I got married last weekend and was utterly shocked by the intensity of the wedding ceremony
I thought that it would be happy. I also thought that I was very prepared, having been engaged for two years, having read over the ceremony script multiple times, etc.
But I was not-
I don't understand rice cookers. Stovetop. 2:1 broth to rice. Chunk of butter and some salt. Bring to boil then cover and simmer heat. Perfect every time. What is the rice cooker for
@MageShrugged
Broth has almost no calories but adds so much flavor. You need some fat to feel full snd survive and butter is nutritious, satisfying and delicious
My refutes to all of these comments:
1) why would i want food that's been sitting out for 8 hours
2) yes I've used a rice cooker. My mom has a Zojirushi. It's no better than my stovetop rice
3) ppl saying broth/butter is bad in rice r living a colorless life and eating blandly
Unpopular opinion but it is actually based and the sign of a healthy society to laugh at a man in a dress
It's automatically a joke because it's so inherently ridiculous
@lucky_ruby
I have. It is only marginally better than (if not indistinguishable from) the stove and takes up tons of storage/counter space!
Stove also only takes about 5 more minutes of watching, during which you are probably also preparing other parts of the meal anyway

If busty women wear a loose fitting shirt then it generally blows way out instead of coming back in at the waist and looks like they're wearing a tent
Me in 2018: "wow, it's so cool that they made this shirt using recycled plastic bottles"
Me in 2023: "are these underpants 6% polyester? You'll have to throw them away"

Women just act politely in the face of a possible threat & try to get out of the situation quickly. Because we could never win in a confrontation with a man so just avoid at all costs. It is the most man thing ever to think "they r nice to me so they don't mind my presence!"
Fiance: "one of the vendors at work gave me this cup. I think I'm going to give it away"
Me: "what"
He had legit never heard of a Stanley cup. It's mine now
took place. We were truly changed. "Just a piece of paper" my ass.
The most joyful moment by far of my entire life. A higher high than any drug could ever give. I am confident that nothing will match that joy until we get to Heaven one day and walk through its gates together
What do parents think when people stare at their babies?????! I stare at nearly every baby I see. I am not creepy I just can't tear my eyes away. They r precious. Is it less creepy if I am a neat young lady
You need to be handwriting &mailing letters. Old fashioned. To ur grandma. To ur friend who lives far away. To ur long distance boyfriend. To ur brother
You're not going to sit & read decades old texts with them when ur old and miss them. But a handwritten letter u will treasure
Your siblings are usually the only people with you for your entire life. Your parents die years before you do, spouse and kids come later, and friends often come and go
This is why giving your kids siblings is one of the best possible gifts to give them. A network of people who-
I got a lunch lady pot (12qt stainless steel stock pot) and cooking a gigantic stew or a triple batch of chili is exhilarating I want to raise a small army to the glory of God and cook gigantic stews every day this is my dream
prepared. Nothing could have prepared me for this
It hit me like a ton of bricks the moment I got to the altar. The beauty of the moment. The love I had for my groom. His teary eyes. My uncle's reverent & tender voice beginning to speak about God's plan for marriage. I wept.
@Alicia_Bittle_
Women have this entire other GIGANTIC, important job called caring for others in the society (children, the elderly, the sick, making households run well) and so their economic work should not be pressured to equal men's
@TheEcho13
You actually have the most eggs when you are at 20 weeks gestation in the womb - 6-7 million - and half of those are lost by the time you are born! Then you many many many more by puberty. Number of eggs remaining is pretty meaningless
through my body.
Nothing else in the world existed in that time. A tornado could have come and swept all of our guests away, someone could have screamed in my ear, and I wouldn't have noticed.
The feeling of joy was so extreme that my body and soul could not hold it. I was-
Being declared husband and wife, to the cheers of the audience containing most of the people who love us.
Afterwords, just looking at each other tearfully, unable to do anything except giggle. Both in shock at the intensity and the acute sense of the spiritual reality that just-
it was by far the most intense experience of my life.
Something was happening. I could feel it. A spiritual reality, our merging of two into one flesh, being communicated to me through the physical means of whatever off the chart levels of adrenaline,oxytocin, etc were coursing-
Kneeling to pray makes such a big difference in my prayer life
Physically doing with my body what I mean to do with my heart. Humbling myself, reminding myself that I am His servant, honoring Him, etc. are all easier when my body is acting out what I want my heart to do
Hearing my groom say his vows. I could barely utter my own vows, for my voice wasn't working correctly. Slipping the golden bands on our sweaty fingers. Burning the bridge behind us, never to turn back.
The sweetest, most joyful kiss that has ever taken place in all of time.-
Polyester underwear is sterilizing men, pass it on
"By the end of the 24 months there was a significant decrease in sperm count and motile sperms, with an increase in abnormal forms (P<0.001); the testicular biopsy showed degenerative changes"
barely hanging on and felt on the edge of falling off into something. I remember realizing I was afraid to get to Heaven because if it was somehow even MORE joyful than this, then I might simply not be able to handle it. I was bursting at the seams.-
Only 7% of humans created in an IVF lab get to end up as a live birth
The rest get frozen for decades, donated to science, destroyed, aborted due to multiples, miscarried, etc.
And the ones created w surrogacy are created specifically with the intention of losing their mother
Imagine believing in a “god” that has this as his concern.
Like he’s sitting in the clouds, reading scientific journals getting angry that they invented IVF and now gays can have kids, mad they found a loophole to subvert his plan to make parenting for straights only.
I want to be this way once I'm married but I am so in tune with my cycle that if I I was 2 days later than my usual longer end of cycle length I'd be driving to Walgreens immediately😭
Every woman who has never yet tried to conceive secretly thinks she might be infertile
Every man who has never yet tried to conceive thinks his sperm is so powerful that it will happen first try with any woman
@comfysarah
It's terrible for women and children when women aren't protected when staying home to raise children properly. Bad bc women have to decide between effectively having 2 full time jobs and not raising their own children OR stay home with them but then not be protected
My man got his first elk I am SO PROUD!!!!!!!!!!
He returned smelling like dead animal mixed with sweat but very very handsome
Last night he was so discouraged and sad he hadn't gotten one yet but little did he know he was just 12 hours away from getting a big fat one!!!
I actually think a newborn baby on a boob is one of the most pure and wholesome things in all of humanity and that it's a very unhealthy societal thing to sexualize it
A little baby being physically + emotionally regulated by its mother is not sexual
@p2antwife
This is correct, but overestimated malevolence of normal stranger men (in person) isn't because they think most r bad- rather, that 99% of men are totally harmless, but you have no way of knowing who the 1% are that might harm you, and it is not worth betting ur life on
My new husband won't be able to look any men in the eye at our wedding because he's doing horrifically in the family fantasy basketball league for the fourth year in a row now
As a reminder, Sleeping Beauty is the best thing Disney has ever produced.
True Love (literally) wields the sword of truth and shield of virtue to slay the chaos monster, awaken Beauty, and thereby awaken the Kingdom.
Also, the animation and music have not been surpassed.
@Apple_tumble
How ridiculous it is for a man to wear a dress made for the female form
If you don't laugh at a man in a dress then you're instinct injured and NGMI
"Women today aren't worth marrying!!!"
Actually 80% of men today expect their wife to work full time, with kids, when it isn't completely necessary. Most young men today don't even WANT the responsibility of providing on their own
This is just not appealing to women: 1/
I get men wanting a woman who has no opinions about anything but........If this blank + impressionable woman rly did exist then in reality, by the time you met her she would already be programmed into going with the cultural flow of BLM, sexual revolution, trans rights etc.
It's A Wonderful Life is special bc I literally truly yearn 4 my fiancé as Mary yearns 4 George and he thinks I look + act like her &they remind us of us so much and they get married and have 4 kids and we want 4 and anyway if our marriage was ever failing that movie would fix it
All of these women would be energetic and fun SAHMs if a moderately well-earning man swept her off her feet and gave her a baby
Why can't women be silly and fun while they wait for that??? This is one of the most normal and pro-social ways women can possibly act? Touch grass ppl
Tax refunds are scammy because the government gets to be like "here's a check!" and make you feel like u won when really it took a lot of your money for a year and is now just giving a little back
@feminINEnotIST
Not directly answering the question, but it's more important to *like* your spouse than to *love* your spouse
Love is a fickle feeling, but genuinely liking someone means you'll enjoy spending time together even when things are not lovely and rosy
@TheFoxMatriarch
This seems like the worry with long maternity leaves too
Like, Europe's year long maternity leaves are so so so good for mothers and babies. Makes an overall emotionally healthier society. But like, how do any young women get hired????? If you know she'll prob leave for a year??
@comfysarah
Never ever marry a man who says these things. He's bitter and will not recognize your contribution. Spiritually gay to only value your wife when she's contributing in the way a man is supposed to
@kelly_cadigan
How does wanting to present as a woman somehow make a man a woman? If a cat felt more comfortable presenting as a dog then would they actually BE a dog? Or is being a cat a physical reality, just like being a man or a woman is a physical reality?
I am going to buried in the same coffin as my fiancé and we will both be buried in our wedding bands and eventually we will disintegrate and one day some archaeologist will dig us up and find nothing except bones, dust and our wedding bands and I think that's nice

If you don't believe there is any evidence it's bad then read "Being There" by Erica Komisar. Or find a podcast she is on. There is a lot of evidence, with nuance for ratio of caregiver:baby ratio, caregiver turnover, age when started, hours each day, etc
This is eugenics. Very evil. Playing God. Will not turn out well
Experimenting with gene-editing would mean experimenting on human beings
Plus there is already a non-evil way to get a similar effect 2 polygenic technology: picking a spouse with traits you want your kids to have
the most underrated technology right now: the capacity to generate egg cells from stem cells in arbitrary quantity + capacity to select for IQ among embryos means IVF will enable the selection of children with one-in-a-million IQ markers. this is not priced in.
@dissproportion
Spironalactone works for acne because it lowers testosterone. Lowering it will also mess up your hormones, lower your libido, causes fatigue and isn't sage for pregnancy. Not worth it and just covers up existing issues

Adoption is not trafficking because no money is allowed to go from adopting parents towards the birth mother
Whereas with surrogacy, tens of thousands$ go from the adoptive/purchasing parents towards the egg donor and woman carrying the baby (both biological mothers in a sense)
I wish to be a fair maiden marketplace girl and create beautiful things and care for my babies and the other women's babies as we do our daily tasks together
Women are better at picking spouses than men because men's judgement is clouded by physical attraction
Men marry women with blazing red flags all the time because she's hot lol
F-ck it
Women are almost completely unequipped to independently "pick" a mate.
Every other society in history involved others in the decision, or made the decision for her, and the results were better or at least similar to the modern, hyper-individualist catastrophe.
There is too much emphasis on maternity leave. What about keeping moms home w babies and not rushing back after.... "wow, a whole *12 weeks*!!!"
I'll be running on the platform Give Fathers Tax Breaks 2024!
Make it increase w each kid. A family w 4 kids should pay 0 income tax
"Women in workforce is good bc we unlock half the brainpower of the world!"
Actually, millions of women doing mindless work or jobs in which a man could easily replace them leads to LESS of their brainpower being unlocked bc they don't have time to *think* about what rly matters
Intergenerational interaction is good and necessary. We need each other!!!Old ppl love and are fulfilled by youth. Kids benefit from wisdom and love from their grandparents. Ppl need their parents even in their 30s 40s and 50s. Ppl having kids later and scattering takes this away
@AniseNot
i mean I think that's impossible but that the reasoning is that when u greatly restrict calories your body reacts by slowing down your metabolism bc it thinks it is starving and must use less energy to preserve resources. So less food consumed but no longer a real caloric deficit
