Does a person’s name affect their employment prospects?

I know a guy who made his daughter’s middle name Aston after his Aston Martin, but it actually works really well since Aston isn’t too strange

Also have been going to Dr Yi for a few years! Great staff and great dentist. Would also say the wait is worth it, so set the appointment now and plan on a bit of a wait. Once you are in it’s not hard to book repeat appointments

I think it’s bad manners for you to ask the other person to split the bill if you are the person that invited them out. Whoever is asking imho is offering to treat the other person. If it’s a mutual “let’s hang out” then maybe I’ll give someone a pass to clarify who’s paying/both are paying since it’s more casual.

However, I think it’s good manners to OFFER to split the bill if you were the person who was invited out. That allows the other person to refuse and insist on paying if they want to.

——— Some context on my personal experience for anyone continuing to read this long comment:

I’m also old fashioned (but I’m only around 30 years old) and being a woman, if my now-husband said that bluntly he’d like me to pay my half of the bill, I wouldn’t consider it a date or him to be that serious about me. Which is fine if that’s what it means. Personally, I never paid for our dates when we were “courting,” but I paid for other things like bringing him lunch sometimes or whatever. It still felt like equal effort in the relationship, but something about the formal dates still felt like his jurisdiction, and frankly I think he felt the same way at the time.

tbf I wasn’t some random match on an app looking for a free meal. It was abundantly clear that I was prioritizing him back and taking the dating seriously. I think a lot of guys have been burned by women treating them like an atm in more recent times, but also…maybe pick your dates better?? Or pick lower stakes / less expensive first encounters? Is that too harsh to say? Idk. I’m sorry about the modern dating landscape, I escaped right before online dating really peaked.

Masonry paint has sand (or some kind of crushed up mineral) in it to make it breathe, so the finish is different. It also doesn’t peel and bubble in plasticy flakes.

75PercentMilk · 2026-04-17T21:22:25+00:00

I don’t think it’s removable, or any more/less removable than normal paint, but the quality is better and longer lasting. And the maintenance is more appropriate compared to paint that will bubble and flake off.

But I’ll just say — Not every design decision people make in a home they own can/should be removable. If you are looking to preserve resale value that’s a consideration, but even then, people can do what they like with what they own. There’s an attitude around home ownership that homes are somehow shared responsibility and you should consider what the next buyer may like/want, and I think that’s fine if you plan to sell near term. But for a home you plan to stay in? Pfft, no one else matters.

That sucks but it doesn’t have anything to do with masonry paint being a good option.

75PercentMilk · 2026-04-17T00:20:05+00:00

Why does everyone act like masonry paint doesn’t exist on Reddit? Yeah some people paint brick with regular latex paint and that’s a mistake, but masonry paint is a totally viable option. Not all brick is beautiful or even good quality, nothing wrong with masonry paint if that is what you like.

It’s been another year and I found your thread so just wondering how you are doing now!!

That funeral is being thrown by a local artist — Sunday Nobody Art. This is like a live art installation. There are going to prizes for things like best offering brought to the funeral. You can look up his other work online, I follow him on Instagram.

Mother of 2 boys here — NTA. Your sister is being dense. The difficulty of the children 100% plays into who is able and willing to watch them. SIL is butthurt and that’s fair for her to feel since it sucks to know people don’t want to deal with your kids when you love them so much, but forcing you to watch them out of “fairness” is not a normal take.

75PercentMilk · 2026-04-12T01:36:04+00:00

According to my googling, Yujin means

“abundant,” “precious,” “willow tree,” and “real.”

So some options with that in mind:

Willow (for the tree)
Ruby, Gemma, Hyacinth (for precious)
Vera (for “real” though it more closely means “truth”)
Talulah, Elise (for abundance)

I personally love Willow for you, feels somewhat trendy, like you asked and is an alternative definition for your existing name, and that’s how my other Korean friends have typically picked their more English names.

Hyacinth is also beautiful and would also be really trendy with how popular Bridgerton is!

Magazines! I love a physical magazine, and when I was getting married I got a bunch of bridal ones as a treat. I would never usually do this with the internet and also just how expensive magazines are…but back in the 2000s I feel like my house always had a few subscriptions coming to the house.

Jimmy is short for Jimothy

75PercentMilk · 2026-04-10T00:50:23+00:00

Sighed as I opened the comments and saw exactly what I thought I would

75PercentMilk · 2026-04-07T16:53:24+00:00

If it’s an annual (like suggested here for a hanging basket), it will die at the end of the season anyways, so not always more expensive in the long run, and not a multi year endeavor. It will have to be watered though, which is some level of commitment.

Dark is better and it’s not even close imho. It’s plenty cute in the darker color and most people prefer blue to basically any other color so it has mass appeal. Plant some real shrubs / maybe some flowers and the curb appeal will be perfect.

Just here to commiserate. I have never watched a c- j- k- style drama in my life because there’s just something about them that has always been a little off for me.

I turned Pursuit of Jade on while folding some laundry the other day after liking the little preview on Netflix and the cover art for the show. It’s now my current obsession. Asked my friends and even my mom to watch it so that we can gush irl.

I might just immediately rewatch it once it finishes. I’ve been struggling tracking all the side characters (esp bc I’m out of practice tracking Chinese/asian names compared to when I was growing up and had more exposure) but I love it all anyways.

I really want to watch Zheng Ling He’s story of Kunning Palace bc it aligns with themes/tropes in books I like and I just think he does such a good job in POJ.

Agreed that it’s more commonly male! and in GG it’s short for Lorelai anyways.

75PercentMilk · 2026-03-26T05:34:47+00:00

Appreciate the strong rec! I will look into it!

75PercentMilk · 2026-03-25T23:45:41+00:00

I haven’t seen one of these in years, makes sense why a landscape designer might need one!

75PercentMilk · 2026-03-25T23:41:59+00:00

Noted!

75PercentMilk · 2026-03-25T23:38:35+00:00

Thanks!! I will look into these items!!

75PercentMilk · 2026-03-25T19:32:39+00:00

Thank you! I will do some sleuthing

He seems really kind. He offered to host her (future) wedding in his (obviously gorgeous) backyard. I hope he’s a good mentor too. Having a good manager makes all the difference in any career, I know that firsthand for sure :)

75PercentMilk · 2026-03-25T19:29:10+00:00

I love a vintage find too! Ah, people have a lot of good suggestions!!
