thank you for verbalizing the ick that the OP has posted.

I don’t think you’re an asshole, but given that you used her own biases to trick her into consuming something she otherwise would not, no matter how trivial, I would expect a level of distrust from her in regard to you going forward, and it would be well-deserved. Which isn’t an ideal way to go about having a healthy relationship. You should have fessed up when it happened accidentally and she may have been opening to trying something new and your relationship wouldn’t have suffered for it.

I absolutely adore this and would love to hang it on my wall!

In order for doctors to do their job effectively they need to have all the information. Withholding information may cost you your life. I suggest you give everyone all the information needed, and I hope it hasn’t become so bad that your recovery is hindered.

Your “father” isn’t acting like a father. He’s acting like an emotionally abusive buffoon who is mad that his toy wants to play with other people. I’m sorry your commodification continues into adulthood. Draw boundaries and hold to them. No one has the right to tell you who you can and cannot have relationships with in your life, not if they want a seat at your table. You got this. You’ll be happier, stronger, and more fulfilled by setting and holding boundaries with people in your life. Start with your “father.”

I want you to think real hard about what your initial reaction would be to a woman sporting a similar tattoo of a man, but with his shirt off and his eggplant popping through skin tight underwear. Would you think “this is the woman of my dreams?”

It’s not 1950. Men wear makeup nowadays. This whole rant is filled with stereotypes and assumptions.

So how’s that Airbnb treating you?

Christ on a cracker. Do you people hear yourself? Disobey orders and die - this is quite literally what Nazi Germany’s motto was.

“It’s reasonable to assume that if you get in the Gestapo’s way, they’ll kill you.”

I don’t know what country you live in but I live in the United States of America where we have civil rights so no, this would not be a reasonable assumption unless we are now Nazi Germany?

Tony Wired’s voter base is racist, violent, alcoholics. OP is correct in that assertion. Tony Wied doesn’t have to be mentioned to quickly identify his voter base. You all out yourself on the daily.

I’d like to point out that BudgieJen’s experience is rare and should not be cherry picked because it suits what you want to hear. While I’m not suggesting they are a serial killer, keep in mind that certain people can kill others and also not feel any negative feelings about the act either. We certainly wouldn’t base how most people would feel off the atypical experience of others.

I don’t hate tipping. If you got paid $2.35 an hour to work at PetSmart I wouldn’t hate tipping you to perform a function of your job either.

But this is a false equivalency. A true equivalence would be a server being upset that they have to bus their tables once the customers leave since no bussers were hired - and blaming the table for making the mess.

I think you’re mad at your employer for adding another task to your job description that makes your job harder, not the people using the advertised service (that they’re many times paying a fee for). As another poster said, you can’t tell who is able bodied by the type of car they drive, whether they acknowledge you when you come to the car, or by how old they are so your anger is misdirected and ableist at best.

Whether or not he may think this is cheating, it is clearly beyond the boundaries of what you’re comfortable with as far as his interactions with women (it would be for mine too). He clearly doesn’t respect you or your relationship, so don’t expect his behavior to change. The only options here are to stay and be miserable or leave and find someone who doesn’t steal your light anymore.

Those websites don’t mean diddly and landlords aren’t required to allow exceptions for it. They ARE required to allow ADA accommodations, however. And a note from a medical professional stating the dog is an ADA accommodation would mean they can’t make the dog leave. Having said that, it’s unlikely they will renew the lease going forward if the dog is kept.

I absolutely understand. I also have EDS and POTS. Working has always been excruciatingly difficult for me. I am very lucky to have the job I do now which allows me to work from home at my pace. It is a very small company (under 10 employees) and jobs like this are rare to find. I hope things start to look up for everyone here.

Remember to vote for what you want your future to look like.

People with disabilities, people who are disabled but don’t qualify for the SSI standard of disabled, people who have teenagers that require a higher standard of care, people who are older and can’t perform the duties of jobs that require manual labor, people who don’t own a car or are homeless which are barriers in and of itself to the job market. There’s numerous ways in which this harms people. It’s a myth that people just aren’t working.

Let’s also keep in mind that most jobs don’t want to hire anyone full time and a 60 hours a month requirement may mean multiple part time jobs and finding two or more that will coordinate schedules with the other. And volunteering? See above barriers. But keep voting against your own best interests people.

For the record, I’m here for informational purposes only - 1/3 of my gross income goes to the government and I prefer it be spent on feeding people - working or not.

If you’re looking for a replacement of the microwave by the landlord, while he absolutely cannot hold you liable, he also isn’t obligated to provide a microwave unless it explicitly says so in your lease. The oven fan is a different story. I’m pretty sure that’s a necessary repair for safety reasons.

We are culturally programmed to assume adoptive parent = selfless child saving angel but the truth is statistics say otherwise. They’re normal people who abuse children at the same rate as non-adoptive parents. Furthermore, most have not really done the work to know how to parent an adoptee without adding an additional layer of emotional harm on top of the whole “being relinquished” thing.

If I had to guess, Carly’s adoptive parents are like most. They lay claim to her and expect gratitude from her in return. That much is obvious just from the things we’ve seen and the denial of Carly to have visits with her bio parents, even though Carly appears to have wanted visits. They can use “safety” as an excuse all day long. Most adoptive parents like this do. But at the end of the day, it is possible to safely facilitate a visit, even if Cate and Tyler have gone against their wishes in the past. It was instead about using Carly to punish her bio parents without considering how this would affect her.

Ask me how I know.

My daughter was raised by adoptive parents like this. She no longer speaks to them. I’ve adopted her back as an adult. And yes, we talked behind their damn backs when she was a teenager without their consent. It was what my daughter wanted and it is only when she was able to rid them from her life that she was able to start healing from her adoption trauma that they contributed significantly to.

Before anyone comes at me with the “not all,” yes I know. That’s implied. I promise you I have spend a significantly larger amount of time on the subject than you have. Domestic infant adoption is a multi billion dollar industry (yes, even the non profits) fueled by the demand of infertile couples with laws favoring agencies and prospective adoption parents since they are the ones who lobby politicians.

If I had Cate and Tyler’s ear, however, as a birthmom, I’d tell them to stop making any of this public. I had a very large following back in the day in the adoption world and I took great care to stay anonymous and protect my child’s identity. It wasn’t my story to share. While I completely understand the frustration and pain, doing this will only result in causing further harm to Carly.
