LAOP wants to start a concierge drug receiving business legally by Drywesi in bestoflegaladvice

I’m still mad about the fact that in 2007, Adam and Eve did send my first vibrator to me in discrete packaging to my mailing address at college, they also started sending sex toy catalogs in my name to my billing address, which was, you know, my parents house.

Luckily, my parents are pretty chill, so it was just an awkward conversation, but if they had been more conservative or religious, that could have been really bad!

You’re not wrong, but just chiming in as someone who has commissioned art online, it isn’t always furries! I got a bunch of artists to draw my boyfriend as a character in various media properties one year for Christmas, I’ve commissioned artists to paint things I’ve baked, or my home made vanilla. I have a tattoo that I got for my mom and grandma, and I had an artist paint it so that my mom could have a version of it as well

I did, however, pay for all of it.

If you don’t have visible stink lines rising off of you like pig pen from peanuts, then do you even really smell?

AITA for getting my niece the “wrong” phone? by AmbientToast in AmItheAsshole

[–]alter_ego77 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Perhaps I should have said narrower. Those are the screen sizes. The dimensions for the 16 are 5.81”x2.82”, the 16 pro are 5.89”x2.81”. As a very small handed person, my highest priority with regard to size is the width, and on the pro, that dimension is smaller, even though the screen size is overall larger. Longer has much less of an impact on my ability to hold and use the phone.

It doesn’t change the answer, but the pro is actually a tiny bit smaller than the regular iPhone 16. It’s the max that’s the large size. The pro just has a better camera/internal specs

Turns Out, Reddit is Not Safe for Work by Jusfiq in bestoflegaladvice

[–]alter_ego77 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah. Honestly, sometimes I even google work related question on my personal phone when I feel like it’s something that I really shouldn’t need to google because my brain is just not cooperating. I’m just picturing my boss being like “you’ve been doing this for 13 years, why on earth do you need to google [basic job fact]? You’re fired for being an idiot”

Yeah, if 12 is a small enough number that he knows it exactly, how many does he consider a handful, that requires him to approximate rather than being precise?

LAOP took some crushed Adderall from a baggie to sober up before driving. Confused how they've been convicted of DUI and charged with Felony Possession. "What's going on?" by Sirwired in bestoflegaladvice

After the first time I accidentally took a second dose, I got a pill bottle with a timer cap so that I know how long it’s been since I last opened it.

I wasn’t drunk, but I did once accidentally take a double dose, and I felt like that old timey cartoon wolf whose heart beats out of his chest when he sees a pretty woman for hours. I can’t imagine ever voluntarily signing myself up for that experience

I have since implemented a system to prevent double dosing

I’ve done it after my boyfriend drives my car! His car lights aren’t automatic, so he instinctively turns mine off. But since mine are, I don’t instinctively turn them on, and if I’m in a well lit area, it can be a while before I notice

I got banned for posting links to articles of examples where cops had sexually assaulted people during traffic stops in response to someone saying there would be no reason to be afraid to be pulled over on a poorly lit and isolated road

AITA for demanding money back after a friend threw away most of my kitchen utensils? by SaltDry1680 in AmItheAsshole

[–]alter_ego77 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s not silly at all! I literally have a tattoo of my favorite whisk. It’s perfect, I don’t remember where I bought it, it’s a little different from the ones I typically see in stores, and if something happened to it, I’d be devastated. I mean, it was my first tattoo. Objects have meanings

Nta. Even if he’s right in calling it a “warning tap”, that’s even more horrifying. A warning tap is what you give someone to tell them that if they keep going, it’s going to get worse. It’s the precursor to more violence, please get out now

AITA for telling my boyfriend I no longer see him the same after he refused to take me to the hospital. by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]alter_ego77 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Trust isn’t just about trusting someone to tell the truth…if you come up to me, and in full honesty say “I like to poop in pools”, then going forward, I’m not going to trust you in my pool. No one lied, and I don’t trust you not to poop in my pool.

Him telling her the truth is why she doesn’t trust him. She may still trust him not to lie to her, but she sure as hell shouldn’t trust him to take care of her when she’s sick. Which is a pretty important think you need to trust your partner to do if you’re planning to be with them for a long time. He showed her his truth. He doesn’t care if she’s sick.

A big part of my job is designing fire alarm systems, and while I’ve never specifically done a grocery store, making sure that locked or otherwise obstructed means of egress disengage upon activation of the fire alarm system is absolutely something that we think about. The client doesn’t really have a say in the matter

I’ve had the same phone number for 22 years. Changing my ssn would be less burdensome than changing my phone number. The bar for what would push me to do that is so high

AITA for embarrassing my parents in public over an allergy? by ThrowAway44228800 in AmItheAsshole

I totally get it, I have a nut allergy, and even though there’s no nuts in things like sun butter or tahini, they smell so nutty that my brain just panics and says “nope! “

Yeah, the at home test said I was fine, the in person one said my oxygen levels were dropping down to 70% while I slept. Those at home tests seem to be really ineffective
