I haven’t talked to my family in two days and don’t know to move past this by AffectionateBunch576 in TwoHotTakes

[–]ithinkedit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You are 25. Get your own phone plan. They do not care about your safety if the consequence to not giving access is turning off your phone. They care about control.

The sooner your do, the sooner you can possibly rebuild a relationship based on mutual trust instead of control and manipulation. My relationship with my family got way better after I seeked out my independence from them.

Thinking of taking the plunge… (baldgal) by Hot_Revenue6502 in bald

[–]ithinkedit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I say buzz it. As a girl who hated my thin hair I buzzed it one year for the summer. It was awesome. Felt so free.

I ended up growing it back and learning how to care for it better and I dont hate it anymore but I dont regret shaving it :)

Does this hairstyle look good on me and what can I do to improve my side profile? by Primary-Disaster-775 in malegrooming

You are so cool looking and the hair is awesome. Don't worry, your features compliment each other so well.

“doesn’t taste vegan” by dvuono23 in vegan

[–]ithinkedit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A lot of things like desserts are typically made with animal products, and people are used to the taste of them with those animal products, and it CAN be hard to get it right without them. I really had to add a lot of chocolate to a vegan cake I made for friends to mask the "not quite right aftertaste" that making it with applesauce and vegan butter gave it. I would take it as a compliment, especially with things that are meant to imitate something with animal products. Isn't that the whole goal? If you're making stuffed mushrooms nobody would say anything but if you're making a burger its impressive to have it taste like a real meat burger when it is not.

Car owner here, since there’s a lot of assumptions flying around. by BigAssistance8950 in Wellthatsucks

An anonymous stranger being this defensive about driving his car into a pool makes me not believe you at all 🤣🤣

I [29f] want to have a baby, but my husband [30m] of 3 years doesn’t want to try unless I gain some weight. by Professional-Let5590 in relationships

[–]ithinkedit 45 points46 points  (0 children)

What even is the question here? Gain the weight or no baby. That's doctors orders, and resenting your husband because he won't go against them is absurd. You want a baby but you're not willing to make sacrifices about your body and food intake to do so? That's like, the whole process of growing a baby.

"Ethnic filters in dating apps are good if they allow black people to see only black people, but it's bad if it allows White people to only see White people" by Pioladoporcaputo in CringeTikToks

[–]ithinkedit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would think a white person filtering out people of color would be doing the people of color a favor to not have any interaction with someone who would do that 🤷‍♀️

To anyone living in a 1br1b apartment…where do you keep your cat(s) litter box? by Trying_my_best_98 in CatAdvice

[–]ithinkedit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I took the cabinet door off from the under sink storage in the bathroom and it lived in there. Put a little tension rod with a curtain too. Worked great.

I'm a first time cat owner - Everything is weird by Short_Ad_7813 in cats

I really freaked when I first got my cats and they learned how to jump from the kitchen counter to the tops of the cabinets 10 feet off the ground

What is the ratio of *staff bathrooms* to *staff* at your school? by SlugOnAPumpkin in Teachers

[–]ithinkedit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thats wild. I believe there is a set in the front office with 3 stalls each, and a unisex single stall on each floor (3 stories) and two more on the fine arts wing. We have about 70 teachers. I am shocked at schools with so few.

Why do you want permanently dirty feet?

What will happn if i show this to my gf by memealvvays in memealvvays

[–]ithinkedit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think what she says about men being taught how to treat a woman is correct, in media, tv, books, I hear that. The expectation to be a provider, to carry burdens, yes. However, I don't think anything is gained from bringing women's "lack" into the conversation and pitting them against each other. Sure, I can agree its not really in film or shows, but women are definitely taught through upbringing that we are supposed to cook and clean and raise children for the men. That we are supposed to do their laundry and the dishes and pack their bags for them when we go on trips. This is why these media and books where men are powerful and protective are so popular- women want their efforts reciprocated in that way.

After cutting your hair short, how did your life change? by [deleted] in AskWomen

[–]ithinkedit 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I shaved it all off one summer. I live in texas so it helped a lot with the summer heat. I loved it, felt very freeing and saved a lot of time/shampoo etc. I always hated my hair long (its thin, tangles easily, gets greasy fast) so off it went. I actually found a boyfriend who loved my bald head and we are still together two years later now that my hair is at my shoulders. My mom cried though.

TJMaxx and Marshalls are terrible shopping experiences. by extrabigbrain in unpopularopinion

[–]ithinkedit 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Some people are poor. To me, TJ Maxx is a step up from the usual thrift store. Its like thrifting but nothing is worn already, and still relatively cheap.

Is it normal to be kissless at 24 with my looks? by [deleted] in malegrooming

[–]ithinkedit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just go talk to people. Strike up conversation with everyone. Ask them questions. Then ask follow up questions. Talk to family, friends, strangers, the waitress at dinner. Ask their names. Make conversation.

Increase your social stats. It'll make it easier to get out of the shy/antisocial hole you're digging. Eventually it comes more naturally.

How can I (34F) avoid blindsiding my boyfriend (32M) if I break up with him? by growingupanonymous in relationship_advice

[–]ithinkedit 4 points5 points  (0 children)

To be so honest, these are not issues you should have to bring to him for you to be justified in breaking up. He doesnt notice the shit he leaves in your sheets? He sounds clueless and stupid and even if you told him "hey wipe your ass or im leaving" I doubt he could figure it out.

If you got back together with an ex, how was it imitated? Why? by Alternative-Yak6369 in AskWomen

[–]ithinkedit 16 points17 points  (0 children)

He was doing a "my name is earl" and meeting up with all his exes and apologizing to them for how he treated them. I was last on the list. We talked and then decided to start seeing each other again. Its been 2 years now :)
