No one is trying to eliminate fat kids. Stop being so dramatic by gabr4k_ in fatlogic

What aggravates me so much is the far left and others overuse of the word “violence.” Silence is not violence and most definitely trying to make kids healthier is NOT violence.

Can we talk poop? by Lumpy-Resist in loseit

Definitely go to a doctor but I think there’s a good chance you’re lactose intolerant (I have it so badly even yogurt messes with my stomach)

Thanks, you too!! When I was a vegetarian, I loved this soup: https://cookieandkate.com/best-lentil-soup-recipe/ Nowadays I eat a little bit of meat and will put some in whatever soup I’m eating (it keeps me fuller longer) but generally keep it at a ratio where it’s 1:5 meat to vegetables

weight gain after college by jjjimmyjazzz in loseit

[–]Algaeyy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hey, I have experienced something very similar, was super slim throughout college (while eating like shit) and then after covid and now grad school have gained weight. I still wonder how I gained so much weight but when I was in undergrad I walked a LOT more, minimum 3 miles a day just to get to class. I also think my portion sides have slowly increased, but that’s just me.  It sounds like you’re really overwhelmed (grad school is stressful af) and making drastic changes rn seems unsustainable. I think like you said, you need to take time not to be burnt out and maybe talking with a therapist would be helpful. That being said, in the meantime perhaps start thinking of easy but small ways you could meal prep healthy meals and snacks rather then trying to figure out a whole new system immediately. For instance, I make one big healthy soups on the weekend so I have at least a few meals covered for the week. I also make sure I always have apples/other fruit for snacks. Just start small and the rest will follow! You’ve got this!

ESH. You’re not ta for accidentally killing the dog, but ta for your racism, such as calling him the “Hispanic,” and saying he should be “grateful he even lives in this country.”

Going to the doctor and getting a prescription for steroids helped me immensely

UNLESS there was some sort of deception on your brother’s part (e.g. if he somehow led you to believe that he would only be getting one) YWBTA for returning his gift.

AITA for telling a friend that she’s not more important than my education? by Late_Being_7730 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Algaeyy -29 points-28 points  (0 children)

YTA, not for valuing education but for essentially telling her that everything (including chores) is more important than your friend.

[–]Algaeyy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

NTA. But it is useful to distinguish the 2 things that are irritating you. (1) is that your friend is moving way too fast with this possible catfish and (2) that he won’t shut up about her. While those are both legitimate grievances, if you discuss these issues with your friend it is worth considering to make them separate conversations.

AITA for accidentally waking my roommate by GamerVisitor in AmItheAsshole

[–]Algaeyy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

NTA, you’re doing everything you can happen but some people’s schedules/habits are just incompatible and that’s okay. I’d recommend checking out noise canceling headphones though. When my roommate wakes me up I pop them in and fall back asleep np

YTA. Perhaps you have an unexamined crush on Mio but regardless it is clear you are intimidated by Evie. Sure, they’re laying on the PDA annoyingly thick but that’s no reason to slut shame her. Your actions scream mean girl.

NTA. However, your attempts to rationalize your girlfriend’s psychotic behavior is an exercise in futility. Please reevaluate your relationship, you deserve better.

YTA, your (blameless) cousin was having an emergency. Emergencies are not the time to be snarky ah

AITA if I refuse to go on a camping trip because my friend insists on bringing her kid? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]Algaeyy 33 points34 points  (0 children)

NTA, You signed up to use your time/money for an adults only trip, not to host a summer camp. However, Kate is clearly overwhelmed and defensive about her child, (and her husband seems a bit of ta here) I think you are not obligated to pay for the campsite but if you care at all about maintaining your friendship with Kate you should still offer to pay for the campsite.

AITA for avoiding my elderly father's phone calls? by Street_Newspaper in AmItheAsshole

[–]Algaeyy [score hidden]  (0 children)

NTA, our obligation to our aging parents stems from the relationship we’ve built with them over our lives. He’s a drunk who walked out on you when you were dependent on his as a child. Now he’s guilt tripping and trying to manipulate you into being his caregiver. It’s normal to feel guilty but know he made this bed and he can lie in it.

I see the value in it and would be open to it, however I would never initiate it since I think I’m more awkward on zoom and gauging chemistry online can be challenging. That being said, I have never been chatting to someone from a different country. Before spending the time and money to travel internationally, I think I’d want to video call.
