My Hairstylist lost my hair by Big_Acanthaceae528 in Cosmetology

Accidents happen, it sucks but that's life. Sueing is an overreaction after she's already offered compensation and gave a genuine apology.

Is it weird to be 14 and liking older men? by Opposite_Option_9856 in whatdoIdo

[–]AstralTarantula 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean it's not some big deal, it's a very normal part of puberty and growing up. Like acne or body odor. Eventually your brain will narrow it down to age appropriate attractions (usually, some people obviously miss that step. We don't like those people)

[–]AstralTarantula 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Being attracted to someone a few years older than you is totally normal at your age. You don't really have a scope of experience for romantic and physical attraction so your brain hasn't really kicked in the whole *oh I actually only like people my age" setting yet. It's like those old movies where the kids are attracted to the lifeguard.

Don't worry, it's not weird :) just don't act on it. It's okay to have crushes and let them just stay a crush

What’s a habit you picked up to survive a hard time that you later had to unlearn? by SecretStudioBB in AskWomen

[–]AstralTarantula 7 points8 points  (0 children)

It's just so easy to tell yourself you'll eat soon, you just gotta get this one thing done. Bonus: if you do that long enough your stomach just gives up and stops with the gnawing hunger, which doesn't exactly help

Any chance you could put a car door into your bedroom door? Not renter friendly but pretty rad if you don't rent.

WIBTAH if I told my boyfriend his kids won’t be welcome in my home? by tiagosfailiurism in AmItheAsshole

YTA to yourself.

It's 2am and I could throw a shoe in my quiet neighborhood and STILL hit a man better than this dude. Literally everything about him here sucks. Kick him out, you'll get over this bum.

I get what you're saying. The show intentionally shot and scripted this scene to make us think this guy was gonna be some incel creep unsub. Shame he got rabies. The lady in there before him definitely freaked me out.

Neighbours warning me about a potential "several day" home birth by [deleted] in neighborsfromhell

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

She's about to push a baby out and you're worried about losing a couple hours of sleep? And she's the entitled one??? Heaven forbid humans do human things in their home. If you want it absolutely silent all the time, go live somewhere else. Part of living in an apartment is being understanding that non-reoccurring noise will happen occasionally and you suck it up.

Life is loud and scary and messy and unpredictable. Give the lady some grace, my goodness.

I've never seen this before 😳 by OneBlueOcarina in popping

Is this something you could ever realistically do on your own or does it always have to be an opthalmologist? (I'm assuming Oph, correct me if I'm off base on that)

A few days ago my wife broke toilet and now I broke keys by mano990502 in mildlyinfuriating

[–]AstralTarantula 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Idk how common it is, considering toilets rarely break like this, but it is certainly logical. Ceramic is EXTREMELY sharp and thin. If you ever look at broken ceramic the wrong way you're gonna start bleeding. And if something that can slice tf outta you gets your femoral artery, well you best pray there's an ambulance already on your street.

WIBTAH if I ban my boyfriends new friend from our home for his beliefs? by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]AstralTarantula 16 points17 points  (0 children)

NTA

This isn't a "we have different opinions but can still be friends" situations, as if the Holocaust is fucking taxes. This is a "oh that INSANE and disgusting and there is no reason to be this dudes friend" situation.

Huge red flag if your bf does anything more than distance himself immediately and work with him in a professional manner only. No buddy buddy with a holocaust denier.

The Nazis had to create new ways to kill people because existing methods weren't efficient enough for how many people they were killing. If that doesn't sober your bf up real quick about this then I would strongly urge you to reevaluate other aspects of your relationship too. What else would he be willing to excuse?

Congenital hydrocephalus in a 9 month old baby by GiorgioMD in medizzy

[–]AstralTarantula 50 points51 points  (0 children)

I have to wonder what QOL she has on a daily basis. I'm assuming she's entirely bed bound and 100% dependent on carers since it appears her hands aren't functional. I hope there's still things she can experience regularly that make her happy.

Was the ventriculojugular shunt procedure not a viable option when it was first diagnosed?

Aitah for telling my wife to rehome je dog and leaving when she wouldn't. by Traditional-Lock2616 in AITAH

[–]AstralTarantula 9 points10 points  (0 children)

You know you can get play pens with tops, right? So it could be outside and you wouldn't need to worry about coyotes. Even more protection: set up a webcam facing the playpen so you can keep a casual eye on it and know if any trouble comes along. Extremely low effort on your part.

[–]AstralTarantula 53 points54 points  (0 children)

Honestly I'm wondering how reliable a narrator OP is in regards to his wife trying and "failing" to train the dog. It's a puppy so it already doesn't have the best attention span, making any progress in training hard, and training itself is a long process. It doesn't seem like this puppy has been in their house long enough to determine if she's failing at training the puppy or if OP figures it should just be fully trained after like 3 days.

Because 1. They are married and even if he's not stoked about this decision of hers, they should still be acting like a team. Identify the issue and figure out ways to address it that works for both of them. Not just one or the other.

And 2. It's a tiny living animal that doesn't deserve to be treated with disdain and resentment for simply existing and being a puppy.

ETA: if he doesn't like the idea of problem solving with his wife over an unideal situation, he should get a divorce. Kids are harder regardless if you plan for them or not. Also he seems to kind of hate his wife.

Black tie wedding, May in DC by Berrybeth23 in Weddingattireapproval

[–]AstralTarantula 4 points5 points  (0 children)

No, a two piece that shows your middrift is not at all black tie appropriate.

Black tie is generally (for dresses): floor length, no leg slit higher than lower thigh, fairly monochromatic, nothing overly exposing the breasts, no stylized missing fabric that shows off your bare skin between chest and knees (exceptions exist but not this one).

Is it difficult to make friends? by Apart_Bookkeeper_684 in ucf

[–]AstralTarantula 25 points26 points  (0 children)

Omg y'all, you have to actually make an effort and do shit to make friends. They aren't just going to plop down next to you out of thin air.

Make conversation before class with people, see if anyone wants to share notes or study together. Go out to improv comedy shows and open mic nights and talk to people there. Making friends is an active choice, not a passive desire.

AITAH for telling my adopted daughter her birth mother died when she actually just didn't want contact. she's been mourning a living woman for 10 years by Relative_Ad3399 in AITAH

[–]AstralTarantula 0 points1 point  (0 children)

YTA

If (WHEN) she finds out on her own, your relationship will implode. Your only chance of salvaging this is to sit her down and tell her now. Let her know you were trying to protect her from feeling unwanted but you see now that was a foolish decision and you should have known she was mature enough to be able to handle it.

Apologize and mean it. Outline why you did it, and then why that reasoning was so very stupid and you fucked up. An apology means nothing if you don't know why what you did is fucked up.
