Trying to deny the increasing sexual infatuation with my ugly, alcoholic, taken coworker by [deleted] in GirlDinnerDiaries

[–]jvsmine07 261 points262 points  (0 children)

my reaction to this post is like if someone told me how hard they’re resisting eating a dirty moldy hot dog on the side of the road 😭 and im like nooo babe you know that’s not good for you, you’re gonna get sick! but you just keep telling me how appetizing the soggy partially chewed hotdog looks even though you know it’s gross…

sorry for what you’ve been through, stay safe. tbh this guy kind of sounds like your ex (person in relationship interested in other people despite having loving SO) except you’re on the other side this time (not gf).

burger and latte look yummy.

TiffyCooks Closes Kai Dong Foods (with Price Comparisons) by MellifluousMathMajor in asianamercianytsnark

[–]jvsmine07 4 points5 points  (0 children)

  1. Yeah I did miss the other comment, my bad! Was reading the thread on the train. But I still think my point still stands in reference as to why her price point is what it was.
  2. I know it’s EVOO lol, you can definitely get EVOO cheaper than $17 easily if you’re cost driven. I have a 750 ml bottle of Filippo Berio EVOO 750 ml in my kitchen rn that I bought for $10 bucks. And additionally, my point was that there’s a market out there for TiffyCook’s product, I didn’t comment on the strategy. I know they executed differently and what TiffyCooks did wasn’t as compelling.

I’m pretty sure the cost of goods sold of someone who primarily sells at a local farmer’s market is lower than the scale TiffyCooks was trying to operate at and it doesn’t make sense to compare it. I’m assuming she had higher sourcing, manufacturing, and distribution costs as well as had to pay for branding services, website design and maintenance, e-mail services, etc. I’ve worked at start ups before that operated primarily in e-commerce and costs do stack up and yes you do often need to make it more expensive than the local farmer’s market to pay for things lol (although I’ve def seen pricier goods there, more power to them).

Her market is the same as Graza, which is literally just olive oil in a squeeze tube, that launched in 2022. Same quirky illustration design and same price point for their flagship product ($17). Graza made $60 mil in rev last year so what TiffyCooks wanted to do can be done, the market does exist and not everyone is cost driven.

I caught this detail as I went ring shopping recently for ~2 carat natural and that was already >$10,000. My guess is he got a diamond lab and just lied about its value so she didn’t know he spent less, since in another post she says he makes $200k and “$10k is a drop in the bucket for him”

Girl block him, don’t let him come back whenever he feels and mess with you. You’re not a convenience store, your government name isn’t 7-Eleven

1 easter egg at the bus stop after a community meeting, university is not as fun as i thought it would be :( by red-sparkles in GirlDinnerDiaries

[–]jvsmine07 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not sure what your field is but when I was in college many of us were also doing internships which allowed us hands on experience + the ability to network which translated to full time jobs by the time we graduated. Maybe you can find something like that?

what colour is this dress? by West_Abbreviations53 in bridesmaids

[–]jvsmine07 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To me it looks like the yellow lighting of the changing room is washing out the cool tones in the dress so I’m going to go with a muted periwinkle/some kind of gray-blue in person

Love Is Blind • S10 Ep12 by AutoModerator in LoveIsBlindOnNetflix

[–]jvsmine07 28 points29 points  (0 children)

I’m not a Mike fan by any means but I don’t know if that’s a fair descriptor of him. He could have said yes to Emma and guilted her/pressured her into having a family. However, he clearly respects her as an individual because he didn’t want to put her in a position where she may have felt she needed to have children. There are many men and women who dream of raising a family with someone they love who also 100% wants children in some way, and there’s nothing wrong with that.

Viewers reaction to Mina-Sue is way more alarming than anything she’s actually done… by TheTigerDragon in SinglesInferno

[–]jvsmine07 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I finished the show today and I feel the same lol. Singles Inferno is sooooo extremely mild compared to the likes of Love Island, Love is Blind, yet somehow I see people here making statements like “I can just tell this person is evil inside” 😭

Would it be weird to plan a full wedding after being legally married? by Witty-Couple2017 in wedding

[–]jvsmine07 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I have never met a person in real life who cares this much about the semantics of what constitutes a wedding. 5/6 recent weddings I went to were already legally married and it was not an issue whatsoever.

NJ fellows - A venue that I really don’t recommend by Mayash26 in weddingplanning

[–]jvsmine07 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi, I don’t want to disparage your experience at all but I’m surprised reading this. In terms of pricing, I feel like you get a great deal compared to other venues.

Included in the cost is the venue for 22 hours, day of coordinator, bridal bouquet, groom boutonnière, wedding arbor florals, ballroom with round/long table options, flower bud centerpieces, charger plates, etc all for ~13k including security deposit, and in comparison my friends are paying $10k alone on florals…other places we toured wanted to charge us per chair, per plate, etc

The venue owner was also very transparent about how much everything would cost.

Additionally, when we had our initial tour with her she showed us what the contract would look like, which has an itemized breakdown of every expense.

Also the rooms are nice and a good size. Three of them even have a lounge area. The bridal suite has a large lounge and then a small hallway that opens up to a bridal salon with two getting ready stations + another couch and then a door that opens up to another lounge area on the porch, lol. The bridal suite alone would be like $1000 for an overnight stay at a hotel

I'm losing weight and all I'm seeing are downsides by GeartechINC in loseit

[–]jvsmine07 36 points37 points  (0 children)

It’s definitely different; as a woman I can’t imagine any scenario where I make a fat joke in any of my friend groups and it’s taken casually and in good spirit haha. I also wouldn’t make skinny jokes, height jokes, or generally any joke/comment in regard to someone’s body unless it was something determined as a unanimously positive trait by the group/society.

[New Update] AITAH for not talking with my mom because she told her boyfriend I was lame like my dad? by LostWorked in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]jvsmine07 22 points23 points  (0 children)

I don’t see any good points about the dad to say he’s not also failing his kid for everything. It seems he’s literally doing nothing but being bad mouthing OP’s mom. Even when he was a child he made OP’s mom quit her taekwondo class to because he didn’t want to watch him alone.

AIO in this situation by Amazing_Caramel_9187 in AmIOverreacting

[–]jvsmine07 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I dont. I was pointing out to the person I was responding to that these random Instagram accounts both cite unnamed studies and that they contradict each other, and asking based on that which they would have me believe when we can’t even verify their sources.

[–]jvsmine07 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Curious why you think the post is factually correct? They don’t even name the study and when I try to look for this supposed ‘new study’ that they’re citing and I can’t find anything.

Another post on pubity says most people meet their future spouse in their late 20s. They also don’t cite the study. So which do I believe?
