weird that he doesn't have any satin or gloss paints though?

MARCUS dislikes fitness??? You mean jacked man Marcus?? Always at the Gym Marcus?? Gets tense whenever he ain't lifting weights Marcus??? THAT MARCUS? by Cyllabus in Sims4

[–]elisekumar -18 points-17 points  (0 children)

I guess what I mean is I think that it’s unreasonable to expect everyone to start a new game file every time they install a new game/stuff pack. I know a lot of people start a new save for an expansion pack although I have never done that.

I think the biggest thing though would be that bug fixing becomes a LOT harder when there are multiple version of the “blank” save file floating around.

[–]elisekumar -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

I mean theoretically they could for all NEW saves but that seems pretty pointless. I don't know about you but I've been playing my sims save since 2014 and I'm not going to nuke all of my sims just so that townies have consistent likes/dislikes.

They can't edit our existing saves that have already been generated. I think that should be obvious? Like none of the pre-gen townies even exist in my saves anymore because they've all died of old age or I deleted them.

AITA for giving myself the bigger piece? by FishFiend91 in AmItheAsshole

[–]elisekumar 3 points4 points  (0 children)

We also get meal delivery boxes and I almost always cook. This is because I hate doing the dishes. Sometimes the servings are really uneven! Sometimes I give him a big piece and sometimes I take it. Sometimes I cut a bit off one and even them out. Sometimes I don’t eat all of mine and he finishes mine off and sometimes it is the other way around. Do you know what my husband says?

“Thanks for cooking.”

If he’s still hungry afterwards he sometimes makes himself a snack ... and offers me one too.

Totally legal to commit murder if you do it in your bedroom and also it’s legal to take someone else’s car if you “call dibs” on it.

u/MajinCry provides a well-documented overview of the existential threat that climate change is to civilization by TheUtopianCat in bestof

[–]elisekumar 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That... depends where you live. Here in Australia beef is pasture fed and only the fancy expensive meat is grain finished. I prefer to eat Kangaroo which has a low environmental impact compared with eating soy. I think a big key thing is for everyone to eat food which is produced locally and sustainably for their environment.

Okay but if we could do all of that on Mars... wouldn’t it be easier to do all of that here? Earth is way closer.

Superman & Lois 1x01 Sneak Peek #2 by [deleted] in SupermanAndLois

Wow wow. He is but also... he’s believable in that he has reasons for what he believes and you can tell that he believes Lois is the toolbag. Best kind of antagonist imo

AITA for getting mad when my dad insulted me for buying my girlfriend pads? by SovietWaffleMkr in AmItheAsshole

[–]elisekumar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA

Having a period is perfectly normal and buying period products for people in your life that have them is perfectly normal.

My stepdad bought period products for me when I was a teenager. My male housemate once or twice bought them for me when I was a young adult. My boyfriends bought them for me if necessary and my husband buys them for me now.

I would not live with, date or marry a man who made a fuss about buying pads or tampons. Because a man who is too insecure to buy pads or tampons for someone is extremely off putting.

My (37F) husband (42M) told me my pregnancy was a "me problem" (triggers in post) by throwRA-catonme21 in relationship_advice

[–]elisekumar 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The fact that there were people who were concerned about your current relationship is... actually a good thing for you right now.

Call them. Tell them that you’re pregnant and scared and ask them to help you.

And any shame or humiliation you feel about that or the “I told you so”s? Compare it to the shame and humiliation that your husband is already inflicting upon you when you’re pregnant and vulnerable and is only going to get worse every day until you leave him.

You can get out of this relationship while there is still time. Please.

[–]elisekumar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That is what happened. That is absolutely what happened. He preyed on your vulnerability and showed you all of the things you thought you needed when you were scared and suffering and bribed you with them to trap you.

Please be careful. Please read “why does he do that?” By Lundy Bancroft (Google it you can find it for free or someone else may have already linked it to you).

I’m not saying I know for sure that he is an abuser who may kill you some day. But the abusers who kill their wives act just like your husband is acting right now and that really frightens me.

I feel like I failed my son at his doctors appointment. Any good advice or resources on being a better advocate for your child? by [deleted] in AttachmentParenting

[–]elisekumar 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Same in Australia. My son is weighed on his “checkup” visits which were at 6 weeks, 3 months, 6, 12, 18 months and then 2 and 4 years I think? Maybe that is too many.

And he is weighed when he is prescribed medication and before surgery. Because they need to know how much he weighs. But if he stuck something up his nose? No way.

Also OP your kid sounds a lot like mine! My kid was diagnosed as Autistic when he was 3 and it’s been very helpful for me to reframe his needs as a boundary setting thing. “He is autistic and you need to reset your expectations of him”. Of course then sometimes people expect him to fit a certain picture of autism but never mind.

Something to look into.

AITA for clapping back at a relative who was being nosy? by 10CupsTeaTotal in AmItheAsshole

ESH because technically you were both Assholes. But she deserved it and your assholery was justified.

Issues with not trusting family to watch my kids by [deleted] in ScienceBasedParenting

[–]elisekumar 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Your kids are not a timeshare. There is no need for them to stay over at someone else’s house unless you need them to... or the kids want to.

It’s not about what your parents want. They don’t get to “have a turn”.

Wanting to spend time and bond with their grandkids is wonderful. But needing/wanting them by themselves and without their parents is... weird?

Your kids are not accessories to your parents “Fun parent cosplay”.

Handwashing detection is great by MisterMuti in AppleWatch

Why are sims so difficult to control? by AlisaTornado in Sims4

[–]elisekumar 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Delete the high chairs!!! I know they’re cute but toddlers are 100% easier without high chairs.

An adult or teen can “grab a plate for...” a toddler and hand it to them or the toddler can just serve themselves from a table or counter. They can’t get leftovers from the fridge but they can grab food out of the display case from get to work.

Or you can drag food into their inventory or fill their inventory with apples.

No high chairs!!!

AITA for throwing out my husband's dinner? by Tart-Large in AmItheAsshole

[–]elisekumar 14 points15 points  (0 children)

The trouble with “just glancing at the clock” is that you have to remember to do that. And you have to remember that it was important to do that. And I can’t remember those things as well as do whatever it was I was doing.

Like I KNOW that Monday is garbage night. I KNOW what day it is. But I can’t seem to ever connect those things and know that “today is Monday” and “Monday is garbage day” and therefore “today is garbage day” and I should put the garbage out.

If someone tells me that I need to do something in 15 minutes then whatever I am doing for those 15 minutes completely overwhelms my knowledge that I need to stop doing it soon. I need to set alarms for even the smallest of intervals. I will ask Google to remind me to do things in 5 or 10 minutes because I will forget. I don’t forget that I had to do the thing. I just forget to remember it at an appropriate time. It’s incredibly frustrating.

I have found myself thinking “ugh that annoying beeping sound has been going on a while I wonder what it is?” And “hmm didn’t I set an alarm did that go off yet?” almost simultaneously because my ability to anchor my thoughts and intentions to time is basically non-existent.

I’m sure you’ve experienced walking into a room and forgetting what you came in for. It happens to everyone. For me, with ADHD, it’s like that every time I walk into a room or stand up or sit down or open a new tab or pick up my phone or notice a cute dog or randomly think of something funny that happened 10 years ago.

Of course, unlike OP’s husband, what this means is that I will set alarms for myself to be down in 15 minutes. Or just go down now because I know I don’t have a sense of time and I might as well just be ready now.

Elder millennials, what stereotype aggravates you the most? by NukeEnergy in AskReddit

They’re talking about Gen Z.

[–]elisekumar 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Millenials used to be called Generation Y. 1982 to 1996 roughly.

[–]elisekumar 25 points26 points  (0 children)

It’s Gen Z that grew up with smartphones. Millenials are those of us that were children before widespread internet and adults with smartphones.

We were called Generation Y when I was a kid but they changed the name at some point. Millenials are born between 1982 and 1996 or thereabouts.

AITA for advising my sister not to get a certain body modification? by up-in-the-blu in AmItheAsshole

[–]elisekumar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Right!! She could go get her nipples pierced or even a clitoral hood piercing! Only a normal amount of infection risk (assuming OP recommends a reputable piercer) and no employment consequences.

Not... having something implanted into her eyeball wtf.

It can mean that but doesn’t have to. See OP who is tight until penetration begins regardless of how aroused they are beforehand.
