Yup, struggled really hard with this, used to be a total doormat. Learning self-worth now as an adult. And man does it feel good to stand up to the toxic family members now that they don't have a way of controlling me.

It gets better. This made him so butthurt he made a response video, and the Romanian police could finally confirm he was in the country and arrest him on human trafficking charges because of a pizza box from a local chain.
Thank you Greta. And thank you pizza chain.

I'd generally say no to all these "is a hot dog a sandwich" etc questions because these foods are all culturally dependant. A calzone is a calzone because it's made based on some Italian recipes (I'm saying plural because each province has their own recipe, you know how it is in Italy, but obviously a calzone is something we all recognize as an Italian thing). And you can tweak it how you want but at some point it differs from the original recipe so much it's not a calzone anymore.
Like, the more I cook, the more I realize that pretty much all cultures have *some* variation of: dumplings (with filling or plain), noodles/pasta, sweet and savoury pies, hearty comfort stews, flatbread, and probably more. And very often, especially with things made of dough, they're made quite similarly because people arrived at the same conclusions as to how to best make the dough. Should we call all those the same? No, because the differences are culturally important and it's not just about the shape.

I'd clap. But like, really slowly to add to the awkwardness of the whole situation.

Yeah, supermarket donations aren't as wholesome as you'd think. They're gonna donate the money you gave them in their name and then write the donation off their taxes. So basically you're just giving them free money under the guise of charity. You're better off donating the money yourself.

And it always feels like such an honor to be on the receiving end.
My friend has a dog who doesn't like strangers, he's not aggressive or anything but just avoids them when they come over. Well, when I came over for the first time, the dog immediately went to me, started licking my face and enjoyed being pet by me. My friend and her mom were genuinely shocked, lol.

Fun fact, this stuff is so acidic it can bleach your underwear over time.
And you shouldn't wear a pad every day, it's healthier to get some air down there to prevent... well, some bad stuff, not gonna get into detail. Wear cotton underwear and all that jazz.

Would the fire breathing spiders be giant or just normal tiny spiders breathing out tiny puffs of fire?

I'm 100% on board! A month ago I made myself this high-low poncho-y cloak inspired by Serena Joy from Handmaid's Tale (obv I don't like her as a character but damn does she dress well) and got a bunch of compliments on it! So I'm intending to make a full on long cloak as well. People really don't expect how warm they are, the one I made is only one layer of fleece fabric, but it's warmer than lined coats!

That episode was awesome because they don't tell you what he was watching until the very end so you think (well, I thought anyway) that he was just a panicked teen who thought he was gonna get busted for regular porn but then they reveal this fact and it's like, oh shit

Ugh, this hits hard. My dad has narcissistic tendencies (his mother is way worse though) so my gut reaction is usually to be a total doormat as kids growing up in narcissistic households often do, but I do feel that spiteful darkness in me sometimes, especially when I feel like I'm being treated unfairly. Recently I've been trying to get some self confidence and stand up for myself more, in a positive and constructive way, not in a "I'm better than everyone" way, but damn it is hard. Usually when I feel like I've overstepped, I go back to doormat mode.
