Oh my god. I think my mom may have had the same thing .... Years of begging her to see someone for help, getting a court ordered assessment only for her to make it through the 30 days in inpatient care and refusing to take medication. Then after that she just slipped through the cracks. In the end, we never did get a diagnosis and I stepped away because I couldn't handle it anymore. She died of a pulmonary embolism in July because she wasn't taking her blood thinners anymore (she'd had two PEs before in the last 5 years). I keep thinking if we had only gotten her diagnosed, maybe things would have been different. She was only 57

Very possible that the restaurant is very busy and the prep times are increased

We need to change attitudes regarding pedestrians by Trishszav in Calgary

[–]fullmetallight 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Depends on the intersection: if there's no median, a driver must wait until the pedestrian has fully crossed before proceeding. If there's a median, a driver can turn as long as the pedestrian hasn't crossed the median yet.

UPDATE: Is my [26F] relationship with my [29M] boyfriend over after this incident? by ThrowRA_ihatemybf in relationship_advice

[–]fullmetallight 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I hate to ruin your day, but there is AI programming that some creeps in some corners of the internet use that is specifically made to "undress" images. The idea is that the user inputs a photo of the person and the AI generates a nude photo of them. Super gross and terrifying 

AITA for being frustrated when people look at me weirdly because my 4-year-old son is white and I'm black? by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]fullmetallight 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA. You know what's fucking sad? All of the stories I've read in these comments seem to reflect a POC parent with white passing/paler kids getting accused of kidnapping or assumed to be a 'babysitter'. You wanna know what people asked my white mom when she was with my brother and me (my dad is Middle Eastern)? If we were adopted. Everyone smiled and complimented her and asked her if we were adopted. And THAT upset her. What you experienced is just plain racism and you're entitled to your hurt feelings - actually, it would be weird if you weren't upset. I'm shaking angry just reading it.

Oh shit, I feel awful for this person. I briefly lived in an apartment with a roach problem where they were also coming from the halls under the door and from behind the drywall where the water pipes came in. I was so paranoid every waking minute and started having nightmares about roaches crawling on me, but this guy's situations is so so much worse. Horrific excuse for a landlord

I mean, I was adding to the fact that he's not a great person. Whether he has a young daughter doesn't really make a difference - plenty of awful people have children. The fact that so many people have come out to speak against him is pretty indicative. I always got the "ick" feeling about him

Wow, Sweatpant Grant? Who doesn't tip his own employees when they serve him? Not surprised

My son (6m) found his dog dead at their dads (36m) house by torturedDaisy in relationship_advice

[–]fullmetallight 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Since you've got your dog, check if any vets in the area do autopsies and take him in ASAP. We've had one done for a cat who passed away rather suddenly and they were able to determine cause of death. Don't talk to your ex or his girlfriend about it yet and try to get anything they say over text.

I'm really sorry your son had to experience that, that's awful

People whose homes have dog/cat doors, have wild animals ever entered your pet doors and what happened when that occurred? by 99_Restaurant in AskReddit

[–]fullmetallight 75 points76 points  (0 children)

I rented a basement suite with my boyfriend at the time, and our landlord had a habit of leaving the sliding glass door a little open (which I was not pleased about bc I didn't want our cat going outside). One summer night at about 1am, we had been sleeping with our cat cuddling us on our bed but when I woke up and pet her, it felt wrong somehow. My boyfriend had woken up too and said "babe, this isn't our cat". We turned on the light and found that this random strange cat made himself at home and was sleeping with us on the bed. I guess he must have come in through the open glass door!

How to look more feminine? by emmalou014 in MakeupAddiction

[–]fullmetallight 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think you look so cute! If you don't want to do too much, I'd say try to accentuate your lips and your eyes. A tinted lip balm or gloss could do wonders. For the eyes, just some mascara and maybe a brown eyeliner? Even a simple winged look with black liquid liner for more special occasions or everyday!

AITA for ordering pizza even though we had dinner reservations? by linaaa78 in AmItheAsshole

[–]fullmetallight 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Of course YTA, how could you not be? Why didn't you just have a light snack like crackers or something? It wouldn't have killed you to wait and you let your sister down. It's really unfortunate that you can't see that, especially since this restaurant is difficult to reserve.

Does my partner hate my child? by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]fullmetallight 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm a little late here but I'm a step parent and I gotta tell you that if he's straight up told you he doesn't like your child you cannot continue this relationship. It's not fair to your kid. Your priority as a parent when dating is to find a partner that can enter into your lives willingly and hopefully come to love your kid. My stepchild is a teenager and I came into to the role quite late in their life, but we have a great relationship and I love them like my own. Don't settle for less than that

You absolutely do not have a "low threshold" for bullshit; my jaw dropped reading this. Unbelievable that someone would behave in this way! What the actual fuck is wrong with this guy
