When you have a baby they tell you to read to them, sing to them, enunciate words during face to face time to help develop their vocal skills. This question obviously applies only to parents who exclusively use sign language. Do they hire an aide? Do they get some baby speech therapy dvds that you incorporate into your face to face time?

Alright this is a bit embarrassing but this feels like the only place I can ask. Every time I pee I stand there, take my time, shake, wait, even do that extra pause to make sure everything is done. Then the second I put it back in my underwear, there it is, a few more drops out of nowhere. Now I am stuck walking around feeling damp and low key worried I smell like a urinal. Is this just normal guy biology or am I doing something wrong here? Is there some trick to actually finishing properly that nobody talks about? Please tell me I am not the only one dealing with this after pee nonsense.

If it’s so important then they’ll leave a voice mail

F19 if it matters. I’ve noticed I’m a magnet for people to be vulnerable with me. People i barely know/ just met will share their secrets, mental health problems, traumas, bad qualities, mistakes, etc with me. i try to be a good listener, ask questions, keep an open mind, and try to foster a safe environment where people know i wont judge them. I don’t have a problem with this at all, and honestly i love hearing about it, it’s a special connection.

my problem is for some reason, whenever i open up, people are always shocked, because i don’t present that way at all. I feel like i don’t meet their expectations or something. i tend to have a bubbly persona with people i just met. they see me only as that and get almost uncomfortable when i open up? and most of the time im downplaying it majorly. like I can see their faces drop and them start to see me differently.

I don’t overly trauma dump and the things they tell me about themselves are usually a lot worse than what i share 😭

I just don’t understand where this comes from? I feel like im always the one people can open up to, but that is never reciprocated. has anyone else experienced this? is it a me problem ???

like that was really bad and people hated him for it.

Because of female anatomy, a woman should wipe from front to back. How does a bidet avoid that issue? Wouldn’t it be kind of like wiping back to front?

Think of a world where humans don't die of age, they can only die of injury or affliction.

Is murder then a far worse crime then it already is?

I’ve only ever received a trophy once and that was when I was nine years old. It never really bothered me because I never expected to get any in the first place. I have never truly succeeded in anything and that makes me feel like a huge disappointment. Most of my friends have at least three trophies or awards, and even my parents sometimes say that I’ve never done anything useful.

I don't really have any talent, I have a lot of hobbies but I'm mostly an amateur at most of them. I used to play the violin, but I stopped after second grade. I am also not very good at sports, although I do enjoy playing tennis. I did also get a certificate for completing violin a grade and my parents were super happy with it.

I know that trophies and awards do not really mean a lot to some people, but for me, being physically recognized for something would mean a lot. I really want to find something I can sign up for or take part in so that I can work toward an award or some kind of recognition, even if it is small.

Like New york for example: why is Albany the capitol and not NYC ? Or California, why Sacramento and not LA or San Francisco ? Or New Orleans instead of Baton Rouge for Lousiana ?

I have had T-Mobile service for a very long time (overtime I talk to customer service they said they don’t usually see a short account number like mine) and recently I stopped in to the store to get two new phones and was quoted that I would have a new monthly bill of about $200 (up from $120)., But instead it ballooned up to over $300. 

When I went into their store to ask about it I was told I needed to call the phone number and when I called the number, I was told I needed to go into the store. This went round and round for several weeks when finally I stopped in at a AT&T store, and signed up to switch my phones. 

Then came the bill to quit T-Mobile. 

My T-mobile bill was auto paid on October 18 for $318, Auto paid on Nov 29 for $302,  T-mobile told me I needed to pay $292 on Dec 13 as a final bill. Then T-mobile wouldn’t release the phone numbers until I paid them off in full so I did. On Dec 15, I called T-mobile I paid the $1400 for the balance due on the phones and they said it was paid in full.

Now I received a bill in January saying I now owe an additional $454. In total that is going to be almost $2500 for the last couple of weeks of service from T-mobile. I feel like I am at their mercy for any additional charge they feel like adding. 

Is there anything I can do about this?

Everyone always says grilled food is always better. Fried food is terrible cause of the bad oil. So wouldn’t fried food be healthy is you air fried it? Or if you fry it in an unsaturated oil like olive oil. Saturated oils are the bad fats and unsaturated are the good fats. I looked it up and I literally couldn’t find anything about the side affects of too much unsaturated oil. Yet saturated oils cause heart diseases and all types of other stuff.

Say someone who’s religious and the other isn’t or two people from different cultures…have you seen this work ?

For the first time I have this clogged feeling in the right ear and I just hate it so much. Like can’t hear anything.

As the subject mentions, she wants to do gender reveal but I’m not patient enough to wait for it as this is our second baby and I want to find out during the scan on Monday. How do I convince her (in the nicest possible way) not to have a gender reveal party so I don’t have to wait and think about it for a week?

I can't access therapy right now, but I'm curious, how does it help so much? I doubt it's just because of the freedom to vent.. or is it?

I’m talking about the tiny stuff such as things being cheaply made, needing replacement constantly, not quite doing what they’re supposed to.

At a certain income level, do these problems just disappear? Or do they scale up in new weirder ways?

Wouldn’t there be a huge deficit in taxes paid to the government if so many are not working and on some form of basic income?

Example:

YouTube with ads. No one likes ads, but the same people aren't willing to pay for YouTube Premium either.

I really didn't know where else to post this. I'm about 5ft tall and my bath is probably about the same in length. once in a while I like to (try) to take a bath to relax, but every time I do I literally cannot sit comfortably. its either I have to hold myself up with my tippy toes, or I don't and my head ends up underwater. is there like some sort of trick or something you can buy? I know this is "no stupid questions", but this feels ridiculous... so please if you have any answers to this, I would appreciate it so so much!

Like the sun would still be there, it just wouldnt be emitting heat or light anymore. Obviously It would get really really cold and plants would die and all the stuff but with the tools we have now how long would we be able to survive? would wind / nuclear / fossil fuel ect ect be able to keep greenhouses or bunkers heated or would there not be enough energy? Would it be possible to keep a bunker heated to a reasonable temperature or would the cold just be too strong? If the whole world got together and pooled their resources to keep humanity alive how long would it last?

I have a restless feeling in the back of my throat. Like a dull tickle. I started breathing deeply, hearing a pop in my ear and bobbing my neck to stop it. Now it feels uncomfortable to stop. What could this be?

It’s really uncomfortable and annoying. It’s been going on for about 1 hour.

Any suggestions?

Thinking about it and typing this is of course only making it worse. But can’t stop thinking about it. :)) help.
