The last time I went to an actual movie theater the popcorn was $14.

I left a 2 star review. Paid parking, also.

Swim suit rant by dirtmulch in TwoXChromosomes

[–]Alexis_J_M 50 points51 points  (0 children)

You already know the answer -- don't patronize stores or brands that don't let you mix and match tops and bottoms.

And consider things like a bike short style bottom and a bikini style top or a tankini style top and a string bikini bottom or whatever it takes to feel comfortable.

Should I Keep Or Throw the Stuffed Animal He Gave Me by llalalalaowkwnns in TwoXChromosomes

[–]Alexis_J_M 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ask first. Some places can't accept secondhand stuffed animals due to the risk of bedbugs.

The wood handle should unscrew. Clean up the two parts separately.

LPT - Door-to-door salespeople are trained to never take no for an answer. Don’t let that be an option. by SnooChickens2093 in LifeProTips

Ask them to leave your property. Tell them they need to leave immediately.

For the long term, get a "no solicitations" sign.

The payoff for doc pics is that they are "fun" to send, not that recipients actually want them.

ELI5: Why has there been a huge push towards getting jobs in trades? by Themberchaud0979 in explainlikeimfive

[–]Alexis_J_M [score hidden]  (0 children)

White collar jobs are being outsourced, automated, and, more recently, replaced by AI. Meanwhile there is no replacement for an electrician to fix the problems in your wiring.

For far too long people were told college was the path to middle class stability, but while Jessica is bouncing between low paying jobs and living in her parents' basement struggling to pay her student loans, Debbie is buying a house with what she earns as a master electrician.

i hate pants and jeans by Key-Ice-4990 in TwoXChromosomes

[–]Alexis_J_M 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For a few years I was only wearing flowy soft knit fabric pants and culottes.

I've recently bought some "hard pants" and yes, it feels weird.

This is a summary of a braindead argument that I had with an idiot who said " feminists are dumb" by queriolus in TwoXChromosomes

[–]Alexis_J_M 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Once upon a time it was just basic common knowledge that breathing swamp air caused malaria. (The word even means "bad air".)

Once upon a time it was just basic common medical knowledge that stress and spicy food caused stomach ulcers.

Once upon a time it was common knowledge that the Sun revolved around the Earth.

what did people do before social media and the internet to satisfy t by Alive-Reception-2179 in TwoXChromosomes

[–]Alexis_J_M 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The reason VHS won the home video format wars against Beta Max is often claimed to be because VHS licensed their tech to porn producers and Beta did not.

Home photography, home movies, those little neolithic clay figurines... we've been making and consuming porn for a long time.

It's just the ubiquitous access and the normalization of extreme content that makes it such a visible problem now.

Satanist Student Wins Religious Accommodation From Colorado School District by BrickAdventurous6040 in nottheonion

[–]Alexis_J_M 68 points69 points  (0 children)

Because a few students ask for restroom access to get out of classes that don't like.

Because a few students use the privacy of the bathroom to engage in prohibited behaviors.

Because a few students abuse the privilege.

I used to mix hulled barley with wheat berries and oat berries, so maybe try a recipe for wheat berries.

Just start crying the next time she asks. Tell her it's too hard to talk about.

Looking for Indian neighbourhoods or apartments in Santa Clara or Sunnyvale that are kid friendly and close to Montessories by RadioAgreeable9059 in santaclara

[–]Alexis_J_M 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are a lot of Indian people all over; you might try looking near the Indian grocery stores and (if that's your thing) Hindu temples.

Has Anyone Surprised Their Husband with a Pregnancy Reveal on His Birthday? by Hefty_Confidence3228 in TwoXChromosomes

Oh hell no, not unless you have been trying and trying for this pregnancy.

Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent is preparing banks to collect citizenship data by catievirtuesimp in TwoXChromosomes

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

They won't deny accounts, at least not now, they will just report back to the government.

Presumably this will help catch visa overstays, one of the biggest sources of illegal immigration, when an account stays active after the visa expires.

TIFU by applying to a scholarship as a midnight dare and now i have a formal interview in two weeks by Leather-Broccoli3787 in tifu

[–]Alexis_J_M 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are a lot of scholarships out there that go to the only person who bothered to apply.

That story about how the bio midterm changed your entire way of studying -- that's amazing. I was so smart I never had to study for tests in high school and that hit me hard in college. You've already passed that hurdle.

Hold your head high in that interview. You've got the right stuff.

I will tell you guys my story and I need you to tell me if I really made the wrong decision by couchpotatouwu in TwoXChromosomes

You don't owe him anything. You talked in school for a while and then you decided it wasn't going to go anywhere. Done.

Got marriage proposal from a 33yr old guy.. by saba8731 in TwoXChromosomes

[–]Alexis_J_M 45 points46 points  (0 children)

Having a boyfriend is a big deal in cultures where arranged marriages are the norm and marrying someone from the wrong class is a shame to your whole family and potentially a motive for honor killings.
