The same company fired him multiple times from transferred positions but let him back to the previous one where he was successful enough to get promoted, then let him transferred a third time and got fired again? I want to work for three-strikes company, goddamn.

Sure but that initial 10-15 pounds that pretty much anyone loses as soon as they start trying isn't the alarming/surprising thing. Keeping it happening at that same rate for months on end is.

Yeah, I know that once you're in full-swing anorexia you actually can't hardly eat anything. I was doing nothing but drinking diet coke and eating shirataki noodles (with salt!) and you still stop losing weight, somehow. Or the rate goes way, way down. Your metabolism craps out and your body stops feeling your brain and itself so you're woozy and you sleep like 20 hours at a go.

Tax advice for my sister please?

My little sister worked at a small restaurant in a very small town. They paid her under the table, and refused to take any taxes out of her checks.

Today, they called her up and presented her with this:

That expat dude who wanted to beat up a lady, didn't because he was punked out by her husband and his friend group is all white guys with Korean wives that clearly hate each other, but have to pretend to be friends was one of the most pathetic things I've seen itt.

Since I was beaten to the lowest hanging put down joke, what is up with biting people anyway? Honestly, it's so weird. People that want to get physical and start biting. Why. We don't even have good biting teeth.

My mom never took him to get checked out. I suspect he's somewhere on the spectrum. He's a 23 year old do-nothing who plays video games all day, gets whatever he wants, lives on pepperoni pizza and never has to do anything that might make him uncomfortable.

My mom just babied him and thought his behaviour was perfectly fine. I turned out okay, so he should be fine too! I did have to see the school councillor for a while when I was young to help control my crying issues though. My brother never even got that, despite severe picky eating issues, tantrums, inability to sleep without having Garfield comics read to him every night, obsessions with certain characters, and anti-social behaviour which once included snarling like a dog at a cousin because she touched his game case.

The blanking out and not responding sounds like childhood absence seizures. Often they stop occurring post adolescence without requiring treatment (although treatment is a good idea since seizures aren't great for your brain). Anyone can get them but they are more common for kids on the autism spectrum, which fits with a lot of the other info you have given.

I've been in a relationship with my girlfriend for about a year. We're both in college and everything has been going great. We get along well, enjoy similar hobbies and generally have a lot of fun being around each other.

About 5 months into the relationship, she started to stay overnight at my place often. We'd usually end up at my place if we were out late or wanted to do something indoors. Everything was going great at this point. She has similar life goals as myself and we are very comfortable with each other. (ie. Maybe leaving the bathroom door open a bit too often but that's not the real issue)

About 2 months ago, she started to stay overnight here almost every night. About 5-6 times a week. She insisted that I should cuddle with her before bed, but I did make it clear that I would rather not have to do this so often while going to sleep quite a while ago and she knows it too. There wasn't any argument over this but a week later, she started bringing an anime body pillow onto the bed to fall asleep with it.

I'm honestly fine with it because we're both huge anime fans and I'm pretty sure I watch a lot more than her. She usually uses two pillows with pictures of Makoto from "Free!" and Kurosaki Ranmaru from "Uta no Prince Sama." This didn't bother me until we decided to have sex one night. She was on top of me and then placed one of her pillows in between us. I didn't understand this, at first, but she started to fantasize about the characters on the pillows themselves. This would happen every time whenever we'd be intimate in any way on my bed for the next month.

The situation started to worry me and we've tried to have a discussion about it. She told me that she feels safer and more relaxed by doing this. I argued that she's just fantasizing about those anime characters and using myself to do so. We had a fight about this and I haven't been in any mood lately to do anything more than just literally fall asleep with her because of this.

When I ask her not to bring the pillow onto the bed, she claims it's like falling asleep with a stuffed animal. Sometimes, I just end up sleeping on the couch because it's really starting to irritate me. I do cuddle with her pretty often so she has no reason to do this. It just started because I wanted a bit of space, that's all. Everything else in the relationship is still going well but this has been bothering me a lot lately.

What should I do and how can I talk her into not bringing her pillows onto my bed?? Any advice would be great, thanks.

tl;dr: My girlfriend uses her anime pillows to get off while we have sex and won't stop bringing them onto the bed.
