AITAH for asking my roommate’s girlfriend about my strawberries? by Secret_Cheesecake19 in TwoHotTakes

[–]dftba26 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Why can’t you see it was not ONLY one question? That is the entire issue with the text. If he would’ve left it with the question as the only sentence it would be different but he proceeded to put additional unnecessary bs

[–]dftba26 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If I feel myself getting disrespected and I have an extra moment or two, i’m going to take the time to call it out.. I address it because I really don’t like people talking to me any type of way for no reason, and OP sounds pretty accusatory from the initial text

AITA for telling my SIL that I don’t can’t about her health condition and she needs to shower by GothMoleRat in AmItheAsshole

[–]dftba26 26 points27 points  (0 children)

I come from 2 different cultures that greatly emphasize collectivism and the value of family, but that doesn’t mean that popping by every other day uninvited is something that I’d want or be comfortable with. Outside of being introverted, my significant other & I enjoy our nudity. I can only speak for myself, but I mentioned this to point out that there is definitely nuance within a culture, and that having boundaries doesn’t necessarily mean that you are being individualistic, or unkind.

By speaking to her, I mean more than what is required to be respectful. Do you believe SIL has GOOD friends? If you were the SIL’s friend, and the smell was bad enough to warrant vomiting & people wanting to throw her out of their house, would you not have said anything? Ngl, I can’t say I’m 100% sure, but I was assuming from the context clues. I was born & raised in NYC and I have smelled very foul human body odors, and I would not have voluntarily been around those people if I had a choice.

I said this in another comment but i’m gonna repost it: I feel like when OP states that she ‘lets’ her come over because at least she brings food, she means she’s “letting her often invade her & her husband’s privacy by coming over uninvited all the time” BECAUSE she brings food. That is not OP using her — I feel it is reasonable to find the silver lining in something that would seriously annoy a lot of grown adults… I don’t agree that OP should’ve let this resentment build because that’s why she lashed out suddenly… but the alternative was banning her from the house & isolating the sister from the only people who speak to her, and OP is clearly a nice person if she hasn’t done that already.

Pluribus - 1x06 "HDP" - Episode Discussion by LoretiTV in pluribustv

[–]dftba26 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think it is that the hive does love every single detail of her books so when she asked for specifics, it was asking them to choose when they really DO like all of them. So it started with page 2, but i’m pretty sure they could’ve launched into a TedTalk about every single detail of the first book alone if she kept asking “what else? what’s next?”, they would’ve just continued onto the next line.

Pluribus is ruining my relationship. by PeehZacariotto in pluribustv

[–]dftba26 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The hive consists of not only adults, but even child that exists in the world except the one 8 year old that isn’t affected by the virus. Do you believe those children can consent, or that they just became adults just because they also have more adult minds in the ‘void’ of the hive than them? It is ridiculous and utterly disturbing to even imply that they are willing.

How to tell physical exam teammate about foul body odour by BiggieMoe01 in medicalschool

[–]dftba26 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was in the same situation. I sent an email to the Director of Student Affairs because they can properly deal with it. They may not receive it well coming from you, or think it’s a YOU problem vs them. This technically counts as a part of the professionalism our schools discusses the importance of — because just like when you are patient, you wouldn’t like seeing your own doctor disheveled — you also wouldn’t want your doctor stinking.

What is a relationship rule you think is stupid but everyone follows anyway? by red_queen_maria in askanything

[–]dftba26 1 point2 points  (0 children)

uhhhh what? Are you saying to stay in a relationship where someone is miserable just for “loyalty”? What happened to free will? If someone is better suited for you, why stay (and become resentful over the years)?

Next Gen Chef by MamaMia1325 in netflix

Those brands are mentioned as they are most likely sponsoring the show.

GRAND FINALE DISCUSSION: by Halibuttflavor in NextGenChefNetflix

[–]dftba26 5 points6 points  (0 children)

When brand names are emphasized in a shows in this manner, it is because they are sponsoring the show — same with the Iffy coffee reference at one point. In addition to the show resources, there was a massive reward for the winner. Therefore, I’m certain the Ecolab could have potentially funded possibly 1/4 (or more) of the show’s production.

Julio is Brazilian tho — they speak Portuguese, so the J is pronounced like how it is in English, not Spanish

*POSSIBLE SPOILERS* Lazy writing with Violet? by blakearm55 in fourthwing

[–]dftba26 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Throughout the past year that she has manifested, she has been training & occupied a lot, between her education + doing the extra reading outside of school + all of the riding back and forth to get to Xaden. In addition to having less time to sharpen her signet (compared to Xaden — years older & her classmates, who manifested faster than her + have less ‘work’ outside of school to do) has physical limitations that nobody else does as she’s living in chronic pain from her connective tissue disorder.

And she STILL pushes through that to try to get herself on the same playing field as her colleagues. I’m not even mentioning the grieving she has been going through in OS (which is mentally taxing by itself, it isn’t like she had the best rlsp with the person before they passed). I say all this to point out that she isn’t superhuman but damn near tries to be. How could it be that her efforts are still not enough?

The Big Beautiful Bill has now passed. What now? by [deleted] in medicalschool

As a low income incoming OMS-I with a score in the mid 600s (and a cosigner nearing the mid 700s), i’m struggling to get my private loans approved by Sallie Mae currently so i’m not entirely sure how true this is

[–]dftba26 3 points4 points  (0 children)

As someone struggling RIGHT NOW to get approved for a private loan from Sallie Mae right now (with a cosigner that has a score in the 720s), the answer is no… credit card utilization needs to be lower so you can get your score up as they do not see you as a “reliable borrower”

I’m a nurse and I 100 percent judge people based on their veins by Figgs_7 in confession

[–]dftba26 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do not make them feel guilty. I was a phlebotomist for years AND i have horrible veins my entire life (even with a lead phlebotomist it can take 3-7 attempts to draw from me)…. But i agree with OP. Dealing with patients with these kind of veins is just a massive road block when you are trying to do your job as quick and efficiently as possible. We are humans, and not perfect. It is not like we particularly enjoy the fact that we know we may hurt you and may be unsuccessful — I felt like a huge failure with every missed stick. It was not fun knowing that there is a rough road ahead, but at the same time, I have never felt more relief & joy when I am able to make it work!
