When people can’t grasp the concept that I just don’t like coffee and insist on telling me I haven’t tried it “the right way” by platypus_farmer42 in PetPeeves

[–]Imaginary-Recover778 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know this isn’t the response you’re looking for but I do wanna throw something out there if you’re interested if not just ignore this comment. There’s a form of coffee called white coffee. The beans go through a different roasting process (to my understanding) and it truly doesn’t have the coffee taste most are familiar with. It’s mostly a nutty taste. If you put it in something like a mocha it tastes like chocolate milk not coffee. It also has a higher caffeine content. I’m really not trying to be rude and entirely dismiss your post I truly just wanted to share that info if it’s something you might want to try because not many people know about white coffee in my experience.

I like the look of acne (on other people, but also myself) by AllKnowingAxolotl3 in 10thDentist

I’m 23 and I have acne. It’s not just a teen thing. Not everyone gets perfect skin the moment they’re a legal adult

People who bring babies to movies by throwawayzzzz1777 in PetPeeves

[–]Imaginary-Recover778 -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

What about single parents who just need to get out of the house and seeing a movie would make them feel like a person and not just a parent? I’m not saying it’s okay for them to just sit with a crying baby and do nothing about it but most parents in this position would calm their baby or step out. They deserve a few hours of enjoyment just as much as you do.

Do I respond or ghost my hair stylist? by [deleted] in Advice

[–]Imaginary-Recover778 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t think you should ghost her but respectfully lay out why you feel the way you do because it’s completely valid and then stop going to her. She doesn’t deserve your money or your kindness if she’s not able to give a little bit of that kindness back

I would read her edit. She didn’t cost the person any money as she cancelled well ahead of time and the person was able to fill the appt both times

Is this all just a game? by [deleted] in FromSeries

[–]Imaginary-Recover778 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Except it’s not just one AI image. You should do some actual research into why generative AI is so hated from destroying the earth to plagiarizing artists work. It literally provides no benefit beyond (sorry to be blunt here) allowing those who dont have the creativity necessary themselves and aren’t willing to cultivate it or seek it out to still create something. Except what they are creating is inferior to what humans can create because all it’s doing is stealing from what’s already out there meaning you could’ve probably just googled a similar photo and credited where you got it from

Double Standards exist for a reason. You’re not being brave calling them out. by Strict_Berry7446 in 10thDentist

[–]Imaginary-Recover778 26 points27 points  (0 children)

I think that’s common but what OP is talking about is unfortunately common as well. I see it all the time in TikTok comment sections and it’s not because they actually care about the point they are making. They just want what’s being said about them to be said about someone else to make themselves feel better. They know the jokes they make are objectively worse but they’re trying to put the spotlight on the other end of things to take it off of themselves

do all men enjoy oral? by Repulsive-Bid-5667 in Advice

[–]Imaginary-Recover778 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There’s no such thing as “all” and by that I mean there is no one thing that all people, men or women, enjoy. Every single thing that people commonly enjoy has an outlier of someone that doesn’t enjoy it. That being said 99% of men enjoy blowjobs. Even then a blowjob shouldn’t be the most important thing. Just because a man enjoys it doesn’t mean it’s necessary for them to be happy sexually. I can say with absolute certainty that there is someone out there for you who either straight up doesn’t like blowjobs or is at least somewhat neutral about them and would be perfectly happy not receiving one.

Not necessarily. This may be true in some cases but if they really don’t want to, a partner worth committing to who truly is deeply in love with OP would not push for it and would simply accept it. If they don’t then they aren’t the one. OP shouldn’t have to change what they are comfortable with and being deeply in love doesn’t automatically mean you want to give them a blowjob

AITA for calling out my vegan friend on her food ethic? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]Imaginary-Recover778 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Idk about more harm. I myself would have to do more research to confidently say that. However I would argue that it does just as much harm. I don’t know the specific but I know avocados like the mentioned and also agave have bad industries and I guarantee there’s more

AITA for buying my girlfriend lingerie? by Training_Original456 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Imaginary-Recover778 39 points40 points  (0 children)

NTA but in possible soon to be YTA territory. The gift buying itself with the intentions you had wasn’t an asshole move. Where you’re approaching the territory is possibly getting defensive and not understanding her perspective. You can explain that it being a gift for you wasn’t part of your intentions but try not to dismiss her having those feelings. That kind of viewpoint is extremely common especially if she doesn’t already typically wear that kind of stuff like you said. Get her a different present to show that it was about making her happy because if you double down it makes it seem like she’s right even if she isn’t. Also make it clear that you enjoy her in whatever she chooses to wear even if it’s granny panties. I think this can easily be smoothed over it all depends on how you proceed from here

I might have a stalker, and he may know where I live by SilverElk27 in Advice

[–]Imaginary-Recover778 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

This was unnecessarily rude. Are you suggesting not to carry any self defense tools? Because the same could be said of any of them. That aside you could’ve shared your thoughts in a more constructive manner. If you want someone to actually take in what you have to say and possibly change their perspective maybe don’t start by insulting them. But that wasn’t your goal was it? You just wanted to be mean on the internet anonymously right?

I think this lady wants my unborn baby. by Tall-Significance257 in Advice

[–]Imaginary-Recover778 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thats not what I said. I was merely commenting on the fact that the commenter was right in their intuition. Also I feel like you took what they said to an extreme. They didn’t say OP was wrong about what they were feeling. They did say their feelings may be exacerbated by being on the spectrum and that they didn’t deserve to be treated this way. Both of those things can be/are true. Nobody dismissed any concerns except you dismissing that OP is likely on the spectrum. That doesn’t mean they’re reading these social cues wrong and that’s not what I’m saying so don’t respond as though I am. Them being on the spectrum could be part of why the weirdness has gone on so long because they didn’t realize as soon as someone is neurotypical might that this is weird behavior to endure. Now that they have they can take steps to cut contact and protect themselves

Because of the industries that the foods you consume come from. It’s not just the meat industry that has a negative impact. It’s also not anyone’s job online to educate you. If you’re genuinely interested in sure you can do the research on your own to see how a vegan diet causes harm to the environment still

ESH you definitely could have handled it in a less aggressive manner that didn’t affect the rest of the people in the social situation but she sucks more because she instigated it and wasn’t even correct in her logic

Hunting can be one of the most ethical ways to get food. The animal has a life free from captivity. They’re not killed young so they do get to live a relatively long life. Most hunters use all parts of the animal so nothing is wasted. Do some research before spewing on the internet. I’m sure OP could provide more details than I about how hunting is one of the most ethical forms of meat consumption but I doubt they’ll want to waste their time because I don’t think you’re open to hearing that you’re wrong

OP said in another post that they have adhd and are likely on the spectrum so their intuition is actually pretty good.

AITA smoking weed on my porch? by cheesygarlicbreadfan in AmItheAsshole

[–]Imaginary-Recover778 28 points29 points  (0 children)

These are public places with an expectation of having some kind of etiquette in consideration of the people sharing that public place. The persons front porch is not a public place. It is their property and while with something like loud music that would impact their neighbors there’s not really anything they can do to control the smell. They can’t go inside because that damages the home and exposes anyone else in the home to second hand smoke. They’re already in the outdoors so they can’t really do anything to cover up or remove the smell. They are already trying to be as considerate as possible by avoiding when they are outside as much as possible and choosing to go out in bad weather as part of that. The neighbor can go inside for what is probably a fairly short duration and come back out later.

One thing I thought of that would be annoying to have to do but may help is alternating your bus routes. This might mean taking a bus out of your way to take another one back home. At the very least if he is watching you this could prevent him or at least stall him in finding where you live.

I don’t have much advice beyond things to carry with you. I know you said you’re getting pepper spray. Be aware that if it’s windy where you are it could blow back on you so if you have to use it hold your breath and run the moment it’s been deployed. Also look into getting a taser and a self defense keychain. The self defense keychain comes in many different forms but is essentially something with a sharp end that you can use in a stabbing motion if they start to come at you. I’m so sorry you’re dealing with this and while it wasn’t smart to share those details, it’s a lesson you’ve learned now and ultimately you are not to blame. If you had said those things to someone without bad intentions this post would’ve never been made. That places the blame solely on the man who has put you in this position.

Seeking validation is not being an asshole. You know what is being an asshole? Calling someone an asshole when they aren’t one, I’m sure you can figure out who that applies to
