I wonder how much the adoption of newer platforms has a lot to do with having money to advertise. I feel like I lucked out a bit finding lemmy when reddit had the 3rd party apps shut down, just stumbling on a comment before it was deleted. Whereas if the commenter had paid for it to be an advertisement it may have stayed up

Context is everything. Yeah, your wife of 10 years deserves the face to face, more than once. A dude I dated for a few months that showed no emotional intelligence specifically told me he'd prefer a text. I obliged when I realized it wasn't going anywhere and I didn't want to keep up a casual relationship. He then asked to talk in person, though, and I again obliged.

I'M WORKING WITH SOME VERY UNSTABLE HERRRRBSSS

And they should refuse! It creates a dependency when what you deserve is to learn or validate that you are capable 💖

No mention of Moonrise Kingdom!? I finally got around to watching Asteroid City recently and enjoyed it

Oxytocin is a big one, but I'm struggling to remember the others. I remember that one cuz of a psych class where the professor brought it up as an event that mothers would associate as having some of the highest levels of it. Its considered the bonding hormone, so makes sense we'd bond with our babies so drastically to keep us motivated to care for them after they ripped our lower body apart lol

Woman here in my mid 30s. I went through a few rough relationships, and in the last longterm one shifted my mindset from "of course I'll have kids" to "I won't put my body through that"

Since leaving that relationship, being in and out of therapy, and meeting someone that made me feel love in a way I didn't think was possible, I've changed my mind back. I'd be fine with it if it never happened, but there's something incredibly romantic about it to me. Being in such a vulnerable state where I'd need help but be supported. Putting my body through that, then having a common goal in raising them as a team.

I would not be surprised if my chonker baby figured that out and waited until the old lady had hers dispensed then bullied her out of the way. Anyone have tips for preventing that?

I rarely brush mine aside from maybe once a month or so before washing, which I do once a week. I'm not the most active, though. If I have it down when outside with lots of wind or something it might get tangled, but that's a good sign for a trim for me, too

They almost always look great except when they don't

I've tried so many times. Got it right once or twice but something usually goes horribly wrong. Ive given up in favor of the mermaid hair cuz it adds insulation when its cold and I'll toss it up in a bun when its hot

I think thats somewhat demonstrated, but its possible the power corrupts and brings those traits out, too
