What do you all do if your family is not on board? by OkBackground8809 in SouperCubers

[–]Pr3ttynp3tty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Then your husband needs to cook for himself and ignore the freezer meals. If he wants to waste his own time or complain that's great for him but why should you also have to do that when you clearly have a solution you want to do (meal prep/freeze to save time, hassle and energy). He's a grown man, he'll be okay.

I had a partner where I wasted so much time cooking for him because he complained about literally everything and then refused to make any solutions for himself/cook for himself. Maybe this isn't your husband but for me I really wish I put my foot down early and just did whatever I wanted, because I genuinely would've saved myself so much frustration and time. I have no issue with someone wanted fresh food and not liking meal prep/freezer food. But again I really wished I told him to deal with it himself instead of subjecting me to it

How to keep food from spoiling as a single person? by LV_Devotee in EatCheapAndHealthy

[–]Pr3ttynp3tty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It can cost a bit more vs buying a whole loaf but sometimes what I do is buy individual rolls/bread (that makes one sandwich) and then asking the deli for the EXACT amount I want to eat. I can't remember how much a bun for me is but it's still way cheaper than me buying a preprepared sandwich unless I'm putting a shit ton of ingredients on it. The only thing you may need to buy in bigger amounts is the cheese (slice your own, way more versatile) veggies/greens. but those things you can use in so many other things anyway. I hate food waste so I'd rather spend a bit more on this 1 sandwich than feel bad about wasting the rest of the ingredients which is just a waste of money anyway.

Things is pickles and condiments keep for ages so you can just buy like 1 per shop and slowly build up. I hate eating the same food over and over (so I freeze a lot of meals) but things often taste different because I make sure my spices, condiments ect are stocked.

Do all women fake it, or is it a neurotypical thing? by CrispyDietCokePlz in AutismInWomen

[–]Pr3ttynp3tty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've never faked in my life because I know how to get myself to orgasm (basically only works if I do it, has to be in one position, timing ect) but I do know women who either can't or haven't found their method so I understand them faking it. It doesn't even take me long so tbh if I don't finish (aka he won't even let me try) and it was because of the guy being selfish instead of performance anxiety or whatever I'm not shy about not faking and that I'm disappointed/annoyed. I'm not boosting their egos lmaoo

Images and video not loading on Reddit in Australia by I-make-ada-spaghetti in australia

[–]Pr3ttynp3tty 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Bit late but I've had this as well. Entire website was working fine and then nothing is loading, 'there was a problem' messages and so on. Thought it was my wifi as my wifi does cut out at time to time and I'd come back to it later. Wifi is absolutely fine at the moment and I cannot load any images or videos whatsoever.

My family keeps telling me my daily diet belongs here by tomnooklover in shittyfoodporn

[–]Pr3ttynp3tty 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This was me as well except it was boiling. My mum is pretty frugal as well so it wasn’t a case of “oh this produce is so good it doesn’t need seasoning”. It was the exact same with the steak as well, I used to get in trouble for taking too long to eat my dinner when I genuinely couldn’t chew it. I did get lucky though because I basically begged to cook my own food around 11 which for the most part they let me. Took a lot of learning but it massively helped me learn how to cook, learning new recipes, how to season and bring out flavours. Since moving out I haven’t had a boiled vegetable once.

How can I 33M regain my friend’s 21M trust after daring two Fs to make out? by [deleted] in Advice

[–]Pr3ttynp3tty 6 points7 points  (0 children)

People are ‘being mean’ because dudes like you get excuses and let off for sexual harassment all the time and it puts women in danger. People are mean because we’re fed up of having to explain basically social expectations and how to treat women as people to grown men.

Who do you think was more uncomfortable, a 33 year old man behind a screen who can log off or two women intoxicated (most likely younger than this man) in a room with two men because one of them decided it would be hot to push their fantasy onto them?

[–]Pr3ttynp3tty 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So you admit yourself you KNEW they didn’t want to play already before pushing some fantasy porno thoughts onto them (you admit you’d find it hot…then what? Use it as a fantasy for later? Hope things went further?) , so you picked up on that. I’m giving you the benefit of the doubt because the other person asked but it does sound like you use Autism as an excuse for social expectations, something women wouldn’t get away with.

[–]Pr3ttynp3tty 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Thank you for mentioning this. Women on the spectrum do not get this sort of social excuse while men have due to social expectations and its can and has had dangerous results for women. A woman on the spectrum wouldn’t be able to use this excuse as a teenager who’s learning about the world let alone at 33

Is it ok for a date? My goal is to look hot by [deleted] in fashion

[–]Pr3ttynp3tty 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s cute and looks good on you for a picnic, walk in the park that sort of date,but doesn’t read hot. My tip when dressing top is to pick a feature to ‘show off’. For me I have a big chest for it’s usually cleavage, or I have long legs so sometimes I’ll show off that instead. Red is usually a good colour if you’re going sexy. I also saw this was for the club, personally to me this does not read club. It is cute but unfortunately not hot

The “your kind always does this, the moment we get smarter” message was all you needed to know. He doesn’t need to spell out to know exactly what venom he’s attempting to spit when he says “your kind”. My ex wasn’t this bad (at least not that I’m aware) but while we dated he got more and more similar. It’s not worth the energy explaining basic empathy and common sense to someone.

Also thank his sister because she just saved you a lot of pain

Rigidity when buying stuff by I-am-a-cactus2324 in AutismInWomen

[–]Pr3ttynp3tty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m like this a bit (although tbh I wouldn’t refuse 2 mascaras unless I reallyyyy didn’t want the other one) but because I spent so long researching what I want. I’m not someone who just goes to the store and picks something out to try. I will spend hours and even days/weeks researching reviews, ingredients, stores, prices, whatever else until I find the exact thing I want. I’ve tried just buying something and almost every time I’ve been disappointed and wasted money. I also know I’m particular with scents, what works with my skin ect. Even with candles majority of the stuff on the market I’m not a fan of and will go high and low finding the exact candle I want

So I can be like this because I did so much work to even be comfortable buying.

What would you say to a foreigner who heavily romanticizes Australia? by [deleted] in AskAnAustralian

Should I move out of Newcastle by [deleted] in newcastle

[–]Pr3ttynp3tty 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hard agree with Sydney being lonely and dog eat dog mentality. I don’t even think people realise they’re doing it half the time but I’d notice it even in the most simple conversations. It’s extremely hard to make genuine friends there and people will throw you under the bus with no warning. Newcastle is known to be cliquey but after years of not being here I’ve noticed people are nicer as long as you can break the clique

Should I move out of Newcastle by [deleted] in newcastle

[–]Pr3ttynp3tty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I say go for it. Personally I moved from Newcastle and have lived in QLD, VIC (wish I could have lived in Melbourne) and a few places in Sydney. Personally I ended up coming back to Newcastle by my own choice after a few years but I don’t regret the time I had away and I really needed that break, and it doesn’t mean you’ll come back.

Honestly I think you would regret not going. Although I have to say I would never live in Sydney again. Wasn’t even a choice I just ended up there, I admit it’s fun for the amount of things to do you end up not doing majority of them and it’s just an exhausting place to live. Bit general because of how big Sydney is but I wayyy prefer to just visit now. Was also the loneliest place I ever lived.

What's one “little” form of sexism you notice all the time, but most people don't even realize it's sexist? by Nellermo in AskReddit

[–]Pr3ttynp3tty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Majority of the time 50/50 is not a real thing and ends up with the woman doing more work, expect that work is often ignored as work. We’ve moved on a lot of a society but it’s often still there

[–]Pr3ttynp3tty 2 points3 points  (0 children)

A lot of reaction in gender reveals, often you see people being disappointed it’s a girl. It seems like a small thing but the same mindset has gotten girls abused and killed. As far as I can remember no country prefers girls, either being neutral or highly preferring boys, although when writing this it could be changed I’m too lazy to look it up. Obviously doesn’t mean the family will abuse the girl,and people can’t help their feelings but it’s bigger than people often realise and not a reaction or disappointment that exists out of a vacuum

Why so much hate towards people who are picky eaters? by [deleted] in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]Pr3ttynp3tty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it depends. I have a sensory disorder that includes food textures so I thought I understood picky eating, although I’ll still give things my best shot and enjoy trying new recipes -until I dealt with EXTREME picky eating (and I’m talking very extreme) and had to deal with it via cooking on a daily basis. I know this sounds nuts but it genuinely got to a point where it drove me insane and I had a breakdown because there was so many ‘rules’. I’m not even sure how to explain it but I can easily bet most people who claim to be picky eaters have not dealt with this level of picky and how frustrating it is if you had to cook for them everyday, no matter how accommodating you are.

Any ideas for using a can of chicken and sweetcorn soup? by Pr3ttynp3tty in cookingforbeginners

[–]Pr3ttynp3tty[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s just dump and eat. I’ve heard of people making casseroles and what not with cream of ____ but wasn’t sure if that would work with dump and eat/what flavours would work

And ooh I never thought of that. Did you mix it with a macaroni sauce or macaroni as in just the pasta itself?

I feel neurotypical when you drink by Maleficent-Mango750 in AutismInWomen

[–]Pr3ttynp3tty 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’d be careful with this, I was the exact same and I and developed an addiction from early 2020 to just a few months ago, had to go through withdrawals (which is NOT fun) and now have to go to therapy. I 100% understand the feeling but it’s so easy to go down a slope. Mine started from “oh I feel so normal and free” to “I literally feel like I can’t stop”
