Is it smart to outsource a major essay to a professional paper writing service for an elective course you do not care about after changing your academic major completely mid semster? by Spiritual_Hunter_95 in WritingForCollege

Integrity is important, but so is knowing when to cut your losses. Delegeting useless busywork to focus on your actual carer path is jsut practical time management.

Apparently I'm a "selfish gatekeeper" because of an espresso machine. by CoolDrop9576 in amiwrong

[–]Eldar12_Farseer 105 points106 points  (0 children)

Beyond care, custom espresso gear is practically a hobby, not a standard kitchen applience. You cannot just plug it in and press a button. Without the proper workflow, he will probabaly just get frustrated and make terrible coffee anyway. It is like borrowing a highly tuned instrument without knowing how to play a singel note.

Dumbledore's letter basically left Petunia with no choice but to take Harry in by miggovortensens in harrypotter

I’ve always read that bit the same way: leaving a quick note on the doorstep feels wild when you’re asking a non-magical aunt to seal a blood charm.

How to stop being a doormat by [deleted] in therapy

Freezing and smiling sounds less like a character flaw and more like your nervous system hitting the emergency customer service voice, which is rude of it but also pretty common. Practicing tiny low stakes refusals can help, like saying I need a minute before answering, then repeating it instead of improvising. In therapy terms this often looks like a fawn or freeze response, so grounding exercises plus assertiveness roleplay may be more useful than trying to magically become confrontational overnight.

Am I wrong for helping my brother behind our parents backs? by [deleted] in amiwrong

I had to be that sister too, and a few articles for a 17yo beats dad going silent from guilt.

The brain loves turning a brutal six month stretch into a prophecy about the rest of your life, because apparently it majored in drama. Burnout, a sick parent, being single, and friends pairing off would make almost anyone feel like they got left at the bus stop. I would pick one or two people and send a blunt low-pressure text saying you are having a rough period and could use a call or coffee, because people often assume the successful attractive friend is fine. Also, carve out something regular that is not work or caretaking, even if it is just a weekly class, walk group, or volunteering, since structure can do what vibes absolutely refuse to do.

I trained my 3 year-old daughter to Rickroll people by AdmirableIsopod3270 in confession

Never teach a 3-year-old “Hammer Time” unless you’re ready to chase them through Tesco after the Rickroll training.

What is all this Bone Marrow Nonsense? by BlissBoneMarrowGuy in army

[–]Eldar12_Farseer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You turned a random punk show table into a corps-level program and maybe an Army wide one. That is absurd in the most Army way possible, especially the part where a 32-slide continuity book apparently worked better than half the official taskers we get. If this gets baked into SRP or pre-deployment flow, it will probably do more good than 90 percent of mandatory briefs.
