I took my husband's last name because I knew that if we do ever have kids, they'd automatically have his last name, and he didn't want to change his name to mine. Ever since then for every family gathering my brother would be asked when he's going to find a girl and have babies so he can "continue the family name."

He was 20 when I got married. He couldn't even legally drink yet and our dad and uncle expected him to have babies? This has been going on for nearly five years. He told our mom (our parents are divorced) how he feels almost pressured and he doesn't like it when they ask him that shit.

They do this mostly because I'm infertile in the "I would die if I got pregnant" kind of way. That doesn't mean that I can't have a biological child. It just means that we have less options, and those options are super expensive. I'm not even sure my child would count in their eyes because they'd have my husband's last name.

Not that it will ever happen. I'm almost positive if we ever have a kid, it'd be through adoption. I don't want to have a child inherit my blood disorder.

How does it work with things like infections, infestations, etc? Like you have cellulitis or scabies, where you might be okay right now but it can kill you or spread to others if not treated quickly?

I can't take a photo of myself I am too ugly. Phone automatically detects how ugly I am and shuts off. I am so ugly even a phone can't bare to look at me.

There is no way for our bodies to operate without sugar (glucose) but here we’re talking about choosing healthier options that come with other benefits like added nutrients, fibers and vitamins. Eating a chocolate bar brings only ‘’empty calories’’ and loads your body with refined sugar without fuelling you with beneficial compounds.

Also, there are differences in how our bodies metabolizes the naturally occurring sugar and the refined sugar. Added sugar causes the insulin and blood sugar levels to skyrocket as it is broken down more rapidly. Then the ‘’sugar crash’’ happens. After eating it you do not feel full and your cravings arise again and faster.

On the other hand, if you want to effectively satisfy sugar cravings, with the added benefit of ingesting some good nutrients and fibers, and keeping your metabolism more stable - Medjool dates are incomparably better than any processed foods.

I did this since January and it's the best thing!

It’s English, English is a descriptive language meaning that however it is used is the correct way. If you want a language that has strict rules as to what is and isn’t correct please see french.

The “rules” you have been taught are only guidelines for the period of time and location you were taught them in. For example I was never taught to use <> as quote marks it was either ‘ or “ but obviously you were, we are both correct because I understood you perfectly.

For bigger pieces of decor or furniture I've heard about the "technique" of having to imagine it in three different rooms/places before committing to it.

It won't work for everything and everyone (1 room studio appartement or something extra specific like a toilet paper holder) of course, but it can inform some decisions like getting that rug that would work both in the living room and bedroom and not the one that can only work in one place ever.

I don't get the hate on this and why everyone is saying "mean doesn't exist, people are just telling you things you don't want to hear"... like what?! Your post isn't talking about that, your post was talking about when people are genuinely a dick. I think you just activated a part of these guys childhood by saying "mean", which is a rather child-like word that "victims"/soft people use a lot to describe whenever someone tells them something they don't want to hear. "Rude" might have been a better word, but I'll never understand why people can't set aside their emotions to take things at face value (hint: it's because of their ego!)

I fully agree with you and this post. And there's noting wrong with killing em with kindness. Don't overdo it, but lightly responding back kindly if it fits and sitting back and being unaffected by them is the godliest self righteous thing you can do. It's the healthiest thing to do.

True

Whenever i buy something, i imagine where I would place it in my room first before getting it.

Best thing I’ve done for myself. Spoiler alert I felt better after deleting social media. Still haven’t got the desire to get back on

Then why do people care so much when someone avoids taxes or operates an illegal enterprise?

This is an anti-life tip.

Can I stop paying taxes too if I don't want to? Who cares about the long term consequences for the rest of society as a whole, right? After all, my own ego is the highest authority there is, and absolutely NO ONE has any right to hold any expectations to my behavior or decisions...

There's also a difference between clutter and decoration

I would say this can help if you are an impulsive buyer by nature.

But if you're not, sometimes it feels nice to treat yourself with an impulsive purchase. I tend to be in this case.

If deactivating social media is the solution, it is not social media that is the problem, it is you.

Or just remember the way.

I only keep it because of my Grandma.
