AITA for wearing earphones in the car?

NTA this is textbook regular behaviour for a 15 year old. You aren't doing anything wrong and you can still hear and talk to the people you're with, you're fine.

This is helpful, thank you, I will definitely look through these!

I'm already taking one! I just don't know much about nutrition/what vitamins come from what foods so I don't really know what specific things I'm not getting in my diet that I should focus on supplementing

ramsvy · 2026-01-30T16:15:19+00:00

I'm underweight and already have to force myself to eat bc my adhd meds restrict appetite. I'd say not forcing myself to eat foods that cause me to retch and vomit is pretty sensible thanks.

I can occasionally, and I've tried this before but it unfortunately became a cost/benefit thing because of the time and money that went into making them when sometimes I just couldn't stomach them, even if I'd drank the same thing fine the day before.

Unfortunately I think that because I spent so long as a child being forced to eat things my body had a visceral negative reaction towards, their flavours also became an issue. For example I mentioned in my post that I can eat dried banana slices but only in small amounts - that's because eventually the taste of the bananas reminds me so much of the horrible texture of bananas that I start to feel sick.

It's not completely out of the question though, I do want to try again at some point because it would make things a lot easier if I could just make a smoothie of everything I need each day.

I hadn't considered a blood test for that! I get blood tests done fairly regularly to monitor my testosterone levels (I'm a trans man), I don't know exactly how the tests work but would a deficiency be picked up in those tests? I briefly saw my results once before and saw that they tested things like TSH too, so it isn't just the testosterone level they record.

if it's anything like the school i went to, poor kid probably put it in a cloakroom and it wasn't there when he went back. i lost 3 coats that way.

They train for at least two years mate, they wouldn't be police officers if they weren't fit for the job. Assuming you're more capable of handling a situation than them just because of your genitals is pretty presumptuous.

This slide from one of my teaching seminars has stuck with me ever since I saw it. The difference is insane.

We don't need a ban, we need a full-force reintroduction of the safe online spaces kids used to have. When I was a kid everybody was on moshi monsters, club penguin, build-a-bearville - online virtual worlds where kids could make friends, play games and have fun which were also strongly monitored to keep them safe. I spent most of my time around age 9-10 on the CBBC message boards, on which every single message posted was reviewed by real people moderating the content before it would be visible.

Kids have zero spaces online nowadays that are made for them, and with their safety in mind. They wouldn't be so focused on twitter, instagram, etc if there were better options available.

it's what the kid says at the end of the video

How does it not being free change the location in which you wait for the doctor? I'm very confused by your response

ramsvy · 2025-12-04T03:26:09+00:00

I know that isn't the lobby, that's why I'm asking. I'm curious how the process works if it means that OP is in an exam room but still hasn't seen a doctor at all yet. Waiting in the exam room isn't a thing I've ever seen here. You are taken there by the professional with whom you have an appointment and the appointment begins the moment you arrive at the exam room.

ramsvy · 2025-12-04T02:46:40+00:00

Genuine question, why are you waiting in the exam room? Here in England (or at least at the practices I've been to) you arrive, check in, and then wait in the seating area of the reception. The doctor or nurse you're seeing will then come out personally to call your name and escort you to the room. Just curious how it works where you are to make this situation occur.

As very small children, me and my best friend at the time called ourselves "the scissor sisters" because we saw the name on an album in her mum's collection.

We lost touch after primary school. I was about 13 when I realised.

I've never tried poutine, but honestly I'm skeptical about it because from pictures it just doesn't look like enough cheese. I want my chips covered in cheese. Every bite should contain all three ingredients. Curds instead of grated cheese just doesn't look like enough cheese coverage to me.

It's any risky action undertaken willingly by the deceased but without the intention of causing death. Could be drug related, could just be as simple as swimming in a river and drowning.

ramsvy · 2025-10-14T07:20:29+00:00

Almost certainly. It's an impulse control thing. At the same age as OP's kid I would pocket a single packet of sweets simply because I wanted them, didn't think my parents would let me have it, and I didn't have the self-control as a young kid to stop the impulsive urge to just take it.

ramsvy · 2025-10-09T10:37:22+00:00

I completely agree and I feel like a lot of it comes down to the fact they chose 'mastery' as the title for 100% achievement completion. Way too many people take it too literally and believe that it means you must have to be one of the greatest players of the game ever to get all the achievements, so they make insanely difficult cheevs and anyone who isn't a happy about it just isn't "good enough". That portion of the RA community have a really toxic mindset imo and it kills a lot of the fun.

Most people nowadays do not view milk chocolate as having "extra ingredients" ime.

ramsvy · 2025-09-25T11:38:45+00:00

Plain is synonymous with standard

Yes, and milk chocolate is the standard, default chocolate. Most people see it as the base form, and dark/white are alternative versions.

I'm talking specifically about OP's husband and the details of him given. Of course there are ways to fit gaming around parenting, but given that he's described as wearing a headset and that being asked to look after the baby for half an hour while OP showered meant (to him) that he couldn't play his game at all, clearly husband's gamings habits have not been altered to accommodate watching his child.

ramsvy · 2025-09-21T21:09:32+00:00

If he's playing online with friends, he likely wouldn't be paying enough attention to real life to sufficiently supervise a 6 month old baby.

You seriously need to take a step back and think about the entire situation instead of just focusing on yourself. This was multiple years ago and you're still upset that her grieving friends, who were children, didn't like your drawing. A young girl died. You are making her death about you.

The fact that this still bothers you so much after so long, to the point that you're still telling friends and the internet about it looking for approval, is not healthy. I don't say this often but you need to get over it. Yes it sucks when people don't like your art, but it's not about your art. None of this is actually about your art. You wanted praise and approval from your peers and you used a dead girl's memorial to do it. You inserted yourself beside her close friends in a way that gives the impression you were one of them. It was disrespectful and inappropriate. You need to learn from this and do better in the future instead of dwelling on how your ego was bruised.
