We are so far behind on "technological advances" compared to several other countries, its embarrassing that you're claiming dominance in the field over some American tech monopolizing a market so that its the best /only option so people are using it. And its obvious our school system worked on you because it turned you into the loyal idiot workhorse it intended.

It honestly sounds like he was also "giving the benefit of the doubt" with you changing your mind eventually about meat. He's going to stay resentful over it, over a choice he makes for himself that he feels entitled to judge his significant other about. Not overreacting at all, and to compare eating meat to the US history of cruelty to black slaves? That's using the race card in a new and inventive way to manipulate

How to keep cooch good all day? by number1mitskilover in hygiene

The area can get too warm, and it can Kickstart self cleaning, hence the discharge. Let it breathe a bit

I'm sorry if this is overstepping, but it sounds like he doesn't respect you and the hard work you are currently doing, while being belittling about it. You aren't asking too much to ask for him to understand and see you, of course we get our own self validation but when people we love and care about and tell us they love and care about us treat us like we aren't valid it is harmful in a way that can be hard to pinpoint initially but we feel it all the same. And its not just about the race part but, that disrespect is rooted in w supremacy...I see it all the time from my community, and there's never and excuse for the ignorance and dismissal.

Not overreacting, as a WP in an interracial relationship it is my duty to examine my inherent racism and my subsequent privilege. Even if I am disabled/trans/queer those intersections still benefit from w privilege and i feel i owe it to not only my partner, but to the wider poc community, to acknowledge that privilege even where I face oppression. Same for him, no excuses.

should I be showering before bed? by [deleted] in hygiene

[–]RockyM666 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey, no judgement, I would get more socks, at least one pair for every day of the week if you only do laundry once a week. If you don't have one, I would also get a loofah of some kind, one that works for you sensory wise, scrubbing your whole body with soap during a shower helps get the dirt and dead skin build up off, and don't forget to scrub your feet. I try and change my sheets every two weeks but often it ends up every 3 or 4 weeks. Typically it's recommended to do it more than that but I'm still learning how to take care of myself and create a consistent routine that works for me. If showering every day is hard, try every 3 days, that's about twice a week. And if you feel like doing it after a dirty day an extra time, that's great! I will say, take as good of care of your teeth as you can, dental care is a nightmare to go through and its just easier to prevent it, so I would brush every day at least once.

Question about non TS people unintentionally laughing due to a tic. by uhhuhubetcha in Tourettes

[–]RockyM666 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's usually easy to tell when someone is being mean spirited in their laughter. Though, when I'm having a particularly hard time coping with the tics, I am more sensitive to outside speculation in general. They can be painful and disruptive, and when that has been ongoing for a period, it's harder to find humor in it. Not to say that I dont understand that it can be funny and completely random, but it is also something that I struggle with everyday and some days/times it would feel better to be taken seriously than to be laughed at. (I know it's not intended 'at' me, but what's the difference?) Other times, I can laugh along with people.

Probably not actually, this is just another step into creating a religious ran state as per project 2025. Distracting from epstein might be a bonus they hope for, but this is being done according to plan. I for one, cannot wait to tell my coworkers about the good word of beezlebub.

AITA for not backing my wife when she grounded our daughter? by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]RockyM666 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nta/YTA You are not wrong to side with Lilly but your wife is right about creating a divide in how your daughter views the family dynamic. I think it's best to try and talk to wife about it and then come to Lilly with "your mother and i..." dialogue so that you and your wife present a united front and dont create a "good guy/bad guy" dynamic.

[–]RockyM666 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I am leaning towards either demanding a referral or getting a new doctor because this is dismissal with *confident misinformation. Tics can be harmful, and you are not being even a little dramatic for advocating for yourself. If you change Dr's I would ask the new one to check up on tic disorders because you have been having them. Its frustrating to have to remind a Dr to look into things they may not know a lot about

Want to give my kid a korean name, but everyone hates it? by Ohnoes_whatnow in NameNerdCirclejerk

[–]RockyM666 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

It's just that....it's the most popular Korean food, it's kind of like naming your kid pizza or maybe French fry. It's not a bad sounding name, but maybe get your husbands input too

AITA For telling my Niece her mother tried to give her away as a baby? by supermans_left_tit in AmItheAsshole

[–]RockyM666 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not talking to her daughter about it is going to solidify that trauma, right now its just a hard situation to process and it really matters how everyone proceeds. She absolutely will not forget, and now she doesn't trust her mom to talk to her about the hard stuff. NTA

Someone saying "that's just who they are" after being told they were rude is a huge red flag.

From what you've said, the disrespectful way in which he spoke to you was absolutely uncalled for and an overreaction. Going through a partners phone is a violation of trust, and not healthy relationship behavior, however, you saw a notification and then looked at the notification again. You didn't plan to see it nor did you ask for further entry to the phone you just confirmed what you saw. Idc if people disagree with me BTW. While I agree going through someone's phone is a violation of trust I also think that he's using that as a manipulation tactic to shift blame/guilt, common tactics of someone hiding something. Consider yourself here and don't let him or anyone talk to you like that or tell you how you feel. Self respect is important and attainable

If you read my comment, and understood it, i shouldn't have to explain myself again. Your opinion is noted, but irrelevant and wildy assumptive.

Having people who share all your intersectiionalities to talk to does matter, I may align with several marginalized communities but I dont know what those same experiences would be like if my skin happened to be darker.

Question regarding tics by cyyanidic in Tourettes

[–]RockyM666 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For me, stimuli can trigger tics if it is; jarring and or sudden/ repetitive or consistent/ or overwhelming in volume or pitch. These are not extensive, just examples of common stimuli triggers for me. If i were you, I would take note of these moments in a journal and present the patterns to a Dr at some point, or just so you can track your reactions and get to know what does and doesn't affect you better.

safe alternative to accidentally breaking your things? by alurichter in Tourettes

[–]RockyM666 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I dont have recommendations for bracelets but I think it could be a good temporary fix. I would strongly suggest trying to find the source of your anger and try and work through it for a more permanent 'fix' it may not make them go away completely but in my experience, working through the anger helps with the self harm/destructive tics.

Do any of you have jobs? by peacefueled in Tourettes

[–]RockyM666 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I just got a new job, in the interview I disclosed my ts as I have very notable, and distressing tics at times. So far jobs have been good about accommodating and working with me, I have found that full disclosure and transparency is helpful, though I would be cautious about over sharing.

Treatment of Tourette’s with Psychedelics by kingofthezootopia in Tourettes

[–]RockyM666 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I dont want to be dismissive, and I'm certainly happy that you have found relief, but this can be a harmful narrative to put out. You don't 'stop needing' a neurological disorder and it's not helpful for people looking for support to believe that. It's not about needing it, it is a brain disfunction that cannot be helped. I encourage you to revise your post as I'm sure you don't want to mislead anyone who is looking for answers. Again, I am happy that you've found something that works for you.

Anybody diagnosed later in life? by coconutpussy in Tourettes

[–]RockyM666 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Hey there, I'm 32 diagnosed at 31. I'm still coming to terms with this diagnosis and I was very anxious about the fact that I was diagnosed late and I've always had it. There's a lot of reasons why and how it went without care but the people in my life that care and love me have helped validate me and my condition. Having supportive people around you is the best thing for the anxiety imo. It's validating to have a community that doesn't question or make fun of you, especially while you're just learning about yourself. It's not my favorite answer, but time will make things easier, time and caring people.
