“i want a strong, independent woman” until they marry, then you cant be independent anymore lol. autonomy and having no one depending on you is just a luxury you sacrifice for a family at some point.

right? all anyone really wants is that we all practice safe pizza consumption. like meeting up with a blind date, let ppl know where youre going and wash your hands and check the bottom of the pizza for bugs. things everyone should do go practice safe pizza habits.

i like to get 2 smalls for myself to try different flavors. like a mini appetizer platter, especially at new pizza places

I dont know if its ever so black and white as either of your opinions. I have a friend who’s bf was super friendly in the beginning but grew up in an abusive family and he responds to any and all criticism or arguments or disagreements with aggressive defensiveness. hes a friendly enough person in any other situation but ive seen the way his family treats him and his response is clearly influenced.

that said.. my friend is rather soft spoken and her concerns are completely run over whenever she brings them up because this guy is so overwhelmingly defensive its unreasonable.

its a nuanced situation. to your opinion youd be right looking at how he defends himself in his family situation as it is totally how this guy copes with criticism.

but on the other side he knows his knee jerk reaction and theyre in therapy to work on better ways to communicate. its not an insurmountable situation. everyone has the opportunity to grow if they so choose.

you can go to the doctor and they can flush your ear. its both incredibly refreshing and violating at the same time but its worth it.

and then just like flush your ears with diluted hydrogen peroxide once every few weeks to keep them fairly cleaned out.

i have to do that because i also have waxy ears. mine is softer and seems to compact a fair amount though. your results may vary

how is this that much different from what OP recommended? you’re both basically saying to sit back down. Besides, if you go to squat on the floor and pass out, you’re basically on the floor anyways.

the only gripe i have is many ppl probably cant just squat because we’re fat or old or both, in which case your recommendation would be superior.

okay webmd

its certainly abnormal. that said, i have a coworker that married his middle school girlfriend and hes in his mid 40’s now.

honestly its wild talkin to him. it’s like he lives in a different universe from the rest of us. it’s like being emotionally wealthy and never knowing what its like to not be set emotionally.

sooo maybe not a way to actually groww taller… i would recommend you learn a language for a country where the average height is shorter than you. you’re at that age where you could totally be fluent in a language by the time you’re graduating college.

then you can move to that country and be “tall”. Mexico, asian countries, maybe some european countries but i’m not sure.

you could have a career as a translator or something.

i love cats but also theres rabies and infections if you get clawed by poopy claws.

i still love my cat but if she scratches or bites it always draws blood. high stakes cuddles
