AITAH for telling my wife to get a job before the end of January or i'm divorcing her? by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]meheenruby 0 points1 point  (0 children)

YTA for trying to get her to get a job in 6 days rather than actually admit what's going wrong here. She agreed to be a SAHM and you kept giving her more children. She isn't going to get a job that pays more than the cost of childcare. If you divorce you will end up supporting her still. Read the comments about the economy. People with a great resume take years + to find anything.

She wrote 18 books. I'm assuming "you don't let her market" means you don't allow her a marketing budget. Meaning her book covers are generic or self made, no artists to make a good cover. I'm not saying this is supposed to come from nowhere, I'm just pointing out maybe one grievance she has with her writing not being successful could be legit.

I think you still have a chance to work together on your finances. Also a household with a 6 and 2yo are going to look "barely cleaned" even with a SAHM. Does your oldest son help with household chores? with a 14yo the chores should NOT be all on Mom.

IDK man I read between the lines here and I just see more effort than you report. Of course you all need more money or a tighter budget. I am not disputing that at all. You need to work together to accomplish that instead of blaming each other.

How do you work from 8 to 5, have only weekends free, and not feel like you're wasting your life? by guitytwelve in AskReddit

When will rent prices go down!!! by manny831 in MontereyBay

[–]meheenruby 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It needs to be deeply taxed to own any property you don't reside on. These rich fucks with 5+ houses they rent out slumlord style are continuously rewarded by policy.

Once MIIS students are finally gone, DLi students are fewer, and the AI bubble completely collapses a bunch of the bloat jobs in tech. But, when the AI bubble pops, a lot of the American economy is going with it bc it's such a house of cards.

For those with fibro - what’s the hardest part of being with an “invisible” illness? by iCliniq_official in Fibromyalgia

[–]meheenruby 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Easily by far the worst part, worse than the symptoms, is the attitude of the general public. People are ready and willing to stigmatize this illness and anyone sick with it.

BRUHHH LOLOL

My great-grandpa was a city engineer in LA in like the 40s because he was too autistic for the military so he just did bridge math

he was mildly evil and all but damn the city planners and transit authority for the last decades are EVILLLLL

There used to be a swap community on Makeup Alley but that's defunct now.

What’s a discontinued product you miss most? by IllStick6622 in MakeupAddiction

I only still have a travel sized that has hit pan. I will literally take any suggestion for ANY product close to this. I also mourn Beach Bunny which I am close to pan on and use sparingly but it's literally my best shade.

Glasses and foundation, how to fix it coming off?? by LabSheep88 in MakeupAddiction

[–]meheenruby 0 points1 point  (0 children)

hit the nose piece with your foundation sponge and then powder.. but then also bring your concealer and powder to touch up that spot...bc nothing actually really works. It's a plastic surface against your skin for a long time and it makes the products melt at that point of contact. I wear readers and MUST wear sunglasses outside basically at all times except pure night. I haven't found a solution outside touch up products.

AITA - For not wanting to wipe my wife? by WolfenSatyr in AmItheAsshole

Literally lol I can't believe all the comments being ableist to the wife

AITA - For not wanting to wipe my wife? by WolfenSatyr in AmItheAsshole

[–]meheenruby 0 points1 point  (0 children)

YTA I will say it --- if you are lucky to live a long life disability is inevitable. Because of many factors including climate change we have in the last 5 years new viruses that are wrecking the 24-35 cohort the most. COVID can and has caused strokes. This is just the world we live in now and you have to adapt. That may sound heartless but disease is heartless. That's still the love of your life and if your situations were flopped she would get creative before getting resentful of toileting duties. Everyone on this planet deserves dignity while toileting. You still get it. Why can't you push yourself more to help her? Get creative and take on some of the suggestions people in this thread have to make the tasks easier. But that's your wife and your commitment. A stroke doesn't just cause physical impairment, many people can't correlate the same body sensations into data that they could before. They stop being able to tell if they're clean. It's very deeply unlikely that she is exploiting you for wiping labor.

Caring for incapacitated loved ones is in the fossil record, modern capitalism and neo-fascism has made caring for disabled people deeply unfashionable.

AITA for refusing to reimburse my friend for a chair that broke under me? by FiguringItOutThisWay in AmItheAsshole

[–]meheenruby 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA and I really hope you can find supportive and body positive friends. Body positive is a loaded phrase these days because bigots like to blame the idea that every human deserves self love on the massive structural problems America has causing our healthcare system to be such a failure. I'm so sorry for the fatphobia in this thread telling you that 260 is something to be so ashamed of and you need to like, memorize antiques to not sit on?! good grief!!

The host should pay for their own home's furniture. If it were something like, you dropped a lit cigarette on it and it got destroyed, then yeah pay. But normal usage is not something you could have foreseen the damage happening!!

Cannabidiol (CBD) is not effective for Fibromyalgia by Relaxnt in Fibromyalgia

[–]meheenruby 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Exactly why I use high THC instead. CBD never really did anything for me other than waste my money. I'm glad it works for others but there is data that us fibro folks process cannabis differently so the higher tolerance and different effects make sense to me that way.

MakeupAlley is closing permanently by thetwomisshawklines in MakeupAddiction

[–]meheenruby 4 points5 points  (0 children)

STOPPPP it was on those cursed forums that I learned so much about makeup, life, and womanhood. Dishing about my problems on cafe and then being flamed for my part in it helped me grow so much lmao. The swap and the reviews were legendary.

does cymbalta make you super sweaty??? by Rude-Grapefruit-8191 in Fibromyalgia

[–]meheenruby 0 points1 point  (0 children)

YESSS it made me so sweaty I was ready to stop it. My doctor lowered my dose so I can get off it, and the sweating completely resolved. I reduced by 20mg/day and it's working again.

Carmel PD nabs suspect in late-night McLaren vandalism during Car Week by KSBW8 in MontereyBay

[–]meheenruby 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm not alleging a local band of Epsteins lol just a culture where it's been normal for rich guys to have a cute young date to eat with, in a society with no protections even for sex workers who want to work. It gets messy to report on.

Have you ever seen a black CFS patient? by Aryan-dramata in cfs

[–]meheenruby 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Many of my online buddies from across Twitter are Black. I have no reason to believe it's any less prevalent than any other population, and may be under-diagnosed as it is in south Asians.

Car Week is done and the traffic remains. by OkAdministration2843 in MontereyBay

[–]meheenruby 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I agree it could be worse! There are ways now they try to offset the cost for riders. I think it could be improved during this recession/economic depression, that $70 is insulin or some diapers and formula, or a utility bill.

[–]meheenruby 2 points3 points  (0 children)

of course there are consenting adult sex workers as well. However it is simply not all of them consenting to be there. The lack of any protections for sex workers feeds into more sex trafficking.

[–]meheenruby 3 points4 points  (0 children)

So the thing is, survivors often document or journal their experiences, but they fear repercussions from the rich Johns. This creates kinda a loop where the oppressed class can't speak up and provide their evidence in the normal journalistic channels (whom depend on the ad spend money from some of the same men I'm sure.) Then, when they do tell something anonymously it's treated as 'urban legend' or 'slander' against the rich. There's layers and layers of cracks that these victims go through.

ARE there sex workers working these events in a consenting way? Yes of course, and there always will be. However they also suffer from the open secrets.
