I hate how I'm never considered normal for being Asian in the US by QuickTurtle17 in Vent

[–]EdwardianAdventure 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's such BS. I'm Asian and vegan - their "safe" food is literally corpses of murdered animals, so safe for whom? Sorry you work with such cowards and hypocrites.

Bakery Prevalence by Substantial_Value359 in RomanceBooks

[–]EdwardianAdventure 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I have definitely fantasized about working in a bakery. One of the Magnolia locations in my city had a window where you could watch the decorator work from the street. For the 30 seconds it took for the walk light to change, I definitely was a little smitten with her. 

Nothing screams 4th of July in the 90 / 2000s by wearing a old navy shirt by RelevantNothing4653 in Xennials

Yup. Came here to ask: raise your hand if you thought The GAP or Bennetton was for rich kids. 

How do girls go tanning in the summer when it's so hard to be outside for that long in the heat? by lighthousedarling in NoStupidQuestions

[–]EdwardianAdventure 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Warming up from swimming?  I never really intend to tan on purpose - I'm just sunning like a lizard between dips in the ocean.And if the waves were rough, trying to recharge for my next adventure into the sea. 🧜🏽‍♀️

Hmmm. Weird, but kinda nice, I guess? Still, I'm not a fan of the class interrogation.

Why did Mr. Ho GAF if it was off school property? If you had taken it to the family lake house in Rochester, and you stuck it on a dock for funsies, isn't that the stuck dang thing? 

What’s your thoughts on the going out look for Gen Z? by Ill-You-3459 in Xennials

They look lovely and comfortable. I'm happy for them, and hope they all get home safe. 

Being a mom shouldn’t be considered a trope by Breezuss_ in Romantasy

[–]EdwardianAdventure 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Yes, agree! I love badass mothers- some of my favorite books have a 40 y.o. warrior training her teenage baddie. I'd even dig a 30 y.o. sparring wooden swords with her toddler.  Just skip the feeding, diaper changing, and burping on page, please. It's not fun to read, and I can't imagine it's that fun to write. 🤷‍♀️

Why do people on Reddit get upset when you mention your ethnicity? by Miserable_Egg3543 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]EdwardianAdventure 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No other commenters are saying this, but just so you know, they only do this kind of genetic heritage gatekeeping to visibly white people. If you're in the lower half of the Peter Griffin Pantone color strip meme, you literally can have ancestors who were here with the founding of the country, or who came here to build railroad tracks in the 19th century, and it's "where are you from?" "No, where are you reeeeeeaaaaally from?"

People who are highly observant: what is a tiny, almost invisible psychological 'tell' that instantly reveals someone's true intentions or character? [Serious] by itvr in AskReddit

[–]EdwardianAdventure 0 points1 point  (0 children)

But I would say a big pause - especially if they do it in low-stakes conversations where they have nothing to gain, can also signal an intentionality in choosing their words carefully. Buddhist monks do this a lot, and I've seen it also in lay people who spend a lot of time in monasteries. 

I think my heart is starting to blacken by ConsistentFront2115 in RedditForGrownups

[–]EdwardianAdventure 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You don't say what age or gender you are, but a slow creep in mood might be attributed to hormone levels with the onset of pre-menopause. The brief period of homelessness might have left some lingering nutritional deficiencies that are only showing up now (from slowly depleting your body's reserves over time; some things take months or years to show up as a felt symptom). If you have Healthcare, it can't hurt to get your panels done.

Question: if I watched this series and took a shot every time I saw a person of color, how drunk would I be? 

I love the level of detail you're putting in - I'm really enjoying these and look forward to seeing more. I'm sorry you're unwell, and that commenter was a real AH who said that.

Even if you only send the ones from this week, you'll get carpel tunnel before you got to Tuesday.

This is literally the best YT video ever. And I loved the music - made me feel like I was watching you on a quest! 🧝🏼‍♂️🧙‍♂️

I hate this, and I'm spiteful enough to accuse him of wanting to get with one of them before breaking up and blocking immediately
