We’ve been together 3 years. He’s had this dog for 8, since she was a puppy. When I first starting coming over, I was neutral to dogs, and at first things were ok. She’s well trained but it’s so many things that started to really irritate me, I’ll start with the sensory issues then what really started to irk me lately and why she drives me nuts. First, the slobber. Shes a big dog, with those droopy lips so if she grazes her mouth on you you’ll be left with a gross white crusty stain on your clothes. You can’t leave anything out with a chance of her gross mouth touching it. The windows she looks out of is so gross and smeary from her wet mouth, our coffee table has white crusty...

For the longest time I assumed I was socially broken. Every convo felt like a live exam. I’d be in my head the whole time. Am I boring? Did that land weird? Should I say something funny? And somehow I’d miss the exact moment the vibe quietly died. What finally clicked was uncomfortable: **the moment you start performing, people feel it.** Not consciously. Just… something tight in the air. Like you’re talking *at* them instead of with them. Most advice says “be confident.” Useless. Confidence doesn’t appear on command. What actually helped was dropping the goal of impressing and replacing it with curiosity. Real curiosity. The kind where you stay on one thing instead of boun...

A couple of months back I remember seeing a Reddit post where someone mentioned this old style cookbook focused on how people ate before modern food systems. I meant to comment and ask about where they got it then completely lost the post. If you’re the person who originally suggested it, thank you, because it stuck with me enough that I went looking for it later and it’s honestly changed how I think about food. We’re so used to fridges, supermarkets, and next-day delivery that I never really stopped to think about how people actually ate before all of that existed. The book is basically a collection of recipes designed to last months or even years without refrigeration. The same kind...

No judgement but it’s come to my attention that more people than I’ve assumed can eat an entire grocery store rotisserie chicken in one sitting. I don’t understand how. Again no judgement.

Background: I got a new phone and lost my Rockstar authenticator so I was screwed unless Support manually removed it, but I kept on getting the "contact your authenticator's support instead" bot reply no matter what subcategory I created the ticket under. I couldn't use the Rockstar website's chat box for responses because I can't sign in without an authenticator code, so all of my communications were just hitting "Reply ALL" to the emails they sent in my mail client. After 2 weeks of attempts I finally got my 2FA removed. I will paste exactly what I said below to hopefully be of some help to someone who had the same issue I did just to see an exampl...

Chapter 1 “The Tribute” POV Amelia I’m busy scrubbing the pots and pans when the head cook barks at me, “Amelia, the Alpha wants to see you.” I walk slowly to his office, wondering if Alpha Sebastian has finally decided between me, his mate, or his chosen mate, Celest, to be his Luna. “Amelia, please have a seat,” he says. “Hi, Sebastian,” I whimper. “You will now address me only as your Alpha,” he says coldly. ‘*******,’ my wolf Athena says to me. “He doesn’t have a choice. His father is forcing him to marry Celest,” I tell my wolf in my head. “As you know, Celest and I are getting married next week. She is refusing to come here until I reject you...

Late 30s couple. 2 kids under 5, one more on the way. HCOL city. HHI $1.5M. NW $5.0M Long-time reader of FIRE subs, posting from a burner. Current spend is \~$600k, putting our number at... $17M (at 3.5%). In fairness, mortgage, school and nanny is more than half of this, and we'd expect some lumpy income to help payoff the house. However, private school wouldn't end for 18 more years, and we'd like to call it before that. My biggest question / ask for input is re: spend. Would love to get a sense for how other similarly situated families are spending or areas that look way off. Second, less tactical area, is just advice on balancing income, spend, and how we feel about it...

Thoughts and suggestions on how to better organize this pantry. Nothing is expired or anything like that. The middle shelf is our cans and things like that and the bottom shelf is things like pasta boxes/bagged pasta and tortillas. Really it's the can shelf. We use through things regularly and replenish, but what are your thoughts for being able to 1. make it look better and 2. make it easier to see things. Thanks!!

TL;DR - had to Macgyver this because I couldn’t find the right idly maker - hope this is useful or somebody! After looking for an ‘idly pot’ (idli steamer) and not finding one (the commenters in Amazon are either ruthless and have ridiculously high standards or the is no competitive high quality product available for sale in the US), I had to Macgyver this - yes it’s homemade but it also isn’t… I got a cheap stainless steel Idli maker inserts from the local India grocery store ($10). Three stacks in the insert - 4 idlis each for a total of 12 in one batch. Washed it thoroughly with soap and water. I used store bought idly/dosa batter - lightly oiled the molds with a brush, and...

I’m posting here hoping for local insight and recommendations. I’m one of the Maids of Honor for my best friend’s wedding in Santos, Brazil in June 2026. The bridal party is very international, and we’ll all be in Santos a few days before the wedding. Many of us have never met, and there are some language differences, so I’m hoping to plan a bachelorette celebration that feels fun, welcoming, and culturally respectful. I’d love suggestions for bachelorette-style activities that work well in Brazil or specifically in or around Santos. This could be daytime or nighttime ideas, relaxed or celebratory, food-focused, beach-related, nightlife, group activities, or anything that feels...

​ ​The hum of the beverage cooler was the only thing that answered, as cold and persistent as the empty side of my bed.

My Boyfriend Soko (17) and I (18) have been living together for about 7-8 months now because of his personal living situation at home, after about two months of searching and getting jobs we were able to find a place that would lease to us and our little kitty(My name is the only one on the lease as of right now). The main issue is that he’s seems to be lacking knowledge in certain areas of life, for example: I’ve had to teach him how to laundry properly, vacuum properly, clean everything properly basically, teach him how to make appointments for himself and how to talk nicely and not rude and blunt. He isn’t autistic or anything of the sorts, I think he just lacks basic social c...

So for context I never used to be allergic to dogs or any animals for that matter until my mid 20’s then I randomly became insanely allergic to them. My girlfriend has 3 little dogs and she had them before we started dating and we started dating before I was allergic so it wasn’t an issue. But now we live together and I’m highly allergic. I have been working with an allergist to help me get over this so for the past year I’ve been taking daily antihistamines, my inhalers daily ( I am asthmatic) and I have been doing allergy shots weekly for the last 5 months. I even got an EpiPen now. My symptoms are really bad too not just little sniffles like it’s to the point where I couldn�...
