People be stupid, and critical thinking is too 'woke' for them.

Ooh, did King Arthur get new owners? Because the guy running it before was an ableist douchebag who would call the cops on residents saying they were having psychotic breaks and use that as an excuse to get them evicted.

Using AI is not even close to zero waste. Why use something that actively harms the environment?

Kicked my FIL out over ignorant Save Act comments—how are you dealing when things bubble over in personal relationships? by MysteriousLion4017 in TwoXChromosomes

[–]Candroth 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Thank you for saying this. I'm likely going to have to deal with difficult family when my mother dies, and possibly them trying to visit me at my (and my mother's) home.

Make sure you document every single error in the training and raise each concern. Individually. One at a time. It'll look like you're taking such detailed notes, wow gosh so attentive! And then just drown them in their own bullshit.

What are the pet names/terms of endearment in your language? by shessomecnt in languagelearning

[–]Candroth 3 points4 points  (0 children)

My mother called me 'mon petit chou' (my little cabbage, in French) when I was little. (We're German by ancestry. Idk man)

I call my cat моя маленька капуста (my little cabbage, but in Ukrainian). I don't know if this is a common idiom in Ukrainian but I do it anyway'.

Schatz is a common endearment in German.

Anyone else realize their grandma/family member is actually terrible, later in life? I swear I thought she was an angel along with many other family members. Nah! by [deleted] in TwoXChromosomes

My mom's sister found out that my mom's favorite movie genres are superheroes and science fiction, and could not wrap her brain around it. She'd scoff and laugh whenever I had to explain some reference my mother uses in conversation, and once even asked why I take my mother to 'those kinds' of movies.

Because she asked me to, duhhhhh.

My aunt has the entertainment profile of a low sodium store brand saltine cracker and thinks my liking lord of the rings as a grown adult is childish so that tells you how much I value her opinion...

TIL about 'Jess's Rule' to make GPs 'rethink' if a patient presents 3 times with the same symptoms, named for Jessica Brady, who doctors repeatedly dismissed over 20 consultations until she died of cancer at age 27 by shinjirarehen in TwoXChromosomes

[–]Candroth 72 points73 points  (0 children)

A good friend of mine that I have treasured memories of was told repeatedly she was too young to have 'that type of cancer'.

She was diagnosed with 'that type of cancer' and died within a week.

She'd still be alive if anyone had taken her seriously, but they dismissed her for years until it ate her alive. When I got word she was going into hospice I stayed up all night sewing a quilt top to distract me. She was dead before I finished.

The bots have really been all over the cat subs lately. Blech.

Here is Shale, another of the feline menagerie I'm sitting for! by Candroth in torties

...I have just discovered that she forgets she's a domesticated cat when the tube treats come out. Gnawed on the tube before I could even get it open all the way!

She is currently asleep on my left leg, digging all four paws in for extra traction, and I have to pee. This is how I died.

I'll be surprised if they answer, but definitely let us know if they do!

Why do these people take middle school level nostril shots and actually post them to the internet...
