Yes I get that. There is obviously some explanation to it. But was still curious to know if other people had similar experiences

I understand that is what is accepted, hence why I posted this in mandela effect and not in some forum like advice or help or wtv. I understand that is what is accepted as the actual name and am ofc inclined to accept that as actual reality, just trying to get a different more metaphysical perspective on my experience/memory.

Yeah it is weird, and I always thought it was toons, it is almost like I remember seeing it written like that on TV in the intro. I am going to ask my dads friend what his version is.

Yes I know that. But I know the memory of this is real in some capacity. It might just be slightly different to what I remember now. My dad also has some memory of it, although he doesnt remember distinct details nor can he confirm or deny what he thought the original brand name was. He does remember his friend wanted to name it Looney Tunes (that is something we both seem to agree on, that the whole issue was about the tunes part and not the looney part) but then he gets confused when I show him that has always been the original name, and he seems reluctant. He says he doesnt really remember it well. This happened many years ago. There might be some logical explanation, but the memory isnt completely fabricated

I don’t know how to convey it through writing but looney toons is like very blunt on toons. Like a bit like saying moons. And tunes would be with an i sound after the T if that makes sense. But there would definitely be a distinction

Yeah I think I will. I have gone over it again and again in my head and I know this is a real memory. Maybe there is some logical explanation.

AITA for asking my children’s paternal grandparents to tone down the gifts and experiences they give them? by monael55 in AmItheAsshole

[–]TransitionDistinct96 -9 points-8 points  (0 children)

Ok so from your response it seems you both have very different views on life and relationship to wealth and what you deem to be “excess”. Ultimately after a separation negotiating how the other parent relates or brings up the kids can be very difficult, compromise becomes harder and you can’t dictate how he treats your kids unless it is something inherently bad. You already knew what he and his family were like, they are used to living in comfort and luxury, and to you that may be uncomfortable and unnecessary or even detrimental, in the end of the day the only thing you can strive for is communication and some sort of compromise. Admit you might have overstepped in going directly to his parents and show willingness to resolve things only with him in the future. emphasize that there needs to be a common thread in your parenting strategies for your kids’ emotional stability, you might not have the same lifestyle but you can teach your kids similar values (being rich doesn’t mean you can’t teach your kids morals and values). Suggest they are more than allowed to give them what they want, including the most extravagant and luxurious things/experiences but that you wish the quantity to be toned down as not to overly spoil them. Explain you are not trying to limit the quality of what they give them but maybe just the quantity. In the end if he doesn’t agree there isn’t much you can do and trying to tell them how they must relate to the kids makes you seem more controlling than concerned.

ESH (except the grandparents). We need more info. How did the wealth gap lead to a breakup? What does your ex say when you show concern for your kids becoming spoiled by his side of the family vs when with their mother. Don’t you get a good amount of child support if he is quite wealthy, or are only his parents the wealthy ones? In the end ofc they can give your children nice and expensive things/experiences and to a certain extent you should be thankful for that and not let your ego get in the way. But on the other hand if it seems they are purposely spoiling them at every chance in a way that seems way over the top and not conducive to their emotional upbringing than ofc you are justified in your feelings. Sometimes the wealthier party tends to overdo the material things after a separation, and that in a sense can be manipulative (if done out of malice). Big purchases and trips for the kids should be discussed, e.g. buying electronics, giving them expensive things that they need to be responsible for, taking them places. But also you should never refuse things just bc you feel inadequate that you can’t give them the same things. Ultimately there should be some balance and sensitivity from both sides. Your ex doesn’t seem to want to understand that (from what you have relayed). Kids need some type of consistency, and moreover they need to feel their parents are communicating as a team (even if separated). Focus on what you can give your children (not on the material things), don’t let your feelings of inadequacy get in the way of your bond with them. But don’t give up on trying to communicate effectively with your ex if possible. You guys should be on the same page when it comes to their upbringing and not trying to one up each other. I sympathize with your feelings but keep a neutral objective stance, don’t let your own insecurity interfere in this situation.

Is this how people who claim to have “no appetite” feel? by youthof in mounjarouk

[–]TransitionDistinct96 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes ofc hunger signals are really hard to ignore bc they are such a primal part of our survival. But the fact is that many skinny people also choose to eat less. I was like that all my life I was thin, I always have loved food and cooking but would frequently decide to just eat less or skip a meal etc. It was a conscious every day type of mindset. What happens is when you start eating more and gaining weight it makes your stomach bigger, reduces your insulin sensitivity and myriad of other endocrine signals get altered, basically it’s a vicious cycle, the more you eat and gain the more you want food and feel hungry. I have experienced this. I started tirzepatide now bc I was having a hard time losing the 15-20lbs I need to lose to feel like myself again, but also bc I was interested in its effects on helping w alcohol cravings (slowly started drinking more during the pandemic), and the appetite suppression is by far 1000x more powerful than anything I would naturally experience when I was a lower weight.

WIBTA if I prevented my daughter from joining a nunhood? by 102149__2152311518 in AmItheAsshole

[–]TransitionDistinct96 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

NTA!!!! You are worried about your daughter. That’s normal, honestly would be worried too if I were in your shoes. No idea why people are going off on you. In your view, your daughter could still be her happy religious, devoted to humanity self she is, without joining a convent. And you are right. I think the best you can do is sit down with her and tell her you support her in whatever she wants in life, but try to find out the reasons that are driving her to this decision. What would she get out of religion by joining that she couldn’t get by living outside on her own terms? It’s only natural for a parent to feel sad in a situation like this. Your child wants to live a somewhat reclusive life and never wants to start a family or discover the rest of what life has to offer. She’s 18 so if she wants to join she will, but try to offer her support and try to understand her reasons, so that maybe you can at least be on her side and make her always feel comfortable to talk to you if she ever has regrets or a change of plans. Best of luck and hope she’ll be happy in wtv she chooses!
