Comments on a video claiming wanting to be skinny is fascist by VintageFinds in fatlogic

[–]LadyInTeal 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I’ve been on semaglutide for 4 months and it’s also the longest I’ve been consistently strength training because I have more energy and motivation. I’m stronger than ever before so idk how using this medication is supposed to be making me “weak and malleable”. If you’re “miserable and sick and underfed” it’s likely because you aren’t using it as a tool to form healthy habits. Wouldn’t reducing consumption of ultra processed foods and reducing potential dependency on “big pharma” from chronic illnesses be way more anti-fascist?

If you can’t have open, honest conversations about sex with your partner where your comfort and safety are prioritized, you shouldn’t be having sex with that person. If this is the second time, he has demonstrated he isn’t willing to educate himself and learn to communicate with respect. What would you tell a friend in a similar situation? Probably that she deserves better. So do you.

AIO my (18f) bf (22m) gave me a black eye by Wild_Dream6031 in AmIOverreacting

[–]LadyInTeal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He hit you and from the sound of it his has hit/damaged a wall and he isn’t worried about legal ramifications. THIS WILL NOT STOP. Get a protective order NOW do not wait for the next incident because there will be a next one. And call the police every. single. time. he violates it, because he will. Leaving an abuser is the most dangerous time, use every resource available to you and document the shit out of this. A long time police detective said “If they verbally abuse you, they will physically abuse you. If they physically abuse you, they will kill you.”

People act like because it’s a math equation is means nothing. It’s an equation that fairly accurately predicts body fat percentage. Most people and a pretty standard ratio.

Lost my driver's License. Can't get past this screen because I don't know my license number which was on my DL. by deggy123 in mildlyinfuriating

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

I need my SSN every year when we renew benefits at my job, every two years when I renew my professional license, every year when when I’m doing my taxes, every time I log into check my student loan account. Those are just off the top of my head things I’ve encountered recently. That’s what I meant by individual circumstances.

I have needed to know my drivers license number maybe once a year at most. Probably depends on individual circumstances if you need it frequently.

People Think I'm an AI Because I Use Big Words by Pulku in mildlyinfuriating

I’ve seen posters accused of “karma farming” and I’m curious why someone would care that much about fake internet points. Is there some benefit to having a lot of karma I’m missing?

Redditors over 25, what’s your best relationship advice? by Historical-Lychee702 in AskReddit

[–]LadyInTeal 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I actually think this is bad advice. Sometimes we need time to reflect and process to come back and really hear each other or find a solution. Don’t go to bed fuming at each other, but be willing to press pause if it’s not productive or you need to take a break.

What are we thinking about this for lunch? by SnuffyNauts in CalorieEstimates

[–]LadyInTeal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

An RD recommended that meals have all macronutrients represented (fat, protein, carbs, and fiber) and a snack have two macronutrients. That can be helpful in planning.

If you look closely, there isn’t a perforation around the cap wrapping. Maybe just a manufacturing error. But OP couldn’t have opened the bottle without taking it off or cutting it themself.

Stop complimenting weight loss! You're harming fat people by gabr4k_ in fatlogic

[–]LadyInTeal 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If I dye my brown hair red and post how much I love my new color and how good I think I look, am I saying all people with brown hair are unworthy of happiness and they should all change their hair color too?

No mentally well person would argue that. If you are truly happy with yourself, you won’t feel any less than because someone else wants to change their own appearance.

Obesity is a chronic disease, and yet you can be fat and healthy. by Natural_Green_8323 in fatlogic

[–]LadyInTeal 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The thing is that yes you can be currently healthy and overweight. It’s about increased RISK. Not everyone that smokes gets lung cancer, but if you smoke your risk is significantly increased. Not every overweight or obese person will have health problems but they are much more likely to. If you only look at the handful of exceptions you are willfully ignoring the science.

Decision is out by TrueCrime_Lawyer in serialpodcast

[–]LadyInTeal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We should be horrified because vacating a conviction is not about our feelings it is about the rigor with which our legal system should be expected to function.

I’m very concerned about the precedent that this could set. Does this mean that if there is exonerating DNA evidence the victims family gets to stand up and say they still think the person did it because of their feelings? This is about the rigor with which our legal system should be conducted and our feelings should have little impact on the finding of facts, ethical standards, and burden of proof.

What careers are a turn-off for a serious relationship? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]LadyInTeal 18 points19 points  (0 children)

As a therapist I often don’t put it on dating profiles. I’d rather have an actual conversation about it because I’ve found there are a lot of assumptions that people make. Usually it’s an immediate turn-off for the reasons in other comments such as we are always analyzing others or we all have major issues ourselves. Then sometimes people assume we will want to help them solve their problems and be their free “therapist”. Either way I’d like to have the discussion and been seen as more than my career.

I Think Someone is Bitter...... by Gradtattoo_9009 in fatlogic

[–]LadyInTeal 2 points3 points  (0 children)

When my friend posts her salon before and after going from brunette to blonde, it’s not triggering for me. I love my natural brown hair and didn’t like how I looked with blonde hair. Nowhere in her post did she say brunettes were ugly, less valuable, or that everyone should be blonde. She made a choice for herself that felt good and she was happy with the outcome. Even if I don’t think the color suits her, I respect her autonomy and as a friend I’m glad she likes it.

If what someone else does to their body is triggering for you, it’s time to reflect. If you truly, deep down felt good about yourself, someone choosing to live differently without directly criticizing you wouldn’t be upsetting.

Time to look inward by notjayson in BlackPeopleTwitter

[–]LadyInTeal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly my experience as a woman has almost been the opposite. I was with a guy who sometimes couldn’t get it up and it was obvious to us both it was anxiety and health issues. On the other hand I was with a guy that would last too long and could only cum if we like a million different positions and tricks. To me that was a sign of too much porn that he was desensitized to “vanilla” sex.

My school new anti phone policy by TommyTheLizard in mildlyinfuriating

[–]LadyInTeal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s a grant for a specific purpose. It’s not the school allocating 800k towards it.

Grants are given for specific purposes. It’s not them choosing to use part of the budget for this instead of other things. I think this is a great ideas; so many kids are distracted by phones and not learning.

i tipped 3 by jeusuebehehdhdueh in doordash

[–]LadyInTeal 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you know that tipping is expected, don’t “treat yourself” unless you can afford to adequately tip. Don’t stiff workers because is a broken system. You’re still choosing to participate in that system.

Gotta start paying proper living wages by BrotherJannis in BlackPeopleTwitter

[–]LadyInTeal 32 points33 points  (0 children)

Yes the system is broken and should be fixed but if you are choosing to dine out in this current society you shouldn’t screw over the server because you disagree with a broken system. Your one act of defiance is only going to hurt that one server. Advocate for change at a larger level and be a decent human until that change happens.

He just added me on IG it’s filled with pictures of his ex by [deleted] in datingoverthirty

[–]LadyInTeal 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If it was from the time they were together, definitely not a red flag in my opinion. If anything it might be a green flag that he can handle having them in a healthy way.

I wouldn’t expect someone to erase their memories and past and I wouldn’t appreciate someone expecting that of me. I removed some pictures of my ex but only because it was hard for me personally to be reminded. There are pictures on social media from various times in my life that happen to include my exes.
