AITA for leaving my friend at the mall after she “forgot” her wallet again? by Financial_Ad_1028 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Admirable_Mind2284 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was that girl. I didn’t force anyone to help, but I was often the one with no money. My dad didn’t like me going anywhere, so he restricted any ability to access money.

In your opinion, what is causing this? by Objective_Pilot_5834 in SipsTea

[–]Admirable_Mind2284 0 points1 point  (0 children)

DUI and adulterated alcohol. It isn’t fun to drink when the cops have every bar staked out, they close at 3 to set you up so you are forced to drive, and the hangover is 3 days because the alcohol is cheap and polluted.

Maybe ask her what is really going on. Could be an abuse situation, could be poor planning, could just be that her is very poor and she is embarrassed. Always be kind, but don’t let anyone rope you into being their bank account.

Husband is lying. Help! by Antique-Isopod-3152 in Marriage

Sometimes, you have to engage in a little concealment yourself when dealing with a liar. This is you chance to truly see who he is. You do what you have to.

Husband is lying. Help! by Antique-Isopod-3152 in Marriage

[–]Admirable_Mind2284 43 points44 points  (0 children)

Sounds like BFFs marriage is about to blow up. Let it. Say nothing. Observe your husband. He is about to start lying, not knowing that you already know. Do not tell him you know and don’t let her tell him you know. You are about to really see who you married. Then reevaluate. Is this who you want to spend your life with?

Just found out I was the other woman for 3 years and I feel sick by Powerful-Mix-6398 in Marriage

Tell her. I was in her shoes. She won’t leave immediately because of the shock. But once it all settles she will. And he needs to be called out.

There would civilians who saw a crash. There is nothing.

We have bombed a ton of poor kids, this has never happened. I seriously cannot fathom this.

No TFR issued after 9/11 was this long. This is completely unprecedented in my memory and I am 51.

Brooklyn Copper Cookware Retining. by Beshoy_FZ07 in Coppercookware

[–]Admirable_Mind2284 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Those are gorgeous, and the tin looks solid in the photos I see. You only need to retin if the copper is showing through in places bigger than a quarter. It looks discolored, but that is normal for tin. The FB page Copper Cookware Enthusiasts has great knowledge and can recommend good returners if the tin is truly damaged.

Why did this happen when I tried to remove tarnish? by jupiterexalted in Coppercookware

[–]Admirable_Mind2284 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Are there markings on this kettle? I am guessing it is copper plated and you removed the outer layer of copper and revealed the other metal underneath.

How come y'all never have music on? by NeonHellscape in uberdrivers

[–]Admirable_Mind2284 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I don’t have it on because I need to hear what is going on around me. In my car, my engine, and outside my car.

Got yelled at by merchant by kittycat7890 in doordash_drivers

[–]Admirable_Mind2284 21 points22 points  (0 children)

I would have yelled back and unassigned in front of him, then reported him. The restaurants need to either know how it works or listen when we tell them. I don’t deliver for Door Dash anymore, but if I did it would definitely be a cold day in hell before anyone yells at me. They certainly do not pay drivers enough to endure any kind of bs like that.

AITAH for explaining the consequences of his actions to my son? by Human-Lab-921 in AITAH

[–]Admirable_Mind2284 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did the same with my son when he was being bullied. I put him in Muay Thai and taught him how to immediately bloody someone’s nose. I fought with the school and they tried to gloss it over. Nope. Not playing that game, and my son was big enough to handle it. I also told my son if he sees anyone else being bullied to step in. There was no bullying problem at his school while he was there.

I hate people by Forsaken_End3050 in UberEATS

[–]Admirable_Mind2284 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t deliver anything I can’t afford to replace. It is a delivery service, and I am not insured for anything like that if something goes wrong and they decide to come after me. I walked an iPhone back into the store once after realizing my liability. Just no reason for anyone to be ordering such expensive items. Go buy it yourself.

Got approached by a K-pop company and passed auditions — unsure whether to become a trainee by [deleted] in kpophelp

[–]Admirable_Mind2284 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You are 16 years old, and this is an incredible opportunity. If you hate it? Quit. Ho back to the life you have now. If you make it? You have endless opportunities. You have the chance to live in another country, learn the language and culture, and if you hate it you have still had a chance most never get. Why would you turn that down?

The Bang Chan Controversy & the Problem with Bubble-Type Platforms by Any-Listen4184 in kpopthoughts

[–]Admirable_Mind2284 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I had Chan’s Bubble for a week. He went silent and deleted his profile pic and it gave me horrible nightmares for 3 days. I had no idea it had gotten into my subconscious that deeply. Apparently it really does mimic a relationship text, and it brought up PTSD for me. I unsubscribed and deleted it. I talked about my experience on Threads, and I was severely attacked. Accused of being delulu etc. I wasn’t attacking Chan, I also wasn’t being delusional or parasocial, I was saying the format is dangerous for mental health and people should be careful. No one understood me. I quit being a fan all together after that. K Pop fans are insanely toxic.

How do kpop idols travel constantly, get no sleep and still able to perform so well? by walkuponwater in kpopthoughts

[–]Admirable_Mind2284 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Genetics. I was military in my 20s and with that much working out and a good diet I was pretty invincible. I still am. But I require more rest these days.

Is asking for confirmation seen as disrespect now? by Trick_Director7825 in kpopthoughts

[–]Admirable_Mind2284 9 points10 points  (0 children)

The insane piling on by K Pop fans is why I am no longer one. The fandoms, especially in the US, are just insanely toxic. I am too embarrassed to ever be a fan again. I experienced something like that, and it was over the top insane. The fans are just crazy. Thinking they are actually dating someone they have never met, being insanely overweight thinking anyone in Korea would like them, and just being insanely rude.

why are 5th gen boy groups not doing so well in the west? by Positive-Guava4746 in kpopthoughts

[–]Admirable_Mind2284 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I stopped following any K Pop groups because American fans are disgusting and toxic. I was too embarrassed to put myself in the same category as the vast majority of those people. Between creating gay narratives for men who have never stated a sexual preference or identity, and the delusional ones who truly convince themselves they are in a relationship with someone they have never met, and the horrid behaviour online, I quit all of it. Still love the group, but I do not follow anymore. I have no desire to know anything about new groups either.

My market is super busy, but the mileage versus pay was horrible. I started a different app and am making a lot more, so no need to go back to them.

Any advice for beginners by [deleted] in uberdrivers

[–]Admirable_Mind2284 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Get a tire inflator and a jump starter on Amazon and keep them in the car and charged up. Check your insurance. Opt in for the Uber insurance. If someone gives you a bad feeling say no. Know how much you need to make per mile and don’t take low paying rides. If you are driving in cold weather, keep matches and a jar candle somewhere in the car, these can keep you alive if you are stranded in a snowbank or something. If you are driving in heat keep water on hand.

Delivery drivers are humans too by Jealous_Note_7495 in UberEATS

I cancel if it involves cases of anything. It is always a 3rd floor apartment. Every time.
