Man I loved Myst, this is cool!

Beautiful!

These are great, I want more. The communion card was especially brutal.

Very cool!

I like both softener and dryer sheets ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

This is not the first time you’ve posted about Ashlyn. She’s a 14 year old so there’s a high likelihood that she’s genuinely intolerable. But aren’t you in your twenties? Maybe don’t fixate on her so much. Lena needs to figure this out for herself.

Is this your ex Sam, who you posted about only one week ago, asking whether it would be a mistake to get back together? And the general consensus was to stay away because he’s clearly not into you?

Ouais is more like ‘yeah’, not ‘yes’.

Didn’t you already post about this?

I go grocery shopping once a week, and I’m buying just for two adults. Most things I get at Aldi, and some things at Giant if I don’t like the Aldi version, or Aldi doesn’t sell it. I do make a list ahead of time, but I buy mostly the same things every week.

A typical aldi trip includes bananas, berries (rasp or blue usually), avocados, some kind of fresh green veg for dinner (typically spinach, asparagus, or green beans), bread, jaffa cakes, coffee, low-fat cheese, laundry detergent & fabric softener, windex, dishwasher pods, toilet paper, canned fire-roasted tomatoes (soooo many easy recipes with these!), sparkling water, eggs, egg whites, almond milk, yogurt, and pierogies. Then I typically get my meat at Giant (most of Aldi’s meat is pretty gnarly), plus things like toothpaste, evaporated milk, sugar packets, paper towels, canned lentils (my Aldi doesn’t carry these???), and a little bouquet of flowers. And then some random things I buy on Amazon, like my tea (yorkshire gold), farro, protein powder, low-fodmap ingredients, etc.

I spend about $150 a week unless I’m out of something expensive like paper towels.

Girl. Have some dignity and kick him to the curb because it’s clear he’s not really interested in you. He probably wants you on standby in case his dick or his ego need stroking. Don’t make excuses for someone who’s mistreating you, especially at such a young age - you’re just inviting dysfunction. You can and will do better, but not if he’s in the way. Good luck.

I’m late Gen X. When we were younger, women shaving at least the lips and bikini line, plus trimming down the rest, was normal. I don’t think a lot of women my age went fully hairless most of the time, but having a brazilian now and again was pretty normal. Men either didn’t do any grooming or trimmed things down a bit, but didn’t generally go fully hairless. As we got older more hair crept back in. I guess to me, hairlessness is associated with kids (by which i mean like 18 year olds to mid-twenties - people way too young for me to fuck at this point), and I think hair is sexy. I don’t think I’d do a brazilian at this point - I prefer at least some hair. I do still prefer the lips and bikini line to be bare, but that entails annoying upkeep and itchy stubble, so I usually only do it every other week and let it grow in a bit.

I guess what we find attractive changes as we age.

Nobody’s going to want to be around you if you’re volatile and hurtful. And “I can’t help it” is a thin excuse. These are things you absolutely could control, you just have to try.

You sound young. Get control of yourself and develop some empathy. And while you’re at it, do something about your internalized misogyny. These two passages ought to create some cognitive dissonance for you:

Women also piss me off more than men do, so I hang out more with them because I feel like they get me and aren’t as bitchy.

I think women should be the best versions of themselves :) [I believe this is why society is so hard on women as a whole]

Dibs

I don’t know if Gen Z still uses it, but it’s a common thing in Gen X. “Dibs” is what you say to claim things for yourself , e.g., “I’ve got dibs on the last piece of pizza”.

I promise, I’ll believe

Yorkshire Gold, two sugars, splash of evaporated milk.

Accurate

The rhyme goes:

I see London
I see France
I see Clark Kent’s underpants

You can see his tighty whites in the image

Clark Kent is Superman’s alter ego. Superman has “super” vision, and mistakenly thought the other character did too.

Man this sounds fantastic!
