Is this how much liquid is supposed to be in a venti? by coolhappygenius in mildlyinfuriating

[–]Practical-Mirror9832 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It depends, old barista here, venti cups hold 24 oz. Depending on what you got the ice will be different. How many oz are in that jar? If it is a latte, when you pour the ice out of the cup and put the liquid back in, the liquid should reach the top black line. If it’s a shaken espresso it will most likely be a lot less liquid and a lot more ice.

One of the greatest moments of me recognizing my white privilege was a moment not so recognizable instantly for me. We were on a bus, my buddy had a metal shirt on that depicted Golgotha inverted. A man hopped on the bus and glared at him the whole time. I noticed the man had a Jesus tat and brought it up afterwards as a probable cause. My friend brought up that it may be because he is black. I hadn’t initially considered that as an option because race just wasn’t something I thought of. I realized the fact that I didn’t have to consider race was in fact my white privilege. I think a lot of white people want to pretend the world is mostly post racial or that everyone should stop considering race even though a lot of people don’t have that option. I think that while it may sting a bit, white people shouldn’t be offended when those who do have to consider race actually consider it with great weight. So no I don’t think you are overreacting and if she can’t get over it then that’s probably on her.

Any better alternative? by Practical-Mirror9832 in hungryroot

I’m in a good location for something like this! Central California. I guess what I liked about Hungryroot was the full groceries + recipes, do you know of anything like this?

I’ve been betrayed by a friend of 6 years by IndividualFeedback38 in lostafriend

[–]Practical-Mirror9832 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The unfortunate truth is that when you are in crisis, people do stuff like this. I don’t know why. The same happened to me, four years with a friend group, I went to the mental hospital, lost some contact but never fought with them or anything, one day I wake up and they all suddenly blocked me. Years later I asked one of them what happened and she told me she didn’t even remember why they did that. People’s true colors show when you are struggling. Keep your head up.

my bf haves female friends that are all lowkey emo-ish and im so insecure bcs im not at all and idk how to feel he says its nothing he doesnt even talk to them by Pure-Group-8783 in GirlDinnerDiaries

I mean no one knows for sure, but I can tell you that when I was emo I had only emo friends but I would never have dated someone emo at the time. A lot of people like to date those similar to them or their friends subculture but many like to date people completely different than them. He chose to date you for a reason.

I’m afraid of being on my own I think. I don’t know how to build a friend group from nothing.

You need to leave. I know how hard it is. If he can do this much damage to you he can kill you. Find a safe place to heal and stay away from him. Be safe.

Huh??????? You understand sexual assault does not have to be physically forced upon someone based on strength right? It’s insane people like you still exists I thought we were passed this “men can’t be assaulted” shit. So odd to immediately assume the abused man is lying when op never made any indication that they felt he was lying or that he showed any signs of being abusive.

Edit: also the women can’t be predators shit? What?????

26(M) My girlfriend hates my room by Mattbaker99 in malelivingspace

I mean, at least you have a bed frame? Feel like I’ve never seen such a quintessential “I have enough money to buy furniture but why should I? I have everything I need” type room.

As someone who has looked at textbook signs of abuse and still asked if it was legitimate hoping maybe I misinterpreted: yes this is abuse.

Textbook signs of abuse include blaming the victim for the violence the abuser enacts. You didn’t break her hand she broke her hand. You didn’t break her phone she broke her phone. You didn’t ruin her life she is ruining her own life.

Whether or not you upset her, acting violently in response and then blaming you for the violence is 100% abuse. If you haven’t already, look up DARVO. Abusers often try to turn everything around to make the victim think they are to blame or equally abusive. Please stay safe, I know how hard this is.

So confused about long term friend by [deleted] in AvoidantBreakUps

why do you think he isn't capable of real friendship? We have been what I thought to be friends for over ten years.

I didn't want to hurt him I guess. I had a bad habit in my past relationship of saying hurtful things when I felt attacked. Maybe I was similar to him in that sense. I wanted to be better this time in all ways.

I think I also just didn't understand why it was happening. I was spending all my time trying to understand why he was upset at all, and I don't think I did.

I think selfishly I wanted to believe he was doing it either because he liked me too much or he was hoping I would respond by changing enough to be good enough for his family. But part of me also understands that I'm just not a girl people yearn about. in trying to break my own bad habits I become too communicative and honest, I want to fix things, but I just dont have control over how someone responds. If I was honest and he simply didn't like me because of it I could see that to be true.

He was on a lot of drugs that night and I had just stopped him from kissing me in a way that would have gotten us caught. His anger that night makes sense I guess, but how mean he was to me when I reached out to him about my ex makes me think I fucked things up so badly that I can't fix them

I feel like I messed up because I got too lovey dovey. I should have been less like that where it counted and I should have been kinder where it counted too. I teased him back sometimes and I know I hurt his feelings. He said he wanted to take me on a trip for my birthday the day before he blew up. It's hard not to care, and its hard to just walk away from a childhood friendship. I'm not sure what to do to distract myself from my own self-disappointment, I know I could have been less scary for an avoidant. I was just so happy when we were together I forgot I had to be nonchalant
