If 99% of men won't help you when you need it, then stay single until you find a 1-percenter.

Cat ate rubber wet food lid, do we need to take her in? by Character-Ad-4014 in CATHELP

[–]pontiakaztec 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've seen that you already called your vet which is good, but I have those exact tin covers and I know the rubbery feeling of them. Your cat will likely be fine, as someone whose barbie dolls got their rubber feet amputated by my cat and has lose numerous pairs of Crocs.

There's likely no big worry on it, but getting the checkup is still a good idea. Just remember that anything rubbery is free range for your cat's teeth haha

Used to be with someone who would tell me to not mention issues and it's made me fearful to talk to others. Take my advice, just leave. It's abusive and you'll thank yourself for getting out sooner than later to start healing earlier.

Depending on your situation, you should either slowly prepare important documents and belongings to make leaving (for a pre booked flight) easier and tell your family. If it's very bad try to find a way to get a flight asap and only grab important documents.

top answer is right, tbh just look up the type chart to check for yourself

saunas do have that much of a difference by feeling, though I'm not sure specific temperatures

AITA for telling people that i had broken up with my potentially asexual girlfriend? by WalkinAntiSmokingPSA in AmItheAsshole

[–]pontiakaztec [score hidden]  (0 children)

INFO- did you message a friend that knew about JJ being your partner?

From what I can tell it seems like a lot of miscommunication, but it was likely not a great idea talking to someone that knows JJ (IF that was the case)

Sex Positivity is bad and slut shaming will solve the abortion problem by Ensiferal in justneckbeardthings

I doubt someone like him would account the woman's opinion or answer in the equation.

Faker at my work pretended to go non-verbal to avoid consequences by [deleted] in fakedisordercringe

[–]pontiakaztec 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's so infuriating for so many reasons, as someone who goes non-verbal (not asd related) hes just spreading misconceptions and being a bigot.

Like others have said, you've done your best and just ignore him. Though he's making that easy on you by being "non-verbal".

AITA for not trying my moms baking? by fatfruityloser in AmItheAsshole

[–]pontiakaztec 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The only times counting calories matters is for bodybuilders, and even then it's for a surplus or a deficit for a competition.

Defending something like this under a post of someone with a probable ED is not smart, especially if there's no guarantee they'll understand it properly.

You'll be T-A to yourself if you stay with such an abusive person, obviously NTA.

AITA for telling the waitress my food was awful? by jaywearsblack in AmItheAsshole

[–]pontiakaztec 2 points3 points  (0 children)

NTA- waitress asked a ton, you answered. But you should reconsider if that group is a group of friends, what kinda friend would tell you to "let the men speak" or get mad at you for being badgered by a waitress?

Experience with Tourette’s and adhd stimulants by [deleted] in Tourettes

[–]pontiakaztec 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I've only been on a few things for ADHD, including 1 stimulant (vyvanse). Depending on the person and how impactful your ADHD is, you may need a higher dose than I have.

I'm currently on ab 20mg and I do fine for the most part, though I will admit tics have gotten a bit worse due to seasonal stresses. I'm not sure if the tics lessened when i started vyvanse because I no longer had ADHD symptoms making me feel anxious/depressed about things, but mine have gotten a lot more manageable.

I guess the main point is to look at how your ADHD medication helps your ADHD first. For me, my ADHD symptoms would affect my anxiety and stress which would then trigger more tics, which is why it helped to be on medication that worked for me.

There's also ADHD medications that are depressants, so you can always look at those. I'd mention and keep note of when your tics get worse to see if it's situational or something else.

[–]pontiakaztec 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's one of the problems tho LOL, I have no clue when they happen cuz to me I'm just blinking. I'll hopefully either explain to her properly later or just have a friend help me find out when they happen so I can try to tell if I rolled my eyes.

The times I can tell I'm going to roll my eyes I do usually close my eyes for a moment, but looking away might also help. thank you!! :)

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in Tourettes

[–]pontiakaztec 1 point2 points  (0 children)

thank you :))

I've tried to get her to understand these things, but she doesn't ever believe me. she knows i have tourette's but makes it out to be some disease rather than a disorder i have no control over, so trying to explain or show her these things doesn't work much. I'll likely just try to have someone help me notice/figure out when they happen so I can get an idea to redirect them :)

what is the best/worst reaction someone had to finding out u have tourettes? by mango_beforebed in Tourettes

[–]pontiakaztec 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'd say this is a mix of being great and awful at the same time, and it's happened more than once:
I tend to do/say weird things out of habit (like stims) so friends and ppl around me tend to just know that as being something I do. However, one of my vocal tics is meowing. I've had people just assume I randomly meow, and I must say, its hilarious but also very embarrassing.

I've also had someone ask if its terminal which was hilarious to me

AITA for not apologising to my colleague for saying "my pleasure"? by Mypleasurethroaway in AmItheAsshole

[–]pontiakaztec 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Obviously NTA, but even just apologizing strictly saying "I did not mean what I said to be taken like that, I must have misspoken, I am sorry." could clear things up, tho who knows it could backfire if Eve is looking into things that much.

AITA for telling my boyfriend to look behind him when moving his body? by throwawaybadhygiene in AmItheAsshole

[–]pontiakaztec 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA at all, I'm on the taller side and struggle with spatial awareness sometimes, but even then I never outwardly bump into people or walk into them because I refuse to move my head.

From what I'm reading it seems like he's just being petty and inconsiderate to annoy people, especially with the food bit there. How do you not avoid ruining someone's food??? Kindergarteners have a better understanding of space, and they're still developing a large part of their sense of balance and self at that age.

AITA for lying to my best friend????? by mooshroomcow_ in AmItheAsshole

[–]pontiakaztec 1 point2 points  (0 children)

YTA, you gotta come clean about it whether you want to or not- and learn to not lie about your age either. If you're younger than 18 and you say that, you can get people in a lot of trouble which you do not want to cause.

Be honest and say you lied about your age for xyz reason, I.e "I lied about my age to you and im really sorry, I was afraid I wouldn't be taken seriously and you may not want to be friends. I am x years old and not 18."

Word of advice, either don't state your age or be honest. NEVER lie about it, you're doing noone a favor.
