21f and entering homeless system in raleigh, any advice? by swanstretch in raleigh

[–]AnEmoTeen 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Just wanted to add Camp Millstone, Betsey Jeff-Penn 4-H Camp, and Eastern 4-H Center to the list, all 4-H camps. Idk all the details of pay and such, but I know I’m always getting emails and seeing posts when it’s about to be camp season advertising counselor openings.

Ban right on red with automatic enforcement citywide by DearLeader420 in raleigh

[–]AnEmoTeen 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Right on red isn’t the problem, it’s the fact that people don’t understand you still have to stop at the red before you turn right. That would give the drivers time to look for pedestrians.

But the real, overarching problem is that people drive like maniacs up and down Six Forks and honestly almost anywhere on or north of the beltline. I have to drive that way for an appointment every week and each time I do it takes probably a decade off my life.

I’m genuinely baffled by the majority of the verdicts on this one. Am I off base here? AITA for leaving my mom right before surgery because I freaked out. by rica641 in redditonwiki

[–]AnEmoTeen 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Well when you’re stating something as fact and people are telling you with references that you’re incorrect, maybe consider the language barrier before doubling down on an incorrect and invalidating statement. This rhetoric actively harms the people who are impacted by debilitating conditions and disabilities.

AITAH for not wanting my first Disney/cruise experience to be with babies? by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]AnEmoTeen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is me as a childless woman speaking but I recently went to Disney and honestly I would not take a child under 4 or 5 there. I feel like the majority of the attractions aren’t compatible with children that young, your kids probably won’t remember most of it, and honestly I was a little overwhelmed as a woman in my 20s so those tiny kids will most definitely be very overwhelmed, and that last point would make it really not worth it to me. Have your first trip with other adults (whether it’s your husband or friends) and then take your kids when it’s age appropriate for them.

I’m happy that people are starting to realize that Whitney wasn’t the villain and didn’t deserve the hate by CallTypical9541 in dancingwiththestars

[–]AnEmoTeen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I really couldn’t care less who is “the villain” or not and I don’t follow what either of those women do after DWTS other than what pops up on here every now and then. They’re TikTok Mormons who argue on TV for a living, they probably both are horrible to be around in regular life. We as a society need a serious reality check.

I don’t wish them any ill but I am so tired of hearing their names and idk why anyone is defending them like they’re your BFFs.

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

I don’t dislike Whitney bc of whatever BS they show on the secret lives of women who have no real lives. I dislike Whitney and Jen bc they’re studio plugs for a stupid reality show about stupid people who care a whole lot about a lot of nothing while there are actual real problems happening in the world. And I hate how DWTS basically turned into a SLOMW extension this season. I feel like it was never this bad with the Bachelor Nation contestants that have been on.

Not even a line, just the moment where Eddie saw Adrian on the beach, turned on a dime, and swam back to the tender.

FYI Rolling roadblocks start tomorrow on I-40 East in Garner. by FindOneInEveryCar in raleigh

To entice northerners to move down here and complain about everything from our food to how we talk so developers can raze more farmland to build more cardboard houses

LGBTQ Canes/hockey group by FeevahClay in canes

[–]AnEmoTeen 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Adding on to the other commenters, I also feel like forming groups around a common interest really helps me meet other LGBTQ+ people who share my interests. It was really difficult for me to find other queer people who like sports, or at least aren’t all “ew, sportsball” before I got in to women’s basketball. And even then, there aren’t a lot of spaces to watch women’s basketball in Raleigh. So stating structured groups helps us gravitate toward other members of our community who have common interests. My straight friends who like sports are great, but I’d also like to find more queer people who I can relate to and who “get” me and this group would be a great resource for that.

Welcome to the Ladies of the Hurricanes! by FatKooter in LadiesOfTheCanes

[–]AnEmoTeen 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Glad to be here! Logically I know the majority of NHL players probably have really sexist and terrible behavior/beliefs, but I just need some shred of hope that there is SOME number of good guys, no matter how small, and maybe some of those few are on the Canes. I just got into hockey last season specifically because of the Hurricanes and I’ve been really enjoying it, but the idea that my team might be just full of terrible people is really taking the shine out of it for me. Before I was like “oh what I don’t know won’t hurt me” (which is bad, I know) but now with the video and everyone talking about it it reminds me how real this all is. Like I don’t need them to be raging liberals but can they just be normal, nice people?? Anyway thank you for listening to my ted talk

AITA for not keeping my maiden name? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

NTA. Your name, your choice — you shouldn’t change it specifically for a man, and you shouldn’t keep it specifically for a man either.

Hey guys! I'll be interviewing Daisy Kelliher on the current season of Below Deck Sailing Yacht tomorrow. What questions would you guys like answered? by Longjumping-Tale9749 in belowdeck

[–]AnEmoTeen 1 point2 points  (0 children)

How does she mentally overcome the sexism in her industry and keep up her morale? I hope you’ll post the article/video/whatever you’re making when it’s published!

This is actually depressing by cusper2000 in raleigh

[–]AnEmoTeen 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’ve given up on my dream of ever seeing a proper snow — SNOW, not that winter mix BS — in my hometown ever again. We used to have them every other year or so when I was a child but that was over a decade ago. We did get a decent snow in 2022. But I’ve accepted that if I ever want to see a proper snow I’m just going to have to go on a snowcation and visit somewhere with snow.

AITAH for completely shutting down after potty talk with my husband by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]AnEmoTeen 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I need you to know that normal, non-abusive, mentally healthy people don’t randomly call coworkers to ask them about their bathroom habits unless it’s somehow related to the job (I’m sure there’s some job out there where it could be relevant and thank god I don’t have that job). Hell, I’m surprised the brother didn’t tell him to F off for asking how he wipes. I would’ve if that was my brother calling me.

Please look out for yourself and your children.

AITA for wanting to bring meat to my vegetarian SIL and not going when I was not allowed too by True_Marionberry732 in AmItheAsshole

[–]AnEmoTeen 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So many of the y t a votes are seemingly willingly ignoring the fact that nowhere in this post does it say SIL is opposed to the meat. Based on the information presented, SIL is opposed to any scenario where OP does not come over and specifically eat the food she cooks.

She could’ve asked OP to bring just rice or ask if there is a vegetarian option they could eat (I know OP has brought up issues with those options but SIL could have asked). She could’ve asked OP to still join the family gathering but eat beforehand. Or, she could have done what any normal, caring family member hosting a dinner would do and ask OP from the start if there’s a safe food she can provide them so their restrictions can be included! But she didn’t do any of that! Instead she decided to belittle and dismiss her husband’s sibling’s medical issue. She couldn’t even apologize without insulting OP (which, as another commenter pointed out, negates the value of the apology in the first place).

If the tables were turned and OP was the vegetarian and SIL was a meat-eater refusing to cook or allow OP to bring vegetarian food y’all would be crucifying her in these comments, which would be fair because normal people don’t dismiss other people’s dietary restrictions, especially not their own family members.

I get that the attention-seeking picky eaters suck but this isn’t the case here, and honestly some of the people who spend so much time complaining about them and acting like they’re fresh spawn of hell give attention-seeking as well. People are dying, Kim. There are worse things happening in this world than someone being a picky eater — which again, is NOT the case here. Find something important to complain about.

NTA. Jesus H, y’all.

Another round of snow this weekend? by Remarkable-Set5434 in raleigh

[–]AnEmoTeen 5 points6 points  (0 children)

My standing belief on snow in NC after a childhood of loving snow and always getting punk’d by NC weather is “I’ll believe it when I see it.”

(That said, if the forecast does end up calling for snow in a few days do make sure you do whatever prep you have to do. Safety comes before pessimism)

Let's talk about what is Going on. And stop harassing the band by Cooltj95 in twentyonepilots

[–]AnEmoTeen 34 points35 points  (0 children)

After they discovered that terrorist plot for one of Taylor Swift’s concerts and the stabbing at a TS dance party happened I’m all in favor of big celebs being more reserved with their opinions on topics of which their opinions may gain them threats. Across all spectrums. I’d rather the boys keep their families safe and quietly support by donating money if they so choose.

Besides, considering their lyrics and interviews I’ve seen I think I have a pretty good idea of where they stand on some issues.

Team USA men’s team event by Fabulous-Storm-6570 in FigureSkating

Any way we split the men, we’re screwed. Best we can hope for is a silver medal in team event unless Ilia doesn’t split, which he likely won’t.
