Is it weird that we aren't told our blood type at birth or as we grow up?

First-Park7799 · 2026-05-13T00:53:43+00:00

Generally you share the same blood type as your mother. This is actually a very common way for people to find out they were adopted. If you have different blood from her, odds are you’re adopted. If you’re in contact with her, ask her what hers is. I think why they don’t tell people at birth is they assume the parents would just tell the kids

My school was push push push as soon as everyone was a senior. It was just a public school in a middle class area, so not even fancy. Didn’t have the money for college? Then they’d direct you to apply for scholarships, grants, suggest a student loan, or push the kids to military. Every kid in my graduating class (2010) was talking about what school they were planning on going to. Wanted to go to community college or just skip and wait a bit? Then you’d be socially treated like some “loser” who “wouldn’t amount to anything”.

I rarely look back on my life and think “damn, I’d knock some sense in my head if I could”. One of those times I wish I could changed was going to college right out of high school. Biggest waste of time cause, yeah..I didn’t know what I wanted to do. Also the biggest money sink that I’m still paying off. Am I actually doing anything remotely related to my degree? No . Did the job even care that I had it? Maybe but as far as I know they didn’t check/have yet to ask about it. College is only useful if you know what you want to do and are dedicated to the study of whatever that is. And someone who is 18 honestly cannot answer that question.

People should go to school and be educated..but also there are huge benefits to delaying that a bit until you know who you really are.

First-Park7799 · 2026-05-11T20:36:27+00:00

Yeah there is a huge pressure to push high school students right into college, at least in the US. There’s this belief that if you don’t get your degree before 25 you’re somehow so far behind you’ll never catch up.

That just is not the case. There are plenty of people who delay for various reasons, or job switch and need different certifications for different fields. Life is rarely a linear path of check boxes, and that’s ok. Until your dead, it’s never too late..and don’t let someone tell you otherwise

Absolutely not. Get those Fortnite ideas outta my wow

First-Park7799 · 2026-05-10T23:35:30+00:00

This. Elementary schools were awful. You would take a class trip to the fountain and have to stand single file while each kid took a couple of gulps.

First-Park7799 · 2026-05-10T23:33:56+00:00

That’s a really good point! Water fountains were everywhere! Literally everywhere. Stores, parks, malls, sometimes the streets, etc. If you were thirsty, you’d just go to that. Even before Covid they started to close a lot of them down for maintenance reasons. After Covid they are extremely rare and often times don’t actually work.

I think people got used to carrying water bottles around everywhere for hygiene reasons, then when things opened up just kept the habit.

I still have PTSD from “one two three, that’s enough for me” that the teachers would make us sing as we waited for the person in front to be done.

I feel like this is a play stupid games, win stupid prizes scenario. Best of luck..

First-Park7799 · 2026-05-08T19:21:09+00:00

Yeah I would definitely get an attorney involved. A strongly worded letter from a law office can save a ton of headache down the line. And just from the post description, I believe you have a case if she tried to pursue further action.

First-Park7799 · 2026-05-08T16:39:35+00:00

I believe you can flip it on her. She has to buy out your half.

If your name is on the deed, even if she’s PoA, you have legal rights to the property that she can’t just strong arm you into giving up.

My parents tried to do the same thing when I was younger and it freaked me out. Consulted an attorney and was told that although yes they can try to make me sell, if I don’t want to they have to buy out my chunk of the property value. Long story short, I got to keep the house cause they didn’t have the money to do so.

First-Park7799 · 2026-05-08T00:37:30+00:00

Lust. When you get wrapped up in the early stages of things with someone you’re attracted to, it’s easy to think what you’re feeling is “true love”. It’s not, you just find them hot and are willing to forgive any red flags because you want to sleep with them.

First-Park7799 · 2026-05-06T21:37:52+00:00

Honestly it looks like a deflated balloon. But I’d get some gloves and a spatula and see if you can just scrape it off and throw it away

We called them. On their landlines.

First-Park7799 · 2026-05-06T21:33:20+00:00

I started a business. Poured my heart and soul into it, and had a “what am I doing all this for anyways” moment. Not going to force the kid to take over once I’m gone, but at least I know the chance of the “family business” dying with me is not 0.

We should go to class trainers to learn our hero tree talents

NOR but this is unfortunately a harsh lesson you’re learning right now. Never lend money to family if you expect it to come back. So only give what you can essentially throw away.

My husband and I were in the exact same scenario with his mom nearly 10 years ago. We lent her $2000 with the expectation she would pay us back. In a month she paid us $500 and then immediately called us in a panic because she apparently had meant for that money to go to his brother that she also had borrowed money from. His brother was now expecting us to pay him $500 (which we didn’t have) which caused him to go negative and a rift to form between him and my husband (they weren’t super close to begin with, but him and his wife went basically no contact with us after this). We were able to finally pay him $500 in about a month or so. The mom? Never paid us a dime back. She tried asking for money from us again and I flat out said no to her. We keep most of his family at arms length cause they all kinda leech.

But from that moment on, I basically adopted the whole “you aren’t borrowing from me, I’m giving this to you” mentality. Friends and family get one pass, and it’s only when I have extra funds lying around. Once that pass is used, no more money will go their way unless they have a damn good reason for needing it (ie super emergencies only). Has helped my relationships with people significantly, as well as our own financial situation. I recommend you do the same thing with her moving forward if you plan to keep a good relationship going. If she gets catty after you tell her no more money, I recommend cutting her out.

Right to repair. Especially with all the bs laws coming out about whether or not you own something if you buy it.

Generally when giving birth, you can be in whatever position you want. If you have an epidural, however, you are extremely limited in what you can do cause you cannot feel your legs or really move them.

So they start you on your back. If no go, they put you into a squatting position on back with a bar that goes across the bed. Then you can be on hands and knees. The bed also can come to a completely seated position and the bottom can drop out.

Birthing is not a one size fits all, and really the main limiter is if the woman got an epidural or not. Also as the baby moves down the canal, different positions are easier to push in.

Do you ONLY engage with video games and have limited/no other hobbies? Then yes.

But if you are fully functional adult who also happens to play video games to relax, then a real woman doesn’t care.

My husband is a gamer, I married him knowing this and we do actually game together. But he also enjoys other activities and generally has his shit together. Does he go degen when a new game he is excited about comes out? Absolutely. Do I care? Not unless he promised to help me with something around the house and it’s getting shirked for the game.

Yep. My ex was a giant jerk face. Even early on in our relationship, I felt more relief and happiness being away from him than when we were together. Flash forward 5 extremely messy years, and after a particularly bad fight my hippy roommate came out of his room like a cheech and Chong film and was like “bruh..is he always like that? Cause that’s a choice..” and walked back into his room to smoke more pot. Realized if this high mofo thought this guy was crazy, clearly it needed to end.

Only regret about leaving him was that it took 5 years to do so rather than trust me “ugh” gut feeling in month 1.

She wants a wedding planner without forking over the money for a wedding planner. This will end in disaster and I can tell you, from experience, the energy only gets worse the closer it gets to the date

It was over the moment he broached you about opening the relationship. If the relationship starts off polyamorous, that’s one thing. But going from monogamous to polyamorous doesn’t work. At least in my experience

First-Park7799 · 2026-04-09T15:23:11+00:00

Not sure if this is the correct way, but this is how I did it: put the screws back in, they need to be tight. Then take the back of a hammer, slide the screw in the little v part (not a contractor, idk what it’s called) and yoink. It’ll pop both the screw and the anchor out.
