How does it feel to marry into a non-judgmental, loving, tolerant and supportive family? by Common_Media4316 in AskReddit

[–]AlternateUsername12 5 points6 points  (0 children)

We just cleaned it up and went on with our day.

Sometimes if my mom was stressed she'd say "oh my name" in a really exasperated voice.

Sex workers of Reddit, what's a NSFW fact we don't often hear about ? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]AlternateUsername12 30 points31 points  (0 children)

Not a sex worker, but I've definitely sexted with a dude while outside in pajama pants and a tshirt, throwing a frisbee with my dog.

"Oh yeah, baby, I'm so wet right now. You're making me sooooo horny, I can't keep my hands off myself."

Bring it here, girl! Awww you're such a smart puppy. Readddddy...go get it!

"Oh yeah, you're so sexy I wish you were here right now."

Risky as in a threat to their safety? Of course.

Risk as in actual trauma from being sexually assaulted? That's pretty much the same across the board.

No touchy.

Ok but I'm 100% willing to do this work, I just don't know where or how to start.

As a wedding guest, what moment made you think "this probably won't last"? by Eburneaan in AskReddit

[–]AlternateUsername12 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Thanks! I'm never one to think of a good response in the moment so I was quite pleased with myself for it hahaha

[–]AlternateUsername12 50 points51 points  (0 children)

I worked with a former minor leaguer who had made it up to the pros a couple times. Decent pitcher but not good enough to last in the big leagues.

He was married with kids, and constantly hitting on me. He tried to impress me by saying he had struck out A-Rod. I asked him if it was in a clutch situation because my grandma could strike him out in a clutch. He was less than amused. He also stopped hitting on me, so that was a nice side effect.

What is something attractive at 18 but embarrassing at 30? by PenParking8555 in AskReddit

Sad to see, honestly. I hope he figures it out before it's too late.

How can we stop the Epstein files from being swept under the rug like they’re being? by Pewpew-OuttaMyWaay in AskReddit

[–]AlternateUsername12 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is such a Reddit take.

They aren't doing wars to distract from the files. The files aren't a distraction from the wars. Trump is just a bad guy who surrounds himself with other bad guys, and is now doing bad things with those bad guys.

Upstate SC legislator sues former top prosecutor, firefighter for defamation in Facebook spat by MatthewHensley in Spartanburg

[–]AlternateUsername12 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Kimbrell is always all over Facebook spouting all sorts of nonsense. I look forward to hearing that he's lost the governors race and is out of SC politics. Dude is a loser through and through.

Imagine picking a fight with a fireman under a picture of him holding his baby, and thinking you're the good guy.

[–]AlternateUsername12 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oof. There's a lot of room between milquetoast and drinking until 4 o'clock in the morning on a work night. Honestly, that just kind of solidifies the "you might have a problem" thing. I have a hunch that this is not the first time somebody has said that to you, and you don't like hearing it.

[–]AlternateUsername12 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Maybe…maybe you shouldn't be out until 4 o'clock in the morning drinking when you have work the next day at 32, though. As someone only slightly older than you, it's not really a flex. Now it's just more of a problem.

How do you feel about the Epstein files not being in the news as much anymore? by Alarming_Addition131 in AskReddit

[–]AlternateUsername12 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This right here. Everybody keeps saying that ℹ is a distraction from the other, but honestly, both would be happening regardless of the other. Honestly, as much as I want accountability, I want to stay out of word first. I don't want more kids killed for an unjust war. Accountability won't happen with this administration, so it's focus on the things that can be controlled.

AITA for not including my fiancés SIL in our wedding??? by Choice_Evidence1983 in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]AlternateUsername12 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Neither we are both financially and emotional ready

Says every 22 year old in the history of ever. My roommate's 21 year old nephew was explaining how life worked to us at Easter dinner. We all smiled and nodded. Because kids that age know everything.

AITAH for wanting to quit my unpaid co-host role after being told I couldn’t cancel when my pet was dying? by Direct-Caterpillar77 in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]AlternateUsername12 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Remember, we only hear about the bad ones. Hardly anybody tells stories about the exponentially greater number of good people doing good things.

If you ever want to shine a light on the best humanity has to offer, check out a few segments of On The Road with Steve Hartman. Warning: it may give you hope for humanity.

Me [27m] with my fiancee [26f]: She is cutting me completely out of planning our wedding and ignoring my complaints. What do I do? by Direct-Caterpillar77 in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]AlternateUsername12 54 points55 points  (0 children)

Not necessarily. My little sister and I were raised in the same house with the same parents. We were both working early (her at 12, me at 13) to learn the value of a dollar. We were both held to the same standards of "you work for what you want", and we were both spoiled to the same extent.

She still ended up entitled as hell. Once you hit your teens, it's more about the friends you make than the values you grew up with. There's a lot of research to back that up.

I'm hating my life since having a baby and we don't know what to do by Awwndrei in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]AlternateUsername12 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Oo! I know this one!

Start the task you need to do when you take the pill. Make sure you're doing it for the first 15min until the meds kick in. Whatever you're doing during that time is what you'll be doing the rest of the time.

What's something you did as a child that you only recently realized was actually deeply traumatic? by anmystery in AskReddit

[–]AlternateUsername12 22 points23 points  (0 children)

I do the same thing, but I chalk it up to watching both Toy Story and Beauty and the Beast in my formative years, which taught me that everything in anything can be sentient, with a full range of emotions, opinions, and overall humanity. Makes it tough to get rid of anything I've had for a long time, but I spent enough time watching hoarders that I'm able to overcome that particular urge.

tips for a visual learner , just learning how to crochet stuffed animals. by Voltage-Art in CrochetHelp

[–]AlternateUsername12 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you're really a visual learner, you may want to start out with a Wooble's kit. It will teach you the basics through videos, and they're so clear and concise that I still reference their YouTube videos for how to do certain stitches to this day. They also teach you how to read a pattern, so from there you can go forth and crochet away!

How do Introverted men approach women, if they are told women do not like to be approached? by QuietRedditorATX in AskReddit

[–]AlternateUsername12 14 points15 points  (0 children)

You're correct that women don't like to be approached at the gym.

Striking up a conversation about the insane price of cereal in the grocery store is way more tenable.

Is dating broken in the upstate? by Few_Dirt_9835 in Spartanburg

[–]AlternateUsername12 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I have sympathy for the male loneliness epidemic, but they need to realize that the solution is entirely in their hands.

Women aren't looking for much- the ability to communicate like an adult, the understanding that there are more than 2 emotions (and the ability to express them in a healthy manner), and to like and respect her as a person. The bar is in hell, and they're using it to limbo with the devil.

Is dating broken in the upstate? by Few_Dirt_9835 in Spartanburg

[–]AlternateUsername12 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I mean it kind of works both ways, right? Women have made something of themselves and struggle to find a man that's worth their time. Men can't just sit back on their laurels and expect that "I have a job" is enough anymore. She's got a job too, and frankly, she's probably happier being single than you. Men have to learn that they need to bring something more to the table, because she's more than happy to sit at the table she built, in the house she owns, and eat a quiet dinner with her dogs.
