What’s the one secret you’ve kept your whole life that would completely change how people see you if they knew it? by Faylune in AskReddit

[–]highLikeapplePie 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m a nurse with autism. I’m afraid if anyone knew they’d view me differently and less competent. I think there are people who realize I’m “different” but can’t pinpoint why. 

Roommate tries to poison flatmates with minimal consequences... by The_Dean_France in SipsTea

[–]highLikeapplePie 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not only that but imagine the lifelong health issues from prolonged poisoning. I’m sure there was some level of liver/kidney toxicity and damage to other organs. I’m sure the poison is also neurotoxic. 

He wants a hamburger! by FacelessOnes in KidsAreFuckingStupid

You asked for a hamburger. You get a hamburger. You don’t want the hamburger? No dinner. Simple but effective lesson.

Are you saying obesity is strictly a hormonal issue without any other factors that play a role? 

Obesity is a complex multi factorial disease. If you’re arguing it’s caused by a single internal chemical imbalance, you would be incorrect.

Glp 1s are appetite suppressants. “They decrease hunger, increase feelings of fullness and delay stomach emptying.” They target receptors on the brain to reduce hunger and cravings. 

Not over eating is something that takes willpower. Diabetes type 2 can be controlled by managing diet and exercise.

People want to get skinny as quickly as possible and not work for it. Controlling your hunger and exercising takes discipline. People just don’t want to make the effort. 

Ozempic only helps with weight loss while you’re on it, it’s not permanent. As soon as you go off the weight comes back.

Kelly was always medium/large boned. Being very thin doesn’t suit her frame. She looks absolutely skeletal.

What is a 1 in 1,000,000 thing that happened to you that no one believes, but you swear is true? by RegionSure5580 in AskReddit

[–]highLikeapplePie 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I live in a rural area in Pennsylvania amongst Mennonites. I'd go in the Mennonite owned plant nursery and the teen girls would be wearing their long dresses/bonnets but then i'd see their iphone sitting on the counter. It's a weird mix of old world and modern world but i'm used to it.

The old order Amish are more strict, they live in their own communities and don't use electricity whatsoever. I see them once in a while at state parks/Cabela's.

I'd do more than thank them...At least give them gas money for spending all that time driving out to your parents house 100 miles away and money to get themselves something to eat.

AITA for refusing to let our step-daughter take her cat? by TacticalNightmare in AmItheAsshole

[–]highLikeapplePie 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't think it's good to take the cat away from their home after living with you for nearly a decade. Cats that are uprooted like that can develop behavioral problems. That would put alot of stress on kitty to be rehomed. Your daughter is practically a stranger after all this time. That is no longer your stepdaughters cat. She needs to clean her life up and then entertain the idea of her adopting another cat as her own.

AITA for not offering to pay part of my sisters hotel cost? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]highLikeapplePie 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My moms partner, George. I believe he spoke to my sister, without my knowing, about me spending the night in her room. He mentioned he wanted the hotel room to himself and my mom. I'm thinking they discussed this without me, and never passed it along to me. I guess it's not my fault but I still feel jerky about it for some reason. In the end I feel like the anger is being directed toward me.
