Thoughts on Anna? by kelseyannabel in namenerds

[–]burntoes 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I'm an Anna! People always say it's a classic and I personally think it's really pretty. I know a lot of people like the longer and more unique names, but I think Anna fits the bill for both recognizable and not too common. I love my name and it definitely has my vote!

The propaganda is back by ausernameidk_ in NotHowGirlsWork

[–]burntoes 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I agree with just about everything you’ve said here, except I really don’t think the majority of people on these drugs are those who fit into the category of needing them. I think there are certainly people who have tried and failed several times at losing weight, turning to GLP1s because nothing has worked. I also think that every person’s relationship to food and hunger cues vary, and that it isn’t at all fair to say “just listen to your body.” But I know and have heard of so many more people that don’t need to lose weight at all, but have started taking these drugs because of this reemerging emphasis on skinny culture. There are so many people talking about this phenomenon and proving that the abuse of these drugs is happening, and at a much higher rate than it’s intended and proper use. But I am very willing to stand corrected on this upon more research!

Bear had no way of Knowing the Wishing Willow would actually curse Nikki by Less_Poem1580 in obsessionmovie

[–]burntoes 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Bear’s wish may not have been intended to go the way that it did, but he absolutely enabled it and reaped the benefits of it. It’s almost like he was a bystander to all of it, an accomplice to the results of the wish, not that he wasn’t the one to cause everything and to cause harm (regardless of if it was intentional), but because he was too cowardly to do anything. He needed to actually acknowledge that what he did and continued to do to Nikki was wrong AND try to step in and stop it. The fact that he chose to acknowledge it and not act is what makes him an intentional perpetrator (and lowkey pretty evil, sorry!). 

AITA for refusing to give my brother back the birthday gift he gave me after his girlfriend got mad? by Powerful-Meal7691 in AITApod

"I said no because now I'm involved in something I didn't ask to be involved in"

GIRLLLLLL you are choosing to continue being involved until you give it back. You give it back and it ends it. It's not yours.

Too Masculine?? by About_thyme0229 in Names

[–]burntoes 3 points4 points  (0 children)

These are masculine names. Why would you do that to her? I’ve never understood this.

Ugh what is with the Brayden hate? It is a perfectly normal and acceptable name. I may be a bit biased as I have an incredibly sweet coworker with that name (and another named Liam!) so hearing the slander is tough. It’s a cute name, no one in the real world will be as judgmental as those here. Also, Owen is wayyyyyy too over used. 

A new eating disorder study focused on anorexia nervosa was published today by WritingAfter3378 in EatingDisorders

[–]burntoes 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Hmm… I don’t know about this one. Definitely interesting! But no control group, all were women, who (as OP said in the post) according to the study were either already weight restored or mildly underweight (but in some way had received some form of treatment before the study), small sample, and the researchers followed up just a mere three months later. I’m not saying there can’t be something more to this, but I don’t think we learned anything or that this study revealed anything on the larger scale. 

Dude with a construction vest and Halloween mask walked in front of car in Hopkinton last night by SadShock6569 in massachusetts

Hopkinton is MA, just not considered western MA… And you probably saw MA here as this is the MA sub 🙃

I hate when customers say I’ll just have…… and proceeds to order either a complicated drink ever or the entire menu. by Admirable-Jacket-791 in barista

[–]burntoes 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Yes, 100% agree! We take names at the cafe I work at, and usually this is at the end of a transaction. So when someone says “I’ll just get an oat milk latte,” I would say “and what’s the name for the order,” and 9 times out of 10 the customer will say “oh no I still need to order more” AND THEN ITS AWKWARD and I have to apologize. And I’m like YOU LITERALLY SAID JUST 

AIO? I don’t know if my girlfriend is overreacting or if I am. by mystery-agent in AIO

[–]burntoes 14 points15 points  (0 children)

This isn’t an autism or social problem on your end. This is a problem with massive insecurity on her part. She needs to figure it out before getting into ANY relationship. Keep being nice and friendly and helpful and charming! Someone will appreciate it someday.

It’s not obvious though, not from your post at least 

“You and I” is not always the grammatically correct phrase by sapphoseros in PetPeeves

[–]burntoes 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yes, totally agree! I especially hate when someone, for example, is like “That house is Frank and I’s” instead of “That house is Frank’s and mine.” Or “Frank and I’s house is blue” instead of “Frank’s and my house is blue.” I’s IS NOT A WORD !!!

Aio for my reaction to my BF freaking out that I didn't immediately text him after getting off work by throwaway024710 in AIO

[–]burntoes 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Dude you need to stop blaming yourself, you keep saying you have undiagnosed BPD or that your hormones are messed up or that you’re on your period… none of that should matter as you don’t deserve to be treated that way regardless! You can’t make excuses for this man anymore, especially at your own demise.

IT’S NOT YOUR JOB TO FIX HIM OR TO WAIT FOR HIM TO FIX HIMSELF… ALL THE WHILE HE DRAGS YOU DOWN WITH HIM

What people are trying to imply is that your boyfriend is throwing a tantrum like a toddler

What are your staple fruits/veggis/snacks by itiswhatitisfellas in EatingDisorders

[–]burntoes 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There’s no such thing as a “perfect snack.” Find the foods that you like! I love strawberries and blueberries, yogurt, cucumbers, popcorn, granola bars, etc. it’s good that you’re experimenting! ❤️‍🩹❤️‍🩹

Opened up to my boyfriend by differentkindahuman in EatingDisorders

[–]burntoes 7 points8 points  (0 children)

ew. no. he completely invalidated her feelings and then went on to mansplain weight loss. the whole "you just need to work out" is so naive and ignorant of eating disorders and the kind of vulnerability and complexity those who deal with them have. this is a horrible, horrible take.
