I'm a 36G and wear the bra because it's super annoying to have them sway when I walk. That's the main reason for me. I find it more comfortable to be braless, but I really shouldn't do it in public. It's attracts more attention than I usually want.

Can some ELI5 Taylor Swift drama? I haven't listener to her since middle school, and my sister's keep trying to tell me what's up but I have no context.

Hi! The proposal itself should be a surprise, but the fact you are proposing should not. You and your partner should discuss marriage and be on the same page on what you want from the relationship before you take that step.

Love. Love. Love. The single shoulder black dress with the fishnets! Pair that with some heels that match the same shade as your lipstick πŸ’„ and you will be fire! πŸ”₯πŸ”₯ My best friend is gender fluid and I have given them many clothes over the years. I love people supporting others πŸ’— like this.

Also your hair looks good and healthy!

I can't set a reminder. It was all I used the damn thing for before.

Google set a reminder

Nope now it won't Whats the point ugh

2 for sure one has a confusing mouth-stache

If you aren't creative enough to get off, then sex with you is probably useless too. πŸ€·πŸΌβ€β™€οΈ

But lame ass roasting aside, being responsible during sex is important. Being able to communicate your wants and needs is absolutely necessary. I'll tell you that I also hated condoms during sex, but it took being with my partner about six months before I felt comfortable enough to bring up a discussion about having sex without condoms. We then talked about the risks of accidental pregnancy, STDs, and my hormones and birth control. In the long term, the time period we used condoms was worth it because we learned each other's bodies, as well as each other's personalities. Once we did move to sex without condoms, it was sooooo much better, but we also were better communicators and the sex was wayyy more fun.

You have to be willing to put in the time and effort and trust that leads to a real connection first.

I live in socal and it's super dry right now and HOT. The next city over is doing a "fireworks and night of destruction" tomorrow. I know it's unlikely but I hope their fireworks were in that seizure.

I'm all down for a night of destruction, but the fireworks right now is suchhh an easy way to start a wild fire. There's already been a few small ones this past month.

You know there are vibes that link up to a phone for control via Bluetooth. I wonder if there would be a way to make one of those link up to a video game now? Seems fun πŸ€­πŸ€”

Unions only work when union leadership is actually working for the betterment of the entire unit, rather than personal clout. I was in a union that ran well, protected employees, and had a great working relationship with management. Issues were handled efficiently and effectively with the contract in place. Then union leadership changed because a retiree rallied to become president, and the effective president stopped trying so hard because of it. So leadership changed and that union went downhill. Current leadership handles issues so poorly, nothing gets resolved and raises are not going to be as high as they could have been negotiated too. The current leadership values the provided lunches at the negotiation meetings over discussion of the actual topics, and working together to come to an agreement for everyone.

Another union I was a part of prior to that was for a big box wholesale store. I was sexually harassed in front of customers by another union member. The meetings were facilitated by management and the union. Management had my side on the issue, but the union advocated for the harasser due to years of service and seniority. They couldn't even guarantee I wouldn't work with him again. I eventually left that job, for multiple reasons, but a big one was that experience really broke me. I never felt comfortable working around that person and knowing that my voice would always be lesser compared to anyone who had just worked there longer.

There are a handful of districts making the switch. Most districts plan around educational hours instead of school days. It can be done with the right planning.

But the childcare aspect is huge. The district I work for started the conversation of a four day week in school year 22-23, but it stalled when they didn't get support from parents and the local large hiring companies. I hope that discussion comes back eventually.

From when my partner and I bought our ring set, we went to a gem shop instead of a jewelry store. We had three rings given to us by family members, and wanted to rework them into a new set for me and then get a matching ring for my husband. Every jewelry store we went to wanted $6-8k to do the rework. We ended up at the gem shop as a last resort, because we were both over it. The gem shop reworked and made my engagement ring, wedding band, added a lab grown sapphire, and found a ring for my husband for $1900 total. And they did it all on our timeframe of two weeks.

My advice is to shop around and talk to people. All the big jewelry shops were so expensive, and smaller businesses will probably be better on your budget.

Shout out to Bob's Gem Shop in Escondido, California! They got us a great deal and I love our set. 😍

I think this comment is taking out the relationship aspect of what this guy is doing. I'm not in Seattle, but if there was just a regular, reliable dude around here that just delivered food for a flat rate, I'd keep using his service.

This is more about the relationship and trust and building a reliable customer base by providing regular reliable service, than it is for competition. At least at this point.

  1. Get some food and beverages you enjoy.
  2. Take a bath and use a bath bomb. (It doesn't matter who you are, baths are awesome)
  3. Drink bevvies in the tub. Bonus: walk around your place naked because it just feels good

Reddit API bullshit. But mostly I wanted to support the dev for reddit sync.

It caused more paint when I was wearing ill fitting bras in both size and shape. I found r/abrathatfits in my mid-twenties and it changed everything for me. I mostly wear unlined mid coverage demi bra shapes now.

I do still get back pain like just below the shoulder blades in the center of my back. But that's been there for years and I'm used to it now

War Games!

πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚ this is why we have a rotating designated driver on girls night now lol

This is what we do too. I'm really grateful my partner works from home. He texts me around lunch time about ingredients, then goes to the store in the afternoon. I come home from work and do any prep like marinating, and later on we cook the meal together. ☺️ We both eat better, more regularly, and healthier this way.

Thank you for being a friend πŸ₯Ή

Before it got super expensive, I LOVED pilates. The machines were fun to use, the classes were upbeat, and the movements changed every two to five minutes. It kept my brain and body active for the whole session. I wasn't getting distracted during classes, and the different classes offered were similar but also changed up to keep me engaged.

It was also easier on my joints (I have rheumatoid arthritis) than running and cycling, and I have a hard time swimming so that wasn't an option.

Once I get back to a point where I can afford it again, I will definitely be going back.

I would too. I have the pixel and to be honest I don't have the drive or motivation in life right now to do everything it would take to switch away from Google. I don't even own a PC anymore, literally just have my phone. If Google one had an ad free option, I'd buy in. I already pay for extra storage space, might as well loop ads into that.

Check the image from the other comment. It does a great job of summing it up quickly. 😊

Rather celebrate the small wins than constantly decry the shortfalls.
