Also for stupid cat chat my fiancee's cat is incapable of cleaning herself properly and instead "grooms" by absolutely soaking herself in her own spit to the point where we've both said "Link why are you soaking wet" on more than occasion within recent memory. She also can't figure out doors consistently and likes to get behind the door in an attempt to leave a room.

I have never seen the phrase "don't treat me like a child/dog" uttered by a person who has done anything to warrant being treated like an adult.

I'm aware there's plenty of scenarios where it is a valid complaint, but it only ever seems to be said by manchildren.

Now that I think about it I've only heard it said to me when I was saying something to the tune of "I get you're unreliable but could you at least stop lying?".

Autistic child abuse dad seems to really hate Rust for some reason. Also, in the comments, he hates C compilers. He just really hates programming.

It's also a tried and true abuse tactic. Treat your kid like poo poo, watch them have a meltdown, and then use that as an excuse to abuse them further. Works really good on disabled kids because then you have a bunch of people patting you on the back for doing the hard work of raising a disabled kid.

The autistic child abuse dad also seems to think computers emit some kind of Harm Rays. Narrows it down to troll or extremely stupid.

Tact is a skill and it's one this dad has neglected to teach. Kid needs to learn how and when to be blunt. Honesty is a positive trait but that has to be balanced vs upsetting people for no reason.

This is something I had to learn myself. I use a set of metrics like:
-Does my opinion actually matter to the person I'm taking to?
-Does the thing in question actually matter? Are there actual consequences on the line?
-If they get upset at my opinion will I want to try and take it back? Is my opinion important enough to upset people over?
-Is there anything that can be done one way or another?
-Would I feel better having shared my honest opinion, or would I feel better from having backed people up and supported them?
-Is there an obvious truth that is being intentionally overlooked out of politeness?


Someone shows you their newborn baby. There were complications and it's seriously kind of messed-up looking. Should you be honest?

No
You liking the baby's appearance or not is irrelevant, it's not even your baby
Nobody had or has any control over how the baby looks, and if they did, this was probably the best they could do
Are you a pediatric plastic surgeon? No? You can't help, shut up
The parents know the baby looks funny no one gains anything by you saying it
You could have backed up your friends and made them feel a tiny bit better about a bad situation but instead you upset them, for no benefit to anyone

This is utter incoherent nonsense and it should be taught to nobody. If you follow a flowchart like this, you will come across like you're following a flowchart.

AITA For not punishing my autistic son when he asks people if they want him lie?

And just in case it wasn't clear: Tact is the wrong move here. Like it almost always is, but that'll get super deep in the weeds of how social hierarchies work, so I shall pass.

The name's ridiculous, and the kid's being set up to do a power play between the parents, as can be seen from the brother's insistence on punishment.

You're going to ask an autistic kid a question like that? You're looking to get offended and will find a reason. Morton's fork, all options end up at "how horrible YOUR child is".

Leaving aside the whole "age disproportion :sever: this instant" you cannot fix somebody else's weight. Boyfriend has decided that he's not going to obey his doctor's advice, time to drop it. And him.

Whining about "bad foods" when the problem looks a fuckload more like mental health is so 22y dumb. The 41y dating a 22y can't be surprised she's a child though. It's such a firm ESH it's impressive.

It doesn't look like mental health, it looks like "I know I need to do stuff, but effort, so you make me do it but I'll blame you for nagging." Which is a common enough pattern.

That kind of bouncing around? That ain't right. It needs a doctor to manage it, not someone 22y and well out of their depth. Especially not with ideas that misguided about weight loss and health.

And the 22y stressing out that badly over someone else's health and making long term plans like they have speaks volumes, but it's entirely in semaphore.

My understanding is that it’s generally not possible to have a perfect accent unless you learn a language very young or spend an incredible portion of your life totally immersed though.

Around 80% of Finns can't get the accent working perfectly, the rules are incredibly complicated and arcane.

The people who can (hi!) meanwhile tend to just shitpost about it being completely loving meaningless unless you want to be a snob, and concentrate on getting the rules wrong in sbuttle ways.
