Stop describing your life in fucking buzzwords, start speaking like a normal human ffs. I'm not gonna pull out a dictionary of progressive words just to be able to parse what you're saying, which I know is "I don't fit in and it gives me anxiety uwu."

On top of that she’s a diaspora cunt: ‘Nigerian’ who admits she’s not actually from Nigeria but New York, and if she’s the child of legit Nigerian immigrants to the US chances are she’s not poor. Not that this stops her from hectoring everyone about how hard it is being Black and queer and that she’s the definitive authority on racism.

I've probably spent more time in Nigeria than she has. And I'm not Nigerian.

Anyway going through her post history she's Igbo, graduated from Cornell a couple months ago and accepted a job in London. Took me about 5 minutes to find her LinkedIn. Be careful what you share on Reddit.

RedReader and Infinity from f-droid.
ReadReader can be a bit janky sometimes. Haven't used it in a long time. Infinity started showing that you need to pay for the subscription to use it shorly after API changes but for some reason, it keeps working, at least for a few minutes (enough time to overdose on cringe).

I decided to check out Reddit after three years since my og account got banned, and I'm surprised how dead it is. A lot of the trending posts don't get as many upvotes and comments as they used to and even on big sub reddits the rate of new posts being made has slowed down considerably. I'm sure the blackout has a hand but the mass banning of users and subreddits for facetious reasons have also seem to greatly contribute to this. With apollo and other third party apps being banned, it is much harder for reddit mods to ban users on a mass scale. Maybe the site will recover because of this but it seems more likely that this is the beginning of the end of Reddit.

I got fired from the cat cafe​


I always seem to have issues with bosses at almost every job because I refuse to tolerate mistreatment.
The owner of the cat café started micro managing and treating me unfairly, so we decided to have a chat today abput the mistreatment. I told her how I felt and how I wasn't being treated fairly, and she went off about how it's all my fault. She refused to take any responsibility and basically put all of the blame on me for all of the issues we've been having. She then proceeded to fire me without giving me a written dismissal and she also couldn't actually provide a reason for firing me. That's illegal in my country, so I'm taking her to the labor board on Monday. I'm just gonna miss the kitty's so much :(

My gf got a tramp stamp tattoo, do I have to be okay with it?​


Context by saying, she was on a trip out with her friends to go to a beach somewhere down south. She had expressed to me that she would be getting a tattoo down there, which I was totally okay with considering it’s her body and she can do what she wants with it. She said that she would be getting a lower back tattoo as she called it, which I immediately said like a tramp stamp? She immediately got defensive saying it wasn’t and it was too high but it was in the exact spot to be called that. It says “Best Interest”, and at that moment we had been dating for 4 months. I said that I was very uncomfortable with that tattoo and what it said, and I also was very uncomfortable with where it was placed as well. I wouldn’t have minded if she had gotten it somewhere else like a forearm or a thigh tattoo or some other place. AITA for thinking that I shouldn’t be made to accept it or the fact that it could be a deal breaker for me?

My wife is leaving me for being bisexual​


My sexuality is something that I have struggled with my whole life. I've felt guilty since puberty and have tried to suppress it.. I grew up in a christian home and married a christian girl. even waited till marriage to have sex. I'm truly in love with my wife and I can't live without her. The other night it was on my heart very heavy and I told her. She just sat silently and held me as I cried for a little while and comforted me. The next day she tells that she doesn't see me in the same light anymore and wants a divorce. I felt sick to my stomach and regretted ever telling her.. yesterday I got a call from the head priest at our church and he told me that she had confided in him about me being bisexual. I couldn't listen to it any longer and I just hung up. I've been an emotional mess since.. I've been drinking a lot and suicide is on my mind very heavily. It's out there in the open and if it reaches certain ears (like my family) I will lose everything. I've lost the love of my life already and now everything is going downhill with it. I want my wife back and I don't want this spread. What can I do?
EDIT: For the ones that are asking why I felt the need to tell her, it was mostly about feeling guilty of withholding information from her and I thought she deserved to know. Also, I've never told anyone in my life and I just wanted the person I'm closest with to know because I was tired of carrying it alone. Some are saying that it might make her feel like I want to have sex with men or cheat and I can understand why if that crossed her mind when I told her.. but that had nothing to do with it. I want to spend the rest of my life with this woman and there is no one else specifically that I desire.

AITA for refusing to allow a photo of my future MIL's miscarriages at my wedding?​


Throwaway because this is already enough of a mess. TW: miscarriage/stillbirth.
I (26f) am planning my wedding to my fiance (27m) in a few months. Everything is going great and I love him so much. I can't wait to spend my life with him. He loves my family, and I, for the most part, love his.
A bit of background, fiance has a much older brother. While my future MIL was pregnant three times in between them, all of them resulted in late miscarriages and stillbirths. As a result, MIL put all of her motherly love and attention on fiance. He had never tried a fruit or vegetable before I met him because his parents never made him when he was young and he had grown up assuming they were gross. (I got him to try some and he loves them now.)
As we were planning our guest list, we consulted our families about which, and how many, relatives we should invite. Future MIL asked that we "invite" fiance's dead brother and sisters. When we asked what she meant, she wanted us to put up a framed photo of the dead babies in the pews at our wedding ceremony, and then save them seats at our reception.
I was horrified. First of all, we are trying to have a fairly small wedding to start with, and a beautiful, intimate venue. We can only have seats for 30-50 people, and I would like these places to be for our friends and family, not people who have never met either of us because they are dead. Fiance agrees that three of 50 seats reserved for dead people is too many. He suggested we compromise and just let MIL put up all three photos in one seat.
Personally, I think it's gross and weird to include any of them. We're starting our lives together. We want to have a family and it almost seems like a bad omen, but it means a lot to her and it's a fairly small ask. Fiance's parents are paying for 75% of our wedding, and this is the only request she's had. So AITA for still refusing?

The main reason I know trans people are real is because I don’t believe anyone would ever voluntarily become a woman.​


I’m an Aromantic asexual guy. I think I’m as close as it’s possible to get to an objective view of human sexuality, since it doesn’t really happen to me.
I also don’t have any sort of attachment to my gender identity. I don’t feel any sort of pressure to be masculine, whatever that means. I have hair down past my shoulders and I’m not bothered when I get mistaken for a woman. This is just the meat suit I was given. I wash it, feed it, and take it for walks and it makes minimal demands of my time.
But even I can plainly see that being a woman is MUCH more difficult than being a man. I see it every day at work, when customers make weird comments at my female coworkers. Recently a guy invited one of them to a pool party he was throwing since she was getting off work soon. She said “That sounds fun!” He then told her that she had to go in naked.
Every single woman I know has at least a handful of stories of being followed or stalked by creepy guys who can’t take no for an answer. My dad broke into my mother’s house after the divorce.
Plus, the added reproductive health responsibilities of a female body, for which I have no equivalent. My body is just less work to take care of.
I’m a 30 year old virgin who’s never been in a relationship, because I don’t fall in love. Never even had a crush. Nobody acts all weird about it or tries to “fix” me, because I’m a man. Nobody tells me to smile more or tries to become “friends” with me just because they want to fuck me. There’s no societal pressure to put on makeup. I go to movies and concerts alone, and I don’t feel unsafe. Male privilege is extremely real. It kinda only exists because of how awful most men are.
So, the only reason anybody would ever become a woman is if, in fact, you were one all along. And you need to bring your body into line with your brain’s image of it so that you can stop feeling so terrible. It’s a condition, and the treatment for it is to transition. Nobody chooses to be trans. (I am not trans, and this is just my best understanding.)
I’ve even read that some trans people will get phantom limb syndrome for body parts they’ve never even had.

When redditors breed... "eat the walls" do you think she meant the baby was taking paint chips off the walls and then eating it? The best part of the comments is how everyone is calling her shit smearing, paint chip eating kid a genius.

Im so tired. I can’t do this anymore.​


LONG POST TLDR: I need a fucking break from my daughter before I go insane. Also doctors kinda suck. (No hate to any doctors out there)
So my daughter is 6. She is in therapy but it’s not really helping anything. It all started when she was 2. She would literally eat the walls, dig in her diapers, smear poop everywhere. We ended up having to get her a special onesie that zipped and buttoned on the back so that she couldn’t get into her diapers. She figured out how to get out of it. We got her a new one that didn’t stretch so she couldn’t get out of it. She ripped it apart at the crotch. In the end I had to get a pattern and see my own onesie for her out of a heavy fabric. That finally worked.
Then she moved onto other things. She got her first big girl bed at around 3. She tore it apart. Like somehow took out the Alan screws and took the entire bed apart while we were asleep. She’s always been able to do things like this. I still to this day have no clue how. Maybe she wiggled the bed until the screws were loose? So we put it back together with locktite. Still got it apart. So never mind. Just a mattress then. She tore into it. There was mattress everywhere. She has toys in her room to keep her occupied when or if she wakes up at night. Doesn’t give a shit about them. Would rather destroy everything in sight.
At 4 we finally got her potty trained. It was really hard and exhausting work. But we did it. This is when she started peeing in the floor (on carpet). We rent this house so I can’t take the carpet up. As much as I wish I could. So instead we go potty before bed and she has a potty in her room. She refuses to use it. She prefers to just piss on the floor and cover it with her pillows. So every single morning I am cleaning the carpet and washing pillows.
She has a gate on her room because she left the house in the middle of the night and walked all the way to the park. Even with child safety handles, extra locks, up high. She won’t stay in the house. Well she figured out how to open the gate. Okay I’ll fix it. Figures it out again. Okay I’ll change something (duct tape over the button so you have to put your finger under the tape to slide the gate open) she kicks it down. Okay screws to hold it in place. She climbs over it. Falls and hurts herself. Okay another gate over that one. Finally some peace. Back to destroying things. I figure she’s not getting enough stimulus while she’s in there at night. More toys. Sensory things. Things she usually loves. Nope she would rather eat her entire window sill. Put the dresser in front of it. She tears the entire siding off the dresser. At this point I’m crying everyday. Pulling my hair out and asking all of the powers at be what exactly I did to deserve this.
We finally get her in therapy. It was about a year wait with the only people who take our insurance. We start and things seem good. But her therapist doesn’t seem to care about these behaviors. “They’re normal. All kids do this.” I don’t think all kids destroy everything in sight just for the fun of it. But whatever you are the therapist not me. She says we need to work on our parent/child relationship and instead of punishing the bad behavior we should reward the good. I tell her we have tried this multiple times. She says try again. We do. Doesn’t work at home. Only works with the therapist. She says “look! She’s all better!” I tell her it’s only here she acts like that. Okay so then we have to work on YOU not her. But I have done everything in the book. I’ve tried everything. Gentle parenting, punishment parenting, rewards, you name it I’ve probably tried. Nothing works. She remains exactly how she is. And it’s driving me insane. I ask about some kind of diagnosis or spectrum disorder. Maybe even a medication for anxiety (I’ll get to that in a bit) and her therapist says there is absolutely nothing wrong with her. She is just having trouble getting settled in.
My daughter is an angel when we aren’t home. She’s a blessing at school. Everyone loves her and has absolutely zero problems out of her. Until she comes home and everything she had pent up during the day all comes out. She kicks and screams and hits and throws things everywhere. And there’s nothing I can do about it. Time outs don’t phase her. Busting her butt doesn’t phase her. Rewards for good behavior don’t phase her. She just doesn’t care about anything at all. Except getting her way. Which she only gets when she is being good. But telling her that immediately starts a tantrum. I don’t wanna blow up on her so I walk away and she ends up getting to destroy the house. I lock myself in the bathroom and cry. I’ve cried so much.
Last year she had some constipation and we had to give her laxatives and a suppository. Obviously it probably hurt when it came out but now she is GENUINELY terrified to go poop. I’ve talked to her doctors. We have gotten x-rays. She is back up all the way to her intestines. Her whole colon. Her doctor put her on mirilax and suppositories. But every single time she has to poop she will hold it in as much as she can. We put her on the potty every 10 minutes “just to try” because that’s what they told us to do. Every time there is a battle. Screaming bloody murder like we are forcing her to jump off a building or something. Then when the poop does come she goes stick straight on the potty and clenches so hard she makes herself gag. She has made herself throw up twice from how hard she is clenching to keep her poop inside. I brought this up with her doctor. He’s just like “just keep doing what I told you”. Thanks. So much help. Now she won’t eat. Because eating “makes more poop”
I am at my wits end here. With the tantrums, destroying things, cleaning carpets and bedding, having to fight her to poop. When I say I am tired I mean it. I have my own therapist and I have told her that if I could just sleep for the next 10 years that would be fine. I would rather deal with a shitty mean teenager than this. Because at least they MIGHT listen to what I have to say. My therapist says I need a break. But we live about 800 miles away from ALL of our family. No date nights. No daycare. Nothing. And so I cry in the locked bathroom and get so angry and frustrated that I think about self harm. My therapist knows this. And I have a history with it. I’m on medication and do therapy every week but honestly my daughter makes me want to off myself. Because then I wouldn’t have to do this everyday. But then I think about it and I DEFINITELY have things to live for. I love the other aspects of my life. And I DONT WANT to die. I just want to be out of this horrible phase. I want this to be over. I want to be able to take her to ballet or gymnastics and not worry. I want to be able to take her to see friends and not worry. Because yeah she’s great outside of the house. Until she isn’t. I just need help. I need a break. I’m beyond done with all of this. I don’t know what to do anymore. I wasnt prepared for this.

"Haha, spoodermen is geeeey - give karme pls "

Reddit is plagued. Its too retarded to live, to autistic to die.

It reminds me of those autistic teenage girls who cut themselves for attention, yet they go to therapy and post motivational shit like the life they have is an struggle for survival (sent from Iphone 10).

Kill a redditor. Serve humanity. Kill a redditor.

My question is, has she tried locking the kid in the kids bedroom at night?
I see locks being mentioned, but I assume it is one that can be opened up from the kids side. You can easily get one of these up on the other side, she needs to use a key. or one those bike locks with something on the wall to attach it into.

I mean they had to know this was going to happen right? Two reddit autists breeding and I'm assuming they're in their late 30s or early 40s because reddit users bizarrely think women having kids in their 20s is pedophilia for some reason.

She was sensible enough to make a throwaway for this but thats very likely. Without having anything else to go by the default is to assume a redditor to be a fat dumpy middle aged genderblob.

ReVanced (Vanced succesor) has a way to patch some Reddit apps (Boost for example).
Reddit imposed a limit for apps so, why not create your own? GlowieAppTest to the rescue! only used by 1 user and well within the limits.
All the change needed is a string, and ReVanced takes care of it, just give it your app string and install.

If any of this is even true it sounds like she’s just a terrible neglectful parent if your child is doing all this crazy shit “at night” you don’t have a baby monitor with sound and video set up so you can stop them? How long are you leaving this kid locked up in a room alone? I wonder how many happy pills mom is on. Jesus Christ no wonder they continue to act out. Then when you are paying attention to her you punish her and that’s basically all she sees you as is a neglectful angry violent person thus the cycle continues. but what really solidifies that this is a problem with the parent and not the child is that the child acts completely normal everywhere but at home. It really makes you wonder if there is some kind of abuse going on. Also no mention of of a father anywhere in that story. Did they think having a kid would be like having a pet you could just ignore for hours at a time? I recommend less being a bad mother and more fish heads.
