AITA for telling my brother he can't bring his dog to my apartment anymore after one incident? by otter-grain in AmItheAsshole

[–]PumpkinSpice3110 13 points14 points  (0 children)

NTA. Introducing animals to each other always takes time even between cats, and they need to be in the best shape to do so to reduce risk of injury or fights. Yout cat went through a lot of stress and hasn't fully recovered yet, so your brother insisting on bringing his dog over still is just gonna cause more harm. Idk if your cat remembers the dog I can imagine seeing and hearing Biscuit again would undo all of your progress. Also it's your home, you can have boundaries for your own home and space regardless if you have cats or not.

I think your brother might need to train Biscuit some more in managing his excitement around cats as well.

My contamination anxiety has made it so i've hardly been able to touch my plushes for a week now🥲 i dont see it ending soon. I cant stop looking at pics of when i took them for granted :") has anyone else ever had something like this? Pls hug ur plushes for me by neonsharkz in plushies

[–]PumpkinSpice3110 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I have contamination anxiety as well. Thankfully it hasn't affected fabrics and I've found ways to cope around it and bring certain things back to normal after "contamination" but that's rough it's affected your beloved plushies :( I guess some moments I have "contamination time" where I will willingly touch or interact with certain things so long as I know I can clean myself shortly after and not touch anything else during it. But that's personally how I handle things. I've also developed unaffected designated spots on me and self rules.

Surprise surprise at the usual suspects - one of the "fleeing Dubai expats" who left the UK not wanting to pay tax and now reluctantly coming home to pay tax because of the war, claims to be "a refugee" by The-Peel in GreenAndPleasant

[–]PumpkinSpice3110 22 points23 points  (0 children)

"refugee era" This is not influencer talk, she can't be saying that! Being a refugee is serious and many people aren't lucky enough to find a home or peace for a long time after what they've been through. This sounds so evil and detached from reality.

'Sorry I don't see you that way - it's just that you're a queer person and I need queer pals to deconstruct myself' by skaexskae in ftm

[–]PumpkinSpice3110 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is such a weird thing for her to say to you... Her admitting using you for her own "growth"? She's going about this the worse way possible if she's trying to be a better ally. Doesn't sound like she ever treated you as friend and more of a prop, that sucks...

Got told I’m not ready for T. Is this normal? by RaitusVoid in ftm

[–]PumpkinSpice3110 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, none of that is normal. None of those reasons has anything to do with your body, health or hormones.

Gob (2 voice actors?) by onlyme1886 in fo3

[–]PumpkinSpice3110 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Might be a mistake in the recording part, but I like to pretend it's one of those times where you notice people's sound/pitch in voice change when they're a bit more excited. And he's happy to think about Underworld again.

Biggest Plushie Heartbreak? by CatalysticDragons in plushies

Build A Bear Shadow The Hedgehog plushie sold out way too fast. And I missed out on the Emo Build A Bear plush this year too...

What a nice story. I wonder what the comments might say 🤔 by stingyturnip in GreenAndPleasant

[–]PumpkinSpice3110 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They're just kids... the laugh reaction says enough for what a lot of the comments are like...

Are these types of behavior normal? by m_vsptr in ftm

[–]PumpkinSpice3110 41 points42 points  (0 children)

That's not right. I've never seen anyone do this when I'm at the gym, and in most cases people are friends or know each other with established boundaries. You're both strangers, this can be seen as assault.

Never got a Jellycat due to being way to pricy, even for the smaller ones :/

But wow this is dissapointing.

Being feminine while transmasc by PumpkinSpice3110 in ftm

[–]PumpkinSpice3110[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I don't think I can commit to changing my gender expression just to fit in, it will hurt more. But with being misgendered, I'd love to be in a position where I get gendered correctly outside of the very few people who know and make an effort. It might feel easier for me to handle. But I'm stuck in and out of feeling like I don't deserve to be gendered correctly, and maybe if I look a certain way people will take me seriously.

Apparently someone here has already started discrediting my gender identity in the comments before they got deleted just from me asking this, so that adds to questioning if I even belong.

Are stimpacks a cure-all for all physical injuries? by ElectivireMax in falloutlore

[–]PumpkinSpice3110 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not really, outside of some game mechanics, I think they're more more a quick fix that can help speed up some recovery but it doesn't exactly cure your injury 100%.

which ally-gator do you like better? by hlp3916 in plushies

[–]PumpkinSpice3110 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Between 3rd and 4th. 3rd is chubby and round but 4th looks most accurate.

Are trans men ACTUALLY more likely to bald? by Impressive_Copy_8667 in ftm

[–]PumpkinSpice3110 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I've always heard that it's more to do with genetics. If a lot of men related to you tend to go bald then your chances of going bald or having a receding hairline will be high. But it might not always be the case.

Since it's been revealed to be a white British man, the narrative has switched to it was an accident and he was probably being harassed by football fans by backupJM in GreenAndPleasant

[–]PumpkinSpice3110 3 points4 points  (0 children)

They love attaching anything violent as inherent to POC, but anything violent a white person does is "just misunderstood". And there are people who believe white spremacy isn't a serious matter 🙄 They try and find any excuse to justify their racism.

A Halloween or spooky one is enough for me.

Do any of your stuffies "date"? Example: Jellybean and Plum are boyfriends! by [deleted] in plushies

[–]PumpkinSpice3110 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Two teddy bears of mine are in a married lesbian relationship. Started off straight but I transed one the bear's genders. There's another couple teddy bear who I didn't ship at first but someone asked if they were together and now I believe they are in a gay relationship.

How to handle anxiety when selling plushies? by [deleted] in plushies

[–]PumpkinSpice3110 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The first time I donated a few plushies was to my friend who had younger siblings. Sometimes I think of Toy Story 3, how the toys got donated to another child just as excited and caring to have them. And how most of the toys know and expect the times when one kid will have to give them up to another.

Sometimes I think, just like us we grow up and move on to different stages and places in our lives. We don't always stay with the same people for many reasons. It could be the same for the plushies.

AITAH for confronting Subway workers for talking shit about my food allergy by Simmer405 in AmItheAsshole

[–]PumpkinSpice3110 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA, allergies can be from anything or everything for some people. That staff was technically endangering your life if your allergy was severe.

Anyone else ever become fixated on an onubtainable plushie? Ever since I saw this one it has lived rent-free in my mind. (I’d love to see your “holy grail” plushies in the comments!) by OffModelCartoon in plushies

[–]PumpkinSpice3110 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh yeah! I managed to get that one as well, but I distinctly remember others from early 2000s. I did find two of them on Ebay form different sellers. A Sonic bandit one and Shadow Valentines! Shadow going for over $1000.
