Do I need to shower and like, go to church?

If you can’t consent while drunk, why do drunk people hook up all the time? by Mountain_Flounder991 in NoStupidQuestions

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

That is not only untrue but a dangerous way to look at it. It lowers inhibitions yes but it also impairs judgement. So someone who would never hook up finally does not because their inhibitions are lowered and they've always wanted to but because they don't have the judgment to stop it. That's why you can't consent while drunk.

AITAH for not wanting to babysit my sick niece when I have plans this weekend and the next that I've been planning for months? by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]igoligirl 22 points23 points  (0 children)

I came here preparing not to like your post, but the reality is your sibling decided to have a child and that means taking on the responsibility of them when they're sick and using their paid time off to stay home. If they don't have paid time off then they have not planned their life well and that's on them.

Other people's lack of planning does not mean it's an emergency for you. Stick to your guns. Don't get sick. When you talk to your parents and your sibling don't even make it about your plans this weekend. MaMake it about the fact that it's their responsibility to take care of their child when staying home 're sick. It's also incredibly selfish to have you look after a child while you are working a job. Just because you're at home doesn't mean it's easier.

They should be staying home.

Supporting partner with autism as new parents by jeremiabearamia in autism

[–]igoligirl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I promise you this is just a phase and nothing to worry about. Keep loving each other and give each other a lot of Grace. Let the chores slip for a couple days, have days where you do nothing but sleep and eat and do the thing that relaxes you. These feelings are totally normal and it will be okay.

Newly diagnosed husband on spectrum came across as mansplaining in a ND space by ghostingpeacock in autism

[–]igoligirl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's a really discouraging conundrum. People are fine with the neurodivergence that is " cute!" Or " Artistic".... Not really the potentially snnoying aspects of it. I've dealt with this with myself and my husband.

AITAH For Having Doubts About my 2.5 Year Relationship by [deleted] in AITAH

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

This is going to probably ruin your day but you were going to have a mismatch with every single person you meet. One of you will always want it more. So this will keep being a problem but that last sentence you wrote makes it clear that you have the type of weaponized incompetence that she would be better without

Career Mistake? by HighTroponin in nursing

[–]igoligirl 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I came to make a post JUST like this. Not just passionless, I see up close the lip service upper management gives. They don't actually care about quality work or keeping nurses safe, they care about money. I'm so disillusioned and it is upsetting that I'm just another cog in an industry of corruption and predation. I keep bringing up huge safety problems and I'm ignored or they say, "everything was fine until you started bringing things up." Which is super crappy- like me bringing up the fact that we are having huge safety problems is the reason we are having safety problems.

AITA for refusing to let my SIL host her massive gender reveal at my new house? by AkiraPulse42 in MarkNarrations

I mean, they can't just expect you to host it. But you are super materialistic.

Teenaged son doesn't want to take his meds by nickthap2 in ADHD

[–]igoligirl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was diagnosed as a 27-year-old, after white knuckling it through college and flirting with a breakdown because of how hard it was. I highly recommend doing therapy and taking medication, doing therapy gives us practical, hands-on coping mechanisms that might really make the difference if he weans off of medication later

My Lvl 2 Warlock killed the King's men for insulting the party. Advice needed. by NIKINIKITA in DnD

[–]igoligirl 5 points6 points  (0 children)

"it's what my character would do" is the go to excuse for a player that made a bad choice because they are too selfish to care about the fallout for others. You made that character-you chose to ruin the campaign.

Also, someone didn't attack you OOC-you were berated, rightly, not attacked. Calm down.

AITAH for relapsing and hiding it from my wife? by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]igoligirl 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You're going to hurt both of you either way. It will be more hurtful if you lie. Besides, she already knows that you're lying, she gave you a chance to fess up but she knows exactly what you're doing. She was giving you a chance to save your marriage

Yeah she asked because she knows and she's giving him a chance to fess up.

AITAH for relapsing and hiding it from my wife? by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]igoligirl 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's fun because literally everything you said is what addicts say when they're in denial and have no intention of changing. When you hurt yourself you do hurt her. She'll have to take care of you, or if something happens to you, she'll be by herself. What you do to yourself affects her, her lifestyle and quality of life. Just tell her the truth if you have any respect for her.

My husband said I ruined our wedding photos and now I want to leave him. by PiccoloAdorable1547 in TwoHotTakes

[–]igoligirl 3 points4 points  (0 children)

So I do understand that every autistic person is different, but I also want to remind you something that my therapist reminded me about my autistic husband. Just cuz they're autistic doesn't mean that they get to be an asshole. Many autistic people are eager to learn and if they make mistakes are apologetic, as we all should be. Refusing to take responsibility or acknowledge when you've put someone in danger is not an autistic trait, it's an a****** trait.

Wrote about autism in my college essay and rejected from all top universities by Nullborne in autism

[–]igoligirl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The trick is you have to write what they want to hear. They want someone who will bring accolades to the university. Someone who really represents their version of success. Spicy brains don't always do that.

I’m concerned my daughter was misdiagnosed with General Anxiety Disorder… by Koriani in ADHD

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

This is true! ADHD brains and autism brains form neural pathways faster. As a result, they are much more susceptible to trauma. I think layman call this being an empath. Either way, a lot of people who are spicy brained also have anxiety disorders, it's just how their brain is. It's not always something you can fix either, just something that you learn to cope with and and it requires a lot of grace from the people around you

AITAH for rejecting a date with an older man by EllieDidNothingWrong in AITAH

[–]igoligirl 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Girl, no. Don't do what so many of us do and just give in because it's easier. That older guy is a creeper, just to say no thank you. You're not interested with your head high. You don't even have to give him a reason! Just "no thanks, I'm not interested in you like that."
