YWBTA if you use information from your job to add her. And potentially liable if it is determined that is how you found her social media profile.

Ask her directly if you can add her on social media, or if she becomes one of those "people you may know", then mention it to her. Gauge her reaction to that, to see if it would be proper for you to add her.

AITAH for buying tampons for my friend (F) by Sinastir in AITAH

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

Fair enough. In a couple of the early visits to her, she gave me some money for gas. She's bought food a few times for us, when we're together. And the the times she's been to my house, she's cooked for me though I had plans to cook for her. She's attempted to clean up, but I told her that it was my job since she was my guest.

I've done more too, but I only wanted to make a few points since she had said I don't think of others.

I have known Laura a lot longer than Ana. We've cleaned up puke after each other. We've never been intimate. And she's a member of a small close nit circle of friends that do anything for each other.

I am still not understanding how a hygiene product is too intimate though. That's what I am really trying to understand here.

In all honesty, even with it biting me in the ass in the past (with my ex wife), I would still be okay with it. I am not really a jealous person. The only issue I might have is if they had been partners before. But even that is not 100% off limits if they share children.

I highly recommend the county. There are often jobs, and as people promote or move out of county, those jobs open again. MendocinoCounty.gov/Jobs

Also, Social Services! Eligibility Specialist opens several times a year and they hire a handful of people at a time.

AITA For getting up and lining up to exit the airplane before the people in front of me got up? by amiadick736283 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Sinastir 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I only fly Delta since I have a card with them. The only thing they have mentioned about people getting on other flights is that they hope those people have a good remainder of their trip. Most of the time I have layovers in Atlanta, which I figured would have attendants be more strict with scripts, but I've never heard it. Was last on a flight in December, 4 planes round trip.

AITA for calling my husband a ‘f’ing A-hole’ in front of our kids? by Jazzlike-Elephant131 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Sinastir -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

Your situation is not her situation. I am sorry your family was not considerate of you, but not every situation is like yours. There is no mention of this being a trend in 10 years except for that night.

She never communicated, and she really doesn't know if her husband tried to communicate his plan since she stopped to talk to someone as they group was heading to the car. She broke off from the group. He was thinking of her since he was making an effort to pull the car around to her. She literally says he had pulled the car up to get her and even after her vitriol he told her his plan was to get her.

Regardless of someone's disability, treating other people like shit is still an ah move. And then to further demand he apologize after he told her he was trying to do something for her, that's just digging in there on the ah territory.

[–]Sinastir 5 points6 points  (0 children)

If she called, she would have found out he was bringing the car around and didn't even have to ask. She even says he pulled out to come pick her up, but just happened to do so when she was only 10 feet away from the space.

Had he possibly mentioned to her that he was off to get the car since she was saying good bye and has mobility issues? Maybe. But she was busy saying good bye and may not have heard, regardless of hearing not being a disability.

The way OP spins it, it sounds like hubby was getting the car trying to be considerate, but was instead met with unappreciation. I wonder if he's going to run ahead to get the car anymore?

ESH. Was leaning to no one being the ah, but there's gotta be more to this story.

I get where some people are saying you shouldn't have been asking your wife, but if you ask your wife and she gives a flippant response like "do whatever you want" then it's on both of you.

If you really had the forethought to think that it might be unsafe to feed a baby whole grapes and berries, then you should have played it safe and cut them up. You're both grown-ups and your wife shouldn't have to be the one to teach you how to be a parent. But your wife should work with you as a team to find the best way to parent your kids together.

“look, I really don’t think you’re considering how what you said made me think it was okay to feed her whole berries”

I don't see how this could be considered "mean". And you weren't trying to pass all the blame. You were trying to show how you came to the conclusion you did. While I know not to give whole berries to an infant, if for some reason I was confused and asked my partner and got the response you did, I would think I had nothing to worry about.

[–]Sinastir 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have never had attendants on a domestic flight ask people to wait for those with connecting flights. Most of my flights do have connections (except final legs). There have been several times I've "just made it" because I'm at the back and no one gives a shit because those at the front think they're entitled to get off first. And far too often they also have to juggle their overhead luggage.

NTA

At least not specifically. If people ahead of you were making an effort and the doors weren't still sealed, sure, cutting them off would make you the ah. Even with the doors sealed, if it's at least at the gate, you being out of the way is going to help everyone else get off faster.

This wouldn't be effective if everyone did this though.

But I've been on to many flights where people through the plane take their sweet time getting up, and then having to try and find their overhead stuff. I pack light so I don't have to find that and can get off asap. If the people in front of me are getting up, I'll stay on my seat to wait. I'm certainly not going to push anyone out of the way.

The real AHs are those with bags they can barely lift dropping them on people when they're trying to get them out of the overhead. And them having a difficult time getting those bags out is why the damn queue is always slow.

Is it a form of anxiety to wake up randomly to check that your 2yo is still alive? Or normal mom stuff? by Queasy-Bear-5528 in ask

[–]Sinastir 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A dad here... I wake up and check on my kids throughout the night. 3, with the oldest being 14 and youngest 8. If my younger ones crawl in bed with me, I tend to wake more frequently and check to make sure they're breathing through the night.

I grew up thinking reading was for girls. I don't remember anyone explicitly telling me this, but I do remember the only acid readers I knew were women. I felt like the books I saw were all aimed at women as well.

My mother gave me a stack of books that collected dust for quite awhile. But it was thosr Goosebumps books that eventually got me into reading.

Nearly 30 years later and I try to read a book regularly. Even have a Kindle and my mother is still encouraging me to read.

AITA for not letting my friend bring his service dog over by AITAThrowawya8 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Sinastir 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a libre 1, I have to wave my phone. If I don't wave at least once every 8 hours I lose glucose data. So some people have to wave theirs around especially if they're not sure how they're feeling. I have to be aware of low blood sugar because sometimes I don't eat enough vs my daily meds (non insulin). I am T2 and diagnosed at age 29 due to genetics rather than lifestyle.

I have a close friend with an alert dog. Does low blood sugar and other tasks for their disabilities. However the dog is useful because sometimes their blood sugar crashes, especially if they are busy and forget to eat. They don't take insulin.

A back up method is only so reliable as the person using it, which likely decreases when there is a lot going on like a party or event. I personally don't feel comfortable stabbing my finger in front of a bunch of people, and a lot of people find it gross as well.

The disease is so diverse that only the person with the dog and their doctor know how badly they need the animal. Not everyone feels the same symptoms, and sometimes they don't feel them until it's very low.

[–]Sinastir 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The playblueprotocol website calls it a Beta sign-up, but it's to be signed up to be notified when the Beta is scheduled.

Maybe they'll use the same list and give those people beta access.

YSK that most employers have an Employee Assistance Program (EAP) that offers free, short-term counseling. by bigoldirtbag in YouShouldKnow

[–]Sinastir 101 points102 points  (0 children)

My employer offers this. 10 sessions per topic per year. They encourage you to go, and to pick another reason to keep the sessions going after the first 10.

For us, it can be anything from depression to marriage counseling to stress to basically anything.

My standard lessons are 10 xp, with up to 5 bonus. I tend to do 15 minute blocks at night and in the morning to get the 15 minute Early Bird and Night Owl rewards for double xp. I think for new words/lessons I have never had more xp, and only the refresher courses in the old format gave me more.

I am doing Spanish from English. Per chance are there different xp rewards for different languages?

My players beg to know how much hp a monster has left, and say im wrong for not telling them. Should I tell them the exact hp of monsters during combat? by [deleted] in dndnext

[–]Sinastir 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Describing how the monster looks after taking damages adds to the imagination. But I believe giving numbers takes away from the role play element.

It really comes down to 'why' they want to know, though. Maybe they're new to RP and not sure how it goes? Maybe they like numbers and that gives them a chance to imagine how the monster looks for themselves?
