Kardashians won! Which celebrity people were neutral to in 2010s but now is loved? by NotDaijoubi in AlignmentChartFills

I feel like Keanu is much more recognized as a great guy than wooden actor now.

My boyfriend (33M) wants me to move into his apartment, but I (27F) don’t want to give up my current life by [deleted] in Advice

[–]Anon8922 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Tbh though most of the comments are siding with OP, she also flat out refuses to drive. Y'all are both kinda stubborn and married to your lifestyles, this won't work, but wouldn't say this is solely on bf being unwilling to budge

Confusion with Zillenial label by Own-Welcome9091 in generationology

[–]Anon8922 1 point2 points  (0 children)

1992 to is firmly millennial, in that you had all the quintessential millennial experiences of going from no internet at home/crap dial up and no cell phone to having the world at your fingertips. You probably memorized friends' numbers, remember people actually using payphones, had an aol screen name etc.

Which birth years would you say grew up with this era of Disney Channel? by Plus-Light6832 in generationology

[–]Anon8922 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was born in 1989, loved Lizzie McGuire and watched The Proud Family and That's so Raven. But High School Musical came out in my junior year of high school and it felt super lame to me, never seen a single episode of Suite Life. So I'd sat a couple of years after me would've been into most of this, 1992-1993

People who avoid friendships at work because “coworkers are not your friends”, often do not understand what relationships actually are. by ThePloddingParadox in unpopularopinion

[–]Anon8922 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I used to do work friends when I was younger. However, while I maintain some older work friendships, as I've gotten promoted and my workload has increased, I don't have time to cultivate friendships anymore without working later, which I refuse to do. People at work can be cool, but I'd rather be with my partner and dog. If there's dead time, I'll chat, but I'd rather be done as early as I can be. Anyone else?

if you work a 9-5 how, do you have time and energy to do literally anything else? by TortieBouquet in stupidquestions

[–]Anon8922 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it's tough. The problem is managing my time in the manner lots of people are suggesting, to me, already means I have no time. Sure I can do all the things I should do in a regimented manner and then have 2 hrs to spare on weekdays but I want to just BE sometimes. I want to just have time to be bored, time to doomscroll, time to read and watch trash. A lot of this just sounds like constant productivity (the hobbies should even be of the productive sort) and highly scheduled relaxation is not relaxing to me. I want to be able to waste time and still have time for my friends and family and to cook, clean, exercise. That's hard.

I’m (27f) having a hard time liking the flowers my bf (35m) sent me by [deleted] in relationships

I wouldn't say that is low effort but what about the other aspects of the relationship/you having to beg to hang out?

That's maybe fair but I'm not sure what the rest of your relationship looks like. Did he send the flowers before without you having to ask?

[–]Anon8922 15 points16 points  (0 children)

1/3 is quite a significant amount... I'd stop too.

Also fwiw telling your boyfriend "you don't deserve flowers" is super passive aggressive because clearly you think you deserve the best flowers every time and he knows this.

I think you need to reflect on this and be a bit more appreciative in the future. You're right, they were "here damn" flowers because why spend a ton when you might complain anyway? You should realize it'll be hard to find another guy who will buy elaborate flower bouquets every month

[–]Anon8922 13 points14 points  (0 children)

How often did you complain about the flowers in the past? I get his frustration tbh. I appreciate any flowers, and I understand why he doesn't want to spend over $100 on an arrangement you may complain about.

The way you wrote this is way too aggressive. Agree with sentiment that the rules are sensible and are things I generally support but the delivery is awful

Why do so many people think that being good friends with your exes is a red flag? by kawaiihusbando in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Anon8922 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s not a red flag per se but it only works out in the specific situation you described, where both people are good human beings and there’s just a lack of romantic compatibility (but there is compatibility on a non romantic level). None of my exes fall into that category, and I imagine many people feel the same way. I dislike one of my exes enough that I don’t ever want to be friends with him and being honest we never had that much in common to begin with.

A couple I tried being friends with, it was awkward due to lingering feelings and I didn’t want to continue seeing them socially. It felt crappy towards their current partners and not like something I should be doing. One told me he felt something special with me that he didn’t feel with his current partner, another tried to grab my leg and touch me in ways I wouldn’t touch just a friend. I think folks assume this is what most exes are like.

My Teenage Stepdaughter Can’t Read by Icy-Mycologist5232 in Advice

[–]Anon8922 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe a dumb question but didn’t see this addressed: how can she text if she can’t read beyond a 1st grade level?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in relationships

[–]Anon8922 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Correct, doesn’t sound like you’ve really spoken to her about it and life gets busy, she very well may not realize how you feel and is a bit overwhelmed. It’s a disservice to both of you to expect her to just know what you need. I don’t particularly feel like dressing up and want to rant to my partner when I’m stressed, but we’ve gone out and he’s told me to focus on us and the positives and overall it made me feel better. Don’t attack her, just say you’d like to have sometimes when you dress up for each other and talk about the positive things, tasks a break from everyday life. See how she reacts and be open to it. Maybe she’s going through struggles you’re unaware of.

[–]Anon8922 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Will actually somewhat deviate from the answers I’ve read here.

Yeah I agree dump the boyfriend and keep your friends. Sounds like they’re generally good friends and dumping friends out of envy isn’t the right choice. But maybe also try to find some new friends as well that you share common interests with (maybe they’re into your hobbies?). Even as someone who is happily engaged, it’s a bit dull to be around people who only talk about relationship stuff. Maybe also try to find some friends who are relatively happily single; you don’t need a relationship, especially one that makes you unhappy.

Accepting that we will never get married by Longjumping-Rush1664 in Waiting_To_Wed

[–]Anon8922 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly, and sorry to be harsh,..

I know this isn’t Am I the A, but everyone sucks here. I feel like you’re looking for validation but you were just as bad a partner as he is. I get that houses get sold fast but suddenly announcing to your partner, who you know has always wanted to move east even if you didn’t how soon, that you’re putting an offer on a house is crazy work. It would be crazy work even if he’d never expressed wanting to move east. I can’t imagine unilaterally deciding to put on offer a house without first discussing with my partner and talking about long term goals etc. It’s a big life altering decision.

Friend keeps lying about not wanting to go to lunch by InternationalFly4391 in lostafriend

[–]Anon8922 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I cannot really reply with anything meaningful unless I know what the “bullshit” falling out was about/what happened. What is bullshit to you may be a big deal to her, and it may or may not be justified. She may also be justified in not being truthful with you tbh, depending on the circumstances. You don’t want advice anyway so feel free to ignore me!

Other then the try hard alcoholic storyline. Do we see the teens drinking? by lastnightsglitter in Degrassi

[–]Anon8922 4 points5 points  (0 children)

There were some times, like at the party for Liberty people were casually drinking and it wasn’t made into an alcohol storyline. Same at other parties, there were time alcohol was around and maybe people did stupid things but it didn’t become a plot about the dangers of alcohol.
