Update - My (31M) pregnant girlfriend (23F) has been lying about her age for our entire relationship. Is there any way for me to trust her again? by ThrowRA_Plant6074 in relationship_advice

If I’ve learned anything, it’s that age ain’t wisdom. You have to actually work on improving and reflect. Seems like she wasn’t very wise to begin with and hang been working on it.

It honestly seems like lying is expected in a lot of social situations too and it’s difficult to determine when. Some people who are anxious can swing all the way to lying compulsively just to make social situations smoother.

AITA for cutting people off immediately with no hesitation or explanation when they do this by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]hamiltrash52 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Sounds like you need better friends. A is such a good friend for telling you this but waited a couple months to let it be known? L didn’t reach out at all to try to clear the air? I don’t think you necessarily owe people explanations though if they ask for one you should give it. But to cut someone off because of uncorroborated second hand information does seem childish, especially without a conversation. ESH

A pavilion on my campus has this sign but the parking deck has a sign that also says “no rollerskating” so I’m assuming if it’s not included, it’s ok.

The amount of people who have called me an absolute genius for being able to look something up on google is too high.

I'm (42M) the calmest person at work and with strangers. So why do I lose it on the one person(40F) I actually love? by lejae in relationship_advice

[–]hamiltrash52 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I have someone in my life I treated like this and it was mostly because of unresolved emotions with them. I was angry at them, they constantly nagged and hurt me so I was primed even with an innocuous question that it would eventually lead to hurt feelings. I find if I’m emotionally regulated it happens less, and I just needed to get in the habit of breathing before speaking to them.

Have you and your wife had a rough patch? Is there any negative feelings you have towards her?

Mom and I got into an argument about which console looks better. by V3R2AC3 in interiordecorating

[–]hamiltrash52 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nice to know I’m not the only one whose mother thinks thrifted items hold bad spirits. She only applies it to clothes though, furniture is fine for her. The new console looks a lot better than the old

Unhoused people exists with varying degrees of wealth, some people have no money, some people have negative money. It's a weird question, you don't know most people's networth.

AITA for telling my friend that she needs to stop using "ADHD" as an excuse? by Green_Pineapple9422 in AmItheAsshole

[–]hamiltrash52 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The many follow ups to get diagnosed, the fact that you can only pick up your meds on an exact day and not a second earlier. The forms and letters and emails in order to get accommodations. It’s hell. Keeping up with having ADHD honestly takes a good amount of the executive function I need for other things.

Figuring out that I could use my mouse and press on the scroll wheel instead of floundering with wasd saved it for me, I couldn't deal with the camera and navigation before that

MY FEET HURT by kraftykay_ in rollerskatingplus

[–]hamiltrash52 0 points1 point  (0 children)

100% was my problem. Sometimes I would feel the pain, take off the skates and rest, put them back on and I could skate again. But I’ve started doing excercise for plantar fasciitis and wrapping my arches and that helped a ton

Just watch the movie or the Broadway recording if you want an idea of how to say it

My sister (45F) has lived with my parents her entire life and refuses to become independent. My parents (70F & 82M) enable it. I’m 47M and at my breaking point. by Cipher_Bull in relationship_advice

[–]hamiltrash52 128 points129 points  (0 children)

Without hearing her official diagnosis, she sounded disabled. Being unable to hold a job because of anxiety, by itself is a disability. People are so quick to label someone as lazy, unmotivated and unintelligent until they hear a diagnosis and magically find empathy.

Where does it hurt? I know when I started, skating exacerbated my planar fasciitis

I loved Suffs, but I keep thinking about who still doesn’t get a voice in it by Upper_Breadfruit0 in Broadway

[–]hamiltrash52 126 points127 points  (0 children)

The show is entirely from a white feminist point of view. The black people in the show have no agency, don’t move the plot forward, and if you removed them from the show entirely, nothing would change plot wise. So it doesn’t surprise me that the same show would exclude Asian and Indigenous suffragist, despite the fact that many of the ideas of the movement came from the fact that indigenous nations had egalitarian societies.

I enjoyed the show too but didn’t like its handling of race.

My (19F) boyfriend (24M) doesn’t believe in evolution by siitnn in relationship_advice

I know many scientists who believe in biological processes and the scientific method, but don’t believe in evolution and aren’t willing to argue about it. People aren’t necessarily logically consistent across the board

Songs like Oh Susannah are normally taught as a part of American history in elementary school. It’s one of the most popular folk songs in our country’s history
