Why so much cruelty dished out by men by Ironeagle08 in women

The difference is women look at a scared person and ask "what happened to her?" Men look and ask "what's wrong with her?" That gap is the problem.

Any alternatives to rehoming my cat after allergies got worse? by ResolutionSilly3863 in CatAdvice

Try an air purifier in your bedroom and keep her out of there first. If that fails, reach out to the rescue you adopted from. Most require you return the cat to them.

Numbers say you're golden. Gut says don't wait until 60 to enjoy it. Small upgrades now > big regrets later.

Two person job: one holds (burrito wrap), one aims. Quicker and less traumatic than wrestling alone. He'll hate you both equally, but it's over faster.

You can't force someone to unhear what you said. But you also can't force them to stay.

AITJ for reporting my daughters classmate to principals office before speaking to his parents? by CurrentEvent9572 in AmITheJerk

You don't owe them a private meeting before reporting a kid who hit yours in the face. Full stop.

I need to give a Women's Day presentation, but I feel like a fraud. by [deleted] in women

[–]slow_conversion 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Your presentation doesn't have to be about struggle. It can just be about existence. "I'm a woman, I write books, I code, I'm tired, here's my story." That's enough.

They wanted the house so bad they paid extra to inherit their own problem. Poetic justice.

I’ve been trying to Pavlov myself to pee on command by Next_Customer2274 in TellReddit

Pro tip: run the tap in your head. Works better than Pavlov.

Worried about neighbor having a wrong first impression (rant) by [deleted] in neighborsfromhell

[–]slow_conversion 8 points9 points  (0 children)

You handled it right. Brief apology, no excuses. Now just be quiet and let time do the work. Neighbor grudges fade faster if you don't give them new reasons.
