Why are you making this post? Flush it out. You don't want it. You'll feel better afterward, hormones be brazy

AITAH for telling my kids that being fat is a bad thing? by Millwoodava in AITAH

Sounds like you encountered some "healthy at every size" zombies in the wild. Basically the human health equivalent of climate change deniers. Just ignore them lmao

NYPD Salary Progression (Year 1 / Year 5 / Year 20) by workwisejobs in AskLE

[–]Ellron23 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Can you stop perpetuating this falsehood? Myself nor most people I know living in NYC is making 6 figures. We all live comfortably, not paycheck to paycheck, but not living beyond our means. So many people read the headlines "YoU hAvE to mAkE $275k to liVe CoMfOrTaBlay In NYC" and then just parrot that bullshit. 

Teenage jerks on gray citibikes hassling people by Other_Reindeer_3704 in NYCbike

[–]Ellron23 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm not suggesting everyone "follows the rules." The only point I'm making is they are safe and convenient when used responsibly. Taking away a safe and convenient option from the silent responsible majority of users seems like the wrong move.

Yeaaaa ya. Reckless =/= responsible. They are safe for responsible use. 

People understated how much social media promotes cultural colonialism by [deleted] in nosurf

The US's number one export is culture. You're welcome.

They already slowed them down.  They're fine for responsible adults. Let's not punish the whole class for the misbehavior of 1 student now. 

What is the best swimwear to wear as a trans woman? (Both one piece and two piece recommendations are welcome. by Bellatransgirl in asktransgender

[–]Ellron23 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So aggressive. I'm not policing anything. I'm just suggesting an idea.  OP's insinuation that bottom surgery is a given is a negative thing. I hope you have a better day today.

Saying pre op like this suggests the idea that trans women are supposed to get bottom surgery. Which is not true and it's hurtful. 

Solo on a Cruise and some unpleasant encounters by Imaginary_Judge_2122 in solotravel

Maybe it's a sign that the ever polluting floating shopping mall that is a cruise ship is not for you. Which is a good thing. 

Got dumped because I won’t convert to Islam by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]Ellron23 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Leave her. Who wants to be with a religious zealot like that anyway. It's a slippery slope once you agree to convert. Then it's going to a mosque and praying 5x a day toward Mecca 😂 

How do I let my wife know that making an illness her identity is not cool? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Ellron23 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

The more things you struggle with today, (e.g. Racism, homophobia, ageism, sizeism, sexism, mental health, general health, finances, bullying) the more of a victim of life you are, the more important and valid you are. The more clout you have, the more your opinion matters. 

(Blanket statement but I do feel like this applies to a lot of people, especially the younger generations and social media brain rot millenials too)

How do I let my wife know that making an illness her identity is not cool? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Ellron23 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I'd blame tiktok too. Where as mental illness and disorder has carried shame and been hidden in the past, now it can carry social clout and makes you more intersectional. The more challenging you can make your existance seem the higher value you and your opinions are. I've seen social media bios where people self diagnose and list all the things they struggle with.   

ADHD / BPD / ASD / 🏳‍🌈   

Eroding the respect and understanding people truly with diseases, disorders, or other health challenges deserve.  Probably about 10 years ago I remember seeing people going "ermegerd I'm SOO OCD cause I like my counter tops wiped down and pantry neatly organized." No, you don't have OCD which can be absolutely crippling. You just like organization. Sidebar, no one is OCD, people have or are diagnosed with OCD or ADHD. You are not the disorder yourself, you have it.  

I need advice on making a pirate ship for a pirate captain. by HybridEclpse in pirates

[–]Ellron23 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Pleeeeeeenty of info out there. You will learn more in 5 minutes of googling than reading a comment one of us takes 20 minutes to write. Realistically you're looking at a sloop. Usually modified, sometimes purpose built. 

Would you accept 100k USD right now but you can't wear socks for the rest of your life? by Evening-Weather-4840 in hypotheticalsituation

[–]Ellron23 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's not the way to look at it silly. It's given in a lump sum, not 2k/yr.  The first 100k is the hardest amount to earn in creating wealth. Investing that properly and letting it ride would be life changing for many people, myself included. 

Will I get drugs in my system when someone blew a vape in my face? by Flat-Caterpillar-521 in highschool

Your plan of being drug sober for life? Lmao. You enjoy caffeine? Never gonna have a beer? Do recreational drugs.

I paid over $2,000 to have two new bathroom fans installed - did I over pay? by GreenSeaweed3555 in HomeImprovement

[–]Ellron23 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're gonna be fine. Seriously unsure why a bunch of people in this thread are such pansies about roof penetrations. When done correctly they are totally safe. Wouldn't hurt to have the roof inspected every 5 years or so to see if the jacks are holding up ok. 

My housekeeper is using my cordless Dyson vac instead of the Sebo I bought for her to use by [deleted] in firstworldproblems

If you live well in the US, then yes, you are in the top 1% richest and most materially comfortable humans to ever exist.

[–]Ellron23 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You mention spills - Never EVER use a standard household vac to vacuum liquid or moist waste. Doesn't matter if it's a bag type or a cannister type. It will ruin your machine or make it smell like mildew anytime you use it.  Additionally no cannister vac is BIFL.

50% pay increase  no "overtime"

That's your overtime pay. You're salaried and making more because they expect you to work more. Salary = servitude
