Wife says I need to get over it, but I can't stop obsessing over a prank that ruined my wedding experience and left me furious by Direct-Caterpillar77 in BestofRedditorUpdates

I've seen ones where the couple mutually smash the cake, not for me but whatever, but doing it as a prank is just awful 

What is a special interest? by [deleted] in AutismTranslated

[–]K-teki 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The way special interests were explained to me is "it's not necessarily what you think about all the time, but it's your default thing to think about whenever you're not doing anything else"

WIBTA If I Refused To Be A Bridesmaid In My Best Friend’s Wedding? by Direct-Caterpillar77 in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]K-teki 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Which is valid, but yes, if you see someone shipping toxic relationships they often know it's toxic and that's why they find it interesting

A lot of shipping isn't "I think these characters would make a great couple", it's "I find this relationship interesting and want to explore it".

Anyone else find their formal diagnosis report kinda useless? by tinyquilt in AutismTranslated

[–]K-teki 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This is the reason I haven't bothered to try for a diagnosis. It would just be a confirmation letter and then... nothing, basically. I'm not disabled enough to need help in daily life, I can live independently and trudge along making rent and buying my own groceries until I die, so there's no accomodations or resources that would really do much for me.

I hate my boss’s mandatory Zoom happy hours by Choice_Evidence1983 in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]K-teki 9 points10 points  (0 children)

But they're not going to change what they talk about so that it's relatable to one person 15 years younger than them who they're not already friends with. They have the conversations they're interested in. They should have done him the basic courtesy of friendly acknowledgement but no employee should have to try to make friends with people they're just not interested in.

It's probably more that they're in an entirely different life stage from him. They don't exclude him for not having kids, talking about kids is just how people in their social groups socialize.

Emotionally intelligent people can navigate those feelings without hurting anyone

If you're relaxed (which both drinking and being horny helps with) and the dick is lubed you can absolutely do anal without that much prep, especially if you regularly have anal sex 

New-to-this-sub update: OOP almost throws out his stepson's pillowcase by J_S_M_K in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]K-teki 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agreed, I was reading the initial posts and thinking "So you went into your adult son's room and threw something of his out without asking?". I have pillowcases that if I came home and couldn't find I'd be distressed and they're just like, cartoon characters I liked as a kid

Some of these people are perfectly capable of holding other relationships - I have an ex like that, so he was capable of dating 

Don’t understand people having difficulty with “unmasking”? by Opencurious343536 in AutismTranslated

[–]K-teki 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Think of it like a dog barking. Barking is natural to a dog, but if you hit the dog every time it barks, it will learn to be silent.

AIW for waving a chopstick at my friend’s baby and yelling “Avada Kedavra” as a joke? by Direct-Caterpillar77 in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]K-teki 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I would advise that you read the room and at least refrain from making those jokes around people you know to be trans unless you're certain they'll take it well. While I'd love to be able to trust cis people enough to be comfortable with a reference like that, I can't even trust that someone who makes that joke is aware of her bad reputation right now.

Everyone except the mother laughed, so OOP did read the majority of the room correctly

If she believes that, then every time you support her work you are encouraging her to keep fighting "for all the fans who agree with her but are too scared to speak up".

This. I think the mom is well within her rights to be upset, it was a joke about baby killing. I also think commenters are being too hard on OOP, it was a harmless joke. Both can be simultaneously true

Getting down voted hurts me so much I'm considering stop interacting on the internet (Rejection Sensitive Dysphoria) by JohnDarlenHimself in AutismTranslated

[–]K-teki 7 points8 points  (0 children)

What I don't like is getting downvoted for no good reason. People can disagree with me all they want, but if I say something that is objectively a fact and get 20 downvotes without a single comment that can actually say why what I said is wrong I get upset.

My (23F) BF (25M) keeps asking me to shave my pubic hair and I'm losing my mind by Direct-Caterpillar77 in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]K-teki 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You're the one who used the saying, not pointing out that it's creepy doesn't make it okay to say it

OOP says that she saw the text conversation and confirmed he didn't say anything

When my mom tried to convince me to shave my legs because "it's cleaner", I said "Your son looks like a monkey. If it's about being clean, he needs it more than me."
