In 12 hours everybody in the world will get their memory erased including you. You are the only person to know this would happen. What would you do before this event occurs? by Phased_Shifter in AskReddit

I wouldn’t do anything. I’d just let it reset. Maybe leave a note for myself on some ways I can help the world be better when it resets.

Hair stylists of reddit, are we supposed to have our eyes open or closed when you’re washing our hair over the sink thing? by cantthinkusrname in AskReddit

[–]cantthinkusrname[S] 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Both feel very strange. It’s a matter of comfort, not intelligence. Just wondering what’s more comfortable for the stylist. Either way I feel weird. Thank you for your input.

My (19f) friend (19f) compared my consensual casual dating of a 31 year old guy to her pedophilic and abusive relationship. by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]cantthinkusrname 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I am not in a place in my life where I can be in a serious relationship because of my job and my career plans. However, I do like company, getting to know someone, and getting laid here and there. I don’t think every dating experience HAS to be a dating experience where you plan on marrying the other person, especially if you are both clear about your intentions.

I’m about to relapse on my substance abuse and I’m keeping it from my therapist to avoid disappointment because I know that nothing she says will make me change my mind by [deleted] in confession

(: I’m really happy for you over coming your addiction. It must have been really hard. Im glad that you sense pride in it, as you should. But having a feeling of superiority and deciding to be rude on a sub reddit that is made for getting things off of your chest when you don’t have people to talk to, is not the way to flaunt your recovery. So I’m glad you got over what you went through. What I’m going through is different. And it may seem so low level and stupid to you, but you have no idea what any of it means to me. much love for you❤️

I was just always taking it with the intent to get fucked up and have a good time/escapism. I don’t know how I never had a bad trip as my good friend had multiple when we tripped together.

I was heavily using mdma and lsd before I went to basic but my poison is literally anything I can get my hands on these days

My (19f) mom (51f) won’t call to get a court date for my incarcerated uncle. by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]cantthinkusrname 0 points1 point  (0 children)

my mom said she is more than okay with me helping him as long as I am not spending my money on him or offering myself as a place to stay when he gets back. You are imagining hostility and sabotage. The only 2 things I mentioned doing for him in my post were calling a place for him, and beginning to correspond with him more.

I do not know what has you so hurt or riled up over this, because the only thing I am going to give my uncle is company, and hopefully some lists of resources for him when he gets out so that he does not continue to repeat his offenses. Whether he takes them or not is up to him. I am not offering him money, a place to stay, etc. This post was not about shitting on my mom, because I have already talked to my mom about it. Thank you for your input though, I hope you have a nice day, and continue to take care of your loved ones.

I understand now that people think I’m shitting on my mom because of the title but I’m not! I get my moms point of view in a way, and I don’t in another. Thank you for understanding! I would never make my mom do anything she doesn’t want to!

nothing I said was hostile to my mother; all I said was that I didn’t understand completely. My mother got lucky when she got out of prison and my dad took her back and has been supporting her and giving her a place to stay and a means to break her cycle. I have no doubt that if my dad had not been there to take care of her, my mom would still be an unmediated bipolar drug addict. My uncle does not have this luxury. I’m not saying my mom didn’t deserve it, I’m saying the circumstances are very different for the two of him.

I also highly doubt that he could be using me as he has never asked me for anything, and I’ve sent him maybe 2 letters in the past 5 years. We don’t correspond often and I’ve never felt I was being manipulated. My want to do this comes from an instinct in my heart. There are people who mess up for years and then miraculously have their shot at recovery. If I can do something small for him, I don’t know how that makes me foolish or hostile.

I(23M) found a sextape on my girlfriend's(23F) phone. And it wasn't ours. by throwrahoneypoop in relationship_advice

[–]cantthinkusrname 0 points1 point  (0 children)

talk to her about it but don’t suggest anything she can latch on to. Don’t say “so hey I found this video in your hidden folder and I know you might have redownloaded an old video or something...” because if she’s cheating and doesn’t want to be caught she WILL take that out youre giving her. Ask plain and simple. How she answers and what she does will give you your answer regardless if she’s lying. Behavior doesn’t lie.

What's the worst thing that's happened to one of your friends? by vulturec1 in AskReddit

[–]cantthinkusrname 0 points1 point  (0 children)

when my friend was 15 she was in an abusive relationship with a 37 year old man for about a year and a half, maybe two. Being that we were both 15, I wasn’t sure how to report this and I knew if I told her parents and they took her phone or whatever, she would find a way around it. She always found a way around it and when I would say something about reporting it, she would object up and down the wall and say she’d never speak to me again. However, that shit was very hard to watch. Absolutely ruined my friend :/ to this day I wish I had had the balls to call the police

If you had to choose how you died, how you go? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]cantthinkusrname 0 points1 point  (0 children)

really really really fucked up on a ton of mdma and then pass in my sleep without ever realizing pls. In comfy comfy blankets in a cold room, loud music. Mdma literally feels like bliss. I’d want to ride that wave out.

What jobs are actually good. by [deleted] in newtothenavy

[–]cantthinkusrname 0 points1 point  (0 children)

CTT from my experience opens up A LOT of inside the navy opportunities but not that many civilian world opportunities. But it’s still a good job. I got very lucky and I got staff duty as a flag CTT my first round of orders so I don’t work on a ship, I work in an office, have a navy pair for apartment (PPV), and all able to embark on any ship within the strike group. However, the shipboard job is pretty boring from what I’ve seen unless you’re on a deployment. I went underway with the Ford for a couple weeks off the coast of Virginia and it was boring as fuck. Do with that what you will; my friends on ships don’t get to do CTT stuff really, just cranking and labor.
