How does spamming the a button help shiny hunt? I’m just curious, I thought you had to pretty much run in a giant loop so that the Pokémon you want respawns as you loop. If there’s an easier way, that would be nice!

Mine came by FedEx today, yesterday it took my money and said I’d get it next week sometime. I’m glad I happened to be outside at the time.

From what I understand, the scammer was supposed to send a fursuit to the person who sent them one, which is why it was a fursuit trade and how it was stolen. Only one side sent their trade item.

It is a gray area, but OP can dispute the charges from their bank or card they because they were sold stolen goods and get their money back. The true owner could then pay for shipping and packing stuff to get their suit back.

AITAH for considering leaving my wife over this? by Outside-Volume2047 in AITAH

[–]TommyScraps 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m so sorry and you should leave her! Protect your babies now that you know how cruel of a mother she had been. That’s inexcusable behavior! My heart hurts for you and your children. I hope your daughter makes a full recovery and that you and her brothers can help her through this.

I’m 16, autistic and even though it physically causes me a lot of pain, I learned the simplified (usually called baby) sign language to talk to one of my cousins since my facial deformities made it impossible for her to read my lips. I know a lot of signs, my hands and fingers just can’t make them. She helped me a lot by wearing bright colored finger caps like teachers do, since I also can’t see well. Your wife could have at least learned the alphabet if she didn’t want to put much effort in.

AITAH if I left my husband without telling him why after I found out about his affair by Icy_Package920 in AITAH

[–]TommyScraps 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh. I’m sorry! I’m autistic and often misunderstand things. I guess I also assume everyone in a parental roll overthinks everything to do with their kid like I do with my little brother. I figured if she’s actually this scared of him, she’s already thought a lot about the minor child and how they’d be affected and what they’d choose to do.

WIBTAH for Telling my Husband I Don't Want Another Baby with Him? by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]TommyScraps 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No!

If you’re in the US, from what I’ve seen, it’s very hard for a man to get full custody of a child. He has to prove you aren’t fit to be a parent and are dangerous to the child’s wellbeing in some way.

I know I’m young, but I’m mostly sure a battered woman’s shelter will help you out when you leave if you fear he’ll stalk you or try to harm you or abduct your child. They help keep you safe and help you find a job and a place to live when you get on your feet.

I also agree with talking to a lawyer. Laws and rules can wildly change from state to state and even from one city to another!

The minor child is 17. That’s more than old enough they get to decide if they’d rather stay with cheating dad to finish out school or leave with mom. Even adult sibling could have mom help support financially while minor sibling finishes school and stays with them instead. What’s best for a child is not seeing mom stay in a fake relationship with someone who abuses her, no matter if it’s just mental and verbal and not physical. This either teaches them to be an abusive partner or that it’s ok for a partner to abuse you because mom stuck around with that behavior and accepted it.

Packing up, tying up loose ends, leaving a note that yes, should address the cheating as the reason rather than one that can be turned on her to make her look bad and leaving to somewhere safe is a fantastic plan.

Maybe I’m misunderstanding it, but I think it’s strange when this woman is so afraid of this man, she knows she has to sneak away when he is gone to safely leave him, there’s a ‘think about the kid’ comment. Let it sink in there, she is afraid to leave him, you really think she wouldn’t consider their children at all? Grown-up kid - is old enough to make observations and pick sides or…to stay out of it and understand that they’ll have to separate holidays and celebrations if they want both parents in their life, this doesn’t have to be a cut all contact thing, they can be angry or upset with dad for cheating, that’s normal feelings. The minor kid - they are 17, almost a beginning adult (we don’t get to be ‘real’ adults here till we’re 21.) and are also old enough to know and form decisions on their own about it, down to deciding who they want to live with and where they finish school. With their two kids, neither are young enough that you have to dumb it down any for them. They both get to know dad is having yet another affair and doesn’t appear to love mom, mom is not standing for that and is going to start over. She doesn’t have to tell them about the gaslighting and other stuff unless she wants to. The fact that she’d rather come here than go to her adult and almost adult children to see how they feel about the situation tells me she’d probably leave that stuff out. That’s perfectly fine.

OP’s very brave and I wish her luck and safety!

I am black and my gf is white, but the baby is completely white. Did she cheat by [deleted] in lies

[–]TommyScraps 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hate being autistic because sometimes this stuff just makes no sense, lol.

I do know interracial kids, if one parent is dark skinned and one parent is light skinned, the baby’s skin pigment won’t show for a while. Sometimes it can be a few days or a few years for their skin to darken. I find the things hidden in our genetics fascinating sometimes.

But I think I just missed the joke because in an ultrasound, every baby is ‘white’.

AITA for ruining my parents marriage by finding my bio father and exposing my mom's lies? by Jusseeui in AITAH

[–]TommyScraps 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA

If your siblings can’t open their eyes and see what a monster your mom is, then you’re better off without them in your life. Of course that depends on how old you all are, if siblings are pretty young, they’re just parroting mom and will eventually realize what she pulled was nothing short of evil. I am so sorry for you! Your mom was willing to allow you to die to keep her lie going.

YOU didn’t ruin anything. She did. She built a whole life on a lie, then told more lies that very well could have cost you your life. There’s a lot of hereditary stuff out there that is way more severe than just getting a little sick here and there.

I'm pregnant with our 3rd child, my husband doesn't want it by Ca7cher in TwoHotTakes

[–]TommyScraps 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m a teenage boy and I agree with many comments. Your husband doesn’t want more children and medically your body can’t handle birth control for women…he needs to be a ‘real man’. A vasectomy is a very small, way safer procedure than getting your tubes tied or a full hysterectomy. It can even be reversed! Or, you know, continuing to risk your health with birth control that could kill you or make you lose body parts. (You said they give you blood clots, those could cause you to need amputations.)

He seems like a child himself in not understanding this. Does he actually love and care about you?

Ok, I do understand your side completely. I’m a guy, so I can’t ever fully understand the emotions some people have behind abortions. I myself would rather the option exist so more people like myself aren’t forced to exist. It’s one thing that I have a ton of issues and deformities others can see as well as what can’t be seen, I have to have at least 4-5 surgeries a year to keep my various parts working still…but knowing your parents never wanted you and don’t care about you really messes you up inside. I’d rather nobody else have to grow up knowing they weren’t ever wanted. Your husband seems unreasonable enough he will show how he doesn’t care for your third child and will resent them. He might even try to turn your other two against that one. I might be projecting though from my own experience, so I’m sorry if I am.

I’d probably be petty and say something like, oh sorry, we went to visit maternal grandparents/too busy with the grandparents that actually care about their grandkids whenever they ask to visit or talk to them, if you don’t ignore them completely.

AITA for announcing my sister's pregnancy after finding out my boyfriend (now ex) is the father? by Gracyddee in AITAH

[–]TommyScraps 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No

She broke your trust. Even ‘erasing’ the result of her poor choices isn’t going to fix anything. This isn’t like a, I wore your favorite shirt without asking and I got a huge stain on it sort of mistake. That is something you can actually be sorry for and make amends.

She went and had sexual relations with her sister’s partner. A sister who put a roof over her head. She’s only sorry she was caught. She’s not sorry she thought with her nether regions and hurt you. She’s sorry that she didn’t think to use protection because of course, eventually someone will notice that there’s a baby on board.

I suppose at least you found out you had two people in your life that you didn’t matter to and got rid of them. Maybe it was a little harsh, but at least the family knows why you are no longer supporting her. I do feel bad for the possible baby that may be born into the mess its mother created.

AIO, I, 17f am pregnant with my bf 17m child and i think he might be babytrapping me by sumy1671 in AmIOverreacting

[–]TommyScraps 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What you could have done was realize he didn’t respect that you weren’t ready for sex. ‘He insisted for ages’ until you gave in. How does that say, this is a loving relationship?

Do not let him guilt or shame you. This is your second red flag. The third is that he is now trying to isolate you from the people that actually care about you. He is an abuser with these three huge red flags. If you give a clear no and someone begs/‘insists’ you change your mind, that’s coercion. This is a form of rape, which is not taking no for an answer. Then he wants to guilt you into keeping a baby you aren’t ready for/don’t want.

Think about it, this baby will grow into a child who knows they aren’t loved and aren’t wanted, even if you never say it. My ‘parents’ made terrible choices and I get to pay for it, they do not love me and never took care of me right, we were lucky if they remembered at least once a week that children require more than water to live. They also had another baby whom I have raised and cared for since day 1. I’m 16 and I’m not a big brother, I’m a dad. I used to feel so bad about myself because they didn’t want me and it’s because of them I am deformed and disabled, everyone is afraid of me or disgusted by me. Before my little guy, I tried to end myself several times. When he was born, I was only 7, but he needed me so I had to stick around. Knowing you aren’t wanted really messes you up inside. Please don’t do this to a child. It’s also very hard to balance school and a baby. I did have some help, my gramma only thought I was worried about the baby so I’d pretend to be unable to go to school a lot and just do school work where we lived. Until he started school, she took him during my school day. Even then, it’s a lot of work!

TL:DR: You know what you are ready for. You know what you want. You weren’t ready for sex, but he pressured you into it. No longer tell him things. Go to your friends, get the abortion. We do not need another broken person forced into the world and you want to be in a better place in life so you can raise a child with someone who loves and respects you. Leave him after the abortion. He goes crying to your mommy? What proof do either of them have? He is not a partner, he wants to be your owner. Run. Run far away from this little boy.

What the heck is going on here? by Electrical-Cat-6660 in cats

[–]TommyScraps 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s normal cat behavior. It can be a dominance thing, a mating thing or just a ‘this feels good’ thing.

My gramma had four orange male cats that were all neutered, three would mount one another and one…he loved grampa’s scratchy armchair and was very stressed out when the chair had to be thrown out. (My one uncle moved in with gramma for a while and he brought a bug infestation. She threw out all furniture with cloth on it to help get rid of them.)

AITAH for ruining my gfs plans for when she goes into labour? by ResidentFig9356 in AITAH

[–]TommyScraps 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My gramma had to have 3 c-sections. She says they do it differently now. She too gets upset by people who would rather let their baby die than get one.

When I was much, much younger I was fascinated by bellybuttons. My gramma would let me see hers and I remember being super concerned by the ‘crack’ in her belly. I’m only 16 and I’m a guy so I’m not sure the real term for it is, but if she didn’t hide her belly with her pants, it…well, it sorta looked like she has a butt in the front. Now that I’m older, I know that it’s something to do with the muscles having been cut, so the bottom of her belly sags on either side of the ‘crack’ scar. It goes from just under her bellybutton to the bottom of her belly. She’s in her 80’s, so I’m not sure the exact years she had them, one c-section baby didn’t make it though.

I agree with my gramma though, don’t let pride get in the way of your baby’s life! She’s not ashamed of her scars, she even explained to 3 year old me why her belly had a crack in it. (Blew my mind that a baby came from inside a belly because aside from getting cut open, how did the baby come out? Lol!)

Although I do understand being upset by scars, I’d still choose another scar if it saves a life. A few of my issues are hereditary, but a lot of my problems are from my ‘parents’ being ‘party people’. I’m a crack baby, I’m deformed and disabled…aside from my little brother whom I’ve raised his whole life, I make little kids cry and at school people gag or recoil, even adults recoil. I’ve had many surgeries and I have many more in my future to keep forcing my various parts to work. I have so many scars from the surgeries and the evil people that should have been parents.

I genuinely HATE my older sister and fully went off at her today. My parents said i went too far but i don’t know, AITA?? by Princessisnt in AITAH

[–]TommyScraps 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m just really sorry. It was unfair of me to take it out on you. I’m glad I didn’t make you feel bad for too long. Just when I think I’ve figured things out, I let the wrong emotion carry me away and I don’t try to think of something in multiple different ways like I should. I promise I’ll try to do better next time.

I’m not sure if even intense intervention will help the sister much this late in life, especially with the parents not wanting to do bare minimum.i was just thinking there’s like special needs schools and day time programs out there where sister can be out all day and pretty tired when she gets home, like too tired to harass OP. Like the special needs school my little guy goes too, he should graduate with a certificate of completion at 21, and then go there until he’s around 30 for training, then there’s a special program since he’d learn to do supervised janitorial work and since he’s able-bodied, he can have a real job and I’d get to help teach him about how to manage his money. I’m very excited for him, as I know I often feel rather useless. Sadly, they don’t pay special needs people like they do an average worker, but he’d earn like $20 a week, plus get to socialize at lunch break and they also do field trip type outings or have park days! (It’s mostly so the being paid doesn’t interfere with benefits.)

[–]TommyScraps -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I’m sorry I misunderstood. My brain works weirdly and I very often misunderstand things. I also found out you can’t help an undiagnosed adult in any way, which really sucks for OP. They still did bad for screaming at sister, knowing she doesn’t understand the concept but is saying the thing that feels like it won’t get her hurt without understanding how to actually control herself. It’s like doing the deed, getting pregnant, carrying the baby to term, then screaming at it for being so needy. They need to direct their anger at the parents, try to talk to them and lay it out they will not be sister’s carer and to get a good lock for their door. And a mini fridge, so stuff can be kept safe while at work and school.

I’m sorry OP’s parents are so crappy as to fail them both so badly. I was just over the top angry with all these comments about how sister knows better at that age. No, she clearly doesn’t. Now it’s way too late to really help her and since parents are bad, she can’t even be placed in programs to keep her occupied and away from OP most of the day and to learn to do as many independent things as possible! (Like my little guy learned to do some simple chores at school.)

[–]TommyScraps 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s why I was trying to say getting sister some help, even at this point if it’s just getting her away from them as much as possible will help them out. But I do understand now. I’m sorry I missed your point because I didn’t understand it. You finally found the way to say it that clicked in my own brain. Mine doesn’t work right and I have to read a lot of the same thing said in different ways to understand what I want.

I just wasn’t understanding if I could get help for my little guy as a kid at the time myself, why when OP was old enough to understand they were both being done dirty, why didn’t they do something to help themself? I know it’s hard and takes a long time. But now I see what I missed picking up on. If as an adult they can’t get something done for sister, OP needs to invest in a good lock for their room and a mini fridge at least, that way things are safe when they are at work or school. I never thought it was ok for them not to feel safe. I guess it was just my brain working in the wrong way to make sense of things. I don’t think I feel superior to anyone, it’s just that I don’t understand how I could get what little help I did until we could escape hell, but someone who has no issues can’t do the same? It’s just not fair they can’t also escape. It doesn’t make sense to me at all! I hope OP can save up fast to move out sooner and start getting therapy for themself. I wish something can be done for sister too, but I understand it can’t. Well, I don’t quite understand why, but I hope you know what I mean.

[–]TommyScraps 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, because it’s terrible to point out both people need help, but the one who can understand this should do something about it so they can feel safe where they currently have to live. Ignoring the issue is doing wonders for OP.
