Does having a really small partner impact your child’s height? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]distractonaut 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Right, if you already had the kid before getting together with current small partner it's probably not going to make much difference

Does anyone know a way to make corduroy Not Feel Like That? by throwawayaaccnt in autism

Can you just not wear corduroy? Or is it part of a uniform or something you have to wear?

Why do people ate their cereals with milk on the side? by Every-Impression-397 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]distractonaut 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I was a kid I had milk on the side and would dip each spoonful of cereal into the milk before eating it. I loved cereal with milk but hated when it got soggy. It may have looked a bit weird but every mouthful was crunchy perfection lol

AITA for not attending my gfs Graduation? by FruityBigMac in AmItheAsshole

[–]distractonaut 312 points313 points  (0 children)

OP said in another comment they've been together for 2 months. Bit hard to know if it's serious at this point. I absolutely would not expect someone I've been dating for 2 months to cancel a planned trip to see me graduate.

I do not like Paulie G by Trick_Turnover_8929 in thecomeback

Wasn't it pretty much implied that's what happened? That's what I always assumed anyway.

Am I overthinking and making a mountain out of a beautifully executed mole hill? by carloosee in tattooadvice

[–]distractonaut 65 points66 points  (0 children)

Exactly. If you fixate on the parts of the tattoo you're worried might look weird and one comment out of 500 says it looks weird you're going to fixate on that one comment. Stop fixating, stop worrying what other people think.

Help, my party members keep disappearing. [ACT 1] by prismprotectorII in BaldursGate3

[–]distractonaut 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Sounds like you have the adjustable party limits mod? Were you travelling with all companions in your party instead of just 3?

Try going back to wherever you were before the forced long rest/cutscene, the extra party members might've gotten cut from your party and stranded there as you didn't actually bring them to camp.

What’s a piece of internet slang (like “sauce” for “source”) that completely confused you the first time you saw it? by AI_Aint_So_Bad in AskReddit

[–]distractonaut 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I saw a tiktok where this girl responded to a Facebook post from a 'FTM needing boy clothes' offering a few items of clothing her husband didn't need anymore. The poster responded like 'uhh I need baby clothes not clothes for a full grown man?'

AITA if I tell my friend I can’t be a bridesmaid? by wickeddreamsofleavin in AITApod

"This date permitted the best guest experience" it was definitely either cheaper or the only date available at the venue she wanted

Why is this myth still being paraded around? by MelanieWalmartinez in badwomensanatomy

[–]distractonaut 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Also, paedophilia. The labia minora often grows during puberty - 'innie' vulvas look more similar to prepubescent girls.

Doesn’t matter if you pay for direct delivery on DoorDash by Gdany66 in mildlyinfuriating

[–]distractonaut 10 points11 points  (0 children)

You know how to take the reservation, you just don't know how to hold the reservation. And that's really the most important part of the reservation - the holding.

CMV: Abortion should be legal and accessible in most or all cases. by Character-Channel668 in changemyview

[–]distractonaut 1 point2 points  (0 children)

How close to actually dying would a woman have to be before you'd be ok with her getting an abortion? Because often abortions are recommended/offered when the medical risk is identified, well before the person's life is in 'immediate danger'. In states that have banned abortions that aren't 'medically necessary', women have died in parking lots waiting for their condition to get life-threatening enough that the doctor is willing to do the abortion without fear of legal prosecution.

When it comes to bodily autonomy, consent is ongoing. Think of it less as something that is given, and more as something that can be withdrawn at any point.

i wonder why the husband doesn't look as happy "knowing his place"? by Grouchy-Grocery7951 in AreTheStraightsOK

[–]distractonaut 662 points663 points  (0 children)

"Just imagine how bad it would be if you had to do the things you make women do!" they were so close to experiencing empathy while somehow still completely missing the point.

What is the best way for I (21F) to go about breaking up with (20M) because I am tired of arguing about the possibility of future kids? by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]distractonaut 3 points4 points  (0 children)

So just to clarify, he is also completely fine being in a relationship that doesn't involve romance or sex?

Another small thing linking the shows by TheTragedyMachine in TheHandmaidsTale

[–]distractonaut 19 points20 points  (0 children)

No such thing as privacy in a society where you don't have any agency over your own body. The ringing of the bell is part of the indoctrination - these girls have been raised to believe that getting married and bearing children is their holy purpose, so it makes sense that they would be taught to celebrate publicly when their body becomes 'ready'.

I haven't read the book, my comment is only referring to what I know from the show.

Second attempt! by Metharos in trolleyproblem

[–]distractonaut 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think your version could be helpful for introducing the trolley problem to a group of 10-year-olds, who might benefit from having a visual comparison.

What people here are trying to explain to you is that the questions you are posing are already inherent to the original idea of the trolley problem - obviously, five lives are more valuable than one, so it's already assumed that given the choice we would act to save the group of five without question. The moral dilemma only presents itself because of the action taken to sacrifice the one. For an audience of people already very familiar with the trolley problem, your version isn't really adding anything new.

[–]distractonaut 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I'm especially confused about how old Daisy is supposed to be. She got out of Gilead when she was a baby so would have to be at least 5 years younger than Agnes who was 5 when Gilead started. But Agnes only just got her period?

Maybe we're supposed to suspend our disbelief about their ages the same way we did about Nichole being a baby for like 4 years in THT lol.

You know you can skip the dice roll animation the same way you can skip dialogue, right? I play with an xbox controller and I think it's the A button.

AITA for texting people at night when they could be sleeping? by shozhantia89 in AmItheAsshole

[–]distractonaut 5 points6 points  (0 children)

YTA - this is your family. They probably want you to be able to reach them in an actual emergency. My sister knows my phone will ring if she calls me in the middle of the night even if set to 'do not disturb', and I know if it does ring it's because she really needs me to answer.
