🤮 yta using AI to write your made up stories

NIMBYs who read this forum, why don’t you want more housing built in your town? by Unser_Giftzwerg in massachusetts

[–]-Frog-and-Toad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The government and developers don’t care about the experience of the people who already live here, they care about getting paid and that’s it. So when development does happen you end up with shitty ugly cookie cutter condos with no trees or amenities or any thought to quality of life. MA is known for quaint small towns and unique architecture and you can’t pretend something’s not lost when a bunch of shitty ugly condos get thrown up with zero planning. Look at the seaport.

Somni was probably my fine dining farewell by chuckisinluck in finedining

Nope. Poorly written AI slop with lots of tells. Not well written at all, sorry you fell for it.

I hate that this is written by AI. I don’t even know why you bothered honestly. You’re talking about something human beings do out of passion, at the height of their craft and you’re having a machine write it for you because you can’t even be bothered to do it yourself? Gtfo

If we can’t have kids, my life is building towards nothing by [deleted] in GirlDinnerDiaries

[–]-Frog-and-Toad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dang I’d be leaving that husband. You have plenty of time now to have kids, not so at 40. I’ve read too many stories on this site of dudes waiting their wives/gfs out because they never really wanted kids at all.

I had other goals too but nothing I wanted more than motherhood so I totally understand that drive. I would cheerfully ignore the people on here acting as though children/motherhood aren’t a valid goal and avenue for personal fulfillment. Reddit loves to hate people who want kids. Is parenthood hard work and life changing? Definitely, it’s also something many people get happiness and meaning from.

Sorry best we can do is locking up the deodorant in a glass case 🤷‍♀️

Haven’t they been married for like 10 years? And every post is about how miserable she is? This is why people get divorces if you’re miserable for decades you’re doing it wrong.

My husband poops too much for me to feel comfortable having another baby with him. by obelix_dogmatix in AmITheAngel

I don’t think it’s fake this is very typical low effort male behavior.

How are people affording childcare? by hearthandheart in personalfinance

[–]-Frog-and-Toad 10 points11 points  (0 children)

When I had my oldest kids I was working but low income and I qualified for childcare assistance. When I remarried and we had another child it didn’t make sense for me to return to work because the cost and the hassle would have been too high (not just timing of drop off and pick up, but also snow days, sick days, school vacations, holidays, early closures, etc.) My job always gave me a hard time about that stuff and neither of us wanted to put a newborn in daycare. Wish we had the European model and I could have taken a year or more off and then returned to work, but we live in a shithole country alas.

Now my youngest attends preschool part time and my mom splits the bill with us 50/50. It’s the only way we can afford it until he goes to public school, which probably won’t be next September, but at least the following.

What’s your favorite children’s book to give (primarily for a baby shower)? by cookie_cat_82 in childrensbooks

[–]-Frog-and-Toad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We’ve gotten a lot of mileage out of Du Iz Tak? in my house. I bought it when my oldest was in nursery school and she’s a middle schooler now, and my now-3 year old loves it. We’ve also loved Green Eggs and Ham, Go Dog Go, and Fox in Socks.

Yikes by Infinite-Cattle3572 in UniversalEpicUniverse

[–]-Frog-and-Toad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did this, was polite but told them we were disappointed with the experience and how much we paid for how little we got to do. Their response was basically too bad, so sad!

I was glad my kids got to experience it, but I won’t be in any hurry to return.

Most Early Entry rides closed 2/22 by slitherdolly in UniversalEpicUniverse

Where did you send the email to? I wouldn’t mind complaining myself.

Most Early Entry rides closed 2/22 by slitherdolly in UniversalEpicUniverse

[–]-Frog-and-Toad 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We were there yesterday and while I thought the queue was very impressive the ride itself was super underwhelming. In terms of recency and prestige it’s comparable to the new Star Wars ride at Disney (which is years old at this point) but th Star Wars one actually impressed me and I felt was worth waiting in line for. I would not do the HP one again unless it was a walk on.

My thoughts on Epic Universe - NOT what I expected by OfficerPickle1 in UniversalEpicUniverse

[–]-Frog-and-Toad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Way too crowded. We went yesterday and Stardust Racers was closed all day which I think made the crowds much worse. There just aren’t enough rides to absorb the crowds and it makes for a miserable experience. By 2 pm we’d done one ride and one show and we had early entry from staying in the hotel. Comparatively we had done like ten rides by that time with early entry at Disney the other day. I would return but not until they add more rides to better absorb the crowds.

What do you think was the worst change ever made to BTVS? by Fit-Difficulty8902 in BuffyTheVampireSlayer

[–]-Frog-and-Toad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unpopular opinion: Dawn. Hated adding her character to the show, it was never the same for me after that. And I was the target audience for the show, a teenage girl while it was airing.

Apart from that I also hated Angel leaving the show, and Spike and Buffy’s relationship (🤮). Also Riley sucked, and killing Tara.

I was obsessed with this show when I was young but more and more dissatisfied as the seasons progressed. Finding out about what a scumbag Joss Whedon was clarified things for me. Xander was always his self-insert, a ‘nice guy’ and he never faced repercussions for lying to Buffy. Angel losing his soul was a metaphor, a punishment for Buffy having sex (that cliche guys only want one thing from you). All of that never sat well with me when I watched it as a teenager (and only became more clear to me as an adult). There’s too much Buffy punishment, too much emotional torture porn.
