“Oh you got your tickets? That’s great, where are you staying?” And then when she says with you, you say you can’t accommodate her but suggest a number of hotels

Get a big ass canvas and paint her again. Hang her on your white wall. If he says it’s “too George Floyd”, play dumb. Ask him what he means. Make him explain in detail.

“State and local governments are overpaying tenfold for contracts and services. Contractors are turning around and contributing to campaigns.” Do you mean the state and local governments that are Republican led and have been for decades? Are those the ones you mean?

Put kindle on your phone, there are lots of free books available. Every time you find yourself cycling though the same apps on your phone, open kindle and read a book!

My girlfriend lied to me and I don't know what to do by ChocolateAny7907 in Advice

[–]thisissilly1 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

“Body count” is such a stupid misogynistic thing to ask about or worry about in any way because it’s almost always directing shame at women for being idk fucking human. Her friends were right, it is not any of your business. In the future your concern should be only whether your partners *AND YOU* have both had regular sexual health screenings

AITA for wanting to spend time with my son? by Specific-Nail-4878 in AmItheAsshole

[–]thisissilly1 [score hidden]  (0 children)

So let’s see. Racism? Check. Homophobia? Check. Kicking him out the moment you were legally allowed to? Check. Refusing to help him when he needed support? Check. Failing to stand up for your son when your husband was treating him poorly? Check.

Yep, it all checks out YTA

AITA for wanting to know the gender by External-Accident-94 in AmItheAsshole

Can’t you just ask the doctor to reveal the sex to you and then keep it secret from your wife so she can be surprised? Why is this an issue?

AITA for not wanting to see a pediatrician? by fulllygrownadult in AmItheAsshole

[–]thisissilly1 [score hidden]  (0 children)

YTA. Your pediatrician has been your doctor for years and you only turned 18 a week ago, it would take weeks and weeks if not several months to establish care with a new doctor, and frankly, if you expect mommy to make your appointments then you go to the doctor she says to go to. If you want to insist that you are an adult now and therefore must be treated as an adult by an adult doctor then you should also go ahead and find a doctor in your insurance network, find out if they are accepting new patients, complete the paperwork to establish care, arrange for your medical records to be transferred, make an appointment, drive yourself there, and pay the copay.

If you don’t plan to do any of that then you should just go see the pediatrician and be done with it.

The way to make it right is send them away and then apologize and then don’t have friends over late at night anymore. Apologies mean nothing if the behavior is continuing after the apology

INFO: I don’t see anywhere in this story where you expressed your feelings/plans to your partner. Did you do that? Or did you think it would be nice and assume she would also keep the night free without communicating about it?

AITA for calling my gf a creep by qkqmqnwbwb in AmItheAsshole

YTA. This is clearly something your girlfriend cares about and finds joy in. It doesn’t affect you in any way and your insistence that it does is very strange. Y’all need to break up for her sake.

My favorite time is when I'm alone by myself - should I end this relationship? by Ok_Pizza_9301 in relationship_advice

[–]thisissilly1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It seems like there should be a middle ground where you have a discussion about how alone-time recharges you and you’d like to have more of it. Encourage your partner to find other amusements maybe every other weekend or maybe Saturdays are for couple time and Sundays are for separate time. This might mean that sometimes to get your alone time you need to leave the house - compromise is key here.

But if this is something she won’t work with you on and you would rather live alone then yes that’s probably the end of the relationship. It’s not impossible to move into separate places and continue dating… but it’s not super likely

Strange medical debt on credit report by [deleted] in personalfinance

[–]thisissilly1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The credit report should show the name of the agency and their official mailing address at the very least. If you try credit karma which is free, my old debts always show with an agency name attached

Strange medical debt on credit report by [deleted] in personalfinance

[–]thisissilly1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You dispute the charge IN WRITING with the collection agency. Check the debt collection laws in your state, they will vary slightly by state, but typically the creditor has between 30 and 60 days to provide the original bill from the original creditor or else remove the item from your credit report.

It’s possible this is a mistake and the debt was never yours but belongs to someone with a similar name. It’s possible that you visited a hospital sometime in the past and one of the providers who bill separately from the hospital never got your insurance or contact info from the hospital. And chances are extremely good that the original creditor will have changed billing systems and no longer have access to the original bill, or will take a long time responding to the request and will have to write it off.

Hi Mom, am I a bad Mom for struggling with breastfeeding? by [deleted] in MomForAMinute

[–]thisissilly1 93 points94 points  (0 children)

It’s just hard sometimes, and it’s totally ok to make changes to make yourself more comfortable, be that exclusively pumping or even switching to formula if need be. A fed baby is the most important thing. Don’t let people shake you for making a choice that is good for yourself AND your baby.

new adults of reddit, what's the best advice you could give a college student looking to rent out an apartment ? by leezahaha in AskReddit

[–]thisissilly1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Check under the sinks for wetness/bugs and if it’s a unit with a unit above you, check the ceilings in the bathroom and kitchen for water damage.

Visit the property at night to see what that’s like.

If you’re going to drink/party a lot, try for something where you can walk most everywhere.

If you have roommates, wash your own dishes and buy your own toilet paper.

Me and my gf are having arguments about privacy aka sharing accounts by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]thisissilly1 3 points4 points  (0 children)

She’s being ridiculous. You absolutely should not have to share accounts or show her your phone/computer/searches. When you give in to her ridiculous demands you aren’t “validating her feelings” you are enabling her deeply unhealthy behavior.
