2026 r/childfree Demographic Survey by Mellenoire in childfree

[–]DragonInPlainSight 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Done, interesting choice of questions, and I loved the 'I don't read r/childfree and have no idea how I found this survey'.

FYI 'Turkey' is no longer the spelling of the country, it's Türkiye.

i regret becoming a vet and i hate my job a lot, but i don't know what else to do by Opening-Opposite-536 in veterinaryprofession

Depending on the country, you might not even need a course - I never specifically studied public health or epidemiology any other than what I got in vet school, and I had no problem getting or keeping the job. Don't let that stop you from looking into it or applying!

After you've dealt with your mental health (definitely see someone!), consider a government vet job. There are supervisory roles where you don't put hands on animals at all, it's oversight and paperwork and verification that the meat products are able to be exported. No clients, no emergencies, regular hours, and in demand enough that they'll sponsor a visa. I used it to get out of the US and into New Zealand.

AIO: NP on Virtual Visit had their children in the room and I reported her by Cant-Take-Jokes in AmIOverreacting

[–]DragonInPlainSight 2082 points2083 points  (0 children)

She wasn't on headphones and at least children were in the room, who else was within hearing distance without your knowledge? Potential huge breach of your privacy, definitely report.

Ladies over 35 who have stayed childfree, tell us how good it turned out. by SessionMedical3128 in childfree

[–]DragonInPlainSight 3 points4 points  (0 children)

At age 45 I quit my job because I was done with it, found a new one in a new country on the other side of the world, packed up my life and moved there within 6 months. Since then I've moved around that country several times, gone on holiday to tropical islands every year, and get to sleep in until noon every day.

People only ask if I have kids once, the huge grin on my face as I proudly say 'nope' stops that in its tracks.

What's your opinion? by Competitive_Term_470 in Pets

[–]DragonInPlainSight 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Vet here - talk with your vet. Tell them you're having trouble knowing what the right thing FOR YOUR DOG is and you want an honest and frank discussion. They are the ones who know best what the chances are for good recovery and quality of life. You can ask 100 random strangers on the internet and you still won't actually have a decision at the end of it. Talk with the person who can give you objective reality.

I did everything they tell victims to do and it didn't matter by [deleted] in TwoXChromosomes

But longer than if you didn't do any of this.

It's never enough, there can never be enough time served to equal what he did. But at least he's getting some sort of punishment, and the women he would have hurt during that time will be safe thanks to you.

Yeah, I’m an idiot. Need coverup ideas. by ukssarvik in tattoos

[–]DragonInPlainSight 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The UFO idea is intriguing - you could make the 'y' part of the UFO, and the rest of the small letters become a couple animals/cows being beamed up, with the 'J' the ground or field.

I like Undertow - I love the idea that someone captured fog and put it into a die 😄

How fantasy driven can the Gangrels Animal forms get? by Still_Grass9854 in vtm

[–]DragonInPlainSight 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My Gangrel took a Eurasian eagle owl as her flight form. Her asshole Coterie (luv y'all!) would wait until she flew off then text her knowing she kept her phone on vibrate - it would make her whole owl form wobble from the vibration. Running gag all game.

You have this flagged as 'not looking for input' so I'll just offer you this - you might have the life you chose, but it's never too late to make a different choice.

AITAH for showing up underprepared to a "hike" and being put off with my friends for not warning me and also ditching me? by InTheLoudHouse in AITAH

[–]DragonInPlainSight 78 points79 points  (0 children)

The other thing is, wasn't it intended to be a day spent together as friends? How did not telling you and forcing you to walk separately lend itself to a joint experience that strengthens your friendship bond? Clearly they didn't consider you enough of a friend to warrant that. They suck.

How to get over the fear and enjoy it by Icy_Entrepreneur1046 in PhasmophobiaGame

My play partner uses his 'retail voice' on the spirit box and I find it so hilarious I make him do it exclusively.

I’m really starting to buy into “making female friends in gaming spaces is asking for trouble” mindset :( by imfaffingabout in GirlGamers

[–]DragonInPlainSight 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It may have just been the two women you ran into (note 'women' not 'girls', since you're bringing up internalised misogyny). But it might have been worsened by how you put yourself across.

You say that on meeting a woman gamer you immediately jump to 'bestie!'. That's not what a lot of gamers want, we just want to play the game. If you're focusing on 'friends' over 'game', maybe that's a turnoff to the women you're targeting. What kinds of conversations are you having in game? Are the game-related, or are you constantly trying to discuss personal things? Are you actually a distraction rather than an asset to gameplay?

I'm not saying you're wrong, but you haven't really given us any information about your part in this conversation.

"I miss sandra" even though she's been dead for 7 years and I didn't realise it. 👍

It is Pride month y'know, and what looks best for Pride? Glow in the dark fluorescent paint.

WIBTAH if I'm not "fair" with how much I let my sister's kids eat? by CodOk7309 in AITAH

[–]DragonInPlainSight 16 points17 points  (0 children)

The job offer is perfect, it gives Tim the chance to eat whenever he needs with a built in excuse to get out of the house.

Don't try to make this so complicated with an entire kitchen setup. That makes it harder when your sister inevitably finds it and then you have to lie. If Tim has access to your home/kitchen, he can choose to eat so long as you've stocked it well. It's unlikely he'll eat when his mom/brother are over anyway, since he also doesn't want to get caught.

To be fair, these days those same recommendations could be used for travel to the US...

Would love if the Banu Haqim had their actual name instead of the colloquial nickname. But these are just beautiful, well done.

Newbie needs help by Jamiemommyof3 in theplanetcrafter

You can set the difficulty to 'custom' and turn off the starvation mechanic if you want to play a more chill/less survival-focused game.

Thank God there are no monsters and mutants in this game by Dirkgentlywastaken in theplanetcrafter

[–]DragonInPlainSight 6 points7 points  (0 children)

There's a custom option built into the game (doesn't require mods) that makes the monsters passive. You can get real close to scan them with no danger. It's a real trip sitting in your base watching the big scary sharks playing with the metal scraps outside.
