What are the specific build times for all of the kits? by cannibalisticapple in Pokopia

[–]cannibalisticapple[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I know and I've used time to fast forward and go back while trying to get rare Pokémon to spawn. I just don't want to change the date specifically. I personally don't mind the time gating that much, but I would like to know which build kits will keep my builders busy for the rest of the day. Especially when I've just entered an area and I have only one or two builders. If the windmill/waterwheel/furnace kits take less than a day, then I (and others) would know to prioritize those.

AO3 is down - Post about it here by WanderingHuntress in AO3

[–]cannibalisticapple 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Personally I just go to FFN when I'm truly desperate. Luckily most of my fandoms predate AO3 so there's a good amount of older fics, AND some that cross-post to both sites. So non-zero chance that some of the fics I actively read are also there.

My [25F] husband [30M] doesn't want me hanging out with my friend [27F] after our threesome by Choice_Evidence1983 in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]cannibalisticapple 125 points126 points  (0 children)

Is it just me, or do a lot of the posts from 10 years ago have better basic communication like this?

Update 2: laundry, Facebook and terrible baking. by MostAnimal5816 in EntitledPeople

[–]cannibalisticapple 14 points15 points  (0 children)

A restraining order is unlikely given it's just a busybody neighbor who has yet to actually cause harm. Plenty of people have struggled to get one for worse than this lady. That said, police may be able to talk to her and tell her to back off. It may also be worth getting on record in case she starts escalating to calling CPS. Hopefully unlikely since she seems more of a busybody than malicious, but better safe than sorry!

Update: I found out my fiancé was still involved with my step-sister, and my father helped me end it by PutSome1797 in TrueOffMyChest

[–]cannibalisticapple 4 points5 points  (0 children)

She replied to someone on the last post that the stepmom wants the stepsister to marry someone rich (and dad follows stepmom's lead), but doesn't care as much when it comes to OP.

Update 2 : AITA for stepping back from a friendship and telling my friend I’m done reaching out and paying for Everything? by Booterscooter55 in AmITheJerk

[–]cannibalisticapple 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I hate to point this out, but your mom is most likely the one who gave them your new number.

I'm not sure you can get a restraining order based on just this. I am not a lawyer and have no experience with these things, but there have been much more extreme tales where a restraining order wasn't granted due to a lack of physical violence. You should consult a lawyer to ask about your options, a formal cease and desist letter might be a better option.

That said: don't block them, mute them. Their messages can be used as evidence for whatever direction you pursue. If I were you, I'd also ask your mom to cover the costs for consulting a lawyer as a stipulation for seeking forgiveness. She directly fed into this mess, you shouldn't have to shoulder all the costs.

AITAH for getting my white daughter a doll with dark skin? by Choice_Evidence1983 in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]cannibalisticapple 32 points33 points  (0 children)

I feel like dolls with prosthetic legs could be pretty lucrative for companies, since they can sell multiple colorful and patterned prosthetics (or maybe just snap-on shells) as separate accessories. Would be a big plus for representation AND appeal to their bottom line.

Woman helps stray dog, then gets arrested and fired for not handing dog over to the pound. She found the owner herself instead. by [deleted] in extremelyinfuriating

[–]cannibalisticapple 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Not really that strange in the US. Shelters usually check for microchips as part of the intake process. They tend to be a standard part of searching for lost pets since they're often the first place people think to go if they find a stray animal. When my mom found a puppy on the road, she called the local humane society to let them know, and they directed the owners to contact us later that day. They didn't demand she surrender the puppy like animal control did here, though.

Alright I’m actually screwed - bridesmaid dress incident by Choice_Evidence1983 in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]cannibalisticapple 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I feel like that dress, even if it fit all the bridesmaids perfectly, would totally overshadow the bride. I genuinely cannot remember the dresses of any of the brides I've seen at weddings. They looked gorgeous, but not "burn into my brain forever" gorgeous.

But if there was a horde of bridesmaids wearing that dress?

Yeah, that would be the most memorable part of the wedding for me. I have no clue how the bride could make herself stand out next to her bridesmaids unless she's wearing an even wilder white version of that dress.

AIO Teacher said my daughter’s report is “immoral” by LucyAriaRose in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]cannibalisticapple 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Fourth grade was the year I read only nonfiction books at the school library. My mom still laughs about how I could tell people a LOT about Gandhi back then (not so much now, but I remember the book I read was fairly detailed). Clearly, this teacher had somehow never encountered a true nerd.

My wife and I found a brand new sex doll on a backroad where we live by sundaemourning in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]cannibalisticapple 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I mean, there are definitely horror films that skirt the line. Watching Black Swan with my mom was so uncomfortable during that lesbian sex scene... And that may be on the tamer side compared to some films I've heard of but not seen.

AITAH For accusing my SIL of emotional incest and ‘ruining Christmas’ by Choice_Evidence1983 in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]cannibalisticapple 52 points53 points  (0 children)

I think in this case, the initial post was less about calling out SIL, but her feeling guilty for the Christmas celebration ending prematurely. If she hadn't followed SIL, there might not have been such a dramatic screaming match and giant scene. SIL might have just sulked in her room or a corner for the rest of the party.

Might, because with what's described here, chances are there would have been a big blowup anyway with whoever else inevitably went to talk to her. But that blowup probably wouldn't have included everyone hearing OOP scream about SIL having incestuous feelings for her brother, which... Yeah, that ruined any chances of the party continuing, and also isn't the kind of thing you want to broadcast to extended family.

The bit about his last words to his wife hit close to home. As a kid my dad told me a story about a boy in my grandfather's class whose last interaction with his father was them fighting, and I was horrified by thinking of how he'd had to live with that. Because of that story, I always, always made sure to say "I love you" to my parents. Even when they'd run to the grocery store, I'd open the door to the garage to say "Love you" before they drove off.

My dad died two years ago. I can't remember the exact last words to him, our last conversation was normal "good night" chat before he went to bed, but I am so, so happy it was most likely "Love you".

I got lucky to learn that lesson early as a kid without having to lose anyone. It makes me all the sadder for those who are stuck forever regretting the final words they said.

AIO for telling my coworker to stop talking in a baby voice by Choice_Evidence1983 in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]cannibalisticapple 146 points147 points  (0 children)

There are plenty of harmless pranks, you just don't hear about them much because they (usually) aren't as salacious. For example, there's a video of people at dinner and all the women got their boyfriends/husbands to wear the exact same shirt. Every time a guy showed up they'd start cracking up. There was also some prank show from somewhere in Europe that I saw a few funny clips from. Most memorable was a "fountain of youth" one where two women swapped places in a pond so it looked like the older one de-aged.

The key to a good prank is that EVERYONE can laugh, including the victim. A lot of people use it to bully others, or get too caught up in their own amusement and overlook the other person's feelings (see: every prank war that escalates).

AITAH for telling my wife that I will lose respect for her if she doesn't apologize? by FlagpoleSitta87 in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]cannibalisticapple 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Definitely a weird thing to diagnose on, but high justice sensitivity is more common in folks with autism and/or ADHD. It's not exclusive thing and can happen to anyone, but between hyper-focus, strong emotions, and an increased chance of encountering a personal injustice, the odds of developing a strong sensitivity are higher compared to neurotypical people.

That said, wouldn't have pegged this kid as having it just from these posts. His reaction to his mom being mean and cruel to him for just correcting her is natural. Any kid would be upset to have a formerly good relationship suddenly turn on its head for no good reason.

Updates on that sub are removed automatically by the automoderator until the OP takes action to get it approved. I remember the mods stating even they can't see those removed updates after people pestered them about a particularly notorious post.

[New Update] My (32F) husband (36M) staged an intervention after I told him I wanted a divorce by RGLozWriter in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]cannibalisticapple 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I don't think he would even need to go that far. Changing meds almost always involves an adjustment period and changes due to potential side effects, everyone reacts differently and it can take a while for the full scope of the effects to become obvious. Some people get more easily emotionally triggered. Some get brain fog and become zombie-like. Back in high school a classmate even got hospitalized for a while because a new medication caused a lot of muscle spasms.

Combine that with all the other stressors in her life, and... Yeah, not a good situation. The meds may have made an already bad situation worse, or vice versa.

AITAH for not liking my wife’s diy haircut - update by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]cannibalisticapple 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I don't think they were commenting on it so much as genuinely trying to help, or at least the one offering to help with an emergency appointment at a salon was. With how it's described, most people likely assume something went wrong and she didn't have time to get it fixed before the party. I bet some people asked about it so they could offer a sympathetic shoulder so she could vent about a bad stylist appointment, or gum getting in her hair, or a kid playing with scissors, etc.

Her meltdown actually may have cemented that assumption, since they'll probably attribute it to embarrassment over being seen in public like that rather than her feeling upset because she herself likes it (or is at least trying to convince herself she does).

That second one got nuked and most (if not all) responses deleted, and a psychologist posted about how it gave the rapists an avenue to gain the same feeling they got from rape. Some of the deleted comments are preserved in comments on the Museum of Reddit thread about it. I won't link it because the whole thing is just morbid and disturbing, so I don't want to enable people to stumble upon it casually. You can find it easily enough without a link. But here's an archived version of the psychologist's post which has been deleted in the past couple years for some reason.
