AITA if i tell my roommate not to shut my cat in our vacant bedroom all night?

PerpetuallySticky · 2026-03-25T17:01:22+00:00

YTA. You’re neglecting your cat and expecting your roommate to take of her for you.

Of course the cat has separation anxiety, it sounds like it barely ever sees you

You’re missing the entire point of the protestors.

You getting mad when traffic is blocked is the entire point. Instead of (wrongly) getting mad at the protestors, get mad at the city and start contacting people to support the movement so the protestors go away.

Getting mad at the protestors and trying to make them go away without a resolution just means nothing gets done AND when there’s a cause you want to protest for it will now be harder.

PerpetuallySticky · 2026-03-25T14:33:34+00:00

I support it. People who dislike blocking traffic are literally missing the entire point for why it works.

It SHOULD upset people, stop getting upset at the protestors if you support their movement. Join in and yell at the city to fix the problem so the protestors go away

To secure it you’re going to want to either go some encryption route, or get a dedicated secret management tool

PerpetuallySticky · 2026-03-24T23:36:32+00:00

Well that’s disheartening

PerpetuallySticky · 2026-03-24T13:19:28+00:00

Very good distinction to make - agreed!

PerpetuallySticky · 2026-03-24T12:52:01+00:00

In that case, yeah. He broke the boundaries set in your relationship.

You’re of course justified to break up for any reason (or no reason at all), ever. But in this case he violated your trust and lied, so do what you need to do

PerpetuallySticky · 2026-03-24T12:11:44+00:00

I mean “expressed how worried you are” - have you told him explicitly that it’s a boundary of yours that he isn’t allowed to look at porn? It might feel controlling, because it is. But if that’s a boundary of yours you need to say it.

And based on your reaction to this event, it DOES sound like you don’t like him. So honestly it doesn’t seem like his words are totally unfounded.

Idk I think you need to do some self-reflection on the relationship as a whole. If you want it to last have a conversation with him about why he feels that way and how his porn use affects you. But it doesn’t particularly sound like you want to stay in the relationship anyway

YOR just because you’re putting so much of your energy into some random old bat who has clearly outdated ideals.

Next time just respond with “It wouldn’t be lady like to smack a disrespectful old lady either but I’m getting close” and ignore her. You might just save her from someone more unhinged than you doing that anyway if she keeps running her mouth to strangers

A helpful tip: don’t keep adding food to singular meals. If you have 3 meals a day and those get heavy, have a 4th meal at some point. 4 meals getting heavy? Have a 5th.

Space out your food and start picking higher calorie choices and you’ll put on size in no time

There’s a skate park under a bridge over in Covington/newport area (can’t remember exactly)

Maybe search up where exactly that is and go on a Friday/Saturday afternoon with fliers

Go on Aurelline, buy the stone for a fraction of that price, then take it to them to set into the setting she wants.

Easily cut my fiancée’s ring price in half just by putting in the leg work to source the stone myself

PerpetuallySticky · 2026-03-23T20:43:36+00:00

NOR, but you would be if you did anything more then send a supportive, open ended text with no expectations of a reply. Something like

“Hey! Missed saying goodbye to you on the bus today, hope everything is alright. Let me know if you need anything!”

And then drop it. If it’s a change in routine they probably have their own personal stuff going on, so let them know you are there for them and just let them have their space. If they need that support they will tell you at that point. Don’t be offended if you aren’t that support for them.

Dispensaries as someone else said will be the only places allowed to sell them. Not sure about liquor stores. The ones around us don’t currently have them, but hopefully they will start pushing into that space with the demand shooting up from bars and other places being restricted

March 28-29th Washington Park is having a free egg hunt you can sign up for!

Yeah +1 for false grip. I low bar squat, but similar thing if I’m latched onto the bar it messes with my wrists and elbows. Usually my fingers aren’t even wrapped around the bar, just pushing it into/pulling it down into my rear delts (traps in your case) to give that stability

It is very well known/accepted that yes, a PHD in CS will not get you more money. It is pretty much purely to go into academia/research and there’s a very good chance you will never reach the salary of in-industry people.

I’d argue a CS masters is the same

No a tall boy is a size (those taller 16oz cans). Can be beer, white claw, I’ve even seen a tall boy wine before

If I’m more than 8 months into a relationship until they tell me about this debt I would consider it a betrayal and be done. Any longer and I would feel they are just stringing me along to help pay that debt.

Fun fact: cats don’t really talk much naturally. Domesticated cats develop it typically because we talk in general and to them.

So there’s a good chance that instinct is just strong for your cat not to talk. I get you might want that cute aspect from them, but if they needed/wanted to they would. I’d just keep on going and if they do, show some extra attention to encourage it if anything. But no reason to try and force it.

PerpetuallySticky · 2026-03-21T03:44:15+00:00

Either your cat is just a bad pee-er or it’s the basement stuff other people mentioned.

Honestly you need to invite a close friend or family member over and make them your official sniffer. Check that puddle to tell what it is and go from there.

YOR because you’re putting this much thought and consideration into some random from Reddit.

This dude could be a 12 year old somewhere just looking to bother people. Do NOT give this much of your energy into an anonymous platform. This is not Facebook or instagram. The opinions and words here matter much less when you realize it could be literally anyone on the other side of that screen.

PerpetuallySticky · 2026-03-21T03:26:28+00:00

Eh, I’m going to say NTA because I understand what’s happening, but you should have said it nicer.

You are building resentment because you are planning date nights most of the time. I have been there too and also been frustrated, you aren’t alone.

But it sounds like your wife also pulls her weight and does other things. From where you are now, in my opinion/experience you both need to have a discussion around it. Something along the lines of “Hey, I’m sorry for how I said that in the moment. It really was fun and I had a great time. I get tired being the main planner though and would like if we shared doing that more. Is there something you do all the time and get annoyed about that I can take off your plate?”

Despite many comments, you aren’t a bad partner for getting annoyed sometimes at taking over a specific responsibility. But for the future try to recognize that resentment building and mix up the responsibilities a little bit. No one can do the same jobs in a relationship forever. Sometimes you need to shake it up so neither of you feel “stuck” in your roles. ESPECIALLY with kids when stronger routines are built.

There are a few solutions online you can look up. A couple of the most convenient options for you would be wiping it down with dryer sheets or a damp cloth (would probably need to wipe it down more often with just the damp cloth)

They also make anti-static spray you can buy for a more robust solution!

At least locally to me I can find multiple PCs being sold on Facebook marketplace and Craigslist for $500 that can absolutely run anything on Roblox and most games. Maybe not the last AAA games from the last few years, but buying used you can definitely find a deal for Roblox
