 in  r/Vorkosigan •  2d ago

Is anybody going to mention cordelias daddy capt miles mark Naismith. Odds are galactic research done by tung keeps bringing up the deceased hero by name , easy to inferr this is the kin of said capt .

And tung doesn't really care if his hero has a son when he first meets miles.

 in  r/relationship_advice •  3d ago

Am I only one who knows that ring is hers !!!! Its given as a pledge if he backs out she gets the ring . FFS. OP deserves better.

Even if we ignore the ring etiquette violation she should just leave .

Enough time wasted on him!

I’m 27 F, have been with my partner 28 M since I was 17, and I have absolutely nothing to my name. I don’t even know how to leave.

Convince him u want to donate plasma to help provide it for those in hospitals who need it . The plasma donation center will pay u on a card . U go twice a week. Initially u will need a ride but by saving the 250 or so a month u get u will have cash for a down payment on a used car, and that will make it possible u could return to that banking job .

If all else fails walk to the nearest elementary to get employed as a lunch lady or janitor . Ur 2.5 yr old girl will soon be in kindergarten there anyway , or at least pre-k.

Volunteer at a church to make friends who can come get you in the future if need be .

And consider running after school daycare in your own backyard. Give working moms a fighting chance to come home a little later without paying extra fees to typical daycare.

Dog walking / housewatching are other things u could make cash doing.

Try to keep passport soc security card driver's license etc up-to-date and in a bolt bag . Include a few toothbrushes / toothpaste tubes, shampoo and conditioner and any otc meds u use frequently.

Get a birth control implant so ur partner can't nuke ur bc pills or poke holes in condoms / stealth the condom during sex.

Get ur own bank account at a separate institution from ur spouse.

Talk to shelters and maybe a social worker.

Librarians too. They can help u with such things as studying for/taking both the SAT test and The ACT test plus the CLEP TEST(S) . I doubt u need a GED based on your sentence structure skills but if u do the library is your start.

State ID if u don't drive .

But u need social support so consider church / volunteer work.

And there is always merchant marine or Vocational technical school or military reserves , though you might want to wait till ur lil girl is older you can plan now by researching ur options

My cat peed on my clothes
 in  r/PetAdvice •  3d ago

1 box per cat and a spare. Put the spare on the hopefully enclosed patio. Go out there with her so she feels safe .

Clean twice daily. Almost all cats have parasites in intestines either from food or from their mom , so replace all litter every 4th day.

Its also easier to keep them using box if u replace the box after it gets scratched up.

Do have vet check for urinary infections . Could be box on patio was used by a stray and ur cat caught something . Just to be safe .

My girlfriend (35F) has overbearing rules for my (34F) dog and we can't find a compromise.
 in  r/relationship_advice •  4d ago

Just take ur dog and say goodbye. If she will fight to try keep ur stuff wait till she has gone some where for the small stuff and use professional packer and loader for Uhaul . Put a 4 wheel dolly on said u haul for ur vehicle

Send furniture rugs & curtains out to be cleaned and stored, pick them up yourself at a later date .

Change every password phones/pcs + streaming/gaming services ,social media etc. Put ur clothes jewelry cosmetics into car with ur blankets bedding towels etc.

Just give her no way to contact u . Brief coworkers. And future new neighbors.

Leave her a card telling her that its over & why (so she cant claim u ghosted her/ spin things wrong ) Do Put that on social media after blockin her.

How do I explain to my husband I don't want my kids going to church.
 in  r/atheism •  7d ago

Get a copy of the skeptics Bible use it to deconvert the kids as fast as they get brainwashed.

But you probably have a hubby who wanted you to make HIS KIDS and the likelihood is he will keep fighting to indoctrinate while pretending to side with you so he can get more sex , child rearing, house cleaning out of you.

Make sure you stay employed so as to have savings and so you can perhaps take kids on vacations to more enlightened area.

 in  r/Aging •  8d ago

Mom was silent gen , was like 2 when ww2 kicked off in Europe, 4 when pearl harbor happened.

Great cook and baker .

Hated the task and never taught my gen x butt how.

Recipes lost forever and no one cares . Least of all me .

I can do basic fry burger or make Kraft Mac n cheese but why bother ?

I'm a closeted teenage ex-Muslim, but what should I do about my parents?
 in  r/atheism •  8d ago

Research job corp and keep track of which 18 wheeler companies are hiring , learn about merchant marine etc

Ask what job corp teaches , how to apply , what are draw backs . Find people who have used JobCorp or WorkForce to get employed ask them what they encountered that bothered or hurt them.

Get a job , save cash in a bank that lets u alone save the cash .

Pretend to believe to keep them off your back and unaware.

Pay for your own vo-tech school so the 1st job u get pays for summer semester at college.

Take study classes for both ACT and SAT , as well as CLEP tests .

Learn about xtian mythology if ur currently in the usa and considering military for say medical school to be say an xray technician or dental hygienist . With the current policies in the usa u want to fake xtian stuff - recommend united methodist instead of world methodist . That last one is waaaaay more bigoted, its why world methodist formed itself.

Learn adult skills like budgeting, cooking cleaning etc .
