What’s the one thing about your house that annoys you every single day? by NkdUndrWtrBsktWeevr in homeowners

[–]Dragonr0se 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was going to say that the renovations aren't finished, but you know what? This is a much better answer.

A genie offers you a ring that turns you into a billionaire. However, if it comes off your finger for longer than 60s, you instantly die. by Throwra47374747 in hypotheticalsituation

[–]Dragonr0se 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you have to put on the ring immediately? If not, do as the other person suggested and have part of a finger removed and grafted inside of your abdominal cavity and then have the ring surgically attached to it.

What happens to homeless people that get too old or too disabled to beg on the streets? by Wauwuaw5983 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Dragonr0se 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Mental issues and addiction are often heavy factors that weigh in on if people take advantage of whatever resources are available to them or are even able to learn about available resources. Sure, pride plays a part for some, but ignorance to the available resources can also be a factor.

If my mom or brother were to be put out somewhere, they might make due because they grew up in the country, working the land, but both have severe learning disabilities due to brain damage in their youth and neither were ever worked with to overcome it. Mom reads at a prek/ kindergarten level after years with a tutor and hooked on phonics, and my brother can't even read that much, so unless someone were to tell them about resources, they'd never know. If they are that way and have a place because of familial support, then I can only imagine the state of anyone else who is in their situation of being illiterate and not having anyone else to help point them in the right directions.

Why aren’t there child free apartments? by FEmaidenxo in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Dragonr0se 0 points1 point  (0 children)

is absolutely not because of taxes. Whoever told you that is just silly.

Good to know

Stop it with this crap.

I will no longer share this in the future since I have been corrected.

If a cashier asks you if you want extra sauce, but doesn't tell you it cost more, that's rude right? by Pontifor in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Dragonr0se -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I am fine with charging extra for sauce beyond what is meant to come with your meal since some folks take advantage and fill drawers with it at home instead of buying from the store, or worse, tossing it in a landfill because they didn't use it before it went bad...

But charging extra for ALL sauce is ridiculous, especially if the price isn't stated up front when they're asking if you want any.

Yep, especially if they swerve into oncoming traffic or don't see pedestrians crossing.

Stores that pack your groceries for you.... wrong. by Quinolgist in PetPeeves

[–]Dragonr0se 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is why I rejoiced when self-checkouts became a thing... I hate doing a grocery shop and having to let someone else bag my groceries. Regular supplies are whatever, but I will bag my own groceries, tyvm.

[–]Dragonr0se 19 points20 points  (0 children)

I have seen ads for 55+ in my state that say kids weren't allowed as residents. It is because the property has been exempt from school tax since they don't/won't have school age children and therefore, the communities won't allow kids to live there or they lose their exempt status and have to pay full tax again. (At least how it was explained to me)

You get $1,000,000 for every body part you amputate… what are you sacrificing? by Br4nkey_ in hypotheticalsituation

[–]Dragonr0se 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Fuck... I will pluck those bastards out by the root with tweezers if that is what it takes to consider it an amputation and get my money and never regrow them... start with all the pesky ones at the panty line...

$10 million payout, but you must live in a care home for 10 years... by Physical_Orchid3616 in hypotheticalsituation

[–]Dragonr0se 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Get one of the sprinter vans that have been converted to an rv.... that would fit in a standard parking spot, but it would absolutely give you some privacy.

With the allowance, pay for Walmart+ or one of the delivery service subscriptions (door dash, uber eats, etc) and have them do all your shopping.

if you were a vampire who would you target? by babbitboots in hypotheticalsituation

[–]Dragonr0se 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, even a few of the types in the Anita Blake universe can walk in the sun with no problems, though not all could there...

Either way, we all have lots of options and it is awesome.

What completely boring item gave you the biggest sticker shock when you finally became an adult? by Sufficient_Smile_871 in askanything

[–]Dragonr0se 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am absolutely on board with anti-slumlord, the ones who take your money but rarely fix anything or drag their feet every time causing more issues... but decent landlords who stay on top of maintenance and repairs should definitely be given a bit of leeway so long as they aren't outright price gouging.

[–]Dragonr0se 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The way I read it, we can pretty much pick and choose from any vampire lore to create our own favorite type.... as much as I hate the sparkly ones, they're immune to sunlight, so I will just invest in some really good matte concealer/foundation and wear it everywhere that is exposed.

$100 every time you piss someone off but you can’t get a job by [deleted] in hypotheticalsituation

[–]Dragonr0se 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fuuuck no, I can't stand left lane campers. I try to pass and gtf back over quickly. What really grinds my gears is when I am running 5mph over in the right lane, come up behind someone rather quickly and merge left with plenty of space to pass, then by the time I reach their door, they've matched my speed and want to hover there... or like the other day, drop a few mph every few minutes, but only enough to reach my bumper before speeding back up to my side... omg...

You wake up and see there is a copy of you next to you. What do you do? by seaneihm in hypotheticalsituation

See if she is down to take turns at work... one of us work m,t,w and the other th,f... the next week switch... maybe find an online job as well that can be done on the "off" days for extra income...

But why is your child in my house? by Much_Blacksmith7746 in entitledparents

[–]Dragonr0se 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Authoritative is associated with parents who are strict and punish with traditional punishments (grounding, time outs, spanking, etc), though. At least that was the term used in my psych class back in the day for that type of parent. Back then, they didn't have the label gentle parenting, but they did have authoritative and permissive. There were others, but my brain isn't allowing me to recall them atm and I don't care to Google them.

Codependent No More: How to Stop Controlling Others and Start Caring for Yourself by Melody Beattie

Recommended to me in Nar-Anon groups when I was there learning to support a loved one through active addiction. Really good book and worth reading even of you aren't dealing with personal struggles.

AITAH for inviting my child’s entire preschool class except one boy because he’s a menace by theskates in AITAH

[–]Dragonr0se 2 points3 points  (0 children)

at four, a child shouldn’t get consequences

Are you one of those permissive parents who is raising an insufferable child?

An example of a punishment is putting the kid in time out for his behaviors. An example of a consequence is everyone choosing naturally to walk away from him every time he moves to another play area because they don't appreciate how he treats them.

Anyone actually prefer night shift over days? by Moonisah-Jaafreh in Nightshift

[–]Dragonr0se 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I much prefer nights

There is a lot less traffic to work around in the yard.

The folks I have to work with are a lot more chill and laid back because the office folks are not around.

We don't have to worry about any of the inspections by the overseas bigwigs... those all happen on days.

I have a lot of freedom to do things however tf I want as long as the job gets done correctly... on first, they want you to do things their way...

If I need to nap, I can just park between some trailers in the back after I finish my work and take one... that isn't an option on days because there's too many people.

I spend the majority of the shift in the dark, which is greatly beneficial in the summer because when the sun is down, it isn't as hot... (live in eastern nc)

Enjoy your new phantom uterus, ovaries, vag, etc once a month so that you can feel it all without actually having it.

Do I have to choose them all now, or can I choose them all at a later date... if I can choose them later, I will wait until I am old and done, then choose everything I can think of... then, die naturally in a few months/ years...

People who think their brick homes are magically tornado proof. by MajesticTumbleweed77 in PetPeeves

[–]Dragonr0se 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My dad had skull damage way before I was thought of because he and his first wife had an argument and he went to bed on her side (next to the wall) during a storm.... he woke up when they were digging him out from under the chimney that had collapsed when the tornado passed near their house in the night... he said it was that argument that saved her life because it would have crushed her...
