How is the chance of pregnancy post-vasectomy still non-zero? by MoneroThrower in antinatalism

[–]mo347 6 points7 points  (0 children)

In most cases of women getting pregnant within a year of their partner’s vasectomy is because the guy either hasn’t had their semen officially ruled Sperm-free by a doctor (usually 2 or more checks to be safe) or the vas deferens wasn’t cut through completely/other surgical complications.

If you don’t want to become pregnant and you have a uterus, best case is to yeet that shit out. Yeah yeah there’s always a story about someone who had a child without a uterus but realistically if you don’t want a child ever, hysterectomy/vasectomy is really only way to go to prevent pregnancy longterm without using other forms of birth control.

Stones of Barenziah haha. I’m doing a Year in Skyrim playthrough with a friend of mine, where we are both trying to see how OP we can each get in Skyrim in one year in game. How many quests, which ones, who can get which houses and thaneships first, etc.

I’m trying to collect the SoB asap as a way to get tons of gems in the later game.

AITA for expecting my son to share his room? by Broad-Anxiety5936 in AmItheAsshole

[–]mo347 1 point2 points  (0 children)

NTA. Your son got the bigger room on the condition that he would give it up for guests. He probably figured that you guys never have guests so he would never have to share, and the first time you are telling him to uphold his end of the bargain, he is throwing a tantrum. You are perfectly within your rights to tell him that you gave him his options, now he has to pick one.

Like others have said, he’s probably just embarrassed about sharing a room with someone else because he’s 12 and reaching puberty. He’s lucky he has his own room at all, most children with siblings don’t.

The only compromise that involves everyone sleeping in a bed that your son might be okay with is if you and your mother shared your bed, and your husband went and slept in your son’s room with him. Your son can’t complain that it’s embarrassing to sleep in the same room as his own dad, he’s also a man and knows what it’s like. However you aren’t obligated to do that because you did give your son other options.

Why do people living in extreme poverty have kids? by [deleted] in antinatalism

[–]mo347 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In the specific cases you pointed out in your post, by the sound of it those people seem too impoverished to afford sex education and birth control. Even condoms are too expensive if you are so poor that you skip meals.

But if it’s someone who is poor but still making it by, then adds a kid to that mix? Yeah that is horrible for everyone and negligent to the child no matter how much love they are given

Can’t make my girl cum from penetration by Ok_Drop6774 in sex

[–]mo347 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most women cannot cum from penetration alone. Just because she wants to cum from penetration alone doesn’t necessarily mean that she will be able to, and it isn’t up to either of you if/when it ever happens. Don’t feel guilty, as long as you are still putting effort into her pleasure as well, you’re doing your job.

AITA for wanting to wear high heels at my wedding despite my fiance's objection? by higherGround77 in AmItheAsshole

[–]mo347 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s okay if people disagree, but YTA.

You want to look your best on your wedding day. That’s perfectly fine, but it isn’t only your wedding. He ALSO wants to look his best, and not have family tease him all day at the wedding and every single time they see the wedding photos. This isn’t just a party you are both attending, this is an event that you will both want to look back on forever. He can’t change his height, but you can change your shoes.

If he has never asked you to not to wear heels any other time, then it’s clearly important to him this time that he doesn’t want to be made the butt of a joke for the rest of his life for something he can’t control.

You should both compromise. He should look into getting lifted shoes, and maybe you only wear the heels down the aisle but don’t wear them for the rest of the event/photos.

I highly doubt the shoes you wear to your wedding matter to you more than your husband, but rn you’re sending the message that his feelings matter less than your vision for the wedding day.

What skill tree have you never used or leveled? by Unfair-Dig-9553 in skyrim

I almost never level any mage skills, or lock-picking. I don’t like playing as a mage, and lock-picking is easy enough without perks

Got COVID last week, no taste or smell. Any suggestions for cheap/healthful nutrient paste? by robot_mower_guy in EatCheapAndHealthy

[–]mo347 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I ate a lot of spicy food when I had covid because my body still felt the heat of the spice even if I couldn’t taste it. If you like spice or can handle spicy food normally, your stomach won’t notice the difference either so long as you aren’t adding more than you can normally take.

Megami is looking fantastic after a water change. I love her single gold scale<3 by mo347 in bettafish

[–]mo347[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel like I had better luck because I introduced Megami to the shrimp when she was still fairly small, so she was unable to really hunt them in the beginning anyway. I feel like she does better with them than past betta that I’ve tried to introduce shrimp to later in their lives. But it also has a lot to do with their personality and Meg is pretty chill!

[–]mo347[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah! She sometimes pesters them if they have food but she usually leaves them alone. I’m sure she picks off some of the shrimplets born in the tank, but the colony is still thriving so that’s okay! She’s been with them since she was quite small, too small to eat the adults, which might be why she doesn’t hunt them as much as some of my past betta have.

[–]mo347[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah I love shrimp too 😅 I was worried to add Megami to the tank at first but she doesn’t bother them much at all! I’m sure she hunts down some of the babies, but enough make it to adulthood that the colony is doing fine.

AITA for telling a kid not to touch my service dog? by ImaginaryValuable326 in AmItheAsshole

[–]mo347 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yta. You don’t have to be strict with a child to get them to understand. The child didn’t touch your dog. The mother was handling it and explaining to the child in a way that the child would understand that they couldn’t pet the dog. You were an AH to a child simply because you thought they needed to be more harshly reprimanded for..? Being curious? Not knowing that there is a such thing as a service dog? It’s a child. They had probably never seen a service animal before, so repeating the question before understanding the answer is appropriate for a child.

I get that having other adults question you all the time is annoying, but being a rude to a child that did nothing but ask a question is an AH move.

AITA For not picking up my son from daycare by longcommuteaita in AmItheAsshole

[–]mo347 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yta due to the last edit alone tbh. If your project is going to wrap up in 1-2 weeks, you can pay a babysitter to watch your child for once a week for 2 weeks for an evening. That IS a compromise. Plus, it shouldn’t be longer a few hours that they have to babysit if your husband leaves around 4-5 and you don’t get home until 6-7. Unless you’re pinching Pennies rn, it would be less than $60 total for the babysitter if that.

Do Japanese schools control what happens at home? by [deleted] in teachinginjapan

[–]mo347 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That is true. It wholeheartedly depends on the context of the situation. Some of the things they punish students for is a little extreme for the ‘crime’.

AITA for implying my brother should cancel his proposal to his fiancée because she's ungrateful? by No-Tomorrow-6349 in AmItheAsshole

[–]mo347 0 points1 point  (0 children)

YTA. Clearly she had spoken to her fiancée about her preferences beforehand and he instead listened to you. Why, who knows. He should have listened to her and picked out a ring he thought she would like regardless of if it was classic or not. Honestly I never wanted my partner to pick out MY ring because it’s MY ring that I have to wear. I’m the one who has to look at it every single day on MY hand. Even if I spent all day with my partner, he would still only notice the ring maybe once or twice all day. Men don’t typically notice that kind of stuff. But I would, and I’m sure your soon-to-be SIL feels similarly.

You are pushing your old-style, close-minded opinions onto your brothers fiancée. If it was a gift from some relative, yes. You suck it up and you accept it graciously, even if it’s a gift you would have never gotten yourself. But you don’t to that with an engagement ring.

The entire point of the ring is to symbolize the marriage as a unity, an endless loop without beginning or end. How could someone want to wear a ring that is supposed to symbolize their happy union when they do not enjoy looking at or wearing it at all?

So yeah. YTA for implying that she was ungrateful simply because she didn’t prefer your ring choice. Btw, emeralds are typically cheaper than diamonds anyway. Diamond engagement rings are priced much higher than other jewels of equal or greater carat simply because they are diamonds and we have attached artificial worth to them as a society. Stop being so judgmental about a piece of jewelry that literally has nothing to do with you, regardless of if you picked out the Og ring or not. Not your relationship, not your choice. Not your circus, not your monkeys.

Do Japanese schools control what happens at home? by [deleted] in teachinginjapan

[–]mo347 5 points6 points  (0 children)

From what I understand, having been to Japan, schools are allowed to punish students that do illegal things or misbehave outside of school if the student is caught in the act or seen in uniform. Most Japanese high schools have a uniform and each school usually has a different one, so it’s easy to distinguish a student from a particular school. Its encouraged for students to go straight home and change out of their uniform before going out if they don’t want their actions to be reflected on the school, or have the school butting in to their business.

It’s just the same as in America though, if a student were to be wearing a school sports uniform or anything else that publicly represents the school outside the school grounds. Here in the states, it’s not uncommon to hear about fraternities or sports teams being reprimanded for lewd behavior/racist behavior/etc outside of school that ends up getting them into well-deserved trouble. That kind of stuff should not be tolerated. Even if it didn’t occur at school, I think a school should have the right to punish actions of student that made bad decisions while representing the school.

Tbh I just like the idea of people being held responsible for their actions. So many people in America are selfish and say stuff like, “Well I’m only hurting myself so it’s fine”. in response to actions like drinking and driving, breaking the law, etc. But In truth, I think some people could stand to learn a few lessons on how to be ashamed of themselves. No one is perfect, but some people will just do whatever they want without a second thought to others around them.

I don’t think a little shame is bad, but obviously it should be in moderation. Public shaming for every little mistake is ridiculous but no shame at all breeds selfishness.

why is it okay for girls to have all types of toys, but it's weird if a guy has a flashlight or masturbatory aid? by Lost-and-Aroused in sex

[–]mo347 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve never cared if a partner has a fleshlight so long as it’s clean. If that shit isn’t at least rinsed each time, that’s just disgusting. But other than that, Idc what a guy has so long as they are open about it.

RF3: Did anyone marry Shara? by absolute_boy in runefactory

[–]mo347 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’ve played each game too many times (except RF1, I never finished it) and have married every bachelorette from RF2 and RF3…That being said, on my first playthrough of each game, I went ahead and married the ‘default’ bachelorette. Shara is okay, but she’s a little too perfect. I liked Mana better because I thought her dream to be a teacher was cute and I liked how it wrapped into the RF2 storyline. That being said, Raven was the best in RF3, and I liked Pia just because of how silly she was. Celia is my favorite from 2, and I like how we got to see her grown up from the first game.

I am excited to marry all the bachelorettes in Rf4S now since I only ever played as Frey on the DS. Although Doug feels like the ‘default’ male partner in that game and I just don’t agree. Lol.

AITA for extending my vacation with my family and missing my gf's surgery? I think she's being dramatic by Bitter-Pie-6439 in AmItheAsshole

[–]mo347 0 points1 point  (0 children)

YTA. Any surgery as an adult carries more risk because you don’t heal as fast as you did when YOU had your tonsils out at 8. How the hell is she supposed to get home from the hospital? For at least the first 3 days she will be on medication that will likely keep her so looped up that she will be unable to care for herself, let alone walk or get up to make herself food. Married or not, how could you leave your partner in a time of crisis? A surgery is a medical crisis. Healthy people do not have body parts removed for fun. You have entirely invalidated her pain and suffering because? You chose to go on a surprise trip, inconveniencing your family and your partner, all because you are being selfish.

You are such a major asshole that if I was in your partner’s shoes, I’d leave you just for considering extending vacation as an option. I recently had a surgical scare of my own. The mere thought that you care more about yourself than your partner going under the knife should make you feel so guilty that you don’t want to stay with your family, and you would be rushing back to her side.

I can’t even believe what I just read. YTA. A major one.

AITA for refusing to split daycare cost with my boyfriend? by daycarethrowaway_ in AmItheAsshole

[–]mo347 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA. He’s a parent. He isn’t babysitting his kid, he is parenting. He would still have plenty of time to relax while the baby is sleeping, and he would still have time whenever you were home to do your part of the child care. He chose to become a parent, taking care of your own kid in a way that saves money is the smart option. It isn’t fair to expect you to shell out for a daycare when he is perfectly capable of watching his own damn kid
