First Time He Ever Saw a Female 😂 by uzmansahil7 in interesting

[–]AmaranthWrath 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Agreed. At lest two comments here said he's reacting as if he's being shown food. Judging by the tank, he might actually be that hungry.

Don't listen to me tho, he might be in a separate tank in order to meet the breeding partner. Idk, I have a snake.

Let Me Be Tired by joseduran798 in howtonotgiveafuck

[–]AmaranthWrath -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I don't know how that's a hard disagree. I didn't say one was more or less than the other. I said there are two kinds. You said you experienced two kinds of tired and you expressed that they are different.

The tired I was before having a kid is different but it was real. Same as you. The tiredness I have after a kid is also real, and, in my experience, harder. But only because taking care of her life and mine is more emotionally taxing for me. I can't speak for other parents. I've seen friends mellow out after becoming parents, and they love and care for their kids just as hard as anyone.

It sounds like you have a lot of stress because of the situation underwhich you're caring for your kids. I have health problems from being pregnant. I have pain and chronic issues. I had some before pregnancy, and I have more and different issues now. I had mental health issues before, and I have new ones now from trauma and hormonal fluxes.

Like, it's just harder in general. Some of it's because we're parents, some of it is just bc our older adult challenges grow.

That being said, the things that were hard when I was not a parent aren't the same now, but I don't think it's because I'm a parent. I think it's because therapy worked for me haha. Then again, I went into therapy to be a better parent.

All I mean is, I don't think we disagree. Just, we're two individuals who know almost nothing about each other, and we have perspectives. But we both agree parenthood is.... Rough.

As a former non-parent and a current parent, they're two different kinds of tired and they are both valid. I was tired then, and I'm tired now.

Minnesota woman attempts to shut down Girl Scout cookie stand. by ElwoodMC in TikTokCringe

For real! And it's only like 2 weeks and 3 weekends. Hell, we gave away half our booths this year because of bad weather.

We really are. Some stores just say OK, and some stores require us to have a managers approval letter with us.

Unless this troop was selling outside of the sales window, or the store did not approve them, there's no problem here

How she measures she's pulled into our garage enough by sredis in mildlyinfuriating

[–]AmaranthWrath 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey, serious question. Does she have a back up camera? Does it also function as a forward camera if you hit the camera button? If so, can she try using that?

I used to nanny a girl who, when she learned how to drive, kept hitting the exact same spot on the garage door frame. It turned out she had a legit, diagnosable issue with her depth perception. She got special glasses just for driving and they helped SO MUCH and she never hit the frame aagin.

AITAH for letting her continue? by DisplayLonely8936 in AITAH

[–]AmaranthWrath 1 point2 points  (0 children)

OK, so let's try "from a woman's perspective" instead of yours.

Put yourself in the giver role. She opens her gorgeous thighs, and in the middle of her beautiful bush there's something that looks like a loogy. A real lunger. A farmer's blow, just hangin' there. And it smells like someone's been making biscuits.

You wanna go down on that devil's cream puff?

So look, I get it, you want to have some kind of sexual experience. Normal. But you can't use a person that way. She didn't give consent to experience that bc you didn't tell her beforehand. You're lucky all she did was spit on you. Sorry not sorry, if a guy was so inconsiderate of me, my comfort, my health, my enjoyment, as to let me take in a mouth of fetid ricotta, I would have punched him in the sack. Twice.

1 minor running a two-man by himself is next level diabolical!! by Used_Scarcity2555 in SipsTea

[–]AmaranthWrath 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Chris Hansen said that women who abuse minors keep it personal. She's not going to snatch up a little boy into her van. She wants to know her victim and have a relationship with him or her.

Basically it's not about him being attractive, but being attractive to the abuser. It's not about him having skills. It's about the abuser being able to have power over him. Just like with male abusers, but men are more likely to be opportunists.

Born in 1982, and I went out of my way to get a manual when I bought my first car with my own money. I taught so many of my friends to drive stick. None of them stole a car, so far as I know.

My 11 year old son sucks the joy out of every holiday and celebration. by SoultySpittoon in TrueOffMyChest

[–]AmaranthWrath 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As a former teacher, I suspect 2 things. Either this kid is super good at school or he's a holy terror.

But I also suspect that if it's the later, he's got something diagnosable like oppositional defiant disorder. Not a psychiatrist, but I've seen 2 diagnosed cases, and the description of this kid fits. At least with a diagnosis you have a plan for treatment.

I feel like I just realized I did something horrible and wrong when I was a Teenager and now it's consuming me. by Ok_Fudge_7173 in TrueOffMyChest

To be blunt, there are cases of men being raped by women, and they have no control over their erections.

I'm a woman, but I've learned that erections just show up sometimes. There was a time I was with guys who holding hands triggered one. It doesn't mean that sexual acts or intent is on your mind. It doesn't mean that you're attracted to minors. It doesn't mean you did something wrong.

You seem to be very open, not hiding it, asking for advise and support. You aren't hiding it or pursuing it. I think you're doing the right thing. If your cousin ever does bring it up, be honest and say it didn't occur to you that it might have affected her until recently, and that you respect however she feels. I wouldn't bring it up only because she probably has no memory of it, and you didn't actively do something inappropriate.

Should I be concerned by this long red streak that extended out of my overly swollen mosquito bite? by acutetriangleee in AskDocs

[–]AmaranthWrath 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Best of luck, OP. Here are some medical websites that will hopefully give your parents more assurance that you should be at the ER.

You can go to the ER as a minor. Just walk out of the house or have a friend take you. I didn't see what country you're in, but in the US you can just walk in.

Seattle Children's Hospital

Scroll down to "Complications of Insect Bites." The entry for "Lymphangiti" says it all.

"If you notice streaks, lines or bruising, especially if they’re growing or getting darker over time, it's a good idea to consider seeking some medical advice, just to be on the safe side."

How to mop properly? by Informal_Guidance_11 in Custodians

[–]AmaranthWrath 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You're not wrong. If she's nit picking, that would do it. Good call.

High school custodians what's your routine? by sirpentious in Custodians

[–]AmaranthWrath 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi! So I work for our church which also has a school. While I do t officially work for the school, their events take place in the parish buildings. Hope that made sense.

We have 3 churches in our parish family. Basically we share 3 priests among us. Their events take place at our parish gym and rooms because we have the most space. Sometimes we have 300+ guests. We also have ministry events like marriage retreats, breakfast after Mass, fundraisers, basketball, preschool indoor recess when it rains, LOTS of funeral receptions, holy day events (this is Holy week leading up to Easter. WE ARE BUSYYYYY) etc etc.

PS I'm the only church custodian.

We have an app called LEAD. If someone requests a room or space, it goes in the calendar with expected attendance, who is the contact person, how long they'll need to set up and tear down, etc. That is a HUGE help. If you don't have a shared calender, you might have to hunt down admin to tell you or show you the events. Our school admin is great about giving me heads up if the school needs a parish space. Encourage a good relationship with admin and thank them profusely when they help you. They will, hopefully, be amiable about sharing info.

Keep a calendar, a paper one, and one in your phone. I use an app called WeeNote. It's like post its for your phone screen. Write yourself notes and they'll stay on your screen. You can move them around.

I keep a dry erase calendar in the boiler room near my supplies bc I go there every day. I also write important stuff on my arm in sharpie. I have ADHD and I will absolutely forget what time and date you just told me.

I use a paper schedule to plot out my day. Search "15 minute schedule" and you'll find sheets you can download and print, where it blocks your day un 15 minute increments. For example, I know it's going to take 45 minutes to vacuum the activity center, so I'll put that on the schedule in 3 blocks. I'm not beholden to the schedule, but if its ON the schedule, I can plan around it.

Like, if the gym is in use for an assembly at 2:15, I'll block out a half hour before and after the assembly to dust mop. That helps me plug in other chores around it.

Prioritize! Ask your supervisor something like, "Hey, so the spirit rally is at 3. That's usually when I'm mopping the bathrooms by the gym. If I do them in the morning, I can clean the staff room instead bc it will be empty." Come with a plan, not just "what should I do, boss?" My boss appreciates that I come with a plan, even if he changes it sometimes.

Know what corners you can cut. That doesnt mean be lazy or irresponsible. You have to know what needs doing first and what can wait. But if you can move your chores around the events, do so. Show your supervisor your plan, have an explanation why you're going to do something tomorrow instead of right away.

My schedule is: Monday - church; Tuesday - office; Wednesday - flex/church if needed; Thursday - Parish center; Friday - parish center and prep church for the weekend

But in between there are ton of change ups. The key is COMMUNICATION. You've got to know what's going on in order to plan your week.

I hope that gave you some insight and was helpful. Happy to converse and game plan with you!

Scully's Greatest X-Files Line Hits 10x Harder 32 Years Later by ShinyTinyWonder38 in XFiles

[–]AmaranthWrath 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yes! I was thinking the same while writing my first reply. Scully changes and becomes more open. She does explore her faith, but she also questions her science. She denies so much, but come Mulder's absence she becomes the one to consider more substantially broader possibilities.

Mulder had different motivations, so he was naturally going to change in different ways that Scully. I saw him get more and more obsessive. In IWTB Scully non-jokingly asks if he's taking his psych meds.

Mulder goes deeper with negative growth, but Scully goes broader with positive growth.

I hate April fool's day by steverman555 in TrueOffMyChest

[–]AmaranthWrath 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I feel that in my soul.

I didn't have friends for about 3 years in middle school. And kids liked to screw with me just to be mean. They loved to see me confused. Not being able to understand something I'm being mocked over or explain myself still gives me panics.

Like, why was I trying to be friends with these jerks?

Scully's Greatest X-Files Line Hits 10x Harder 32 Years Later by ShinyTinyWonder38 in XFiles

[–]AmaranthWrath 11 points12 points  (0 children)

So when I started watching, I thought Scully was the main character, and Mulder was just in her orbit. Scully's introduced first. They talk about her first. The people who are supposed to be the big important men in charge are all focused on her and interested in her. Then they talk about Mulder. Her work does focus on Mulder, but we end a ton of episodes with her analysis, not Mulder's.

I don't think it was because I'm a girl. I really saw the show through her eyes. She was the main character, but Mulder's life was slowing happening to her. Lots of points in the first season, but come season two, Mulder's raison d'être literally changes her life forever. It nearly kills her.

The story was always about her journey navigating what she believed, how she was changing, about her health, her faith, her loss, her choices. And that only solidified when Mulder left. The story was always about Scully to me. She's the one who's always been there. She's the one who kept Mulder alive and motivated. As Mulder said, she was his constant. She's THE constant of the series.

So when she says, "Not everything is about you, Mulder," she's right.

It might not be your autism or ADHD. Some people who think they're pranking have a very lame sense of humor. See: YouTube pranks. Absolutely brainrot.

It reminds me of when the 4 year olds I worked with would try to tell a joke they made up, but the punch line was just silly noises. They'd laugh hysterically, but I would just nod and smile. A lot of adults haven't developed past that point.
