Rehersal dinner toast ideas

Not sure if this belongs here but I thought I would give it a try. So about a year ago I bought after market speakers for my wife’s 2015 V6. I was installing the driver side speaker and I wasn’t paying attention (I have bad ADD) my wife came out and was rushing me because apparently we had a dinner date with her parents. Well as she was rushing me for some reason I decided to cut the main plug that goes into the door control on the driver side.
I’m pretty handy so I thought I would just solder it back together. Well in doing so I accidentally had all of the wires touch with the battery attached still (I know, dumbass). Well I ended up replacing the whole door harness with an oem one from ford. Hooked it up plug by plug so I wouldn’t mess it up and even got a new window/mirror controller for the door just in case. Well she still doesn’t have use of her windows, mirror, and the tpms doesn’t register since then. After I gave it the college try I took it to a shop where I know the staff through work since they are one of our vendors. Basically the mechanic said without the original harness he can’t trace back what the issue is and I’d have to take it to ford.
Any idea what it could be? Should I just bite the bullet and spend the butt load of cash to fix it, or am I overlooking an obvious solution?
Thanks in advance for anyone willing to read and give me opinions!

Ok. Let me preface this by saying my 8 year old has NOT had an easy going life. Her dad has chosen to leave her three times (only two she can remember) and I have no legal say in the matter. She’s never had an overnight with him, he’s just around sometimes. He never calls for her, no birthday or Christmas gifts. About two years ago they took a pottery class together and then she hasn’t seen him since BUT he still calls me for advice never even mentioning her. I keep these calls away from her and ignore him until she’s in school as I’ve learned from years of this, he never asks to speak to her and I’ve seen her face fall years before when she knew I was on the phone with him then he had to hang up.
Ok. So she’s got some shit going on.
But my. God. The. Attention. Getting. She has a two year old brother and she threw full blown tantrums as a 6 year old about to finally have a sibling. She got physical with me until my dad stepped in. She absolutely only respects men (out of fear). Of course I’ve had the talks with her about him needing more attention when he was an infant. Of course I involved her in feedings (bottle) and kept her same night time routine and everything. I even made game night every night for a while to ensure she was getting a few hours of undivided mommy time.
Well, lo and behold, my dad stepped out of our lives also. I give SO much positive reinforcement, so much good rewards for good behaviors. She’s had three different therapists who she refuses to talk to. We’ve tried behavior charts, daily checklists.
It’s always the small stupid shit. She sings silly songs in the back of the car every time we go somewhere so I know she’s there. I shrug it off to her just being a kid. At the park when I have to stay right by her two year old brother (we live by the water) she’s constantly like “Mom look at me do this!!!” and she’s just jumping. I shrug it off. She gets super loud to talk over everyone, I just calmly ask her to use her inside voice.
But what gets me is the stupid shit. She’s now learned to eat slow. I don’t mean a little. I mean her toddler brother and I both finished our dinner at the same time. She wasn’t done for fifteen minutes after when I finally told her to throw her last apple (that she was sucking on) away. I blew my fuse. She knows EXACTLY how to get me riled up and ticked off and then eventually I blow up and yell!! (And I’m very well aware it’s a ME problem that I get to that point - in no way blaming an 8 year old for me finally losing my shit).
And please for the love re-read the part where I say I DO SO MUCH POSITIVE REINFORCEMENT AND HAVE TRIED THERAPY. I’m looking for REAL advice here from parents who had kids with behavioral issues.
While I greatly understand I am only one person and can never fill the role of mom AND dad, she absolutely HATES and does not respect the one person who’s never left her, does everything for her, pays her bills, loves her. It makes no sense!!!
I’ve also tried behavioral therapy for MYSELF to learn better parenting techniques. I’ve taken parenting classes. All the shit doesn’t do anything! She’s such an angry lil child and does anything she can to make me yell and have the whole house be as miserable as her. As stated, I’ve also tried therapy. Many times. She won’t talk about feelings- SO I made her a mood vs feelings journal with examples! She has a gratitude journal! ( she hates journaling now suddenly) She has a friend she chats with on the phone, a tablet she plays games on. We’re not poor, we’re not struggling. I totally get being angry at her dad for leaving all the time but for the love of god I’m getting ready to just go to the store for milk (totally a joke, but holy crap!!).
WHAT ELSE CAN I TRY?!?
I also have tried the end of day review talks about behavior and quickly she learned that if she acted out we would have talks about it every time and her brother would be ignored while she gets all the attention.
I feel like I’ve been at a breaking point for years now and I just want her to be happy. I just want her to accept that she has a brother and that will never change. They get along at times but she’s always being a brat “no that’s mine!!!” even though she brings her toys out to the main playing area and plays with his stuff nonstop… idk. Maybe I’m venting and don’t actually think anyone has any ideas. I’m worried this child might end up in a mental institution when she’s older. Worried this may be signs of a bigger issue. Hoping this is growing pains that just last an insanely long time :(

Some background: I am 31 years old, trans, queer and an immigrant from South America. My family has always been in shambles: I have a mom, an older brother (who I don’t speak to) and an uncle. My extended family has no news of me since I transitioned.
For my entire I went unheard by both parents and my feelings were always made to feel invalid. I majored in Psychology in college but never went to get a Masters (I hope to change that in the next 2 years).
I am almost 100% positive my dad is narcissistic: always wanted to control others around him, would lash out at the most insignificant things, sometimes would burst into my room looking to pick a fight and excessively punished both me and my brother if we so much as rolled our eyes at him. I remember my dad scared me so much as a 15 year old kid that I was left shaking and peeing my pants in my own room and my older brother was threatened to be fed poop.
My mom recently finalized a divorce with my dad, now having put up with his crap until both of us were grown that she escaped to our home country away from him. My dad and her offered to let me have their home (which they own) as they are moving back to the home country to retire and live off their savings. This sounded great to me at the time since living alone in NYC was expensive and I can save on rent.
Looking back on it now, this was a huge mistake leaving my rent stabilized apartment. Given that my dad still has so much stuff left in this home that they need to bring back to Bolivia in several trips, that meant he would be returning every year and stay for several months to pay his taxes and pack his stuff.
I didn’t mind it at first but lately he’s been:

1. Asking me to go out to dinner with him every weekend, despite me saying I don’t want to eat out often because I’m trying to hit my goals in the gym and would say things like “I don’t know what you’ll do when your father and mother are not here anymore”.
   
2. Offering me junk food every day and gets personally offended regardless if I say “no thank you” in a polite manner.
   
3. Would point out I have something on my face and try to use a napkin to wipe it for me (hello boundaries?!)
   
4. Go through my mail from a bank asking when the CD matured so he can add more money to my account.
   
5. Asked me to reach out to my older brother to make amends and invite him over so him and I can bury the hatchet (despite me not really caring to because he sexually abused me and my dad and him need to not involve me as the middleman). My brother never responded to my text and my dad kept asking if he did.
   

It all came to a head earlier today when my dad came into the room and then asked me if I wanted to go out for French toast at a restaurant and I said “not right now”. He left for a while before coming back to the bedroom (mind you, my door is closed and he never knocks) several times in quick succession to say the following:

1. “I forgot to tell you we aren’t going out to dinner anymore. So you can cook yourself dinner, we aren’t going out anymore since you want to be like no thank you . You and your brother are ungrateful”
   
2. “I try to be nice to you and your brother, putting you all in my will as beneficiaries but y’all are just awful ungrateful kids.”
   
3. “I’m also not going to pay my half of the rent from now on. Since you want to be a big man now, you can pay for your Master’s degree yourself, pay the entire rent even when I’m here and pay for everything. I’m not helping anymore, I’ll keep the money for myself and even throw it away than given it to you.”
   
4. “Since you like to be told things, I’m telling you now that I’ll be coming in and out of this house when I please because this house is MINE.”
   

I dealt with my dad for the longest time, even felt bad for him when he broke down to cry a few days earlier about how he wants me and my brother to have each other after he and my mom are gone because our family is in shambles from his shit. But for him to say all these things and expect me to continue to pay for the maintenance of this co-op and take the abuse, absolutely not.
This is the final straw and I’m going to have to find another place to stay which will be hard given that I live in NYC and I highly prefer to live alone. I wish I didn’t leave my 1BR situation that I paid 1.5K a month for this…
Anyways writing this out made me feel better but any advice or moral support you can give me would be very appreciated.

So i (23f) have been with this guy (25m) (lets call him K) for around 2 months, we have known each other since november last year. We unfortunately work together at the same place. He is an awesome guy, i can tell he has really strong feelings for me. I did have strong feelings for him as well. But im afraid that i am not so sure about it anymore. He was in a relationship for about 6 years before me, he loved with this girl. They broke it off around 6 months before he got to know me. I have no idea who this girl is, nor have any interest to find out, but thats besides the point. I had broken up with my boyfriend at the time 3 months ago (caught him on tinder and made up some excuse as to why he was on it) and i was honestly exploring my options after that, i wasnt expecting to be in a relationship so soon after, but it all really happened naturally.
K and i really hit it off since we got to know one another, we were attracted with eachother and i told him he was attractive and cute, and he seemed to think that of me. After around three months of knowing eachother, he asked me to be his girlfriend in a cute way, we painted, he took me to a fancy dinner, and we went back to his house (technically his mom and uncles house) and asked me to be his girlfriend. I said yes. We were all lovey dovey and such, but im afraid i no longer feel much desire for him, or anything like that. I think i was excited to feel feelings since i broke it off with the guy i was with before. K and i always laugh and joke around, i love him for his personality and energy but I dont really see a future with him. I feel horrible because i feel like i led him on, i told him i really do like him, we told eachother the “i love yous” but theres something about him that rubs me the wrong way. I dont think he takes enough accountability for himself, it seems like he doesnt have any goals or aspirations (he told me he has a job just to pay off his car note) and hes just kind of lazy.
I am visiting my parents in another country right now. I dont miss him. He says that he misses me, i tell him i do as well, because thats what bf/gfs say. I told my mon about this situation and she just wants me to be happy . I am quite happy alone. I honestly dont feel like i need or want a relationship right now because i provide for myself and i know how to make me happy. K really doesnt add or subtract from my happiness which i think a partner should add some sort of positive aspect to your life. Maybe this might be a me problem. I promised myself to not stay in a relationship if im not happy and i just dont know how to end it without it being so harsh.
Thank you for reading. Any advice will help!

Considering that Sukuna’s DE is now canonically meant to be based around cooking, with his fire ability literally called “furnace,” I decided to expand Yuji’s DE to further fit with the idea, since my idea for Yuji’s DE is to be a multi-course meal of agony, cooked by Sukuna’s torment of him.
Thus, the different traumatic events that the DE plays out are structured like a Japanese Kaiseki Ryori, or a Japanese version of a multi-course dinner.
So… Let’s begin with the appetizer:
Saizuke: This is the first dish served in a Kaiseki Ryori. It’s a very small appetizer served with sake, meant to excite the palate and get you started to eat.
In this case, the appetizer here is the death of Yuji’s parents, or more specifically, the feeling of loss that Yuji felt due to this.
He barely remembers his parents, but he still feels the grief of never getting to meet them. Furthermore, this was the first real loss that Yuji suffered due to his cursed lineage.
O-Wan: The soup dish. This is where the true skill of the chef comes out, and helps to set the tone for the rest to come.
Here, it’s the death of Yuji’s grandfather, Waisuke. This is the first MAJOR loss that Yuji suffered. While he never knew his parents, Wasuke WAS his parent and guardian throughout his life. Wasuke was his safety net, his final (or so Yuji thought) link to his family, a link that is shattered even before Yuji eats the finger.
Mukouzuke: This is the first dish to incorporate fish. It can be seen as the true first “proper” meal of a Kaiseki Ryori.
And what could this first meal be? Simple, Yuji’s first death.
Yuji was clearly terrified to die. Yet, Sukuna ripped away his heart and forced him to experience the feeling of being between life and death.
The first trauma Yuji suffers as a sorcerer, but far from the last.
Hassun: This dish helps to set the seasonal theme of the entire course. Whatever seasonal fruits or ingredients are available at the time of the meal will be served here.
So, in the context of Yuji’s life as a Jujutsu sorcerer, the ‘season’ here is the unforgiving, brutal world of Jujutsu Sorcery and the ever-lasting war against curses.
So, what sets the season here? None other than Junpei’s death.
For as traumatic as Yuji’s own death was, that was still a loss he personally suffered from himself. However, Junpei wasn’t just Yuji’s loss. It was the loss of an entirely different person. A person that Yuji couldn’t save.
It was this moment that truly instilled into him that curses like Sukuna and Mahito are just that. Curses. Beings who deserve and should die no matter what.
Yakimono: This is the grilled fish course of the dinner meal, and this is often extremely fresh fish, picked by the chef themself.
In this case, this course is by far the most agonizing one for both Yuji and the victim of his DE, it’s the entirety of the Shibuya Incident.
The fish being grilled here is also tied back to way that Sukuna and Jogo burned almost all of Shibuya to ash, like how one would cook a fish.
Also of note being grilled is Nanami, who was burned from the side.
Takiawase: This is a simple dish of vegetables, meat, fish, and tofu.
In this case, the trauma is Yuji having to watch Sukuna taking over Megumi’s body.
Gohan: If you’re paying attention, you’ll notice that there’s been a lack of rice in the previous dishes. That’s because the rice dish is often the final dish of a Kaiseki Ryori.
It’s often cooked with many different seasonings to make it stand out.
In this case, the rice dish is the current streak of tragedies that Yuji suffered from:
Gojo’s death. Higuruma’s death. Seeing Megumi at his lowest point. All of it.
However, this isn’t the final dish, after all…
What meal is complete without dessert?
Mizugashi: The final meal of a Kaiseki Ryori. It’s the dessert course. It often includes fresh fruit (its name is the archaic Japanese word for ‘fruit’) but can include things like sorbet or ice cream.
Unlike the previous courses, which were about forcing the victim to suffer Yuji’s trauma, this course instead has the victim stand motionless on the floor, and then…
It allows Yuji to preform a BARRAGE of black flashes, all at 100% cursed energy output, and all GUARANTEED to land.
Basically, imagine the seven page muda from JoJo, except EVERY SINGLE punch is the 100% black flash that destroyed Mahito back in Shibuya.
This, btw is how Yuji kills Sukuna.
Simply put, not only is this attack the first ever instance of black flashes happening on command, but it’s such a devastating attack that it’s literally IMPOSSIBLE to survive.
You can’t cast simple domain, you can’t use rct, all you can do is SOMEHOW try to survive.
So… Yeah. Because of this, Yuji Itadori’s Domain Expansion becomes literally the single most powerful domain expansion in all of jujutsu. Once you’re trapped, unless someone from outside breaks the barrier, you’re dead.
Hope you enjoyed, see ya’ll.

So me (23M) and my girlfriend (22F) have been dating for about a year and not once have I asked to meet her parents but she’s asked me. I’ll admit the idea of meeting her parents kinda frightened me because she’s told me that her parents are very strict but after a while of her asking me to meet her parents I finally said yes. We moved in together after about 5 months into the relationship and we have a very nice house (I work a high-paying job) and we agreed to her parents coming over and having dinner and we planned everything out great. Made food, left the house spotless and I even planned what I was going to say to them. Cue to her parents finally coming over and they were very strict like my girlfriend said, even in a house that wasn’t theirs. They demanded for drinks to be served and didn’t even bother to take their shoes off inside my house (I asked them kindly to) and when it was time to eat they began nitpicking things to complain about (food being too hot, tasting bland and even straight up criticizing my cooking) and when I thought it was their time to leave they began talking about how it was their right to stay in my home for 5 days. I told them that it wasn’t and they walked into my room and my girlfriend’s father tried to close my own door on me and I threatened to call the cops, which made them get out the room and instead decide to start using my TV and lay their legs over my living room table. I began yelling at them to get out of my house (my girlfriend tried to get me to calm down and defended her parents in some occasions) and I threatened to call the cops, to which they responded by threatening to call the cops on ME instead. I started recording using my phone and they tried to knock the phone off my hands but I recorded them from a distance and finally made them leave. The same night as we were going to bed my girlfriend said she wanted some space to which I obliged and slept on the couch. I’m kinda worried because this is the same woman that I was planning to marry, and I might’ve blew it.
TL;DR: My girlfriend’s crazy parents refused to leave my house after treating me and my home like shit, so I yelled at them and recorded them to get them to leave which made my girlfriend want space away from me for a couple of days.

I got banned from Lemmy servers for "CSAM" all because of this: the Napalm Girl pic and another thing I saw on Inside Edition's channel in addition to some nude statures - literally artwork of naked people - all because I was trying to protest the inconsistencies of censorship towards the female human - regardless of their race and age!
Let me be clear on one thing: I didn't post any "CSAM" on the Lemmy servers! I'm protesting something that I feel is unfair towards the female human.
~Please actually watch these before jumping to conclusions so you can actually understand what I’m really protesting!~
Women Who Were Told Their Outfits Were ‘Too Revealing’
Mom Says She Was Kicked Out of Gym For Revealing Tank Top: I Felt Humiliated
Cops Dragged Woman Off Beach After Complaint About Her Bikini
It’s one thing to say a girl’s outfit or body is “too revealing”,
Teens React After Yearbook Photos Are ‘Modesty Edited’
it’s two things to photoshop out a girl’s cleavage to make her look “modest” for a yearbook or a portrait!
9-Year-Old Saves Family From House Fire (you'll need to find this on YouTube yourself)
But censoring a topless preteen girl who thought up an ingenious strategy to stay cool like her friends in the same stuffy room while at the same time not caring who’s around her? THAT’S REALLY CROSSING THE LINE!
It's all thanks to some videos from Inside Edition's YouTube Channel.All these videos Inside Edition posted are developing a question in my mind that's getting the better of me: ~why so much hate on the female human - even as children?~ Like, why do they censor the little girl's chest? Can't anybody learn to appreciate the appearance of the female body?
And ~what's the big deal with nipples?~ I'm just trying to ensure everyone is treated equally regardless of race, and gender... AND age (after what I just witnessed). And if no one's gonna speak up about this, I might as well step up to the plate. After all, somebody's got to do it!
That little girl in the final video made two non-verbal messages clear: one: if a boy can do it, then so can a girl! And two: no one is too young for anything! As long as you have the knowledge capacity and I.Q level to do it properly and safely, you'll be fine. I was able to refuel my dad's car and cook my own dinner when I was 6 and without setting anything ablaze by accident.
However, when I try to illustrate with that video, even though Inside Edition is an official news channel, the responses I get back are rather ~bitter!~ They remove my post or ban me from the sites I post on for "promoting nudity involving a minor"!
~WHERE~
~CAN~
~I~
~ASK~
~OR~
~SHARE~
~THIS~
~SUBJECT?!~
Due to my autism, I only know basic English. So I need to illustrate to get most of my messages through. I thought hard, I tried, and low and behold, they were removed hours later mainly because they "didn't fit the subject of the forum". Even though my multi-subject based thread does have some material relating to this forum's topic. These sites and mods are all really stretching my problem solving skills beyond the breaking point for this one. I'm merely protesting with these pictures and videos as illustration. I'm not that good with words, so I need pictures to get half my messages across as noted above.
Many subreddits or forum sites don’t accept URLs, pictures, specific website URLs, or even a combination! Thereby hindering my ability to fully explain what I’m witnessing! In this case, the sentences “It’s one thing to say a girl’s outfit is ‘too revealing’, it’s two things to photoshop out a girl’s cleavage to make her look ‘modest’ for a yearbook.” actually corresponded to several videos I beared witness to on Inside Edition’s YouTube channel.
I actually tried to post that URL with that blurred 9yo girl in a subreddit in the past and you won’t believe this: I actually lost my reddit account for 2 days for “promoting nudity involving a minor”! Other sites like the adult video forums who accept uncensored nudity-based images I mentioned just delete my thread! Another site I recall banned me for 1 year for “spam” - even though I only made this protest post twice (after they removed it once).
So that meant I had to approach this from a different angle: after that experience, I got a little paranoid from using that said video URL to illustrate. So I tried explaining this protest without the URLs - and this is in conjunction with certain sites restricting my ability to post images, URLs, certain site URLs, or a combination. It seemed to end up making things worse! Because without the visual evidence, it makes it much harder to fully explain what I’m witnessing.
So without the URLs included - that visual illustration, on the sites I tried along with Lemmy World, it actually made things worse! That’s what lead Lemmy.World mods to ban me for life for “CSAM” or made other people think I watched child porn when I clearly didn’t. The lack of visual evidence (due to my past reddit experience combined with the site’s posting restrictions) is what lead to this “pedophile” confusion. So please help me talk some sense into the Lemmings world, Lemmy.ml, and Lemmy.world mods that this was all a major misunderstanding and Lemmy is pretty much the only reddit alternative out here where I can try asking another question. My attempt to appeal has failed on 3 sites - even after I tried notifying the mods on the third Lemmy server site before making the post, so I need your help now!
I felt after Inside Edition uploaded that blurred 9yo girl video… I thought to myself “That’s the last straw!” Someone needs to protest these absurd censorship laws that they apply to the female human!
Why can males show most of their body but females can’t? - In most cases that is? Whatever happened to "Free The Nipple"?
Children should have the same… rights to do things as any adult! It’s about possessing the knowledge capacity and I.Q level to safely execute this action. E.G, on those “Family Day” episodes of The Price is Right and Let’s Make a Deal; those kids made smart choices when picking the correct numbers to items to win a prize.
I’m not joking around here! This type of treatment towards the female human needs to stop - this includes race and age. - It’s like racist people, but in age form.
Does it look like I’m laughing for fun? Of course not! Since no one else is protesting this, and YouTube has a flawed comment moderating system hindering my ability to post on even random videos (I.E, "ghosting"), I have to take more drastic measures to protest by stepping up to the plate and shouting out “Can’t we all be equal in terms of a huge variety of traits?” Yeah, the last thing I need is a vein-bleeding broken-record robot impeding or hindering my ability to seek answers to a question!
We need to learn to appreciate or accept how the female body appears regardless of race and age! Stop trying to blame it all on me! None of the stuff in the vids posted, is that. If it was, Inside Edition would be the guilty party, and Youtube for not having already deleted them. If it doesn’t violate Youtube’s TOS, it should be fine to post anywhere. If there was even a hint of impropriety to it, at the minimum the vid would have been age restricted.
No one would answer! Not even Inside Edition themselves were willing to offer an answer when I even found their email address, the sites dedicated to helping those in mental, suicidal, or emotional distress (those forum sites even PERMA-banned me for "spam" - that's right, SPAM! (Even though ~there was absolutely no mention of a permanent ban or rule about "spam" in their forum guidelines!~) Is that the definition of "spam" when I make a bad thread only once?! And when I try to appeal the ban, the same message "please contact the administrator if it was done in error" is blocking my ability to click the contact button! Or sometimes it's a blank white page with that message in the top left corner of the window! - Which adds more insult to injury, because I can't click anything as all the buttons have disappeared! That means I can't log out of that site either!), OR the adult video forums that support uncensored nudity images would accept that video link URL let alone the entire topic itself! So ~I really am at a loss for thoughts and words on what I just experienced!~ Heck, I even tried the professional therapists of talkingforchange.ca But even they too were too reluctant to talk as they claim my post regarding the censorship of women is not for their platform and they disconnected the chat 2 seconds after their last reply to me. And I highly doubt that ANY site will allow me to illustrate with a picture of the Napalm Girl (Phan Thi Kim Phuc) when she was 9, certain pictures of Pampers diaper boxes, Leela when she was an infant in the episode Leela's Homeworld, or even Belgium's famous kids: Manneken Pis/Jeanneke Pis. That, combined with ~YouTube having a flawed comment moderating system hindering my ability to post comments on certain-to-random videos (I.E, "ghosting")~, I'm forced to take more drastic measures to get my messages across.
But here's a strange catch: sometimes on some sites, Napalm Girl is censored, other sites she isn't. So I felt that I need to protest this.It seems everyone is too chicken to even start this subject! Don't these numbskulls know not to judge a book by it's cover?! This is where I ask myself "NOW WHAT?!". This can't be one of those "exceptional" cases where they say "suicide never solves anything" doesn't apply to these types of situations. In other words, all hope for resolving these types of situations ~really is lost~. I really do feel left in the dark on both the subject of sound effects and nudity!
Once more, I'm not being a ped, I'm protesting all these absurd censorship rules and regulations that revolve around the female human - regardless of race and age - after what Inside Edition posted. Watch the videos I found again for clarification. In other words, the inconsistencies of female human censorship.
Can you really - you know, hurl insults at Inside Edition or blast them for what they did? It was their idea to publicly publish the footage. Just like how that one photographer made the choice to publicly publish footage of the Napalm Girl when she was 9 and completely nude. Therefore, it should be ok to share this footage anywhere.
But some areas censored Napalm Girl's nipples, but others did not - excluding her groin. Then there's the diaper boxes I found in any supermarket. And finally... Surprise surprise: typical women being scolded by other people for wearing something "inappropriate" or "showing too much of their body". I look around and since no one else is protesting about this, I might as well do it! After all, someone's gotta step up to the plate to hit that ball! I will not sit idling by the sidelines and continue to watch the female human get treated/censored like this! I will step up, stand up, and speak out towards these absurd reactions, rules, and regulations that revolve around the appearance and censorship of the female body!

Hi- I am looking for ideas of activities for my son (8) and his friends when they come over to our house (usually for sleepovers, so longer periods of time). My son is very social and always has a friend spend the night on Fridays. I always try to plan some sort of activity outside of the home even if it’s just going to a restaurant for dinner, but I need some ideas for things they (or we) can do at the house once they’ve played with all of our toys, ridden all of our bikes and scooters, and burned themselves out on gaming and playing outside. We’ve done things like tie dye, fort building, learned how to use a pottery wheel and made bowls and cups, even made beaded bracelets for their baseball team. These boys are at the perfect age where no activity is “too girly”, crafts re still fun, and they haven’t decided that Mom is uncool, so I want to capitalize on that and also keep them busy so that the bickering stays minimal. Plus, summer is coming and i know the sleepovers will be more frequent (I don’t let my son do sleepovers at other kids houses) and having a go to list of ideas will be helpful for all of us just trying to enjoy having our kids at home while it lasts.

What a miserable morning out there in the land of freedom. Garden in here is flooded and woke up to the noise of the rain hitting the window. It just puts you in a grim mood. Wont be going down for breakfast as it consists of 2 cold slices of toast and a small scoop of cold beans, delicious right!
Has a legal meeting this morning and they told me that because I had savings and assets etc I have to pay the £8k bill. Well I can assure you that my savings have diminished since being in here so lets have a rethink about this shall we.
My solicitor also told me that the Police officer who charged me was also in court but I didn’t see him. He was a complete dick of a man. Apparently he is not happy with my sentence and the fact that CPS lowered my charge. He has said that he wants to relook through the case and my personal devices just in case he has missed something and he is wanting my PIN codes.
Solicitor told me not to give them to him as he has no reason to go through anything again, or even speak to witnesses as the case has been closed. If he wants to go through them then he can send them off which will cost £3000 per item. He will soon realise it’s a waste of his time and im 100% confident with that.
She said with that, he could if he wanted to then charge me with failing to provide PIN codes.
So I said im not failing to give them, I just don’t remember then. Ill provide numbers if he wants, just unsure if they will be correct….
Had a nice chat with J this morning and he said his pad made got woken up early, given 20 mins to pack his belongings and they shipped him to Doncaster. Fuck that shit. Id put razors in my mouth like the other boys do and refuse to go. Apparently try if you do that then they won't ship you or wrestle with you due to the risks involved, so it's a common thing g to do. But Doncaster - That’s hours away from family and friends – no thank you Mr Governor – Shove it up your arse. J is still finding it hard so he went over to see his ex padmates ‘boyfriend’ and brokedown to him yesterday. Ah crikey, alarm bells. J will be bum raped next. His ex padmates boyfriend is a crazy idiot who grooms people with food and chocolate in return for sexual favours. I like J and I know how vunerable he is, I cant be allowing that to happen.
As im writing this football is on and we have just scored. The prison has just gone crazy., doors being banged and kicked, loads of shouting, music gets blasted. Its like hooligan central.
I think all the excitement has happened on block 1 today though as the alarms have been going crazy. All you can hear is security calling for the officers to respond on the radios. ‘To respond to block 1. PC05, PC07, PC02, PC03 and PC09’ The officers hear their identity numbers and go from a casual walk to a full on sprint towards the gates yelling for people to move out of the way.
Think they are all still fully alart though as 3 days before I came to block 2, ‘Crazy C’ was moved wings and ended up stabbing an officer in the face missing his eye by millimetres. He has now been shipped out.
In the cell now and waiting for the Selby boxing match to start.
So watching the fight and I said ‘Gosh the Mexican boxer looks really small and slim compared to the average boxer’ to which my fuckwit of a prick cell mate gives a standard racist response. ‘All Mexicans are. That’s why you see them trying to get into America for food and a better life’.
What kind of twat says these things? Where is his mind at? Seriously! So naturally I have another go at him. I cant help myself. It went something like this. ‘Firstly I wasn’t saying he was malnourished or looked hungry, but most boxing fights I have seen are of big muscly men. Secondly, you’re a stupid uneducated mother fucking racist shit and I just want to throw your head against the wall and watch you bounce off it. You really irritate me’.
Im not a violent person in general but his stupidity and idiotic views make me like this. I just cant sit back and leave him say things like that and I think its OK, because its not. He is a massive racist and that annoys me. Think my face is coming back to its normal colour now and not so red.
Called my dad and asked him if he was watching the boxing. I said im shouting at the TV as if Selby can hear me – then I hung up on him as the fight started again. I have no idea what im talking about but right now I think im the commentator.

Hi guys, I know it is probably my insecurity.
We've been seeing each other for 2 months now. So far, I've been coming to his place frequently every weekend.
In the recent weeks, I've seen ripples between us where he started to see/perceive me negatively and it has taken a toll on me and the relationship. He also asked that we limit our time seeing each other. So previously the whole weekend but now just on Saturday. He said he wants us to slow down. But I still want to build a relationship with this guy somehow. We have our fair share of happy moments as well. And I'm not saying he's all bad.
But he has been pinning and pointing a lot in our argument/"discussion" of the so called faults on me. He used a lot of negative words like inconsiderate, drama queen, bad at communication, too submissive etc. And I wouldnt say anything to hurt him and only said sorry and I will work on improving myself.
So, it's 6am now and I dont know why I'm up suddenly from my sleep and feeling insecure. I dont know if what I said above even mean anything to my question tbh.
But this week, while we drove back to his place after dinner, he said something like I cant recall the specific words he used here (cause they can indicate time) but I think he used "was" or was it "am" cant remember.
So he said, "I was seeing this guy twice in xxx (pause for a long bit)...well it was a year ago after I broke up...yada yada."
The reason for the pause and justification of time after were because the place he mentioned is just few minutes drive away. And I also happened to know he frequented there to get something all the time.
He has said previously while we are still in this seeing each other phase that he never removed all the gay apps while I did out of respect to him and my fair share of commitment to this relationship im trying to build with him. We both agree that we want a relationship.
There was also a time when we spent the night away another guy from the app texted him and he had to explain oh I recently knew this guy from the app. And he said oh I think this guy is cute and he even offerred to help me fixing my car when it broke down before. When I was the one who came to the spot the moment his car broke down (not fixing it but).
I hate to say this but he also likes to compliment other guys and talk about other guys and what he likes about them in our talk. He would look at a shirtless random guy and said to me ohh he's hot. And often ask me dont you think so? In my eyes all I'm seeing is he's hot and nobody else.
Do you guys think he's loyal? I had a crazy idea now and it's not cool and I wouldnt do it but im so insecure now like i want to turn on his iphone at night while he's asleep and just be done with it. Fuck that's awful to do but..

I would like to keep this as short as possible, but it’s gonna be challenging. Just to be clear, I did my very best to protect the identity of the people involved in this.
I am a (28 yo) transgender woman. My father was 25 years older than my mom and had a son for his previous marriage, who is around 20 years older than me, so I was basically brought up as an only child. My step brother was more of an uncle than a brother to me.
My cousin (M 31 yo) was very close to me when we were growing up. For the purpose of this post, I will call him John. He was always my protector and ally. When we were teenagers, we even have sort of an affair. I know I am going to be judged for it, but it is not something I regret.
My family was quite conservative, so having a transgender child was quite hard for my parents, specially for my mother. I expressed very early on that I was a girl, quite openly and head-strongly too, so by the time I reached puberty, my dad was completely open-minded to it. It took more time for my mom, but she eventually came to terms with it and became my ally.
About two years ago, John announced he would marry his fiancée, Mary. I was happy for him, although I must confess I never liked her very much. I felt she was a snob and phony.
For full disclosure, I always felt very possessive of him, so I didn’t like most of his girlfriends, and there were quite a few of them. I did however liked his previous girlfriend from the get go. We are still friends. So all this may have added up. Nevertheless, we were cordial to each other whenever we met, so I didn’t think much of it.
Everything went a usual until the wedding. Before the wedding, they approached me at a family dinner. They asked me if it was possible for me to use a suit instead of a dress. I was so shocked and hurt I could only remain silent. She then added trying to soften the blow, I guess, that it was because politicians were going to assist and this could put her on an awkward position. She works on a public office runs by a far right party. When I regain my composure, I said to them that if that was the case, it might be best if I did not attend the wedding. I even offered to make up a story why I couldn’t and stick to it. In that way, no-one else would be involved. She then stated that I was being unreasonable.
I could tell that my cousin felt unease about the whole situation. My impression was that he really wanted me there and that this was his way to find common ground with her. Although I felt completely disrespected and hurt, I agree to attend in a man suit.
I feel I must also clarify that I have been living as a woman from the time I was 17 years old, so most people only know me as a woman. Although what I am about to say should not make a difference, most people do not even notice I am transgender. So I couldn’t even comprehend why she thought it was a good idea for me to attend on a suit.
My mother and John’s parents were livid when they found out about it. I just wanted the whole thing over and done, so I asked them to go with it.
The wedding came. I did not attend the religious ceremony. I know John was hurt by this, but that he understood. The suit I wore was made by my family’s tailor, a very sweet who was extremely supportive and helpful during this awful situation.
I confess this was petty of me, but when our tailor suggested to go Marlene Dietrich with the suit, I couldn’t help but agreeing. They could not say it was not a man suit, but when I watched myself in the mirror I was myself, a quite attractive woman in a man suit. I put almost no make up on, just an almost invisible base and my hair was tied into a bum on the back of my head.
My cousin embrace me and told me he was happy I was there, but I could tell Mary was not happy about my look, although she didn’t say anything.
By this time, I was fed up with the whole situation. So I when Mary’s brother (Max, 23 yo) started to flirt with me, I encouraged him. We ended up making out and we appear on one of the wedding pictures. He is kissing me and my back is to the camera, so from the angle the picture was taken it seems two men are kissing. This was not done on purpose, but when later on Max told me about it, I could not help but laugh. Max is very sweet, and we continue to fool around every now and then after that, which I can imagine does not please his sister.
After the wedding my mother and I begun avoiding the couple. I still feel betray and disrespected by John and just meeting him hurts. When his son was born, five months after the wedding I may add, I did not go the hospital. I told him I would met the baby later when they were less stress, which I did. Just to add an extra detail, when I met the baby, Mary did not want any picture with me and his baby on social media. Although it was not stated as explicitly, we all knew I was the issue.
Last week, I received an invitation to attend the baby Christening. I answered on the spot explaining “I would not able to attend due to personal reasons”. A couple of days later, John called me and ask me why. We had quite a heated argument over the phone, which was completely out of character for both of us. We seldom raise our voices or make crass remarks, and we both did. He accused me of encourage Max at the wedding just to get back at Mary. This is partially true I must admit. He went on to say that I also made my figure more noticeable under the suit and that it made my boobs more apparent. At that point I completely lost it and say “I don’t remember you have any trouble with my body when you F***** me”. After that we went both silent for a moment. I understood there was no coming back from that, so I said to him “I love you. I always will. I will always treasure you as my closest friend, but after everything that happened I don’t think is healthier for us to remain in each other’s life. It might be best we part ways. Who knows…. Maybe in time…”
He kept silent. Knowing him as I do, I think he was about to cry and that is why he did not venture to answer. I ended up hanging up.
After that my aunt tried for me to change my mind, but I explained to her that I did not feel welcome by her to their lives and to pretend would be to put an extra stress for everyone. Although most of my family understands where I am coming from , I do feel a little guilty. AITA in this situation?

My soon to be fiancée’s family is dysfunctional. When we lived in the same state as them they expected myself & my bf to come every single Sunday for dinner. Despite being in college and working, and despite after graduating my teaching job which made me want to rest Sundays. Constant phone calls from his mom, etc.
I truly think his family are narc’s and have severe mental health issues and codependency that they absolutely refuse to work on. They demonize therapy, and sweep all of the issues under the rug.
Since we’ve moved states it’s gotten a little bit better. However, recently his father has been acting out due to years of alcoholism and not getting help. His grown adult sister still lives with my bf’s parents, and also refuses to get help for her issues, work a real job, or do anything to help herself out of that situation has been seriously involving us in all of this stress and expecting my boyfriend to fix this issue for her. “talk to mom and dad”, “idk where I’m staying tonight”, “what do I do” Mind you, she’s 27 years old.
My bf and I have had our own issues this past year & are finally getting to a better place and engaged soon. However, even living in another state his family’s issues are dragging us down. His sister wants to come live with us “temporarily” which I see no point in. In my opinion she needs to get a full time job, go to school, or at least one of those two things and make a plan to move out.
When I mentioned the job idea to her she said she’d rather do DoorDash because of the “taxes” that are taken out of checks at a private sector type of job are a lot more. Like what? That didn’t even make sense to me. Instacart and DoorDash also take out taxes, but isn’t it all at once at end of the year? She can’t afford her car payment on her own, rent, or her phone bill. But somehow still justifies working DoorDash instead of finding a real job. I also told her getting a 9-5 and enrolling in college would help her to be at home less. She can’t fix her parents issues anymore than we can, but keeps involving herself in their issues and is at home most of the time so is being severely affected by it. Coming here would jsut be a temporary escape & we’d be financially responsible for her as well for god knows how long. It’s no REAL solution.
How can I stay out of this? I no longer have any desire to visit them for Christmas- apart from my own family. I hate how they fat shame my boyfriend, but also expect him to answer every call when they call even though they never consider our schedule or the time difference. I’m so over his entire family. I also see it affecting him negatively. His sister cannot move here, but I don’t know how to stay out of it-his mom guilts him and then we argue about it. His mom and sister both tirelessly call my boyfriend about his alcoholic father, and expect him to do something about it which I think is just crazy.

I've been generally lucky, in the sense I don't get after meal spikes even eating things I used to eat. Pasta with protein, I can even have a piece of pizza without spiking as long as I eat some salad with protein with it. I can even have a bite of dessert after a dinner out, if I keep my dinner high protein. All of this to say I CANT wait to eat naked carbs again. I was such a sweet/carb girl. I just want a double chocolate chip muffin for breakfast or a bowl of cinnamon toast crunch 😫 and oh boy do I miss gooey thick chocolate chip cookies and I could house 4 or 5 of them for a snack. I even froze a good chunck of my baby shower cake to enjoy after the baby, vanilla with cookies and cream filling. That's it, rant over 🫢

Hi everyone Sorry for my bad English but I'm not native speaker and I'm very young so I'm still learning. I'm here bc I need to vent٫ and I want to keep this account dissociated from my online persona and others account. I need to vent all this issues here bc I don't want to bother ppl IRL and my parents aren't letting me to see a therapist again (it cost a lot here) So I (14f) suffer from social anxiety٫ since last year٫ but I didn't realized until I started highschool. For who's wondering my whole middle school experience was bad٫ I had two close friends in elementary school٫ AP who moved during quarantine and I never saw her again and my current bff who we'll call Becky. Becky and I attended the same class in middle school٫ I have always been a quiet shy kid but I get excited during social interaction and maybe a little annoying and hyperactive٫ I struggled to talk with my classmates but I tried to interact a bit with them but after getting ignored and greeted with eye rolls for a few times I stopped. I was so blind that I didn't notice the red flags until really directly hit me. they where not only ignorant but also mean and careless regards other's feelings; there was this guy٫ let's call him Matthew٫ whose wasn't really liked by others٫ he wasn't brilliant or beautiful ( neither where they ) so he was cruelty teased; for example he was born in April in day x٫ my classmates used to say " Mathew٫ you aren't born on day x of April٫ you are born on April's fools day ٫ you are a nature's fool!" and I٫ the little shit I was٫ I laughed٫ yeah I don't know why٫ maybe I didn't wanted them to tease me too. I didn't spoke much with them the next year٫ I was becoming kinda like an otaku٫ and I heard many people joke about otakus so I didn't wanted to be a target. But apparently I couldn't escape what destiny wanted for me. I had an over night school trip around the end of the second year٫ and the last day of the trip was my birthday. I was so happy٫ me and my bestie where starting to talk with one of the girls in our class and the trip was amazing. so on the second evening I decided for dinner to dress nice and put a little make up٫ and take off my glasses (wich I never done at school ) I had fun that evening but next day٫ except Becky٫ no one remembered my birthday٫ I was a little upset but I let it slide since I don't like too many attentions( it was also Mathew's birthday and I was the only one who remembered ) the real incident happened around a week later during PE We where playing hockey ( without ice ) and my other female classmate blamed me for every single thing and screamed at me in a way that٫ i swear٫ made them identical to Cinderella's stepsisters٫ and then mocked me in the clanging room. This happen two times. I tried to ignore the feeling trying to convince my self that I was exaggerating but when Mom picked me up from school after the second episode٫ she noticed that I was upset and I told her everything. she was mad and called the teachers ٫ and unexpectedly they immediately sided with me. they all apologized to me saying that they felt pressured by the other class. I forgave them and moved on. but the next year one of my other classmates٫ let's call her Sharon٫ started to treat me like crap. For some content I lost touch with the classmate(Tania) me and my best friend where talking with( it didn't work ) She was friend with Sharon Sharon used to like manga and dress alternative in the first two years but then she stopped٫ I admired her bc I liked her ability to do not care about grades or other's opinion which I don't have. Well the issue is that one day during PE (yes AGAIN!) I accidentally hit Tania while running and didn't notice in the rush. She told me after we finished the exercise and I apologized Later Sharon came to me and aggressively told me that I should leave her friends alone٫ I was shocked and later apologized again to Tania. The very next day Sharon failed a math oral test and she approached me during the break when there where few people around menacing me saying that if I dared again to laugh at her mistakes she would teach a lesson to me and my little friend٫ no you didn't missed anything while reading this٫ I neither had any idea about what she was even talking about٫ I didn't wanted to be a crybaby and going to the teachers again was not an option for me. So after school I approached her and with all my courage I told her that if she bothered me again I would fix her and her little friends and then I called her the b word and gave her the middle finger٫ So she started screaming " try it you piece of sh!t!!" so guess what terrorized me did ? I run away faster I could٫ and waited for my mom to come and pick me up at the usual spot٫ while her in her car passed in front of me screaming " you piece of shit !". Mom was proud of me but said that I could have avoided cursing٫ but they do it all the time anyway. Thinking I did something wrong I asked Tania if I did something to offend them and that in case I done I surely did I unintentionally and that I was sorry٫ the answer shocked me: apparently me and my best friend where cringe and this was the reason they where mistreating me٫ also I forgot to mention that my beloved best friend Becky is neurodivergent٫ and even if she doesn't want others to know it٫ my classmate basically know that she's extra protected and they can't touch her directly- after that episode I started having daily panic attract and had to attend therapy ( hell the best thing I done in my whole life) until the end of the school year I became friends with one of my classmate who was ostracized after becoming friend with Mathew and discovered a lot of things I didn't know about the other's There is a lot of other things to say about them but maybe I'll wrote them in another post bc I'm tired So let's skip to the important part which start during the school prom; I wanted chat with some people I already met from other classes٫ but I couldn't I was so fucking anxious٫ so much٫ too much٫ I was already imagining a conversation between me and them ending disastrously٫ in the end Becky approached them and helped me to start a chat This summer at same story with the kids from the Holliday's village ( not sure about the right term) just this time my best friend wasn't here and I ended up alone. when I started highschool ٫ even though my classmates where nicer٫ I couldn't I couldn't speak with them٫ I felt too anxious٫ like every morning٫ every afternoon٫ constantly in fear. I just wanted to go to sleep and never wake up again. last week panic attack started to show up again. i really want to to my classmates and cry٫ tell them all I have repressed for months Tomorrow is my 15th birthday and I want to approach them. any advice ? please help me I don't wanna end up bullied again

hi, I hope this post is ok for this subreddit because I know the other one is going to tell me I’m already doing enough and that it’s fine. after learning more about the harms of these products, I want to do better and stop giving them money when possible.
I have both physical disabilities (I can list these if you need the context, I just don’t want to come off annoying) and diet limitations that often leave me having sleep for dinner when I plan to cook a real meal. I don’t want this to be an excuse for buying food that causes harm.
I’ve been getting Yofiit chickpea milk and Sperri meal replacements, which as far as I can tell are decent companies?
I’m mainly looking to replace JustEgg, Daiya mac, and Beyond burgers. the Beyond burgers already don’t feel great because of the fat content, but they’ve been an easy way to get protein and calories. Or just any recipes that you have found doable with very low energy to make ahead of time and freeze.
I’m in canada. soy-free is the most annoying but strict limitation, low fat is ideal, high calorie is ideal, high sodium is ideal. I do see a registered dietitian regularly so I’ll be able to run ideas by her.
I’d really appreciate any advice/ideas/help, thank you in advance 💗💗 of course I am also looking into this myself, but it would help to have input from people who have already gone through similar.

My family and I are going on our first solo camping trip. We have always gone before with friends who are better versed than we are and do most of the cooking. This time we are going on our own and my kiddos are interested in moving beyond our standard hot dogs and pancakes.
Would love to hear your favorites.
Pertinent details: We have the fire and cast iron pan, but also a two burner coleman butane stove, so we have options.
Our family is two adults and three kids, 8, 10, and 12. No dietary restrictions.
Both of us are competent cooks in general, BUT because this is a first for us, simplicity is valued.
Trip is two nights, three days, but we are planning on sandwiches or similar (no cooking) for lunches. So two dinners, two breakfasts.
Pinterest has given me lots of ideas, so just trying to get input from people who do this all the time.

Ill give some context here. Ever since I was little my mom has had all sorts of boyfriends, all alcoholics for some reason. When I was a little girl I’d always have to wait till my mom got home and hide in my room because he was angry over anything (I wasn’t allowed to go use the bathroom for example if we were playing outside and if i didn’t prove that I used the bathroom i wasnt allowed dinner) and they all got mad at me for snitching to my mom because she’d always take my side. Now today my little brother (10) had a sleepover in the living room and we all know sleepovers are messy lmao. I was making myself breakfast but when I heard them say it smelled good I felt happy and made them french toast too and they were very grateful. Now my mom’s at work right? yeah. Her boyfriend marches up the stairs and starts getting angry at my brother the living room is messy whatever, then when he sees me cooking he gets angry its a mess. By mess it means the ingredients are out and theres cinnamon on the counter because im making the boys french toast. He starts angry cleaning slamming everything taking my ingredients putting them away even threw out the eggs I just cracked? He was muttering something i didnt pay attention to but as he was slamming doors getting angry at everyone I started shaking and feeling bad for the visitor cause who wouldn’t feel uncomfortable? I texted my mom saying his behaviour is immature and how he shouldnt be acting like this let alone in front of a guest just because hes mad. I finished the boys’s food and go to my room because i cant be around the boyfriend anymore. I hear him getting angry shit talking me for snitching to my mom, I opened my door and said “Excuse me? quit being immature over nothing”. he gets angry and goes to the kitchen afterwards and yelled “you know im paying for your trip not your dad” What the fuck? I dont care if you bought my a damn house you dont get to act like this? Im grateful for the trip as its a thousand dollars to go to toronto with the school, I had already saved up for it with my own money but for christmas since we werent poor anymore my mom said she wanted to pay for my trip because “You deserve it and Im proud of you” as i went from failing classes and skipping school to getting 90% or more in school. I was obviously grateful so why would he have the audacity to bring up the trip let alone my dad? My dad who’s fyi more of a man than he’ll ever be. He communicates and would never treat me like this? anyway I yell “I dont care!” from my room because I dont. pay for my trip or dont youre still being a jackass? you cant use money against me? anyway he starts telling my brother who sees him as his real dad and starts telling him that hes never coming back and that hes gonna separate with my mom. I get angry because why would he involve him in this hes just a kid and his friend is RIGHT there? I leave my room and tell him to stop causing a scene in front of his friend and that hes being immature. He then gets angrier and tells me “Were getting a divorce because of YOU”. My brother is crying at this point and when i went to get him to comfort him he screams at me “go away this is your fault!”. That honestly broke me a little. He didnt deserve this he didnt know whats happening but he blamed me. I left and cried to my room calling my grandma to pick me up as shes the only one along w my grandpa who i can vent about the stepdad to. Felt a lot better coming home and when I did he tells me “im really sorry about this morning i really am”. The audacity? hes caused fits like this so many times and just tries buying me off? he once ran away cause my mom yelled at him for getting a dui. he wants to adopt my brother but runs off everytime theres a conflict? His apologies mean nothing to me anymore. Fyi im turning seventeen in October. Im not a troubled teen who disrespects her parents but today I snapped. AITA?
