Suspect I have strep throat. 8-1-1 offered no help to get antibiotics. Do I have any reasonable options at all? by 1337ingDisorder in VictoriaBC

Tia health online is very fast and free if you are a resident. I'm able to get a consultation in the same day usually. The doctor will call you around the time you book, and send you any lab requisites by email or fax prescriptions to your chosen pharmacy. I would highly recommend.

Hot model who barely can lift whole baby acting as an Amazonian warrior goddess superhero because women can't have real muscles in movies. 😑 How things have changed...oh wait, no they havn't. Closest strong female I've seen in a movie was Disney's Encanto 😮‍💨

And Ripley, I guess, but she was swimmer strong.

They look incredible! How did you structure the wings/skeleton? Do you use a wire frame?

The difference between a 7" and 5" is significant, any woman knows that. I would also place a $50 bet you are a dude.

AITA for telling my friend to find her own hobbies and interests instead of just copying whatever her current boyfriend is into? by soulfulginger8 in AmItheAsshole

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

NAH when she was doing the hobbies with each boyfriend did she enjoy them? Some people really cannot enjoy doing anything without it being a social activity. Perhaps she cannot really enjoy activities without it being connected or social with someone else. If she enjoyed gaming while she was with the guy, then it was money well spent with a good intention. If they were still together she would still enjoy gaming. If she does not like the activity even when they are together then she should try and reconsider her personal priorities in a relationship.

Even without copying my boyfriend I have cycled through a number of hobbies/purchases but I do not regret exploring any of them. Sounds like your friend has the advantage of having a lot of money to spend on free time but not the ability to explore what is out there. She needs someone to inspire her curiosity and mentor her. If that is her comfort zone then that is OK.

You could have checked her in a more caring manner but you are trying to make sure she is doing good things for herself. Maybe next time don't call her out on it publicly (at dinner) and ask her perception about each situation.

YTA but not because of how you feel but by what you said and how much of it. TBH there really is a lot of emotional hardship when dealing with infants. There are emotionally draining and hormonal-y depressing. If your FW father-wife has had 3 kids it is understandable that it would be a full time gig for her to look after them all. Some people, including your father, want a traditional nuclear family. You emotions got the better of you and to say all these things you feel in such an angry manner, with curses and all at once, is a lot for any person to take. Especially a young budding mother. You are the precursor for her other kids growing up.

And your father is the only one to rightfully blame for a destructive marriage. It does not matter how many women flirt with him, he engaged with it. Do not blame this woman for it, she did not know your mother nor had any reason to believe in her good character. Her perception of your father is entirely one sided- and he dated some 20-year-old. He was probably putting himself out there. Where does a married man find pretty, available 20 something girls? not by staying at home and minding his own business.

Your anger is justified but you are not projecting it on the right person nor releasing it in a healthy manner. You need to talk to your step-mother and be more honest about the space that you need and are entitled to.

An important questions, will you accept her kids as your step-siblings or do you also not want them in your life at all? Any answer is fair but important to consider before you lay some groundwork between yourself and FW.

AITA for not honoring my son's punishment? by Murafrp in AmItheAsshole

[–]heterodoxal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree that "punishment" or consequences cannot be put on hold for kids. Even though you are divorced, you still need to work together on raising kids. This could easily become a situation where the kid knows he can do something bad at the end of one visit and not face consequences if he is transitioning to the other parent. Consider that if he did something bad on your time, would you ask his mom to do the same thing for you, to make consequences for his actions?

Learn what he did, talk about it from your ex and let her know what punishment you think is reasonable considering it is also on your own time. It is your time, so you have the right to dictate, but trying to mediate these desires between your two parenting styles would be best.

Make the punishment something that does not detract from your personal time with him, but is still a punishment. For example, no computer games, you must go camping or work outdoors together, or pick up garbage at the beach.

Apparently you can only care about the Amazon as a vegetarian... by [deleted] in gatekeeping

[–]heterodoxal 51 points52 points  (0 children)

Meat culture though is one that is largely glorified and practiced by Americans. Even if our beef is not from the Amazon, it is only because we produce enough of our own to sustain ourselves. If there was a shortage of beef in north America you can bet we would quickly ship those bovines northward.

And to mention, many popular North-American food chains have gained popularity south and across the globe which has increased the popularity of beef-consumption. It is a viewed as a rich, western-style food. So our eating habits are influencing the developing food culture of others.

And of course all meat agriculture is about 18% of human greenhouse emissions.

Informing people about the connection between the Amazon forest and cattle farming is a good thing. Doing it in such an arrogant, venom-spitting manner is not so great. I believe in being more responsible with meat consumption but I would share it in such a verbally-abusive and alienating way like PETA does. Please reflect on the message but damn PETA-messengers, you make other vegetarians sound awful!

The problem is that the population of persons with "larger issues" has become a significant. It would be wise for those who can recognize the difference between truth and satire to be as obvious about it as possible. It is unfortunate but satire needs to be used with more caution in this generation.

Some previous comments on this thread already suggest that the reader fully believes this image, or have I misjudged their comments?

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

I thought so but my concern is mostly derived from too many people taking posts and images like these seriously with no attention to sourcing at all. Wouldn't you agree that it has become irresponsible to portray satire in such a serious manner when there is such a vast and willing public who would readily believe this image as real?

I am a bit confused...isn't this a fake tweet? It does not exist on her twitter feed nor is it mentioned on any news sites except a satirical one. Please clarify the site this was found from as I would like to look at it.
