Thanks so much everyone for your opinions!

For those that liked the two dresses, I was asking because a lot of friends know me as the "cute" friend, and I wasn't sure if some friends loved dress 2 because they expect me to be more of a princess or not.

For those that liked neither, thanks for the helpful feedback about torso length and bust! Definitely want to make sure the dress has enough support. The two samples might be my final size, and the torsos might be sitting a little low because of my top being heavy, but would rather ask and get clarity to be sure.

Other than asking about torso/bust ...I don't know what to try now 😅

Noticable bloating and my bust were factors in dress choice. I've tried on a LOT of different things - necklines, silhouettes, waistlines. Basque waist or fitted silhouettes looks great from the front, but looks bloated from the side. Fitted tops made my boobs look like headlights or big lumps. Too high a neckline it looked like a purposely modest dress, not flattering what I have. Drop waist did nothing for my figure and made me look wide (least favorite even). If anyone has helpful suggestions on what to maybe try given this new info, it would be so appreciated!

Can you please send me a link? I don't have the e-mail even though I got the e-mail about pre-sale

This is a nice approach

This will work until it doesn't

I honestly don't care about falling behind or getting left in the dust - enjoying my job is my priority since it's 40+ hours of my time per week. I'm learning more about AI every day and am hoping it becomes second nature and my feelings change. If at some point it feels forced, then this is no longer the career for me.

I like it for communications too and it's very useful for that

Yes. To clarify, AI is useful/productive and have seen that in my work. I just see the writing on the wall when it's a little too useful...the job changes to automating a lot of that.

That article is terrifying! Balance is definitely key

It absolutely does have undeniable limitations. With that being said, custom GPTs can be extremely powerful and could replace a headcount or two

I do. It just also does the stuff I like to do too.

That's exactly what I'm not loving

You have to do testing and such as you normally would...but more often than not, yes. And some of that testing can be automated for you too.

Without getting into specifics, my company has essentially gotten to the point where you're coding even less than that...if at all

She's credited by her real name - Charlotte Aitchison

Interesting! Yeah I have premium on Android, and previously had the coffee icon after the tree grew. Maybe I'll reach out to support like someone else said to try and get it back!

This is the only response that makes sense here, and I'm glad you said this. Even though it wasn't intentional, there's a HUGE conflict of interest here. If you really like this person and see it going far, can someone maybe apply for a different job? That would solve the problem easily.

Honestly can't wait to use the term "hoa hoa weather" irl now so thanks!

Watched the first episode since it was free. Still trying to figure out how I feel about it. I love the old Poppy vibes, though the song was meh. The plot was nonsensical in a different way than her YouTube stuff was. I like the use of puppets. The humor was a little different.

Spoiler tag pls!

Hey it's been a second but figured you should know that Katsu Shack just opened off of Clark and Halsted!

INFO - What has been your girlfriend's debt situation over time - has she paid down a lot of it? Also, what do you love about your girlfriend?

You don't HAVE to share the money to pay off your girlfriend's debts - you don't owe that to her, she's not entitled to it.

I could imagine her being emotionally confused that you don't WANT to. Your girlfriend knew since day 1 you didn't want to get legally married...but at a certain point, you reach a point emotionally in a relationship where you might as well be minus the government and paperwork. I'm guessing you guys are already there. This is probably emotionally confusing to her - it would be for anyone tbh. She probably agrees to not getting legally married, but she probably still wants the emotional closeness of a long term committed relationship.

This could simply be a values mismatch. Your choice in what you're doing with the money says you care more about investing in homes than helping your long term partner. You don't see your financial situation as a team, which you don't have to be married to do. Nothing wrong with this since it could just be a mismatch in values...but can you also see why that could be emotionally confusing to her? Her family's jokes are inappropriate, but your girlfriend realistically talked to her family about it because it's emotionally confusing and she needed emotional support for it. She hadn't asked for any of the money herself, so that should count for something...she probably wants to respect your decision, but is also emotionally confused.

It's very nice that you've been helping to pay for expenses while she works on paying off her loan. Hope you understand none of this is saying you don't want to help her.

Second this. Each location rotates its soft serve flavors, so you can try different things!

Thank youuuuuuuu!

Wait...you can do that?

ctx ftw 💜
