Don't know whether to go sleep or binge-read another cow thread? Get milk or tea? Dedicate your remaining life time to Dr*ver or Dano, and don't want to keep any of those important decisions in Sanic-samas capable hands? Fret not–present your dilemma, let farmers burn some sage and have them take that burden off of your exhausted shoulders.
Keep US laws, and more importantly, TPO, in mind and don't ask whether to an hero or which fun method to use, we're not serious like that.

What christmas gift should I get for an 11 year old girl?
I have only seen her once so I'm not sure about her interests, I only know that her parents won't allow makeup and she doesn't have a phone or much access to screens, also she's already getting the classic bath/skincare pack. I was thinking a pretty bracelet and some scrunchies, maybe a keyring too? I want to make a nice gift since she's still at an age where Christmas is important but I have no clue what a girl that age might like. At that age the best gifts I had were my first mascara ever and some video games so I can't use that as inspiration.

Anonymous 12/12/24 (Thu) 08:03:28 PM No. 2305741

I got a message out of the blue from my sister whom I have, shall we say, a very complicated relationship with. Basically we haven’t spoken for over a year because I’ve had her blocked on most everything. She reached out to let me know that she loves and misses me, and while that tugs on my heartstrings a bit, she also made no acknowledge of why we’re not in contact anymore or any indication that she’s sorry. That said, we both had a fairly abusive/neglectful upbringing and I understand so much of why she is the way she is. I understand maybe better than anyone else on the planet. But on the other other hand, she’s just been so fucking shitty and abusive to me and other family members over the years. She’s had a lot of mental and physical trauma that’s kept her in arrested development for so long, and so I get it, I really do. And I’ve heard through the grapevine that she’s made some improvements in her life in the last year and I’m glad to hear it. But I don’t want to run the risk of letting her in again just to get verbally blasted again the next time she has one of her mood swings. But maybe she’s learned not to do that? Maybe getting cut off finally taught her. I don’t miss her because there’s never been a time in my life we’ve been close. But I really do wish things could be different between us. I wish I had a sister.

Should I respond to her message or just keep letting it sit in my inbox?

>>2305741
I think you should acknowledge the message, and depending on how you feel, even go so far as to express what positive emotions you feel towards her, but I don't think you should reestablish true contact yet. Let her apologize first before you're willing to do that. But by acknowledging her message, you let her know that you received it, and you're not outright hostile towards her, but that you're not ready for a relationship until she does more work.

I would distribute some of the cookies as gifts to my extended family and friends, but most would be consumed by my immediate family. Would it be too many desserts?

No, you fucked up so now you have to deal with the consequences. You have to go out and do your errands and suffer. This will be a learning experience for you in the future to stop staying up until 8AM. Let this be your wake-up call: You are NOT a vampire. You are a human being and we are meant to sleep during the nights and be active during the days. It's in the bible. Just think about how rejuvenating and relaxing it will be when you finally go to bed at a proper time tonight, that anticipation will help guide you to make better life choices and take better care of yourself. Namaste.

Nonna, I’m going through the same exact thing. I’m unemployed currently so I just stay up and lose track of time. The ONLY way to stop this from fucking up your sleep schedule for the next month is to stay up. It’s the only way. Drink a lot of coffee and don’t lay in your bed. You’ll hit a wall where you feel like it’s impossible to stay awake, but I promise it will pass and you’ll almost feel energetic. Let’s report back to one another on whether we fell asleep or not.

- Korean would help me get a job, also I could lurk on Korean radfem sites
- Russian maybe would help me not die in a war???
- Czech is fun and I could visit Prague often

Ntayrt but I also really recommend Just Trish. If you're trying to improve your English skills, Trisha is a great option because she speaks so incredibly fast. It's like, if you can understand Trisha speaking then you can understand anybody speaking. I know for myself, audio exercises were the most annoying part of language learning. I could always understand it if they spoke slowly, but nobody really speaks slowly IRL.

Should I throw away my morals and start dropshipping too? 9/10 times I reverse-search something on etsy, I find an aliexpress/alibaba/temu/taobao link for 5-15 times higher the price. Yet these sellers have hundreds of reviews selling their slave labour garbage. The whole website seems completely useless now. I'm so sick of doing nightshifts all week and still not finding an apartment for myself, having to live in this shithole all day, eating garbage and being either anxious or angry 24/7.
