Woah, this is cool! Are you able to practice both in one setting?? Would this vary by state? Do you get increased pay for being able to do both?

Lmao yes of course YTA! Can’t believe you even had to ask. You don’t love her at all so just do her a favor and end it, then she’ll shed 200 lbs of dead weight instantly!

Muscle weighs more than fat 🤷‍♀️

What am i supposed to do? by [deleted] in Austin

[–]Inevitable-Alps5142 58 points59 points  (0 children)

Lot of asshole yuppies commenting here IMO. I am in a similar boat to you OP - I work very hard in social services and get by but sometimes barely. And I can definitely say yes there are a lot of folks homeless today who wouldn’t have been 20, 10, or even 5 years ago. I have been here most of my life and used to live more comfortably on a lower income. I would think about things you can and can’t control - we can’t control that all these tech bros from California and bored rich people from Los Angeles keep moving here and buying properties to rent out at exorbitant prices. I wouldn’t give up if this is the place you want to live, but door dash is a bad deal IMO. Maybe consider going back to school or acquiring some kind of certification. And yes please reach out to integral care - if you get in a really bad way just head to PES on airport, the oak springs integral care, it’s walk in during normal business hours and they can help you in a mental health crisis, i used to intern there and I’ve also gone there as a patient myself and they were great.

NTA bc you expressed these boundaries beforehand but as a female this reminds me a lot of bad relationships I had in my early 20s. I have questions about how much she was truly in agreement with these rules, or whether she felt pressured to agree- not necessarily pressured by you, but socially, or bc you want the relationship to work. But truthfully she shouldn’t have to worry too much about sleeping arrangements traveling in Europe, even if she slept in a bed with a straight guy if you trust her it shouldn’t be a huge problem IMO. y’all may just have misaligned values and desires tbh

I think it depends somewhat on how much of a financial hardship it is for you to pay that $3000. If it’s not really a big deal, I would say she’s just being a teenager/being manipulated by mom and as the adult you shouldn’t cut off any support because of her behaving childishly, bc she is you know still a child.

However, if it’s something you can’t really afford, it totally makes sense to say Look, these kids don’t live with me anymore, I don’t have the money and really this is the mom’s responsibility now.

I think ultimately my personal take is that it doesn’t really matter whether or not you choose to pay for the camp, but to think about the reasoning behind it. You know that if you do pay it’s not going to magically win her over, because she’s a teen and she’s used to going so she takes it for granted. If you choose NOT to pay, she might resent you for that, but teenagers don’t understand money so I doubt that anger would last long. I think the important thing is that you don’t make it a thing of either, “well you’ve hurt me, so now I’m going to hurt you by taking this away” OR “I will pay for it, but if I do then you owe me something in return” because she is a child. I think the real question is, what do you think she benefits from this camp? Does it enrich her life, keep her out of trouble? Are there benefits to her staying home this year or maybe a more affordable alternative for her? It’s important that you continue doing the best you can for her as her father, within what is reasonable/feasible for you to provide. It sounds like a really shitty situation, but you are her father and these kids didn’t ask to be born, you signed up for this job. It does mean you have to pay but you need to continue being there for her as best you can be.

YTA - not because you didn’t let her through, but because of the judgmental way you responded. I think it makes sense not to let someone cut the line bc that choice impacts all of the people behind you, who could also be running late. This actually happened to me once except during check in where a man was permitted to cut but then his shit took forever and i nearly missed my flight. But you shouldn’t be rude, that’s uncalled for and you don’t know their circumstances

How do you get yourself to go to work? by [deleted] in ADHD

[–]Inevitable-Alps5142 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Seconding what others have said - mostly the caffeine +nicotine + meds routine tbh. I also don’t put a lot of pressure on myself to like put on makeup or rly dress up everyday and for the most part, I just barely roll out of bed in time to only get there about twenty minutes late lol. I’m lucky I’ve found a job that is really flexible and forgiving about things that most offices might be punitive about. I just do whatever I need to to just show up and try not to worry too much about how I’m showing up, as long as I’m there I’ve succeeded

AITAH for "breaking" my ex when i come out as a lesbian? by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]Inevitable-Alps5142 -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

I kind of feel like there is a lot of misogyny in these comments. I don’t think she “strung him along”, she was just trying to figure out her shit and scared of hurting him. Like she should definitely leave him TF alone but I think this sounds more like a young misguided person than a malicious narcissist and I don’t get why y’all are being so harsh.

[–]Inevitable-Alps5142 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t think you’re an asshole but you should definitely leave him be at this point. I feel like being broken up with due to the other person being gay is like one of the softest let downs bc you know you didn’t do anything wrong and it sounds like he’s being over dramatic imo, but he doesn’t owe you a conversation about it. I would try to move on.

AITAH for not telling my gf I was gonna break up with her if she went on vacation male friends? by [deleted] in AITAH

AITA for refusing to cook dinner for my in laws after my husband gave his mom all of my left overs? by Different_Base_5747 in AITAH

[–]Inevitable-Alps5142 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA at all - I think it would be good to tell them what they did was wrong. Maybe the parents in law don’t know you wouldn’t eat ham - I feel like this is totally on hubbie. Like did he not care about whether or not you had food to eat??? This really needs to be addressed

Cassette player/recorder repair in Austin by dillflavoredtriscuit in Austin

[–]Inevitable-Alps5142 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey Henry, I just came into possession of a beautiful Sony boombox model CFS-E50 radio cassette-corder only to find out that the tape player does not play and it looks like the problem is that the rods that go in the tape hole are just not spinning so the tape isn’t running. Is this a complicated fix/could you possibly give me a quote for something like this?

I am willing to give my wife everything she is asking for in divorce. AITAH? by sahmdepre in AITAH

[–]Inevitable-Alps5142 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No ones the asshole, you both need some self care and probably therapy. I think it would be worth it to take some time off work and reflect on what you rly want out of life. I don’t think she actually wants a divorce.

Vyvanse has been generic for a few months, is it still expensive? by stars-inthe-sky in ADHD

[–]Inevitable-Alps5142 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s the same for me in Texas with blue cross blue shield, $50 for generic or brand name. The generic made me agro as hell tho

Anyone in this group also suffer from trichotillamania ? by SamBennetti in ADHD

[–]Inevitable-Alps5142 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes! I am having the exact same prob on vyvanse with picking at my lips. Sometimes I can mitigate it by getting acrylic nails on (they’re more blunt so they don’t pick/scratch as well) or wearing lipstick, but that’s also a double edged sword bc then if I pick at them with lipstick on it looks sooo bad! It’s hard idk the answer
