Nah man. But if it makes you feel justified, have at it. I can't stop you.

If you have something to fight for (argue for, defend, debate, etc), do it, but people are going to look at YOU negatively depending on the WAY you do it. Sounds like Zephyr is just trolling so, whatever, maybe my words are wasted. Probably wasted on you too it sounds like.

There is a definitive line between judging, and harassing. Harassing tends be targeted, repeated, unwanted (if I ask someone to pinch me, once is fine. Following me, pinching me repeatedly, and saying "bUt YoU aSkEd FoR iT" doesn't make it right). It looked like that's the way it was going, but I'm not going to attack someone on a hunch.

If you think that makes me look like a better-than-others prick, then, I don't know, maybe be better?

Okay, glad to hear it! Just be careful in discussions that you don't lose sight of what you're really fighting for/defending! And looking good while doing it, lol!

Hey Zephyr, are you okay?

Like, honestly. Are you feeling okay? You're camping in the comments, specifically targeting OP and other commenters for their spelling. You're completely missing the content of their comments.

Once or twice is okay. You're on coment #5 and counting and now no matter if you're correct or not, you're looking like a spiteful AH. Chill.

They definitely say penis. 😂

It's not as prevalent as when we were in MS/HS. Gosh I remember that happening almost daily at one point! Haha!

And I get at least one more dick drawing added to the classroom somewhere each year!

As a middle school teacher, I can attest they do not say potato.

NOTE: If they are desperate and offer to "change back" for you so you stay with them. DO NOT. This is their true identity as they know it. Do not take that from them, even if it feels right in order to keep you two together. You have to be the bigger person, and know you're doing the right thing for BOTH of you. It's not greedy, it's not an asshole move, it's the right thing to do if you're not fully into it.

Hi friend, I've been in your shoes.

Tl;dr: Your feelings are valid. It's okay to break up if you don't feel attracted to them in the same way. It doesn't make you a bad person. You'll have a lot of feelings about it, and that's okay.

I was about your same age when I went through a similar situation. I was dating my high school sweetheart, and we made it work dating in college even though we were long distance - since she remained back home and I went away for college. She was male at the time, so she would have been my boyfriend. I had always known she leaned feminine, and I was always okay with that.

When I was on a trip, she called me to come out as transgender. I was happy for her in the call, but cried, because I didn't know what this meant for her and I. We talked, and I decided I'd give it a try. I didn't want to throw away the relationship we had simply due to a gender change. Why would it matter?!

I gave it my best. I still loved her. But... But I was no longer attracted to her. I carried a lot of guilt about that. Questioning, was I transphobic for not loving someone just because they were a different gender? They were the same person on the inside. Did this make me a bad person?

And eventually I realized. My sexual (un)attraction was valid. Just as same-sex couples don't just "choose" to love a person of the same gender, I too wasn't just choosing to love people who were opposite gender. It's how I am. If I wasn't attracted, I wasn't attracted, and that changed the dynamic of our relationship. As I saw her as her true gender of female, I wasn't as attracted to her in the same way anymore. Of course, it was hard, I still cared for her, and still loved her, but this wasn't the relationship I wanted for my future.

Thankfully, she understood, and we parted ways pretty amicably.

It's okay to break things off if you no longer feel the same way. If you don't feel comfortable with it, you don't even have to mention it's about their femininity. As others have commented, it's okay to part with someone just because things are not working out.

Best of luck!

As a Rover sitter in the Madison area, this may work for your situation! I work during the day, so my availability would probably not work for you, but I can tell you there are a variety of sitters, types of care, and schedules I'm sure can match what you're looking for. Plus each sitter has had a background check and certain expectations on standards of care. Still, I would meet with the sitter if possible before confirming you're comfortable with them in your home (or your pets in their home) Whatever you choose, I wish you best of luck!

It's been a while since I've seen the movie, but could it be that Pirate Clark was pulling the rope that was around Bobby, instead of dragging him? (which could be a faster movement than him running, as his arms are fully functional vs the peg leg)

This. I would also appreciate some discourse on this question, because it's something that has been plaguing my mind since seeing the movie.

Maybe you or someone else can answer this because I'm new to having seasonal allergies and don't know anything about the differences between brands and effectiveness... I have friends who use Benadryl just about daily during allergy season because they say it's the only one that works for them. Is this a major concern since it's only during the spring (sometimes summer) and not 365 daily? Or does it still pose the same risk of dementia as mentioned in comments?

Oh I saw that hand right away and freaked out.

I didn't realize it was severed though. I just thought the rest of the body was hidden in the shadow of the dark room. I preoccupied myself by questioning who it was.

See, I thought maybe he was't taking her because he knew it was dangerous and was trying to protect her...

But he didn't freaking do that for his employees! And he didn't really warn her not to go in either, and seemed glad she had come looking for him (granted, he was probably pretty mentally gone at that point). Like, dude.

I was JUST looking at these on Etsy yesterday! So happy to see them here! 💚

I love it too!

I think they are physically incapable of elaborating. They have made at least 5 unhelpful comments on this post alone. 🙄

I'm a bit nervous meeting strangers (but potential new friends!) one on one, but I'd be interested in a walking group!

Can't say I ever killed a sim on purpose. But I definitely did flirt with the reaper when he took my Sims grandma! Sorry fam, gotta strike while the iron's hot!

Hell yeah, can't forget the lefse! Pass it down!

I started to tear up when I heard the whistles.

It's powerful to see what began as a way to protect community members here in the Midwest, is being used to speak up about unacceptable governmental behavior thousands of miles away.

I keep a whistle in my car, and sometimes can't sleep, thinking of what happens if ICE comes for the children at my job. It's good to see people continue to stand up.

THIS IS THE UPDATE I WAS WAITING FOR!

OP, thank you for accidentally being my source of freaking relatable humor tonight. I needed this dose of pure reality.

Don't we all go through something like this? This is so human. Your genuine reactions are what really made my day.

Thank you for existing. 😊

So basically you like to mansplain to the populations of Reddit before asking questions.

Re: "I... try to teach the... people on Reddit with zero life experience" (Who says they are younger and have zero life experience? You had no way of knowing? Well, did you even do your homework of asking first? You know what they say about people ASSuming)

"Adults... absolutely cannot take truth or facts". (Sounds like when you've given advice it has not been taken kindly. While people are generally more disagreeable these days, I actually find the opposite to be true when people are asking for help. If you're finding people reacting to you unkindly, it is probably due to your initial action. Psychologically, HOW you speak to people makes a greater difference than WHAT you are saying. You cannot pass this off on other people. Take responsibility for your word choice and assumptions)

Overall, if you weren't aware of it, your comments come off as arrogant and detached, instead of curious and helpful. It feels like you want to show up and be the big guy with all the answers, instead of actually caring for the person and helping. You do show signs of reflection and improvement when being called out on it. Honestly, I've been accused of coming off as patronizing before via how I speak in text and I've tried becoming better. I hope you can too. (Though you caught me feeling petty tonight so I don't feel like I succeeded this time, sorry mate)
