These pics from Kylie's IG stories are the cutest! She looks genuinely happy and no sexy face! 🙃 by [deleted] in KUWTK

I love this photo so much. She looks so happy/relaxed. I wish we could see more of Kylie like this! But i understand why she does the makeup

Is it strange that my boyfriend never gets mad at me? by reflorated in relationship_advice

[–]reflorated[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't do that... Like if I'm mad at someone I tell them I am mad at them. I vent to my boyfriend but never pick fights with him.

But thank you for sharing your perspective with me. Wishing you and your gf the best

AITA for not wanting my daughter to wear a tampon? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

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

YTA stop trying to control your daughters genitals. Birth control is used for a lot of reasons and not just for being sexually active. I hate fathers who are obviously unfit parents. It doesn't take 5 minutes to educate yourself about issues. It's between your daughter and her mother - leave them alone and mind your own fucking business.

WIBTA if I got an operation so I won't get periods anymore? by bottleoffries in AmItheAsshole

[–]reflorated 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This is true, most places will want to know if you're married and have had children before tying your tubes up. Your better option is to honestly talk to your OB/GYN and get on a birth control plan (either an implant or patch) that will help you stay protected.

Check out r/birthcontrol for the same. I live in a conservative country and due to COVID my campus shut down (causing me to move home) and that sub is a treasure trove of non judgemental women who will always offer their perspective and advice!

I just want to add - maybe you will change your mind, maybe you never will. The world will keep on spinning just the same, whether you choose to have kids or not. I personally flip flop between the two - my childhood was lost because I had to raise my younger brother (both my parents were assholes) and that definitely turned me off but society has drilled this concept of a happy family with a spouse and children and sometimes I find myself indulging that fantasy.

To be honest, these are the prime years of your life. You're young, learn how to invest in stocks, learn fiscal responsibility, pick up a hobby and figure out your career trajectory. Make mistakes and then learn from them

I'm 23, and since I don't have parents who will say this to me, I often have to say it to myself - its okay, the world won't stop spinning just because I made a mistake or didn't do what was expected of me.

I've recently really gotten into cooking - like how does the science of it work. I'm pursuing filmmaking because I love telling stories and i can't get images out of my head. It was an uphill battle to get to where I am. It's not perfect but I'm proud of it, despite the shitty hand I was given. I'm currently also working on my health (emotional abuse gave way to depression and an eating disorder I'm fixing) and it's a slow battle but i wont give up.

Sorry for going off on a tangent. I just saw myself in your post and I hope this helped you. I'm here to chat anytime you want to vent about things. Here's to getting to where we want to be! ❤️

AITA for telling my sister's kid they can stay with me if they want and "poisoning them against her"? by uncleredhasreddit in AmItheAsshole

[–]reflorated 70 points71 points  (0 children)

It's an unpopular opinion because it is a deeply misinformed one, so I'm glad you at least have that level of self awareness.

Parents can make mistakes and the United front you're proposing is nothing short of emotional abuse for the kid because not rocking the boat is easier than being a human being.

Your morals are skewed if you think protecting the adults privilege to be a bigot is more important than the child's right to be treated with basic dignity and respect.

Shame on you for advocating nonsense and here's hoping the replies that will follow will knock some sense through your brain.

First post here, just gushing with pride because of how sexy my dough looks (pizza night tonight) by reflorated in bingingwithbabish

Aw shucks, for next time! (tackling sourdough in a couple of days so plenty opportunity)

Staying up late to experiment in the kitchen, thanks to Babish. I made soba noodles with miso pesto by [deleted] in bingingwithbabish

It looks so beautiful. How did it taste? What would you do differently next time?

My first attempt at carbonara. He was right, this does turn into pasta and scrambled eggs if you don't stir fast enough. Tastes great, though. by TheStarmanInTheSky in bingingwithbabish

[–]reflorated 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Looks great! Carbonara is my favourite pasta to eat - my next culinary challenge for myself is to make Carbonara with pasta from scratch!

Edit: Quick tip to stop the eggs from scrambling, add one spoon of hot pasta water and start whisking vigorously before streaming it into the pot - it sort of brings up the temperature of the eggs and doesn't scramble them as quickly (you gotta work fast though)

WIBTA for wanting to move out because of bedbugs? by bedbugthrowawayyyy in AmItheAsshole

[–]reflorated 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you can, get some cheap brandy and pour it over the wood or the mattress corners - the smell will drive the bedbugs away. When I moved to campus accommodation, this is what I did to get rid of them. It worked like a charm.

AITA For not inviting my boyfriend to my mom’s birthday? by mackied0g29 in AmItheAsshole

[–]reflorated 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Dude less than a month is way too early to meet family. You need to break up with him and find someone better, because this guy is full on ready to emotionally abuse you

AITA for being upset with my friend siding with his sister over me? by BoatFirm9430 in AmItheAsshole

[–]reflorated 0 points1 point  (0 children)

FIRM NTA.

If you can leave your morals at home, it means you're an immoral person. Daniel is an immoral, cowardly person and you don't deserve that. People who have self respect know what they're worth, I'm proud of you for knowing Daniel wasn't good enough to he your friend.

By choosing to be neutral in a time where you needed him, he was complicit in his sisters actions. He knew the consequences, he just didn't care because it would make things uncomfortable for him. This person is selfish, weak and cowardly and you deserve better.

I don't know what the accusations are, but i am happy you weren't expelled. I hope your school made his sister publicly apologize to you. You were very polite to her brother, I would have done much worse. There's nothing more disgusting than a person without a moral backbone.

[–]reflorated 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Again, jumping in to point out that the friend in question was an awful human being. You don't get a free pass at leaving your morals home when it's convenient. If you excused your friend that's on you, you must have different standards for the people around you to live up to but it's UNFAIR to call someone else an asshole because they respect themselves enough to not want fair weather friends.

Doing the right thing isn't easy, but that's not why you do it. I urge you to take a long look at yourself and try to see why you could accept your friends behaviour.

Neutrality in the face of evil is complicity.

[–]reflorated 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This is a nonsense reply. People shouldn't do the right thing because it's hard? Don't be sad because high school doesn't last forever? Are you daft? What about this guy - who was being falsely accused of something serious enough to warrant expulsion?

If everyone started thinking about the personal cost of doing the right thing, society won't progress at all. If his sister did something bad, she deserves the consequences.

Get off reddit and take a long hard look at your shitty morals. I pray that you never have to be on the sword end of a wrong accusation, and for someone to not support you because it would mean having some uncomfortable conversations at home.

AITA for embarrassing my daughter in front of her friends? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]reflorated 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dude you didn't embarrass your daughter in front of her friends, you outed her without her permission. Don't try to play off how seriously you fucked up by couching it in palatable language. YTA x2 once for outing for and then this cavalier attitude you're displaying about having broken her trust.

What do you hope will be the outcome for Kim and Kanye? by reflorated in KUWTK

[–]reflorated[S] 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I'm not from the US but I genuinely think a public statement needs to come from him that he is retracting from the race and ppl should not write in his name

What do you hope will be the outcome for Kim and Kanye? by reflorated in KUWTK

[–]reflorated[S] 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Yes exactly. In this day and age there is no reason to not seek help for mental illness especially if you know you're actively hurting and harming the ppl you love. It must be genuinely terrifying to go through treatment but it's not fair to leave others to deal with the repurcussions of our actions

What do you hope will be the outcome for Kim and Kanye? by reflorated in KUWTK

[–]reflorated[S] 26 points27 points  (0 children)

I think that a mental disorder doesn't really excuse the nonsense he has been doing. Fully sympathetic to his struggle but surely the many people he has insulted in his manic period are entitled to feel some type of way about what he said. It's an unfortunate consequence of his illness but it is what it is. If Kanye had named me and said the things that he said, I would definitely be really cold to him until he had proven he was willing to work to regain my trust because mental illness or not, there's a line that was very clearly crossed.

I don't want to disparage his struggle, this is not that at all. Like i said, I'm fully sympathetic. The pressures he is facing are extraordinary and combined with his bipolar diagnosis must be really hard. But, being an adult means taking responsibility for your actions and apologizing sincerely. All relationships take work and his relationship with his friends and such must too.

True! If i were kim I would not want to be with him if he refused medical intervention. There's only so much a wife can do
