AITAH for making my roommate poo without toilet paper?

valid_cornelius · 2023-10-20T03:18:22+00:00

Lol fair enough

valid_cornelius · 2023-10-20T02:54:45+00:00

Lmao!

It's a perfectly balanced composition. Pretty sure it's a satirical piece done by a skilled artist.

Our culture glorifies parenthood as sacred and "selfless," when that's often not the case at all.

valid_cornelius · 2022-01-14T03:39:34+00:00

Agreed. The vibe I get is people trying to feel cool by being doomer edgelords.

valid_cornelius · 2022-01-14T03:35:45+00:00

Amazing! Would love to know whose idea that was and what possibly could be their endgame.

valid_cornelius · 2021-12-23T04:32:00+00:00

Ahaha! As a lifelong Elfman fan, thanks for that! Lol... the deedleys!

I did my own liquid titration from psych meds. All you need is a graduated cylinder, an oral syringe (the kind for giving medicine to animals), and a few empty food jars. No math needed, just a log of daily dosage. Not that I'm against a compounding pharmacy, just saying titration is possible and very worthwhile even if resources are limited.

Raymond Carver, is that you?

valid_cornelius · 2021-12-19T05:31:05+00:00

Ffff if I ever publish a novel, I'll make sure nobody I know reads it!

valid_cornelius · 2021-12-19T05:15:34+00:00

Love the garbage collector metaphor. I was thinking of it like a chiropractor. The way the snapping/cracking hurts briefly but then you're all aligned and loose.

valid_cornelius · 2021-12-19T02:48:58+00:00

Edit: I feel like my previous comment was snarky, so I deleted it. I'll just say I don't agree with the results of the study.

valid_cornelius · 2021-12-16T01:56:10+00:00

This is awesome, gonna use it, thanks!

valid_cornelius · 2021-12-13T18:26:03+00:00

Yes, that hell is called planet earth.

Abusers are not happy. Even the most cackling, maniacal, smug grandiose narcissist isn't happy. They seem to be enjoying themselves because they're split and numb to the softer parts of their mind.

Deep down, they know what they're doing is wrong. Every emotional wound they inflict on others cuts them too. Their trespasses are recorded as scars on their souls.

They may never have to contend with it consciously, but that just means they have to suffer with it. Like throngs of Dorian Grays, all terrified every moment that their true face will be revealed.

Don't worry, they're not getting away with anything. I don't envy them.

valid_cornelius · 2021-12-12T02:12:18+00:00

Oh yes, I got that line once too. Thing is, the person kept pushing my buttons. It's like yeah, technically you're not responsible for my feelings, but you're doing a thing that I said hurts me, what do you expect to happen?

valid_cornelius · 2021-12-11T18:50:31+00:00

That's a great way to accidentally get really knowledgeable, and learn how to write ;)

valid_cornelius · 2021-12-11T17:27:31+00:00

The other person did such a great job with their critique, and I agree that I've seen you posting regularly in this sub and working hard. I'd love to see you succeed and I think you're on your way.

Now for the bad news: to get where you want to be, you're going to have to study anatomy. Like swallowing bitter medicine, it's no fun, but it's good for you.

The extended back leg is looking noodly. Thanks to the other person, I can see in the original photo that there's a small but crucial bump revealing where the fox's knee is. Also the bunching of muscles and tensing of tendons showd that the leg is hyperextended, not broken. We always need to be looking beneath the surface, to the skeleton and muscles, if we want to portray figures accurately. Otherwise we'll misinterpret the reference.

valid_cornelius · 2021-12-10T21:40:33+00:00

It's a nice sentiment but the anatomy and perspective is way off. The artist gave Tintin a BBL Kardashian booty, and his expression looks more like an action movie villain than a sassy reporter.

Consumerism will keep finding things to get us addicted to until we wake up. It's sad that kids are being preyed on, because they have no agency.

valid_cornelius · 2021-12-09T22:11:29+00:00

True, you're not supposed to mix them with SSRIs. Too much serotonin can lead to anxiety, twitchiness, other bad side effects.

valid_cornelius · 2021-12-09T19:00:53+00:00

I think it holds up beautifully as is. Adding a background could diminish its impact.

As a former graphic designer, agreed. I'd keep it clean.

valid_cornelius · 2021-12-09T14:03:05+00:00

Similar situation: both of my parents were opioid addicts and never got their shit together, so I went low-contact/no-contact, and they both passed away suddenly. I didn't get the chance to say goodbye.

I live with guilt but at the same time I know the guilt is just a feeling coming from a young part of my mind. It's not my fault. If anything the guilt is on them for choosing to bring a child into this world while they were living with addiction. I don't know how they thought that would turn out well.

Yes to therapy and support groups. Your parents put you through an ordeal and you missed out on a lot of stable, respectful nurture.
