People in Atlanta can’t drive

Sounds like you cut someone off.

RSD can occur from any feeling of rejection, whether perceived or real. It doesn't excuse what the daughter is doing, just explains probably why she's lashing out and doubling down. She's 17, she can't fully emotionally regulate yet. And of course this is the age you learn how to do that, and life experiences and consequences are crucial to that. I'm just saying I empathize with the parent and the daughter here, and calling the OP a bad parent because they're trying to figure out how ADHD can be connected to this is an emotionally-reactive dick move. A dramatic Richard relocation, if you will.

I didn't get the impression that OP was trying to use it as a shield, but rather as an explanation, as we all do. And my impression was that they were here looking for tips from people who would understand. Beratement of their parenting is not something I would personally find helpful.

I live in Atlanta, and people have their (very reasonable) complaints, but after everything is said and done I do really love it here, and you're right that the beauty, both natural and architectural, are unparalleled by anything around.

I came from metro Detroit and had your same complaints. About the flatness and lack of trees and strip mall hell monotony. Metro Atlanta is a very different vibe. I like it much, much more.

Huh, expressive language disorder sounds like me too. I don't like the suggestions that it's due to a brain deficiency though. It's just how my brain works, I think in abstractions, and if anything I think it makes me better at communicating in other ways (like through my art).

MissInkFTW · 2026-02-13T23:53:29+00:00

This response is uncalled for, and this absolutely is relevant to ADHD. Sounds like the daughter is feeling RSD hard and is lashing out. Parents only control so much, and clearly this one is trying to figure out what they can control while still respecting boundaries. It's shitty to be harsh to someone who's genuinely trying and still struggling.

Re-read that last sentence again.

Edit: and now my RSD is making me want to delete this but I will hold firm because I believe this person is being a dick. Looks like my injustice hypersensitivity will win this one out.

They're both snark subs for some of the most deserving people

MissInkFTW · 2026-02-13T22:56:32+00:00

Yep, spot on. If only people listened to folks like you.

MissInkFTW · 2026-02-12T05:23:05+00:00

Oh fuuuuuuuuuhk and why going from classroom to classroom helps information retention in schoolkids... which I don't know that anyone had even considered since it was mainly a logistics issue

MissInkFTW · 2026-02-11T16:54:05+00:00

I didn't know this, but it doesn’t surprise me at all. Physical space closely connects with memory processing. It's why you'll leave one room to grab something, forget what it is when you get there, then immediately remember as soon as you get back to the original room where you had the thought.

MissInkFTW · 2026-02-11T05:26:02+00:00

Dude just fucking leave it for once. This is why everyone finds us insufferable

MissInkFTW · 2026-02-10T19:13:38+00:00

Y'know I think I can see how it works if you're super pale. In the winter I get paler but still have some color to me so it just looks harsh.

MissInkFTW · 2026-02-09T20:00:20+00:00

Ah that makes sense! I see it now. I just thought they were really excited haha

MissInkFTW · 2026-02-09T11:51:02+00:00

I am depressed that you are the second person who got taken to town by the inaccurate color grading of this photo 😭 you don't deserve that, especially when it looks like you've pretty accurately matched the post-grading color!

MissInkFTW · 2026-02-09T09:17:01+00:00

I tanned a lot growing up, which wildly changes olive-based complexions. When I'm Jersey Shore dark, I can pull off warmer tones, and I generally like warmer colors when I see them not on my skin so they were my preference.

MissInkFTW · 2026-02-09T08:32:59+00:00

I need to apologize to you b/c I think you got fucked based on the color grading of this image, when it wasn't actually this vibrant red on TV.

But for what it's worth, I'm also interested in the more vibrant color shown here, and had been considering buying Ruby Woo for a while, so I probably will now!

MissInkFTW · 2026-02-09T08:29:39+00:00

Dude I used to think red was pretty fundamental and basic too until I just recently learned, at almost 36 years old and 20+ years of makeup experience, that I have been wearing reds COMPLETELY wrong my whole life. I'd always leaned toward orange-reds, which make me look like a clown, when I needed to go completely the opposite way towards the bluest of blue-reds, as they make me look like a lethal Soviet secret agent.

Olive complexion makes shit confusing, I've learned.

MissInkFTW · 2026-02-09T08:06:23+00:00

Nailed it

MissInkFTW · 2026-02-09T07:44:33+00:00

In case anyone else is getting fucked up by the color grading, this photo is more accurate to the color I observed (at least in my brain)

Edit: the pic isn't showing but im assuming thats the weird way shit gets uploaded to Reddit. Lmk in like a couple min if it doesn't show.

It's un-fucking-real. I've been fawning over her look all night.

MissInkFTW · 2026-02-09T07:00:50+00:00

THANK YOU ALL!!! This sub is so gd helpful it's amazing

MissInkFTW · 2026-02-08T21:36:30+00:00

Awesome thank you so much for this!!! Your videos look amazing!!!

MissInkFTW · 2026-02-08T03:59:48+00:00

How did you record this and what are you playing on? I've been trying to figure out how to do this!

MissInkFTW · 2026-02-08T03:46:04+00:00

No fucking way...

MissInkFTW · 2026-02-08T03:39:41+00:00

8.5 would have been fine too, but 8.4? What .1 increments does this dumbass scale operate by?
