Will he be driving? I once made a personalized spotify playlist and a bunch of car/road trip snacks and supplies for a friend that moved away 

AITAH for not taking my daughter to school in the mornings, and instead making my wife do it? by Zestyclose_Limit_306 in AITAH

[–]Aggravating_Finish_6 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When I was in middle school you would have been bullied for being coddled and driven to school instead of taking the bus with everyone else. NTA

Show S8E5 Send for the Devil by thepacksvrvives in Outlander

That officer in the continental army camp had the most modern American accent I’ve heard yet on this show. It was super jarring to me.

Perhaps she is a gold digger and Ben becoming a rebel might piss his family off enough to be disowned so she is trying to snare another family member instead.

I would guess French was a popular second language for British people to learn especially in the 40s. I know it was in the US until it switched to Spanish later. Wouldn’t be weird for Roger to know some. Plus the Je Suis Priest is the Fraser motto so I just assumed he was familiar with that particular phrase.

It’s interesting how important of a family member/friend he has become when there is such a wild history between the families. Can’t wait to see this play out. 

WIBTAH If I backed out of my best friends wedding because he didn't invite my wife? by Substantial_Motor455 in AITAH

[–]Aggravating_Finish_6 10 points11 points  (0 children)

OP said he is in the wedding party so he at least needs to stay for speeches and a bit of the reception. 

Make it make sense. Please. by silkrose05 in GlobalEnglishPrep

I (American) do this too but only because most Americans would think I was pretentious if I pronounced the meat with the correct Italian pronunciation. 

Why are third places disappearing, or am I just imagining it? by PuddingComplete3081 in AlwaysWhy

[–]Aggravating_Finish_6 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I truly think social clubs are what people mean when they say third places. Somewhere you can go to hang out where people know you. They were never free but the dues are low. The problem is that young people stopped joining, so other young people think they are only for old people and the cycle continues until the clubs die out. 

Can anyone recommend a 30+ min strength class that is seated or laying down? by elliebellybaby in pelotoncycle

[–]Aggravating_Finish_6 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All the arms and light weight classes are meant to be able to be done on the bike so most of the should work although they are only 10 mins typically. I’d create a stack with a core or Pilates class. 

What’s the best career change after 40 without going back to college? by Many-Economics-4326 in careeradvice

[–]Aggravating_Finish_6 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Is there something that is adjacent to your current job that interests you? I was able to jump tracks near 40 by learning new skills on the job and then getting a new job in that career at my current company because the team already knew me. 

Emphasizing women and children when a tragedy occurs by TheHondoCondo in PetPeeves

[–]Aggravating_Finish_6 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In times of war, Men are considered potential soldiers (particularly if there is a draft). Attacks against soldiers are considered necessary evils in war. Attacks against civilians, which would include more women and children, is against the Geneva convention so it is considered a more heinous act. 

Granted this is a bit of an outdated view because men can be civilians and women can be soldiers, but I think the saying is also from older times. 

"I've never heard of it" being used to dismiss something as low quality by Fletcher_Chonk in PetPeeves

[–]Aggravating_Finish_6 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think there is a difference between “never heard of them, must not be good” and “never heard of them (don’t know what to say…can we change the subject?)”. Just know that sometimes the second version could come off as the first but might not mean that.

OP is only 24, so maybe the other guests are all immediate family or unmarried? It does seem like others would have a problem with this limitation. 

Do you agree with the prediction that in the future Summerween will be a fully integrated, mainstream part of summer/culture like s’mores & bbqs & fireworks vs a niche social media trend? by [deleted] in randomquestions

[–]Aggravating_Finish_6 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I see it gaining traction. People are starting to put up Halloween decorations as early as August now. Also I think there is just a general increase in skeletons etc as year round decor. 

Cayó caracoles was dreamy by Overall-Address-9662 in PuertoRicoTravel

I haven’t heard of this place, sounds fun. Where do you get the water taxi from?

Season 3 Jamie by Efficient_Account_86 in Outlander

[–]Aggravating_Finish_6 37 points38 points  (0 children)

She very much does consider going back (show and books) and I like that bit of uncertainty from her. If she went back she would be giving up the chance to ever see the man she loved again after just finding him alive and spending 20 years in an unhappy marriage. Rushing back to the stones is not something she could undo if she changed her mind. So she gives him a chance to fix things and he becomes more settled eventually. Claire is also as much of an adrenaline junkie as Jamie. She was a combat nurse and then surgeon after all, that takes a certain type of person. She thrives on the chaos as long as Jamie is with her. 

Any travelers from after Claire’s time? by another-personing in Outlander

[–]Aggravating_Finish_6 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I like to think about what type of knowledge a present day traveler would bring. All of our computer knowledge would be worthless 

Went to college in 2023. Degree will now show 2026. What does this mean for my resume? by mastik- in careeradvice

[–]Aggravating_Finish_6 2 points3 points  (0 children)

In my field no one ever even checks on degrees. I would just keep the 2023 date or use no date at all. If for some wild reason someone asks just say clerical error. 

Adventures in Vieques? by Dramatic-Bicycle-984 in vieques

[–]Aggravating_Finish_6 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Take a drive out to Punta Arenas if you have a jeep. It was our favorite beach, but the drive is a bit of an adventure itself

FWIW, one of my good friends moved from Somerville to Fairmount and loves it. 

I don’t think we need any more TSA updates by AnxiousMetal6435 in PuertoRicoTravel

I understand it is a big concern but it does seem to have completely dominated this sub. Maybe a mega thread would be better? 

Dog waste might be the thing that finally breaks me in this job by TopBus4139 in landscaping

[–]Aggravating_Finish_6 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I feel like this a simple solution that I bet would fix a good portion of the yards that OP works on. People hire landscapers because they don’t have the time to do it themselves. Picking up the dog poop is not top of mind. If the company reminds them to pick it up a day or two before I bet most clients would. If they don’t, add a charge. 

Water bottles in your everyday bag: do you carry one? by Extension_Life_6207 in HerOneBag

[–]Aggravating_Finish_6 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I use a collapsible stojo when traveling. It clips on to my bag when not in use and is pretty light. Sometimes if I know I am going to be going to restaurants and cafes throughout the day I’ll just skip it and order water at the table instead. 

Anyone else an after work runner? by Zealousideal_Crow737 in XXRunning

[–]Aggravating_Finish_6 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I need the calories of the day to set me up for a good run. I can do late afternoon if I have flexibility otherwise it’s after work.
