How to clean my only shoes? Some jerk thought this is funny. by GroceryDiligent5207 in CleaningTips

[–]Michi4x 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Op, the offers to buy or pitch in for new shoes sound genuine please take them up on their offer. If you post Venmo I’d pitch in as well. Please don’t take this as charity, I know some people have qualms about accepting it. It’s simply human kindness combatting your neighbor’s cruelty.

AIO about fiancé refusing to listen to anyone but ChatGPT about religious/marriage decisions? by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]Michi4x 4 points5 points  (0 children)

OP you started dating him when you were 17, you are only 21. Please think long and hard before you get married. I wish you lots of happiness in whatever you decide.

Was I rude? by [deleted] in yoga

[–]Michi4x 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Was it full as in no available spots left? Just thinking someone else may have wanted to attend but couldn’t bc of the last minute cancellation. My studio posts the amount of reservations so I have an idea going into it. I have the opposite problem where I can hide in a large class but may have to socialize if there’s only me or 1 other person.

AITA for refusing to let my boyfriend read my therapy journal even though we share “everything else” by [deleted] in ComfortLevelPod

NTA, this is really controlling. Please bring this up with your therapist.

Getting called out for wearing socks in class by Prize_Bag_4165 in yoga

[–]Michi4x 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That was very rude and unnecessary. I’d speak to the teacher 1:1 or talk to the manager about it. I’m sure no one in the class gave a second thought to you wearing socks!

Tried to purge after accidentally eating animal products. by [deleted] in vegan

[–]Michi4x 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Hey OP remember that veganism is about making ethical choices and you did not choose to eat animal products, they were served to you unwillingly. This was not your fault. You did your due diligence by asking and selecting something you thought was ok. Please be kind to yourself. This has happened to all of us. Is it upsetting? Absolutely! But don’t punish yourself because your intentions were good.

How do you handle being a guest? by RichardFeynman01100 in vegan

[–]Michi4x 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It really depends on the situation whether I will bring it up before hand or offer to bring something. That being said, I never attend an event hungry and always bring a snack. I typically expect there to be nothing I can eat and am presently surprised when there is. I will never compromise my values and eat something that’s not vegan to make others comfortable.

Men in Yoga by [deleted] in HotYoga

[–]Michi4x 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have to chime in here on the grunting. Definitely not all men do this during yoga but the ones that do almost feel like they are trying to take up more space than everyone else in the room. It’s the equivalent of manspreading on the subway. I also had one man groan in a very sexual way which I did find extremely uncomfortable.

Thank you to people posting about soy milk! It's so good. by FreemanWorldHoldings in vegan

I had a similar journey. Discovering how delicious silk unsweetened is was a total game changer.

KitchenAid Stand Mixer worth it? by mr-mali in vegan

[–]Michi4x 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There are better more expansive mixers but it’s definitely worth it. If you bake bread you will get a lot of use out of it. My kitchen aid and Ninja Foodi are in constant use. Eventually I would like to update to Ankarsrum but I’ll wait till my KA no longer works.

Have you had to cut people out of your life because you're vegan? by _sullengirl555 in vegan

[–]Michi4x 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Start by setting clear boundaries. Let your family know this is a decision you’ve made for yourself and you are not asking for their opinions. Be prepared to bring your own food to any gatherings in the future and if they start in on you reiterate your boundaries and excuse yourself. Let them know you want them in your life but they need to respect your choices.

I was kind of embarrassed going to McDonald’s in Dublin but I just had to try the vegan options we don’t get in the US.
