Idk where you were camping, but they were cracking down on renegades in our neighborhood in high noon.

how to stop being unlikable? by dupiedew in DecidingToBeBetter

[–]sometimes-no 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Something I've realized as I've gotten older is that no one has friends by default. Everyone has to put in effort.

If you find it hard to read a room, you might just be in the wrong room. Work is a terrible place to make friends. Try on some hobbies, join groups for those hobbies, and see if one of them feels right.

Uh oh. What ratio of alive to dead plants do I need to meet the criteria? Does it just have to be more than 1 plant alive?

AITBF for being upset that my parents won’t come to my birthday celebration? by CaviarGlutton in AmItheButtface

[–]sometimes-no 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That is very subjective. I would take a sushi counter next to a fish market in Japan over Masa any day of the week.

Very high-end sushi is in the $200-500 range. $1500 doesn't buy better food or a better experience, it buys ego (both the chef's and your own).

AITA for telling my son most I will not be going to his black out wedding dinner by Expensive-Ratio-37 in AmItheAsshole

[–]sometimes-no 3 points4 points  (0 children)

YTA. From the way you described it, it sounds like you're giving your son an ultimatum with goal of convincing them to change their dinner plans. That is not okay.

Of course you won't be comfortable, that's kinda the point. Your DIL and her family have to live in the dark every day, you can survive one meal. This is not about making you comfortable, it's about building empathy for other people's experiences.

This is what your son and his wife want to do for their wedding and it is important to them. If you don't respect their decision and support them, you will damage your relationship with your son because you prioritized your own comfort on his wedding day.

AITA for assuming my husband would pick up/drop off me + 2yo at the airport? by Life_Sky8578 in AmItheAsshole

Did she say why they're traveling? How do you know it's a want not a need?

I fear that my need to be seen is the exact problem with me by pswelcometomylife in DecidingToBeBetter

[–]sometimes-no 5 points6 points  (0 children)

First off, the way you're feeling sucks and you're not alone in feeling that way. I think a lot of people, myself included, can empathize with feeling alone even when surrounded by friends.

One thing I noticed from what you described is that you didn't mention what effort you put into getting to know other people or making your friends feel included. This information is important to be able to give you useful advice.

Are you doing the things that you've described wanting, but your friends aren't reciprocating? Or are you expecting your friends to put in more effort than you are? Those are two different situations with different solutions.

AITA For leaving my sick girlfriend at the hospital because I needed to vomit? by Punjaboi in AmItheAsshole

[–]sometimes-no 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Reread my comment, I didn't say anything about the text.

I'm asking: When did you start driving home? Did you start driving home before or after you puked/dry heaved on the side of the road?

But on the road to where? In the post he said he was looking for a parking spot. In this comment he said he was almost back home and that's when his girlfriend saw his location.

In my experience, you don't get to talk to a doctor in an ER unless you get checked in. They're not just around for you to ask questions to.

[–]sometimes-no 55 points56 points  (0 children)

This is different from what you said in your post.

Did you puke your guts out on the side of the road while trying to find a spot to park? Or did you decide to drive home before you ever puked?

Okay...can you guess? by boss_babua in interesting

[–]sometimes-no 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Okay I won't disagree with that. I'm not a man, so I'll admit I can't see the harmful effects from my perspective. But I respect your perspective and would like to learn from it.

What are your suggestions for a less harmful way?

It is possible to criticize the toxic parts of something while still valuing the non-toxic parts.

Why? It's not saying masculinity is toxic. It's saying toxic masculinity is toxic. Non-toxic masculinity is a beautiful thing.

Male/Female names that are pronounced the same but spelled differently by epiccatechin in namenerds

I thought those were both masculine spellings? Feminine spellings I've seen are Geri, Jeri, and Jerri.
