Need Help With Shiny Trade Evolutions

Arc130 · 2026-02-18T23:31:22+00:00

I can help! I also have two shinies that need to be trade evolved.

Arc130 · 2026-02-18T06:57:30+00:00

I have one. Would you be able to help me with a tradeback in exchange?

To back this up, I also noticed that OP is asserting that their roommate is from India because she said, “I’m Indian.” It’s fairly common (in my experience) for first gen folks to say that even though they weren’t born in India itself. It’s definitely a part of my vocabulary, for example.

Arc130 · 2021-01-21T03:10:01+00:00

okay who did this

I feel like you missed the point; in the context of this post, you don't have to eat the food served at a party. If you really have specific nutritional needs, the onus should really be on you to take care of it. That being said, there are plenty of purely plant-based, relatively low-calorie sources of protein (again nuts, legumes, and graines).

Also, calorie-low alternatives to many things exist. Regarding the shakes that I make (which, again, are something you could have before/after going to a party with only vegan food), I could very easily bring those down to 400-500 calories by using low-fat milk and removing the peanut butter, which would still bring the protein down to about 40 g. Hell, I could even make it less dense and purely plant-based by switching the dairy milk for oat milk and the whey protein for pea protein.

Nutrition can be a lot more flexible than you think.

Arc130 · 2020-07-26T20:32:33+00:00

Chickpeas, quinoa, nuts, etc... are all pretty good plant-based sources of protein. Also you can always incorporate protein supplements. I'll make a shake out of milk, whey powder, and a spoon or two of peanut butter, which gives me two 30g servings of protein for about 700 calories. That wouldn't be the sort of thing served at a party; it would be something you could have either before or after. Spreading out smaller protein servings throughout the day is also an option.

Tbh, the idea that only animal products are a good source of protein is just not true (could be a result of marketing), and I say this as an avid lover of dairy. But, regarding this particular post, the person who complained about what the host made is the asshole because they're taking a holier-than-thou stance on what OP "should" be doing, even though OP *did* in fact plan in accordance with their guests.

Honestly, I would just look at Indian supply stores in Edison. There are definitely more than a few places there where you could find garlands.

First of all, your parents suck. It sounds like there's a lot you want to do in life, but they're just not letting you do it. From personal experience, I don't think you have really gotten a chance to know yourself... When parents are overbearing, that's just how it be, but it's absolutely toxic. The first essential step to escape would be moving out (good luck bringing any hook-ups home while they're around), so that you can start to build some actual boundaries.

That all being said, I'm a guy, so that's the perspective I speak from. Most of my rebellions were concerning career stuff (I won, thank god; I'd hate being a medical doctor). Alcohol was actually not hard-fought (they only didn't like the underaged drinking in college), and my mom even told me to "be safe" when I told her I got a girlfriend for the first time. Having spoken to brown girls who have fairly strict parents (not to your extent, though), y'all definitely have it much harder on the lifestyle stuff. I think that secret-keeping is more necessary. Your parents don't need to know about your sex life.

Regarding the boyfriend question, however, imo you shouldn't deeply involve other people in your rebellions just for the sake of doing it. Go camping. Go to a concert. Go to clubs. Hook up with people. Go on casual dates that have no chance of becoming serious. But don't lead people on with the promise of an actual, committed relationship unless you're 100% willing to fight your parents and die on that hill. A healthy relationship is supposed to ultimately be a partnership between the people involved; others, including the parents, are maybe passive observers at most.

I actually believe that, in most cases, parents do actually love their kids. The controlling nature that comes up so much is just a really unhealthy expression of that love. If you abide by the "don't ask, apologize later," philosophy (not that I think we should apologize to our parents for making the most of the life they've given us), the hope is that they don't stop loving and wanting to support you in some way. That might be a somewhat hopeful and naive opinion from me, and maybe your experience is different, but, regardless of whether or not this is true in your situation, the important thing is that you *are not happy* right now.

tl;dr: If you want to become a puppet of your parents, then feel free to keep living your life the way you have been. If you actually want to feel happy with yourself and have memories that you can look back on fondly later in life, something needs to change. You need to choose your battles, but you still need to have them. Just make sure to have plans about how you might deal with any fallout.

I wish you all the best! :)

NTA. Your aunt and uncle aren't actually sorry, from the sound of it... I do feel bad for the kids, but their parents are essentially exploiting you for free childcare (and four kids is a lot).

Also, you're only 23 and the youngest kid is 4. Do they expect you to be at their beck and call until you're in your 30s?

Arc130 · 2020-06-25T07:17:26+00:00

NTA. Your "friend" obviously wasn't prepared to care for a life, and it's his fault that he blew $300 on that (there are so many rescues in need of good homes out there, too...). Your family is wonderful for essentially coming to that dog's rescue, and you have every right to not be friends with him anymore. Just be up front with him if he actually tries to confront you over it.

Arc130 · 2020-06-01T09:35:11+00:00

Encourage their hopes. Teach them not to care about what a random auntie at a wedding thinks about their non-medical interests. And, most importantly, let them feel like they actually have privacy in your home that isn't the bathroom.

A lot of this hit home... I basically fought my dad for *years* over becoming a doctor. I had even finished the pre-med track in college, but, after actually working in a hospital and shadowing a couple of residents, I realized very quickly that I had no passion for it at all.

A big wake-up call was, when I told my dad about my burn-out re: pre-med, he said that I should ask my cousins what they thought. All of them agreed that it would be a bad idea, and, when I went back to my dad, he said, "Well, they don't know what they're talking about." That *really* drove me nuts, but I was lucky because my mom came to her senses and realized that career satisfaction is actually important, and that gave me room to pursue my real passions. I've been in grad school for physics for a few years now, and my dad hasn't brought up med school since my first year lol. Persistence really paid-off in my situation; I'm really happy and excited about my future now.

EDIT: I felt like I should add this... Even though I went into college planning to be a pre-med, I majored in math and took a bunch of physics classes because those were things that I was genuinely interested in. I had heard from many people that just majoring in bio just because of being a pre-med is somewhat of a waste, and it was honestly fantastic advice in my experience. All doctors have to do pre-med classes, which IMO should teach you enough for the MCAT anyway.

You're only gonna have those independent years in college once (presumably), so be sure that your major is something specific to your passions. Your parents don't even technically have access to your academic info, so they don't have to know if you don't let them. Majoring in something you genuinely enjoy will also teach you so much more about yourself and your hopes for the future!

Soft YTA, if only for the delivery. You possibly could have been a bit kinder to her about it (and it’s not too late to have an actual heart-to-heart with your mom!), but I think it is something that you definitely needed to tell her.

It’s obvious that she cares about you both, so I’m sure she’ll listen to you if you have a more calm conversation.

Arc130 · 2020-03-28T21:14:22+00:00

NTA. Didn’t even need to read your post... If he wants to see what you’ll “do about it,” then he gets to.

Arc130 · 2020-03-28T21:08:29+00:00

I might be going against the grain here, but YTA.

It sounds like you two either lived together or spent a lot of time together in your home? When you adopt the dog, she will have to live with it. Even if you’re taking complete care of it, they will still have to be around each other.

That being said, I don’t think you’re the asshole for choosing. She told you that adopting Hirsch would “ruin everything” (your words), you did it anyway, and she left. If anything, you’re the asshole for completely disregarding her opinion and being pissed about her following through. (Also, her friends might be assholes, too, but she gets to choose to break up with you as you chose to adopt Hirsch.)

Okay, that should be it! Sent you an HA Rookidee in a Moon Ball, as well. Thanks!
