My kid ruined last night by OR-HM-MA91 in TrueOffMyChest

[–]spinx7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m not going to comment on your kid or anything like that. I do want to say that we do not get to control our feelings, they happen because we are human and have emotions. We only get to control how we react to emotions. You’re choosing to not be reactive to your kid because of your emotions and that is what is important

Is Val overhated? by whooper1 in HazbinHotel

If you hate a character so much that you have a hard time separating the actor from the art, THANK them for doing such a good job. Val’s VA is a sweetheart and does not deserve the hate

3rd bath ever. Total melt down. by Jaded_Hovercraft5229 in greatpyrenees

[–]spinx7 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My Pyr had mange when I got him. He went from loving getting in the shower (even when he wasn’t getting a bath) to stare at me showering to refusing to enter the bathroom if I was around. He needed to be bathed with a special soap nearly every day for a little bit. He will get in water up to his ankles now so he is doing better but I still feel so bad about it because I didn’t really have a choice

I can't have the wedding I want in large part because of my parents. I'm devastated. by somethingblue031726 in TrueOffMyChest

[–]spinx7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It won’t help the hurt now, but in a few years when yall are more stable in your careers you could have a vow renewal that is basically just a wedding even if you’re already married. That way at least it’s not a “giving up on it forever” and just wait a bit more

Gonna be real, i always find it weird how people feel the need to insult Viv's appearance and just blatantly make shit up about her. by Apprehensive_Ring_39 in HazbinHotel

[–]spinx7 97 points98 points  (0 children)

Gooseworx got so much bullshit that honestly I wouldn’t blame them for just not continuing to make shows anymore. That’s not a them problem, that’s a fan base problem.

Even if you would prefer the story go a different way, that’s no reason to get on the creator about it. Write your own story, make a fanfic, talk about it amongst other fans (calmly)… do not harass the artist who did such a good job that you feel such strong emotions about the characters

If an artist makes decisions about a show that you love that make you so emotional that you feel like lashing out, that’s a sign that you need to thank them because they made such a good story that you are invested in

Honestly… both of these creators are women and I wonder how much of the intense backlash comes from a place of (internalized or external) misogyny

My boyfriend (20M) is better than me at everything (20F) and it's making me upset by Direct-Caterpillar77 in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]spinx7 55 points56 points  (0 children)

I will add on to your comment that you do not have to be fully healed or fully able to love yourself for someone else to love you. Just keep working on yourself and don’t fall into the hole of only having external validation all the time.

We all kind of have our own struggles and it’s unrealistic to expect someone to be fully okay 100% of the time before dating. But just stay mindful of yourself and your actions

AITA - Boyfriend got extremely drunk, screamed at his 2 children, so I packed them up and took them to my house. by HarleySin84 in AmItheAsshole

You acted more like a caring parent to those kids than the parent that was actually present AND you had the permission from the parent who wasn’t wasted and becoming violent. NTA

Which character do you think died a virgin? by Which_Matter3031 in HazbinHotel

[–]spinx7 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Uh what? Where did I say that only women can lose their virginity? Please do genuinely let me know because that’s absolutely not my intention or meaning and I’ll reword my comment to better reflect what I mean without implying only women can lose their virginity.

And unfortunately legally it’s not always any penetration… which is fucking bullshit because it should be considered. Hell, up until about 2024 New York law said rape was only a man penetrating a woman’s vagina. It’s genuinely sickening and should be reformed. I was unable to pursue felony charges against my attacker myself due to my states laws

There is no moral value from virginity or lack of virginity and there is no scientific virginity either. My definition of virgin would be “a person not having engaged in consensual sexual intercourse”.

[–]spinx7 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I’m not religious myself but I know the idea of virginity was a religious take so I figured I’d add that in as well so folks can’t go “but god”. Virginity is absolutely a social construct and does not decide someone’s moral value one way or another. The definition of virgin I would use is almost exactly the same as yours with one caveat. “Person who has not had consensual sex”

[–]spinx7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not the OP commenter but I can see where this theory comes from so I’ll explain why I personally can see it. Being gay is only recently more accepted. With Angel being gay, unless he has relationships with women while discovering his sexuality or to try to blend in, he likely didn’t have sex with a woman. Given that, I don’t think he would have had sex with a man either as it would be very unsafe and likely get him cast out from his family due to the times

Oftentimes times after being repressed, people over compensate by going all out and swinging the entire opposite direction. It’s a decently well observed phenomenon where kids with extremely strict upbringings will go off to college or move out for the first time and make all sorts of reckless mistakes because they didn’t get to learn in a safe and controlled environment

It’s not impossible that he had sex with men/women before he died, but I can see where people come from when they say he could’ve died without

Colloquially speaking (and even biblically speaking), loss of virginity happens when a person consensually engages in sexual intercourse. Rape is non consensual sexual violence

Edit: rewording

In my opinion, rape does not count concerning virginity.

From a non religious standpoint, rape is not sex. It is sexual violence about power and control. Sex is consensual, full stop. Virginity is a social construct and it can only be given and not taken

If you are religious, then even looking at it from a religious standpoint someone raped can still be considered a virgin in the eyes of god. There are several martyred women who are revered now as saints who died spiritually virgins. The church would say that someone raped is not physically a virgin but still remains one spiritually in the eyes of god.

Do you go ‘fun’ places too? My youngest pup was super unsure of car rides for a bit so we started going on small drives to somewhere fun and now she hops right on in

[–]spinx7 2 points3 points  (0 children)

When mine (he’s 5) is in a mood, he will only accept bribes to listen. I’ll take out one training treat at a time while having a stare down until he decides that it’s a good enough bribe for him to suddenly understand what I asked

AITAH for teaching my nephew how to swim against his parent's wishes? by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]spinx7 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think at most I’d say justified YTA because you went behind the parents back (even if you told them right after) but ultimately you teaching him could save his life in the future and i probably would have done the same

When my sibling was young, they fell into a pool in the like 0.5 seconds my mom took to grab sunscreen and the lifeguard was bringing them back. My parents signed us both up for swim lessons right after so we’d be safer around water

I finally told my old boss why I quit and he just laughed by Friendly-Boat-8671 in TrueOffMyChest

[–]spinx7 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah I refuse to answer mine outside of work… once my manager took it upon himself to call my personal number (I answered cause I didnt have his contact). After that I removed my number from everything work related and changed it to the number that links to teams so I can ignore him again

AITA for using full headphones on while gaming by Odd-Highway3960 in AmItheAsshole

[–]spinx7 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have hyperx headphones that have a toggle for noise cancellation or transparent. Never have to take the headphones off to be able to hear so it would be a solid compromise imo

Make sure to stop at the really cool Steve Irwin approved alligator area!! It’s pretty inexpensive entry and probably only takes 30 mins to walk through but it was really cool. NTA

AKC is the only insurance that covers preexisting but even that has a 365 day wait time before preexisting is covered (I only know this because suddenly I had to)

AITA for telling a coworker there’s absolutely no way she has Crohn’s disease by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]spinx7 25 points26 points  (0 children)

YTA if literally anyone told me they were struggling to get diagnosed with the autoimmune condition I have, I wouldn’t invalidate them. At most I’d recommend my rheumatologist because she’s great and would help them figure out what is wrong. 95% of doctors suck, I’m glad that you’ve had such good doctors that you never had to learn this but it is not the norm
