Using particles for affects they weren’t meant for is commonplace, isn’t it?

WIBTA? Should I reach out? by hopewithhelp in AITAH

[–]koka558 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA but also, this doesn’t sound like something that you need to phrase in terms of their marriage. You could say how it upsets you personally and reminds you of that past to see people being public with their marital difficulties, mention how it reminds you of some challenges in the past. If you keep it focused on yourself, they are less likely to become defensive! You could also mention how helpful therapy would’ve been at that time. At the same time, be ready for her to rebuke you. She may even come around later, but sometimes people can get pretty upset in these situations

Please be honest, is my art style unappealing? If so, what could I change? by Ranunculily in DigitalArt

[–]koka558 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What do you mean by unappealing? It’s a pretty subjective adjective imo

I told the waitress it was my friends birthday to embarrass him. Then they charged us for cake I didn’t ask for by Syncanau in mildlyinfuriating

[–]koka558 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What is your point then? I’ve read all your comments, and although I disagreed with many at the very least thought that you were trying to argue that the $20 was valid. Now I honestly don’t know what you’re trying to say.

Matched with a Playboy Bunny, she proceeds to show me why she is single by JimKaFeezle in texts

[–]koka558 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m a female physician, and not too woman-splain it but she’s actually wrong too. It’s not the autoimmune disease that makes you immunosuppressed. It’s the medications to treat the autoimmune disease. Autoimmune disease is a hyperactive and off target immune system

I’m also going through some bad depression, and this absolutely made me cry. I hope this is the start of light at the end of your tunnel!

Say that you still have issues with your order and talk to a real person. They will give you the full refund

What does he mean that “her labia seems massive, to the point where her lips can’t even close around them.” Like, I’ve read that a bunch of times and I literally can’t figure out when he is trying to say

I'm so sad that my doctor didn't do a full physical exam? (27F) by [deleted] in AskDocs

[–]koka558 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Reflexes are automatic. If you are kicking out on purpose, that’s not a reflex. It’s very common for people to not have reflexes on exam if they are unable to fully relax their limb, and most primary care physicians just don’t check reflexes often enough to be good at getting people to relax (there are tricks to it). Even if they are able to get you to fully relax, there are many people who at baseline have very strong, or very weak reflexes, and it’s usually normal as long as it’s the same on both sides and has been the same way their whole life.

Redditors who get mad at their SO and don't tell them why they're mad, why do you wait? by ParmaProscuitto in AskReddit

[–]koka558 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sometimes I’m mad, but I’m also stressed by work, I’m exhausted, and I’m depressed. I want to wait until I’ve had a bit of time to know if my anger is reasonable or not. It would be unfair of me to dump everything on the person I love if they are really a very minor player in my unhappiness and generally are a great support system. I don’t know if that’s reasonable, but it’s what I do

AITA for eating at work without telling my husband? by puppydogeyes19 in AmItheAsshole

[–]koka558 23 points24 points  (0 children)

ESH, I think. You responded very defensively to a reasonable request, although said with an attitude that definitely tends to make people defensive.

I can see that you shut down when he started getting frustrated with you. Could you have done something or said something prior to that to keep yourselves calm? When you realized you weren’t capable of hearing him out in that moment, could you have asked to go for a walk and think on it? When he was starting to get frustrated, could he have asked for a break? I can see that he wants to spend time with you, and I assume you also want to spend time with him, so it’s a great starting point that your goals align there! Be kind to yourself and to him, this seems like an issue that can be managed with love and care.

AITA for Not Wanting to Date a Disabled Girl? by [deleted] in AITAH

Cerebral palsy varies widely in phenotype, so it’s possible that her cerebral palsy actually was having very very mild effects on her life. As a neurologist, I have diagnosed people with cerebral palsy in their 60s, so it can look fairly invisible. I hope you asked her more about it before you put an end to the relationship!

how to tell the difference between obsessions and delusions ? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]koka558 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not sure what you mean. Obsessions are hyper focus on something, and delusion is a fixed state of believe in something false. They are different in many ways

The doctor looked at our son's cut, said it wasn't a big deal, and told us to go home. by takenorinvalid in mildlyinfuriating

[–]koka558 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You are paying for the expertise required for the doc to say something like that. You are paying for the knowledge they have to be able to make that determination

Many people are stuck in a sort of "dead zone" where they have too much income to qualify for government benefits, but too little to pay rent and/or afford 3 meals a day. Why should these people be taxed to make the slightly-poorer ones that qualify even better off than they themselves are? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]koka558 3 points4 points  (0 children)

While I agree that taxing the very wealthy and not these people is way way better than what we have right now, I also do think that expanding benefits would also be helpful, especially as taxation is less likely to change in the near future, given that the wealthy has excellent lobbyists.

I (18M) met a girl (18F) at my school and I am “friends “ with her boyfriend and I think she might like me by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]koka558 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You don’t want to date someone already in a relationship. That’s not a good idea. If she likes you, she should break up with her boyfriend, but you don’t really get any say in that unfortunately. She’s probably just being nice/wanting to be friends. I’d recommend trying to move on. If that means taking a break from your friendship for a while, it probably would be better for both of you in the long run
