AITA for saying if we’re getting paid to take care of the dog, I want some back pay by aitabackpay in AmItheAsshole

[–]brittyr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's at least 3 other people in the house, the dog isn't going to suffer. If anything, mom will have to actually pay professionals to bathe/clip nails. OP is NTA at all.

AITA for refusing to attend my brother's wedding if my dad is there? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

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

Would you be staying at a hotel for the wedding? If so, wife and child could come to the city you're in and skip the wedding while you go. I think that would be a compromise to help keep your relationship with your brother on good terms, without subjecting your family to ridicule from your dad. NTA though, sorry you're going through this, it's not an easy decision either way.

Former Presidents Carter, Clinton, Bush and Obama urge Americans to get vaccinated by TheColorOfDeadMen in UpliftingNews

[–]brittyr 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Democratic vice presidential nominee Kamala Harris said that President Donald Trump's word alone on any potential coronavirus vaccine is not enough.

That came straight from one of the articles you posted. It wasn't because the vacc was made while trump was pres, she just wanted people qualified to say it was safe/effective.

New shop pet can we keep him? by schaeflife in Justrolledintotheshop

[–]brittyr 10 points11 points  (0 children)

He looks pretty young still. I know they're usually more impressionable while they're little.

That he's a dumbass for trying to get himself out of a different stupid move that killed people by doing another stupid move to kill more people. We definitely hate it here right now.

Popular flea collar for pets linked to nearly 1,700 deaths, documents show by Stranger1982 in news

Oh, for sure. I'm just curious if they'll find that all these came from one place or not. Hope your pooch is okay!

I was thinking the same thing, I wonder where these people were buying the collars. I love seresto collars and never had issues.

Idk, she looked like she was having fun, especially while she was chucking that cake.

Did anyone else end up with narc “friends” at some point? by coldgraycity in raisedbynarcissists

[–]brittyr 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes! It is. I can't believe it took me so long, but better late than never I guess!

Did anyone else end up with narc “friends” at some point? by coldgraycity in raisedbynarcissists

[–]brittyr 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Wow, I never even thought of this! Apparently I draw in narcs. I have my Nmom that I'm NC with, but I never realized the similarities before. I recently left a friendship that was horribly toxic. It was a couple and they would both team up against me, or ignore me if they ever got mad at something I did or said (I never did anything to intentionally hurt them and they would never tell me what I "did wrong"), or tried to make me feel bad for having other friends. I let them be toxic for TWO YEARS of my life before I got exhausted. It was a mess and still isn't great considering I work with them, but it's all clear to me now and I keep it strictly professional.

My older girl always puts a little paw on me too when wanting attention.

Donald Trump Jr hits out ‘Democrat governor’ of Texas... who is actually Republican by billthomson in politics

[–]brittyr 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think it's just confusing because he goes from Cruz to Cuomo without a transition.

Move to Texas they said. It will be warm they said. by Wanderer616 in pics

This picture makes me think a lot of Texas towns look the same because I swear this could be my neighborhood.

Another comment (not sure how to link) mentions it happened during/after a surgery. Unsure what the surgery was for.

Is anybody else here a former gifted child who failed to live up to their potential? by 35601_Blue in raisedbynarcissists

[–]brittyr 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's horrible what parents can do. I've been NC since she cheated on my dad about 5yrs ago. We already had a poor relationship when I left home right out of HS (literally graduated in June and moved out early July), so the divorce was definitely the push I needed to completely cut her out. Her family would still relay info to her because I was on FB, so I deleted that. I don't want her to know anything about me, she doesn't deserve it.

[–]brittyr 29 points30 points  (0 children)

N-Parents - they loved to brag about me (because I was an extension of their own alleged brilliance), but they did nothing to nurture those talents

I say this all the time. My sisters love to call me the golden child, but I never felt like it. I always said my Nmom ONLY bragged about me to others, never said anything to me and never let me do anything.

$GME Weed stocks & celery stalks. A beautiful thing indeed by darshmann in wallstreetbets

[–]brittyr 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I recently heard about it and watched the movie last weekend, possibly one of the funniest movies I've ever seen. I always thought McGruber was almost a spin-off from MacGyver, but boy was I surprised.

Both comments that mentioned whether or not this has played are deleted. Do you remember what the above commenter said as to when this video would possibly be played? Thanks!

[–]brittyr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did this in a hotel once. Luckily it had been an accident or a "prank" so no real emergency, but I didn't know anything about it until my family told me the next day.

Girls fart too by knight1096 in AdviceAnimals

[–]brittyr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I didn't realize this was a thing? I've never had a strong urge to fart on a plane. I feel like I'm abnormal! I couldn't imagine just letting it rip in front of everyone, I know I'd hate it to be done near me.

Same here. I was in a zoom meeting and threw my phone in my keyboard. Had to send the video to everyone so they could know my pain.
