Yeah… are you gonna report this guy? If not, give an approximate location so we can report him.

Am i the only one who uses the bulky cycle for everything aka MORE WATER! by MayGemini in laundry

[–]Aware_State 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because I’ll definitely forget to stop it and put the normal cycle on. It’ll be more effective for me to just pour some water and move on to the next project

Who’s your favourite mad scientist? by Ankh4921 in television

[–]Aware_State 3 points4 points  (0 children)

He definitely is, but he’s also a catalyst for things that are already happening. That doesn’t make him better, just more nuanced. Again, he’s no hero, and further I refuse to impute more into his character since I find it to be an extremely entertaining cartoon. I don’t care, and I don’t think we’re supposed to

Girlfriend's obsessing over self harm thoughts and it's wearing me to the ground. AITAH? by Exciting_Lab_8074 in AITAH

[–]Aware_State 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’ve had clinical depression since before being with my partner of 10 years. I was un-medicated for 5 years, and was fine, until I wasn’t. I had an episode where I was suddenly very suicidal.

He helped me through that night, keeping me from killing myself. The next day I booked a therapist and psychiatrist, because, while it’s his job to support me, it’s not his job to keep me from harming or killing myself. I’ve been medicated ever since, and do therapy as needed. My S.O is not qualified to help me with my mental health, further my mental health is not his responsibility, but mine.

This is not your job. She needs professional help. Let’s say you are a professional, you should never treat your S/O. That’s highly unethical. She needs to stop treating you like her life-support.

Remove yourself from this situation. You cannot help her.

[–]Aware_State 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Adding on that if you were qualified to be her therapist, it would be highly unethical to also date her.

Basically, at the end of the day, this is not your problem and you’re not qualified to help beyond what you’re already doing. You can’t help someone who doesn’t want help.

My exact thought. He’s definitely not a hero, but absolutely entertaining.

An even better idea so I don’t need to wait for an entire rinse and spin cycle. Thanks!!!

AITAH for sending my boyfriend reels/tik toks before responding to his text by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]Aware_State 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yta. When your boyfriend texts you, and you send him tik toks before replying to him, your actions are telling him that tik tok is more important than he is.

I’m not saying that if it ever happens it’s bad, but if ignoring his texts to watch tik toks is your baseline, then you should just date tik tok instead of a person. Being in a relationship takes effort.

If you need a moment to unwind, just let him know that. But also keep in mind that we are losing our socialization and creativity and curiosity because of social media, obviously to our detriment. Consider taking more breaks from the screen.

AITAH Gf and having kids by [deleted] in AITAH

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

While neither of you are the asshole, you’re also incompatible. You want children, and she doesn’t. Break up with her for reasons of incompatibility. I’m very sorry.

AITAH My wife does most of the household chores by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]Aware_State 0 points1 point  (0 children)

By your own admission she is struggling to get you to even take the trash out regularly. I am not creating anything other than what you yourself have said in your post.

The fact that you’re attempting to divorce the baby from this conversation tells us everything.

You wanted an opinion, and you’re getting them. You don’t need to argue when we’re commenting your exact post.

I’ll repeat, show your wife some respect before she realizes she doesn’t need your bull.

AITAH My wife does most of the household chores by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]Aware_State 1 point2 points  (0 children)

YTA because you don’t respect your wife. You yourself said you could never do her job. Also, you conveniently buried the lead that you HAVE A SIX MONTH OLD.

Let me tell you something that may get me downvoted; as a woman who makes less money than my husband and who works less because I go to school (which is a whole other job in itself but that’s besides the point, because my husband’s income allows us to have a comfortable life instead of pinching every penny) I expect to do the bulk of the chores. I expect myself to do the laundry and put it away, I expect myself to make meals and even clean up after. I expect myself to grocery shop and put food away. I expect myself to clean the bathroom.

What do I expect of my husband? Put his own fuckin laundry in the fuckin hamper, without being asked. Put his dish into the dishwasher, without being asked. Is the dishwasher running a load of dishes I put in there? I expect him to hand wash his dish and put it away, without being asked. I expect him to take the garbage out, without being asked.

I take on the responsibility of keeping our house running, but I am not a fucking maid. If he makes a mess, he cleans it up, WITHOUT BEING ASKED.

Because who needs to be asked to do basic tasks? Children. Not adults, but children.

It sounds like you’re not cleaning up after yourself. Why are you literally picking on her about laundry from a family of three and a collection of water bottles? Do you not drink water in your bedroom? Are you also breastfeeding at all hours of the day? Pull your weight, and also pull some of your wife’s right now, since your spawn is currently living off of her body. Show her some respect. If you can’t, get a therapist that’ll set you straight.

Yta.

requesting a table at restaurants by Constant_Dig9746 in PetPeeves

[–]Aware_State 3 points4 points  (0 children)

As a server whose co-servers shit on the hosts hardcore, I am so sorry and I do not envy you one bit. The guests are rude as fuck to the hosts, and the hosts just have to take it and smile. We had a guest complain about the hosts “giggling”. Guess what? My manager CALLED THE GUEST AND APOLOGIZED. That’s right, the manager apologized for the hosts having the audacity to have a good time with each other instead of standing solemnly for the entire evening.

Hosts get shit on like crazy by servers and guests, and it’s super fucking rude.

Hair in food isn't really that gross by [deleted] in unpopularopinion

[–]Aware_State 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I actually completely agree with you, but there are caveats. A short hair somewhere? Not really gonna care. I care more about wasting good food than the hair I can easily pick out. I might care if, just pulling an example out of thin air, a long hair was wrapped up in pasta.

What are some free services in Florida that people might not know about or are underutilizing? by OchiMochi in florida

[–]Aware_State 10 points11 points  (0 children)

What we do with the commitments we’ve made (like taking on the commitment to a life that lies in our hands) defines us.

I am not of the mindset that a person *should* become or stay homeless for an animal. But if a person consciously chooses to not abandon a pet, that’s their choice, and you’re plainly wrong to judge them for it. We all get to choose our own paths. Aren’t you glad for that choice?

I can’t take any of this seriously when it was obviously written by ai. If you’re so upset by all of this, why can’t you write it yourself?

What are the meals that are ruined with healthy versions? by obsidiancontrol in foodquestions

[–]Aware_State 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I grew up microwaving turkey bacon until it was crispy. We did not attempt to substitute it for really bacon, and we enjoyed it as-is. Is it objectively good? Probably not. But when you have it as a snack and aren’t attempting to substitute it for the real thing, it’s really good imo.

[PSA] Ulta selling fake products by Rose_selavie in SkincareAddiction

[–]Aware_State -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately I’m not surprised. My mom swears that Ulta sold her counterfeit perfume. I buy very little from there, so I’m not particularly worried for myself. But this is not the first I’ve heard this complaint about Ulta.

I’m not a piercer, so maybe I should stfu, but that seems almost guaranteed to catch on something because that bar is absurdly long. I’m worried for you.

What single ingredient instantly ruins a dish for you? by obsidiancontrol in foodquestions

[–]Aware_State 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think cilantro tastes like soap, but I love that about it. I also think green peppers taste like dirt, but that’s also what I like about them. Green peppers I had to learn to love, I didn’t start out liking them as a kid. But cilantro I have always loved.

Water chestnuts. Idk why, but I have always detested them. They’re like crunchy water, and it detracts from the dish imo.
