>you want children because it'll make your life better in some or many ways, you do not have kids because you think it's best for them Or because you think / want your miraculous offspring to solve the world's problems. The ego of that one *especially* blows my mind.

So now imagine walking about with a t-shirt displaying the bawdy postcard graphic. Exact same image, totally different context. This is likely more an issue of people just thinking you look like a massive bellend and how comfortable you are with that. >I've seen many a risqué t-shirt over the years. Most people don't even notice them. I assure you that if you're got a dick or tits on your top, people most definitely notice.

Not the same thing.

>any penis contained in the picture is nearly always soft. So *some* of them display erections? Lmfao you have to be joking with this post.

Sexual harassment = Sexual remarks / comments, (e.g. Someone shouting "*Nice tits love!*") I wouldn't class just *staring* (either with approval *or* dispproval) as sexual harrassment at all, from men or women. More just awkward or crappy social behavior.

And yet you still think *women* are the problem? Idk.. I just think sexual harassment from men would absolutely skyrocket if there we were going about totally topless.

>I think women are more the issue in this. You've never faced any sexual harassment from men in public?

Not necessarily. There's an old guy around here in Hastings who cycles totally nude most days, even past Schools when kids are coming out. Police aren't doing shit about him.

Men sexually harrass us enough even when we're *clothed*.

Full public nudity isn't illegal here . Just yeah.. very little of us actually *want* to do it.

You might feel a bit of a light buzz perhaps, but drunk? No.

Extremely popular.

No. Tbh I think the opposite will be found. That they help prevent many cancers.

You are technically correct, but you are also massively over-simplifying a vastly complex health issue.

You're still just one person. You cannot speak for anyone else, just your own personal experience. Also, if it didn't hurt you, then you straight-up *didn't* struggle as much as other people. 1500 calories a day with exercise was unbearable agony for me at age 34. At age 20, 500 calories a day while over-exercising wasn't even as much agony. The experience of hunger can vary wildly even for *one* person throughout a single lifetime.

I just bought two more 7.5mg pens from my supplier (the max they'd allow me to buy) and realised it's enough to get me to my goal weight if I lose 2 lbs a week. I've been losing 1lb - 1.5mb per week since I started taking Mounjaro in March so I could perhaps hit that 2lb if I just work out some more. Really though I was hoping to stay on this med for life, so I'm going to see how much the 2.5mg pens will actually cost once the price hike sets in. I think the lower doses will not see as huge a price increase as the higher doses. I'm 38 and I've struggled with eating for my entire life - I grew up with food neglect, then had Anorexia Nervosa in my teens, and then was so poor that my weight plummeted to bmi 16 yet again, and then anti-depressants leaving me feeling like an abyss of endless hunger, and extreme weight gain.. I fucking *deserve* to feel normal and have a healthy relationship with food, and Mounjaro has done all of that and more. I've just been realising since the news dropped that I would pay a LOT of money for this because it's so worth it for my health.

2 nights a week. 3 nights a week if I'm stressed with work. I normally have around two bottles of 11% wine when I drink.

I got a small whiteboard for this exact reason. Life-changing purchase tbh!

You're better off looking up hairstyles that suit your face shape, then you can find something that suits you personally.

Oh.. Oh dear god. That's something.. Well, still just 11k members though, so how common is this in the grand scale of the world? It seems like something a few oddballs are into. Not sure how anyone with a half a brain could possibly feel fulfilled by something they know is just a language model / not actually a sentient being.

>We’ve all heard the chatter  Have we? I haven't heard a single thing about this. What is it? I don't think I know a single person who has a relationship with an AI chatbot.

Because they seem unjaded enough to briefly interact with passing strangers?

That's pathetic. Why is each passing of a stranger so weighted with expectation?

Are people who are privileged enough to live in the countryside just perpetually "*on*" and ready to warmly and merrily greet everyone they pass? It's endearing, but as an autistic person who suffers from depression and social anxiety, and also lives near London so people greeting me normally being an unpleasant chat-up, your expectation baffles me.

About 2 years ago. I had ovarian torsion, a 6cm cyst on one ovary, and my fallopian tubes were blocked with fluid. 10 on the pain scale. I was thrown out of the bed I was given in favor of a man with dementia who I watched keep getting up for little walks, and be told by doctors "You need to stop calling us", while I sat in a wooden chair opposite him while I cried and writhed in agony for hours. It was morning (around 9am) when I went to A+E, and I was in emergency surgery at about 1am.

Buying current trend tad is how kids fit in with each other and part of how they bond. I wouldn't deny them things just because I didn't think they were cool or whatever. I think kids should be able to spend their pocket money on whatever they like.

Thank you so much! I haven't heard about this or looked into this, but I shall look into it now. All the very best to you too!

Reading. I already had ADHD, but it got so much worse during 2020 - 21 with the pandemic and my insane doomscrolling of the news constantly. I feel pathetic about this, as it has been so long now I feel I have no excuses, but my reading *still* isn't how it used to be. I used to adore long classics like War and Peace, but now I'm lucky if I can read a complete pamphlet in one go. Absolutely dire. I'm on a long waiting list for an ASD assessment and I've already been told the wait list on the NHS is around 7 years for this, so I dread to think of the list if I also try to get an ADHD assessment.

No, your gesture sounds very sweet.

They're just saying that you look younger than you are.. Nothing more to it than that.

"I'm so sorry for the way I treated you when you were hurting and just needed love."

It's so weird that you're getting downvoted for this, and someone minimising your experience is getting lots of upvotes. And you have someone accusing you of exaggerting. What a lovely bunch! Apparently you're only allowed to shit on parents here.

What thread?

Some really high quality noise-cancelling headphones.

The food thing is probably some kind of intergenerational trauma from expectations being placed on children from the post-war era. If you don't love the food you're given, express thanks and eat all of it, you'd be punished or even beaten for not seeming grateful. I was born in the 80s but still remember friends parents having this really weird, sometimes scary attitude around "finishing your plate" and accepting even the most revolting food. I can't explain the other examples. Maybe the first person just found something else that was genuinely better. I'm pretty sure people of other countries have offers fall through like this too though?

Like every second post on any UK sub is someone talking about this.

It's long been legal to be nude in public in general here, not just beaches. >is the new policy completely accepted by the general population Lol, of course it isn't. Most people in this country still have no idea that it's perfectly legal to be nude in public here, and many object to it despite of what the law says. Especially if there are families with kids around and there's a guy stark naked near them. You're better off sticking to nudist beaches or doing it where there aren't folk about. Or find more comfortable swimwear.

Now you explain it, it does make sense. Thank you! I am less judgy as of this comment. <3

Fat people who call themselves "fat cunts" or some other desperate form of self-deprecation. Formerly fat people who aggressively judge currently fat people instead of having empathy for people who struggled with the exact same thing they did - a very obvious projection of self-hatred from when they were fat themselves.

In that case I think you should go for it! Really no need to spend a ton of money if you'd be perfectly happy with what you detailed.

Oh, it was confusing because you said about her wanting a big white wedding.

I'm wondering how much of a fan his fiancée is for this "private elopement, surprise engagement/wedding party, and just save the money for a new car" deal.

>We’re starting to look at wedding planning and due to big white wedding my partner would want and the size of our families, we are looking at £10k-£20k+ which feels absolutely absurd to me for one day of entertaining other people. I mean, you say "my partner would want" and then it's absurd "for one day of entertaining other people". For most couples here planning a wedding it's safe to assume the costs go into things that they want, rather than just doing it for other people. (Or that's *ideally* how it'd be anyway!) >Now, we do have a trip to Orlando planned at the end of august and we have a large engagement party in November where the entire family will be there. We had the idea of eloping in Orlando for less than £1k and surprising everyone at the engagement party and having a good night then. This might just feel really weird and odd to the guests tbh. Like "SURPRISE! We're already married!"? It might not go down as smoothly as you're envisioning either, especially if you have - as expected - people at that party before the surprise, asking about your wedding plans. Like you're essentially just lying to everyone and then springing "already married!" on people who were looking forward to your wedding. Why not just do what you are your bride-to-be want to do and be honest with everyone? It looks like you feel like you need to do a lot of legwork here to appease people who are not you or your future wife. People from both of your families might feel lied to and let down about something so important. Just do what you like and be honest?

No. Not worth making my bath / shower smell like piss just because I can't be bothered doing it in the perfectly functional toilet right next to it.

It's a trend, so it makes people feel part of a group. It's an indicator that you're trendy, or have money, or own something that other people covet, especially if it's a "special" or some kind of rare one. (They come in blind boxes so you don't know the rarity of the one have in your box until you open it). They're extremely social media friendly because people enjoy watching others open the box and see which one they have. Some people find them cute and like the whole creepy/cute thing? I think they're hideous personally and I don't like them, but some people do. 🤷🏻‍♀️

These are all incredibly good and valid points, and you're completely correct. I feel bad about posting my original response now. I hope OP has a great day.

Ah I didn't mean to dampen it, lol. All of those people I knew back then were completely oblivious to the fact that they were participating in someone's kink. I just think it's something I'd liked to have been aware of - that there are people who find it hot. Not saying OP's situation will be like this though!

Yep, people who work in retail aren't obliged to give randoms special access to private staff-only areas for security and provide drinks. Complaining that a free drink they were given "isn't adequate" when the staff weren't even obliged to provide it in the first place seems a bit mad. >even if I don't kick off Certainly gives the impression OP *has* found situations in which they felt necessary to kick off.

Nope. Sounds like a "you" problem. Arseholes come in all ages and genders. >Beluga cat look Can you not just use normal words? Are we all supposed to know what this means?

Fetishists.. Some of the people who organise gungings or turn up to watch gunging events have a kink for it. An exes friend set one of these charity gunging events up, got all his mates in on "the fun", and it later came out online that they had a gunging kink. They'd taken hundreds of photos on the day of all of their friends covered in gunge.. It all looked so innocent at the time.
