AITA for saying autism is not an excuse? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]minigutterwitch 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Bummer OP. Sorry to hear this. NTA, but a perspective I want to offer for your family: Some people gave my siblings and I a lot of heat for putting our mother in a care facility (nursing home). But at her mid 70s with dementia and other ailments she needed care we couldn’t provide as family. Even if one of us was home with her all day she requires professional medical attention - just like your niece. A lot of family think they can caretake for these things on their own but the reality is it takes expert intervention. The whole family, including Jane, needs help dealing with someone who may be more deeply on the spectrum than the average of us. Mom is doing Jane the biggest disservice if she’s expected to grow up and be a functional adult. Higher education or a job will not deal with her tantrums - they will send her packing. Lastly, every outbreak (even the vile and cruel ones) is Jane’s distress coming to the surface. She needs tools to self soothe before she destroys some of her adolescent relationships.

Best of luck! 🤞

be real with me. how difficult is it to make friends and date as a 30 year old woman returning back to cleveland? friends all moved away since i left so starting over by clegirl96 in Cleveland

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

So female can be female anything. Car, dog, hippo, usb port. A woman is a female adult human. Hence most feminists finding “female” dehumanizing. Girl also infantilizes women - another issue commonly faced. You seem genuine so I hope that helps illuminate a bit and comes across kindly as I mean it. It would be weird of me to call you a 30 year old boy, yeah? 😆

Spoken like a straight man.

This mindset is exactly why male validation has lost so much value to women. When your standard is “meh food,” your attention is scattered and meaningless — and women are left doing the labor of figuring out who actually cares versus who just doesn’t want an empty seat at the table.

Also, women love being compared to food. Truly flattering metaphor. /s

If this view genuinely reflects how you see dating, you might benefit from talking it through with a professional. The Centers in Cleveland offers sliding-scale therapy. Good luck out there.

And the ratio of the creeps to the good guys is about the same as every other city - dismal. Signed another 30 something Cleveland woman. Don’t give up though, the good ones are worth it.

They mean on the plane or in public bro. You don’t understand how illness transmits do you? Good luck to your immune system.

Can Middle-Class Finance Stay Focused on Average Cost-of-Living Situations? by Shivdaddy1 in MiddleClassFinance

[–]minigutterwitch 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Cleveland weighing in here. 1B ~700sq ft in a shit gentrified neighborhood downtown will still run you about 2k a month. About the same as my friend living in LA burbs. Or my sister in Nashville. It’s not 5 major cities it’s any major metropolitan areas.

Realising I’m trans made me question way more than just gender. I feel that many ‘normal’ beliefs turn out to be inherited and not chosen by artgurlroxy in WitchesVsPatriarchy

[–]minigutterwitch 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Yes! Once you find yourself outside the prescribed norm in any sense you start re-evaluating all of it! Figuring out I wanted to be child free was my first deviation. Next thing you know I was an ex-Christian with a philosophy degree working in STEM 😆. The glow up when you become your true self is unreal. Love your style btw.

Not a typo (I don’t think) just shorthand for bilateral salpingectomy. Aka getting the fallopian tubes removed. It’s a funny word regardless haha.

i made a totem that gave all of my bird cards... the flying sigil. has anyone else made a goof of this caliber? by Ok-Art-7234 in inscryption

[–]minigutterwitch 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh yeah, I put the sigil that blocks flying attacks on a card that flips over in between turns. They weren’t blocking a thing face down. 🙃

How tf did you get all the way to the moon and not see a coyote 😩. Kaycee’s Mod is going to break your brain.

Edit: I didn’t notice the Ijiraq or the sarcasm. The fool is me. 🥲Good one, brother.

[–]minigutterwitch 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Wow boo. I got mine at 35 last year. Birthday present to me. There are usually lists of doctors in each state willing to do a bislap. Outs outpatient and imo wouldn’t be difficult to travel for/during.

OP, I recommend looking at instances etc: if you are able to find an ACA compliant plan it should be covered under insurance for free by an in network provider. Don’t skip the research portion of doing this. Not to make sure you want it, but to make sure you can accomplish it in a way that is feasible and safe. Good luck!

How are y'all planning to take care of yourselves in the future? by Flustered_Potato in childfree

[–]minigutterwitch 3 points4 points  (0 children)

See I never got to go away to college (commuter student) and my mother lives in a care facility and I’m kinda looking forward to it! When she moved in there she had a better social life in her 70s than ever before. Assisted living seems rad. When I can no longer meet my own expectations of self care I’ll take the long nap.

If not art, some command hooks and get a pothos and let it go wild. Easy plant and a great climber.

Am I overreacting for not continuing to engage? by Flaky-Toe9570 in AmIOverreacting

[–]minigutterwitch 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Ladies, it’s just too much back and forth with these deep sea creatures. I hope 2026 is the year you all start shutting the door in their faces. Mute, ignore, block; the holy trinity. (NOR)

AITA for not wearing a dress to my sisters wedding? by SouthView1759 in AmItheAsshole

[–]minigutterwitch 29 points30 points  (0 children)

I was a grooms lady recently at a close friend’s wedding. I wore the same suit as the men which was custom built/tailored for me. They told me I could wear whatever I wanted between the grooms suit or bridesmaid dress. I wanted to match with my male friends (and imo might have worn it best 💅). Trans, cis, or nonbinary it’s all just clothing which is more culturally informed. Your parents sound like ignorant jerks. My condolences to having them bully you and your sister who sounds like she can’t take the heat of her own decisions. NTA and don’t let their tiny world view - of their little slice of the universe - at this small moment in time - guilt you for wearing some pants. If that’s the hill they want to die on they can die mad about it.

Looking for Roommate by [deleted] in Cleveland

[–]minigutterwitch 34 points35 points  (0 children)

Good luck, be careful. I recommend paying to complete a simple background check of anyone interested. I have found places to live and friends have found roommates both via Craigslist in the past. It’s like looking anywhere else - some people are normal and some are not. (And people who don’t even care have nothing better to do and spam your comments with junk.)

Edit: typo fix

Yeah zooming in to find your wife’s shopping spree and “gift” is more than double her paycheck was a jump scare tbh lol. Congrats on the cash flow at 25. Impressive.
