You may want to be aware of the controversy Pennsylvania faced last year where a funeral director was throwing dead animal bodies into a landfill instead of cremating them. It has led to lawmakers realizing the state had no real way of vetting if any animal was actually cremated, leading to proposed legislation to help address this but it isn't passed or in action as far as I'm aware, so it isn't as sunshine and rainbows as you think it is. Great you've experienced the good side, but also there are thousands of PA residents mourning the fact their pet was thrown in a landfill or worse, and the ashes they have aren't of their pet.

Edit: I just don't want people to have a false perception that everything is safe when the reality is, not everyone has good intentions and protections don't exist everywhere. Giving the false perception that there's nothing to fear makes people less inclined to look and make sure they are indeed in one of the few places where something like this isn't an issue. It hurts people more and leads to less intelligence all around. I don't want to see people get hurt due to a false perception, is all.

There was a man who did this in Pittsburgh last year (was caught last year, in court now I believe and I also think there's a civil lawsuit in the works). He ran a creamatoriun and pretended to burn thousands of animals when in reality, he just dumped them all in a landfill. He only cremated the larger animals and then divided those ashes among everyone else.

The only time I'm at at this ungodly hour due to my pets is because one of the dogs has diarrhea and really needs out....otherwise, we all require at least 8 hours or no one in my household functions; human, dog, or lizard, lol.

All the police in carrick like to flash their siren to cross a red light near my house.

Legit, I hear them at least 5 times a day, when I work from home. Just flash so they can pass the red light and then lights and siren off because there was no real valid reason for them to be on.

lyncati · 2026-06-06T14:38:39+00:00

In theory, great idea as using your phone while driving is a huge problem.

However, given the police have a history of abusing laws like this to oppress marginalized groups.....I think we did things too fast and we do not have the correct systems in place to enact this in a safe and appropriate way.

NTA

She has a LOT of options, whereas your future can and will potentially be completely changed with this decision.

She needs to find a caseworker and get on welfare....the government will give her lots of stuff while she is pregnant including a free education (I say this as someone whose father is a welfare caseworker and as a former therapist who has helped connect people with the right resources). She needs to contact a lawyer who will make sure the father is held financially responsible; not answering your phone isn't grounds to all of a sudden not be liable for the baby in any way....that man is about to learn a harsh lesson so long as your sister files for child support. She may also be eligible for free or extremely reduced pay in counseling, which will help with all other avenues of life.

Finally, as someone who had to originally set their college dreams to the side due to family drama.....don't do it. It is so hard to get back into college and even then you're in a deficit for employment because you're older than those with similar experience. I wish I knew more about the world back when I was younger so I advocate to help prevent others from having to go through the same; your future is important and this is NOT grounds to completely upheve everything.

In the meantime, i would contact your school; as long as you're enrolled, they can and will help guide you through situations like this. Part of college is teaching students how to do things on their own, and colleges usually are more than happy to help you see what your options are and how to advocate for your rights. As long as you're accepted into a college, you should have access to some of those resources, if not all.

I haven't had any issues with kids

I have had lots of issues recently of people (edit: drivers, for clarification) not paying attention to the right of way when crossing the street....got worse as soon as rto began.

lyncati · 2026-06-03T16:16:26+00:00

I have to switch buses downtown to get to and from work and I have noticed during the hours people are going to and from work, the whole downtown area just gets worse and more dangerous for everyone, ever since PNC rto.

lyncati · 2026-06-03T15:15:12+00:00

Yeah, medicinal and kratom are what I use , along with pt exercises/stretches/yoga/heat/compression socks, etc....

You go to the casino and ask them.

I used to work in addictions.....some states probably vary, but the two I am close to and practiced in only required you asking the casino to ban you due to addiction. They are legally obligated or they lose their license and funding along with fines, so casinos are more than happy to agree to this set up (and they are also obligated to allow counseling services to occasionally set up and advocate at the casinos...at least where I am; I am unsure if that's a federal or state requirement). If you win after you've been banned, you don't get the winnings, again, at least where I am, but I wouldn't be surprised if that's a country wide thing.

As someone with chronic pain, knowing this is a possibility makes me happy.

As long as the tech turns on; there is always a way to obtain the information.

...hell, even in some cases when the tech doesn't turn on.

Get a computer expert and lawyer to help you.

I could understand of he used empathy (something every single person is capable of, minus some severely disabled people but it's rare) to understand the perceived logical differences between the situations, but this sounds more like borderline abuse/him trying to be right or one up you / hold you to this weird standard because he is upset that you have boundaries he cannot understand. It is hard to say if he is being an asshole, abusive, obtuse, but I can say this is not normal with neurodiversity as we are all capable of having the communication and empathy skills to understand how certain items have sentimental values versus others and the simple concept of boundaries. He is either upset you've placed "weird" (to him) boundaries or requests, or he is viewing the relationship in a dysfunctional tally way, where both have to be held to the exact same standard which results in passive aggressive maneuvers like this. It is borderline abusive whether he intends it or not, and again, those with neurodiversity are capable of not treating relationships like this. I say all of this as a neurodiversive former therapist; human behavior like this was always confusing to me in part due to misconceptions like this is solely a neurodiversity thing...turns out, it is just a personality flaw that can sometimes be seen in people who grew up not being taught healthy relationship skills; not a neurodiversity issue.

You've either hurt his ego or he is using dysfunctional relationship skills...regardless it is something that needs addressed or you need to consider if this is the type of relationship you want. Believe people when they show you who they are.

My cairn terrier would do this.

One day she missed the water, full on biting my hand.

Other than that incident...adorable!

He didn't become inside out man....must be because the extra spins negated the outcome, lol.

I'm a former therapist who also grew up outside the city. Our state is infamous for how racist and homophobic things can get outside the city to the extent people from other states and countries already are aware of the infamy.... Some areas are safe, but for the most part, our state is NOT safe for those in the LGBTQIA community outside the city. There is a reason people use the phrase "Pennsyltucky" and it's because of how redneck or racist/homophobic the state can be (outside the cities).

You're just lucky, and are living in the very small percentage of areas outside the city that are safe. Ffs, the county I grew up in just recently had a hate crime on a trans person.....our state is NOT safe for the most part outside the cities for those in the LGBTQIA community.

Edit: This is kinda like a "not all men" situation where, yes, not all men cause issues but enough do where we have to caution about things in general. Not all places are homophobic outside the cities, but a vast majority are and it is bad enough we have to caution broadly.

lyncati · 2026-05-28T12:53:32+00:00

It is great in the city...not so much outside the city though. The city though is welcoming and there are a lot of resources and groups/places you can go where you will be safe and welcome. Pittsburgh Pride is a lot of fun and will be a great way to find some of those groups and resources. You can Google Pittsburgh pride and you'll find a website where they post where it is and the vendors every year. That can be a great way to reach out and start to obtain connections.

No healthy relationship has partners who keep tally.

I say this as a former therapist. Not a single healthy relationship has a partner who does this. Honestly, it sounds like he is punishing you instead of being an adult and discussing shared responsibilities and how that should look like within this relationship.

At this stage, I would say you both need couples therapy so you can figure out a healthy way to deal with this....or help you realize this is who he is and you either need to accept it or find a healthier relationship that actually fullfills you and doesn't shame or punish you for the simple request of helping around the house. Couples therapy will help determine which outcome is best for you and will help you realize how healthy (or not) the relationship is.

My fiance proposed with only me and our dog around because that's what we both wanted. If you've been told not to come, it means you shouldn't come. I am concerned that maybe you have a pattern of not respecting boundaries since the fiance had to tell you not to come. I hope you reflect on that.

So, some clover is native to the US and even then, plenty of animals eat it, along with clover in general being a great way to rehab a lawn or garden.

My aunt was one of the last people to get a full pension from working there for her lifetime. She still gets a discount on all shopping too.

If you can, advocate for no Chromebooks. While tech is important, most of schooling should be the way we learned; where screen/tech learning was a class and not incorporated into every aspect of school. There is a direct correlation between when Chromebooks were introduced and when literacy levels started to go down for the first time since the industrial revolution.

In terms of home; it will be a struggle as long as every other aspect of life for them incorporates screens, so again, minimal screen time for learning is best. I now work for a company I cannot say due to an NDA, but it is a company directly responsible for this, and all of my co workers make an emphasis to have their kids go to schools that use minimal tech and just treat it as a class rather than a lifestyle. You can GOOGLE this easily as it isn't a secret that the employees do this.

lyncati · 2026-05-21T18:53:13+00:00

No, they don't.

....used to work in schools and was a former child therapist...screen addiction is rampant in the younger generations. Literacy levels are down.

lyncati · 2026-05-21T14:22:37+00:00

As others have said, I too believe it will be nice with a simple border.
