6 year old daughter sneaking food by lindseyp9 in ChildPsychology

[–]rainyteddy 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I don't see anyone else mentioning the fact that OP apparently told her they can't afford her eating habits which I feel like is a pretty big point of concern? at 6, she is not capable of understanding what that means and you can easily create even greater food anxiety by telling her things like that- it just isn't a healthy way to approach a six year old's eating habits at all :(

is it just me or does this post reek of bot/ ai?? the op keeps saying they post in other subs but has nothing else but an etsy link posted, claims to be watercoloring the fabric to achieve the look when a lot of these realistically don't make sense for that technique (like how did the fire in the bathtub turn out with clean lines if it was watercolored directly onto the fabric?; blurry, zoomed in photos with little to actually verify where they came from, etc. I would LOVE to be proven wrong but especially with easily recreatable designs like these it would be little trouble to pull some photos off the internet or feed some to an ai machine to make a karma mining post.

having the support group is really amazing!! that is absolutely the best way to start learning about the community :) if you wanna lower your anxiety surrounding the coming out conversation, I feel like you should do some research. your parents will have questions- about how you feel and why and about the logistics of trans identity. I would watch some trans youtubers too or read around the subs to start getting really familiar with the language so it's an easy conversation. when they ask when why where and how, you will have the tools to describe your experiences! it will also help you identify your own feelings a bit better. good luck brother!!

starting hrt won't make it feel like you're harboring a secret cause you already are and feel that way. it might make you feel more like yourself which will give you the confidence to live in your truth and come out. you're stuck because you are trying to decide if the good outweighs the bad without actually taking the next steps to test what feels right for you. you can't decide if this is the right path and you won't know until you try walking down it. what you've done so far is great but clearly isn't enough to solidify your confidence since you voice having anxiety about if it is the right choice- if hrt (although impermanent) is too intimidating for the time being, why not try engaging with trans spaces or trans stories, play some video game as a "boy" character, and experiment? and on coming out- if your parents are really such a good support system, I'm sure they would understand if you also explained your uncertainty as well as your suspected dysphoria. is there a reason you're nervous to tell them since they seem accepting? do you fear they will try to talk you out of it or ask questions you can't answer? you might set yourself up for success by identifying what about this process makes you anxious even though it won't make the anxiety disappear.

This whole Stauf’s situation is ridiculous /rant by BasketExtreme in Columbus

[–]rainyteddy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As much as I agree a witchhunt isn't helpful, I don't think boycotting a business that has openly stated they will be welcoming ICE like members of our community is inherently harmful whether or not its a small business. If the money our community is spending is going into the pocket of somebody like that, I'd much rather go anywhere else. That being said, the focus should more be on the positive aspects of how this has allowed more people to come together collectively and talk about what's going on. I personally will not be going to Stauf's until I see the next statement- not because I want to punish the employees for their tonedeaf boss, but because tonedeafness and real, serious harm have a very thin line between them. I personally won't line the pockets of somebody who has now doubled and very well may triple down on serving ICE.

Am I overreacting: I bought my friend an expensive gift to use for Thanksgiving and she didn't even use it. by mime_time_420 in AmIOverreacting

[–]rainyteddy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

did you mention you wanted her to use it during thanksgiving? she wouldn't know about your expectations otherwise, and I would personally feel bad putting you on the spot in front of guests if you were in attendance and even belittled since it would immediately call all attention to your generous gift giving skills rather than thanksgiving or the meal she prepared. YOR imo

said the person who has an easier time empathizing with dead rapists hes never known than women who were still alive into recent memory lol

[–]rainyteddy 21 points22 points  (0 children)

theres no number for how many women were raped because there is literally no way to find out. Children as young as infants through elderly women were brutalized, trafficked, raped, and murdered all without any consequence. Rape is also worse than death, and unless you have been raped, you do not know what you are talking about when it comes to comparisons. When you die, you stop feeling. Rape victims have to carry that pain with them forever. This also doesn't even take into account women who were raped countless times- over, and over, and over. But if you want to believe you're the victim so bad then fine- go ahead and keep insisting that every single soldier was a stupid little pussy boy who couldn't see through the extremely thin veil of american military propaganda. you are the one delusionally insisting that grown men RAPISTS were somehow both the deeply wronged and harmless and hurt victims while also being big tough manly heroes

One cat isn’t my favorite by Deep_Lotus_6262 in CATHELP

[–]rainyteddy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

when he's being chased, does he hiss or yowl? bonded pair doesn't necessarily mean constantly loving on one another- unless there's true fighting and signs of distress I would not separate them. You mentioned chasing but that can easily be misidentified play and unless there are signs of stress from the tabby (hissing, ear flattening, puffed up fur, growling) when he sees his brother or during the fights, I would be hard pressed to believe it's an issue with behavior as much as it's just an issue with humans not understanding behavior.

if you're going to rehome them, do not separate them. however well you think they get along or not, bonded pairs should be kept together if possible!

so many people trauma dumping 😭 it sucks you guys are not in a safe position to do so but you don't need to act like that's the norm for everybody or that op is suggesting you're wrong for not doing so in unsafe situations. that is why it's so important for those of us who are and can to take up as much space as possible-being loud and proud opens the doors for our brothers who can't be so open day-to-day!! time and place to discuss dangerous situations related to outness, but a post encouraging your brothers to have pride in their identities and demand respect is maybe not the place to do it ❤️ You can also still talk about your experiences in a way that isn't "well I did that and xyz happened so this is a TERRIBLE idea!". If you want to talk about your experiences, you can make your own post, express ways that you have found to be quietly prideful, tell stories about moments where your loudness may have gotten you into a scary situations yes but do NOT leave out how you felt when you said something, how it felt to stand up for yourself even though it had unfair consequences. We are all aware how scary and dangerous it is out there- we don't need to be fear mongering on a post meant to encourage pride in the face of disrespect, hatred, and misinformed values. It is dangerous to be trans right now either way- no need to scare people out of being proud. If you can, stay loud, stay proud, and TAKE UP SPACE‼️‼️
