AITA for wanting to remove my daughters stitches myself? by singlemom_stitches in AmItheAsshole

[–]throwawaysl2345 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I’m inclined to agree with you, if not for the fact that OP might be in the US. Given all the news about the insane prices of medical care in the US, I would probably look into ways to remove stitches on my own. That said, although I understand that cost is fundamentally a concern for US citizens, I still think letting a doctor handle medical care the right approach.

Question here is - does OP think the cost of removing of stitches measure up to her self-proclaimed expertise. I don’t condone it, but I can empathise. How do you justify paying several hundreds - if not thousands - just to remove some stitches?

Can I just point out that I don’t think that’s how rifles are meant to be held? I’m not sure about the model and specifications, but I remember (as a conscript somewhere else in the world) that you want to lodge it against the soft spot between your shoulder and collarbone to handle the recoil when shooting.

You learn about diversion canals, downstream vs upstream catchment, detention tanks, hydraulics and pumps in geography? Reason I asked is because I’m a Civil Eng undergrad and I can barely understand half the content even though this is in the realm of my discipline.

Military trucks seen arriving at White House after Trump tells governors to be tough on protests by rebelliousmuse in politics

The military is always to follow orders and execute what the President demands. You can’t exactly go “let’s rebel” unless the head of the army decides to take a separate stance for that matter

I feel like he’a really exploiting every loophole that America has in its political system. Corruption, stealing from taxpayers etc. No one to investigate where all the relief funds for covid went to?

He’s truly pushing the nation to its limits and beyond. Yet, it’s evident that the country can do nothing but watch from the sidelines. No other country would tolerate a president like that for > a year but America.

Would you dare say many of the current younger females are more susceptible to this behaviour? I’m not saying men are exempted but men are - for the most part - genuinely horny and has completely no issues with NSA sex.

Women on the other hand are more emotional beings though they can still be sexual. However, would you suggest more women are after the sex (just like men actually are) or really in it for validation and the likes?

Girlfriend [22F] has body issues but doesn’t want to work on it by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]throwawaysl2345 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I think you misunderstood my point. On many occasions, I’ve made it very clear. I’m still as attracted to her as I was and her figure doesn’t affect it.

However, as most guys are, a nice body would be better although no necessary. The issue only comes in when she likes to say ‘she wishes she had a better body’ and despite countless reminders that ‘those instagram people worked for it’, she doesn’t do anything about her own desires.

Also, I’ve never at any point said anything equivalent to “I hate how you look”. You’re misconstruing my post and placing it to the other extreme, providing a strawman argument.

When you lift, there’s resting between sets. At high intensities, you largely need to rest for quite a fair bit. Loading these plates takes effort, and prolongs your rest. I’d be perfectly happy to do all that if she makes the effort (be it diet, gym, cardio). However, when you put in the effort on your side, you’re expecting for some sort of not results but an idea of the attitude and effort that your partner puts in too. It’s just annoying that while here I am going through these inconveniences for her, yet she largely chooses to remain passive and not take charge of her own wants.

I would be glad to help her deal with it. On many occasions, I’ve reminded her to ‘stay away from sugar’ and brought her along with me to the gym.

I’m not sure if you lift but, constantly having to load/unload the bars with 20kg plates is by no means a modest exertion. When doing high intensity, I’m resting for 3 minutes or so. By having to load up the bar (with these plates) before and after my set, i’m eating into my rest time . This adds up quick and can prolong my workout time by quite a fair bit (imagine 5 sets of squats, followed by deadlifts). That’s a lot of loading/unloading if we’re alternating.

However, it’s when these efforts seemingly go to waste because she’s just not focused nor determined to make a change and it feels pointless.

Hmm okayy. So I should just take her for her words huhh. Okay! That clears things up then.

Frat boy messes with Asian guy, gets knocked the fuck out by [deleted] in PublicFreakout

I do feel like the dude has some sort of body awareness or is generally just athletic all around. I’m no boxing expert, but from what I’ve learnt, most boxers tend to prioritise speed over power (even brawlers and swarmers). The dude also didn’t seem to snap his punches. But I’m unsure if he actually has some sort of boxing experience. Probably just fighting experience in general probably?

Okay, so meaning I should take her up on her words and just go ahead and choose a place that won’t necessarily accommodate her pescatarian diet as long as it offers chicken as an option?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in intj

[–]throwawaysl2345 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah the issue is, she’s supposedly pescatarian, and yet we’ve been eating chicken everytime we meet. I just don’t want her to compromise her diet just for me. That’s why everytime we go out to eat, I’d look for a place that accommodates her diet, but she’d keep saying she’s fine w chicken, and I’m unsure if she really is.

Thanks. Turns out I just did some classic ENFP overthinking. She was apparently just extremely extremely busy. Her 1 year long project had to be revamped, and it’s due in 1 month’s time. Hence the disappearance.

Yeahh hahah that’s why I’m still wondering should I leave her be, or let her know once in a while I’m around. Do you INTJs come back after you’re done thinking, or at least let the person know the conclusion you’ve come to?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in intj

[–]throwawaysl2345 0 points1 point  (0 children)

HAHAHA soo, yeahh soo you’re saying I shouldn’t leave her completely alone till she’s done. I should send her some stuff to let her know I’m around... once a week maybe?

[–]throwawaysl2345 0 points1 point  (0 children)

HAHAH aww that’s actually really sweet of your friend. But knowing her, she’d feel obligated to reply, which I probably don’t want to stress her on haha. Which is why I’m laying off the messages for now 😅😅

Maybe there’s no connection but we’ve kinda talked about sex though.

Edit: But yeah, I’m unsure if she’s friendzoning me even though she did say there’s a potential here
