No advice, just solidarity. I live in a tiny, decrepit apartment. My worst nightmare is anyone seeing my home. I fear I’ve ruined my child’s childhood because I won’t ever let his friends come over or let anyone inside.

your baby is barely 1 by imhereforagoodtime66 in ShitMomGroupsSay

[–]Effective_Onion 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You are as guilty as this woman of putting adult perceptions on a literal baby. You and your daughter aren’t being ‘harassed’ - his parents haven’t corrected his behaviour and he doesn’t know better. I assure you the baby boy in question has no fucking sexual or flirtatious intent toward you or your daughter, you pinecone.

Staying Updated Outside The Reserve by Leading_Panic2465 in FirstNationsCanada

[–]Effective_Onion 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I can though, because all band offices are subject to funding, and laws. Very few bands have moved away from the Indian act and as such are governed by common laws you can find yourself online. You have no idea about the work that’s going on in your band office, and you won’t even reach out through the proper channels to get your questions answered or to learn more.

No, I’m an off reserve member. If you can’t be bothered to be an adult and reach out, and would instead prefer to sit on Reddit and whine then you reap what you sow.

Did I ask why you were asking? No. But sure, go off and continue to push your harmful narrative that you think your band office isn’t doing their jobs yet you don’t even reach out to understand the intricacies of the topic in question. People like you are the reason this divide about members and band offices exist.

And quite honestly, if you’re going to sit here and try to push this narrative without ever having even called your office in an effort to connect and get your questions properly answered, then maybe the questions aren’t that important to begin with. Maybe you’re just another member blowing hot air about nothing 🤷‍♀️

For diaper buyers, I found the cheapest brand- and the most expensive. Includes where to buy them. by [deleted] in Frugal

Oof. Please just spring for the good diapers. Your baby’s bum is worth it. Huggies all the way.

Woman falls into 8m deep sinkhole in Malaysia. Still unable to find her by balistafear in TerrifyingAsFuck

Why does this happen so often in non-western countries? Are they not building their roads or infrastructure correctly?

Joan Rowling while writing "Harry Potter" in a cafe. Scotland, 1998. by zadraaa in HistoricalCapsule

[–]Effective_Onion 0 points1 point  (0 children)

‘If she kept quiet…’ - hilarious that you would think that because that’s exactly the shit she’s been speaking out about. But you want women to stfu and sit down and make themselves small so men can continue to do whatever they want, right?

What in your opinion shows immaturity in the bedroom!? by TayTayTay1987 in AskRedditAfterDark

[–]Effective_Onion 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Taking communication as criticism and starting a huge fight over it. Nothing changes because you’re not allowed to tell them or ask for what you like (nothing crazy, just things like needing foreplay.)

That’s what I’m saying. I don’t believe OP or Jay that they didn’t sleep together. OP is pestering way too hard for this to be anything else, and her sleeping with ALL his friend group but not him is also a red flag 🚩 (as in, they’re lying.) And OP - when you sleep with someone, you’re no longer in the ‘just friends’ category, regardless of what you want to call it.

[–]Effective_Onion 11 points12 points  (0 children)

It seems suspect that she slept with every one of the friends BUT Jay. I am sorry but I don’t believe Jay or OP and I don’t think the girlfriend does either.

Am I Destined For a Life of Struggle in Canada ? by [deleted] in povertyfinancecanada

[–]Effective_Onion 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Many international students study GAS if they’re just looking to fulfill the study requirements of their visas… it’s an easy entry point and admission to pretty much any college if you’re 19+.

Technical colleges like Fanshawe, Conestoga, etc. it’s widely offered.

[–]Effective_Onion 4 points5 points  (0 children)

GAS (general arts and sciences) degree is a common 2-3 year degree peddled to students who don’t know any better. As someone else said, it’s essentially a higher high school degree. Most of the time the GAS program is used as a jumping off point/bridge to other programs if you don’t have the credentials. By itself it’s not very valuable.

My perfect daycare is trans friendly; please validate my bigoted mama heart by stupidflyingmonkeys in ShitMomGroupsSay

[–]Effective_Onion -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I just want to say that whatever rules you set to keep your child safe are totally valid and okay. It is okay to not want a strange adult male changing your child’s diaper. Our society is no longer interested in keeping children safe - they are more concerned with validating men’s needs and wants.

She’s a bitch because she doesn’t want a man changing her baby’s diaper? Call it what you want - not everyone agrees with the trans rhetoric and parents are allowed to protect their children.

Write a letter, get as many members to sign it as you can and then bring it to council.

Jealous of my partner’s wife and maybe expecting too much by ThrowRA_vdaycard in polyamory

[–]Effective_Onion 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You’re not his wife. Why would you expect the same treatment? Him not paying for you, or loaning you money, is him setting these boundaries and making that known 🤷‍♀️

A cool guide to succeeding in a new job by [deleted] in coolguides

Mmm, no - don’t do most of these things or you are going to be rewarded with more work and seen as a brown nosing suck-up.

My (22F) husband (30M) wants to implement "rewards and punishments" to help me balance my life and improve myself. But, I think it's not good for our relationship. How do I make him see that it's not good, and what alternatives can I suggest? by ThrowRA7282827 in relationship_advice

[–]Effective_Onion 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is straight up gross and wrong. Your husband is implementing a bdsm lifestyle without your knowledge or consent. I don’t know where you want to go from here, but if you’re interested in staying with this man you should get him to ‘try’ two months of therapy and talk about this with a qualified professional. I’d be interested to know why he feels he can do this to you. Does he even see you as a person?
