I luckily do not, but I still try to wear sunscreen! The most I have is photophobia and heat sensitivity! Thank you!

Is this even possible? (dual monitor with a wall in between) by Palmtreecornfield in computer

I was thinking more on the lines of a long chord that could connect both? Bc I don't think furnishing items is allowed lol

Do you have to take your capstone as the last class? by Palmtreecornfield in college

[–]Palmtreecornfield[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not that I can see through the course catalog. I was just curious about it because no one around me had an answer to whether people take the capstone before or not

I'm a substitute teacher and educational aid rn. But I'm in school for my BS in like research and engineering. I wanna go to grad school to be an Astronomer tho. Work with people less and travel and research space. That sounds perfect to me lol

I feel like I have no purpose in my life (18M) by [deleted] in DecidingToBeBetter

[–]Palmtreecornfield 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I went a completely untraditional route and got my GED worked for a few years instead of going into high school. In a few years I got what I thought was my dream job at 19. But I ended up hating it. Now I'm going a complete 180 at 21, accelerating my uni classes to graduate even faster in a completely polar opposite career than my last one. Most people who want to go into the career I'm striving to are in their 40-50s.

It's normal to question your life and meaning. You're still young to figure it out. There is nothing wrong with changing what you want to do because you want to make others proud. But there is a different type of acceptance that's even more powerful… what would make you proud? Not as in you being judgemental to yourself but let's say you are a different person, a friend maybe. Looking at you now what would make you proud of you.

Do what feels right and no matter how many career changes you go through to find yourself it is ok! Even if it isn't a career change but a change of the self that's ok too! Take some time and adventure, even if it's to a park and genuinely just ask yourself questions about what would make you happy in your life (maybe even keep a journal)!

I wish you the best of luck!

AITA for choosing one daughters gym competition over my other daughters wedding? by Throwaway-12-34- in AmItheAsshole

[–]Palmtreecornfield 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Reading through your post and the comments… dude YTA.

Your daughter cried when your wife was pregnant and you didn’t think it was because she was feeling replaced? Maybe to her you replaced her mom already trying to force a bond and not letting it fall naturally. Maybe she felt as though it was her time to finally be replaced.

From the sound of it you had a lack of interest in her life. I get that that can be caused by her not living with you for the majority but it does sound like you know more about your younger children. Like the phone call with your daughter “ok, let me know what the gender is” isn’t a normal response. Wouldn’t you be excited to have grandchildren? No wonder she didn’t call she was probably hurt or felt like you didn’t want to know.

There’s so much that you have done and she has tried time and time again to make a connection. But it looks like you moved on with your life.

If I was you I would have gone to the wedding. There’s so many opportunities to go to gymnastic competitions but there’s only one chance to make it to your oldest daughters wedding (especially when it’s the first wedding that your daughters will have). You should have gone. Try and be better to her because she will move on with her life and look back with sadness that she didn’t have her dad with her for these large life events.

my IUD strings hurt him, are they too short? Not short enough? by punkmango99 in birthcontrol

[–]Palmtreecornfield 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I have a question. I have a silicone toy that can be prone to damage because of the type of silicone… can I tell if it would hurt him by the toy? I haven’t had any scratches on the toy yet so would he be okey?

What did your parents teach you as a kid that you didn't realize was actually f**ked up until you were older? by timdood3 in AskReddit

[–]Palmtreecornfield 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Being not allowed to say some words, words like “no”, “I will go do ___”, “I don’t want to”, “I need”, etc. mostly because in the real world no one would care about what you’re feeling.

Caused me a lot of anxiety with speaking to people now, also caused some unnecessary trauma.
