Reply to comment by VG88 in TIFU by being too friendly by Key_Wallaby4604

Ive never had anyone be offended by the words stud or butch. If they have a different term they prefer they are always fine with educating politely and i am more than accommodating. Im not sure that there is any "safe" and all encompasing term for the less girly girl looking lesbians. If there is, would love to know. So just being polite and changing your beat kf corrected is acceptable.

I loved this one couple i knew in washington state. The more preppy one was the "girl" (according to them), the other was more masculine and prefered to be called the "woman" in their relationship. Lol. They were a super cute couple. I liked the idea that being the more masculine, stronger seeming, breadwinner was still getting a feminine descriptor. I hate how male washed relationships have to be for people to feel less uncomfortable with them.

The onlything I can figure is that you were talking about kids and jumped to honeymoon, so they thought you were a creep thinking about their sex life.

I personally dont ask about someones honeymoon unless I know them more personally. Asking how long theyve been married is generally acceptable but otherwise its not your business as a customer aquaintance.

When confronted I would have just said "sorry, im married too and was trying to be friendly" maybe laughed about how making friends is hard these days. Beyond that, it would be on them if they want to continue being butthurt by an innocent mistake.

I knew I couldnt handle med school the first time I saw the manhandling of a cadaver. I just cant view a body like that objectively. I know they consented, but it still feels like a violation cutting into them.

So are you believing that the rock world was still somehow a physical evelyn? Cause I see that as a major flaw in your reasoning.

And im surprised no one here is talking about the obvious depression and shame that led Joy to feeling so lost. I felt the whole movie was her searching for a universe that could explain why she felt worthless because if things outside of her control. Then she seeks what everyone does, comforting. Whether in the acceptance of a loved one, or in leaving it all behind, they just took it to a very extreme sci-fi level. It wasnt just suicide, it was ending all of her, everywhere, all at once. The pain if life and the reality that it will be there no matter what choices she makes, make her angry and want to bring the attention of others to the answer she found. Which is that the universe is fucked and not worth existing in. She finally finder her mother who understands and fights to change, but the pain is so deep that she thinks it would be better of her mother joined her in death. Why wouldnt someone want to free their entire existence from pain? And once you've settled that suicide is freedom from pain, its pretty difficult to win you back.

Maybe I've just known too many people who have commit suicide because if feeling there was nothing for them in life, no joy, no hope, no comfort. The idea of exploring an endless number of possible different lives and still finding the same end result would only further that need to just end it.

Talk to her about end of the day chires that you can do to make up for it. If she likes the trash too go out before bed, or a quick vacuum of high traffic areas, mop around eating/cooking areas, doing final check of locked doors before bed, walking pet before bed etc.

Good on you for wanting to be a partner and searching out solutions for a problem before it becomes a fight. My husband wont lift a finger to do a damn thing without me begging him for days to do it. Then he likes to yell about how im always nagging him. So yeah. Dont be him.

But without being able to diagnose it, you may live wondering what you did to cause it, or put the child through many painful or traumatizing treatments, thinking you are helping, but really you are just wasting their time with added suffering. With diagnosing you know what it is, and you know there arent any cures. So you can focus on comfort for them and helping them enjoy any amount of life possible.

And, yes, I absolutely do know the disease well. My sister in law is a home care taker of the only known family to have 2 children with the disease. One is 15yo now, the other is 11yo. And while its true they cant do or communicate much, they smile and enjoy her company. They snuggle with her for movies, which they have favorites they enjoy. They have favorite foods, which they get spoiled with often. If they get excited about something, their parents and caretakers go out of their way to make sure they make those girls happy and fufilled. Diagnosing keeps those girls out in the world rather than cooped up in a hospital hoping to find a cure that doesnt exist. That's definitely worth something.

The relief is that there are tools to help diagnose it early enough for intervention. Otherwise a child developes these symptoms and its just death and suffering.

My credit union frames it as letting you get gas even if you dont have enough money. If you have kids they will say its getting diapers or food without having enough.

But my bank doesnt allow real overdrafts. If you overdraft but have money in a savings account, they will take money from that account to cover the purchase. Only once until you tell them to reactivate it.

Not necessarily! I use a credit union and overdraft protection with them means thats if you are going to over draft by less than $50, they can take the amount from your savings to use for the charge. They then send a text that your overdraft took money from your savings and that future overdrafts would be blocked unless you call them to unlock overdraft protection again. (You can do this in the app as well).

My CU doesnt ever allow overdrafts otherwise. They do offer a credit card with no fees that they recommend for people who travel and might end up in situations where they need more money than planned or their debit card doesnt go through.
