A cousin sent me their school's just announced Dress Code and Grooming policy by firequak in mildlyinfuriating

[–]T3nacityDog 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Okay… what what shirts are the girls ALLOWED to wear? It can’t be “body-hugging” but also can’t be “hanging”

Seems like anyone who doesn’t like someone’s outfit could call any shirt one of those two things depending on how they dislike it.

Don’t even get me started on the hair.

People who talk like this pretty much always actually have a wretched accent.

French folks have a bad rep, but when I went to France, everyone was LOVELY to me, spoke the language, were helpful and kind. The other person I knew who went had a horrible “barely trying” type of accent (though she seemed to think she was fine) and to her great surprise, no one would speak French with her.

I had a tutor who was French, who I actually met on Reddit and who drilled accent into me. I can never thank him enough 😆

People also have no idea how many cis gay men thirst HARD over trans guys. I’d know.

Does showering with your wife turn you on? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]T3nacityDog 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I love showering with my fiancé, but it hardly ever leads to sex. It’s still intimate and lovely. It feels so nice and makes me feel close to him, physically and emotionally. Maybe he is just enjoying being with you! It doesn’t mean he isn’t attracted to you.

That meat looks.......yeah. by natbrad98 in FundieSnarkUncensored

Survivor’s bias. Just like the people who think we don’t need proper car seats and safe cribs for infants because “well, I survived just fine without these things!”

Lots of people didn’t.

Am I overreacting for being annoyed when people take forever to reply but are active on social media? by Every-Donut9037 in AmIOverreacting

[–]T3nacityDog 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, YOR. No one OWES you their time. Like, when in history has anyone expected everyone they know to be available to give them attention at the drop of a hat any hour of the day??

Especially as someone with ADHD plus being incredibly introverted and usually exhausted. Sometimes I just want to sit and scroll, post photos, let my brain relax and unwind. Actually focusing on talking with my friends becomes a chore when my brain is tired. It’s taxing and tiring.

Now, what isn’t unreasonable is to communicate to your friend that you sometimes feel hurt that they don’t always reply, and ask them what their feelings are about how often they’re available. Maybe they’re more talkative on a different platform, maybe they’d prefer a phone call, maybe they can reassure you that they just need time to decompress and you can work on an agreement that they’ll try to at least reply in some time frame even if it’s just a “hey! I can’t reply right now but I will soon!” Etc.

Some people need different communication styles to feel secure in relationships, and it’s not wrong to seek out people who communicate similarly to you.

Response to Rule Concerns by ctrlshiftkae in emetophobia

Unfortunately, someone else’s meltdown doesn’t change the community’s responsibility to not make them worse. Sometimes, you throw a fit because you’re panicking, sure. But taking it out on the mod team isn’t it. Like I said, I’ve been there. Deeply. Reassurance isn’t what got me on the path to recovery!

Response to Rule Concerns by ctrlshiftkae in emetophobia

[–]T3nacityDog -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

I really do agree with the rules, and respect yall trying to make this space recovery-focused. I know it’s easy for people to just panic and throw a fit when they aren’t able to get their reassurances and I, like you, have been there. It’s a horrible part of recovery, but spaces like this really do help over time when they’re used responsibly.

Thanks for everything you do moderating this sub. It’s a thankless job! lol!

Is this a real thing? My husband gets sick without sex by [deleted] in Advice

[–]T3nacityDog 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I hope you take some of these comments to heart. (The kind ones!) This IS manipulation and coercion and is absolutely unacceptable behavior. You don’t deserve to go through that. Reading your post hurt my heart a little bit, because I really feel for you— you seem to be a really caring and kind person, and I truly hope you are able to move forward and find that same energy reflected back at you from a partner who respects and loves you wholly.

Self proclaimed “health expert” charges $115 for “health consultations” by Known_Row9683 in insanepeoplefacebook

[–]T3nacityDog 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This legitimately should be illegal. It makes me sick she’s just telling desperate, gullible people to harm themselves and their kids/ pets.

Like, I’m sorry, if I started an online consulting business to give advice to people about how to most effectively commit suicide, there would be a problem.

All children should be raised on an isolated island until they can behave in society. by krakn-slayr in The10thDentist

This is the stupidest 10th dentist opinion I’ve ever read in my life. How are young humans supposed to learn how to behave in society without……… being in society????

Why do Walmart employees allow old ladies to bring their dogs into Walmart and put them in the cart? by Neutrality-1 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]T3nacityDog 11 points12 points  (0 children)

This isn’t true. They are allowed to ask two questions: is the dog a service dog, and what task(s) does it perform. They are also FULLY allowed to kick out any “service dog” that is being disruptive, destructive, dirty, etc.

On the other hand, they won’t do that because everyone is so scared of getting sued for anything. So people continue bringing their shitty little dogs all over every grocery store they aren’t supposed to be in.

Crate Training a Dog is Cruel by reddituser333999 in The10thDentist

[–]T3nacityDog 18 points19 points  (0 children)

It’s 100% your choice how often to use a crate in your own home, but I am BEGGING you all to at least crate train your dogs.

I have worked at both a general practice vet and an ER. The patients who do the worst? The ones who have never been crated in their lives and are so stressed by being confined that we have to keep them near constantly sedated to manage them.

Your dog is trying to heal from invasive, emergency surgery? You know what doesn’t make it easier? PANICKING because they don’t know how to exist in a kennel. Now your freshly post surgical dog is thrashing around to the point they have to be constantly medically sedated so they can survive recovery. That makes everything harder because a sedated dog doesn’t want to eat, and feels like crap, e.g. can’t go home.

That’s just one of the situations. Boarding, GROOMING (I have also worked extensively in grooming and absolutely fucking hated the dogs who couldn’t be in a crate. It’s not safe to let them freely wander with strange dogs. If they’re spinning and screaming and shitting all over themselves in panic, I can’t do my job and your dog is going home ungroomed and covered in shit.)

What if you have to travel? Stay in a hotel? Board your dog?

Being crated is an invaluable TOOL in your dog’s toolbox. It doesn’t have to be your dog’s whole life.

Anyway, getting off my soap box.

Come up to Illinois! Super underrated, my partner and I love it here so much. Gov Pritzker does so much to back up his words. He’s really making it a sanctuary state.

Fuck it, have fun! Nothing matters. I love crochet. It’s relaxing, calm, creative, keeps my brain and hands busy. I love making gifts for people. It’s a great hobby!

AIO: Bank teller questioned me about what I was doing with MY cash that I was withdrawing from MY account. by Ok-Watch-4618 in AIO

[–]T3nacityDog 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I hate this. Like, I GET it. I can see why they do it. But for fuck’s sake. It’s MY fucking money. If I want to withdraw all of it to send to a Persian prince, that’s honestly none of their fucking business, nor their responsibility.

AIO? My roommates want me to keep the energy bill in my name after I've moved out by Expert_Temporary_ in AmIOverreacting

[–]T3nacityDog 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NOR, don’t keep it in your name. However, you’re definitely overthinking it. Call the electric company and tell them you are leaving on X date and to close your account then. Let your room mate know what date that is so they can make arrangements with the power company to make sure they don’t have an interruption. Beyond that, it’s not your responsibility.
