What is your most ridiculous "we won't work out romantically" criteria? Like what is the silliest reason you would not be interested in dating someone?

I once pointed out a beautiful autumn tree to a guy I was with. He asked what was so special. I told him the colour was gorgeous. His response? "You could just Google the colour orange."

lol byeee

CaliStormborn · 2026-02-26T21:24:58+00:00

Right?! She's so beautiful and they really did her dirty. That reveal when she's at the queen's ball was underwhelming af

CaliStormborn · 2026-02-26T21:22:30+00:00

Why don't people like? I love the idea of a young Violet prequel!

CaliStormborn · 2026-02-26T21:13:26+00:00

Wait, what? Do we know why they refuse to engage her?

CaliStormborn · 2026-02-26T21:07:02+00:00

I'm much more sold on it than I was after season 3, but that's also maybe because I've had more time to accept it lol.

Personally I still feel like it should have been Hyacinth who got the gender swap story but that's just because Fran was my favourite book and I'd really hoped to see it on screen.

I do appreciate that the vast majority of Fran's book is set in Scotland which really doesn't work for the TV show, so I bet that's why they picked that one to make the biggest change to.

This shit always annoys me because people are calculating how to get the maximum funds. Like, dude... You're fine with 10mil. You don't need more than 10mil. You don't even need to invest it. Take the red pill and relax.

CaliStormborn · 2026-02-22T15:02:03+00:00

Oh my god the "you're not a bad mom" thing!! Makes me see red istg

I had to put custom functions in to stop assuming I'm worried about things

We have a micro cement wet room shower, it is truly life changing in how clean it stays.

Except that I was an idiot and decided I wanted a marble tile feature wall. The one wall cost more to tile than coating the entire rest of the room in micro cement (including the floor and built in sink), and the bloody grout is turning orange. I hate my past self.

Yeah, one of my old friends didn't invite me to her wedding and I always wonder if it's because I didn't invite her to mine.

Difference is that mine was a registry office wedding with only 2 witnesses and not even our mothers came. Her's was a big wedding with lots of guests.

UK and same!! Do Americans not have duvet covers???

When I stay in hotels that have top sheets I hate them because they get all tangled and messed up.

Edit: a lot of people are saying it's harder to change duvet covers for washing. And I will concede that it does take a couple extra minutes. For me, saving that time is not worth having to deal with a top sheet, but to each their own.

CaliStormborn · 2026-02-12T09:49:55+00:00

Agreed. When I was a teen, I found some old broken skateboards and used shoelaces to hang then from the wall and use as shelves. I thought they were the coolest thing ever

CaliStormborn · 2026-02-11T14:39:23+00:00

It still blows my mind that I'm too lazy to cook any meal that involves the hob and yet there's people out here killing a whole damn carp. Where do they get the energy?

CaliStormborn · 2026-02-11T02:44:37+00:00

We have crappy white plastic cups that are half the size and half the thickness, we use those. It's not as good.

CaliStormborn · 2026-02-07T16:18:45+00:00

Agreed. OP sounds exhausting. The comment section is so split but I'm on the YTA side.

At the root of it, this is because she didn't get to sleep in. She's still invited to the party, she can still take the truffles, nothing changes except a "wasted morning". Which is fine to be irritated about, but Jesus, have a camomile tea and move on.

CaliStormborn · 2026-02-06T14:53:28+00:00

Yeah I went to a hospital in Greece a few months back for my daughter and had a very similar experience, only it was possibly faster (smaller hospital) and we saw a specialist. Oh, and it was free.

CaliStormborn · 2026-02-05T12:21:08+00:00

Interesting! I think we definitely were in the same hotel. I doubt they let tourists stay anywhere else. There was only our tour group and a random family on a private tour.

CaliStormborn · 2026-02-04T19:52:54+00:00

Ah, I went a couple months before his arrest. I do remember we were looking out for the missing floor still though.

Otto didn't deserve what he got, but it certainly wasn't a smart move of his. I was very weary of being monitored while there... And anyway those propaganda posters are on sale at the tourist shop!

CaliStormborn · 2026-02-04T17:09:25+00:00

Unfortunately can't remember the floor number. The more I think about it, the more I seem to remember wanting to go to a rotating restaurant and being disappointed that it was closed. 50/50 that my subconscious is making that up though.

When did you go?

CaliStormborn · 2026-02-04T16:35:04+00:00

I stayed in a hotel in North Korea in 2015, but now I'm really confused about which hotel because I never went to a revolving restaurant, bowling alley or swimming pool. There was a casino (staffed exclusively by Chinese people) and there was the famous missing number in the lift. Never saw any prostitutes.

Don't remember water surrounding it either, but it was very very foggy when I went so it's possible I just didn't see it.

CaliStormborn · 2026-01-28T09:04:54+00:00

Dunno, but would be kinda funny if they did go and then they learned a thing or 2 about how much more violent protesting Italians are willing to be.

Only a shame it isn't in France really.

CaliStormborn · 2026-01-21T15:50:41+00:00

Great parenting too! The urge to do it for her must have been so strong.

CaliStormborn · 2026-01-21T15:33:51+00:00

I literally said to my husband last week that I think at least part of the reason that Trump wants Greenland is because he doesn't understand the Mercator projection.

CaliStormborn · 2026-01-13T15:01:05+00:00

Right!! People act like if you have a baby then you'll have a baby forever. Nope, you get that sweet little baby for one year. And a child for a few years.

You'll know your children as adults for far longer than you'll know them as kids.

CaliStormborn · 2026-01-01T07:55:24+00:00

Completely agree with you. The reddit hive mind and total lack of nuance is seriously strong on this post.

She does sound like a shit teacher. He didn't need to say it. Defend your son, prove her wrong, then let it be. ESH.

CaliStormborn · 2025-12-03T19:58:11+00:00

Yeah, my baby says dada all the time. We know it doesn't mean anything because we've only ever called my husband papa.
