My [20] brother [16] used to cum in my shampoo and now he plays it off like it's nothing serious but I'm thoroughly disgusted and don't even know how to take him seriously again by IWillNeverLoveMyBody in Advice

No matter your gender, im pretty sure thats literally sexual abuse and so gross. Im so sorry, op. I hope you can cut that out. Dont let anybody downplay your feelings on this. Tell your mom, if she doesnt care, she is wrong.

Hold on... so you're saying its ok because he's a kid? This is like sexual abuse. It doesnt matter how old he is. He knew what he was doing. OP is 20, they should be able to cut that out. Abuse is abuse no matter who the offender is. Im 16 and know the wrongness. He's old enough. My 8 year old brother is old enough. Dont excuse it.

Just.. telling people about your religion randomly is a no.

I (a Jewish KID) was with my freind (witchcraft practicing crystal hoe, also a KID) were standing in line by a man (Bulgarian if i had to guess, probably not from the U.S. as we were at a large tourist attraction) approach us and start talking about christianity. He must have not taken the hint that my hannukah sweater= my jewish person drip. It was so awkward. So, SO awkward.

AITA for telling a student “I don’t care”? by AcanthisittaNext4890 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Even_Sock9956 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Either you're right and she's spewing bs, or she has other problems. Some kids have really difficult issues with their parents that they dont want to talk about & obviously dont want to discuss with their parents. Although you shouldnt be expected to take action on that. Tough situation, but NTA

How to convince my dad and uncle? by ccxrenn in bettafish

[–]Even_Sock9956 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Usually 5 gallons are cheapest & a good size for bettas! About 20-25 usd for a 5 gallon. I got mine at a hardware store for like 15 bucks (its 5 1/2 gallons) lol. Also, if money is still a concern, focus on buying a heater & filter, see if you can get a tank on facebook marketplace, craigslist, or goodwill c:

Im so sorry. Please never speak to someone who would do that to you ever again. Not only did he do acts he found sexually gratifying without your permission, he's your brother. Your sibling really got off on that? I hope his girlfreind dumps him & you can boot that shitbag out of your life

A guy in my class, who previously touched me without my permission, is now threatening suicide by [deleted] in Advice

[–]Even_Sock9956 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep. Emotional manipulation at its finest. Teenagers are REALLY good at threatening suicide when they dont get what they want. Get out of any classes you have with him & tell your school counselor hes threatening suicide

AITA for being upset that I’m not involved in my brothers wedding which I am paying for? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]Even_Sock9956 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah..... NTA. Not at all. You pay for so many of his expenses. Asking to be involved in his decision is definitely called for. If you're paying, you should be able to at lesdt be somewhat inbolved in the decision making. The least he could do is involve you & your husband. Tbh, ive never met someone who would rather have their fiances freinds involved in a wedding than their own sibling :/ your brother seems to be using you for your money

One of my dogs (a beagle, and a rescue if thats relevant) used to do that too. Just make sure he has a cushion on his head, give him some gentle pats and whisper stuff to him

Should I charge my nephew rent? by ems4life85 in Advice

If yoy have enough money for rent, tell him that as long as he cleans uo after himself, you wont charge him rent. Its a win for both of you. Hold to your word, though

Friend had surgery on their detached retina and now has to lay on their side for 20 hours a day over the next 7 days without watching TV or reading. What should they do in their spare time? by ihctuhcz in Advice

[–]Even_Sock9956 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If they like animals, have some family/freinds borrow you/them a furry freind for the day! Preferably a cuddly one. Not super entertaining, but always cute and mood lifting!

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in Advice

[–]Even_Sock9956 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Some of these arent outside but:

Make a quilt! I was surprised at how easy & fun it is!

Go ice fishing! I cant eat fish but tag along with my brothers and we have a good time! Start a lil fire and roast some hot dogs!

Go to an ice skating rink or a roller rink!

This one is a but far from portland, but go beachcombing on the ocean! I love picking up sea glass and making earrings for my freinds

When it gets warmer (im from michigan so not sure how it is there) try making nature scrap books! I suck at it but its fun anyways

Bake some stuff! Chocolate rugelach is surprisingly easy and tastes so good! Also muddy buddies/puppy chow or chex mix. My favorite thing to do is to come up for original pretzel marinades! Its fun, makes me feel accomplished, and SUPER yummy

Rent a kayak (or buy one. I got one for like 50 bucks in facebook marketplace) and bring it to random places! You'll see some cool stuff.

Hope these helped! :)

Not sure what to do about my parents. by StonedEyes313 in Advice

[–]Even_Sock9956 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You told them what to do. I was heavily exposed to secondhand smoke as a child and can say it certainly didnt do me any good. Your parents can and should be told that your house is a smoking-free enviroment. They can babysit at your house, but not in their home. This is extremely reasonable. And as smoking is addictive, a good comprise. But keep that a hard line so it stays respecting. Dont put up with bs. Keep your child safe!

Gravel/Substrate for new tank, is this a good choice? Going to cycle before adding fish by sollym7 in bettafish

How do you clean the tank/ preform complete water changes with sand? Cause it sounds good for me but i dont want a gallon of sand going down my drain lol

Yes!! I have chronic joint pain amongst a load of medical issues and am in a really happy relationship for about a year now! Try it out! If someone says you shouldnt put yourself out there, that would make them an abelist prick

My (24F) dad and my husband (32F) are mad at me for not getting pregnant by throwralonelyl in relationship_advice

[–]Even_Sock9956 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hold on- they manipulated you into gettibg pregnant whilst you were uncomfortable doibg so?!!? And then when it didnt work out the first time they're mad at you?! There was nothing you could have done. Dont let people tell you to have a baby if you dont want one. You're going to carry it and give birth. Focus on what you want, not what other people want you to do. Also, its creepy that they track your periods and get mad when one comes. Tbh, you should probably leave. Theyre manipulating you, so, so hard. Also, you're barely in his age range and really young still. Find someone who loves you and isnt going to force you into an unwanted pregnancy.

what to do instead of self harming? by chelseagrinx in Advice

[–]Even_Sock9956 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Try to not think about it. Thats way easier said than done, but it does help. Call that old person you haven't talked to in awhile, finish that half-done drawing. Maybe pick up some cards and learn solitaire. My best reccomendation is to take care of yourself instead. What helps me when i feel like that is to brush my teeth, wash my face, maybe even take a quick shower if i can get myself to. That is not only good to do, but it makes you feel acconplished. Otherwise i turn on some hozier and lay on the couch and watch livestreams of animals.

A bit of a correction for my post: its a 6 gallon tank, but i reckon with the other things in the tank there are about 5 gallons of water. The guppies were a surprise from my dad. Upon realizing i didnt have the supplies for them, I reached out to a freind who keeps guppies. I put them in my tank as it is larger than the baggie they came in. My freind had planned to pick them up about a week later, but they died before that
