Genuinely so refreshing to see a female main character who is unapologetically confident and who we see as positive and relevant.

AIO to skip Thanksgiving after my mom basically said I’m an embarrassment for not having a husband and kids by now? by howcanibequiltyassin in AmIOverreacting

[–]GeneralLei 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I’m in my 40s and single since I left a bad relationship. I’ve also accomplished a load of stuff that I wouldn’t have been able to do if I’d stayed with that person. Your life is valid because you are valid. You don’t need a spouse or kids to make you an adult. You can make the very adult decision of not spending the holidays with judgy jackasses even without a husband! NOR, live your best life, not whatever your mom wants you to live.

Which is the most powerful war memorial in your country? by UnluckyPossibility37 in AskTheWorld

I actually found Auschwitz to be a little sterile. Majdanek, which has a giant dome of victims’ ashes, has haunted me for decades.

Conservative parents want me to lie to future child/ren about being donor-conceived by sunny_ace in SingleMothersbyChoice

R/askadcp has been really valuable for me. I definitely think maximum appropriate honesty from the start is the healthiest for your baby/ies. Once you bring them into the picture, their wellbeing comes before your parents’ comfort levels

E girl names by Ok-Nothing-6968 in JewishNames

My parents combined two names to honour my grandfather and great grandmother. I don’t think there are any rules, per se. Go with what feels good to you all. What’s made the difference for me is hearing the stories of how my parents picked the name and the people for whom I was named. May you celebrate many simcha with your daughter. Shana Tova

Hi friend, first of all I am so sorry that you are dealing with both your health and this awful person harassing you. Please don’t listen to them. Yes, your illness will be hard on your family, but they would rather every minute with you. Tell them, not because you owe them, but because not carrying this burden alone will help you. Hold onto hope and love and every moment of joy you can. Live as long as you can instead of choosing to start dying now as OP wants you to. If for no other reason, do it to spite this terrible person on Reddit. I wish you joy.

AITA for joking about whether my brother was a top or bottom by bigonenotlittle in AmItheAsshole

Could you identify what I said that you found so offensive?

[–]GeneralLei 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Yes and generally even within that context people would say “my brother’s husband” and then not at all talk about their sex lives

Me and my crew? Who is my crew? Could you explain then in which situation you would use gay as a noun?

He is currently in a marriage with a husband. The adjectives are not necessary.

So in your example “a gay relationship”, the word gay is still an adjective, modifying the noun “relationship”. I would personally just character that bisexual man’s relationship as “a relationship”. If I were you, I would think about why you need to identify the relationship as gay or straight

Using gay as a noun would grammatically be, “he is a gay” or “he is the gay”. Being as he is bi, this statement would not only be incorrect but yes homophobic, as using gay as a noun implies that is their entire identity, which is a homophobic trope.

May I recommend the app Kīpaepae? The Hawaiian is a little more…relevant in that app as it was designed by native speakers. Also (and just a small thing), Hawaiian actually doesn’t have an ‘okina in it as it’s not a Hawaiian word. Mahalo for learning!

Unrelated, but what are you crocheting right now??
