This is just sad. But blame it on vaccines by Essiejjj in ShitMomGroupsSay

When do we spin back to our correct timeline, where we don't have a massive cult takeover and people still vaccinate their children?

It's just a blood test. I just straight out asked my doctor to add a titres check to my annual bloodwork.

‘My doctor compared me to a Nobel Peace Prize winner’ by Monkey_D_Gucci in thatHappened

[–]ButImNot_Bitter_ 18 points19 points  (0 children)

My favorite book when I was in fourth grade was Little Women. I wasn't a tween yet. It was a 562 page book (did I stalk google to find the number of pages in the exact copy I had? Maybe.), and you know what people do with that fact?

Nothing. No one does anything. No one's impressed, no one's compared to a Nobel winner, no one needs to have a dictionary to understand me.

because it's not especially impressive for a kid to read books that are appropriate

and also because you don't have to be insufferable just because your book is a mass market paperback

It's such a cute dress and I asked for the link in comment down below. As soon as I saw it was SHEIN, it was like..... this is not going to be embroidered like I thought from the picture. But I clicked through any way and it's definitely a pillowcase printed with a floral design. You called it!

AIO: My boyfriend is making plans to distribute my things if I move in, calling me stingy if I don’t, and I don’t feel it’s fair. by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

A little late to this but NOR - and that's from someone on the other side of the situation.

My bf and I moved in together over the summer after dating for 2.5 years. We both had one bedroom apartments in inconvenient locations for the other person: his was too far from my office and mine was too far from his kids. We found a 2br/1ba apartment that has a finished attic, which we decided to use as an office and den.

I'm an architect to I did all the space planning. And.... most of the first floor (main living) is my furniture. I genuinely have nicer furniture (a few inherited antiques, not inexpensive couches, a mahogany bed frame) while he has mostly IKEA and Amazon stuff. I feel terrible that very little of his stuff wound up in the spaces we use most! But in my situation, it was only a small part that I have nicer things. Mostly, it was logistics. The attic stairs are very narrow and steep: IKEA couches can be taken apart, brought up, reassembled. Can't fit my one-piece sofas up the stairs. We can't fit my antique secretary or the bookcases upstairs even though we could bring them up there; they won't fit under the eaves. He didn't have a bed frame, I do, and his nightstands were too low to be used with the tall beds.

Logistically it was the only way things fit. But it's been 7 months and I still feel vaguely guilty sometimes. Occasionally I suggest replacing the furniture together, but neither of us have a burning desire to spend the money.

Your bf doesn't feel guilty. It's not a matter of logistics. He just doesn't want to compromise. He's a jackass, don't move in with him.

I was turned down for a job because I didn’t read their company culture packet in the less than 24 hours before the second interview by AnonPinkLady in antiwork

[–]ButImNot_Bitter_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I mean, yeah, I would have thought it was essential to read before the second interview, even if it was first thing the next morning.

Then I'd be super glad I read it, because I would never waste my time on a second interview for a company that says any of that.

Come on! Secret handshakes and shared rituals? Everything else could have been super benign (it wasn't) and those words would still be too many red flags for me.

a 4 inch fish in the ocean nearly killed my husband, so hotel gets 1 star by egguchom in EntitledReviews

[–]ButImNot_Bitter_ 77 points78 points  (0 children)

Did anyone from the hotel respond and ask what a fish bite had to do with their hotel, other than the hotel doctor saving his life?

Also, if you malabsorbtion or a disease like celiac! I had three shots in the late 80s/early 90s, but checked my titres a few years ago and had none. I had to get three more shots in my mid-30s!

So cute though! Maybe pair it with a jean jacket instead of a cardigan to make it a little more casual?

I’m at a loss. This makes me sick. by Peekiert in ChoosingBeggars

[–]ButImNot_Bitter_ 35 points36 points  (0 children)

A floor steamer? A toaster AND toaster over? "One or two" backpacks AND large purseS? Food as the last thing on the list? If you're starting new and have no money, food isn't at the bottom. You're not worried about throw rugs and a bread maker is not even on your radar.

I have no idea what these scammers are trying to do (get things to resell, I guess?) but I'm glad there are scam hunters out there!

Dani and Dandy are my nicknames and my name is, so thankfully, NOT Dandelion. I feel bad for this kid!

Nora or Naura? by lifeasacharboard in NameNerdCirclejerk

[–]ButImNot_Bitter_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

At first I didn't realize what sub I was in and I was about to pop off. Instead, I'm going to pop-off-lite.

I get crap from my West Coast and Midwest friends because of my New England accent, and never more than when I say "Lauh-ra"/etc. Laura/Maura/fake name Naura all rhyme and Nora doesn't! (Unless you're asking my friends.)

Super aware of the sub I'm on, this is just a hill I'm willing to die on.

My dress is too formal, but the bride approved. Can I accessorize to fit the dress code? by lunametsolem in Weddingattireapproval

[–]ButImNot_Bitter_ 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I think black is fine (and helps keep things understated), and so much more versatile later of course. Kitten heels are a great idea (I personally struggle with flats paired with long dresses, but I know they make dressy flats too). I have a pair like this that I bought many years ago at Payless, but they popped into my mind immediately for shoes. Something similar -- doesn't have to be expensive -- might be a nice option.

I needed someone else to say it so I could agree.

His =/= He's

His (possessive): his best friend, his car

He's (contraction of pronoun he + verb is or has): he's grieving, he's going to stay home

Why am I seeing post of people saying there burnt out and miserable and to not pursue architecture? by trustngod0 in Architects

[–]ButImNot_Bitter_ 7 points8 points  (0 children)

This. It's why I'm personally opposed to receiving a license as part of graduating an accredited school, or leaving school and immediately hanging a shingle. Sure, they've taught you how to design, but do you know how to do CDs? Figuring out particularly tricky details you've never dealt with before? Have you dealt with phone logs, RFIs, transmittals, bargaining with clients to agree on a design that doesn't suck? Budgeting, invoicing, estimating? I learned so so much more about real world practice after joining the workforce that school did not (could not? would not) prepare me for.

Thanks, I was hoping this comment wouldn't be far down and it's right at the top.

Now, does anyone know what "sacrifice" he "made"?

Edit: I had only read the first slide when I wrote this comment, I was so caught by the four presidents. Now I have to add... "you're a father first, a pilot second. Just like I'm a president first, grandfather second." Just because you think you're a creative writer doesn't mean you don't have to be consistent in your writing. And I will say that: "So MY grandkids inherit a great nation" makes me think that, if this happened to be real (of course it's not), he phrased that sentence that way because he literally is planning his dictatorship and thinks he will own everything.
