If an avocado rots, it'll look okay from the outside but the inside will be spoiled. Sometimes when this happens the pit will turn into mush, too. If you cut into one and aren't expecting it, you'll slice right through and into your hand. This is how most avocado-related injuries happen

I thought one of the major trope differences between yaoi and regular gay porn is that yaoi is rapey as gently caress

like, I think it was Pick that described it as "like an old-fashioned romance novel except the lady is also a dude"

much like old-timey romance novels, it really runs the gamut. the important thing is it is ALL INSANE and incredibly hyperbolic. i'd say most of them i encountered didn't have any rape they were just mega wildly stupid

Gay porn being a "distancer" for straight women is a pretty common hypothesis (I think Pick was the one who claimed it was very popular at Catholic school for this reason) but it's always seemed likely to me that guys liking girl/girl porn is more of a voyeuristic thing

not only was it incredibly popular at catholic schools but the girls would roleplay it (with their clothes on but yea). not when boys were around though because boys are sinful :argh:

Here's a link to a real medical journal article about "avocado hand." It does contain gory pics of hand injuries and surgeries so DON'T CLICK IF YOU DON'T WANT TO SEE THAT.

http://imj.ie/the-avocado-hand/

quote:

Accidental self-inflicted knife injuries to digits are a common cause of tendon and nerve injury requiring hand surgery. There has been an apparent increase in avocado related hand injuries. Classically, the patients hold the avocado in their non-dominant hand while using a knife to cut/peel the fruit with their dominant hand. The mechanism of injury is usually a stabbing injury to the non-dominant hand as the knife slips past the stone, through the soft avocado fruit. Despite their apparent increased incidence, we could not find any cases in the literature which describe the �avocado hand�. We present a case of a 32-year-old woman who sustained a significant hand injury while preparing an avocado. She required exploration and repair of a digital nerve under regional anaesthesia and has since made a full recovery.

My (22F) boyfriend (29M) keeps �fake proposing�

quote:

Basically as the title states; my boyfriend and I are in a decently new relationship (>5 months) and he keeps fake proposing. Our relationship is amazing - and i do think we�re very much in love. He�s done it three times in the last month. He�ll start kneeling during intimate moments and honestly I�m not sure if it bothers me THAT much or if it�s a red flag but am a bit concerned. I told him to not do it because it does give me a little anxiety but in a playful manner but he continues to do it. Anyone else have this experience or any input on why he does this??

TL;DR boyfriend keeps fake proposing - not sure if this is a concern / red flag or if it�s just cute and I�m just being anxious about it

He (40M) won't make me (31F) his official GF because we work together. It's been 5 months.... Does this logic make sense? (self.dating)

quote:

Hi reddit! I met the guy I'm "dating" at work and we've been in our little relationship for close to 5 months now. About 10 years ago, he dated a girl he worked with and it ended horribly where she came after him and tried to get him fired so he moved across the country and relocated positions to get away and start fresh.

Fast forward to today, we talk every single day via text aside from seeing each other at work and we hang out on the weekends. I've met all his friends and his family knows about me, but haven't met them. He's even given me a key to his place! No one at work has any idea we are dating but he's expressed concern that the only reason why he hasn't "locked me down" is because we work together and he doesn't want to to screw up his job again by being in a relationship with someone he works with.... I don't know if the concern is that other people will find out and ruin his/our professional reputation, or if he's worried about it ending badly like his last experience, or maybe both?

He tells me all the time how great I am and how he loves how all his friends love me. Without me even saying anything or pushing the commitment talk, all of his friends are like "dude you have to marry this girl one day" and like "if you don't lock her down you're going to lose her"... I mean could us working together really be that big of a deal? I personally don't think it's an issue, especially the way we've handled it so far. Is this something you think will take time for him to come around to, or should I not wait around and count on that?

The thing is I COMPLETELY understand where he's coming from but I also think it's unfair that I'm sitting here waiting for him to make up his mind about me over something that's not even my fault. I've expressed this to him several times, and have said that we can't keep doing what we're doing then, if that's how he really feels. When it gets to that point in the discussion, he immediately wants to drop the discussion and not end things between us so he's like you know what, "we'll figure it out, we'll figure it out." But yet, there has not been a sit-down conversation clarifying where we're headed. I want to keep things fun and light, and I hate to be the girl that pushes commitment, but I don't want to be in a half-relationship.

What do I do ? Should I pull away and see if he wants to commit after seeing me put in less effort or should I have yet another talk with him? If you were in his shoes, what would work to make YOU come around? I appreciate your advice everyone!

My husband [34/M] doesn't do housework and was mad at me [33/F] this morning for not doing his laundry

quote:

My husband and I have been together for 10 years. In that time, I would say he has done laundry possibly 5 times. He has perhaps cleaned a toilet once after being asked and does dishes rarely. He will occasionally clean by picking up around the house, but will never spray or wipe down a counter, for instance. I would say I do more than 90% of the housework.

We both work full time � however my husband makes over double what I do. My job is very physical and I am on my feet most of the time. I am also in school right now. My husband has a very mentally demanding job, and works a ton often after coming home so he occasionally will work literally 15 hours in one day. His commute is also a lot harder than mine.

I've tried talking to him about housework and I've tried making lists. I don't think he realizes how exhausting being responsible for all the laundry and housework is, and both of us having depression does not help. He has stated to me the reason he does not clean is because his threshold is higher than mine for having a dirty house. Let's talk about that threshold. I try to keep up during the week but I generally can't. Garbage overflows, dishes pile up until we have absolutely none left, and the bathroom goes several months without cleaning to the point it's lined with mildew. I have never, ever seen him clean a shower, by the way. I simply cannot keep up with everything by myself. When I finally do clean, the process takes hours and multiple days.

The laundry builds up until we have no underwear left. I've asked him so many times to help with laundry! I've even gotten to the point of asking him, hey just throw your laundry down the basement stairs and I'll do it. The other night he was complaining about laundry and having no underwear left � he mentioned he threw laundry downstairs. I went downstairs to grab it and realized throwing laundry down meant he threw only one pair of underwear down. I was exhausted, already in the basement, and didn't want to go up two flights to grab the rest of it when I've asked him repeatedly to do laundry and even tried to make it easy by asking him to simply throw it down the stairs. Just help me out. I will admit it was lovely of me to not just go up to grab more of his underwear and partially I silently refused to do this out of spite.

And that brings me to the big fight we had this morning. He woke me up at 8am in a complete rage (I work late nights and this is way early for me) by slamming drawers and yelling. He had no underwear or t-shirts left because I hadn't done the laundry. He was extremely mad, and obviously I did not respond well having been woken up 3 hours early. He proceeded to slam doors and scream downstairs about how since I do whatever I want, he is going to do anything he wants now, like turn the temperature up to 78 (I've asked him not to do this due to our heat bill). I couldn't hear what else he was yelling about because I began to cry in frustration.

Right now is not a good time for me. I am under an unbelievable amount of stress due to other things going on and he has known for days that he is low or out of underwear. Yet it is apparently my sole responsibility to do all the laundry and I get 100% of the blame for it. He was yelling about how I do my own laundry and basically have no decency to include his. Which is ridiculous� because I DO do his laundry. All of it. Last time I did a load of laundry I just did not do enough of his.

My heart absolutely sunk this morning. Hiring someone is not feasible as we are already trying to pay off massive amounts of debt. I don't think he understands the toll that working full time, being in school, and being responsible for all of the laundry and housework is taking on me. I'll let it go for weeks because I simply cannot deal with the burden. I don't know what to do. I don't feel appreciated at all for everything I do because I don't think he understands how difficult it is. He absolutely thanks me occasionally for cleaning or for doing laundry so its not like he is completely ignoring it.

I wish I could be better at keeping up with everything and if I were less stressed, tired, and depression didn't kick my rear end then I would do more. My mind does somersaults � I went through so many emotions this morning. I hated myself because I hadn't kept up with his laundry, I felt guilty and responsible, I was angry because he could do laundry but refuses to help, and in the end I somersault into a feeling of absolute worthlessness.

Let me just say this � in ten years my husband has rarely ever yelled at me. I think he was just frustrated about not having clean laundry because yeah, that sucks rear end, so he took it out on me and it just boiled out of him. He absolutely loves me and I know deep inside he intends to help more. Not helping with laundry is not completely from laziness � he is tired too and I think it causes him anxiety because he is concerned he isn't doing it right.

However, I don't know how to handle the fight we had this morning. I want to apologize to him but at the same time I feel like I need to stand my ground. Emotionally, I can't deal with the negative impact of him being mad at me. I am so conflicted. I feel awful that he had no underwear this morning, while I do have clean underwear � all I had to do was go upstairs and grab it. But at the same time� I'm tired. How do I get him to help more? But more importantly, how do I get him to understand my side?

TLDR: I do 90%+ of the cleaning. Did not wash enough of my husband's underwear so he flew into a rage this morning. Feelings of worthlessness ensue.

They're all that one anime.

But this is the hyper depressing one about cute boys who are also wolves who get picked off one by one in their attempt to escape a despotic government made up of the people who were considered too lovely and gauche to be allowed to leave earth. This description I just gave of the show is roughly several hundred times more interesting than the actual show.

It's just laundry. It takes maybe 3 minutes to do if you have the machines on site.

As long as she made it clear to him he needs to do his laundry this time, then it's his own drat fault. I have been doing 15 hour days for 6 months and the only peace and fun time I get 6/7 days of the week is laundry/chores/gym and posting dumb crap here. Cleaning is super relaxing if your brain is tapped from your day. I get annoyed and feel bad when my SO cleans if it's my mess or I haven't been cleaning as much.

GF(37) of three years totally ghosted me. Having a lot of trouble moving on (self.relationship_advice)

quote:

Just looking for advice I guess. She cut off all contact and never told me why. Our last communications ended with I love you and all that. I was never told that she wasn't happy with me. After a week of not hearing from her I went to her house and her daughter saw me through the window and I could hear her saying mommy mommy Phil is here...no answer when I knocked. I knocked for ten minutes before I left...i didn't wanna make things weird ..ans she obviously wasn't answering.

Since then I've tried to contact her quite a lot..its been two months. With no response at all. I have left wall posts on FB and she deletes them but the weird part is she doesn't unfriend me.

I have no closure because i have no idea what went wrong...she never broke up with me. She just ghosted. I'm tempted and have been tempted to go to her place and force a face to face. I feel like I'm owed an explanation . ..as far as I knew we were ok. 😔 but i don't want to cause a scene etc. just hurts tremendously and is really affecting my mental health.

What can I do?

The sad part is I just wish so much to have her back in my life. even after she has treated me like I don't matter at all....Why would someone drop from a long term relationship with literally no explanation?

Two bins and hangers is my strategy. I also tend to fold pants and things I don't wear regularly. Bin A is work underwear/undershirts/socks and Bin B is weekend/gym clothes. I fold and put away things I don't wear weekly and once every year or three I tear through my stuff and donate lots of it.

Stop stalking and harassing her, recognize she's a piece of poo poo just like you or afraid of you, and then refuse to allow yourself to think about, mention, or contact her? How hard is that?

Nah it doesn't sound like she gave him an affirmative and dude super deserves it for being such a lazy rear end about housework.

I'll admit I was the one with the "higher threshold" of filth for years, but after my wife went back to work and I had no choice but to pick up (more than) half of the housework and child care I now realize that is a total cop out that is largely used by men to get out of sharing the load.
