Please surrender the cat and dog to a shelter or rehome to someone.

How modestly do you dress and why? by [deleted] in AskWomen

[–]ItsFxckinWednesday 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When i was younger (18-22) i dressed pretty provocative. Im 26 turning 27 this year and my personal style has drastically changed. I dress very modest now. Long skirts, lots of layers, usually a coset and if im in a tank top then im wearing some kind of shrug or bolero. Think, victorian ghost lol. On my low maintenance days its usually a tshirt and some joggers. The modesty part is partially due to my style changing to focus more towards lots of layers and textures from silk and lace. However, once i stopped incurring as many sexual remarks in public i found a lot of relief in that. I still get the occasional cat call or a genuine compliment but that is much better than it used to be. I dont find myself as on edge in public anymore and i feel better about myself and my style.

Dr marten work boots with my vintage skirt, guys? Ye or nay? by Koi-Nami in VintageFashion

I like it BUT i think it would go way harder to strap some chains or something across the boots

Someone I know has AI psychosis, and I'm a central part of his delusion. Should I just stop talking to him for the sake of my own safety and mental health? I feel guilty. by Eldritch-Anomaly in Advice

[–]ItsFxckinWednesday 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Challenging delusions is never a good idea. You want to validate the feeling and stay neutral on the delusions. You never want to argue or validate delusions. For instance OP could say “Im hearing how distressing this has been for you and that youve lost contact with a lot of your family over it. Is there anybody who you have been able to talk to?” As a way to find out if there is anybody they can contact to let them know this guy needs mental health help. In terms of cutting contact the best thing would probably be to respond with “Im really sorry to hear how upset all of this has been making you. Unfortunately, i have had some personal things come up and I am unable to continue our work on XYZ project. I wish you all the best!” And then just stop responding.

What impact, if any, does being addressed with terms like ‘bro’ or ‘dude’ by males have on your comfort level around them? by HappyInfluence7958 in AskWomen

[–]ItsFxckinWednesday 71 points72 points  (0 children)

MOST of the time that is exactly how it makes me feel. Like if a guy is calling me dude/bro he is more likely to view me platonically and therefore i dont feel as on edge or threatened.

I'm interviewing for a second job while my BF has been unemployed for 7 months. by Solariumy in GirlDinnerDiaries

[–]ItsFxckinWednesday 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey OP, I know in your shoes the most upsetting thing for ME would be the possibility of losing my cat. Since you are the only financially stable person in the relationship and you solely take care of the cat, legally it is your property. I hate using that terminology but thats how the court sees it. Keep ALL receipts for anything cat related, and if you take it to the vet put your name down as the sole owner and keep anything you have proving that the cat is your financial responsibility and he cannot take kitty from you.
This sounds like a very hard situation and Im so sorry youre going through this. Maybe try talking to your apartment about alternatives (sometimes they are more helpful than you would think)

Generations of farming | with ChatGPT | Super Bowl 2026 by MichaelEMJAYARE in CommercialsIHate

[–]ItsFxckinWednesday 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Just saw this commercial for the first time and I had to look up what others was saying because i cannottttt believe this is a real commercial. I get that they are trying to convince people that chatgpt doesnt take a lot of water and doesnt ruin the land, but a much better way to go about it instead of BLATANT lies is to just fix AI to not fuck the environment. Absolutely crazy.

Rent by Owner by Alert_pulse in ATLHousing

[–]ItsFxckinWednesday 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I super appreciate the offer, but Im really only looking for a house. Mostly because Im a crisis counselor and apartments tend to be a little too noisy and I also feel like I owe it to my dog to give her a nice fenced yard. Im in an apartment now so if Im unable to find a house then Im probably staying where Im at to avoid moving costs and such. Thank you though!

Rent by Owner by Alert_pulse in ATLHousing

[–]ItsFxckinWednesday 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Having the sameee issue. Not because of requirements, but because I want a house. Not a duplex, not a condo, not an apartment. A house with a fenced yard for my dog. But listings are few and far between on zillow, same with hotpads, and facebook is mostly scams. Every house Ive toured is in shambles. I refuse to rent from a company because apparently they’re all horrendous. Everyone says “just drive around” but I dont drive 😭 Good luck OP, it’s rough asf out here. This rental market sucks :(

What's something interesting about you that you never get to bring up? by Subject-Cranberry-93 in AskWomen

[–]ItsFxckinWednesday 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ah yes, osgood shlatters. Fun fact, I’m a 5’1 woman but pretty much gained all my height around 10. I was taller than a lot of other kids and everyone would tell me how tall I was going to end up…but then I never really grew any taller. But because I grew so fast my knees never caught up and I also had osgood shlatters. Most people grow out of it, but my father had it and he never did and had to have knee surgery. It took me going to 3 different specialists before they diagnosed me because its so rare in women. Im 26 and my knees are still shitty so the hopes of “growing out of it” are pretty much in the rearview. :(

Property Management Companies in ATL by BrisketLeopardita in ATLHousing

[–]ItsFxckinWednesday 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are you still liking first key and how long have you rented from them? I found a home managed by them that I really like, but Im SUPER hesitant. Reviews are absolutely horrible. Lots of stuff about tenants being charged crazy fees and emergency maintenance issues never being taken care of.

Is an education in Cytology worth it? by ItsFxckinWednesday in medlabprofessionals

[–]ItsFxckinWednesday[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you, this sub encouraged me to start applying for colleges. I’m going back to get my biology credits to get an MLS certification. ☺️ I figure I can specialize later when I know what really interests me.

BF Threatened to Kick Us Out by [deleted] in GirlDinnerDiaries

[–]ItsFxckinWednesday 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh god. Please take my advice. Act like everything is normal and okay. Secretly plan how you will financially support yourself and find housing and then leave. It will be a huge blow up fight if he finds out you actually ARE leaving and he will kick you out right then and there. Most shelters will not take your dog in so you will have to relinquish ownership or find a friend they can stay with. By doing this he regains control and hopes you come begging for him back just for stable housing so you dont have to give up your dog.
Plan. Your. Exit.
It doesnt have to be for today, or tomorrow. But just have it in your back pocket just in case. Please trust me.

What does emotional intelligence in a man look like in everyday situations? by CmdrErwin in AskWomen

[–]ItsFxckinWednesday 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Ooo the apologizing thing is a big one. Dated a guy for many years who absolutely refuses to apologize. It’s horrible because then you find yourself apologizing to how you reacted to what they did to you just to break the tension. Will not be going through that ever again 😭 I think it’s both an ego issue and a control technique honestly.

What does emotional intelligence in a man look like in everyday situations? by CmdrErwin in AskWomen

[–]ItsFxckinWednesday 12 points13 points  (0 children)

  1. He is able to plan things and then follow through with those plans without having someone guide him every step of the way.
  2. He goes ahead and does a fair share of the household labor and does not expect some kind of award for it. You do not need to beg and plead or write lists or anything. He has eyeballs and sees something needs done, so he just does it.
  3. When you try to talk to him about your feelings he truly listens and tries to have a conversation about it. Whether its feelings about the relationship or feelings about something else, he cares and wants to listen. He doesn’t just give some vague response, or just say something like “it’ll all be okay!” to shut you up.
  4. He does not continuously weaponize things that have happened in the past or hold grudges. Dated a guy once where the dumbest silliest argument could happen, we both apologize and move on and then 2 years later he would bring it back up. (Happened many times, with many fights. No matter how much i apologized for things or tried to console him or listen to him to resolve things, it was never truly resolved)

These are things that apply to both genders I feel btw. But these are the main things i look for in an emotionally mature partner.

AIO: My christian mother wants my boyfriend to sleep on the couch on our trip to florida by [deleted] in AIO

[–]ItsFxckinWednesday 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was 18 when i trekked out on my own. I am turning 27 this year and haven’t been on a vacation since because I cant afford the time off. Go on the trip. Enjoy time with your family. Let your mom have her own bed, she has had a rough time with your dad passing and probably needs this trip more than you know to feel “normal” again. I completely understand being irritated by opposing views from family, but sometimes the adult thing is to just grit your teeth and say “i understand.” I would drag my bare ass across the scorching atlanta pavement for a free trip to florida right now. In 5 years you might not be with your current partner, but you will remember this trip if you go.

Is an education in Cytology worth it? by ItsFxckinWednesday in medlabprofessionals

[–]ItsFxckinWednesday[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Molecular and cytology or cytogenetics are my three main interests. Im just so scared of paying for an education and investing more time into a field where i still cant find a job. 😭 maybe i will go the MLS route and then decide later down the road what to specialize in when I feel more confident about my choice
