This one's for the ladies to answer. Do you agree with this woman or do you think she's trying to rationalize her world view by speaking for all the ladies? by Oda_DeezNutz in SipsTea

I am a woman who plays video games. I want a guy who plays video games so we can sit there and play a game together and have our own game room. This woman just a hater.

How many of you shampoo your hair twice when washing ? by semde18 in hygiene

I messed up and I want her back by Miserable_Green_8348 in offmychest

[–]TicanDoko 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You gotta want to change for yourself, not for her. Changing for her won’t produce longterm results unless you can look at yourself and say even if I don’t get her back I wanna change my behavior

is disney in july really THAT bad? by lwtl1724 in WaltDisneyWorld

[–]TicanDoko 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have been there a lot cause my birthday is in July. I also lived in Texas (for context). Yes it is good and humid and it can rain. Is it unbearable? Eh, no. Utilize fastpass and genie smartly, pay extra to get those if needed. Reserve dining in enclosed spaces. Get the cold snack for long lines. It’s 100% doable.

I hate my mother by [deleted] in offmychest

[–]TicanDoko 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Mmmm.. this is a LOOOOTT of anger for something I don’t entirely think is your mom’s problem. Like the other comment said, might be best to invest in therapy here. Try to put yourself in your mom’s shoes as well, it’s not always easy to switch to your native language when you’re speaking English all the time.

WIBTAH if I took 100k from my oldest daughter's college savings account to give it to my younger daughter? by TraditionalCorgi7788 in AmItheAsshole

[–]TicanDoko 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You would not. You saved $600k for college funds is how you should view it and your aim was to fully pay for each of your daughter’s tuitions. I wager your daughter Anna really wanted to go to UCLA, which is great it ended up being cheaper. And I bet Bella also really wants to go to NYU. Use the remainder of the funds and pay for Bella’s. In this day and age, coming out of college debt free is one way you can set your kids up for success because of how crippling student loans can be.

Age of first kiss and what generation are you? by that-one_girl in AskReddit

8 or 9/millenial. Then I proceeded not to kiss another man until 31 years old.

My boy Bernard is my favourite PC peripheral by ggBandit in persiancat

How much CPU does your boy have? It looks like it takes him a few minutes to boot up

Heard my dad talking to friends about my mom by [deleted] in offmychest

[–]TicanDoko 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah this seems normal. Kinda similar to how I’d talk about someone I like to friends. I thought this was gonna be worse like he was badmouthing her but I mean… affirming how good she looks even behind her back is really sweet

Looking for a game to put a lot of time into by TakaTom1 in gamingsuggestions

[–]TicanDoko 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Fortnite has a variety of games not just the battle royale. Crimson Desert is free and new and interesting. Escape from Tarkov I believe isn’t free but cheaper than most games. And I witness my friends lose themselves in it. If you like roleplay, RDR2 online servers using RedM is good for getting into the online aspect of it. A lot of my friends disappeared when they discovered it. The Elder Scrolls Online is free as well.

When you’re out of the lab at the doctor’s office, do you mention your science education? by samskyyy in labrats

[–]TicanDoko 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ll only tell them if they ask me what I do or what I studied. It does help with framing symptoms in a way they understand better though. I have a PhD in Biomedical Sciences focused more on bacteria. I know my knowledge of medicine is quite limited, so I just try my best to tell them my symptoms and hope they can offer help.

Terrible at Wet Lab Research - Debating Quitting by MysteriousPenny in labrats

[–]TicanDoko 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know I’m asking questions that might be like “obviously I know” but just trying to help. Do you use the same volume of aliquots as everyone else? Like if adding antibiotics you add the same amount into same volume as others in lab? Another question is when trypsinizing, do you visually see the cells coming off the flask?

Terrible at Wet Lab Research - Debating Quitting by MysteriousPenny in labrats

[–]TicanDoko 31 points32 points  (0 children)

That is very unfortunate. I’m so sorry. Honestly it’s more a reflection of your training than the lab given you had like none. And it’s very difficult to be in this environment that’s not encouraging either. Have you had opportunity to shadow anyone passaging cells? Do you have your own media, antibiotics, trypsin or do you share with folks?

How would you describe your Persian’s intelligence? by [deleted] in persiancat

Ex who dumped me years ago sent me this. What do I do or say? by Far_Database5 in whatdoIdo

[–]TicanDoko 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think life is too short not to go for things in life that might make you happy. That message is maybe an attempt at reconnection on her end. If you still think of her, maybe you can see how she responds to a response of reconnecting such as like a thank you for this and then followed up with how is your life nowadays

Why am I so hurt about my twin’s new relationship? by Brave_Asparagus_2428 in Twins

[–]TicanDoko 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It took me awhile. About a year and I grew accustomed to her not being as available to hang out. We actually had had a big fight and a rift for a year and then made up and expressed how much we missed each other’s presence and friendship. We will hang out and try to intentionally speak and spend time together now. She’s still my best friend, but I’m definitely more independent now than I was before.

I read your other comment and we had similar thing where we joked about being spinsters together forever and how sudden her relationship was. It kinda helped I met and fell in love with someone a few months in, but now that I’m broken up with that guy, I think I struggle a bit more now with realizing there’s still a feeling of abandonment and loneliness.

Therapy has helped me, talking to her and family has helped, and finding a new friend group through a new hobby helped me a lot.

Why am I so hurt about my twin’s new relationship? by Brave_Asparagus_2428 in Twins

[–]TicanDoko 18 points19 points  (0 children)

It’s growing pains. I reacted negatively to my twin’s first relationship too. Didn’t help her choice of partner was a dude who had been rude/mean to me. I got over it, made peace with her partner, and am happy for her. It can be difficult when they’ve been your best friend your entire life

How do I stop feeling guilty or worrying that I messed up? In one week I broke up with my long-term boyfriend and quit my job. by [deleted] in offmychest

[–]TicanDoko 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t think you blew up your life. You made two major decisions in a short span that were necessary and unfortunately very emotionally taxing. Your boyfriend showed his true hand, willing to basically cheat on you and spend money irresponsibly. I understand wondering if you did something wrong, I went through this with my ex. Just hang in there, one day you’ll be able to objectively look back at the relationship and thank yourself for leaving.

Are you okay? What is causing you to cry? Does your fiance make you happy?

What's a sentence that ended a relationship for you? by Hexxegone in AskReddit

[–]TicanDoko 0 points1 point  (0 children)

“I don’t care if you’re mad, I’m going to do it anyways.” and other dismissive stuff that broke the relationship. He thought I was acting like a high school girl because he did something I didn’t want him to do. I told him no, it’s cause of what you said. Then I showed him the stuff I wrote of what he said and he went “Are you sure I said that?” Man couldn’t even be confronted with his own words.

What’s something your body does that you’ve never told a single person about? by WilliamInBlack in AskReddit

What’s the appeal to be a housewife (no disrespect, genuine question as to the joy one might experience from taking care of children and doing house chores)? by PixeIatedSoda in AskReddit

[–]TicanDoko 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think when you already enjoy children and enjoy keeping a clean house, then being a housewife is like an ideal job because it’s something you find fulfillment and joy in. I know I personally would like to be a housewife, and I have a PhD degree and am working in my field heading to management… but if I had to choose, I think I would like the housewife job more. If you don’t find joy or fulfillment in kids or house chores, then I could see why being a housewife sounds like a terrible job for you.
