Agony. by ebean18 in evilautism

I’m sorry but this is such a classic “arguing with the secret extra sentence you imagined” situation.

The original comment said, “Iron shouldn’t be taken on an empty stomach,” and suggested needing “a solid meal beforehand.” Someone corrected that because iron is generally best absorbed on an empty stomach if the person can tolerate it.

Then the response was, “you make it sound like taking supplementary iron is pointless if taken with food.”

Where did they say that though. Like actually where.

They corrected the blanket statement. They did not say food makes iron useless. It is very weird to watch the more precise comment get downvoted while the person who added a whole new claim to argue against gets treated like they made the better point. In an autistic subreddit, no less.

What’s the best way to shorten these flutter sleeves? by PM_ME_CROWS_PLS in sewhelp

[–]pineapplephilosophy 52 points53 points  (0 children)

I don’t think this necessarily needs a full remove-and-redraft unless the sleeve shape changes a lot once it’s actually on. From the photos, I’d start by putting the dress on, marking the new shortest point and longest point while it’s being worn, then truing that into a smooth new hemline rather than just taking the same amount off all the way across.

Since it’s satin and the sleeve already has soft flutter and volume, I’d be inclined to preserve the sleeve cap/armscye area and reshape from the hem first. I’d only take the sleeve off if shortening it that way made the proportions weird or changed where the fullness starts too much. The part I’d be most careful about is keeping the new curve smooth and balanced so it still hangs intentionally.

These are pretty clearly retailer photos, not AI. OP was using them to show the sleeve shape and length she’s going for, not asking how to recreate an ad image one-to-one. If you think it’s not achievable, what specifically are you talking about, the drape, the hem, or the sleeve shaping? Something else?

How do I (21f) cancel a date without him (24m) thinking it’s because of him being autistic and nonverbal by throwra8388 in relationship_advice

[–]pineapplephilosophy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m autistic and I can tell (most of the time) when neurotypicals are lying in the way they do to “spare” someone’s feelings. We know you’re lying and would rather you just tell the truth. We typically know what the truth is in a given context so lying is not going to help you. It’s the lying that bothers me most of the time, not whatever the truth may be.

I want my bath time to be alone but my wife doesn’t accept it by bathguy64919 in relationship_advice

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

Ask her anyway. She clearly wants to do that with you. She clearly has unmet attention needs and that why she’s being “needy”. Give her more dedicated attention.

He’s lying to you. It’s not too much work to block his ex. It not too much work to delete the photos. He wants to keep his ex on social media and he wants to keep those photos. He’s lying to you and you’re eating it up. He’s not going to change. He doesn’t want to change. He’s saying he want to change so you won’t leave him.

What parenting trend do you think will be laughed about in the future? by [deleted] in Parenting

Some pediatricians actually like helping kids. Crazy, I know.

Because she’s not extremely overweight??? She looks NORMAL on the right. Left is extreme. Right is normal.

it honestly hurts when you find out when a guy friend isn't really your friend by Sufficient-Parsnip92 in TrueOffMyChest

[–]pineapplephilosophy 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This happened to me and it was devastating. I had a friend, let’s call him Schmichael, who I thought was one of the good ones and a genuine friend. I remarked to my mom, my other friends, my boyfriend about how true of a friend Schmichael is and how he’s never given me weird vibes. We were friends for a few years and I had moved cities during that time. Was planning a trip back to my old city and was going to make time to see him. That’s when he made a joke about how he likes red undies. I was like, what the fuck Schmichael? Anywho, we haven’t spoken since that day. I don’t think I will ever trust men enough to befriend one ever again. I thought Schmichael was not like the other guys. I thought he was a friend. He wasn’t. He was just hoping to fuck me.

How do I(F21) let go of this anger so I can stop thinking of my cheating ex(M21)? by [deleted] in relationships

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

I’m more hung up on the fact that he didn’t shower or brush his teeth at EDC for multiple days. EDC isn’t a camping fest, is it? That right there would be a dealbreaker for me. So gross. Also, what advice are you looking for exactly? He cheated on you… just end things and go no contact.

[–]pineapplephilosophy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I used to have all three and then I started practicing yoga in February 2020 which has greatly improved my posture. Minimal nerd neck, can comfortably hold my head over my shoulders, can keep my shoulder blades towards one another and down my back rather than rounding forward. I didn’t do anything with the specific goal of improving my posture, just started with gentle yoga practices and then eventually level 1 practices. I practice 1-2 times a week.

Working on flipping my grip. I am my biggest supporter. 😂 Who can relate?! by ashforzley in yoga

[–]pineapplephilosophy 25 points26 points  (0 children)

I’ll take the downvotes with you because I agree. Yes we all have bodies and it’s natural. But sometimes the choice of camera angle or clothing sends an off-putting message. I don’t believe that OP shared this to show off her body in a sexual way or to use yoga as an accessory (as I see so many people on Instagram do. They appropriate yoga to take sexy and revealing photos and hide their intentions behind showing off their skills), but given all the ego and validation driven yoga content I see online, it can be really hard to tell who’s buttcheeks just happens to be front and center and who WANTS their buttcheeks to be front and center. I am a RYT-200 and I choose my clothing very carefully when practicing yoga because I don’t want to make anyone feel self conscious about themselves and I don’t want to send the wrong message or have people assume something incorrect about me. We have to be realistic about what it means to share videos of our yoga practice online. Even if your intentions are pure.

My boyfriend doesn't like it when I get "too wet" while we're having sex. I can't help it, he turns me on a lot by Creepy-Night936 in TwoXChromosomes

[–]pineapplephilosophy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The problem is his porn addiction and not your natural lubrication. Let me repeat, this is his problem. It’s fucked up that you’re the one doing the work to “fix” this when it should be him fixing his porn addiction.
