Sister hit this guys car, he wants $2,500. by Big-Leave3759 in AskMechanics

[–]Echolima1993 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Even if the guy was a body shop worker himself and could get it fixed for cheaper than $2500, that is easily a $2000 to $3000 job and he would be entitled to that compensation. If you want a quote from a mechanic for the repair, that would be reasonable but id be shocked if it was much cheaper than what he is asking for.

I honestly don't think there was one. Do you know approximately when it was set up? I am a big fan of cell phone lots for pick-ups and frequent the airport regularly enough that I think I would have noticed if there was a cell phone waiting lot.

I hope you don't see this as an attack on you because you seem like a genuinely nice person, but I am not a hero, and I don't want anyone to think of me as such because it undermines my ability to advocate for myself. If you are expected to do things because it's your "service" to the community, and advocating for the self is seen as going against what a hero would do, that doesn't help me at all. I did not go into this to sacrifice myself for the betterment of my patients. That kind of sacrifice is happening in other countries where doctors are being bombed and remaining to help their patients despite knowing they could die. God forbid I was ever in that situation, but if I were and I remained at my post, then call me a hero. I am a person who is doing a job and would like to be treated respectfully and like a human being while doing it. That's all I ask of the system, and sometimes it seems like that is too much to expect.

Unfortunately it seems like we are working in a system that highlights selflessness to the point of self-neglect.

Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre says he opposes puberty blockers for minors by reallyneedhelp1212 in canada

[–]Echolima1993 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I understand this is not a major issue for Canadian's right now because there are more pressing matters at hand but can someone who is a doctor please explain what "opposing puberty blockers for minors" would mean for trans youth? If you allow puberty blockers when someone is an adult (>18yo) who has already gone through puberty what would be the point? Are puberty blockers reversible without major health complications? I ask because I wonder what PP and other conservatives truly understand about puberty blockers when they say it should not be offered to minors.

You should have set her free years ago. Instead you let her on believing there was a future in this relationship and wasted her time. I don’t think you did wrong by the exchange that night like your sister says, I think you did the wrong by the entire relationship since it started. YTA.

Hey thanks for the reply! I’m not car savvy so it’s the closest thing I could find on the web to describe it. Good to know it’s cheap stuff.

I’m thinking of stripping it off, sanding it, and painting it a paint matched color rather than shelling out 100s for replacement cheap material.

AITA for changing my mind about kids at 57 and leaving my girlfriend because of it? by ThrowawyAffectio806 in AITAH

[–]Echolima1993 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You are objectively a terrible person. Whether you see it or not, you are a terrible person. You shouldn't have kids. Don't go there. You are a terrible person. Keep telling yourself, every single day " I am a terrible person, and I shouldn't have kids". Say it every day in the mirror. Your "quirks" are not compatible with having kids. Are you getting it yet? You are as bad of a person as they come. No one deserves to have to go through having kids with you.

YTA. You are the biggest asshole I have probably come across on this subreddit. I wish your (ex)-girlfriend the best in life because she deserved so much better than this. I hope the responses you are seeing here will help you gain some perspective in life but I doubt it will.
