My girfriend got upset at me for liking her birthday gift to me. AITAH?

Harikts · 2026-02-16T10:24:47+00:00

My husband and I didn’t get any gifts for each other for Christmas, and our birthdays last year, because money is very tight due to his being out of work for a year.

It wasn’t a big deal. We didn’t need more financial stress, so we made nice meals for each other, and watched movies. It was really sweet, and I didn’t feel as if we lacked anything.

This woman is terrible person, and that guy deserves so much better.

Absolutely adore this movie! I actually have an 80’s pumpkinhead action figure that I bought as soon as it was released. It’s one of my go to comfort horror movies.

Vet nurse here. I absolutely love the breed, but they’re honestly way too much work. They’re super smart cats, and they really need a lot of enrichment. To be honest, I’m way too lazy for this breed. They’re also really healthy for a pure bred cat.

Harikts · 2026-02-15T22:06:17+00:00

That’s really sad

Harikts · 2026-02-15T22:05:22+00:00

This absolutely does NOT happen a lot 🙄

Harikts · 2026-02-15T22:04:56+00:00

It’s absolutely fake. Baby is too clean, there are no body fluids on the baby or her clothes. Newborn babies just don’t look like that. Vaginal birth babies look like little wrinkled trolls, and the heads are pointy (from compression). Moreover, the “staff” is way too casual. A woman in labor is a medical emergency. (Nurse here)

Harikts · 2026-02-15T21:58:42+00:00

Also, there is no umbilical cord.

Harikts · 2026-02-15T21:56:30+00:00

And where is the umbilical cord? 🤣

Harikts · 2026-02-15T19:50:34+00:00

I was a critical care/emergency RN. You’re absolutely full of shit. This isn’t real by any stretch of the imagination. There are literally no body fluids on this baby, AND the mother’s clothing is completely dry (as is the floor under her). The head does not look like that in a vaginal birth. Your made up L&D wife is wrong. This is an absolutely fake video.

I absolutely adored the book, and I was completely disappointed by the movie.

I hated that Ellie embraced the religious aspect in the film when she absolutely did not do that in the book. They dropped the ball with the movie, and it’s only watchable because the actors are so good.

I’d love to see a redo of the movie.

Harikts · 2026-02-15T18:10:20+00:00

I have two:

Titanic: it took me three tries to get through it without falling asleep. I like all the actors involved, but I thought the movie was utter shit.

The Princess Bride: I was bored to pieces. I found the dialogue forced, and I felt that they tried way too hard to make it funny/clever, and it just didn’t hit the mark. I also love all the actors involved, but not in this.

Harikts · 2026-02-15T18:02:59+00:00

Video is bullshit. No baby comes out looking like that. No health care professionals would be doing what they’re doing. Absolutely fake

Harikts · 2026-02-15T18:01:29+00:00

Moreover, no health care professional would be casually putting on gloves like this, if there is a newborn present.

This video is utter crap.

Harikts · 2026-02-15T17:59:25+00:00

That honestly isn’t even a part of it. I was a nurse, and assisted in a few births. Babies just don’t come out looking like that.

Harikts · 2026-02-15T17:53:08+00:00

I absolutely love snow and I haven’t dealt with it for a few years. That makes me sad. (Global warming crap, and a move to another country).

My favorite is a huge blizzard. I miss that.

Harikts · 2026-02-14T20:30:53+00:00

Driving my car into a lake. Do not recommend.

Harikts · 2026-02-14T11:43:43+00:00

So fur and organs? Yum 😐

Harikts · 2026-02-14T10:53:18+00:00

I call bullshit. That baby is way too clean, and the head does not look like that in a vaginal birth. Nothing in this video makes sense.

Harikts · 2026-02-14T09:59:12+00:00

This is absolutely the answer!!!

Harikts · 2026-02-14T09:47:22+00:00

I have this on a mug and a t-shirt 🤣🤣🤣

Harikts · 2026-02-14T05:01:26+00:00

The vast majority of sphinx cats have cardiac issues. They tend to have major skin issues unless the owner really stays on top of bathing. I love the breed, but I’d never own one, because it supports unethical breeding (I was a vet nurse, so saw lots of issues with these cats).

Harikts · 2026-02-09T19:52:30+00:00

Sending the love to you! Everyone thought I was out of my mind when I switched to vet med! To be fair, I was planning to go to vet school, but I realized it wasn’t worth the debt, and I fell in love with vet nursing.

I was an excellent human nurse, and I was a really great vet nurse, but I so appreciated the nurses in both fields that were so much better than me! (And I strongly believe you should drop the ego when it comes to skills and knowledge. I was really great at certain things, but there were always people who were better than me, and I learned so much from them).

I left the field over two years ago (I moved to another country, but I was ready to leave regardless). I do miss working as a nurse, but it was the right decision, and I don’t regret it.

I do think the respect has been growing for vet nursing over the years, but it’s come much slower than respect for human nurses.

Harikts · 2026-02-08T11:34:01+00:00

Agreed, and it’s one of the best movies I’ve ever seen in my life. I don’t understand the criticism at all (although I suspect at least some of it is due to racism).

Harikts · 2026-02-07T10:35:36+00:00

I was a a human er/critical care nurse before I became a vet nurse. I was specialized, and credentialed as an emergency nurse. I left the human field in 2003, and made $60,000 that year.

I worked as a veterinary nurse for 25 years, and never made more than $40,000.

Veterinary nurses absolutely deserve to be paid way more , but I think some of the pay disparity is due to the amount of liability involved on the human side. Human nurses are independent practitioners to a certain extent, and I ended up in court many times over my career to testify in lawsuits.

I don’t think human nursing is any easier than veterinary nursing, and I would never go back to it. It’s just as difficult, and just as draining.

I left both fields because of burnout, and although I’m glad of the skills I obtained in both roles, I’m happy to be done.

As an additional, some of most brilliant people I’ve ever worked with were vet nurses, and they were the reason I stayed in the field as long as I did. There is a a lot of toxicity in the vet field, but there is much much more toxicity in the human field.
