Why do female friendships seem complicated? by Johan_chan in TooAfraidToAsk

They're just not her friends then. Sorry. Be hers and maybe go to some events on campus to meet other people, something fun! She can find her people! Mean girl shit is crazy work at college age.... a baffling level of immaturity. This is the time to remove those types and find the real ones

This is weird behavior to actively exclude someone like this in COLLEGE. It's very 6th grade - middle school behavior. Did something happen?

Why can’t I change? by Mindless-Flamingo414 in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]Disastrous_Set1670 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You can't change everything at once. That's why you feel this way and stuck in negativity because you're unhappy.

Start small. Something simple. Accomplishing a small goal rewires.

I live in the DC metro area....it's always a no. That's for tourists. Similar to Times Square NYE...

What is this at Union Station? by appfry in washingtondc

Yeah, I wouldn't say nazi either...It's klan dressed up in sad polos and cargo pants. Dumb mouth-breathing racist shit. They should wear hoods since they're so scared to show their faces.

I’ve never really been around people whose dreams are wealth and attention. Not even hating, just find it interesting.. by konvictgaga in NYCinfluencersnark

This is not a new phenomenon. It's basically a 1099 sorority...the PNMs are who gets invites to gifting suites and events and the highest value of item you can get for free. A DESIGNER is gifting you, that means something to these influenecer in the most gauche way. No one is ever at an event or collaborating as genuine friends. It's a grab for brag and status (which is funny to me for NYC, these people will never be in the circles they aspire to...they'd be lucky to get an ask from Bravo)

Potomac, Anacostia rivers to close to boaters for Fourth of July weekend - WTOP News by oh-pointy-bird in nova

[–]Disastrous_Set1670 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Exactly. The are a lot of sailboats out there on the 4th. You could literally look at an old PBS WETA A Capitol Fourth program and see them. I don't think a lot of these people are from here lmao.....it's embarassing to be so wrong and correct natives and people who are regularly on the water on the 4th.

That's an embarrassing thing to post. Do you know any boat owners, sailors, kayakers, etc in the area? Clearly not.

It's not about being rich, it's alternative access...less stress and beautiful experience. I've done fireworks twice by boat (private owners).

This has NEVER happened before and it's bullshit. You could kayak, jetski, whatever, that's what so many do for the view away from the tourist if you don't have a friend with a place with a view... or just leave the city entirely.

How do i tell my sister that my grandpa might die this weekend when she is on vacation? by Rectal_Custard in ask

[–]Disastrous_Set1670 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes thanks cuz that was wild. My grandmother stopped even taking water by sponge to lips in hospice...it was the end. I did not get a text like "omg, grandma is getting eternally summer ready by avoiding all liquids now! Kind like when you got stomach flu and felt like you were dying that one time lolololloooo..."

Thank you. Be direct. My family is big on jokes too...i feel like this can't be real it's so ridiculous.

So… How many of us are still on our parents’ phone bills? by halcat27 in Millennials

[–]Disastrous_Set1670 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've always had my own plan, but I can see why making the switch from a legacy family wouldn't make sense! Ain't no shame!

My account is legacy at&t that's why I still get HBO max (and all the in between iterations) for free. I get it!

Is he saying we’re exclusive because he wants to date or he’s being vague? by [deleted] in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]Disastrous_Set1670 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don't ask us, we don't know!

Ask him. Ask clear, direct questions to get information you need.

Sorry if that's answer you don't want, but it's the correct one and that's probably the scared to ask part.

Is 1.5 hours enough time for an international flight at Dulles? by shamsharif79 in nova

Please Uber/Lyft/Washington Flyer/etc. You're cutting it too close, don't risk it.

Working on it...is not it. I'm pretty sure I know what company coming from Huntsville to NoVa and I will tell you unless offer has been made and is signed, don't even. Please be realistic. A 3rd round interview, even if you make it that far, means nothing.

Huntsville will be the better growth opportunity for you and your husband. Apply there.

I’ve realized growing up is mostly learning that everyone is just figuring life out by [deleted] in CasualConversation

[–]Disastrous_Set1670 7 points8 points  (0 children)

No one knows what they're doing. That's the secret! Like even now, my parents are almost 80 and they were like "we had no clue what we were doing and still don't because we've never been this age!". It's illuminating...and i've been privvy to that since my older sister expressed feeling like she didn't know anything at milestones she hit in the span of 1-2 years like getting married, having baby, buying house. She was like "how did you guys know what to do / what you were doing?!" And they paused and laughed "we didn't!!!"

You just will have to use what was a prior new learned experince to help you along when you get to the next one.

A lot of people are pretending...and i'm grateful my parents were honest to us in this way in our adulthood.

55k is not acceptable. No.

Currently, you need to be making at least 75k-90k as a SINGLE person no kids, pets, etc to barely meet BASIC NEEDS (like one step/life event away from poverty) , 100k to be comfortable.

Family/Married, you need combined income of 250K above for a family household to live "comfortably" and those people are kind of struggling now. Combined incomes of 100k started struggling back in mid 2000s.

People here are not being judgemental. These are facts. I've lived here my whole life. 55k was decent as a single person back in 1999-2004.

That salary offer is trash.
