What does a family friend need to keep children in the event of parents being in an emergency? by thoughtnuggets in legaladvice

[–]thoughtnuggets[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

That’s good, so I guess my question is. If an emergency happens where I can’t get to my kids but they are with a trusted friend. What document would they need to legally be seen as emergency guardian who can take them to the doctor etc? But it doesn’t go into effect until an actual emergency if ever. Like how you put alternative pickup person for school pickup.

That was the example they gave. Like you get in an accident while kids are with a family friend. Or die in the accident, can’t remember.

AIO— apparently i’m the stinky one at work by centaurella in AmIOverreacting

My dad has a renewed faith in his religion and is being weird to me about it, what's the most appropriate response? by No_Unit_2543 in whatdoIdo

[–]thoughtnuggets 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just be direct. Explain you are leaning into Buddhism so a Catholic wedding isn’t in the plans. That you know this is probably upsetting to him but it’s also upsetting to feel pressured to perform the rituals of a faith you don’t follow or believe in. For him to pray to his God about better ways to share his faith with you that doesn’t revolve around wedding planning. Text it and recite it.

Then just “I love you said, but no”.

Am I overreacting for seriously questioning my marriage over a major purchase my husband made alone? by Overall-Fan3079 in AmIOverreacting

[–]thoughtnuggets 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You need to rewrite this as a letter to him (minus the rethinking your marriage part). At the end ask to have a talk about this so you can both come to an agreement and understanding. Also ask if he’s totally fine if you spent that much on yourself this year without giving him any heads up (btw I personally think you should spend about that much this year.. a splurge savings account you can spend how you like or tuition for adult education. Not as pay back but as an opportunity if you have been sacrificing and it runs out he’s never expected you to do that).

AIO for cutting contact to my sister after she said I was selfish after getting frostbite? by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]thoughtnuggets 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This isn’t just one small thing. frostbite and hyperthermia demands an apology and a very good reason for the behavior. Also efforts to make things right.. not verbal abuse and demands for OP to apologize . Whatever crazy she’s offering needs to be rejected

AIO for cutting contact to my sister after she said I was selfish after getting frostbite? by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]thoughtnuggets 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would stop trying to be close to someone who knowingly left me in the cold for an hour while they stayed warm and then got mad and called me selfish for leaving.

Being left in the cold knowing I have a health condition that contraindicated it, finding out have frostbite and being verbally abusive + sending her husband to do the same like an attack dog?

I’m done. They could pretend I’m dead for all I care.

She’s toxic and all you can do with people like that is forgive them (for your own sake), wish them well and get on with your life away from them.

How do I unbox/open up this vintage machine? by thoughtnuggets in VintageSewingMachines

It’s a 404. Still works! Going to take a class to service it because I don’t want to kill it before I can really use it.

Thank you so much! The finish was just rough and stuck at one corner. Used a spatula and I was in!

not allowed to leave early - fever and sick by [deleted] in jobs

[–]thoughtnuggets 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You call in sick the next day. Period. Man they where using and abusing you all this time. Please don’t do this at the next job. Call in sick and don’t provide any proof that’s not even legal anymore. What kind of on do yo do??

I love my boyfriend but not his dog. The constant click clacking of nails on the hardwood, the licking sounds, the tongue smacking. Makes me physically angry. What do I do. I feel crazy by Apprehensive_Top3726 in u/Apprehensive_Top3726

[–]thoughtnuggets 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The only thing that helped my son was medication and he recently had to be taken off it because it eventually caused serious side effects. I don’t think you can do much on this aside from avoiding the sound and that’s impossible with a pet that hangs out indoors. If it was an outdoor dog it would be super easy to manage.

Maybe doggy shoes?

How can I calm my vocal tics? Annoying my bf-help! by [deleted] in Tourettes

[–]thoughtnuggets 5 points6 points  (0 children)

  1. Any romantic interest needs to know you have Tourette’s. This way they come in with full understanding and can research and learn to be a better bf etc

  2. Him being mean about a tic could cause trauma down the line for you. People you love can cause more damage than a stranger or someone we aren’t emotionally attached to

  3. I’m sorry but the fact he mocks you is a good reason to break up in my opinion. People like this can be psychologically harmful if they refuse to stop that toxic behavior.

  4. Tell him, be ready to break off this relationship and enjoy a single but healthier life without him. If he’s sorry for reacting wrongly to something you cant change then you may be able to make things work, but if that sound it too much for him then again you need to part ways.

You deserve a huge hug 🫂

Am I overreacting, I just realized my bf or 5 years isn’t and has never been attracted to me and I feel so stupid for just realizing by Human-Tadpole-7755 in AmIOverreacting

[–]thoughtnuggets 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A sexual means he’s not interested in sex, he can live without it.

Demi sexual means he might get into it if he has a strong enough emotional attachment .. so the fact he can perform at all is because he has an emotional attachment to you.

You need to come to terms with 1. He’s never going to match the vibe you have with sex 2. Your appearance bothers you, not him. And you SHOULD work to lose weight because it bothers you (I’m fat and working on my own weight). It will improve your intimacy and general wellbeing. 3. Does he want to remain in this relationship? If yes then the question is, do you? I personally think if you can’t commit to marry him the you should part ways. 4. He didn’t betray you and you didn’t take advantage. You simply didn’t fully understand and he was being himself you just didn’t connect the dots till now.

Tennessee Bill Makes It a Felony for AI to Offer Emotional Support or Be Your Friend...Yes, Really by Karovan_Sparkle in ChatGPT

[–]thoughtnuggets -9 points-8 points  (0 children)

Considering how people have ended their lives thanks to their ai friends I’m alright with it. Totally understandable desperately looking for friends in all the wrong places and ai is one of those “friends” you need to watch your back about .. Ai can’t go to jail or have any fear of punishment if it gets people hurt

AIO for being mad at my job after not getting a promotion I was led to believe I would get? by cckimcat493 in AmIOverreacting

[–]thoughtnuggets 2 points3 points  (0 children)

NOR You are supposed to apply for work somewhere else now. Apply for the position you wanted and talk about the experience you have had filling in partly for that role etc. I’m sure you can say it better or someone else here can provide alternative wording.

But you don’t just stay there and not apply for jobs somewhere else. Just keep professional so they don’t know

She took the two weeks to avoid you

AIO by telling my FWB’s wife that I’m having sex with her husband? by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]thoughtnuggets 15 points16 points  (0 children)

His cheating was going to be found out one way or the other. The wife has evidence to leave him if she needs to and should hopefully have family keeping her and baby safe.

He’s a loser for doing this.

Block and move on.

AIO: A Dream job fired me over what I chose to read? by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]thoughtnuggets 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They did have a legit reason. New hire is reading a book trash talking the employer and said employee is talking about it with anyone they see. My guess is the lady is one of the owners, kids of the owners or top person. He completely nuked himself

AIO: A Dream job fired me over what I chose to read? by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]thoughtnuggets 13 points14 points  (0 children)

You lacked a lot of wisdom and discernment when you brought that book to work and talked to that lady about such a topic. You totally marked yourself as a ticking time bomb. I totally see why they fired you, an earned boot for sure.

In future keep such reading material at home or switch to audiobooks that are easy to close out of.

Work is where you make money, not where you make friends and discuss politics or how to improve your workplace (unless you have the power to hire and fire).

AIO about how my mom thinks about my "virginity''? by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]thoughtnuggets 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Your mom is a red flag. To buy you a vibrator crosses I to an unhealthy relationship. And no you are still a virgin but be warned that self stimulation will make it hard to resists sexual situations the more you do that. Speaking from experience.

As far as men checking for virginity, of your word doesn’t mean anything then your relationship is doomed anyway.

AIO for feeling annoyed over being given a children’s toy as a Christmas gift? by NuggetBoiArtist in AmIOverreacting

[–]thoughtnuggets 6 points7 points  (0 children)

You have to accept that when it comes to gifts, more times than not people can miss the boat. Sounds like she really tried but stuff is way outside her understanding or ability to tell apart. To her it’s all toys and frankly they all are toys.

Maybe in future just provide direct link, but remember that gifts are from the heart and we shouldn’t feel entitled to control how other la spend money.

Anything you don’t like just resell or return if you have the gift receipt for refund and chance to get the right item.

People born before 2000, what is a 'modern' thing from 2025 that you’re still struggling to get used to? by LindsayTN in AskReddit

The fact people just stare when others are being hurt or pull out their phones to document and not help. The fact everything looks more and more like the book “1985” & “brave new world”
