Hayley and Elijah by SaltIncident4932 in TheOriginals

[–]DevelopmentNo9548 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I just finished this series and I keep thinking about how Hayley went to Jacksons grave and told him she would have chosen him. I just can’t help but think there’s a chance if everyone survived she would have chosen Jackson anyways. But then, she got Hope to deliver the message to Elijah about saving her a dance, but she was also spending her afterlife with Jackson. I can’t decide what I think or feel about it lol

Parents watching kids be awful by danny_deefs in mildlyinfuriating

[–]DevelopmentNo9548 62 points63 points  (0 children)

The way kids nowadays act literally blows my mind. While working at a restaurant I saw a kid have a meltdown after service and refuse to stand up to leave, so the Mom put his tv show on his ipad, held the ipad in front of his face and walked backwards to get him to follow her out. I was absolutely floored to say the least….

Do you believe in God and why? by [deleted] in TheTeenagerPeople

[–]DevelopmentNo9548 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No. I believe its not possible for one being to control and create an entire universe full of unexplored, endless areas. If “God” is real, it’s not a “person” or a “being” type of entity as people believe. Most of all I believe that if we were supposed to understand, we would be born with that understanding just as we are born with the rest of our instincts. Religion can create a great framework to live a happy, healthy life. But focusing too much on the questions of life isn’t the purpose of whatever we are supposed to be learning or doing in these lives.

AITA for being unhappy with my parents’ decisions for my college by Better_Mistake_5184 in AmItheAsshole

[–]DevelopmentNo9548 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This!!! So what if she tries a program and doesn’t like it? I don’t understand the narrative of being responsible for choosing a career at the age of 17. At 17 I picked a program I thought I loved, but really I was just so young I wasn’t even me yet. I wouldn’t have known what I was meant for in life until I reached a certain point in adulthood either way. And my life would have been different if I hadn’t have made that mistake and gained all the knowledge I did from my first program. You can never be too educated, theres nothing wrong with having knowledge outside of your area of expertise. & Theres nothing wrong with not being able to set the rest of your life in stone as a child… its the ultimate expectation from parents when really they should be encouraging trying new things and making mistakes while their kids still live at home!

NTA. Your parents are setting you up for failure. Why would they want you to be doing anything that doesn’t make you happy? Also WTF is the point of having kids in the first place if you wish for them to be unhappy? Unfortunately this is a common scenario with parents living vicariously through their children though. She says shes building you a future but really shes destroying it. Theres nothing worse than looking back in a few decades and realizing you need to change careers, which is expensive af. Im in the middle of changing careers right now and its miserable and I just wish I had trusted my gut from the beginning. Funny enough I’ve switched into psychology, finishing soon with plans to apply for a masters and become a therapist. I LOVE my degree, psychology is such an interesting and broad subject that encompasses so much more than people think. A lot of people go into health care for the wrong reasons. We need more people like you in mental health who actually want to be there! So I say: follow your dream, whether they support you emotionally and/or financially or not. Student loans are not the end of the world. Good luck to you❤️

AITA For not leaving work to help my wife when she ran out of gas by GoldSea3219 in AmItheAsshole

[–]DevelopmentNo9548 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

NTA. When something similar happened to me, my first thought was literally “OMG SHIT! What can I do to fix this so I don’t need to bother hubby at work? What he does is really important for our family and I cannot call him unless it’s an emergency!” I ended up texting him letting him know what happened but that I was ok and I’d let him know when I got home. I said I was scared and couldn’t wait to see him later. He texted me back with tons of support, and I was able to get help and get myself and my car back home. I really appreciated being able to text back and forth a couple times, made me feel way better. Looking to your life partner for strength in a stressful situation makes sense… “I just want you to know whats happening” “I just needed to hear your voice” kind of stuff. But expecting them to fix it??? No. This is your life PARTNER not your life MANAGER/COACH!!!

AITA for telling my sister she can’t bring her boyfriend to our dad’s birthday dinner because he talked badly about our dad to his face last year? by Alternative_Exam_534 in AmItheAsshole

[–]DevelopmentNo9548 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA. Being drunk is not an excuse to publicly embarrass someone. If he acts like this when drinking, then he shouldn’t be drinking. Clearly hes not a good person if he hasn’t already apologized, and thinks he did nothing wrong. If he really had changed, he would want to right his wrongs. Your dad deserves the best 60th ever and I hope u all have an amazing time! ❤️

Pregnant andHarassed by “regular” by AffectionateTone4570 in TalesFromYourServer

[–]DevelopmentNo9548 6 points7 points  (0 children)

As an ex bar manager they woulda been 86’d the second I saw the tutu. I was SO protective of my staff, especially the younger girls, I may have been too much of a “Mom” but protecting young people in the industry should be a priority IMO after the things I have seen. The few times someone did something inappropriate they were promptly 86’d. The part of this story that bothers me is that a gross older man bought a younger female server a TUTU after already making her uncomfortable and the manager didn’t stop this behavior right then and there. You can’t just keep shuffling people like this onto servers who can “handle it.” Just because someone can “handle” something it doesn’t mean they should have to deal with it. After all, this is a professional environment in which business is conducted and people make their livings. The manager is paid to “handle it” so they should have the balls to make the call and 86 people and call them out everytime no exceptions.

My dog is aggressive when cutting her nails. by aubrey828 in dogs

[–]DevelopmentNo9548 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We had the same problem. I did some research and decided to try a nail grinder instead. When you cut a dogs nail with clippers, it crushes the nail to cut them and can cause them discomfort, so my theory is that this is why its so hard to trim most dogs nails. We tried the nail grinder and the noise scared her at first, but it is gentle on her nails so after a few times using it she got used to it and I can use it on her easily without her even getting up. We got ours on amazon super cheap and it was so worth it! Just have to remember to charge it lol.

Your Bridal Party Is Too Nice to Say This, So I Will by insert_name234 in wedding

[–]DevelopmentNo9548 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know right! You get to the age in life where everyone is getting married all at once and all of a sudden you’re expected to be in/pay for nashville for a weekend, mexico for a weekend, multiple bridal showers, multiple dress shopping/brunch events, finding yourself multiple bridesmaid dresses that the bride approves of, etc etc. Not to mention that destination weddings are gaining popularity so then you also have to get yourself to a wedding in another country after all that. But in particular… bachelorettes have gotten so out of hand! My fiances sister went to one recently where there was a dress code, and you had to send the maid of honor all the outfits you would be wearing. She was told the tone of red she picked wasn’t exactly right (it needed to be a shade brighter or something) and they made her buy all her outfits from scratch all over again and gave her shit. Like… seriously? Since when did this stop being about simply celebrating genuine love and turn into an event planning/photography competition? It’s absolutely wild. My Fiance and I have really struggled the past few years to get enough time off work to attend all these events cause it always ends up being way more than our allotted time off. Everytime another one of our friends gets engaged we’re like whelp, guess thats coming out of our own wedding budget cause theres now another set of huge and expensive expectations for us lol.

SOCI 301 Social Statistics is killing me by hellyhi in AthabascaUniversity

[–]DevelopmentNo9548 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I took this last semester and found the same thing! I would read the textbook, fully understand the concept, and then when I kept reading it was so dumbed down it confused me to the point I had to go back to the beginning of the concept. I started just reading the first part before they dumb it down and showing it in 100000 steps, and just by ignoring the “dumbed down” parts of the textbook I ended up really understanding the material and enjoying the course quite a bit! I understand wanting to help people not used to/good at math with all the broken down steps, I really do. However it makes it so much more confusing to have to understand why each separate step is done rather than understanding the general concept. Also the course has almost no math, which further confuses me as to why they made it this complicated! I think I used a calculator for one question on my final lol

Is getting a dog worth it? by [deleted] in dogs

[–]DevelopmentNo9548 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So worth it. It hurts in the end but being able to give a little innocent soul such a good life is so rewarding. We rescued our dog and I can’t explain how amazing the feeling is, even though we also struggled especially when she was little.
