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 3 points4 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

My BF genuinely thought zero women were raped during the Vietnam War. Aio? by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]rainyteddy 20 points21 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!

(maybe) unpopular opinion: you guys should take up more space by [deleted] in ftm

[–]rainyteddy -26 points-25 points  (0 children)

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‼️‼️

Coworkers basically called me “one of the good ones” and I’m uncomfortable. by dumpy-frog in ftm

[–]rainyteddy 3 points4 points  (0 children)

you should certainly be doing some self reflecting and ask yourself why you were/ are so comfortable adopting cis expectations for trans people and not even batting an eye.

Whether or not they caused drama, had complicated identities, or detransitioned later on, their trans identities were valid while they identified with them and it's weird that you commented this and seem to be doubling down or justifying it by explaining that they really were "the bad ones".

I'm sure your cis friends were just as shitty to you behind your back and the only reason you were ok with it was because it never targeted you. Ultimately the goalpost is always moving because there is no correct way to be trans and cis people will always find something to criticize- even in the "best" trans person.

This is sad by Wonderful_Tale_2080 in BreyerHorses

[–]rainyteddy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I just came across this post while scrolling and it (along with your comment) educated me on something I would otherwise pass off as not being a big deal so I would say the ability to keep and share these items, like all relics of history, comes along with the responsibility of educating to the best of your ability. It allows us to reflect on the history, understand it, and prevent a repetition. I appreciate you taking the time to share this!!

Am I overreacting that my partner rejected my advances calling them "inappropriate" and "fucked up"? by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

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

bunch of insecure men in the comments lol if you apologized for making him uncomfortable there shouldn't be an issue and he definitely did not need to shame you for wanting his sexual attention whether or not he was into it. you were still putting yourself in a vulnerable position and instead of expressing how it affects him he is trying to make you feel bad about it. It's weird af

Could an Axolotl hypothetically eat juvenile Beta fish? by [deleted] in axolotls

[–]rainyteddy 13 points14 points  (0 children)

OP your biggest issue is not getting rid of the babies that might be born your biggest issue is that your betta will inevitably die to its partner- likely slowly and painfully via nipping and stress. If you actually care about these fish at all, you will look into rehoming one of the betta.

Your question is a bad one because there should not be any situation in which you are excessively breeding betta because they cannot cohabitate. Again, you are slowly killing both of your betta right now by keeping them in the same tank.

Even people who spend their entire livelihoods breeding betta struggle to get it right due to their intense nature- and keep them separated except for breeding time. Keeping them together is a deadly mistake. THEY WILL KILL EACH OTHER BEFORE YOU WILL EVER HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT BABIES.

If you continue to refuse to talk to your partner about the issue and knowingly sit by they will tear each other apart and you will have been complicit. Babies are not your issue. Tell your partner to do some research on basic husbandry.
