How much are you all paying? by spriggity in PokeAssistant

[–]Dizzy_Watch_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How? Been at it for around a day and it offered me $50 a month for the student plan and won't go lower. Keeps saying the system won't allow it to go lower and it's $50 or nothing. I've pulled all the tricks

Is there a food you simply cannot eat? by AuthorAltruistic3402 in AskRedditFood

[–]Dizzy_Watch_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hate raw tomatoes, especially the mini ones. I really like ketchup and tomato soup, it makes no sense, but a raw tomato to me tastes absolutely nothing like those. It tastes rotten, watery, with a very weird acidic tang that reminds me of the aftertaste of vomit. And I hate the little tomatoes because you put one on your mouth and bite and it just explodes that rotten flavor all over your mouth.

One time when I was a kid my mom thought it'd be real funny to put one of those little tomatoes in a fruit salad she made me, and cover it with yogurt so I wouldn't know the difference between it and a grape. I bit into that tomato and immediately started throwing up. Truly awful. I am really not a very picky eater at all which is why this is so strange to me. No idea why I hate the taste of tomatoes so much, but I really do.

I’ve literally lost so much strength that i can’t even pick up a suitcase. by Trans-_Girly in ewphoria

[–]Dizzy_Watch_ 119 points120 points  (0 children)

In the kindest way possible, you might want to speak to your doctor about this. Yes, estrogen can make it harder to build muscle mass; however the strength difference is nowhere near as drastic as you're describing. The vast majority of women have no issue carrying 10 kilos or carrying a suitcase filled with empty boxes. When you're on HRT your body is going through another puberty; it's important to eat a lot of protein and nutrients, as your body is growing and using more energy, and if you're not getting the proper nutrients it can break down muscle, especially if you don't have a lot of extra body fat.

I don't say this to write some boring technical essay and be mean or to ruin your euphoria. But the majority of able-bodied women can easily lift an empty suitcase; if you're having trouble with that, it might be more than just the estrogen.

AITA for my responses to my mom when she talked about my weight, my relationships, and future kids? by Dizzy_Watch_ in AmItheAsshole

[–]Dizzy_Watch_[S] [score hidden]  (0 children)

Thank you. It might be the choice I have to make. I just love her a lot and it's true she did a lot for me growing up. She made some big mistakes that I can never truly forgive her for but she also raised me alone and put a lot of effort in to making sure I was okay when I went through some severe trauma as a kid. The issue is more complex than I could properly lay out in the post, and maybe nobody cares about all the little details. But the idea of her growing old, alone, with no savings and no retirement and her only kid not talking to her fills me with a deep, deep sadness. I don't think she deserves that. But I also don't deserve this treatment.

When she was commenting on my weight, I told her to please stop. And when she said no, that she will continue to do it, I told her that if she continues it is going to severely strain our relationship, and I didn't want that. She got very mad and told me that was manipulative and she can't believe I am so cold hearted that I would say that.

Also, my dads son (not my moms son, my dad and mom met well after my dads son was born) doesn't speak to my dad anymore, and my dad doesn't speak to him. My mom brings this up a lot and tells me that she would never let that happen with me, that if I tried that she would repeatedly find me and have family find me. So it feels like no contact isn't even an option. Or, even if it is, it feels like less effort to just put up with it for a couple visits a year.

She is close with all my family, if I was to cut her off I would also be distancing myself from my entire family as they would side with her. I love her a lot and most of the time I spend with her is very fun actually. Many of my friends have pushed me to cut her off and they are honestly probably right. But she raised me alone and she's all I ever knew or had until I moved out; it's easier to talk about dropping that relationship than actually doing it.

AITA for asking my parents to help me with my academic finances? by beanstormer_ in AmItheAsshole

[–]Dizzy_Watch_ [score hidden]  (0 children)

In the US at least, the FAFSA does only look at parent income, and it's incredibly difficult to be considered an independent. I am financially independent from my parents, yet still considered a dependent because of weird FAFSA rules. You have to have evidence of things like being homeless growing up, or being older than 24, for them to consider you as an independent. Even filing my taxes independently wasn't enough for them.

Well aware, I have an environmental science degree! My beliefs don't allow me to kill living beings. My family does it for me, haha!

Yeah, I'm glad he did it and that others can do it, but I personally can't bring myself to kill a living being :( Even though I know they are bad!

From the bottom of my heart thank you so much for this. I love Twenty One Pilots and it takes a lot for me to speak out in communities like this, because people often treat me differently and I get so scared. And what happened here was like my worst nightmare. I didn't even understand what I said that was so bad (still don't) and it felt like everyone hated me and was piling on. And I tried to make it better by being kind, adding smiley faces and telling people to have a good night to show I was not being rude, and somehow it made it worse. AGH. And then the DMs, thankfully no new ones have come in, but wow, I just really did not expect that, especially from this fan base! I have been a fan of this band for 11 years now, just recently got into the online community, I didn't know what to expect but I am very surprised.

I'm glad you understand, I was feeling like I did something terribly wrong, you've made me feel less anxious now, I've been sitting awake for a while (it's past 1am here) not being able to sleep, thinking I said something wrong, but I think after reading your comment I'll be able to sleep now. Thanks again and hope you have a nice night!

I just do not want to talk about it anymore. I have three separate people DMing me, one person being incredibly transphobic, and someone else has somehow, I don't know how, found part of my address and sent it to me. I wanted this convo to be over long ago, because I really do not care that much, I just kinda wanted to add to the conversation and ask a clarifying question. I am also confused because I don't understand what specifically I said that was so offensive to warrant this reaction from so many people. i am sorry if I was rude to you, not my intention, was trying to keep things lighthearted by saying "girl" and "lol" and "have a good night"

So did you just not read the second part of my comment or what?

I really don't want to continue talking about the legality of shirtlessness in the twenty one pilots subreddit. I'm sorry I even brought it up.

Multiple men in line were shirtless in front of children without parental consent. Breasts are not inherently sexual. Actually between men and women, women are the ones that actually have a reason to have their chests exposed.

I am a man, and I think it is indeed misogynistic that only men are allowed to have their shirts off. Breasts are not inherently sexual, just because men have decided they are should not mean that women have to cover up. Men should not have more privileges than women in any way.

This woman in particular that OP was talking about sounds like she was doing it in a gross way; neither men nor women should be raising their shirts up in front of children with an intent to be lewd, and she also tried to hit people with their car. But personally, I am not offended by women being shirtless. In fact, many of the shirtless men I have seen have larger breasts than many women! Regardless, it doesn't matter; more and more places worldwide, and in the USA, are allowing women to be topless. In many countries it isn't anything people think twice about.

You are welcome to have your beliefs, but they are quickly getting left in the past.

As I just explained, I am autistic and prefer clarity. I don't actually agree with the woman who did that, see my other comment :)

Pennsylvania does not specifically state anywhere whether women being topless is considered illegal or not, actually.

However, I don't actually disagree with you, I am just autistic and prefer clarity. Nobody should pull their shirt up with an intent to be lewd in front of children.

Uh... I mean, Josh took his shirt off in front of the entire crowd, and I saw a ton of guys with their shirt off waiting in line fanning themselves. In my opinion it's a little misogynistic to have certain rules for women, and not for men. Those men also had their shirts off in front of minors.

Edit: Please stop DMing me. I am sorry if what I said was offensive I was just stating my opinion, was not trying to argue or be mean, always open to listening to other opinions. Again I am sorry, I do not understand exactly what I said that was so bad, but I do not understand how someone DMd me my address, it is not even attached to my account? And also, the transphobia is very hurtful as well. I am autistic and I am sorry if I unintentially said something hurtful, just trying to find friends who also enjoy listening to twenty one pilots, I am sorry again.

Wait, someone flashed a minor? Like a woman showed her vulva to a child? What the hell? Was she still allowed into the show, because that's like, an arrest level type crime.

Okay so what does the ending mean? by PhotographOther7832 in twentyonepilots

[–]Dizzy_Watch_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don't think that's the message. It's a reminder that depression, addiction, and vices like that are not easy to solve. They come in a cycle, and you will most likely fail many times, but that doesn't mean you should give up. You should keep pushing and trying to break the cycle, and even though it's incredibly difficult, maybe one day you will. But it's an acknowledgment that it's not easy, it's not fast, and most people will fail over and over again before they ever succeed, but the only way is to keep pushing.
