated Instagram posts because of her religious beliefs about certain animals and has hurt my feelings/ made me feel bad about who I am. How should I proceed?

Me [25F] with my childhood singing teacher [60M], how do I tell him he crossed the line and I no longer want to see him or speak to him?Non-Romantic (self.relationships)

quote:

"Tom" was my singing teacher from age 4 to 14. He ran a sort of music school that put on musicals and talent shows. He was a huge part of my childhood, and I definitely wouldn't be where I am today without that school.

Tom moved across the country when I was 14, and I didn't hear from him until I went to college. It should be said that during the first few years after he left, my mom got phone calls from 3 moms asking if Tom was safe to leave their kids with (my mom was one of his references). We just assumed these were careful parents checking up on their kids new teacher.

Fast forward a few years: I moved away to college to study singing. When I was 18, Tom and I happened to be visiting my hometown during the same weekend. I ran into him at my old music school, and I asked him to listen and critique an audition song I had been working on. He did. I later got an email from him explaining that he had been offered a touring gig, and he needed a female singer. He wanted me to drop school and tour the world with him for a year. I was flattered, but turned it down. I don't remember feeling necessarily creeped out yet, but I did think it was a little odd... he didn't have any females his age he could ask?

He started writing to me about once a week. I would get messages from him at 1 in the morning when I was awake doing homework. He would say things like "what are you doing up so late, hun?" or "have a late night?" He would also send me funny pictures and videos he found randomly. I thought it was weird.. mostly because we had never had a "friend" relationship. It had always been professional. I responded with one word answers. The messages got more frequent and more personal: "hows your love life?" "I hope the guy you're dating it treating you well." "We should grab coffee next time we're in town at the same time."

I eventually got into a serious relationship, and the messages stopped. When that relationship ended after 2 years, I got a message from him asking about the breakup. I had never posted about the breakup, or told many people yet when I got the message. How did he know??? The messages started back up again: "I hope you have someone special to spend New Years with" "I'm always here to talk when you get lonely." Again, I was giving him short answers, and sometimes just completely ignoring him.

I ended up getting into a show in my hometown, and he sent me a message the night before opening saying that he was going to make a trip to see my show that weekend. I didn't get the message until hours before opening. I spoke to some women in the show with me about him, and all of them said he was very creepy and had always rubbed them the wrong way. When he came to the show, he asked the House Manager to tell me he was there. At the start of the show I entered the stage through the lobby, and HE WAS THERE. The show had already started, and he was just there waiting for me. I pretended to be in character, and told him to "gently caress off" in character. He laughed, but then left at intermission.

I ended up deleting him from social media, and I ignored all further messages. After a month, he emailed my mom asking why I had stopped talking to him, and if she could speak to me for him. She, very politely, told him that his "special trip" to see my show had made me very uncomfortable, and that I would rather our relationship to be strictly professional. That was a year ago. He has sent me maybe 5 messages since then trying to get me to talk to him.

And now he has moved back to my hometown. It's a small town, and there is no way for me to avoid him. He has already shown up to a rehearsal for a show I'm working on, and attends all theatre and music shows, like me. I ran into him today at a restaurant, and he asked to speak to me privately because he didn't know what he had done wrong. I told him I was in a hurry, and walked off.

So I want to be prepared next time I see him. What do I say? I feel that if he doesn't already know why I don't want him around me, then he has a whole other problem. He is a 60 year old hitting on a 24 year old who has, not once in 6 years, given him a reason to think I like his advances. Do I need to just tell him "You make me uncomfortable, please don't talk to me again." or should I ignore him? Or should I be harsher than that?

Any advice is appreciated

When I heard about 'spends too long in the shower' I was expecting an hour minimum, which comes up with most of the insane shower length stories on Google. I recall hearing about a woman who showered so long she took breaks from it, in the middle of leaving the water running for 3 hours or something. 20 minutes is nothing.

20 is kinda long particularly if you're in a living situation where everyone is getting up at the same time and that means you're hogging the bathroom for half an hour during peak times.

But that op said they have multiple bathrooms and it's about the water bill which is just kinda ridiculous.

It's only cheap in many parts of the US because it's heavily subsidized. Water in Arizona, Nevada, and California should cost more than its volume in petrol. Maybe if it did people would conserve a bit.

Also some places just have a lovely water supply. Like in Israel, things would get pretty bad once in a while until they got desalination going properly somewhere in the 2000's, iirc.

In college I lived in a 4 person apartment with 1 bathroom, like not even a secondary sink/toilet, and I had a roommate that took super long showers and did whatever in there afterwords for like another 20 minutes, and so he took up the bathroom for like a full hour every morning right before classes. I showered at night at the time, so that wasn't an issue, but like I couldn't even take a leak or brush my teeth in the morning before I had to leave with him there. I straight up got into a routine where I'd brush my teeth in the kitchen and leave early to hit a campus bathroom on my way to classes.

Before you ask I did try to wake up early but after a couple of days of beating him to the bathroom he just seemed to switch his schedule around, it was uncanny to the point where I was questioning if he'd hear my alarm, rush to the bathroom, and lock himself in there until I had to leave.

I had a roommate in grad school that knew I tutored at 9 am every T/Th. Without fail she'd be in the shower when I needed to get ready to go even though she didn't have to be up early for anything (didn't work, out classes were all in the afternoon).

And even though the bathroom was big and the toilet/sink wasn't close to the shower, she'd get snippy as gently caress if I came in to use the can or brush my teeth. If she'd say something about it, my answer was always 'you know I tutor these mornings, tough titties, get in the shower fifteen minutes later'

In California it's because we have a huge agricultural sector. A few years back there was a huge effort to get residential areas to cut back and go to desert/fake lawns despite towns and cities accounting for less than 10% of the water usage. God forbid agribusiness be forced to fix some leaky pipes or poo poo.

Every day i see my neighbor's bees flying around my garden stealing the pollen or nectar from my flowers. Then the bees go back to my neighbor and creates honey. My neighbor then harvests the honey and sells it at the farmers market for profit. I have never recieved so much as a jar of honey as compensation and everyday my neighbors bees trespass and steal my flowers. I was stung once when I was a child, so i know how dangerous bees can be.
The way i see it, this is equivalent to a persons dog coming into my yard to steal balls or tools then gives it back to his owner who then sells it for profit.
Do i have legal ground to sue? What type of things should I begin documenting in order to prepare for a legal battle? What would be a fair settlement amount if my neighbor doesnt want to take this to court? Thanks for the help.

this is a great one
