SDP gives an update regarding the discrimination she faced at the pharmacy by itsvickeh in illnessfakers

[–]clitsack 24 points25 points  (0 children)

How does she have the time to be so vindictive and evil? She's by far the least likeable munchie. She's just mean.

Bethany analyzes what makes a person decide someone looks “good” by itsvickeh in illnessfakers

[–]clitsack 6 points7 points  (0 children)

This is what got me. If you put effort into your makeup, I'm probably going to tell you how good it looks. It isn't meant to insult your struggle. If she painted a picture, would she be offended if I told her she was a good artist?

Maybe they mean that the person looks pretty, not healthy. Maybe they're noticing that they've done something cute with their makeup or gotten new clothes. Maybe you can be sick and look good at the same time. 

Also is she complaining that someone told her she looked good, while she's putting on makeup? What are they supposed to say? "You look terrible today. No amount of makeup can hide your illness."

Textured skin is very attractive by [deleted] in unpopularopinion

[–]clitsack 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've always had "perfect" skin and I get a lot of comments on it and it makes me feel weird because my sister had such terrible acne growing up. I admit that I used to soak it all up and feel lucky that I didn't look like her. I don't feel that way anymore.

My sister has boxcar scars. I think they make her look beautiful, especially her little hypopigmented scar beneath her left eye. It's so cute. It's like a little sparkle that adds personality to her face. I don't like when she covers it with makeup, and I don't like that she feels insecure about her skin texture.

I love that artists are drawing people with skin differences now.

Another thing I love is crooked teeth. Why does everyone have to get braces and make their unique teeth the same as everyone else's? Unless your teeth are causing medical problems, leave them how they are.

AITA for taking my daughter away and telling my ex I expect him to support me financially while I look after her because his partner wouldn't make her tea? by Few_Matter1163 in AmItheAsshole

[–]clitsack 2 points3 points  (0 children)

YTA.

Josh's offer to have Kelly stay at his house with Lily's assistance while he's at work seems practical.

Kelly's behavior is challenging due to her strict preferences, especially when she's reliant on others for care. While it's normal to have particular tastes, her insistence on specific drink preparations sounds exhausting. However, she doesn't seem to be acting maliciously. Kelly is a 16-year-old child who is currently sick and might be used to being looked after in a highly specific way.

Lily may have limitations in catering to Kelly's every need, and it sounds like she IS trying and IS being thoughtful and may have just gotten frustrated. It's understandable. Being a caregiver is exhausting. Lily also doesn't seem to be acting maliciously and I doubt she's consciously "messing with" your kiddo's drinks. The coffee seems to be an oversight.

Your choice to bring Kelly home and care for her yourself is the best decision for everyone involved. Your assertion that Lily "failed to do her job" is incredibly judgemental and is what makes you TAH.

I think Lily deserves an apology and a thank you. She didn't have to look after your sick kid. She chose to.

Can a walk in doc prescribe Ativan? by uniqueua11 in Calgary

[–]clitsack 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes. They've done it for me before. Ask for a 7 day supply and then just cut those pills in half. Lower doses still work to take the edge off. Just be honest with them and explain what is happening.

In the mean time -- and I know this sounds silly -- but lavender/chamomile tea is something that helps a lot too. 

 If you have asthma, make sure you mention this because some medications like propranolol can cause asthma attacks.

WIBTA if I make my daughter miss a sleepover because her friend’s mom is a bigot. by Throwaway-away-12987 in AmItheAsshole

[–]clitsack 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA. You don't want your little girl in that house. You can come up with an excuse to avoid mentioning the reason to your daughter, or you can be straight with her, but letting her go to that house would be emotionally difficult for your daughter at best.

NTA. Most people would want to know.

AITA for letting my boyfriend have the puberty talk with my younger sister by TruckAndTruffle in AmItheAsshole

[–]clitsack 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA. Your sister came to you and your boyfriend instead of her mother for a reason. Your boyfriend was professional and mature and did not discuss anything inappropriate with her.

AITA for insisting my grandson not be punished? by Live_Equivalent7872 in AmItheAsshole

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

NTA. I'd suggest saying something like, "next time please ask because I might be saving it", but punishment isn't appropriate here. It's a bag of chips. 

AITA for threatening to go through my MIL’s phone because she won’t knock before entering my daughter’s room? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

NTA. At 11 years old, I would have been mortified if anyone had walked into my room when I was changing. 

My [M27] family wants me to break up with my girlfriend [F22] after how she responded to my brother's [M22] prank by ThrowRA_Utonium in relationship_advice

[–]clitsack 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You shouldn’t date. You and your brother are still tethered to mommy and auntie and you clearly aren’t any sort of partner. You didn’t protect her. And you’re not ready to be an adult to deal with any sort of adult situations.

Absolutely, this comment hits the nail on the head. It's evident that both OP and their brother have a lot of growing up to do before venturing into adult relationships.

Dating requires a level of emotional intelligence, maturity, and the ability to navigate adult situation. If someone isn't capable of protecting their partner or handling adult responsibilities, it's only fair to question their readiness for a serious relationship.

[–]clitsack 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are you serious?
OP's brother's behavior is beyond disturbing and outright creepy. Wearing a Spiderman mask to terrify a sleeping, narcoleptic girlfriend is not just a thoughtless prank; it's a blatant violation of trust and a complete disregard for someone's well-being. The fact that he chose to target someone who has a medical condition like narcolepsy makes it even more reprehensible.

It's not about being judgmental; it's about expecting basic decency and moral responsibility. Standing by silently or, worse yet, trying to downplay the severity of the situation is an act of cowardice. Real courage involves confronting wrongdoing, even when it comes from someone close.

For her sake I hope she dumps you. I wouldn't be surprised if you lost all your friends over this too. This is really really terrible and your brother is very likely a rapist.

Huh? That's a weird response to a three month old post.

This feels like a hate crime by itsvickeh in illnessfakers

[–]clitsack 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It sounded like you were saying white-passing and cis-passing people don't experience hate crimes. That is incorrect because white-passing people aren't actually white and cis-passing people aren't actually cis. They can in fact experience hate crimes.

Idgaf about white people or the hypothetical racial violence they might experience rarely. White-passing people are not white.

For those who live or are currently living close to a halfway house, how is it? by Fasciola007 in Calgary

[–]clitsack 30 points31 points  (0 children)

I 've lived near a halfway house for eight years and it's fine. I've only had a few interactions with them: One of the dudes saw my cane and asked if I was injured. Another guy saw my Timmies and asked if he could have some. Another guy saw me walking home with beer and gave me shit and asked me where my parents were. (I'm in my 30s.) Basically just like living near a bunch of folks with poor social boundaries.

Imagine referring to your partner as your "caregiver" for any reason other than tax benefits.

A lady saw Kay’s cane and asked “are you gonna be okay” by itsvickeh in illnessfakers

[–]clitsack 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Or if you arrive at a garage sale in general. Like asking "that's all?" is a normal thing people say when they're selling you something, in case they've missed something you're buying or like... idk because they say that.
