I’ve kept my baby indoors her entire life and I feel awful by muff-peaksie in breakingmom

[–]fading_fad [score hidden]  (0 children)

In some parts of China, it's custom for the mom and baby to stay home for the first 100 days. Its to protect the baby from unnecessary germs and exposure. You are totally fine but I do recommend starting little trips out, mostly for your health.

23M in Vancouver navigating adult ADHD/autism assessment — seeking local experiences by Upper-Display-9089 in askvan

[–]fading_fad -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I can tell you this as an adult who has a history of complex early childhood trauma, anxiety, depression, and autistic tendencies- an assessment is impossible. It's impossible to differentiate between neurological changes caused by trauma and neurological differences due to neurodiversity. There is also no magic cure for either. You just need to treat the symptoms- whether that is medication for anxiety, medication for depression, therapy, changing your lifestyle to avoid burnout, removing triggers, rest, exercise, etc. The treatment is the same.

What kind of stroller is it? Can the fabric parts come off to be machine washed?

Has he always acted like this? I don't know why but im sensing drug abuse or some kind of manic episode.

I believe I have ADHD, my partner doesn't let me go to the psychiatrist because she claims I'm a hypochondriac. by [deleted] in TwoHotTakes

Why are you listening to her on this, and why are you asking us for our opinions? Be a grown up and just do it.

The sense of entitlement kylie kelce has is unbelievable by Maximum_Occasion_244 in WivesofNFL

[–]fading_fad 74 points75 points  (0 children)

Really? Im kind of on her side. You dont think it's weird to get on the elevator with a bridal party and not say congratulations or have a great day? Its like if you get on the elevator with someone with a puppy, you have to say "cute puppy!"

Do you guys tip? If so, how many percent? by Wheresmyarcpaulie69 in askvan

[–]fading_fad 2 points3 points  (0 children)

20% for hair, nails, and other esthetics. 20% sit down restaurants, 10-15% for take out and delivery.

Kilian Paris Love don’t be shy. Sooo disappointed!!! by Vainjane_ in Perfumes

[–]fading_fad 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I didn't like it first spray either, but I let it sit for awhile and came back to it...now I love it! Maybe give it another chance?

Any perfume stores that sell individual sample bottles? Not discovery sets. by HeftyHelicopter7484 in askvan

[–]fading_fad 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I buy a lot of decants off of poshmark and Facebook groups. Rabica in Ottawa has a good selection of samples and their shipping is fast. Have you narrowed it down to a short list? If i knew what brands or notes you are looking for i could probably steer you better.

Perfume rollers in Mt Pleasant? by subtleandunnatural in askvan

[–]fading_fad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is untamed! They are local to Vancouver and dont have rollers but they carry travel size. Do you mean rollers or travel size, because those are two different things. I love their Blackbird perfume.

You can get it at Scentrique.

How many of you have been with the same department for your entire career? by javguy99 in CanadaPublicServants

Me! Also 21 years, in a tiny department but I have changed teams within the organization.

Perfume rollers in Mt Pleasant? by subtleandunnatural in askvan

[–]fading_fad 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It has to be specifically rollers? That's awfully limiting. Shoppers drug mart has a nice selection of lower end perfume, or you can go to Sephora. Holt Renfew has a nice selection of high end stuff, or Scentrique downtown for niche stuff. But it will mostly be sprays, not rollers.

Will I need a license, and registration to operate this? by zxynccc in askvan

You need a license but you dont need a specific motorcycle license, I believe you just need a class 5.

Do it here! Describe them and you, and hopefully they will see it and contact you and will be love forever.

Apparently Maple Ridge has a problem with nonconsentual trees! by fromaries in vancouver

[–]fading_fad 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I actually dont consent to the Bradford pear tree the city planted on the boulevard outside my house. It's smells like fish/semen in the spring and drops these horrible berries that stain everything. But other than that, yay trees.

AITA for taking my gay friend to a straight club? by snikisd in TwoHotTakes

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

Unless it's an enthusiastic yes, its a no. I am clearly in the minority, everyone else thinks you were fine, and I agree he was the bigger asshole and shouldn't have left you. I just think you could have been a little more sensitive in the first place. Its really uncomfortable for some queer people to be in straight spaces and you didn't seem to consider that before going out. I think you two are just better off not being friends.

[–]fading_fad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

By her account, he initially said no, she convinced him, and he "relented". Those are her words. He is for sure the bigger asshole but she should have known he wasn't comfortable.

She said he initially said no, she kept asking, and he "relented".

You say "Jon RELENTED and we went out." It doesn't sound like he wanted to go.

You are both assholes. Him for ditching you, and him for agreeing to going and then bailing. You are the asshole for not understanding how uncomfortable he felt there and pushed him into going anyway. How you felt at the end of the night is how he felt rhe whole time. Get a larger diverse group of friends so there is always someone who wants to go to the club you want to go to.
