This isn’t a contest. OP asked what was the worst, and this is it for me. It’s damaging enough for me, and it’s very hard to give concrete examples because it was damage over time. Personality also plays a role; it’s possible that other kids in my shoes wouldn’t have felt this as something too damaging, everyone is different.

Both my parents have been very supportive and nurturing in almost every other aspect but those I mentioned. I know there are some horrific stories out there, I hope yours isn’t one of them.

That first paragraph pretty much summarizes my love life, fortunately I’m not one for dangerous but plenty of stupid.

I’m sorry that happened to you. I know the feeling :(

2 or 3 squares, often folded. If the paper is cheap single ply it might be two or three times the amount.

I’m not asking how to broaden my vocabulary, rather how to incorporate the flair associated with this type of writing. I’m not entirely opposed to AI as help, and in fact this works well for me to get plebe jobs if I want - but I want to step up. And yes, I one hundred percent think good human writing beats AI. I believe AI is too easily spotted nowadays, and using my own voice would give me an edge.

I was hoping for specific authors recommended or similar but instead most replies are to pick just anyone and a thesaurus.

Thanks. Like I said I write well but informally. It’s the “professional” style associated with cover letters or product sales that I have a problem with. I’ve noticed some people can even speak fluently in a similar manner without problems.

Was hoping to see specific authors good at this style of writing but instead most answers are “just pick someone good”.

I’m not an expert but this sounds like a crime punishable by law. Holy crap

Okay I didn’t even think about career fairs and writing centers. Might look what’s available for me, thanks

A vacuum seal you mean?

My mother passive aggressively bullied me regarding potential love interests to the point I was absolutely terrified of even mentioning boys from my class as dealing with her unfounded teasing was unbearable. This didn’t help at all with my romantic relationships, I was always lacking in support in the area as I turned the topic into a taboo during my adolescent years, at home in particular.

As for my father it’s not much what he did but what he didn’t do. He’s one of the smartest men I’ve ever met, he is good at managing his finances and networking yet he never gave me much support or pushed me to achieve anything in these areas - when he did it was briefly in the form of criticism. Again, this also snowballed into an adulthood problem I’m still grappling with.

This happened to me too. I don’t drink sodas but in the very rare occasion there is nothing else I try to pick the zero types, like the other user said, they feel less sweet and less medicine tasting.

Not sure id try that since I’m not a fan of sweet drinks but I’d be curious about coca cola flavored Oreos

Citrus, in particular grapefruit, would be also a good option to freak out people

They work at a mannequin warehouse

They meant hot, but didn’t dare say it.

People say I look like Carrie Ann Moss (Trinity) but as a child I had more Lucy Lawless resemblances. So I don’t know, but either case they’ll have to get a tan cause I’m more of a Penelope Cruz skin tone.

I tried Aikido for a while and did some Qui Gong as well. I see your point about the BS floating around, but the physical and also mental benefits are undeniable. It may vary from person to person, the same way some people can’t meditate, some won’t get anything from these types of activities.

Yeah I had to read it twice to figure it wasn’t years. And I use metric, so I know exactly how tall these two are but for some reason it didn’t click on the first read

Okay but that still doesn’t directly address the meme or my question

Yes but the implication here is that oaks are in particular much more susceptible to damage from roots than other trees. Hence my question
