Don’t. Leave him in the past. You both still have feelings for each other, but that doesn’t mean it will work. It’s going to be like last time if not worse, because snowballing any issues from the first time into this hypothetical second time.

You deserve better. Mental health issues and being a social media hermit are no excuses. He probably didn’t mean to hurt you but he did, and will keep doing so over and over again until YOU set some boundaries.

Set those boundaries, send him away. This has nothing to do with your preference, just stay open and listen to what you want in terms of a partner. Beyond sex and gender you deserve to be treated fairly.

This is amazing. I have a question though: How come only the author woodpecker can remove the acorns but not other woodpeckers? What kind of ID tech are these guys using?

I don’t identify with either my country of birth (where I lived until I was 19) or the country I currently reside in. Of course I have a strong influence from both, especially where I grew up, and I find it’s easier for me to understand the culture there but that doesn’t mean I resonate or identify with it.

I’ve also lived in houses that had the entire bathtub/shower painted over with high gloss paint. It looked tacky af and it flaked obviously. Not that we had the time to complain about it though, that was very low on the list of issues. Have you ever seen mushroom caps sprouting from the ceiling? Same house

I’ve never heard of qt browsers, or servo/verso. I’ll give it a look, seems like I have a few rabbitholes to explore

So if I get moderator status on Reddit I can still use a third party app? Interesting. I don’t think I can be bothered though. I like it here and very rarely go back to reddit to lurk niche things I can’t find otherwise

Maybe you’re right, but I don’t recall seeing it regularly. I always sort by new though, and when I made the comment this post only had a few hours

Now? Again? You’re not talking about last year are you?

They painted the whole house in an hour using a pressure washer, right?

This should be crossposted in some of the wholesome communities

One thousand plus likes on lemmy. First time I ever see that high of a number. Before upvoting I thought it was part of the image

Wait, wait. What? You use an app that lets you tag users and keep those tags visible only to you?

That’s a really cool piece of trivia, but this guy kept taking supplements during the fast as well as calorie free beverages. An impressive feat but a different set of rules

Ohhhhhh omg now this makes sense. Thank you!

I also considered this one, illegally crossing in the opposite direction is still illegally crossing, so, it doesn’t explain the math

I thought of this one but a deportation or just leaving aren’t illegal crossings… So it wouldn’t work!

And trying to get out of the country crossing illegally is still an illegal crossing, so, it doesn’t make sense

I don’t know why you are getting downvoted, I also think it would be amazing if that happened

So… how do you reduce something like people crossing a border beyond one hundred percent ?

I don’t have a precise answer to your post but I’d like to add my two cents - it’s not just USA. I’m born and raised in Argentina and moved to Australia when I was 19. Although there isn’t a black vs white dichotomy here, people are very, very conscious of skin shades. I still don’t get why they obsess over it.

Just to illustrate, my skin/hair color is sort of like Monica Belucci’s. My eyes are green. In Argentina I was considered a brunette, period. Sure, there were lots of people a bit darker than me, and also lots of people more white, but I never felt like anyone cared. You’d only bring the topic when describing someone physically. In Australia? I’ve been referred to as “a person of color” so many times I lost count, and always by Aussies -even aussies who I would consider to be of a similar complexion to mine. Immigrants on the other hand, don’t seem to mind, no matter their own color. People here somehow find ways to make the skin tone and background matter, and I’m amazed at how some conversations end up touching the race topic gratuitously. It’s in their mindset. They can’t help themselves.

To add to this: I went to the doctor after a nerve injury and asked whether taking B supplements would help with recovery. She said "no, No, NO please don’t take any extra B supplements because your levels are already fine. I’ve seen enough patients come with unexplained burning, tingling and twitching sensations in their bodies and it’s always because they take B supplements unnecessarily. So don’t even think about it "

So yes our bodies can filter a lot but even then it’s also possible to overdose. Doesn’t seem to be OPs case though.
