Gotta be the most delusional thing I’ve read on here in a while lmfao nitter.cf/KeturahAbigail/status/…
In twenty years nobody will know who CuriousBunnie12 is. It is highly plausible that my husband's name will be remembered in even two hundred years. Like it or not, he's shaping civilization.

Husband puts a cigarette in his mouth. Me, “I thought you didn’t smoke in the jeep.” H, “I’m just putting it in my mouth” M, “Maybe if you started sucking dick you’d stop smoking. It’d give you that *mouth feel*” H, “Maybe if you sucked my dick more you’d stop talking and stop saying dumb shit” M, 😂, “NVM You definitely need to smoke”

So basically the only demographic with a republican majority was Old White Southern Men with No College Education. Demographic is not surprising but the intensity of rejection from every other demographic and sub demographic is more exaggerated than I expected.

Your penis is curved because you’re circumcised.
Replying to @TheAlphaPathh
Almost every guy deals with this. It happens more with deeper thrusts, a bigger angle change, or a more curved penis. Shorter, controlled strokes and a slight angle adjustment fix most of it.

This sentiment makes me lol. Children have never impeded my personal development, ability to pursue passions, etc. You can just **do things** when you have kids, if you choose to set your life up that way. “They’re in the prime of their lives, understand themselves better than ever, and have the freedom to pursue their careers, enjoy life, and build the kind of relationship they’ve always wanted.”
Seth Rogen says he and his wife are now more grateful than ever that they decided not to have children he’s not afraid to explain why. He admits they used to question whether they’d made the right decision, but now their conversations have shifted to, “Honestly, thank God we don’t have children.” His reasoning? They’re in the prime of their lives, understand themselves better than ever, and have the freedom to pursue their careers, enjoy life, and build the kind of relationship they’ve always wanted. But Seth took it a step further, saying he sees people with children struggling to find the same time for work and personal enjoyment that he and his wife have. “I seem to get a lot more active enjoyment out of not having kids than anyone I know seems to get out of having kids.” That statement will probably divide people. Some see raising children as life’s greatest joy, while others believe a fulfilling life doesn’t have to include parenthood. Do you think Seth has a point, or is there a kind of happiness you can only understand after having children?

To be clear - no one should have kids if they don’t want to. There’s nothing wrong with being child free. But “understanding yourself” and “enjoy life” and “build the relationship you want” Those aren’t mutually exclusive with parenthood. It’s not one or the other.

Some people say it’s a myth some women have higher sex drive early-mid cycle. But I just propositioned my husband to move our bed into the garage because our already small house is rapidly getting smaller as the kids get bigger and it’s impeding my evening plans too often.

My mom after I told her I didn’t let my 15 year old go trick or treating because he refused to wear anything remotely resembling a costume. This woman was so strict with us 😆

He was welcome to hangout with friends either way. But no costume = no trick or treating. He decided if he couldn’t go trick or treating without a costume then he wouldn’t go at all. Also, supposedly his friends were wearing costumes. So he wouldn’t have been the only one whose mom made them dress up.

Am I delusional, or do my breasts actually vary by 2 whole cup sizes each month? Small boob me is sad.

Here is the original “test” I rated myself a 7 by their definition but by my own I would say 6. Mine and the “Answer” key in the comments
Reminder that humans don't have world models either

I think I can keep my 7. I answered before seeing the example options. I Improved the wheels also.

Removing survival of the fittest from the human gene pool by allowing certain people to live is a population and genetics nightmare that will become progressively more destructive.

once in a while a man claims redhead women are unattractive and it makes me snort. Have you seen porn filters? Redhead is *always* a top filter. For a reason. It’s a very common kink and many men are PASSIONATE about it. I have had my hair every color. From platinum to black, rich brunette, soft brown, dark blonde, fashion colors, and multiple reds. By far, leagues far, I get hit on the most with bright red hair. I have curly hair and if I go out when it’s long, curly, worn down and bright red I can nearly guarantee I will be complimented by at least one woman, blatantly hit on by at least one man and often hit on by women as well. The only thing that results in more male attention was being <30 and looking passable as possibly underage. But I’m not <30 anymore and almost never get hit on anymore *unless my hair is visible* Men who like red hair will enthusiastically follow a red head woman into the depths of hell and thank her for it.

These drugs are so fucked that I can’t stop taking them because they’re saving my life

We put these up after having dead window birds regularly. They’re cute but you can barely see them and we haven’t had an issue since.
hot take: bird glass is terrible and NYC now requiring it in all new buildings is a travesty

After ~2 attempts it isn’t mental health in the traditional sense. It absolutely becomes *PRIMARILY* manipulation. You are intentionally holding your family and friends hostage. Shit or get off the pot. Let everyone move on with their lives. Cancel me.

Sorry your BPD friend in crisis made you feel icky. Sorry they’re in crisis so often. I’m sorry it’s sooooo burdensome to YOU. BPD is a disorder so severe there are places that recommend assisted suicide as the only treatment. Suck it up.
