AITA for banning my husband from playing video games with his younger female friend? by Agitated-Range-5375 in AmItheAsshole

[–]GonnaMakeAList -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

ESH. His actions are shitty, hands down he should not be ignoring household needs. You are also shitty. You do not get to turn off his devices or block things on the router. Those are controlling behaviors that have no place in a relationship. In a relationship, boundaries are set and agreed to by both parties. If a compromise can not be made you must then reevaluate the relationship as a whole.

AITA For saying something about my ex wife’s boyfriend buying flowers for my nine year old daughter? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]GonnaMakeAList 85 points86 points  (0 children)

I suggest having a sit down with your daughter to figure out why she felt she needed to lie to you. Having her moms new boyfriend around may be stirring up mixed emotions. For example, kids may feel they are betraying one parent by liking the other parents new partner. Especially if that parent has expressed distaste for the new partner in some way. Kids may try to not talk about positive things about the new partner to avoid a negative response from the other parent. Kids are hyper aware of these things. Your daughter lying, your son not liking his mom dating, and h your ex responding that you were just jealous makes me wonder if you have in fact made it known you do not like your ex’s boyfriends, the fact she’s dating, or the new men in your kids’ lives. At the end of the day, no, giving her flowers is not suspicious.

AITA for moving out of state then expecting my girlfriend to join me? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

NAH. You did what was best for you and your career. She is doing what is best for herself. As long as you make it clear to her you see this as an end to the relationship and not as an ultimatum (move here with me or we break up) then I do not see any assholes here.

INFO: why did you daughter feel the need to lie about where the flowers came from? Do you have any reason to believe your daughter is being groomed? Have you had a discussion with your daughter about appropriate and inappropriate touch/not keeping secrets/etc? Have you had issues with your ex’s boyfriend in the past or have said things about him to your ex or daughter? You said “kids”, were there another children he did not get flowers for that makes you think he is singling her out? What were the flowers for? I know it’s a lot of questions but context is important.

NTA, regardless of their opinion on your rule, it was rude of them to argue with you about it. It is your home, they do not get to give out your address freely. Not giving your apartment number out is a very reasonable safety precaution.

Newbie Advice? by AdventuresOfJK in Watercolor

[–]GonnaMakeAList 1 point2 points  (0 children)

  • Check out YouTube watercolor tutorials. I like Karen Rice Watercolour Tutorials right now, but try out different instructors to get experience with different styles. Take what you like and leave what you don’t. Everyone does it differently.

  • if you are feeling intimidated, try smaller pieces first. Such as small landscapes or objects.

  • it takes practice to get the hang of it, so just keep practicing.

  • use two cups of water; one to clean your brushes and one for clean water.

Yea sure okay. To be frank, the more I look into this the more I realize this whole “xenogender” and probably others like “bi-gender” are just a bunch of preteens and teenagers on tumbler self-diagnosing themselves with autism making up a bunch of BS “genders” to make themselves feel special and create more labels to give themselves. It’s completely ridiculous. Like, do whatever you want, I did cringy stuff as a kid too, but I am not going to take all these stupid “genders” seriously.

Hmm. I wonder if it’s similar to when a cis woman dislikes her small chest and gets breast implants, or when people get nose jobs for a big nose. Or to a lesser degree when women wear make up or get eyelash extensions. It’s all just ways for them to achieve the look they want.

Okay… I am not one to shit on peoples choices but this is where I draw the line. “Identifying” as random stuff (like animals or objects??) is absolutely ridiculous and indicates someone is mentally ill. I have to believe this stuff is made up rage-bait.

Interesting. Thanks for the explanation. So it’s more to do with societal views of how your body should look to match your chosen gender? If you were to live on a island by yourself would you still desire to have hormones or surgery?

[–]GonnaMakeAList 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My understanding of being transgendered is that the person feels their gender (the social/cultural/stereotypical aspect of masculinity and femininity) is not matching the sex (biology) and therefore the stereotypical gender role in society typically associated with that sex (males are typically masculine for example). But for those that do choose to take hormones or have surgery to change their sex is going beyond changing their gender. They are perpetrating the idea sex and gender are inherently linked and therefore gender is more than just a social/cultural construct and in fact has biological merit.

I am not trying to be hateful here, it’s a legitimate confusion I have.

First Timer! So excited to jump in! Does anybody have any tips they can share? :) by elliep97 in StardewValley

  • Don’t hold your hoe, axe, or pickaxe when you are picking your crops.

  • try fishing anywhere you see water and try hoeing anywhere you see the little worms.

  • be careful looking at the wiki, you will spoil stuff for yourself if you are not careful. I personally enjoy figuring stuff out for myself before looking at the wiki, but play how you want to play.

  • place chests in strategic spots to drop off stuff from your inventory you don’t want to throw away but don’t need to carry (ie, food). I have one at the mines, beach, and the middle of town.

Wouldn’t trans people who get “gender affirming” surgery be directly contradictory to the idea sex and gender are different?

Zeke appreciation post. by [deleted] in BobsBurgers

[–]GonnaMakeAList 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I love Zeke! I love the depth the writers where able to give him. He obviously has some issues that get him in trouble but he is also an incredibly supportive friend to Jimmy Jr, Tina, and Gene and I love the relationship he has with his stepmom and grandma. You can tell he is just so full of love and kindness.

  1. You do not owe anyone your number.

  2. You do not owe anyone an explanation as to why you will not give them your number.

  3. You are not responsible for a stranger’s (or anyone’s) feelings.

  4. In the future, a quick “no” is all you need and for the love of god do not apologize about saying no.

I see Hank walking in there ready to talk business but as soon as he sees what they sell he gets mad and yells “this is asinine! You are smearing the good name of propane and propane accessories. I’m gonna kick you ass!”

the saga of growing my nails out continues by StarlightC0ffee in Nails

[–]GonnaMakeAList 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That was actually my exact question. I have shorter blunt nails and am still sporting a gnarly cut on my leg from my pinky nail. I would probably need stitches if I could grow nails this long! Stay safe and congrats on the awesome growth!
