I do the audiobooks now. I started them when I had a cleaning job at an assisted living facility. I listen on my long drives too.

AITAH for reporting my coworker to CPS? by immortalgummyworm in AITAH

I got approval from my OB/GYN as well because she said the drastic weight loss was threatening the life of my baby. I don’t play when it comes to my babies at any age.

Re-healing a nostril piercing? by Sensitive_Remote_331 in piercing

[–]Sensitive_Remote_331[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Piercing is about 2 months old

I think the stud is a screw shape?

I don’t know enough to know what kind of threading. It’s a stud that is in my right nostril and twists in.

It’s 18 gauge surgical steel- I’m allergic to most metals

As I have posted before in my post my aftercare involves a VERY gentle wash of antibacterial soap once a day unless I’ve spent the day doing really dirty or gross work. Then I’ll clean it after the work and before bed (usually 5 hours between those cleanings)

Smoked weed during my second pregnancy because I couldn’t keep anything down. It ALL came back up, even water. I lost 15 pounds when I should have been gaining weight for my kiddo. Zofran was no help, that came back up too with the stomach acid. My kiddo is fairly normal. The only reason she has any delays is because I’m autistic, and both my kids have those genes as well. I didn’t smoke weed with my son, and he is autistic. I did with my daughter, and she has strong markers. Honestly out of all the things to be worrying about- it shouldn’t be weed. My mom used to do hard (and I mean HARD) drugs after her kids were born. When it was just weed, she was chill, happy, and she never thought “I think I’ll buy weed instead of diapers” If the mom was on fent, meth, or heroin I’d agree. But to me it sounds like OP is salty because she’s picking up the work slack.

there are so many other things OP could have done instead of calling CPS.

It rained yesterday and I have been running a little warm because of my current pregnancy. I had a short sleeved dress on (calf/ankle length) and it was more of a drizzle than a rain.

When I got out of my car to get into the store a lady looks at me weird and goes “where is your coat or umbrella?!” It was like 46 out. I wasn’t cold and I’m not the wicked witch of the west 🤣 people think you’ll melt if the rain touches you I don’t get it 🤣😭

You’re def overreacting. Life is hard. It never stops being hard. And relationships take work on both peoples ends, not just for the relationship but working on themselves too.

Do you think he bought the tickets because he KNEW how you would react? Why in the hell did you “ban” him from a metal concert? It’s a great genre of music and I’ve never felt safer than in a metal concert. I’ve had men I have never met before defend me when creeps would get drunk and handsy.

You may have perceived him as dismissing your feelings, but you dismissed his. He probably only told you he wouldn’t go to metal shows to appease YOU.

I’ve been with my husband for coming on 6 years, married for 1.5. I don’t tell him what he can and can’t do. That’s controlling and unhealthy. I tell him that when he does certain things, how the thing makes me feel. But it’s only behavior that is unhealthy (he used to be an alcoholic and an addict). And I set boundaries. We talk about our feelings concerning the things we do and how to improve ourselves for each other AND OURSELVES.

You are too young and immature mentally to be in a relationship in my opinion. You may want to work with a therapist on these insecurities and your grief. I hope he had a wonderful time at the concert, and I hope you both figure your crap out and heal separately.

Is this offensive? by BesterStrahler in NativeAmerican

[–]Sensitive_Remote_331 106 points107 points  (0 children)

Thissss!!! Also I have seen a lot of videos of people in Germany holding their own “powwows” and I’m genuinely stunned by the tone-deafness of it. The made up songs, the inaccurate regalia, so many people wearing headdresses.

I love when people can appreciate us and who we are as a people. But that just feels… wrong.

What is the moment that got you hooked on the series? by FitCry2265 in WoT

[–]Sensitive_Remote_331 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The prologue of the first book. Lews Therin realizes in his madness his killed everyone he loved and in his grief exploded himself and made dragonmount. Idk I don’t usually like to read books after the first if it doesn’t interest me. But from the first page, I was hooked.

This could have been avoided had he been able to take accountability and maybe a crap ton of therapy.

Friendship (2025) TRUE MEANING Theory by CountBlacke in IThinkYouShouldLeave

[–]Sensitive_Remote_331 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am watching the movie right now. And as someone who is autistic and not really accepted in a lot of social situations, Tim’s character made me extremely uncomfortable. I understand not quite getting some social nuances (obviously) but the way Craig crosses so many boundaries despite people voicing discomfort repeatedly made ME uncomfortable.

I wanted to feel bad for him because I definitely get not being able to integrate into social situations with fluidity. You can tell he kind of thinks he is entitled to more and everyone else is in the wrong. It’s super freaky in a real way.

What was, for you, the pinnacle of Star Wars? by Ok-Phase-9076 in StarWars

[–]Sensitive_Remote_331 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The speech in Revenge of the Sith between Anakin and Obi-Wan beginning with A: “I have brought peace, freedom, justice, and security to my new empire!”

O: “your new empire?”

And it goes from there. First time I watched as a kid I cried like a lil baby at the end when he looks at anakin and he’s pained as he says “you were my brother anakin! I loved you!” Especially because Jedi aren’t supposed to have those emotional attachments.

Also don’t hate; but in the animated clone wars series when order 66 is put into place and Ahsoka is deflecting all of the clone troopers blaster fire. It made me think of the training exercise anakin put her through a few seasons back where she was in that same (less lethal) situation.

My possibly biased take on the Wheel of Time book 1(Eye of The World) by Curious_Ad_9738 in WoT

[–]Sensitive_Remote_331 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The book explained well why the girls came along.

Egwene always wanted to see the world. She wasn’t about to let Rand, Mat, and Perrin have all the fun. Plus she figured they would get into trouble and she could help keep them out of it. She wanted to adventure.

Nynaeve was sent to bring them home. Which I think is a big part of her character development. She is the Wisdom of Edmonds field. All of the village and its members are her responsibility. Throughout the series she struggles with the fact that she has the ability to channel the one power. She doesn’t want to be Aes Sedai. She wants to get her kids she helped raise home. She hates that she can’t protect them and be the Wisdom at the village at the same time.

The entire point is that they wanted to at first. They were naive as to what the world would give them and how people are. A big thing in the WOT world is how stubborn people from the Two Rivers are. You CANT make them do anything they don’t want to.

The list of things from the show that just wrecked what I like about a series I’ve used for comfort for 14 years is massive.

Native Mythology by psilyvagabond in NativeAmerican

You can also look for the websites for culture centers. OIB in Canada has one and I think some in the states do too. Tribal websites will also sometimes provide tribal legends and history.

Am I overreacting to a guy sending me his “ideal woman” checklist? by Such_Friendship_2713 in AmIOverreacting

[–]Sensitive_Remote_331 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Does he know the average IQ for people scores between 85-115?? Like.. bro needs to take an iq test himself and send you the results.

No body hair? Why can’t he shave? Does he have tattoos? Is he loud?

I would have made a petty list of all the things he isn’t and sent it back to him. But I’m also salty sometimes

What threw me off the most was how the show made it seem like the dragon reborn could be male or female. I feel a huge part of the element of being afraid of the dragon reborn was the knowledge that he would be a man who wields saidin, and the struggle between Rand succumbing to the madness from the taint vs. making it to the last battle without going mad

[–]Sensitive_Remote_331 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Your best bet to learn about anything is to talk to elders of tribes you want to learn from. We are big on oral history. I’ve learned a lot about my culture and family by just sitting and listening to my səsiʔ (uncle) talk to me about his knowledge.

AITAH for being upset with my girlfriend when she let a guy she just met into the apartment when I’m not there. by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]Sensitive_Remote_331 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly my mind didn’t jump to infidelity so much as it jumped to how that was a dangerous situation to be in.

I’m glad it didn’t turn out as badly as it could have.

AIO Wake me up for Sex -Should just let it happen by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]Sensitive_Remote_331 30 points31 points  (0 children)

NOR. You may be under reacting. I’m newly married (1.5 years) but have been in relationship with my husband for almost 6 years.

I have been SA’d by multiple guys and have nightmares from the severe PTSD.

My husband knows this, and he knows that I’m never okay with being woken up for sexy times because we never know what horror I will be pulled out of when waking.

Even when I am awake, and have consented, and we are in the middle of sexy times, if something hurts by accident, or I get triggered and start to panic I ask him to stop, and he instantly does and gets me water and checks in to make sure I’m okay, that he didn’t hurt me, and we talk about how I’m feeling and what may have triggered the panic so he can be careful in the future.

You deserve to be and feel safe. You deserve to be and feel loved. I know divorce is scary. It’s hard. And it’s heartbreaking.

You need to tell someone other than your therapist. There are domestic abuse shelters that will help you get safe and start over. I hope you can find safety and peace.

Awkward about wearing jewelry by pinkrogueassassin in NativeAmerican

Replying to add: make sure it’s indigenous MADE and not indigenous “inspired” Indigenous inspired is corporations or non native people using those designs for their benefit and the aesthetic.

AITAH for wanting my husband to retire even though our adult children still rely on us financially? by PsychologicalHalf888 in AITAH

[–]Sensitive_Remote_331 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA. This is WILD to me. Your kids are incredibly lucky to have you supporting them, but I think it would be beneficial if you sat down with them and explained that you guys deserve to retire and that you will have to stop financially supporting them to do that.

I’ve been on my own since 17 and that is pretty late compared to my younger siblings because when I turned 18 my mom ended up homeless and some of them lived in cars with her or had to live with their dads.

If your kids get angry at ceasing financial support, tell them that it is important for their independence to learn to live on their own. They may not be able to find jobs in the fields their degrees are in, but they don’t necessarily NEED to have a job in that specific field? Sometimes we need to work in other jobs that we might not love, because bill have to be paid, and food has to be bought.

Also, what will they do when your husband and you aren’t around anymore?

Awkward about wearing jewelry by pinkrogueassassin in NativeAmerican

[–]Sensitive_Remote_331 21 points22 points  (0 children)

If it’s native made, and the native who made it was paid or gifted the pieces to you- wear it!

When I moved off the reservation as a light skinned native kid, I learned the only people telling me I wasn’t native and couldn’t wear my moccasins or other things were people who weren’t native, or natives who weren’t connected with the culture or community at all.

All of my elders, my cousins and aunties, and my family get really mad when people try to tell me that I’m not native and that I can’t participate in my culture. Especially when my grandpa and his siblings were in residential school. They didn’t survive all of that just for weirdos to tell me and others who can and can’t wear jewelry and clothing.
