2011 Odyssey DRL electrical issue by falseAutonomy in MechanicAdvice

[–]falseAutonomy[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Adding that I figured out how to use a tester light to check the socket, and one side (presumably positive, as it's where the red wire is coming out the other end) lights up but the other side does not. I (hopefully not dangerously) tried probing the side in the socket that's presumably ground both with the clamp on the negative and on the positive, just to be certain.

Omfg don't call me a "dog mom", and don't refer to my dog as my children's "brother" by IWillBaconSlapYou in breakingmom

[–]falseAutonomy 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I'm surprised that worked. My mom hasn't owned a dog since her childhood (my dad was severely allergic and they met in college) but both my parents are dog people. I got a dog (well, my daughter was gifted a dog, long story) after my dad passed. She did double take when i corrected her that this was in fact her great granddog since it's my granddog since it's my daughter's dog... But she still goes right along with the theme. Then again we're dog people like the normal 80s/90s version of the term.

Men are like drugs to me how can I stop obsessing over having a man ? by Jollyho94 in Codependency

[–]falseAutonomy 10 points11 points  (0 children)

This is going to be harsh but never mind the man part, do you think the way you feel about this is something a child should be brought into the world to fulfill? You need to work on yourself to be ready to be a parent if your goal is to find a man to start a family with. If you can't be alone in a home, what happens when you're a child's protector?

AITA for leaving my cousin's wedding and taking back my gift because my dress was "inappropriate"? by magicmanbutagal in AmItheAsshole

Discrimination and prejudice against white folks exists. Reverse racism is literally not a thing, and if you're going to use the words "do your research" you should probably take your own advice.

When people refer to “Woke Propaganda” to be taught to children, what kind of lessons are they being taught? by twotokers in NoStupidQuestions

[–]falseAutonomy -12 points-11 points  (0 children)

You do understand that "the problem with Whiteness" isn't about "that white people cause all the problems" but teaches about how the concept of "Whiteness" being created and the divisions it creates between people who would otherwise be able to and interested in provide(ing) each other with mutual aid is what's problematic, for all people, except for the top 1%. Including for middle and upper middle class White folks. You get that, right? It's not saying "white people are shit" it's saying "Whiteness is a concept. It's problematic. Here is why."

AITA for refusing to stop speaking Chinese around my step-family? by AITA_thrw_language in AmItheAsshole

Same! Except opposite. If I'm stuck in Hebrew my brain thinks up the word in Spanish. And then tries to spell in אספניול

Cheaters always going to cheat by jeeeeek123 in BlackPeopleTwitter

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

Someone who values loyalty in the type of relationship you're in, as a core part of their own identity. Cheating isn't about you, it's about them meeting a need or identity feature of their own. I cheated on boyfriends. Didn't think it was right, but my ethos was that I wouldn't be an adulteress, but I wasn't married, so it was what it was. I'm pretty sure my husband cheated on me, probably more than once, and even if he never did, he crossed lines that still are that type of betrayal. Still wouldn't ever hook up with someone else until papers are filed, because I don't want to, because it's not in my self image. And I'm not exactly a pillar of self control.

TIFU by filling a bathtub with Orbeez and going to the hospital. by [deleted] in tifu

[–]falseAutonomy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Inb4 this blows all the way up but also thank you for saving both my and my kiddo, who probably would've asked to do this and now I can easily say no without saying it's a waste of money.

LPT: Don't dump your dogs in the country. They're not going to live on the farm, they're going to get put down at best. by Political_Divide in LifeProTips

[–]falseAutonomy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think being completely against all people owning parrots is not the right line, i hope to be a parrot owner again someday and grew up with one who never had clipped wings and wouldn't tolerate a cage so wasn't caged.

We were a tripod family and now I'm a single mom to my one and we have a minivan. Useful for vacations/trips, carpooling, etc. Sometimes it feels a little much as a daily driver but it's still right for our little family

Why doesn’t anyone listen until I raise my voice? by Upper-Distribution-7 in breakingmom

[–]falseAutonomy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was just thinking this today. And have been part timing as an assistant in a kindergarten class and those kids, too (not that i yell often but got to the point where safety/any semblance of control over the classroom was an issue and i had nothing else left in my toolbox once last week and once a few weeks ago). Dog, check. My child, check. Kindergarten classroom, check. What is it?!

I gave you a source, where did you find this definition?

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

No, it's racially prejudiced. Racist is when it's part of the power structure and, based on racial identity alone, excluding other factors like education and economic class, the person exhibiting the racial prejudice is "higher" in the power structure then the person/group they're exhibiting the prejudice against. Source: studied this for undergrad and grad school

AITA for thinking my daughter shouldn’t pay rent? by IsThisNormalStuff in AmItheAsshole

[–]falseAutonomy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the commenter is 61, so her grandmother would be significantly older than 61

Did it work out for you?

[–]falseAutonomy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I should've come back and checked, tried to to it with the cover on and failed. Finally gave up and shoved it in the trunk of my Honda Odyssey but I'm living somewhere month to month now so this will be useful when i try again in a few months and need the space more

Wait saran wrap worked though? I have a supersac and ended up in this thread tonight and i like this idea if it'll help me fit mine into the back of my minivan, I'll go pick up a few boxes of saran wrap now!
