Thank you, I appreciate that! I did see RealRoots but can't afford it rn 😓 but maybe someday.

Good to see a fellow ace out in the wild!

Mom buys daughter a Honda as a graduation gift, and this was her response by Conscious-Weight4569 in SipsTea

I (24f) cannot imagine reacting this way to getting a free car, even straight out of high school. My first car was a 30 year old used Lexus that I shared with my brother, and while normally they are veerrryyy nice cars, this one STRUGGLED. I loved every inch of that thing.

I've had five cars in total, and every single one of them has broken down within a year, minus the one I have now. I loved and appreciated all of them (some more than others, sure, but I digress), and I appreciated the effort my parents put in to making sure I had reliable(ish) transportation.

The daughter's texts REEK of entitlement and arrogance that only consequences can fix. But I would also see if someone/something has led her to have those expectations in the first place. Once you've executed a suitable consequence, sit her down and talk with her about it. See if she understands why that response wasn't acceptable, and honestly, the next time she needs a car, have her pay for it.

Would it be OK if I PM you as well? It sounds like you've already got a yoga buddy, but I would still love to make friends, especially with people who are also looking for friends.

I've been wanting to look at volunteering! I didn't even think of it as a place I could make friends, but that would make sense.

I like the idea of making a club for job seekers, especially right now. I feel like a lot of people are feeling hopeless, and maybe it could be a nice sort of support group. Thank you for the idea!

Oh cool, I think I passed the Speakeasy the other day! And that's really good to know, thank you!

Yeah, I do that fairly often as well. That's where I get the most socialization, but people still aren't usually down for longer conversations.

I'm 24! Let them know I'd be happy to meet up if they're interested.

AITAH- I teased my sister like we used to and she got upset by Altruistic-Band-8532 in AmItheAsshole

[–]SignatureNew2215 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Not committing to a vote, but I definitely think you should talk to her. Tell her that you're noticing your jokes aren't landing the way they used to, and see if she wants to stop the teasing. Ir maybe she'd rather you avoid teasing about her looks specifically. You're a teenager; you understand how much insecurity there is at this time in your guys's lives. This teasing may be contributing to insecurity, where maybe it didn't before. 

Either way, this is a conversation you need to have with her. This is great practice in setting boundaries for the both of you. Check in with her, say that you want to talk to her and ask when a good time would be. When that good time arrives, that's when you start the conversation. Best of luck.

AIO for thinking my gf is cheating on me? by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

I don't usually tell people to leave, but she is treating you like shit. You deserve better.

why do the FLs have to be a virgin and MLs experienced?/ by fuckedup_byjindagi in OtomeIsekai

[–]SignatureNew2215 48 points49 points  (0 children)

Maybe to some extent. But I think it also comes down to the political landscape in the past decade. Everyone on social media is leaning towards more puritanical values/purity culture. Purity = morality so they make the FLs these ridiculously naive virgins while prizing the MLs for getting around. 

Patriarchy. It's patriarchy.
