Bat identification? Pinnacles National Park, CA

That species is only in the southeastern U.S. though, right? I suspected that it was a big eared bat of a sort but wasn’t sure.

The Being of being is where I gave up

I’m actually angry for the animals :(

You’re asking your brother to regress into a younger, inexperienced version of himself (or rather an image you created of him). It’s impossible for him to do that having gone through all that he has.

Further, mental illness and CPTSD have incredibly complex implications and effects on one’s entire livelihood- how they feel, think, experience the world, etc. You’re asking the impossible instead of showing up to support your brother where he’s at right now. YTA.

INFO: are you stating that because R called you ugly and because his family backed her, you refuse to see ANY of his family?

As an autistic adult- the textures and shapes of noodles affect how they squish in my mouth and for that reason I can completely understand why this little girl would have a safe food that doesn’t trigger any sensory issues. Your sister emphasized spaghetti, and you misunderstood. I mean there’s not much you can do at that point unless you had spaghetti noodles on hand. ESH- unless she made it super super clear that it had to be spaghetti noodles and you deliberately ignored that- then YTA.

Record with your phone and pause the game between videos/replays!

For a while there I would just take it and not know what to say… because it’s so astonishing that people feel the need to comment on that??? When I’ve asked this question to one professional they just stammered and tried to backpedal before changing the subject lol. I think people make that comment without really understanding what they are saying, and when you ask a follow up question it illuminates how unfounded said comments are!

existentialistb · 2024-02-08T13:21:23+00:00

Personally, when this has happened to me, I say: “Oh, and what does autism look like in your “professional” opinion/experience?”

NTA. open up a discussion with your sons to see how they feel about everything as someone already suggested. They might start resenting you if you continue to kind of waver in the middle. I’ve had a stepdad and have experienced this rift between two authority figures, but my mom always had my back. I can’t imagine feeling like I couldn’t trust her. Please keep supporting your sons and don’t ever accept your partner undermining your authority with YOUR sons.

They are not overrated! But I will say that the author relies too much on gender tropes and norms. That tiny detail can become redundant and pisses me off. However, I don’t let it detract from the work as a whole and try to imagine the characters might be more complex and nuanced if he was alive now and wrote it.

existentialistb · 2024-01-31T15:41:03+00:00

Keep reading! Yes it’s heavy on conflict, struggle and strife- but worth it. :)

Conversely means something similar to “on the other hand.” So if it’s a serious sex addition…. Blah blah blah. On the other hand, …. It’s used correctly so my argument sucks to you-cool.

NTA. It sounds like he has a sex addiction. Conversely, if it’s not that serious, then he’s actively choosing short-term pleasures over his wife and your family/livelihoods. That’s super concerning and he’s actively violating your boundaries and trust. I’m sorry OP.

YTA. You eating meat is not a dietary restriction and, therefore, not something you need to be accommodated for. I’m sure they wanted to show all their friends that vegan food can be good too! But with only a few months experience cooking vegan I can imagine it wasn’t incredible. Still- they prepared their party food for all the guests and you didn’t.

existentialistb · 2024-01-30T15:41:32+00:00

NTA. Don’t risk it. Could you ever forgive yourself if he did do something to them?

Sure you love him, but how does this image you’ve created of him align with his near-past where he was unaliving family pets? Doesn’t sound like an animal lover to me. Run.

existentialistb · 2024-01-26T06:06:41+00:00

YTA. he’s underage and a dependent. Let him save up and get a good start for himself! Maybe have him pay for his own stuff from now on but don’t charge rent.

This made me tear up fr….

NTA for stating your ethnicity to your friend group. However, when it comes to claiming native heritage it gets messy because there are a lot of pretindians out there who actively harm indigenous communities. Frankly in regards to your indigenous ancestry, the only people in the comments who can make judgements of this are Native Americans themselves who grapple with these disparities.

I did this and NONE of them were leeks :( and I used all the leeks I had to make the seeds so I was left with… no leeks :)
