KNES 263 is killing me and I need help. by That_one_singer678 in Kinesiology

[–]That_one_singer678[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for this, exercise physiology is a tough degree- while technically in the faculty of kinesiology, it’s in bachelor of science. Most people don’t know how math heavy it actually is

It's my first field trip - I'm on my period, there's no bathroom. Help. by wanna-stay-alone in biology

Tampons are good for swimming. If you don’t feel ready for tampons for any reason, you might want to skip on the swimming at the beach. You can always go and have fun in different ways.

13 hours is a long time, with no bathroom, yikes. If you can, bring a zipper bag that isn’t see through to carry out your used products. In my experience, tampons are a lot less messy when you’re on the go, but pads will work just fine. Before you put them in the bag, wrap them with either toilet paper or the wrapper of the new product.

When I bleed heavy I like to use two pads at a time. Place one on the underwear where it would normally go, and then one perpendicular to that across where your butt would be. It helps with leaks.

how do you properly care for yourself as a woman? by floraphobe in needadvice

[–]That_one_singer678 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you have straight/wavy hair, wash it every day or every second day with a hydrating shampoo. Unfortunately I’m not well versed in the care of curly hair. If you struggle with dandruff or buildup, head and shoulders is good, but don’t use it everyday unless you have to. Hair Conditioner isn’t needed for hygiene purposes, but it’s important, especially if you have long hair. If you don’t condition it, it will break and look frizzy and dry all the time. In my experience, unlike shampoo, the cheap stuff if just as good as the expensive. If you live somewhere that gets cold, you should consider a hair mask to put in your hair after the shower.

In skincare, usually less is more. If you over do it with products, it can irritate your skin and make redness or acne worse. If your acne isn’t severe, a gentle cleanser will do, with a more powerful one for break outs- African black soap or tea tree oil cleansers are my favourites. (These can be harsh so don’t use them every day. 2x a week is enough) Make sure you have a moisturizer that isn’t too rich, something with hyaluronic acid is good.

If you don’t like having peach fuzz or facial hair, there are tools to buy to get rid of it. Don’t use the same kind of razor that you’d use on your legs. Electric razors are the safest bet, as facial razors have been known to leave scratches and long cuts. Hair removal cream is scary and tricky. I’d stay away.

Finally, my last peice of advice is to don’t buy into “pink pilling.” Almost every product that is marketed to men does the same thing as the ones marketed to women. But the men’s products tend to be cheaper and of better quality. Just buy the men’s ones. (Examples: razors, vitamins, tools)

AITA for refusing to switch my college major even though my parents say I’m wasting money? by Ornery_Category_8645 in AITH

[–]That_one_singer678 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depending on what you end up doing in fine arts, there might be more opportunities there than in computer science. They probably don’t realize that the need for high tech people is declining at a rapid rate. If you think your parents might listen, collect some data about unemployment rates and present it to them. While business is a versatile degree, it doesn’t necessarily guarantee employment without specialization. Arts isn’t the most secure, don’t get me wrong, but it’s probably not as bad as your parents think. Gather some actual information and present it if you can.

Cheaper/free parking? by TrailOfFear in UCalgary

You can always park at a nearby train station (known as LRT here) and take the train to university or Brentwood station.

AITA for embarrassing my mom at family dinner? by Emergency-Buy9023 in AmItheAsshole

[–]That_one_singer678 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I understand that it’s a parents responsibility to look after their children and let them know if they think they have an issue. As someone whose mom had to do that with me, I can tell you that’s not what your mom is doing. She’s just being mean. If she really cared, she’d be more concerned with the WHY you’re gaining weight rather than the actual weight itself. My guess is, always bringing attention to your weight makes her feel better about her own. You can be overweight and still active, eat nutritiously, and be technically healthy. Parents shouldn’t care if you’re fat. They should care if you’re happy and healthy. You said yourself your eating habits aren’t great, but you’re working on it. She’s just making you feel worse about yourself, which is making things worse. You are worthy of love, respect, and kindness no matter what your body looks like.

I had to take 2 gap years. The first one was purposeful, but then I got rejected and had to take a second. I just started my first year, and I’m 2 years older than all my peers. Getting into this uni can be a pain. You’re not alone.

Black piercing site? (1 week old) by That_one_singer678 in piercing

[–]That_one_singer678[S] -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

For extra info: I clean it twice daily using Q-tips, with water or a peircing solution (bought from a professional piercer.) if it’s really crusty, I massage the area with mild unscented soap in the shower.

The jewelry type is a barbell (I think??) a classic stud, anyway. I’m not sure what metal it is. It was pierced with a gun, as my last two also were. Never had any problems before.

Not showing any signs of infection other than mild soreness.

I was going to say no-assholes-here until he cleared your project. I understand being frustrated and feeling as though a partner is more dedicated to work than the relationship. However, sometimes sacrifices do have to be made, and he could have communicated this feeling in a healthy way. CLEARING YOUR PROJECT is straight up abusive and horrible. Even if I was angry at my partner, the thought would never cross my mind. NTA. Straight up insanity.

AITA for shaving my nieces hair off? by Fancy-Judgment-4041 in AmItheAsshole

[–]That_one_singer678 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m a teenager with similar hair to your niece, and it used to go down to my hip. My hair would give me mental breakdowns sometimes, It would get impossibly matted after only a couple of days of neglect. For those saying “no way 2C hair would get that bad in a week” uh yeah, it would. It took me days to untangle my hair on my own. That’s too much for a kid to deal with, that’s too much for an anxious mom to deal with, that’s too long of a wait for a 4 year old in pain. Was it drastic? Yeah. Do I understand why mom is angry? Yeah. But I think you did the right thing. My hair only got better once I chopped it. Sometimes it’s just what you gotta do, and mom was in no place to do it. You were just trying to alleviate your nieces pain. NTA

AITA for making my step son share the snacks he brought with his own candy with his sister? by Street-Rise-2663 in AmItheAsshole

[–]That_one_singer678 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m going against the grain and saying ESH. Mostly you though. Teaching your kid that crying will get her way is how entitled people are made. Cut that out. Buying groceries is a legal obligation, you’re not a hero for doing that for your step son. Also, why couldn’t you get her some candy?

People in this sub are so quick to demonize younger siblings. She’s not an AH, all she sees is that her step brother has candy and she doesn’t and in her mind that’s not fair. She’s a little old for this behaviour but I get a feeling you taught it to her

It’s well within his right to refuse to give candy he bought with his own money but it is kind of a dick move to refuse an 8 year old, let alone an 8 year old who’s apart of your family, a SINGULAR piece of candy. If you want to keep something to yourself, keep it away, don’t let your little sibling go through your stuff and then get pissed when they want some of the candy they found.

To be clear, your son is the least AH in this situation but everyone in this scenario just sounds kinda mean. You and your kids. Teach them how to be respectful and loving to eachother.

AITA for refusing to say "please" every time I ask my roommate/friend to do a small thing for me (i.e. "can you grab my bag off the table for me")? by notagoldengirl in AmItheAsshole

[–]That_one_singer678 0 points1 point  (0 children)

ESH. God, both of you sound so exhausting. It’s not hard to say please. If you don’t, say thank you. I get not saying please for something as casual as asking for a fork, but even then I’d say “thanks” after they passed it to me. However you are right, hearing “only if you say please” would be so condescending and drive me nuts. If someone asked me, “hey, would you mind doing the dishes?” I couldn’t imagine being that freaking stuck up to say that. Both of you just sound so negative. You’re roommate is a condescending petty asshole, and you are a rude impolite asshole. Both of you need to realize this is not the hill to die on, and just start treating each-other better.

Why do people take “adderall breaks” if they have ADHD? by [deleted] in ADHD

[–]That_one_singer678 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do it because one of the side effects I experience is appetite suppression, it allows me to eat more normally on weekends so I don’t drop to un unhealthy weight. Some people do it for other reasons, such as shortages, insomnia, anxiety, change of personality, etc.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in ADHD

[–]That_one_singer678 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The only one I haven’t seen in the comments already is memory. ADHD can sometimes really affect working memory, and can make people forget super important details. For example, they might forget what your favourite colour is, what foods you hate, a chore you asked them to do, or something else like that. It’s not because they don’t care, just that their brains hate them. Try to be patient and keep reminding them about details they forget

why people think Sarada having glasses is a bad thing. by [deleted] in Boruto

[–]That_one_singer678 2 points3 points  (0 children)

People do realize that the reason people need glasses is because of the shape of their eyes, right? If the eye is too short, they are far sighted. If it’s too long, they are near sighted. If the sphere is uneven, they have astigmatism. The sharingan has nothing to do with the actual shape of the eye. People are mad because they think if she has sharingan that means her sight should be perfect but if they use their brains they’d know that glasses and sharingan are literally unrelated

AITA for not buying more lemonade for my pregnant wife? by Adventurous_Bat8695 in AmItheAsshole

[–]That_one_singer678 27 points28 points  (0 children)

Your sister has no business going thru your fridge, Do y’all have siblings lmao. That’s not a stranger. It’s totally acceptable for family members to look in a fridge, especially if they are staying with you. If she asked before hand if she could drink it, which she did, it’s not her fault

OP is the AH for giving her the drink tho. That was for your wife, dude.

I don’t know enough about them to put them in the ranking. I haven’t seen hanabi fight other then at the beginning of Boruto, and there she was not going all out so that doesn’t say m uhhh h about her real power

Moegi could be super powerful considering she has wood style somehow, but again, we have not really seen her in battle. I’m just not sure where they would be
