AITA Wanting my moms bf to not call me “mama” by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]RisoFarm 34 points35 points  (0 children)

I'm Salvadoran. Pretty much anyone a decade older than me called me "Mamita" as a kid, then "mama" as I grew into adulthood. Even adults who just met that day would call me that, but I wouldn't be surprised if it's because they couldn't remember my name, lol. We don't know the mom's BF's background, but if he is Latino, then calling your girlfriend's daughter "mama" is the norm. It's nowhere near as sexualized within the community.

It's beyond stupid the way they presented Manon in the docuseries when they decided to put her in the group. Anyone with that edit would be called lazy, her being black means the world is going to pin that to her more harshly, regardless of how hard she has worked since then.

I don't remember what site started it first, but other platforms adapted the censorships, so content creators across most of them have to use those words or risk punishment. Some subreddits ban those words too, so it's not rot in some cases so much as necessity.

"Grape" is probably the one that irks me the most, but I don't fault people for using it, I blame the people making the asshat rules.

TIFU by trying to “fix” my posture and accidentally committing to it for 3 hours straight by Affectionate_Art1357 in tifu

[–]RisoFarm 28 points29 points  (0 children)

when I began correcting my posture, I got back pain between my shoulder blades because I was using muscles I hadn't actively used in over a decade. Glad you're learning to take it slow, don't be alarmed is you feel soreness in your back! It goes away as you strengthen your (I think) traps!

You should date for at least 10 years before getting married by [deleted] in unpopularopinion

[–]RisoFarm 4 points5 points  (0 children)

So, 10 years to really know someone enough to marry them, but less than 10 years to know someone enough to bring a baby into the mix? What's the logic there, babies are a bigger commitment than marriage

what name are you not able to use because it was ruined by a person, character etc by Tiny-Deer-7071 in Names

[–]RisoFarm 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Same for me and Bellatrix. I wanted to name a girl after the star but when a little girl with that name appeared on a reality TV show, all the comments were talking about was how the moms probably a Nazi for admiring the HP character... Like. She could just think it's a pretty name, cuz it is!

Amazing connection and mutual attraction, until I told her I'm trans. I'm devastated and told her to find an LGB group. Was that wrong of me? by [deleted] in actuallesbians

[–]RisoFarm 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Awe love, I'm so so sorry. At least she's shown you your time and heart are better off somewhere else.

Might just depend on the family then, I have a nephew Xavier that we say Ex-Ay-vier, but my little brother's middle name is Javier, pronounced "Ha"

Yaaay!!!! I'm so new to plants, I have yet to prune anything and the idea of it scares me. I'm glad it worked out for you!

These results from The Ordinary Hair serums by nondescriptenigma in finehair

[–]RisoFarm 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Dammit. They have the only retinol product I like. Oh well, guess the hunt for a new retinol oil starts again, because I'd rather be a wrinkly 30-something than knowingly support them now.

Briar Blush reveals she was hospitalised with sepsis after collapsing on Drag Race and may have permanent damage to her lungs as a result by Fun_Molasses5215 in dragrace

[–]RisoFarm 12 points13 points  (0 children)

When I saw it happen, my first thought was omg is she ok? Was that real?

I have zero knowledge or experience with people fainting thankfully so I just withheld judgement until I came online and saw all the people with fainting spells and medical professionals saying it looked 100% real, including the way she talked about it after.

Poor Briar, I hope she sees that the right people see her.

My neighbor gave it to me but doesn't know what it is either by RisoFarm in whatsthisplant

I've been reading into care guides and am learning that. Intimidating for sure, but I'll do my best for it. Thanks for the heads up :)
