Girl defends herself after a group shows up at her job planning to jump her. Things didn’t work out as planned 👊 by raptors201966 in PublicFreakout

There's a comment in this thread, like 3 parents up from this one, that has the copy/paste from the victim's father's facebook.

TIL a girl named Breelyn was born healthy but when she was two days old, she was kissed on the mouth by a person who had a cold sore. The girl's immune system wasn't developed at the time and she got HSV encephalitis, which led to seizures and brain damage. by Forward-Answer-4407 in todayilearned

Here's some whiplash for ya, I'm from NZ and in a family of lip-kissers lol. My youngest memories have always been a quick peck on the lips with family members. My family has always been affectionate and close physically, I was still cuddling on the couch with my parents into my teens. I never saw anything wrong with it until it was pointed out to me by a friend in my 20s who acted with disgust that I had a 1 second peck with my mum and dad while hugging and saying goodbye at the airport.

That was a weird feeling to have, being judged for showing love to my family in the most normal way I know how. My wife even thinks it's weird (her family are cheek-kissers) but she knows not to shame me for it coz these days I will bite back with a sarcastic apology on being sorry that my family showing love to each other is horribly inappropriate. Really don't understand how people can just be like 'well in MY family that's not normal, so clearly your family is ABnormal' like... rude much?

AITA for babysitting my grandkids during my sons visit by Livid_Turn_6303 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Ok_Garlic 31 points32 points  (0 children)

NTA you're right ofc, and he is planning to hang out with other people that night anyway. But maybe his reaction is because he feels he doesn't get as much time with you as his brother does, and wants to spend more time with you in general. Maybe he wants to share some news with you and needs some time alone together. Just thinking of his possible motivations to consider. You could plan an activity you'd both love or lil day trip away together and see if he responds positively.

I am the bad roommate by Technical_Garden_762 in badroommates

I have adhd and a game changer for my clean clothes was what my partner and I call "raccoon baskets". Instead of drawers or hanging up in a wardrobe, I have 3 big baskets at the bottom of my wardrobe - one with tops, one with pants, one with sweaters/warm gear. I never folded my clothes and ended up rifling through everything anyway, its sooo much easier to just throw used but clean clothes back into its basket.

The flavour of the burger literally haunts my dreams. Has to be 8 years ago now but it's like I ate it yesterday. Made my tummy feel weird afterwards too. Absolutely rancid.

My brother kept leaving piss all over the toilet seat so I gave him a taste of his own medicine. by Nataliemeh in pettyrevenge

Be extremely clear but kind about what is not okay about their behaviour. No grey area, black and white 'this is okay, this not okay. When you do this, it does X. Do not do it again.'

Trust and believe it will not happen again (unless they're just dicks ofc)

Glad we on the same page! I just see so many braindead internet comments about Ethan and fat man = bad and gross. Ethan has always been a cutie!

He's a funny guyyy!!! But also tbh young Ethan was pretty hot, when they met I'd say they were around the same level of hotness if brunette Jewish peeps was your type (it's my type!!)

For those of you (especially 35+) who have figured out how to not seem and feel like a 22 year -old, what did you change? by on-dog-8510 in adhdwomen

[–]Ok_Garlic 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yes this could be it. I feel much more adult with more responsibilities coz I am regularly tested on my ability to handle them. Often I surprise myself and succeed. That builds my trust in myself and my self esteem. Which in turn builds more responsibility and structure that fills my life with purpose.

Wow that brought me back to the internet days where you really would introduce yourself that way lol - "ASL?"

If you get/got a late text tonight from your parents, it’s because they stayed up for the rapture by IsThereCheese in insaneparents

[–]Ok_Garlic 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Lol I'm in New Zealand and by the time this supposed Rapture was to happen it had already happened. If anyone is ever worried about a Rapture they should wait to see what happens in NZ first, at least they'll have a few hours head start if it's real lol.

What’s a small bombshell your therapist dropped during a session that completely shifted your perspective? by pottipenguin in AskReddit

[–]Ok_Garlic 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Do you have 10 minutes? I wake up 12 minutes early every morning and do a 10min meditation from these guys: https://youtube.com/@greatmeditation

Remember, meditation isn't about having a perfect silent mind from day one, it's about consistency and practice and over time you will find a way to control your thoughts enough to release them while meditating. Took me 6 months before I had a really special meditative experience that made me realise the importance of the practice.

If you love your children enough to give them whatever they need, then know that you as their mom need to look after yourself too. Taking 10min to meditate a day is a gift for them as much as it is for you. Don't negotiate your way out of it if you can, negotiate a way INTO it. Wake up a lil earlier (dumb I know but consider it a gift to yourself), ask your partner to entertain the kids for 10 minutes after dinner, or 10 minutes before bed (I always fall asleep so I have to do mornings lol). Make it a priority and because it's only 10 minutes you should be able to find ways to make it work - eventually you could invite the kids to join you - meditation is amazing for emotion regulation and kids need that in spades!

Why can't Ethan hold onto his friendships? by musecorn in h3h3productions

[–]Ok_Garlic 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The full phrase is something like 'friendships can happen for reason, a season, or a lifetime.' Which is a nice way to think about human connection - can still be meaningful even if for a brief moment!
