It depends on the woman and the kind of pad being used. Some women have light periods that don't last very long, while others have longer periods with heavy bleeding. Some pads are also thicker and absorb more than others. Generally speaking though, you'll change your pad about 3-5 times a day, and periods last 2-7 days. So 12 might be enough for some women, but not enough for many others.

So I met one of those girls randomly at a bar last night, we both got very drunk and I slept with her. Feeling bad now.

You need to tell your girlfriend ASAP. The only thing worse than cheating is cheating and lying about it.

Is it really cheating if one of you isn't playing?
If anything starting a game and backing out midway is the true unsportsman like conduct.

The fact that you even ask this is frankly stunning. You're acting like women have some kind of contractual obligation to provide sex even if they're busy or sick, and if they don't fulfill their end of the bargain cheating on them is perfectly justified. Just wow. When you agree to be exclusive with someone, you're agreeing not to sleep with other people, not signing away your right to say no to sex.

what school doesn't have a nurse? are you in the US?

No, every school in the US does not have a nurse. Less than half have a full time nurse on staff. But you've already decided what you want to think, haven't you? You didn't make this topic to hear other people's reasons, you made it to hear people validate your own point of view. No matter what reasons I give you and how many other parents agree with those reasons, you'll find some kind of excuse to ignore them anyway, because obviously you know better even though you're not a parent yourself.

that's why they give medical directive to the school nurse and the nurse will give them the care they need. calling your parent isn't going to get you help faster than someone at school can.

Not every school has a nurse, and teachers aren't medical professionals. Even if there is a nurse, a lot of parents will want to know immediately if there's a problem. If you become a parent, you'll most likely be singing a very different tune, especially if your child has a condition like diabetes or asthma.

And you don't need a smartphone for that, btw. They make phones for children that have set numbers they can call which can include the parents.

A lot of people have old phones lying around, so those get used instead of buying a new one. Seriously though, you asked why do people give their second graders smart phones, and I gave you several legit reasons. But you keep nitpicking them trying to justify your position that kids don't need smartphones. Why did you bother asking if you'd already decided there was no legit reason?

where is a second grader having a medical emergency where an adult wouldn't be able to call their parents?

their parents have phones to keep in touch with relatives.

AND WHY DO OTHER SECOND GRADERS HAVE SMART PHONES?!

Some medical emergencies aren't necessarily obvious to teachers, like low blood sugar. It gives parents peace of mind to know that they can reach their child at any time, and that the child can reach them if needed. And I'm guessing you've never tried keeping in touch with a young relative who lives some distance away, because I can tell you from experience it's a lot easier when the child has their own phone.

She cant even read but she knows the icons and uses them to watch her cartoons and play this little game that sings letters to her. She has these tiny toddler hands but they zoom around on the screen, its actually pretty impressive for somebody that falls on her butt like twenty times a day

Haha, I have a one year old niece who knows to swipe the screen to scroll through pictures. She loves looking at cat photos xD

It makes it easier to keep in touch with relatives, and if she has any kind of medical emergency at school she'll be able to call her parents easily. That, and all the other kids have one too.

Out today

Again, it won't be much different than the original at all, but it's worth a play if you never played it or loved it to pieces

Why are you saying it's not that different from the original? There's a third timeline with a new scenario, at least one new character, new music tracks, voice acting, and improved graphics. That's plenty different IMO, especially new story.

Do these forest beings ever wonder about their origins, or what their purpose is? Can they procreate or do they just magically come to life spontaneously? Do they have any concept of religion or myths? Can they die? And how is their society similar to and different from human society?

Like most things in life, Valentine's Day is what you make of it. Sure, you can shake your head at the commercialization and the show-offs, but for every one of those, you have couples who plan and genuinely enjoy a great day together. My brother-in-law is going out of town for a few days with his fiancee, and they're going to have a wonderful time together. Hubby and I decided we don't really want to go out this year, so we're going to order pizzas and play Monster Hunter. Neither of those choices are right or wrong. It's being together and doing something that makes you happy that counts. You can say you don't need a special day for that and that's true, but sometimes things get hectic/stressful and romance falls by the wayside in a long-term relationship. So having a special day set aside for it can be helpful.

Why did the humans leave? And where did the forest beings come from? Do they know about humans? How is their society similar to/different from human society?

A lack of money can cause misery, but that doesn't mean that having money will make you happy. Research shows that people who win the lottery aren't really any happier than before they won, and for some people it causes a lot more problems than it solves.

How do you feel about your job beyond the fact that you're not helping people? Can you live with it, or are there other problems you haven't mentioned? It's worth pointing out that with that kind of money, you can afford to do a lot of charitable work you wouldn't be able to afford on 50k a year, especially if you're supporting a family at the same time. Even if you're not working as a correctional officer, there are other ways you can help people in prison. Many people struggle to reintegrate to society and with finding work, which can cause them to go back to a life of crime. Helping those people learn work skills and get jobs would help them a lot more, and you'd have a lot more freedom and flexibility than you would if you were just another cog in the system.

Grabbing someone's butt is both sexual and physical assault under the law. If the guy had ONLY physically assaulted her, a lot of people would say she was justified in retaliating. But because it was also sexual assault, suddenly it's not okay and she overreacted. But if a guy decks someone for grabbing his girlfriend's butt, how many people would say he deserved it? Guys grope because they expect to get away with it consequence-free. If they were afraid of negative consequences, it would stop.

Technically, a grandmother pinching your cheeks is assault. Should you beat the shit out of your grandma? A woman once grabbed my ass probably because she expected to get away with it. Should I have beat her up?

Does context matter when it comes to "assault" and how you react to it?

No, that doesn't qualify as assault under the law. Yes, context matters, and the context here was a male stranger grabbing her butt. If a random gay dude pinched your butt, how would you react? A lot of guys would probably punch him.

Lots of sex-privileged individuals here trying to unfairly oppress the incel community. It's funny because these people must be subconsciously aware of the danger that the incel TRUTHosophy poses, and how it will change society for the better once accepted even if the sex privileged personally will suffer for it (and deservedly so).

One day a fox was out walking when suddenly he heard a loud snapping noise and felt a sharp pain in his rear.

Ooooow!!!! howled the fox, tears coming to his eyes. That hurts. Ooooow!!!

The fox looked behind him and saw his tail was caught in a trap. He struggled and struggled to get free but his tail was firmly stuck in the jaws of the trap.

With one last frantic effort the fox used all his strength and broke free.

Ooooow!!!! howled the fox as he looked behind him and saw his tail still stuck in the trap. All he had left was a little stump on his backside.

My tail, my beautiful fluffy tail. What will I do? he cried. How will I face all the other foxes without my beautiful tail? It will be so embarrassing.

The fox thought and thought and finally came up with a plan.

He called all the other foxes together for a meeting.

When the other foxes saw the little stump on his backside they began to laugh.

I've cut off my tail on purpose and I want you all to do the same, he yelled over the laughter.

A large tail is more trouble than it's worth," he shouted. When we're being chased by dogs it gets in the way, and when we get together for a talk you never know what to do with it. Do you wrap it around your feet, do you sit on it, or do you leave it out for some one to trip over?

So now is the time to free yourself from your tail and join me in a tailless society.

One of the older foxes shook his head and said, You wouldnt be saying that if you still had a beautiful tail. Youre only saying that out of your own self interest and because youre embarrassed.

All the other foxes walked off laughing with their big bushy tails proudly pointing upwards.

Talk to your girlfriend like a fucking mature adult. Cheaters deserve zero fucking respect. Might as well break up with her if this is going to be your attitude.

That. If you've got a problem with a relationship (of any sort), talk about it with the other people in the relationship. If you can't find a compromise, move on.

This is normally good advice when you're dealing with equally valid competing needs, but that's not the case here. Trying to finagle sex out of a sick/tired partner is a jerk move no matter how you slice it. Focus on making awesome plans for sexy time when she's better instead.

Yeah, I had a similar problem. I'm usually playing games with my husband, my brother, and my brothers-in-law together at the same time, so they're all my favorites. Not really a poll option for that one.

The worst kind of gamers are the selfish pricks who can't treat people like human beings, who think winning at a game is more important than someone's wellbeing, and who blame others for losing when it was actually their own fault.

Necron is actually a great final boss, if you really think on it. The game is pretty much a game about life, ya know?

Maybe, but what you just said applies to a lot of JRPGs, if not most. And even if that was the intent, Necron still didn't have to come out of nowhere. If it wasn't expected for a game to always have a final boss, I really wonder if it would have been in the game at all.

Alexa is the AI behind a bunch of Amazon devices, like Echo Dot. Kind of like Siri on Apple devices.

I'd file a formal complaint about the other guy. From the sounds of it, he's making more noise than your cat is.

seriously what is it that's so reprehensible about a person that cheats?

It causes massive emotional harm to your partner and destroys the foundation of the relationship, often irreparably.

Necron wasn't bad. Zemus/Zeromus from FF4 was bad.

Necron was an entity whose sole purpose is to "reboot" the universe. Necron's existence made sense.

what is Zemus/Zeromus? some Sith lord on the moon who feeds evil into Golbez?

Final Fantasy IV came out in 1991, which was fairly early in the SNES's life cycle. It's not entirely fair to compare him to later final bosses, but even so he still has more backstory and explanation than Necron. When the Lunarians' home planet was destroyed, it was decided that they would enter cryogenic sleep while waiting for Earth's civilization to mature so they could coexist peacefully. Zemus was a Lunarian who opposed this decision, believing that they should just wipe out the puny humans and colonize Earth now. Because of the threat he posed, he was forced into cryogenic sleep at the center of the moon, but even from there, he was able to psychically control Golbez and Kain to carry out his ambitions. He's shown to be fairly cunning, as he engineered Golbez's rise to power in Baron and manipulated them into getting the Water, Air, and Fire Crystals, then manipulated Cecil to get the Crystal of Earth. He also successfully stole the four Dark Crystals and was able to summon the Giant of Bab-il to destroy the world, which was narrowly averted only because every nation came together in the nick of time to fight it off. After Zemus was slain, his feelings of hatred and anger were so powerful they took on a life of their own, giving rise to the evil spirit of Zeromus. Zeromus is hatred incarnate, and will always exist as long as there is hatred in the hearts of humanity. As opposed to the mortal Zemus who wanted to destroy life on Earth so that Lunarians could settle there, Zeromus just wants to destroy everything. As paper thin as that is, we at least know where Zeromus came from and why he wants to destroy everything. Necron just shows up out of nowhere and decides to kill everyone because reasons.

Break up with her, she deserves better than you.
