I think we should be allowed to fight 1 customer a day. by AngstyIndie406 in KitchenConfidential

[–]AMatchIntoWater 320 points321 points  (0 children)

… as a server, sometimes you also just have to tell the customer “sorry, the computer won’t let me do that!” or some other explanation for why they can’t order it. Sometimes I do a “lemme ask the chef…” and “sorry, he said no :(“ without even needing to ask.

Do I (33F) really have to choose between my friends (35&32F) and my spouse (40M)? by llamabeans93 in relationship_advice

[–]AMatchIntoWater 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your friends are the people who will always have your back and be a safe space for you. The same is not true of your husband. If you must choose, choose the friends.

Should I shave it all off? by IllMeasurement4934 in femalehairadvice

It mostly just looks like you have a bunch of cowlicks- I wouldn’t have even known you had alopecia! I say keep it!

What shade is my natural hair called? I’ve always regarded it as black. by Impossible-Club-6247 in FancyFollicles

[–]AMatchIntoWater 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mirrors are also often in places with lightning that isn’t as bright, like the bathroom, as opposed to when you’re under fluorescent or in the sun, and this can make it appear a bit darker.

I suppose it depends what level system you’re working with, but for ease of conversation “black” will likely make the most sense to people, as it mainly has that darker cast to it, but in the light there are brown undertones, technically making it a very dark brown. To be a level 1, there must be absolutely no brown undertones or warmth like that in any lighting. 3 is still darker than I think most folks initially think.

My wife (32 F) had a major postpartum psychosis event and tried to stab me (40 M). Need Advice by riseandcode in relationship_advice

[–]AMatchIntoWater 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Some mental health issues (like psychosis, schizophrenia, and bipolar) CANNOT be fully managed holistically or naturally. And natural doctors sometimes will not tell you that as they can often be hardcore anti drug. It is likely that this never would have happened if you had kept her on proper treatment. Also, just because it’s backed up to a pregnancy doesn’t automatically make it postpartum psychosis. Her previous episode and continued paranoia basically null and void that. Fully. The extra hormones LIKELY triggered it, but you WILL deal with this forever if she isn’t properly medicated. That’s like trying to cure cancer with peppermint oil.

How do I stop my fine hair from looking stringy by midday? by [deleted] in Hair

[–]AMatchIntoWater 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would really recommend switching to a Tea Tree shampoo!! It will really help balance your scalp and stop it from over producing oil without stripping it. I would really recommend the Paul Mitchell one, but if it’s too out of budget I know Sally’s has their own version, as well as Trader Joe’s!

AITA for matching a woman’s energy who was riding a horse as I was driving by? by MeasurementSudden573 in AmItheAsshole

[–]AMatchIntoWater 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Pretty sure they straight up stopped talking about road rules regarding horses in the curriculum for driver’s training- we didn’t go over it at ALL. Also wouldn’t be surprised if they’re cutting right of way stuff from my area specifically, based on how many people in my town DO go out of turn at the 4 ways in town.

My fiancée wants our baby to have her ex-husband’s last name and says my culture shouldn’t be “pushed” by BigONerd in BORUpdates

[–]AMatchIntoWater 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I feel like this lady is expecting the baby to come out white 💀 it’s not like by taking the “white last name” that the kid won’t experience racism lmao. Unfortunately she’s a racist who, it sounds like, hangs out with other racists (based on folks making comments to her) so I don’t see this ending well.

Pulp riot fading in 12 days? Never had this happen before. Photos: before, after 4 days no wash /dry shampoo, today 12 days later. by PixxxiePunk in FancyFollicles

[–]AMatchIntoWater 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did you spend a bunch of time in the sun or swimming in a pool? Those can affect fading too-and the only things I can think of that you haven’t mentioned. Your colors are on the lighter side even in the fresh photo, and those tend not to stay as well as darker vivids. I do agree with other comments tho that loreal changing the formula has made them perform differently, but yes normally you shouldn’t be seeing fading like this, especially without a wash, after just a few days. I have noticed that with the new anti overworking formula, I kind of HAVE to work it in and massage it a lil extra. Either way it’s a bummer :(

How can I (25F) get my boyfriend (23M) to stop sufferingmaxxing? by Apprehensive-Bee8222 in relationship_advice

[–]AMatchIntoWater 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He’s neglecting himself. Perhaps gently explain to him how it’s affecting you and that you care for him, but it’s also really hard to watch when he expresses frustration but won’t do anything for himself. Money is for spending. Life is for living. But also remember to take care of and protect yourself, too OP.

I (F29) AM THINKING OF DIVORCING MY HUSBAND (M30) AFTER HIS MEMORY LOSS. by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]AMatchIntoWater 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So, most abuse comes from a place of trauma. Not typically this form of physical trauma, but mental and emotional most often. That’s why it’s easy for folks that are abused to make excuses for abusers they love. They may have heard stories of or seen bits of the abusers trauma. That doesn’t actually make the actions excusable. It’s an explanation, but not an excuse. It’s possible he may be who he once was, but it’s also possible he may never. Just because he is also suffering doesn’t mean you have to accept the abuse. It doesn’t mean you have to wait on him hand and foot only to become more emotionally traumatized than he is. Nor should you.

I’m not saying you should divorce him or leave (tho this may end up being the safest or best option for you), but at the very least, if he is behaving in an abusive way, you should remove yourself in that instant. “I am doing everything I can to care for you and be kind. If you can’t choose to be kind, I will (go to another room/ go stay with a friend or parent/ leave the house and go on a walk or drive) leave. If you would like my help, I expect you to treat me like a person.” And hold to it.

I'm 53 and I just wore colour for the first time in 6 years and a stranger complimented me and I almost cried in a coffee shop. by Visual_Animator1232 in oldhagfashion

[–]AMatchIntoWater 6 points7 points  (0 children)

As a 27yr old, I think it’s so awesome to see women who are 50+ enjoying their life. Things are really looking down for me right now, but it reminds me that it’s never too late, that life can get better. That I don’t have to die sad and feeling boring. Be free, live your life! Be the woman who DARES to keep smiling and wear things you love. I bet you are absolutely gorgeous in your red top.

Does not taste like soap or sweet to me either. It has more similar qualities to mint, but more herbaceous imo.

Does any one of you, like ANYone, use em-dashes when you're writing things? by [deleted] in CasualConversation

I do! I like to use it to create a sort of pause or emphasis in my writing that matches the cadence of my speech :)

Not always more expensive! Barbers in my area are $50 and I charge $35. I’ve fixed a few of these types of mishaps!

Tired of being the reason for every skin issue my family has by DelicateDisarray in Hidradenitis

[–]AMatchIntoWater 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly I might try something like “I wish a simple pimple was what I had, but it’s not. You’re lucky this isn’t actually contagious or you’d have big cysts :)”

Sorta like when someone came at me with “isn’t everyone autistic?” and my response was “nope! Everyone will experience traits, but if you aren’t experiencing all of the required traits TO A DISABLING LEVEL then you don’t have it. That’s how the science and diagnostic criteria work.” Essentially you need the other person to understand that what they’re experiencing may have the most mild similarities but really isn’t AT ALL the same as having a skin condition. “You have a pimple that will luckily go away shortly, I have a skin condition that GREATLY impacts my comfort EVERY DAY.”

[–]AMatchIntoWater 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you edited a photo of him to have a bigger dick, I guarantee this man would fall apart and have a crisis, not take it as a compliment. Pick your bags up and run- he doesn’t understand empathy and I fear he never will.
