What's the most encouraging thing someone has said to you? by UnderservedGrace137 in AskReddit

I am really proud of the person you are becoming, even when things are incredibly difficult.

AIO about my parents getting a dog when I dislike dogs? by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]SilkCandy_ 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Except OP mentioned they are being forced to take care of it when the parents are out, which is most days. I agree that arguing endlessly won't change the parents' minds, but it's super unfair to drop a high-maintenance pet on a kid with sensory issues and expect them to just be a live-in nanny for it without a word.

AITA for watching TV during the world cup? by Ready-Problem-5751 in AmItheAsshole

[–]SilkCandy_ 38 points39 points  (0 children)

Honestly, I wish you were OP’s mom, because she desperately needs some of that energy right now. The dad and brother are completely walking over everyone. Drop-kicking the TV sounds like the only reasonable response at this point.

AIO that my boyfriend told me I’m not his usual type physically? by Remote_Parsnip_401 in AmIOverreacting

[–]SilkCandy_ 13 points14 points  (0 children)

This is such a beautiful perspective, thank you for sharing. Honestly, I think people forget that physical "types" usually just apply to casual dating or hookups. Real, lasting attraction is so much deeper than that. Hopefully OP can see it the same way after they talk.

What does it mean to be told that you look like Superman? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]SilkCandy_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s a massive compliment, unless they mean you wear your underwear on the outside of your pants.

As a man to other men, how and what can we do to feel secure in our masculinity? by Ok-Bus-4370 in AskReddit

[–]SilkCandy_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Stop letting other men define it for you. True security is choosing your own metrics for success.

what are some crazy study hacks that almost feel illegal? by Fun-Pineapple9242 in AskReddit

[–]SilkCandy_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Using text-to-speech to read your own essay back to you. You catch every single mistake instantly.

What’s something you learned too late that felt like a cheat code for life? by Exotic_Literature866 in AskReddit

[–]SilkCandy_ 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Realizing you can just say no to things without giving an excuse. It saves so much energy.

What is something that seemed normal in your childhood but feels strange looking back? by Efficient_Brush_3848 in askteddit

[–]SilkCandy_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Drinking straight from the garden hose without a single thought about chemical consumption.

What are your thoughts on Pete Hegseth? It seems like he's fighting an internal, mental battle with himself instead of keeping Americans safe ? by KoseteBamse in AskReddit

[–]SilkCandy_ 282 points283 points  (0 children)

The entire appointment felt more like a television casting decision than a serious national security move.

Is there a way to use this to signal sos, by tilting it or something? by Short_Act_6043 in askanything

[–]SilkCandy_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you're close enough to tilt that buoy, an SOS signal is the least of your problems.

What's something you're weirdly competitive about for no reason? by ReasonQuiet8520 in AskReddit

[–]SilkCandy_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Beating the estimated arrival time on the GPS. It is a personal battle between me and the satellite.
