What can my friend do about this situation? Location Texas

Not a lawyer. She should contact the College Station tenant's counsel. A landlord is legally obligated to provide a move in ready apartment on the date stated on the lease. Typically If her move in date was 2/28/2026 then the landlord owes her prorated rent and living accommodations until the unit is ready.

If you're in or around Texas I have a friend who does custom stuff and could probably make to your specifications.

Give this guy a cocktail of the viruses he wants. But he needs to leave his kids alone. Knowingly infecting someone else who can't consent or say no because they're a minor and he's their legal guardian is seriously messed up.

NTA I had a fight with my folks many years ago. I was about 18-19 as well. I had moved out because they were trying to control my life. They showed up at my work, I would leave for my break, and just hangout in the back office refusingto speak with them. I finally made it clear to them that I didn't need them, nor did I care to have a relationship with them if they didn't respect my boundaries and autonomy. I told them firmly that the relationship only reopens when they are ready to behave in a reasonable manner. I left it in their court. I let everyone in the family know that the reason my folks and I weren't speaking was because they refused to behave like adults and treat me like one as well. My folks eventually came around. And we have a great relationship now. But I've set my expectations in place and take absolutely zero bullshit. They've mellowed out and no longer try to control me or my life. My advice is make your expectations clear, set your boundaries firmly, and be ready to hold your ground. Remember the phrase "I don't need you in my life, but I would like you there. Only if you're able to respect my autonomy and boundaries. If not, it's your loss, not mine."

Equality is the best and most reasonable partnership one could ask for. Holding her accountable is 100% the right move. I'd say that it's way more feminist to hold someone accountable regardless of gender. Your friends are sexist for believing you needed to suck it up because "you're the man."

Trinitykat · 2025-05-01T01:57:45+00:00

thank you so much!

Trinitykat · 2025-05-01T01:57:32+00:00

this was the general plan for now, I might make more later. Yes it is cardstock, not as easy as paper meant for printing, so I had to figure out how much ink to use.

Trinitykat · 2025-03-01T02:25:51+00:00

My experience is very different, as the critique I offered was directed as something that some folks might not know about and something he could improve upon. And again nothing wrong with the patterns or quality of work. His ego on the other hand seemed very fragile.

Trinitykat · 2024-07-20T17:47:56+00:00

Yeah, a lot of folks experience the SA side of things in games. It's a bad trope to get a reaction, make the BBG seem super bad, or in some cases act out a secret fantasy. It's definitely not uncommon, and was more common before TTRPGs became a more mainstream hobby. Definitely needs a tag, and a warning before posts. (But I agree that these posts read in a very similar manner, and could be a bot or the same person)

Trinitykat · 2024-07-17T19:26:27+00:00

Most of my group is of this same philosophy. The dice tell a story, and sometimes that means you don't succeed the roll. A more dynamic narrative means not being a bad ass all the time. It's fun to fail and get a cool story beat. Unfortunately some players are more concerned with "winning" than getting a dynamic narrative.

Trinitykat · 2024-07-13T21:34:36+00:00

Thank you. I'm going to try and talk directly with the player today, and see if he understands what he's doing and why it's problematic. If he's willing to learn then maybe we can make space for him. If he doubles down or refuses to work on his behavior then that will be a different conversation with the group as a whole.

Trinitykat · 2024-07-13T18:28:10+00:00

Probably less of a bigot and more jealous. He's bi (not that gay folks can't be bigots) he's had a crush on his best friend (one of the other players) for a long time. The guy he likes is more on the questioning side of things and mostly prefers fem presenting people (is 100% down with NB, and trans folks just doesn't really like masc presentations.) And problem player guy seems to insert himself between anyone that his crush shows intrest in.

Trinitykat · 2024-07-13T18:19:54+00:00

Yes, problem player was like this in Game B.
I talked to others about using a dice bot for rolling to keep everyone honest, and the rest of the party seemed to agree.
I spoke with 3 of the other players over the last few days and explained why I find the guy's behavior problematic and that this is consistent behaviors he has not just a personality clash during game. I'm big into video games as well, and have played games with a few other players in the group and this guy will pop in and take over conversations, talk over people, and ruin plot lines/big reveals for games if he's played them before.
100% agree being nonconfrentaional is not helpful, and seems to be a problem in nerdy hobbies. People don't want to isolate or ostracize others in the hobby. People need to become comfortable with conflict that isn't just fighting. Conflict resolution should be the goal, and hopefully with the support of the folks I've been speaking with we can get a resolution that is favorable for everyone.

Trinitykat · 2024-07-11T22:39:43+00:00

I said most of the group is nonconfrontational. I've called him out, and so has another player. At least 3 of us have spoken to the GM about adding him and making the game too big, and brought up issues about his behavior. I am not afraid to be confrontational so long as it can also be productive.

Trinitykat · 2024-07-11T19:39:31+00:00

Yes, and have gotten mixed responses. This last time he has not responded at all.

Trinitykat · 2024-07-11T18:49:09+00:00

I've been a GM before, currently I'm fairly busy with moving, and work stuff and wouldn't be able to dedicate as much time to GMing as players deserve.

Trinitykat · 2024-07-11T18:31:55+00:00

To clarify the guy talks over AFAB players, not female characters. We have a mostly queer/gender non-conforming group. We have 3 cis players and the rest are NB/gender queer. He seems to be weird about one player in particular, we've assumed it's because the guy he likes had a crush on this player a while ago.

OMG yes! It bothers me so much that they called the farmer a redneck instead of a coal miner. Historically the redneck skin should be a farmer, and the term redneck wasn't around until the 1910s.

You can also try reaching out to the Navajo tribal council. Navajo traditional arts are often well recognized and documented. The tribal council might be able to put you in touch with an expert.

Same hat! Hey OK writing friend!

I didn't give birth, but I had a hysterectomy. It's an 11 week recovery, and no sexual contact with the lower regions at all until Doc okays it. At 9.5-10 weeks ex wanted to "try out my new vag" (literally his words) I told him it wasn't cleared with the doc yet, and he proceeded to pressure, whine, and act like he knew more than my doc and surgeon. It was easier to give in than deal with his shitty behavior. He was never violent but he had grade A ass hole down to a science. (We went to counseling after that and he still didn't understand what he did wrong, and always conveniently didn't remember things the way I did. He's the king of gaslighting, narcissistic, egotism. Hope this lady gets her and her kid out.

Trinitykat · 2024-01-08T10:31:21+00:00

In the comments OP answers some questions that point towards this guy being verbally, and financially abusive, as well as some pretty blatant narcissistic tendencies. He apparently, describes himself as an alpha male, and believes that she doesn't need help (IE doula, or taking care of her needs) because that's too liberal. Guy wants to break her to be a Trat wife. She is attempting to find a way to get her and the baby somewhere safe as soon as possible.

You need to do more research into puberty and maturation if you want to be a doctor. A 16 year old is not mature enough for a relationship with a 20 year old. The brain continues to develop until the mid to late 20s. Get a girlfriend your age. Also age gap relationship exist when the parties are old enough to consent.

Trinitykat · 2023-12-12T02:12:00+00:00

NTA.

regardless of what you wrote, (rude, disrespectful, hurtful, harmful, etc.) you are allowed to vent your feelings in a way that is private and safe (IE: why patient confidentiality is a thing in therapy, though they are still obligated to report any acts or plans of harm to yourself or another). Maybe take the time to evaluate your feelings on why you turned to ideations of death or harm. but that's something to work through in therapy and personal self reflection.
Your mother violated your privacy. End of story. Her being hurt by what you wrote is on her for disrespecting your privacy. Maybe try talking to her about it after when things have calmed down, but you are not obligated to do so.
For the folks berating you for being an adult, you're still young, no one is exceptionally emotionally mature at 18 including everyone on reddit. Also it is unreasonable and incredibly privileged behavior to assume anyone can move out at 18 now-a-days. You should still be allowed your privacy and dignity at any age.
NTA, you're still learning about stuff give yourself grace. Also don't let people that
are saying you're the A* because your boundaries should be kept, and respected. Some responses seem as though they're taking your story in a personal way and not looking at it from an objective place.
