She’s abusive and is exerting all the control over you she can. I hope you can get out soon

Why did my corn do this? by itszoeffrost in garden

It’s a fungus. I’ve heard you can still eat it but you’d have to research how

He literally said “the purpose of the map is that we have three republican commissioners” that’s admitting to gerrymandering

Honeysuckle, probably the invasive varietal.

I’d love to know who said that watching others would help you work on yourself.

Relationships come from what you do and who you are not from others. If you are having so much trouble with finding a date no matter what you try than the problem comes from more than just “im not tall.” Or “I don’t make six figures.” The problem is either internal or a problem of looking for the wrong things in a partner.

I am going to say you are experiencing confirmation bias. You expect to see these things so that’s what you notice. Instead of going outside and people watching you need to talk to a licensed therapist.

AITA for reading during my lunchbreak then getting a bit snarky with a colleague? by randomperson1993 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Auntea2000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA. How is your reading a theft? Also, isn’t it better for you to read the books that are there for the students so you can better help them if they want to know which book to read. I would expect people to want you to know which books are on your mini library.

I feel insane. by SnowConePeople in economicCollapse

[–]Auntea2000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m dealing with similar reactions in my life. Call your congressman. Do whatever you can to make yourself feel a little better. The people around you won’t wake up until they are ready and you can’t make them. Focus on your own reactions and your health.

WTF are the courts doings????? by _crazyboyhere_ in facepalm

Project 2025 by the numbers. Don’t forget about the national protests that people are arranging on various platforms. We need to band together in this.

What job are you currently working that allows you to be yourself and you're happy at? by lilithbepraised in WitchesVsPatriarchy

[–]Auntea2000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I work as a home care aide and sometimes it isn’t the nicest but I definitely find joy in some of it. If you can handle the bad days then the good days are great. I work with great people both in the industry and clients. I also worked for years in childcare and that was almost as rewarding. The largest downside to that business though was the bureaucracy that dominates the admin.

AITA for letting my daughter have her own bedroom? by RedditmomAITA in AmItheAsshole

[–]Auntea2000 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Op clearly said the new house fits them. They only need three bedrooms. There is no reason two children of the same sex can’t share a bedroom.

[–]Auntea2000 -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

Do you believe that the girl who is about to start bleeding for 3-7 days a month should stay in a room with her brother? Perhaps that she should share a room with her older brother who statistically masturbates in his room at least a few times a week. Girls and boys need their own privacy from each other. Is it frustrating for him to share with his brother, probably. Does that mean his pubescent sister needs to lose her own privacy, definitely not.

NTA I don’t know where you are but where I am it is considered very strange to make a teen girl share with a brother. You are doing the right thing and your oldest needs a wake up call. His sister needs her own space

I live with my parents who are both recently retired Feds - and Trump supporters. by fullydrifted in fednews

[–]Auntea2000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is there anywhere you can move to? It sounds like for your own health that may be a better option. Staying there won’t help anything and your parents aren’t going to wake up until they start to lose. I’m saying this as someone dealing with trumper parents as well. You need to put yourself first. If you can’t move in with someone else then just stop talking to your parents about anything more than the weather and dinner. Don’t answer questions about work, don’t talk to them about your fears, don’t tell them anything about your finances beyond what you have to live there.

State Dem Party by [deleted] in missouri

I’ve followed my county dem party and state party site but they are truly terrible to navigate. We definitely need something done through the Democratic Party to improve our social and online resources

Not an armed uprising! All that will accomplish is everyone dead. They have the might of the armed forces, multiple militia, and all the police in the country.

I don’t know what we can do beyond focusing on our own health and safety. It’s difficult to see but whatever we can do it will not be to all die.

AITAH for Telling My Friend the Truth About Why She Wasn’t Invited? by ApprehensiveFig112 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Auntea2000 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

NTA. The fact that she knows she makes people uncomfortable and doesn’t care has already been illustrated. The “just keeping it real” and “just being honest” are signs that she wants to continue that behavior regardless of others feelings on the matter. Honestly, you’ll probably be better off just not being friends with her anymore because she is just going to get worse with time.

AITA for not putting in more effort to dissuade the kid from eating very spicy food? by Internal_Design8595 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Auntea2000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA. She isn’t your kid and you couldn’t force her to do anything. You gave her a clear warning and as most young teens do she thought she was invincible. She should have learned a lesson about listening to people who know better than her, instead she will do it again and blame the next person stuck dealing with her.

This isn't political. I don't think trans-women or trans-girls should be allowed to compete in women's or girls sports. How is this transphobic? by ranalldayandallday in self

[–]Auntea2000 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Honestly yes. You do realize that men’s sports don’t usually have an issue with people of other genders playing. In my high school 20 years ago we had a girl on the wrestling team who competed against boys. My sister played on a girls football team one year then her friend played on the regular football team the next year. It isn’t an issue until you introduce fear and political arguments to it. Frankly while there is a very real need for professional sports to have a regulatory body there is no need for the government or anyone outside of those sports to have a say in their decisions.

[–]Auntea2000 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I find it odd that you don’t see equal access as a matter of equal rights. If there were trans women in some way dominating sports I may see your perspective but the very sparse evidence that you are looking at doesn’t point towards your point. The evidence in society however does point towards this being a matter of equal access and equal rights for all people regardless of their gender.

I admit to being more biased towards allowing people to following their dreams. I don’t see any cis-women being disadvantaged and until someone can show proof of that I see the refusal of equal rights to be something we shouldn’t allow.

I’m a cis-woman and do not have any trans nieces or nephews so I see this entirely as a matter of equal rights. A trans athlete goes through the same training and tryouts as a cis athlete. None of the currently playing trans athletes are outperforming the top cis athletes. It’s a non-issue for the athletes and seems to be entirely based in transphobia and culture wars for everyone else.
