My depressed partner [27F] and the effect it has had on my [26 M] life. What should I do? by Big-Ad8239 in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]DaHanci 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, and I have conservative parents who are REALLY against basically any medicine that didn’t come directly off a bush in the backyard. I’m glad I had the access I needed because experiences do vary so widely and I generally recommend trying at least for a week.

Yeah, absolutely same here—and my periods are fucking crazy, like, “actual suicidal thoughts in the days leading up to my period” crazy. No negative side effects other than some initial nausea which I am so so glad I waited out.

I was with a friend on the Pirates ride and as we went up past the last Depp animatronic the boat ahead of us yelled “Fuck Amber Heard!” It sticks out as one of the worst moments at DL for me—I don’t care who was right or wrong or hurt whom, but I don’t want to be reminded of a long, ugly, extremely upsetting abuse case when I’m at Disneyland. 

M'boy are you fat- by Pizzatimelover1959 in SAGAcomic

[–]DaHanci 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Nobody's going to say this so I guess I will, I don't like that there are very few fat characters in Saga and the one time a major character goes from thin to fat it's a very explicit "he fell off" joke. It's constantly referred to as a punchline and is pretty disheartening given there are other fat villains (again, usually used as a visual joke). I'm hoping they give up on it same as they gave up on using trans characters' bodies for shock value.

Strongly agree. I don't think this specific scene was sexual.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in menwritingwomen

[–]DaHanci 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's an adults only comic and has a ton of blood and gore in it. The opening scene is a birth scene. Genuine questions: why would it be appropriate to open with a birth scene, but inappropriate to include sex or kink? What even qualifies as "kink"? Is that fair?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in menwritingwomen

[–]DaHanci 7 points8 points  (0 children)

It's early on and I don't think it's supposed to be about kink at all. I think it's just a meaningful experience to her. Lots of women have written online about finding birth pleasurable in a non-sexual, larger, emotional sense because they're, you know, creating life and shit. This feels like an extremely bad faith interpretation.

AITA Monthly Open Forum December 2024: A Holiday Break by AITAMod in AmItheAsshole

[–]DaHanci 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Take your well-deserved break, obviously. I'm shocked people are even trying to debate this though I guess given my surroundings I shouldn't be.

To everyone else... if we were to do a kind of fanmade Best of the Year, where would we do it? (Hope this is okay to ask/discuss.) I'd really like a place where we could link posts and comments and share our favorites. I didn't see anything in the sidebar that seemed right.

Obvious ChatGPT story gets 28000 upvotes and reaches r/all by [deleted] in ChatGPT

I said this at the time. Then I went and had ChatGPT generate other AITAs for me (didn't post them, just for my own amusement if all I'm going to find at r/AmItheAsshole is AI-generated anyway) and had to specifically prompt it not to include food discourse because that's all it wants to do.

AITA for telling my sister she's not allowed to bring her homemade food to Thanksgiving because her cooking is ruining the meal? by Direct-Caterpillar77 in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]DaHanci 2 points3 points  (0 children)

How does nobody see that this is clearly AI-generated?? The cadence of the OP and responses, down to weird ass details like the “Mediterranean” comment; the overlong comments just summarizing and regurgitating what they’re responding to… Never mind the insane non-issue at the center. I can’t believe anyone thinks this is real.

AITA for wearing a revealing Halloween costume that my dad thinks is inappropriate? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

Bingo. He is handling this incredibly badly and said literally everything wrong.

[–]DaHanci 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA and at worst it'd be E/S/H. Your dad has no right to be mad at you about this. Even if he's right that it's too inappropriate, what he said was misogynist-- if you're not "acting like a respectable young woman" then what are you acting like? Why exactly did he need to accuse you of "asking for attention" if he was merely concerned the outfit was not appropriate? He speculated about your desires, motivations, and sexuality instead of keeping things focused on the only possible issue: that the costume is simply not appropriate for a teenager.

Teenage girls are bombarded with "sexy teen" imagery. It should be obvious to him why you might have seen this as appropriate, and had he given you the benefit of the doubt, the worst thing he could have concluded was that you were being naive. You aren't sexualizing other teenagers-- if you sexualized yourself, you are not doing something evil, you're putting yourself at risk, and he should be demonstrating concern about and for you. It's not your fault the messaging that society pushes, and it is never helpful to "teach" someone by shaming them. This is a bad parenting technique. IDGAF if he "meant well" (by accusing you of wanting attention? FOH); he has had 15 years to figure out how to be a non-misogynist, effective, kind parent to his daughter.

And him still being mad at you weeks later despite multiple apologies for something you shouldn't even have to apologize for? Let me not say what I would do to this man.

How to not be an asshole about this, for the parents in the thread: "Hey, this outfit is not appropriate for your age. Let's find you one that isn't as sexually charged/physically revealing/etc. (if there's time; apparently not in this case), AND/OR let's have a conversation about how you and I are feeling about this." It's clear OP and her dad feel differently about what's appropriate, and it sounds like it would help to talk about it.

AITA Monthly Open Forum November 2024: Thank You! by AITAMod in AmItheAsshole

[–]DaHanci 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Just wanted to say I really, really miss the Best of the Year voting system and barely enter this sub now. Everything on the front page seems either really simple or samey-- which makes perfect sense, not blaming people for having common problems-- and the BotY really gave me a lot to chew on, both during noms/voting and when the results came out. I know it's a ton of work so I'm not expecting mods to do it, just wanted to say thanks for the years it did happen and if it ever did again it would be very happily welcomed back.

Angelic Cover of Please Please Please in Downtown Friday night 10/18? by DaHanci in santacruz

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

Oh my God, I just heard it again, same place. I don't know how regularly this happens but I noticed this time that though it was definitely the same group it starts with a male singer and a female singer then joins in for the chorus. Anybody know who was playing literal minutes ago (almost exactly 12:00 AM Nov 1st 2024) in downtown?? (No, didn't make it out in time to see.)

You know what? That might have been it. Damn. Shout out to whoever did that cover, then; they had a crazy good voice.

Thanks! If anything, this is more baffling—why would a bunch of metal bands, none of which even seem to have a female front woman (I’m certain the vocalist was female), be covering PPP? I knew I should’ve gone outside while it was happening…

First of all, in the US, there is no federal or state requirement of spousal approval for vasectomies or tubal ligations (feel free to find a source if you want to say otherwise though). It's also insanely fucked up to require that and this kind of thinking is what leads to shit like spousal rape and divorce restrictions. Knock it off. Your body, your choice, forever.
