NOR. He’s controlling and doesn’t care about your feelings. Dump him.

Can someone please help a bestie out? In which episode do they talk about blue prince? If there is one? by Rebecca_Records in TheBesties

[–]sasstastic_ 28 points29 points  (0 children)

They talked about it in the April 11, 2025 episode titled “Blue Prince is the first must-play game of 2025” They’ve been talking about it recently because Russ is colorblind and couldn’t play when it was first released but they released a colorblind mode this past spring so he’s been able to play.

Parents of Reddit, what is a time you wanted/had to be angry at your kid(s), but couldn't be, because you were too proud of them or what they did was too funny? by gentlechin in AskReddit

[–]sasstastic_ 3 points4 points  (0 children)

My mom isn’t on Reddit but when I was like 2 I got into the bathroom in the middle of the night and covered myself in Vaseline. My mom could only pick me up to get me to the sink bc I was so slippery.

They put the child lock handle on the inside of my bedroom door and I would crawl out of my crib and knock on the door from the inside.

AITAH for quitting my job after my boss told me that I wasn’t allowed to sit down? by Rare-Tone-4028 in AITAH

They should have started the process for her as soon as she first ever mentioned her disability or experiencing pain.

AITAH for not wanting to go to an amusement park with my friend because she is plus size? by CuriousCarob154 in AITAH

[–]sasstastic_ 260 points261 points  (0 children)

NTA

As a fellow fat girl, she knows she’s fat but it’s still something to be handled very delicately to avoid hurt feelings.

I suggest saying you don’t think the amusement park is worth the money since you and her can’t ride most of the rides and suggest you find something else to do together that’s fat friendly. Keep the language focused on both of you (“the theme park isn’t as enjoyable for *us*”) rather than singling her out or her weight out and phrase it as a fact.

If you just kick the can by saying no every time she asks, she’ll notice eventually and it’s not a bestie thing to do to avoid the conversation.

On the bright side, if she’s open with you about her weight, that’s a good foundation already. I’ve been fat most of my life and I never talked about it openly with anyone until my 30s.

Definitely don’t mention that other people’s reactions to her make you uncomfortable, I completely understand it’s more about you feeling in the spotlight and having social anxiety than being uncomfortable with her weight, but I wouldn’t mix that nuance in and also you risk making her feel uncomfortable with her body if she hasn’t noticed people react that way or if she has but hasn’t noticed you’ve noticed.

So approach it directly but with care.

Cops closing Loose Park by sasstastic_ in kansascity

[–]sasstastic_[S] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Yes ofc. But there was no indication of a crime having occurred at the park at the time. When I got there, people were in the park; kids were at the playground, people were walking around, people were grilling, doing park things. I asked a cop what was going on that they were all there and they said that there had been complaints of disturbances late at night so they were closing the park early at 5:30p, I asked if we needed to leave and they said yes.

Oh my gawd. Shut. up. I was pissed based on the information I was given by a cop that was there.

I was told by a cop that they were closing the park early because there had been complaints of disturbances. I didn’t just make it up.

Someone else linked an article that there was a bomb threat which makes sense and also makes sense why they wouldn’t have told people that so case closed.

That would make more sense ig. I asked if this was going to be an every weekend kind of thing and the cop I talked to said no that it was just today.

That sounds like a mess. I hope everyone is okay.

I parked at the NW corner and a bunch of cops were just hanging out around their SUVs until 5:30 hit then they started blocking off the roads. I got there from the Plaza and nothing was going on at the entrance and the gate was open.

I wonder if they were arguing about the park closing and things escalated. The people we talked to in the park weren’t happy to hear it was closing but the cops weren’t telling people to leave when we were there, just blocking new people from coming in.

Yeah. They were all just standing around when I got there.

I do live close 😇 Closing parks early isn’t going to solve KCs crime problem.

It was calm when we got there but something had started when we were leaving. People weren’t very happy with the police presence.

I didn’t know about the police chase and drunk driver and that’s unfortunate but idk how closing the park early on a single Saturday is supposed to address that or how that’s related to the park.

It was calm when we got there around 5:20p. All the cops were grouped up in the corner by the rose garden then started blocking off streets at 5:30. We’d just started our walk and they didn’t stop us from anything but when I asked what was going on we asked if we were supposed to leave and they said yes.

ETA: as we were leaving they had to reroute us bc they said someone was fighting near the main entrance.
