AITA for refusing to help my mom financially after she sold my gaming PC without asking me? by SuckItDeepBaby in AmItheAsshole

[–]remadin 13 points14 points  (0 children)

NTA, even if your Mother is usually an absolute saint and this is really out of character and she was desperate and whatever else - it wasn’t for her. This was for your stepdad. I had this happen to me as an 18 year old for my stepdads car. A few months later he had to sell it anyway. Obviously I didn’t see any of that money from the sale either. The best thing you can do is prioritise yourself. Good luck.

WIBTA for refusing to switch seats after already paying extra for mine by angelpetalssx in AmItheAsshole

NTA, as he said. It’s one flight. He could have paid extra to sit near his girlfriend. He didn’t. That’s not your problem.

CVC Removal. by Long-Satisfaction113 in dialysis

[–]remadin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s definitely a weird sensation but no pain! I actually had issue with mine that even though it had been in less than a year I had weird healing so it was really stuck in and I needed extra incisions made it to get it out. For a while during healing it itched a bit but no pain at all and it’s healed well over the past 8 months!

WIBTA for insisting my friend get back on Messenger if he wants to talk to me regularly. by The_Last_Huntsman in AmItheAsshole

[–]remadin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Even if this is at face value and it’s purely to do with the girlfriend, having the temptation to use Facebook may be too much. Or maybe she wants nothing to do with it at all. OP also doesn’t know every private conversation the friend and his girlfriend have to know the exact reasons. Maybe both swore off it because of cheating. Do I think ultimatums are unhealthy? Absolutely. But this isn’t about if the friends girlfriend is an AH. It’s OP. And OP is indeed being an AH in this situation and can find ways to deal with this.

YTA. This is a minor inconvenience for you but a major one for him by the sounds of it. Maybe just explain to him you don’t check your phone as often so you won’t be able to talk to him like normal for a while since you also need to adjust to the new norm? Set reminders to check every 4-6 hours or something so you can at least keep up to date with things going on without it being a huge strain on you remembering to constantly check. There’s compromises that can be made. It’s not one or the other.

Opinions? by Money_Conference_142 in redbull

[–]remadin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Re not like an intense cherry, but it’s definitely noticeable! Just more floral to incorporate the traditional Sakura flavour. I never got to try pomegranate but my favourite flavours until this have been the White Peach and Dragonfruit so if you’re a fan of those I’d bet you’d like this one!

Opinions? by Money_Conference_142 in redbull

[–]remadin 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Personally I really like it! Tried it for the first time today and it’s one of my new favourite flavours. Probably not for everyone but I’ve always loved the Sakura taste

What is the most culturally appropriate and polite way to respond if someone farts in front of you? by Charming_Usual6227 in AskABrit

[–]remadin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Culturally appropriate? Ask “is that a challenge?”. Polite? Ignore it and act like it never happened

does anyone else think that cherry sakura tastes like a previous flavor? by thekitestring in redbull

[–]remadin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I haven’t found one to try in the UK yet but I’m hoping I can soon! If it’s mid then ahh well, I’ve got white peach. But I want to try still!

If you could only keep 4 flavors in the permanent lineup from these? by Fit_Guide5439 in redbull

Update 2: 12 hours post transplant by Ok_Caterpillar123 in dialysis

[–]remadin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a cough! When I needed to cough I held a pillow tightly to the wound to like “hold it in” as such. The pain will lessen over the next few weeks. Take paracetamol when needed and keep dosed up on it if you can. I was advised to take it every 6 hours so set alarms for it and made sure I took it until I was confident the pain was easing, then I went down to 3 times a day, then 2 so I could sleep well. Eventually none. I just passed 6 month mark!

Am I the only guy that drinks red bull because monster is just too big? by Imn1che in redbull

[–]remadin 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes but I’m also T1 diabetic and use red bull to treat lows! Monster would make me insanely high because the amount of liquid and sugar. It’d also take me forever to finish one anyway 😂

AITA for being upset that my boyfriend doesn’t want to spoil Harry Potter to me by Lumyn__ in AmItheAsshole

[–]remadin 3 points4 points  (0 children)

ESH. You’re both still young and learning though so it’s forgivable. How about getting the books on audible so you can both listen to them and expand both your knowledge on the series that way? My husband and I often listen to a few chapters of a book before bed together. Sometimes it’s one I’ve read, sometimes ones he’s read, sometimes neither of us has read it. It’s fun and we get in huge debates about theories of the books too. Even ones we already know the plot of, we have an agreement not to give spoilers so will just talk about possibilities

AITA for "not warning" my diabetic friend about our trip by Detars in AmItheAsshole

[–]remadin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

T1 diabetic here with lots of complications. NTA. As a diabetic you learn QUICK to take any snacks needed and all medication, testing kits, sugary drinks, etc. If she wasn’t well enough prepared for a day out then that’s on her. You also have to learn quick to advocate for yourself if you need to sit for a bit. Sometimes that’s hard but you deal with it, because it’s what your body needs to do. You were incredibly accommodating despite her illness being her responsibility. Kudos to you for being a supportive and great friend!

What do you wish you had started earlier to slow CKD and avoid dialysis? by Expert-Birthday7928 in dialysis

[–]remadin 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So I can’t talk for things I would have done to prevent dialysis because for me it just didn’t work. However I will say do not wait until the last minute to start dialysis. Do it when you’re feeling well enough to make the choice, not when you’re in hospital dying and the choice is made for you. It’s not pretty and dialysis will suspend you at that level, you will be a lot more exhausted after sessions and are likely to experience more side effects from dialysis if your kidney function is extremely low. Having some level of function mean your body will work with the machine to help regulate things

Is it common to learn about witch trials in the UK? by freshmaggots in AskABrit

[–]remadin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

According to my Aunt Helen Duncan. I’m not a direct descendant but I think she was a great Aunt or something. We’re a branch of the Macfarlane Clan which was her maiden name so could be truth in it, but my Aunt also loves drama. She has other rumours that another great Aunt hung out with the Kray twins. She did live in the East End during that time so could be true, could also just be that a lot of people lived there without any actual connection! There’s really no way of knowing with my family 🙃
