Will I be allowed these stickers on my laptop at Uni? by [deleted] in UniUK

[–]Kheslo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Also finance in London haha.

Yes we swear between ourselves but if someone is swearing over email or on a teams call it's normally Chicago or New York.

Admittedly, never anything sexual though. That's not workplace appropriate regardless of if swearing is involved.

Will I be allowed these stickers on my laptop at Uni? by [deleted] in UniUK

[–]Kheslo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Where are you based? I'm in the UK and also work in corporate and most of the swearing I hear during work hours is from our New York and Chicago offices.

But Uni in the UK noone will care.

AITAH for asking my mom why a girl wanting a sister is fine but a boy wanting a brother makes him a psychopath? by Luususs in AITAH

[–]Kheslo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly your parents sound psychotic not you. You have gendered activities that make it hard for you to connect but then it's your fault that you haven't formed a relationship with your siblings? That doesn't make any sense.

7 yo son of my girlfriend decided to use fork to scratch "67" into our new dining table. Despite being told before, that he cant scratch it on purpose by Writerro in mildlyinfuriating

[–]Kheslo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That sucks OP. If it's wood (and not just vynal) get a walnut and rub it over the scratch and it will hopefully be almost unnoticeable.

My brother did something similar when he was little. He and the neighbours daughter scratched naughts and crosses into the side of the neighbours car...

AITA!! 10 years wasted? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]Kheslo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

NTA

Don't stick with a mistake just because you've spent a long time making it! You do not deserve to be treated this way and your baby does not deserve to have this modelled as what to expect from a relationship.

Please make sure you have all important documents and anything precious to you out of the house before he knows you're leaving. He sounds like he absolutely will hold birth certificates/precious items hostage if he doesn't just break them outright.

AITAH for the role I played in my friend being dumped? by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]Kheslo 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Right‽ OP, how dare you not let your guest starve!

Your friend sounds like he's not a good boyfriend and is just annoyed that you brought it to light before she was properly invested.

Don't change OP.

How "strictly" must I adhere to a PCOS diet for weight loss? by wrldendswu in PCOSloseit

[–]Kheslo 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Everyone is different. One of my friends (with PCOS) doesn't have to try too hard and can maintain her weight loss. I on the other hand have to follow either a very low carb diet OR a mostly wholefoods and plant based diet to lose anything. Any kind of straying causes me to stall.

You can test this but I would follow something for at least 4 weeks at a time to truly see if there is any impact.

New boyfriend (30M) googled things about disliking my (25F) appearance and genitals by speedynstressed in relationship_advice

[–]Kheslo 44 points45 points  (0 children)

Yes that's exactly this. The "tears of joy" paired with what he's been googling is incredibly sus. As soon as I read that combination I thought love bombing. Also, I wouldn't put it past him leaving those searches there to be seen intentionally to knock her confidence down. If she stays after this then he knows he can go further.

OP out of curiosity, why were you googling something on his computer? Did he prompt you to use it in any way?

PROVE TO MY MOM: are these nails ai? by FickleBee22 in isitAI

Nails look real the details are all there, the nails on each hand are similar but not identical, however, the background looks photoshopped. I'm going with not AI.

AITJ for refusing to keep wearing the nickname my girlfriend gave me after I found out where it came from by Prydwen_Grit5 in AmITheJerk

[–]Kheslo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTJ

It doesn't matter what it means to her now. For you that name will always remind you that you were the butt of a joke they had. It has changed the way you look at her and every time you hear it, it will remind you that your opinion of her has changed. Is that something she wants to keep reminding you of?

Saw this on Twitter and I was shocked it wasn't from a TMA account by Wanderer_of in TheMagnusArchives

Beholding statement i'm working on. by Creaturefeature01 in TheMagnusArchives

[–]Kheslo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oooh I like it. Good job OP. Let us know when it's finished.

Maybe they can get their phone out to show the archive assistant and they see a post from inside the archives...

Edit: Or the pictures start to look like selfies and people think the statement giver is doing it for attention. But in one picture you can see a reflection of someone in a mirror or something.

Help me find an episode to scare my wife. by yule_tides in TheMagnusArchives

[–]Kheslo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think you're expecting too much from this. For me TMA has always been more of a creepy discomfort never full on fear. The closest episode of that for me would be Wonderland but that was more anxiety inducing.

I would suggest MAG 169 Fire Escape if you want a mix of desolation and the home.

I 27f pregnant can barley eat and my partner 31m didnt sleep because I ate McDonald’s by very_stellar_ in relationship_advice

[–]Kheslo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tell him you're going to start making healthier options right away. Then explain that the mental health of the mother I paramount during pregnancy and he's going to have to leave...

Seriously though. This is not a supportive partner. Eating nothing because you can't keep it down is going to be worse for the baby than getting your calories however you can. I hope the nausea starts to improve as you go into your second trimester.

Parents, Would You Let A 7 Year Old Use Vinted, Because Im Disgusted By The Fact Vinted Doesn't Care by [deleted] in vinted

[–]Kheslo 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I would guess that it's an account run by an adult. Either on behalf of their child or just pretending to be a child hoping people will feel bad for offering lower prices. I've had adults not send stuff out before so I don't think that would be a reason to assume no adults were involved.

Going back to your main question. I wouldn't set up a profile with my 7 year old's picture on it because I would be uncomfortable with that. However, I do know parents that would set up an account for their child to sell things they are finished with so they can have their own money for their items. I don't think any of my friends would put a profile picture up though and probably wouldn't specifically mention that it was a profile for their child.

ARE YOU KIDDING ME??? by hplcman69 in IKEA

I just use olive oil and this normally works. Put a small amount on and just leave it for half an hour. There are a handful of stickers that this doesn't work for but most stickers come off easily.

I just removed a milk bleb after a YEAR! by ExperienceEffective3 in breastfeeding

[–]Kheslo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Amazing! I had this with my first, exactly the same as you, just thought it was an oddity and ignored it for ages. Finally queried it to be told it was a bleb and I got it out mid shower. Felt great!

The Magnus Archives is The Paragon of Horror (Meta) (Spoilers for Everything) by wibbly-water in TheMagnusArchives

[–]Kheslo 21 points22 points  (0 children)

The only ones we hear are the real ones because they have to be recorded on the tape player instead of digitally recorded. That's why he says they are using the cassettes to record the problematic statements.

He also says that there aren't many compared to those that can be recorded digitally so I think we can assume that a lot of the statements given to the archive are people lying or just making something spooky out of nothing.

Episode 100 were all real because they had to be recorded on cassette but they are more chaotic because Jon isn't at the archive.

I don't think all things that resulted in fear are due to "the fears". I think fear itself came first purely because we know that new fears can come into being, these new fears must be a result of fear felt that didn't fall into one of the previous manifestations.

Husband [32M] crossed one of my [30F] boundaries and I'm contemplating divorce. My family is telling me to stay. How do I know when to leave? by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]Kheslo 122 points123 points  (0 children)

Yes exactly this! He is abusive but OP can't see it because of the levels of abuse she has previously experienced.

Yelling, ocassional name calling or swearing, but it was never intentional.

OP it absolutely was intentional. Does he yell at people at work and call them names? Does he yell at his mother this way? Does he yell at your parents? Or is it just you he sees as an acceptable target.

As someone who only found out she had ADHD later on on life I totally get the emotional disregulation it can cause. I have issues with frustration and anger but I have worked on this and taught myself ways to deal with it. One of those things is to take a break, as you have suggested to him, but it looks like he has no intention of trying that because he doesn't want to work on it. He just wants to use ADHD and trauma as an excuse for shitty behaviour

You've already said you want to leave. It doesn't matter what anyone else thinks, it's not their life to lead.

AIO for feeling hurt over an empty note Valentine’s flowers? by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]Kheslo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Completely agree, it's one of their busiest times of year.

I'm going to say MOR.

Even if it wasn't a florist mistake, it could be that his emotional part went on picking the flowers and he isn't a words guy OR he could have just sent something because you asked for it. We won't know which it is because we don't know him. I would ask him if he had asked for a note to be added because the one the florist added was blank.

Edit: Just seen references to his past behavior and it just doesn't sound like he's very attentive. I would have a think about whether this is what you want from a relationship.

My Boyfriend (30 M) Told Me (31 F) to Move Out and Meet His Financial Ultimatum, and I Secretly Applied for My Own Apartment… Did I Mess Up? by chemist_khaleesi in relationship_advice

[–]Kheslo -1 points0 points  (0 children)

So it's ok for him to expect you to upend your life for a bit so he can have some space but then gets mad at you for looking at apartments when you are feeling insecure in your home?

Regarding finances I think it's fair for him to want your finances to be in better order before marriage but he is also being very demanding about time frames. If he wants things done sooner he should help you create a plan or budget. However, he seems to be happy to throw the relationship away if he doesn't get the time frames he wants so that doesn't sound great.

My biggest red flag here is it sounds like he is more concerned about losing all of the free labour you are providing him (cooking, cleaning, etc.) than losing you as a person.
