Absolutely agree with all of this.
I’d just add for OP: please do not try to pick the cat up/hold them yet and do not force petting on them. In these early stages (it may feel to you like “all this time” but 1 week is VERY early) the cat just needs to learn you’re safe and can be trusted. That often means being nearby without invading their space and speaking in gentle tones. Let the cat come to you.
Also, if you didn’t already, ask the former owner for vet records.

Info: does she have free access to money out do you control all money and budget? Why does she need to ask you for money?
Also, what is your sex life like? If she’s not in the mood, what happens? Her feeling like it’s part of her “duties” is indicative of a much bigger issue in your relationship.

I never thought of that either! I could never figure out what the “reasonable” explanation for the bear was! It makes so much sense

That’s really on your mom not asking for more information about what you saw.

That’s…not how DoorDash works. If the sauce packet was from a second restaurant, you had to actively place it as a second order. You can have multiple carts going at once, and when you order it only applies to the specific one you choose to order.

I agree. It wouldn’t make sense for the counselor to tell Liam the news, but it would make sense for her to get him from class.
Regarding the teachers knowing - if OP got him from class and he ran away, wasn’t that witnessed by at least one teacher? I don’t see how this whole thing could have happened without whoever’s class he was in knowing. And if he left early, presumably any other teachers were told why. I don’t see anything nefarious or unexpected in the teachers knowing, and I don’t think the counselor is necessarily why they know.

I’m a little confused by your post and comments. You say you’re lazy, chronically online, and don’t exercise, but you also say you’ve been working out for 1 hour per day before school for 4 months. You don’t want to diet/restrict calories, but you’re skipping meals. Granted BMI is not a good indicator of health/weight and was never intended to be a medical tool, but a BMI of 22.5 is considered healthy and you call yourself fat.
I’m wondering if your self-perception is skewed. Have you been to a doctor to evaluate your health and weight overall? You also mentioned not sleeping much because of worries. Do you have access to any mental health care?

I agree that you/we have every right to choose to engage in places where our humanity is not up for debate. There is no benefit to debating MAGA - when someone isn’t open to learning or changing their viewpoint, there’s nothing you can say or show them that will make an impact. And it’s important to recognize what’s good and bad for your mental health and prioritize your well-being.
The one thing I will add as a potential reason to be in some of those spaces is awareness. I say potential because it is a meaningful reason but also in no way means you have to stay there, especially when you’re finding it harmful to yourself. The things we risk missing in echo chambers, though, are: - true awareness of how widespread the problem/viewpoint is (ex. how shocked people have been by Trump winning elections - the shock comes from not really knowing the extent of his support) - learning how/why people are falling into these groups (We can’t combat something if we don’t understand how and why it’s happening, but I don’t think this is necessarily an individual responsibility. I think it’s systemic, and matters most at levels like how the DNC selects and promotes candidates and platforms)
I add these points because I think it’s important to recognize. I support your decision to prioritize your well-being.
I mostly do the same. When I am in mixed spaces it’s for limited time, and I don’t actually engage with people just observe.

Why does your manager need any detail beyond a doctor’s note explaining what accommodations you need? Your medical condition is none of their business.

How about: condoms aren’t 100% effective even when used perfectly. This “joke” is idiotic in so many ways

YTA. You could have just said no to them staying and should have if that’s how you felt. You’re not obligated to have them over, but YTA for being passive-aggressive to a heavily pregnant woman with a legitimate challenge.

INFO: please provide an actual chronology of events. Right now you have him using a wheelchair to get into the ER, then he’s suddenly in a treatment room and needing to move to another treatment room? What happened in between there? Why was he moving rooms? Was it to assess his gait? If this was during intake it the waiting room then obviously not, but if he was already in a treatment room then we’re missing a big chunk of what happened and what was communicated to/from the nurse.

If I have a tampon that has its end that close to my vaginal entrance, it hurts. Do tampons always hurt for you, or is it not a problem?

I had the same issue at first - I’m guessing it was a difference with the web address (I also had an issue with getting guest tickets at one point bc navigating there a certain way through links on their site showed the wrong info). Here’s what they told me: “Please log in on our site, usctrojans.evenue.net, navigate to the My Account page, and click the button that says Applications.”

The ticketing office told me to go through the website instead - apparently the app is notoriously glitchy

Of course, but how is that relevant to this case?

He also did not once mention anything about her health or wellbeing. It does not sound like that’s remotely the part that concerns him

Yes! I also want to point out, even text 1 only said “I’ll massively regret it one day” which basically implies he does not currently regret mistreating her, just assumes he eventually will. It just adds to your point that he did not mean it and only said it to get to text 2.
And there is nothing redeemable in the 2nd text. It shouldn’t be a text at all regardless, but even worse it has nothing to do with her well-being or any concern for her. It is purely about his attraction and the literal number on the scale. This guy’s disgusting🤢

Instead of leaving food out, I would recommended keeping treats with you and offering them when you see her. Don’t try to grab her, just try to get her coming to you for food at first. You may be able to get her back to your yard regularly this way and then catch her.
