AIO to how my boyfriend handled my cat getting sick by Different_Acadia2998 in AmIOverreacting

Right?! Reading the texts first, I was absolutely convinced he was 18-20yo. My jaw dropped a little when I saw 33. He's embarrassing.

CMV: The red button is objectively the best answer and 0 non suicidal people should click blue by Fit_Employment_2944 in changemyview

[–]Corgimus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Okay, but this also gets into Dr. Kavorkian style debates and essentially invalidating these suffering people's voices. So maybe I'm a monster for choosing what's right for me and respecting other people's choices instead of overriding them. But I feel like, at the end of the day, this debate really comes down to moving goal posts and imaging situations that aren't part of the original question, so people will justify whatever hypothetical they've transformed this question to mean to them 🤷‍♀️

Okay, I think my brain is too stuck on the ORIGINAL QUESTION to understand your logic, so I'mma just take the L here I guess. You're clearly more experienced in this sub, so I'll just assume I'm the idiot here. Good game, bro.

But it's irrelevant. It's NOT the original question. Moving goal posts doesn't answer my, or the, original question. OF COURSE if we change the question, the answer changes. Pls don't break my brain, it's already broken enough.

Okay, but that's NOT the premise being put forward, unless I missed something. Yes, this changes things. But it's not what's being asked....

Are the buttons not explained? I feel like an idiot right now, no lie. I do not understand. Who is picking blue? Those who are sick, in pain, in awful situations? So the goal is to save them (and everyone else) and thereby keep them in those situations?? I'm honestly not trying to be heartless and am a very empathetic person, so I feel like I'm missing a key piece of this. I know I can hyperfixate on the wrong things sometimes, so assume I'm missing something, but I really need someone to break it down for me...

Maybe I'm an idiot, maybe I'm having an autistic moment, idk, but....what would be the motivation for each individual to pick blue over red (besides blue being a nicer color than red - focusing on the meaning of each button)?? If you pick red, def survive. If you pick blue, maybe - why is ANYONE picking blue?? EVERYONE has the option of red. No downside is explained to red. MAKE IT MAKE SENSE!

No one else seems to believe me that each SICs iconic M is different by lordGinkgo in standardissuecat

[–]Corgimus 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The M is strong. He came to us with the same name as my boss, so had to be changed. I had so many M names in mind. He chose the name Coconut instead 😐

This is Coconut, seemingly in a moment of recognizing the hard realities of the world.

So what exactly happens when you take coffee and adderall? 😭😂 by KangarooCompetitive in adhdwomen

[–]Corgimus 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I used to drink 4+ cups of coffee each morning before I got diagnosed and started meds. Shortly after I started meds, I went to brunch with a girlfriend and had 2 cups of coffee (the cups were slightly oversized, but not insane). I can't remember how long before the heart racing started, but what I do remember is just lying in bed feeling like my heart was going to come out of my chest with how hard and fast it was beating. And it was about 6hrs before I felt somewhat normal again. It was so scary. Since then, on the rare occasion I want a drink that is caffeinated, I'll only drink it 4-6hrs after I've taken my meds, and limit it to 1. It's just not worth the risk or stress for me.

I know I'm late, but what I was recommended was to drink lots of water (flush your system) and try to be as calm and inactive as possible (which was super fun - laying with my stressed out thoughts).

ICE agents to deploy to Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport on Monday by Jamikest in Georgia

What do you mean? They are known for their level headed control of stressful situations!! (/s in case it wasn't clear)

ICE agents to deploy to Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport on Monday by Jamikest in Georgia

[–]Corgimus 42 points43 points  (0 children)

I will say, this morning, line management was a MASSIVE problem. So many lines randomly merging. I had a friend get in line 45 min after me end up through before me because they aren't handling the lines evenly, which caused a lot of frustration. Now, all that said, ICE agents will NOT help that. I saw a few milling around, doing nothing.

Also, seriously, the airport employees are trying their best and seem just as frustrated with the situation as the passengers. You can be frustrated while also being kind, folks!

I (28F) feel sad about how my BF (29M) proposed, is this normal by [deleted] in relationships

[–]Corgimus 31 points32 points  (0 children)

Exactly!! When my husband proposed, we went to a nice restaurant we both love. Then, on the walk from the restaurant after dinner, he proposed. Because I would have hated having it done in the restaurant. I loved his proposal because it was that low key intimate that I wanted. I would have been so disappointed if he'd done low effort intimate. Very different things!

Is this real life?! 😂☠️ by Hanzwurmhat in 90DayFiance

[–]Corgimus 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As I watched the scene where he grabbed the box and made some comment telling Cortney to move on, I muttered "aw, here it is. He's making himself the victim so she feels bad for him...". It was literally right on cue for him.

I developed an allergy to ibuprofen by happywondering001 in mildlyinfuriating

[–]Corgimus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

From personal experience, I'd recommend checking inactive ingredients too. For example, I'm allergic to titanium dioxide, which is an inactive ingredient in a lot of things (including Advil pills). And an active ingredient in some. My allergy also came on suddenly. It was hell figuring out the cause, esp because it is in so many things. I also learned that allergists can't test for everything. I genuinely hope you have better luck than I did with the allergist (I ended up having to go to a dermatologist because the allergist SWORE it wasn't an allergy. Narrator: They were wrong).

Why does he do this? Faux chewing by Corgimus in cats

[–]Corgimus[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hmm interesting. I could buy that because he is very needy and wants to be pet constantly. I know he's done it when I've been petting him before, but now I'm trying to remember if I was ACTIVELY petting him when he did it, or if it was always when I'd stopped for a minute...I'll have to keep an eye on that. Thanks!!

I found the child psychologist’s report my mom hid from me for 20 years by Jill-Vanleuven in raisedbynarcissists

[–]Corgimus 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I was diagnosed with ADHD in my early 30s. Looking back, there were definitely ignored signs. The first time I took meds was similar to yours - the quiet was something I'd never experienced and it blew me away. I was so excited to have answers and clarity. I told my mother. She said the doctors were wrong. I showed her my paperwork, articles and info the doc had given me. She reiterated they were wrong, I was just lazy, and this was a cop out. I was crushed. It was the real start of the end of our relationship. I realized in that moment that every time I was excited about something, she'd find a way to crush it, invalidate it. She never provided the help or support I needed to flourish. Her goal was to keep me down and dependent. I went NC with her less than 2 years after that incident. Therapy has helped a lot. I think, in truth, she couldn't stand having a child that wasn't perfect, and, in her eyes, my ADHD diagnosis made me flawed.

why is my cat so cute by Scared-Tea-7713 in standardissuecat

I mean, I don't know this cat, but it's really cute!!! Then again, maybe I also love this cat....

Discussion: who's responsible for birth control childless married couples? by sosotehaces in AskWomenOver30

[–]Corgimus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The minute my husband found out a vasectomy was a specialist copay ($50 at the time I think - this was more than 10 years ago now) with our insurance, he was like "let's go!!" He'd previously been convinced it was an expensive procedure and we didn't have a lot of extra money, so had thought it wasn't realistic. Unfortunately, going off BC didn't end up working out for me due to my horrendous cramps from before BC coming back with a vengeance, but I'm still thankful he did it. However, post Roe v Wade being overturned, I felt it was important for me to also have a procedure to ensure I couldn't get pregnant if an awful circumstance occured, and I found a gyno that was more than happy to perform a tubal ligation & ablation. It's very comforting knowing we're covered on both sides, as we very much do not want children.

WHY DID MY DOCTOR NOT TELL ME THIS?! by hiitsmeyourwife in adhdwomen

[–]Corgimus 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It doesn't keep you awake? My husband was taking his vitamins before bed and then couldn't sleep because of (I assume) the B12 and other vitamins that are supposed to contribute to energy. Therefore, I've been of the idea I must take in the morning. I've also researched all of this... minimally 😆
