Yeah, it also changes all the advice from "get a spine and cut her off" to "get her to take the medication because this might actually be recoverable"

Mx. posted:AITA for refusing to leave my parking spot and blocking traffic? On the one hand, this is the same impulse that causes people to go precisely the speed limit in the passing lane, and OP needs to kill the cop in their brain. Good on OP for not allowing themselves to be rushed, but you don't need to be the parking lot police. On the other hand, I try to stay 5mph above the speed limit and I hate parking vultures so I'm quite tempted to enumerate the reasons it's not the same.

Maybe the relationship isn't recoverable, but preventing someone's life being severely hosed up by poor mental health - if you're able to - might not be a bad thing. That said, without insight on the part of the wife, it's gonna be an uphill battle.

Eh I don't know, just seems an rear end in a top hat move to abandon a spouse so quickly because of a treatable/manageable illness? He would be perfectly justified in leaving her if this has been going on for some time and she has consistently rejected treatment, but he does say that she's only been diagnosed "recently" (perhaps less than 6 months ago). The situation he found himself in obviously sucks. It sucks to be in a relationship with someone who's going through a major chronic illness, whether physical or mental. If you can't take the strain, you can't take the strain, but I think we can all agree that the amount of time and effort you spend trying to accommodate your SO's illness matters, morally.

According to the post there was another open parking spot slightly further down and the other car was for some reason not going for it and waiting for OP to leave. If that's true she wasn't even blocking anything and it's all on the other car

cyberia posted:I truly do not understand the preoccupation people have with needing baby names to be 'beautiful' or 'unique'. Do they think their own names are beautiful? Have they every truly thought any name was beautiful before someone on tiktok told them to call their daughter C*ntley? Will they give a poo poo how beautiful and unique their kid's name is when they actually have to deal with the flesh and blood reality of raising a human infant? Just give your kid a simple, utilitarian name that is easy to spell and isn't going to become an albatross around their neck. it's the mormons breaching containment mormon culture disempowers women from leading, but what a goodly lds woman IS allowed to do is influence--so you get this slew of perky lifestyle influencers and mommy vloggers working to present a curated view of a perfect life, and part of that perfect life is naming your kid something 'beautiful and unique'. there's a layer of social navigation to this--you don't want to step on any toes within your community, because it's seen as a grave insult to each other for both you and your friend, acquaintance, neighbor, whatever, to both have a kid with a normal rear end name like emily or catherine. so to avoid slighting your fellow lds woman, you crank the name through the pasta extruder a few good turns and now little emileigh pays the price. and unfortunately, a lot of these accounts fly under the radar. if you mindlessly scroll any of your social medias of choice without a critical eye for mormon-spotting, you can find yourself unwittingly flushed into the algorithm's 'oh, you enjoy watching the mormon ladies' content, ok, up next is brittaneigh' pipeline and suddenly it seems good and fun and normal to burden your very own freshly birthed infant with a name like cuntley. great name for a cat, though. like a really mean tortoiseshell? outstanding. I'd give that cat a full human name just to gently caress with my vet a little more. they already have to see Paisley Vera Bradley-Bagg yearly. bringing in a little Cuntley McKayleigh Vasseur or something would inflict a damage multiplier on the vet.

I think weird names are an attempt to claim some kind individual identity for the child, based on the instinctive understanding that there’s no culture to connect to, no great grandfather who set the family up through his hard work to name the kid after, no meaningful cultural identity we all draw from. We’re all atomized subjects unconnected to larger institutions or cultural formations that exist outside of transactional forms. I’m a broken record on this, but yeah, capitalism is why we have kids with name sprawl.

The parking lot woman did nothing wrong. I also live in rural America, and often times those people who wait for your good spot also block your ability to back out easily. They do this so no one else can try to also sneak in. But if you are waiting for my spot and you are blocking any part of the space I need to safely back out, you are going to be waiting awhile. This really really happens a lot. To the point I just default to a further space even if a good space is available since I need the exercise anyway.

I do the same thing and I have watched them follow me to my car crawling down the entire length of the parking lot at 3-4 mph, occasionally even to the point of passing up currently open spaces, so that they can wait for me to leave my space at the other end of the parking lot. Do they understand something we don't? Does taking someone's just-vacated parking spot give you power over them like knowing their true name?

mystes posted:But it sounds like she's refusing treatment? Yep, OP does say that she's been diagnosed recently and refused medication. We don't know how recent "recent" is, but it matters morally. Was it three weeks ago, and she's refused to accept the diagnosis and treatment since? People need time to come to terms with something like that, especially someone who is mentally ill. Was it three years ago? Yeah no, cut your losses and run. Where that line lies will differ for each person, obviously. I think we're so used to seeing people taking the worst kind of abuse lying down for years, that we sometimes err in the other direction and tell people to run at the first sign of inconvenience.

Also Jennifer, when I say you need at least 40 references, I meant published work. You are not allowed to list the your own interviews in your reference list. We need to talk. But anyway, going through her reference list does lead me to this book: https://www.routledge.com/Perspectives-on-Latter-day-Saint-Names-and-Naming-Names-Identity-and/Oaks-Baltes-Minson/p/book/9781032350431

From the book I linked earlier: It does seem like religious stay at home mothers are very well represented on social media, probably for the reasons comforthawk is saying, but that's still different than specifically showing that this naming trend was started by mormons or derived from mormon culture. That's not to say that I don't think it's impossible or implausible; it just requires evidence, and saying that Mormons often uses unique names is not evidence of that. mystes fucked around with this message at 18:26 on Mar 1, 2024 |
