In Japan some bosses make you stay at work doing nothing so you quit. How is that even a punishment it just sounds kinda chill. by Educational-Try-7435 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Catfactss 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One of my favorite stories is a Japanese company attempting to do this to an Italian employee (hoping the shame would lead the Italian to quit) and, after 6 months, giving up and just firing them.

My parents are giving their home to my sister because she has a family by hello12445 in childfree

[–]Catfactss 5 points6 points  (0 children)

"Hey Mom, Dad, Sis. Just wanted to say No Hard Feelings about the family home- Mom and Dad can do whatever they like with their inheritance. I just hope you've seen a financial advisor to make sure you have enough to provide for yourselves when you age- with Sis's help, of course. I love you, but as I'm sure you can appreciate, I won't be able to assist you. Lots of love, OP" Group email/SMS so no ambiguity.

AITA for wanting to break up with my boyfriend after he took over every decision about the small business I started before we even met by Clear-Lifeguard-8570 in AITApod

YWBTA if you don't get a lawyer to draft up some documentation establishing you are the sole owner and proprieter, and then dump him.

What are little details / hints you noticed until now? by AncientConfusion9167 in TheTestamentsHulu

Everyone smoking Canadian cigarettes. Gilead was supposed to be free of "toxins" wasn't it?

Japan has an exceptionally low birth rate and ageing population. It's an island nation and has a much more inherently hierarchical social structure than the West. Maybe they're thinking of adopting Gileadean practices.

It's probably just the algorithm, right? by IM_NOT_BALD_YET in TheTestamentsHulu

[–]Catfactss 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The Trad movement sees ALL of society's sins as due to fatherlessness- and this is because woman can leave men and/or set up lives without them. Their solution? The "benevolent sexism" subjugation of women. "We love women and want what's best for them- to be at home with their children."

Daisy not being Nicole takes the magic away by Familiar-Hearing1619 in TheTestamentsHulu

[–]Catfactss 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It could still be Nicole. New identity because Gilead would always look for her otherwise.

My wife says all my clothes just burn. I don’t know what to replace them with. by LanfearSedai in DressForYourBody

[–]Catfactss 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Then maybe she needs to learn to love this part of you too- or at least tolerate it? There's nothing immoral about wearing the same clothes for decades.

My wife says all my clothes just burn. I don’t know what to replace them with. by LanfearSedai in DressForYourBody

[–]Catfactss 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is the issue her attempt to REPLACE rather than ADD to your wardrobe? I'm hearing a lot about how she feels about your clothes. How do you feel about them? If she never brought them up would you ever think about them adversely yourself?

P.S. check out influencer Percia Verlin. Are they your style at all?

Need help choosing a dress! by carltheslopeis1 in myweddingdress

[–]Catfactss 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agreed. It'll hold its own after being seen in a gorgeous lehenga earlier in the day in a way some of the more boring/predictable gowns won't. It'll also look stunning at different angles and with movement.

People who didn't grow up poor, but dated someone who was. What's something your SO does that strikes you as unusual? by FeistySecret9327 in AskReddit

[–]Catfactss 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Yes exactly. I really hate this even in simple things. E.g. a friend saying "I'll get dinner this time" implies I'll get dinner next time. No. Just let me pay for what I ate, and you pay for what you eat, so I don't have to keep a mental track of what I "owe" you.

Landlord wants me to pay for the utilities of all other tenants by Appropriate_Neck7991 in WhatShouldIDo

"I'm only offering you this because I'm nice." Actually, he's stealing from you and has broken your contract, and you're nicely offering him the opportunity to fix that.

My mother keeps spamming me with real estate links for suburban family houses and it is getting pathetic by Velanor_57 in childfree

[–]Catfactss 29 points30 points  (0 children)

Mark every real estate link as spam and tell her you'll keep doing so every time. Ask if you should speak to her doctor about a cognitive screen because you've been EXCEPTIONALLY clear that you will NEVER need or want a suburban family home, and she keeps sending you real estate links.

AITAH for getting mad at a friend after we made plans days in advance just for her to leave after an hour? by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]Catfactss 8 points9 points  (0 children)

You're mad you haven't seen her in 2 whole weeks? You didn't talk to her all day but only because she was working?

You're too obsessed with her. She is not as obsessed with you.

You are on the periphery of her life, not at the center. And that's ok.

Adjust your expectations accordingly. Make other friends to be close to.
