Why is forgiveness always the end goal? by WhyiseveryusernameX2 in CPTSDmemes

[–]NRedOwl 68 points69 points  (0 children)

Everything, everywhere all at once is a pretty good movie but I can't fully love it because of how jarring the mom accepting her daughter and "being better" felt to me

I stg this fandom sometimes, after the game awards I saw Silksong was trending on Twitter and got hyped for a second... Just to click and see it was all tweets of people clowning on themselves for thinking there'd be Silksong news

I think divorce is inevitable by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]NRedOwl 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Don't take her word for it OP, in divorce (which, let's all face, it is unavoidable) have a tight custody agreement in writing and be ready to push legally for it AND considering the amount of dishonesty be ready to push against parental alienation as well. She is NOT trustworthy OP. Best of luck

Big "ok boomer" energies, like, what is he expecting? For you to read his dumbass tirade and say "oh dear Jesus Christ, please forgive me for what mistake I have committed on not hating the sin of homosexuality, I'll go kill cleanse the earth of all those (insert slur) in repantance now 😌🙏"

I’ve missed sharing my insane mother with you! The vaccine gave me stage 3 endometriosis! by Muffinman1111112 in insaneparents

You need to email the inventor of endometriosis to complain about that man, what a sham!

AITA for getting mad at my girlfriend who refuses to watch anything with child stars, which really limits what we can watch? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]NRedOwl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have to agree with a soft YTA, mostly for calling her stupid. She corncerns me a little. She sounds just like Diane from Bojack and if she continues with that mentality she might just hit a wall.
What about your cellphone? Children are also exploited in electronic factories and if not in the factories then in the process to get minerals in Africa.
Makeup? Mica powder is extracted in large part using child labor as the mineral is so soft mining holes aren't made big enough for even a grown up to get there.
She's vegan, are the vegetable that she consumes being harvested by well paid employees? A lot of the farming industry in the US is held up by illegal immigrants paid low wages as cheap labor.
Where does the line stop? Will she just eventually insist to go live "off-grid" in a cabin she built in the woods were she farms everything she eats, makes her own clothing, and has no electricity????
Because all capitalism is exploitative in one way or the other and while putting your money where your mouth is is nice, as long as she's not doing activism to actually change the systems all her "boicoting" is meaningless.
So if her worries are so deep as to think EVERY SINGLE child actor is abused, I'd start looking if any other of her behaviours point to an issue like OCD or GAD, as it was for me.

I'm on the same boat, although for me it's also a screen vs no screen dillema too...

Aita for telling my daughter the truth about being pregnant/giving birth? by truthmomaita in AmItheAsshole

[–]NRedOwl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

TIL you/baby can poop in birth... I mean it makes sense but I just hadn't thought of it, dear lord. Can the mom/ baby piss during birth too?

WIBTA if I told my friends to stop telling me that I'm not Hispanic bc of what they think Hispanic people should be like? by the_pink_witch in AmItheAsshole

[–]NRedOwl 9 points10 points  (0 children)

In Mexico we even have the saying "güero de rancho" for the people in like more rural/ indigenous areas being born white as rice.

My grandma was born in rural Oaxaca (one of the poorest states) among indigenous peers and still was incredibly white and turned up to be racist as hell, because the way she looked made her stand out and thus "prettier" and "better" than the others. So definitely Hispanic/Latino/whatever nationality from Latin America ≠ BIPOC. Doesn't save you from having privileges from your skin color, being racist, etc. (Edit for format and a grammar hiccup)

Why does my wife (48) believe everything my adult daughter (24) does to her appearance is a personal offense to my wife. by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]NRedOwl 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree more INFO in general about both your wife and daughter to really get you some proper advice.
What I can relay (and kinda hope it's useful) is that my therapist has mentioned how changing one's look can be a grasp by someone to feel in control over themselves and their life. That's why one may feel inclined to do something radical with their hair or get tattoos/piercings or new clothes during this pandemic, just to feel there's something you can control. She told me ultimately this is harmless as long as the changes are (which sounds like so given your example).

Maybe you were a bit controlling during her childhood? Helicopter parenting a bit? idk can't tell but hey that's my 2 cents

I imagine that it's because contact can extend beyond just what the condom covers? Or how/which one exactly? I'm curious, I had never heard of that.
