"I couldn't afford a proper ring so I got you a kitten named Ringo" That's the direction I would have gone with.

As a man, I'm not particularly worried if I walk past two drunk women outside a bar. But two drunk dudes? Caution.

Well done to the unknown girl for reading the situation and offering a lifeline. We should emulate her, where possible.

Everyone is going through their own thing. You can't judge someone else's experience. I worked for that guy during COVID. Don't be that guy.

Depends on where the scars came from. There's a reason I never wear shorts.

Louder for the bigots who lurk on this site, who somehow aren't banned when my main account was, thanks BP

This is especially true for women. My mother missed out on so much in life because she wouldn’t go alone because “women don’t do that.” I, a woman, have done whatever I’ve wanted alone and my husband of 53 years is so proud of me.

I had a baby at 21, got my degree at 28, passed my practical driving test on the fourth attempt at 33. I'm 40 now and still never been married or own my own house. Stop living your life according to some imaginary schedule and thinking "I should have done (milestone) by now."

"Risks aren't as risky for those that can afford to take them" Gonna need to save this for my boss when I ask why our CEO makes 1000x the normal employee salary...

For those unaware: "Himbo" = mix of 'him' + 'bimㅤbo', used for a man who's kinda stupid / airheaded but genuinely kind-hearted. Usually used for fictional characters, but it's very much fitting here.

I used to make lunch for a little girl I taught in the early 2000s. She's a Hindu and some days didn't eat meat, so I had to make, like, cheese and tomato. She also liked the pilchard and onion sandwiches I made. She found me on FB a few years ago and told me how much it meant to her. My heart!!!

Relationship goals ❤️ This is how it should be, not "delete all phone numbers of your male friends to cater to my insecurity."

That's the parents' job. Always believe in them. And make it clear that you do .

I generally can't stand this genre of movies but this is a good scene. It's because this character is written as basically "opposite James Bond", therefore he respects women while real Bond is a rapㅤist.

As a volunteer who works with children I'd say theres also about 20-50% of giving them some much needed parenting. Setting boundaries, teaching manners, how to keep yourself entertained without screens....

Fully agreed. Avoid mansplaining but help others by passing on a little knowledge from time to time. In a friendly voice, ofc ;-)

The only trouble here is that certain people have particularly wide definitions of 'being hurt'. In extreme cases this can extend to "I'm hurt that you don't follow my religion / hockey team / political party / system of morality" and by then it's just bullying by opinion.

Genuine question: I know about they/them, obviously, but how do I adress someone where I'd use 'sir/madam' for cis-people? (Please correct me if I didn't get all of that right, im trying to learn)

Last time I went out with a friend, a nineteen year old boy asked me out. I told him I was 45 and married and he told me to tell my husband that he was a very lucky man and I don't look a day over 25.

Lovely. With the state of things these days, I reckon everyone could do with more reminders like this of how so many people really are good and kind and decent.
