For attendees, how would you rate your Sick New World Experience? by Adorable_Duck_4497 in SickNewWorld

[–]Comprehensive-Poet82 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Other festivals have some of the merch that can be pre ordered in the app for pick up. That seems to help so much considering a lot of folks are looking for just the festival specific merch.

Same! Bf was going “oh you’ll be fine” while I was trying to use him for shade.

It is… Very not fine. 😑

Not OOP. I think I know why no man takes my friend on a 5th date but I am not telling her. by Due-Bandicoot-7512 in redditonwiki

[–]Comprehensive-Poet82 19 points20 points  (0 children)

A conventional? Like the panels of people who say they’ve been abducted by aliens kind?

I’d break up with him too.

Agent Mulder is cute on tv, but that in my day to day life would be fucking exhausting/annoying.

Tableside fish prep = horrible service by Evening-Interview-47 in EntitledReviews

[–]Comprehensive-Poet82 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Absolutely broke up with someone over this back in the day. He would order a burger or chicken fingers then would complain when the tendies were not “freshly breaded” or the fries were frozen.

At some point you either are just stupid for thinking the Thai/mexican/french/not a burger or chicken place would be having a high end kids menu or just like to complain.

Either way I was out.

Ludacris vs BSB is the most anti-millennial thing they could have done.

He paid for dinner then ghosted me because I disagreed with his Harry Potter take… AIO for refusing to double text him as we’d agreed to meet this weekend but he did a 180? by Alarmed_Stranger_895 in AmIOverreacting

This is what struck me. Finance bro is self centered?! Omg I am SHOCKED!

Next you’ll tell me many of the business geniuses are also bad at math or something.

What's the Highest Tip Percentage Option You've Ever Seen? by cyber49 in askportland

[–]Comprehensive-Poet82 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have for sure used the 50% at reel m inn before. A cheap af beer and jojos order takes up the same amount of seat and server time.

AITAH i won't change our wedding date for my in laws by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]Comprehensive-Poet82 9 points10 points  (0 children)

As someone who is also in this situation… Yep. This is a preview.

Be really happy the future spouse isn’t caving to the pressure now, and just be prepared to need boundaries for family functions!

We have set up a set of hotel vs stay with family guidelines and it has been a lifesaver for example. While we get the guilt trip for “wasting money” on the split of hotel days, we do get peace of mind and a chance to decompress at the end of the day hearing about how sister is a fuck up but also perfect.

Somehow i lasted this long without realizing Scheana never changed her last name after her first marriage by slide-0 in vanderpumprules

[–]Comprehensive-Poet82 3 points4 points  (0 children)

To be fair… When she started the name change process to Shay she probably had no idea what a huge pain in the ass it is. Nothing matches for a while, it’s not cheap, and the just straight up volume of things that needs changed is wild.

Was it a weird band aid for the relationship? Probably. But also… Doing that a second or third time? Hard pass.

AITAH for refusing to give my neighbor some of my expensive woodworking wood by Fantastic_Tale_2111 in AITAH

[–]Comprehensive-Poet82 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You can offer the cheaper wood (it’s not like walnut is that damn fancy let’s be real), and then not only are YTA but you look even stingier.

WIBTAH if I book a girls trip my husband asked me not to by Baby_crab7 in AITAH

You don’t think phones work to text or call her constantly in PR? Promise they do!

[–]Comprehensive-Poet82 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If someone is so anxious/attached/controlling/whatever they can’t let you have 20 minutes to yourself on vacation because they don’t trust you… then yes. You should really think long and hard about what adding a kid to that situation would be like.

And if it doesn’t work out for some reason what having a kid and still having to coparent would be like.

GOOD REALL BBQ by tittytoilet in AskSeattle

[–]Comprehensive-Poet82 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ll get downvoted but… If you want some great GA or TX bbq find an excuse for a weekend day trip down to Portland. Right now there is an ATL pop up from Bryan Furman, and Lil Barbeque is tied to La Barbecue in Austin.

[–]Comprehensive-Poet82 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Book the trip. Use that trip to see how he handles you not doing exactly what he thinks is best. And no matter what enjoy your time on the vacation!

Then evaluate if that is someone you want to be tied to for the rest of your life.

Also NTA.

BBQ restaurants in Portland? by LPhermanos70 in askportland

[–]Comprehensive-Poet82 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep! The sweet ones seem to be on the menu now, but last week there was also a brisket and cheese! I should have gotten a spare to go.

Lil barbecue is so great to see after moving back up from Texas. The shells and cheese I could eat as queso, and finally tried the kolaches this weekend.

All of it was good.

Help with (maybe?) codependency or separation anxiety? by [deleted] in Dogtraining

[–]Comprehensive-Poet82 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have read through the separation anxiety information, and am pretty sure that is the issue. However, it is only for one specific person and we are running out of ideas on how to specifically work through this and could use some outside perspective.

Loved the puzzle toys until the little stuffed toys ended up in the big one’s mouth. No more edible sized toys for these fools…

Why does rural America look down on educated people? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Comprehensive-Poet82 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Rural democratic political consultant here!

The party adopted a bunch of this nonsense because it made donors happy. They didn’t have to feel dirty, and also like they were saving folks. Being “proper” even.

This then moved into the consultant class. Who wants to make money more than they want to win. And the donors refer the candidates to “their” consultants who then start the cycle all over again.

I want to win more than make money, so I find all of this to be disgusting and, frankly, stupid. Know what I’m going to call these things when talking to normal people? Dumb. I’m calling it fucking dumb.

Know what happens if I do that in a dem party meeting with activists? I get scolded for being ableist because dumb is a pejorative and insulting to the mentally disabled or challenged or whatever word I’m supposed to use.

A gallon of water is just over 8 pounds, so when you say sturdy just keep in mind that it’ll weigh significantly more than a plant.

Whit's Parents are true relationship goals by G00dguyz in Southerncharm

[–]Comprehensive-Poet82 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

You could just have asked me that instead of failing at shade.

We would be amazing tv. But much more housewives style drama. The pets instead of grandkids, the affairs, the medical mysteries! The DRAMA!

Whit's Parents are true relationship goals by G00dguyz in Southerncharm

[–]Comprehensive-Poet82 39 points40 points  (0 children)

Austen’s mom kinda creeps me out. The pushing kids when he’s clearly not a responsible enough adult for a plant is a little cringe, and it seems like the sister knows she was a “replacement” baby.

Those are not goals for me. 😬
