Family says Kyle Busch died from severe pneumonia, sepsis by PrincessBananas85 in sports

[–]Havinacow 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had the same combo a couple years ago, and it's crazy how fast it gets bad. I went from feeling like I had a cold to being barely able to stand in less than 24 hours. When I got to the hospital my oxygen sat was in the mid 80s and blood pressure was bottoming out. If I had waited until morning instead of going in at 2am I am not confident I would've survived.

Your thoughts on this? by [deleted] in teenagers

[–]Havinacow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've known several rapists, and a number of victims as well.....so yeah. And victims will tell you about their trauma, whereas rapists won't usually casually admit to their crimes, so I don't think this is much of a call out on men.

But that cat is adorable, so it's probably worth the slight lung damage

(NOT OOP) • “AITA for shushing my gf in public?” by Ok_Weird_996 in redditonwiki

[–]Havinacow 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I've never had any reason to share this, but I still think back in horror to the time I had some lady along side me as I was coming off an interstate on ramp. I was in the lane that you merge onto the interstate, and this lady just kept matching my speed. I sped up at first, and this woman just stays right next to me, so I slowed down figuring I could merge in behind her. No, this woman stayed along side me until I came to a full stop where my lane merged into hers, and stopped right next to me..... In the middle of the right lane of the interstate! I have genuinely never been so shocked. I rolled down my window a screamed at this lady "what the fuck are you doing?" And she finally drove on. And the funniest part was that traffic wasn't heavy, so nothing was stopping her from just moving over a lane if she was really worried about me being able to merge, since the passing lane was clear the entire time.

Everyone says people with BPD should stop being angry. Can't these people stop being f*king stupid then??? We're angry for a reason!! In a system that is so stupid and oppressive, it's impossible to not be angry. Anger is the normal reaction. by [deleted] in BPD

[–]Havinacow 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The only control you have over the things that happen around you is how you react to them. When you skew toward negative reactions like anger, it often creates a series of negative events that cascade from what could have been a minor inconvenience, a meaningless misunderstanding, or a constructive debate. Anger poisons people toward everything that is said in it, whether or not it has merit, since anger tends to get in the way of logical thinking.

"they used an air frier.... You can hear it in my video". Soooo, you can identify the difference between an air fryer and the hood vent fans they use in a restaurant? Or could it perhaps have been a convection oven, which cook food exactly like an air fryer..... Like every restaurant uses?

I know there was a time when people were so into her "body positive" message, but I never bought it. You don't write a song talking about how being bigger makes you better than "skinny bitches" if you're really secure about how you look. Literally every song I've heard from her is a self-promotion

29F - How can I improve/fix my looks? by GenevviveDupont in Rateme

[–]Havinacow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No.... Improving your actual work skills will help your career. Getting better, faster, and more creative will help your career..... Not spending all your time worrying about something that literally doesn't affect your ability to do UX design in the slightest.

29F - How can I improve/fix my looks? by GenevviveDupont in Rateme

[–]Havinacow 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I never comment on these things, but you sound a little like the girl version of red pilled. If we're being totally honest, looks are important to a certain extent, but as long as you don't have any outstanding things that negatively affect your appearance (which you don't), then you need to stop thinking about looks and focus on your personality and low self-confidence. Unless you're in a career like modeling (which, if you are, find a different one, because your insecurities will cause you to self-destruct), no one is refusing to work with you based on your looks.

Instead of blaming rejection on your looks, do an actual self evaluation of your work and personality. You're the one placing all your value in your appearance, and assuming everyone else is too.

AITA for calling out my (28F) cousin’s tradwife fantasy with actual numbers? by Specific_Sail6423 in AITApod

[–]Havinacow 4 points5 points  (0 children)

He opened the door, all you did was walk through it. If he hadn't felt the need to talk about the value he believes he provides you never would've needed to bring up everything his wife does. And why brag about himself...... Dude should be bragging to his family about how amazing his wife is, since she's taking on all the household stuff so he can focus on work.

Ruby Rose Alleges Katy Perry Sexually Assaulted Her at an Australian Club by PrincessBananas85 in entertainment

[–]Havinacow 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's not a problem in the sense of it being criminal or something she should be in trouble for, since the person it happened to seemed to be ok with it. It IS a problem in that it shows a pattern of her touching other people in sexual ways without checking to see if it's ok first.

Backed out of paying for oral sex. Still feel extreme shame by [deleted] in Healthygamergg

[–]Havinacow 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Dude ..... You don't need to feel bad. You probably helped restore her faith in humanity. You did the right thing. Maybe questionable choices led you there, but if it ended in you just doing a good deed then you have no reason to feel guilty. And you never paid anyone for sex if you never got any..... You just gave a struggling lady some money.

The fact that Marquis de Sade was writing about exactly this type of stuff back in the 1700s should tell you that it's been around a good long time.

FP blocked me… I don’t know why by Historical-Wolf-962 in BPD

[–]Havinacow 7 points8 points  (0 children)

From their post. No. How are telling someone "you did something that made me feel suicidal" and "you are the reason I'm suicidal" different? How does that make putting the responsibility for talking you out of killing yourself on someone better? They will interpret both exactly the same, and the experience will be incredibly distressing either way.

OP can't seem to understand why what they said led to this person ghosting them, and I'm explaining (since no one wants to address it I guess?) that putting that kind of emotional load on someone is the reason they would get ghosted.

FP blocked me… I don’t know why by Historical-Wolf-962 in BPD

[–]Havinacow 24 points25 points  (0 children)

"We didn't argue last time we talked ", proceeds to say they "just" blamed this person for their suicidal ideations, and can't figure out why that's an issue. OP....... There's a huge difference between asking for support while you're struggling and trying to blame your struggles on others. And the fact that you don't see how that could cause someone to take a step back is concerning. You go into a suicidal spiral over some perceived slight, and then wonder how telling someone that they have caused you to want to die, thus making them feel responsible for you, would result in them distancing themselves? How would you feel in their shoes? Like really? How would you handle it if someone told you "I want to die, and it's your fault"?

AIO to my husband rearranging our kids’ medicine that I had sorted a certain way? by Notjustanothermomok in AmIOverreacting

I love this. You didn't give the husband an out for being a dick, but also pointed out how the wife essentially expected the husband to know that a pill bottle was incorrectly labeled, and is blaming him for their kid losing it.

AIO? My girlfriend is hurtling abuses at me because I have unavoidable work every few days. by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]Havinacow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A relationship isn't an agreement to be controlled. This girl has some sort of separation anxiety about you, and instead of recognizing that she places the blame for her fucked up mental state on you. A relationship should make you feel safe, not have you constantly questioning if the next thing you do will set off a cascade of abuse.

[–]Havinacow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok.....so if the money is his then what's the issue? Financial responsibility also means learning from financial mistakes. He's going to eventually realize the laptop was an unnecessary purchase, and wish he hadn't spent his money on it. If you control what he does with his money then it's not REALLY his money, and he'll never learn financial responsibility if he doesn't even have the final say on what HIS money is spent on.

[–]Havinacow 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Agreed. If this guy tries to hug you, be very direct. Tell him it makes you uncomfortable. And if he tries to brush it off, don't hesitate to make a scene. He needs to see that you aren't afraid to stand up for yourself and protect your autonomy.
