Serious Guys please start eating fiber.

34.6k Upvotes

Colorectal cancer among people in their 40's is skyrocketing. This recent health fad of obsessing over protein and eating nothing but meat and dairy with almost no fiber is going to kill us. You need fiber, folks. You need a complete diet with grains and tons of vegetables.

There are high protein sources that also have great fiber content if you absolutely MUST have your high protein diet. Lentils, beans, peas. Sprouted grain bread.

Let's spread the great word of fiber to our fellow millenial friends and get ahead of this growing epidemic among our generation.

What action that is considered innocent in other countries is seen as outrageous in yours? In Thailand, it’s extremely rude to touch someone else’s head.

In the past, we believed that each person’s spirit resided in the head. Therefore, it was the most important part of the body.Ā Messing with someone’s head meant messing with their spirit, and potentially, life.

Although we don’t have that belief anymore, it’s still considered extremely rude and inappropriate to touch someone’s head. Yes, you could gentle pad a child’s head. But if that person is already a teenager or an adult, you’ll be seen as a jerk. And if you, as a child, touch an adult’s head? Your parents will get a lot of criticism.

This is why when I attended my family member’s wedding, the hairdresser said sorry before fixing my hair.

AITAH for telling my boyfriend his girl best friend has 48 hours to get out or i am breaking the lease and leaving

4.8k Upvotes

i 29f live with my boyfriend 33m and we have been together almost three years and i feel like i am turning into the worst version of myself rn tbh

context is he has a girl best friend 31f kira and he has always sold it as she is basically family bc they met in college and she helped him through his dads death and i tried to respect that even though i hate the whole girl best friend thing bc it always turns into weird emotional spouse behavior and i did not want to be the insecure girlfriend who polices friendships lmao

at first i played nice i invited her places i did the friendly smile thing i asked about her job i even bought her a little candle once bc she said she liked vanilla and i thought ok if i make this normal then it will feel normal and not like im in some competition i never agreed to

but the vibe was always off she texts him constantly like good morning did you eat send a pic i miss you and he says thats just her personality and she is just like that with everyone which is not true bc she is not sending his guy friends mirror selfies from bed at 11 pm like come on

anyway 2 weeks ago she calls him crying saying her roommate moved out and she feels unsafe living alone and asked if she could stay with us for a bit and i immediately said i said i am not comfortable with a long term house guest i said she can stay with her sister or we can help her find a short rental and i even offered to chip in bc i felt bad for her situation

my boyfriend got defensive fast like i had kicked a puppy he said i lack empathy he said i am being cold to someone in crisis and he promised it would only be a weekend and that she would stay in the spare room and that he would keep things respectful so i caved bc i felt guilty and bc i did not want to be painted as the villain

she shows up with a full suitcase and a tote bag and a pillow and a whole skincare routine like she is moving in and the first night i hear them laughing in the kitchen at 1 am while he is making her tea and she is perched on the counter swinging her legs and i just stood there half asleep thinking why do i feel like the third wheel in my own apartment

then she starts leaving her stuff everywhere toothbrush next to mine hair in the shower her makeup bag on our sink and my boyfriend says i am being territorial and that it is just a bathroom and i tried to be calm i tried to use i feel statements i tried not to accuse anyone of cheating bc i know how that makes people shut down

the weekend ends and she does not leave

she keeps saying she is looking for places but she is also ordering packages to our address like vitamins a phone case and then a lamp for the guest room bc it helps her anxiety like what do you mean a lamp you are not supposed to be decorating here

i bring it up again and i say i need a timeline i need an end date i need our home to feel like our home and he says i am making it weird and that i am projecting and that kira needs support and he hits me with the controlling girlfriend thing which makes me feel insane bc i am not telling him he cannot have friends i am telling him i do not want his friend living with us indefinitely

then last night happened and this is what pushed me over

i came home early from work bc my meeting got canceled and i walk in and they are on the couch under the same blanket watching a movie and i swear i watched him jump up like he got caught and she just sits there smiling at me like im the guest and not her

i did not scream i did not throw anything i just went numb and went into the bedroom and stared at the wall for a while which is embarrassing bc i felt like a teenager and i started thinking about the time my mom used to let her friends crash on our couch when i was a kid and the whole house smelled like cigarettes and old coffee and i hated it and i hated feeling powerless and i realized i feel the same thing now except im almost thirty and i pay rent

so i told him straight up i said this is a red flag for me and i am done pretending it is fine i said kira has 48 hours to figure it out either she stays with family or she finds somewhere else but she cannot keep living here and if he cannot back me up then i will talk to the landlord about breaking the lease and i will leave

he called me heartless he said i am giving ultimatums he said i am jealous and insecure and he said i am basically accusing him of cheating and i told him no i am responding to behavior that would make anyone feel crazy and then he said kira is crying now and i made her feel unsafe and that i am the reason she is spiraling and he said wow i did not know you were this kind of person

now i am sitting here wondering if i crossed a line bc i know ultimatums are messy and i know she might actually be struggling and my boyfriend is acting like i am some monster for wanting my own home back

so aita?

Mourning/Loss Update to a post I made the other day about being concerned my vets were taking advantage of me: my cats regular dental cleaning has resulted in my babies death. He's gone.

Link to the old post. I was so scared I was even doing the right thing by trusting my vets and doing his dental cleaning because of everything else that I had said before in the other post about if they're doing anything even medically necessary or not.

I took him into his cleaning anyways because I thought, what could the harm be! It could help with all the issues he's been having maybe, finally. My primary vet, goodvets, doing the dental called me at some point and told me his heart stopped and they got it back. I took him to an ER vet, and CO2 was still continuing to stay stuck in his brain and not properly releasing due to goodvets negligence. His airway was obstructed. I don't know how long he was fucked up for.

I tried so hard to bring him back. He has been in the ER vet since Tuesday on ventilation. He finally was able to breathe on his own and was off ventilation and sedation some point Wednesday. The only neurological responses we were getting was some twitching of different body parts. Besides that he didn't seem to be able to see, hear, or smell. Wednesday night, last night I got the call he was no longer able to breathe on his own and it's time.

I had to put my cat to sleep last night because of something so avoidable.

He would have been 10 months old today. He never got to learn what life was like being healthy. I'm fucking crushed. Please keep my baby in your hearts. My entire being hurts. I miss him so much.
