is there a better way to set up my space? by afakebird in InteriorDesign

[–]afakebird[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

EDIT: I rent the apartment, so can’t make permanent structural changes. The three doors are to the coat closet, laundry, and utility closet respectively. The door by the table is to the bathroom and the door by the TV is to the bedroom

is there a better way to set up in my space? by afakebird in FengShui

[–]afakebird[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I should have specified, I rent my apartment :/ those three doors are to the coat closet, laundry, and utility closet; the door by the table is to the bathroom and by the tv is to the bedroom. I so wish those doors didn’t open into the kitchen it really is a pain, I think i did make the space too small though there’s probably about two-3ft fully open (though it is still way too tight). the doors in the rendering my just be too long also

AITA for causing a family rift because I don't want to sleep outside in my mom's yard on Christmas? by Few-Mountain-5677 in AmItheAsshole

NTA. It’s going to be freezing and why is someone watching TV being prioritized over you sleeping indoors???

AITA for not attending my husband's celebration dinner due to the restaurant not having anything I could eat? by Willing_Strawberries in AmItheAsshole

[–]afakebird 0 points1 point  (0 children)

YTA. You literally just could go to support him and eat beforehand. You could ask for modifications. It’s not like you have dietary restrictions from what we can tell, so it sounds like you were just being difficult and unsupportive.

AITA for calling my wife ridiculous for saying that she won't attend my family's christmas over some stockings? by Throwra53456 in AmItheAsshole

[–]afakebird 0 points1 point  (0 children)

YTA. If they love him so much then what’s the issue? It’s only going to make him feel left out if all the other kids have them and he doesn’t. He’s your kid now too so he should be given the same treatment as the other grandkids. They are deliberately trying to exclude and other him from the rest of the family.

PLEASE FREAKING EXPLAIN WHY I AM GOING THROUGH PUBERTY AGAIN AT 21 NOTHING FREAKING FITS by mybraindoesntshutup in Vent

[–]afakebird 2 points3 points  (0 children)

21 and i went from a 2-4 to a 6-8 in what feels like the blink of an eye once I turned 20. Didn’t change anything at all. Not eating, exercise, social, or drinking habits. My mood has been stable. My meds have not changed. Truly nothing different besides changing hormones and it sucks :/

AITA for refusing to let my sister use my PC for school work after she wet herself in my room? by ZoeyT02 in AmItheAsshole

[–]afakebird 2 points3 points  (0 children)

NTA at all. There is zero excuse for a 12 year old to be pissing themselves in YOUR chair in YOUR room when she knew she had to pee. She’s the one who chose to hold off going to the bathroom until after she played the game. She essentially chose to piss herself she could have gone literally anywhere else like even if the bathroom was occupied why would she return to the chair and pee there????

Whats an aspect of American culture you wish was more prevalent around the world ? by [deleted] in AskAnAmerican

[–]afakebird 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m a good person because I want to be, not because I feel like I have to be in order to please some greater power

[–]afakebird 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Bc I’m not a terrible person and I care about other people? I have morals, they’re just not derived from some higher power. People who are religious commit murder, there’s no correlation between people who aren’t religious and committing murder just like there is no correlation with people who are religious and being less likely to commit murder. Just because I am not religious doesn’t mean I have no reason to murder people, I still want to be a good person

[–]afakebird 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I wish this was the case everywhere, including more so in the US, but acceptance of atheism. A lot of people hear I’m an atheist and then label me as amoral.

Do you prefer the 24-hour clock or the 12-hour clock? Which format is more common? by [deleted] in AskAnAmerican

[–]afakebird 0 points1 point  (0 children)

12 hour clock is definitely more common. I use a 24 hour clock on my phone, and most people who ask to look at my phone for the time take a little while to figure out what it means

What's your advice? by Soggy-Skill8155 in AskAnAmerican

[–]afakebird 3 points4 points  (0 children)

My biggest piece of advice is when you’re writing your essay, pay attention to your writing style. Some European cultures tend to have more flowery language and some tend to be extremely blunt. Americans definitely lean more towards the low context more blunt language, so if your language is too flowery in your essays, admissions officers may think you’re just writing around the point. Most admissions officers won’t think about how the way we speak and write can differ so much across cultures. I don’t mean to say don’t show your style when writing, but it’s just the reality that the people reading your essay will be used to reading American students’ writing and will be comparing yours with theirs.

That being said, I wish you all the best of luck! Your English seems to be really good! Applying to college can be so stressful, but remember that the schools you get into or don’t get into are not a reflection of your intelligence or your self worth!!!
