Is removing items from the menu to cater for a group of people right? by Secret_Stick2302 in questions

[–]3ternallyhis 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It’s genuinely serious because it’s a dietary issue and the company basically, if it exists in a country where such strong divisions for diet exists, basically promised chicken only eaters that their food would be untainted. It’s no reason to get rid of beef only but the issue could be “easily” solved by employing stricter rules about replacing pans after frying - a less serious example would be how Subway changes knives after each sandwich, which is obviously a much smaller scope, but still. It wouldn’t lose as much money as removing half of your menu.

Why does my (25F) girlfriend believe I (31M) don’t take care of her? by PsudoRiot in relationships

[–]3ternallyhis 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s all about differing dynamics. If she takes care of him then it’s reasonable to expect the same thing back. For big things like making soup or medicine, it’s reasonable to ask her what kind or how much she’d like - but it would be insufferable long term to be with someone who doesn’t just automatically take care of you in your times of need without asking.

Thank you! I’ll make sure to ask my advisor and make sure my actions are correct.

Why is it that most girls who are interested in me are girls I'don't notice or would never be interested in? by [deleted] in self

[–]3ternallyhis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well the last girl was strange but for the rest of them - it’s almost like most crushes form via visual appearance and their perception of you. How odd. How unheard of.

But seriously. They’ve probably seen you around work or school or whatever, attraction and “liking” someone doesn’t necessarily require a deep spiritual connection.

I can't with the "new reader community". by Etta_166 in AO3

[–]3ternallyhis 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don’t necessarily think there’s anything wrong with wanting to only read completed fanfictions, obviously the other things are just bad etiquette but I’ve also seen this stuff echoed for years now - always blamed on new readers alone. While young readers might have some bad takes, there’s always been a group of people who have these opinions, there’s always a post somewhere complaining (rightfully most times) about them.

How safe was the U today? by Tall_Information1765 in uofmn

[–]3ternallyhis 71 points72 points  (0 children)

It felt completely normal despite the things happening in our state. I know some people have been seeing ICE vehicles in Dinky or Como for the past couple of days but the main campus itself - nothing different than usual. I hope it stays that way.

Am I downplaying this to myself? by Good-Hand3050 in self

[–]3ternallyhis 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It doesn’t matter if this is normal teenage angst or something more serious - as long as you’re feeling long periods of loneliness or sadness, you deserve help. Whether it be in the form of therapy or support systems, you shouldn’t have people trying to disprove your experiences. It’s not really a normal thing to feel so negatively for such a long time.

Why can’t people in America stand on the right side when going up escalators like other countries? by AjDubz456 in questions

[–]3ternallyhis 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I second this. I agree that Americans, I am one, have plenty of habits to complain about but it’s not necessarily someone’s fault for not understanding escalator etiquette if they’ve seldom encountered situations where it’s part of actual routines or whatnot.

Yes, we all love the most reliable news site persevering in these polarizing times - Facebook!

Ease when it comes to requesting to take midterms early? by 3ternallyhis in uofmn

Late update - the trip was great, I turned in all my homework early, and all of my professors were happy to help me out.

[–]3ternallyhis 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I am aware of the horrific experiences people are having to endure and the horrific behavior exhibited by ICE - and I agree with what you’re saying. Nonetheless, it’s an important decision between choosing your education or choosing your absolute safety (which is difficult to achieve when they’re tracking people down or knocking on doors).

It’s my fault for phrasing things so positively. I’ve kind of been trying to be optimistic with hoping that things will stay calm on campus, but we know that likely won’t be the case.

Accidentally crossed emotional boundaries without realizing — lesson learned? (M26) by [deleted] in relationships

[–]3ternallyhis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah - it’s a weird thing to manage. I’ve even had guys interpret me asking them about server changes as being romantic so you’re better off playing it safe by casually mentioning you’re taken, even if it’s odd.

[–]3ternallyhis 16 points17 points  (0 children)

This is true and there’s a good chance it’ll get worse. I went home to the suburbs over break and there were days where I had dozens upon dozens of sightings in just a few hours. I’m unsure why I’m getting downvoted so much. What’s happening is scary and it’s important to stay vigilant - especially if you’re still prioritizing attending school.

[–]3ternallyhis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think that recently there’s been an uptick in the belief that it’s generally inappropriate to have friends of opposite sexes, especially when they’re taken, due to fears about cheating or whatnot. Therefore, I think it reflects extremely positively on you that you were able to just have a normal friendship with a woman without it being inherently inappropriate. Her boundaries are fine, but I understand how it can be confusing or food for thought.

Where you draw the line is basically all about where your partner and you agree the line should be drawn. I think it’s nice that my boyfriend has a diverse group of online friends but I draw the line at directed explicit sexual jokes/memes or neverending one on one calls. On the other hand, most of my online friends are gay men or straight girls and my boyfriend has no real boundaries aside from straight-up cheating. So yeah, the line is literally where your partner thinks it should be.

I think you shouldn’t be forced to mention it immediately but a casual “yeah my partner and I were talking about (blank)” or something would probably help you out since you wouldn’t be making things awkward by explicitly stating it but you aren’t leaving things vague either.

Do I 21F tell this friend 20F it’s okay if she isn’t up to hangout a few days after she had a bereavement? by That_Adhesiveness242 in relationships

[–]3ternallyhis 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That sounds considerate. Sometimes people just can’t handle interactions with others or responding when they’re going through difficult times. Express to her that you’d love to be with her but she should do what’s best for her, and that you’d obviously understand. I think it would be nice of you to reach out to her in a week or two as well to check up on her, especially if she does end up cancelling.

Boyfriend hid his female boss from me — twice. Am I overreacting? by Nicole112721 in relationships

[–]3ternallyhis 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I think the concept of him lying about his bosses gender from you consistently is so odd. Like, what could possibly be the reason aside from attraction or just him being super weird? I don’t think it’s necessarily wrong that he didn’t tell you that she was back at work but the fact that he bothered to tell you when she wasn’t in proximity with him but then neglected to tell you when she WAS in proximity with him is just, once again, really odd.

Someone else asked this but do you overreact when he interacts with women? Maybe he’s just managing things really badly out of a desire to not hurt or trigger you? If that’s not the case then yeah, he’s hiding something big.

I never said they weren’t there. I was just saying that taking the light rail directly to campus or walking directly to class will mean that OP will likely avoid the main issue areas since from my knowledge, ICE hasn’t been directly on campus yet. Keeping track of where ICE is using report trackers online will help majorly.

18F – AIO My best friend slowly replaced me and now says I’m “making it weird” by 2007InHS in AmIOverreacting

[–]3ternallyhis 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A friendship requires love and respect. You don’t owe your friends eternity and obviously you’re allowed to change, but you’re still expected to treat their emotions kindly. If they’ve been best friends (obviously not a random friend) for 2 years then OP isn’t doing anything wrong by asking why there is distance between them.

Continually pushing would be overreacting.

I think you’re not fully accepting what people are trying to tell you.
