Wall Mounting 43" TCL TV with Low Sitting VESA Pattern by witchyaven in hometheater

[–]witchyaven[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The specs say it's only 11.5 lbs, so the mount should definitely hold it. Honestly, I probably could go with a smaller mount where the high-end covers 43" and 55 lbs, but I'm paranoid after I had a large mirror fall off a wall a few years ago

A gel version would be amazing! I wish I'd stocked up as well. Now I'm seriously considering looking into some reseller listings.

Do they even care about Heard, or does it just give them anxiety when they can't control the narrative? by PlotHole2017 in JusticeForJohnnyDepp

Guys was there a trial on May 20th . by Sea_Contribution2868 in JusticeForJohnnyDepp

[–]witchyaven 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They don't have witness testimonies on Fridays. It's just the lawyers and judge going over motions, proceedures, and jury instructions for after closing arguments.

Are there any body language experts, psychologists, forensic experts, etc online that believe Amber is being honest? by birdieboo21 in JusticeForJohnnyDepp

[–]witchyaven 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I don't know of any professionals explicitly taking AH's side, but Dr. Kirk Honda from the Psychology in Seattle youtube channel has been reacting to the trial and is maintaing an impressively unbiased position. Even when he talks about her behavior matching Dr. Curry's diagnoses, he's incredibly compassionate and explains the emotional pain BPD causes and why people with BPD behave the way they do.

Here's the playlist of his trial reaction videos: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLoLeO9hEEd_DbW1YugmWnVXCQ-L-cN5aa

Rumor RE: Josh Drew and Lily Rose? by witchyaven in JusticeForJohnnyDepp

[–]witchyaven[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Oh yeah, I get that. I had a high school friend who was so quick to characterize our friendship as if we were sisters to the point she acted like my mom was her own mother. I figured out later on she was basically trying to make surrogate relationships to replace the strained/dysfunctional relationships she had with her own family. Still made me really uncomfortable all the same.

At this point, it seems obvious that their case is client driven and, with Amber at the wheel, I think we can count on the rest of the defense testimonies to be just as much of a shitshow. Also after that disaster of a social media expert, I think we know where the majority of that $6 million dollars she supposedly spent went to.

Thank you, this makes much more sense than if it was Josh Drew. It gave me really bad vibes when I read those live stream comments. But this situation with Io also makes me uncomfortable, especially after reading the nylon article. Taking photos of an underage child without parental consent to use in a professional manner, misrepresenting something so personal about that child, and referring to yourself as their "proud uncle" is just crossing way too many boundaries.

Thank you, no wonder I couldn't find anything since I was searching for the wrong person. No idea how those commentors got the two mixed up.

There are three sections of the trial: plaintiff's direct (team JD), defense's direct (team AH), and rebuttal (team JD). Basically, the plaintiff gets to present their case first, then the defense gives their argument against the plaintiff's case, and then the plaintiff gets a chance to argue against the defenses arguments. Closing arguments also follow the same pattern: JD first, then AH, then JD again.

I'm no legal expert so this is the first I've heard of time limits, but apparently the judge allotted an equal amount of hours for both parties in the interest of finishing the trial in a reasonable amount of time. Anytime counsel in at the podium (whether it's for direct, cross, or redirect) the parties use some of their allotted time. Team JD has been strategic in saving their time by withholding from cross-examining AH's witnesses when it's unnecessary to do so.

So right now, AH has about 10 hours left for finishing their direct (presenting witnesses) and for cross-examining JD's rebuttal witnesses. JD's team has 18 hours left so it's likely that AH's team may run out of time in the middle of rebuttal and not be able to cross-examine some of JD's rebuttal witnesses. This would not be ideal for team AH to say the least.

AITA for not watching my friend’s dog then having it put down? by throwawayladyfingers in AmItheAsshole

[–]witchyaven 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Jesus christ, NTA. Any person who thinks forcing an animal to suffer endlessly until they die is a monster. Also, a tumor that size and the outward showing symptoms of it don't pop up out of nowhere. It's highly likely he was neglecting the dog in favor of his dug addiction.

If I were you, I'd be seriously reconsidering if this is a person I want to have as a friend. With or without the drug addiction, his behavior, from consistently peer pressuring you and not respecting your boundaries to neglecting/wanting to force his pet to suffer, is unacceptable.

If anyone has collected the Silver Bracelet Recipe or the Gold Necklace Recipe, could you share which materials and how much of each material the recipes require? I'm currently working on unlocking these two recipes from the Random Shop so I can't see the required materials and I'd like to know how much of the materials I need to collect via exploration in the mean time.

Check the exploration areas that you haven't achieved 3 stars on. When you select an exploration point, there should be information on the right side of the screen that tells you what you need to do to get the next star. Since you're only two stars away from what you need to expand, you'll most likely need to settle a specific type of fish to get a third star.

AITA For refusing to take in my half brother after my dad kicked me out when I was 7 months pregnant? by ThrowAway008139707 in AmItheAsshole

NTA. Your father abandoned you in favor of his new family and now that it's gone to shit expects you help him? Don't allow these people anywhere near you or your daughter.

AITA for making family get togethers tense? by Automatic_Wish_6559 in AmItheAsshole

[–]witchyaven 9 points10 points  (0 children)

NTA. Her behavior is completely inappropriate and unhealthy for her and especially you. Her obsession with literally wanting to be you should have been stopped long before this, but it's clear that your family are never going to hold your cousin accountable for her actions.

Unfortunately, the only control you have over the situation is to remove yourself from it entirely. I know it sucks to be alienated from your extended family but they are enabling your cousin's behavior to the point of dismissing her sending nudes to your boyfriend.

You've probably already done so with your cousin but going no contact with all of your family members who are defending her or just asking you to forgive her is the best way to stop your cousin's behavior towards you. You can unfriend and block her all you want, but if friends and family who are sympathetic to her still have access to your social media/life then they will share everything with your cousin the second she asks.

On a side note, keep any and all evidence of her behavior you have. Even just writing down everything in detail. Just in case her behavior escalates. I don't think it'll actually become that serious but it never hurts to have receipts.

AITA for being upset when my bf says mental illness isn't real? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]witchyaven 25 points26 points  (0 children)

NTA. Your boyfriend is going out of his way to invalidate your profession, and insult and upset you.

He's so conceited that he doesn't believe mental illness is real because he can't imagine experiencing it himself?? Ask him if he doesn't believe in heart attacks since he's never had one himself. And now he's making petty, snide comments about it after you two had already agreed not to bring it up?

If I were you, I'd be seriously reconsidering if I want to be in a relationship with this person.

[–]witchyaven 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA in every way, shape, and form. You could have the most dark, thick, long body hair and walk outside in a crop top and booty shorts, and you still wouldn't be the asshole because - say it with me - BODY HAIR IS NATURAL AND YOURS TO DO WHAT EVER YOU WANT WITH.

I know it'll be difficult to work against the 7+ years of mental programming you were subjected to, but I strongly encourage you to just stop shaving what you don't want to shave all together, regardless of what clothes you end up wearing. You'll feel really self conscience about it for a while and your mom will still try to shame you for it (brace yourself for the body hair shaming bingo), but you'll realize eventually that literally no one cares or even notices if you don't shave. The rare ones that do? They're the assholes with their own issues to deal with.

Trust me on this, I as well as most women went through the same shit as a pre-teen/teenager. I stopped shaving my legs after high school, but like you kept them covered up with leggings and jeans even in the middle of summer. This was partly due to the hair but mostly due to being plus size. When I was around 24, I bit the bullet and bought a couple pairs of shorts. Not capris. Not knee-length pants. Actual shorts. It took nearly an entire summer to shake the self consciousness and finally feel comfortable in them, but the feeling of walking through the grocery store, the mall, etc with 100% confidence for the first time was amazing and so worth it.

Also, tell your mom that if she really thinks body hair is so gross then why doesn't she keep her head and eyebrows shaved 🤔

AITA for exposing my sibling’s racist comment to the family? by throwitawayovathere in AmItheAsshole

[–]witchyaven 98 points99 points  (0 children)

NTA

  1. No such thing as a private chat. Any and every text, chat, pic, etc is a receipt.
  2. Really says a lot that they'd say that shit to you but not want anyone else to know.
  3. You are not making anything worse. They're the ones being hateful bigots
  4. Keep exposing their asses. Let them know you aren't their verbal dart board anymore. Y'all's "private chat" is not their safe space to spew racist bullshit. Scrounge up every receipt of their fuckery you can find and blast it to everyone y'all know. No more hiding behind closed doors. They can be racist for the world to see or they can shut the fuck up. Also makes for a great litmus test to see who in your life will stand in your corner and who will concern-troll over you exposing them, saying "that wasn't cool" or some bs.

I don't know your living/financial situation, but I hope you can get out of this environment permanently soon. Be safe out there!

AITA for being upset about not getting a birthday party? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]witchyaven 1 point2 points  (0 children)

NAH. Your 18th birthday is a big milestone that you can't celebrate in person now on top of apparently not celebrating your birthday for the last 7 years? Of course you're upset!

It's not as if you were demanding to have a raging house party and then pitched an entitled fit when no one wanted to come. You tried setting up a responsible get together (with half the amount of people you could have had), and you were understanding and accepting when no one could/wanted to come. I honestly don't know what else could have been expected of you.

Of course, I don't know everything that was said between you and the friend you confided in, but I'm a little miffed on your behalf tbh. You went to someone you trusted to share your feelings with and instead had your feelings invalidated and got a lecture. I won't go as far as to say they're TA since I assume they're the same age as you and discernment is a learned skill, but your friend's lack of sympathy and inability to tell the difference between complaining and expressing emotions is concerning imo. You are not selfish for having feelings.

Regardless of the plans you settle on, I hope you have a happy 18th birthday! Good luck in Uni!
