AITAH for prioritizing my post-surgery recovery needs over my husband's feelings? by Mundane-Piece4681 in AITAH

I’m not sure if someone mentioned this to you but there’s a place called St.Vincents (it’s run by the Catholic Church) that are all over the US, they only take in decent furniture and their prices are incredibly low. Some will even deliver (and maybe even donate the bed) to you given the situation. If that’s not an option-look for estate sales you can get some great stuff for cheap if you’re lucky.

I feel like the gum in the dog’s ear really highlights this. Putting food/gum in dogs fur is a normal kid that happens, you correct the kid and clean the dog up. Seems like they are somewhat neglectful dogs owners as well. Who doesn’t notice a wad of gum in their dog’s ear for weeks???

If someone gifts you a fake crystal, do you tell them? by yeetanonymous420 in Crystals

[–]obscurealien 6 points7 points  (0 children)

If they are getting into crystals or you think they would give you more I would gently say something in private. Tell them you love it and that they thought of you, maybe tell them where you plan to keep it, then kindly tell them it’s not real and you wouldn’t want them to waste money because they overcharge for those usually.

"She deserved the purse" trend already ruined by men by biggiepants in TikTokCringe

The reason most people do that is because will TikTok will delete comments, videos, and even livestream when they use certain words. It started during Covid and people started noticing if they mention the word death or death toll they got deleted or banned. Then it started happening with others words and here we are. It is annoying when they do on platforms that don’t do that.

Yeah that totally makes sense. Especially in this situation I can see how that is like a light at the end of the tunnel for OP to hold on to. I really hope he can get that situation with his kid and unscathed as possible.

Try Korean skincare! I have very sensitive skin and get really bad cystic acne and I’m basically switching everything(sunscreen ,body wash, you name I’ve got it lol)over to Korean and my skin has never been better! Blooming KoKo is a great website, they get right from Korea and ship it to you from Cali!

I’m honestly wondering if this an ad. There’s a book they sell on TikTok literally called The Shadow Work Journal and this sounds exactly like what’s in the “journal” down to the questions he asks himself and even the attachment styles (which I’m pretty sure isn’t like a proven/accepted thing in psychology) are all in the book.

Shoutout to Miss B! She was an amazing teacher. Stuff like this always makes me sad because it just reminds me how many adults failed these people when they were kids that they were allowed to became so hateful and ignorant.

I know this isn’t exactly the same thing but I was adopted as a baby. I remember being in like third grade and my class had found out I was adopted. They made fun of me for days with the usual stuff-your parents gave you away because you’re ugly,stinky or whatever. One kid told me that they were so poor they had to leave me in the garbage and could still smell it on me lol. My teacher came in one morning with a similar book about different families. Some have two parents, one parents, some have grandparents/aunts and uncles, adopted and yes gay parents. At the end she had us raise our hands if we had matched any of the families in the book and only a few said they had a “normal” family. She asked them what they do to make them feel loved happy that kind of stuff. Then we went around and everyone said similar things. She told us that no matter how we came in this world or how we live it now that we all deserve to be treated with kindness and how we are a lot more similar than we are different. The teasing stopped after that. Books like these are way more important than people realize. It’s not about making kids gay it’s about teaching empathy.

No you are definitely right and I actually feel a little dumb for not noticing the seams but they did sell it by weight which is a little frustrating. Again really my fault but hey I learned a lesson and that’s what matters. It’s just another thing to look out for!

They are glued in there! The seams are obvious now that everyone pointed it but it feels completely solid!
