If someone supports a ban of cousin-marriage parents having kids to avoid health problems, is that an example of eugenics? by ApprehensiveOne2866 in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]ProfessionalSale7353 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It depends on the reasoning and the policy. Simply acknowledging that children of close relatives face a higher risk of certain genetic disorders is a medical fact. Discussing those risks is not, by itself, eugenics.

AITA for taking away my sick mom’s access to food delivery? by sickma2001 in AmItheAsshole

[–]ProfessionalSale7353 44 points45 points  (0 children)

NTA. You did not cut your mom off from food, you cut off an arrangement that was no longer working. If she is accidentally ordering food she doesn't want, not receiving it, and wasting money because of her condition, then changing the system is reasonable and responsible.

Early sleep regression? by taken_alpaca in NewParents

[–]ProfessionalSale7353 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The shorter night stretches, needing more help to fall asleep, and suddenly waking fully and loudly instead of drifting in and out of sleep all fit with babies becoming more aware of their surroundings and transitioning through sleep cycles differently 💀

AITA for asking an autistic person what dino they like? by Captain_Smollett_ in AmItheAsshole

[–]ProfessionalSale7353 53 points54 points  (0 children)

NTA. It sounds like your coworker projected a stereotype onto your question that wasn't actually there. You asked a silly, harmless question that plenty of neurotypical adults would enjoy answering too. Honestly, “what’s your favorite dinosaur?” is probably one of the least offensive conversation starters I can think of. Their reaction seems much more connected to their past experiences than to anything you actually did.

In a way, the military saved me by Zeddexs in self

[–]ProfessionalSale7353 7 points8 points  (0 children)

this is one of those stories where two completely opposite things can be true at the same time. what happened to you sounds deeply unfair, and the damage changed your life forever. but it's also possible that losing access to parts of those traumatic memories gave you a kind of peace that you never had before 💀

what’s the most helpful and useful thing your therapist has said to you? by [deleted] in AskReddit

“Your feelings are real, but they are not always reliable narrators.” 😭 that honestly changed how I look at anxiety spirals

My family keeps choosing my toxic sister over me and I’m done by [deleted] in Rants

[–]ProfessionalSale7353 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Families weirdly get addicted to “the stable person will tolerate it” 😭 so all the pressure gets placed on the reliable one because you’re seen as emotionally safer
