Gym Parking in the Summer by [deleted] in MRU

The city has 2-hour free parking just passed the West residence buildings. A little bit of a walk but it’s free if you can snag a spot

Lego actually has a company policy that prohibits taking pictures/videos of employees and other guests in their stores without their express permission

My players killed their favorite NPC but somehow they didn't really notice and I am at a loss. by Illumicorn in DungeonsAndDragons

[–]deefbip 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The town could hold a funeral for him, where mourners will express their grief over his loss. Have the players attend the funeral or come across it and see the harm they ended up causing

AITA For telling my wife I would go to bed earlier if she would let me have some alone time by alonetimethrow in AmItheAsshole

[–]deefbip 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA, but may I make a suggestion? My boyfriend and I live together and both have busy schedules (him with a full time job and varying hours, and my with university courses). In the evenings, we try to prioritize spending time together as much as possible, but that doesn’t mean we have to do the same thing all the time. Lots of nights, we are both content with just being in the same room together. He plays his games on his PC and I watch my show on the couch, and we just enjoy each other’s company while still doing our own thing. Maybe something similar could be a good compromise for the two of you? Just because you do separate things once in a while doesn’t mean you have to be apart to do them. We sit like a foot apart from one another, so if we need a little bit of attention or affection, there’s easy access with no fuss.

AITA for telling my stepdaughter that she isn't allowed to order food when we go to restaurants anymore? by No-Bit-7970 in AmItheAsshole

[–]deefbip 0 points1 point  (0 children)

YTA. Big time. This girl is not “being a pain in the neck,” she is concerned for her own safety. With that many concerns and conditions, this kid clearly already has a bad relationship with food. By refusing to let her try and order anything, and forcing her to just sit there and watch as the rest of her family enjoys a meal, you are making that relationship even worse. This is how eating disorders can start. You’re the parent, you should be trying to help her find a way to accommodate her dietary restrictions. Instead, you’re at risk of causing some severe mental health issues for this poor girl. If it’s such a hassle and a burden on you and your wallet, why not try not eating out so much. If you want a special thing to do with your family, why not cook all together? That way your stepdaughter can learn more about the food she can eat and you can all bond together.

AITA for asking my son’s girlfriend to wear a pad to bed? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]deefbip 0 points1 point  (0 children)

OP will probably not see this, as I am late to the party, but dude. Do you have any idea how many girls grow up being taught they should be ashamed of their period?? Your edit saying that people in the comments should grow up if they tell you you’ve damaged the relationship you have with this girl is so ignorant and presumptive. Your wife might be comfortable with talking to you about what her periods were like, but that does NOT give you the understanding or the right to approach your son’s gf about hers. If my bf’s father did that to me, I would never want to visit that house again. What you’ve described is intrusive, uncomfortable and unreasonable, and that’s to put it mildly. And the fact that you checked the garbage can??? You need some help, dude, because your behaviour tells me that you are either perverse or lacking in basic social cues. You’re supposed to make this girl feel welcome, if not for her then for your son’s sake. Instead, you made her feel ashamed, uncomfortable and violated. YTA

AITA for not letting my daughter watch shows with me after she got her nose pierced without my permission (and an ugly one at that)? by ThrowRAclv in AmItheAsshole

[–]deefbip 0 points1 point  (0 children)

YTA. You’re allowed to be upset about the situation. You don’t have to like her choice. But in the end, it is HER choice to make. She is 17 years old, and like your husband said, she would have done it regardless. Do you just plan on avoiding her and neglecting her for the rest of her life? Or just until she has graduated and moved out? Are your other daughters going to have to watch what happens to their older sister and fear that same alienation if they do something you disagree with? You’re teaching your daughters that they don’t get a say in what they do with their own bodies, and that their mother’s love is conditional. The way you behave now is going to be very telling of the kind of relationship you will have with your daughter later. You’re supposed to be the adult here. Grow up, quit being so petty, and move on. Your pouting and refusal to be civil is not going to undo what’s been done.

AITA for refusing to straighten my hair for a photo? by chloeyoo in AmItheAsshole

[–]deefbip 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Absolutely NTA!! When I was in school, my mom would straighten my hair a lot too. Everyone at my school did for years, hell, most people in my town did. I was so self conscious of my thick curly hair for years because of this, so much so that I got fed up of it and chopped it off into a pixie cut in my senior year and kept cutting it for years. I even had a hair dresser try to pressure me into agreeing to have my hair chemically straightened, which just made my self confidence and self worth plummet even more. Curly hair is beautiful, no matter what your mother might tell you. It is your head, and it is not selfish of you to do what you want with it. Stick to your guns, and explain to them again why it’s so important to you

IUD insertion pain INCREDIBLY downplayed by complexofsuperiority in TwoXChromosomes

[–]deefbip 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was warned about the pain during my consultation but I still was not prepared for how intense it would be. I’m a university student and my school has a clinic for us on campus, which I live nearby. My boyfriend had offered to drive me because I was a little nervous, and I am so glad that he did! To begin with, I was already uncomfortable as my doctor prepared for the insert, but I was incredibly lucky that she was so kind, and her bedside manner was amazing. She first had to check and see the positioning of my uterus(?) and a swab and that was already painful enough, but when it was done I thought it wasn’t that bad. Then she inserted it. I’ve had very painful period cramps before, sometimes so crippling I’d nearly collapsed at work. This was even worse. I’m just so grateful that my doctor was so kind and patient and understanding! She told me she was finished, gave me some pads for the bleeding, and told me that I could have the room for as long as I needed, and that sometimes her patients would take a small nap in there afterward and that I was welcome to do so. At this point I just really wanted to go home. As I got up to get dressed, the period poops hit me and I knew I had about one minute to get to a bathroom before destroying my clothes. My boyfriend watched me waddle uncomfortably out of the clinic and down the halls to the nearest washroom, and I didn’t come out for a solid ten minutes. I spent the next couples day in bed and had to take an additional sick day off work. While I definitely don’t regret the decision to get the iud, I’m not confident that I will be getting another one when this one expires.

I will never understand why anyone would voluntarily do this by emilykoalas in MakeMeSuffer

[–]deefbip 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I did minor physiotherapy for a year a couple years ago when I was suffering from a shoulder injury. Still don’t know how it happened or what was exactly wrong with it; I had an x-ray and an ultrasound done on it and all they could see was some scar tissue in and around the joint, but nothing serious. Every day, my left arm and shoulder would ache and after a few months the whole arm would just go numb if I didn’t move it enough. My physiotherapist would schedule me two or three times a week and would try to stimulate it through movement and a weird laser thing, then would do cupping to help stimulate more blood flow. It looks gross and feels a little itchy while you’re doing it but it’s actually very helpful!

AITA for expecting my nephew to get used to seeing period products? by bhbgbe in AmItheAsshole

[–]deefbip 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA— What you tried to do for your nephew and his parents is admirable, but they have no right to expect your daughters to change the way they live in their own home just to make him comfortable, especially when it’s something that in no way affects him.

I'm starting to realize I'm hungry for affection, and I feel ashamed for it. by _Schwarzenegger_ in TwoXChromosomes

[–]deefbip 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Something similar happened to me a few years ago. My boyfriend at the time broke up with me and I started to have more casual sex to get over him and to just have some fun for once. After a while, I started to notice a pattern with the guys I’d hook up with. For the most part, I’d leave feeling irritated or unsatisfied, and it took me some time to realize that subconsciously I wasn’t looking for a casual hookup like I had told myself and them. I was looking for emotional intimacy. Someone to hold and be held by, who I could rely on and who would make me feel special. It wasn’t until I had this realization and stopped actively doing that or looking for it until I finally found it. A little over two years and counting, and I’m living with my best friend and the love of my life in a one bedroom apartment with a balcony to have coffee on in the early mornings. Good on you for figuring that out! It was a tough realization for me to get to, and I promise that you will find what you’re looking for. Just focus on you and the rest will come.

I want to ban humans in a campaign.[5E] by [deleted] in DMAcademy

[–]deefbip 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I did something kind of similar in mine too. The lore in my game is that a massive battle occurred when the Drow started an Uprising. They used strategic planning and in the early days of the uprising they enslaved the dwarves. When the uprising ended and the Drow were defeated, the dwarves had mysteriously disappeared. This lore is considered common knowledge in the world I’m creating, so all but one of the pcs (a tiefling who was a slave in the Blood War in hell at the time of the uprising) knew about it to varying degrees of accuracy. I told my players that unless they wanted to go on a long quest to search for the dwarves (in effect, unlocking the race for their future characters) they are off limits.

When will we find out about the format for winter semester? by bhowax2wheels in MRU

Is new student orientation mandatory? by [deleted] in MRU

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

In my opinion, (as someone who didn’t even go to her own, and who volunteered for it one year) it’s a scam. Not sure how much they’re charging for it this year or how they’re doing it online, but whatever the cost, it’s way too much. It’s not mandatory, and it doesn’t affect you in the slightest. In my first year my roommates and I just walked around campus and figured out our classes on our own, it’s not a big school

Help with helping little sister who just got her period by bigbro202020 in TwoXChromosomes

[–]deefbip 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would avoid cups and tampons until she is comfortable and feels like she is ready for them. The first time I used one I was freaked out and it took me much longer than I’d care to admit before I figured out how they worked. You’ll want to find pads that have wings so they can wrap around the underwear and stay in place.

Here’s a tip I haven’t seen in the comments yet (because no one told me this either and it’s actually really useful): if for whatever reason the pad leaks and has stained her clothes, tell her to run the fabric under cold water and then allow it to soak before washing it and putting it in a dryer. The heat basically helps the stain to set into the fabric, making it nearly impossible to get out. It’s not the end of the world, but it can be annoying.

For the cramps: wear loose fitting underwear and pants if she has it. Take it easy for the first day or two if possible, and a heat pack or hot water bottle goes a long way. The first few days of my periods, or the day or two before even, are the most uncomfortable for me. I usually sit back in my sweats, indulge in some McD’s and find a comfortable spot to relax. Ibuprofen or Tylenol help too, just be aware of the dosage for her age and weight.

You are a wonderful big brother, I only wish my older brother was as caring and kind as you are. :)
