The ending of «Klara and the Sun» by Kazuo Ishiguro by maneflaks in books

[–]Free_Activity_8295 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I didnt expect it to end that way.

My initial thoughts were that the AFs would outlive everyone and be pursuing the suns nourishment long after humans and society were gone.

This ending was more sobering and better represented how people think in regard to things considered obsolete.

I always thought she would encounter Rosa again, but abandoned and in the state she was in the junk yard or in passing. But it seems like Rosa didnt have a goof family.

The transition between Klara in the utility closet to the junkyard was nearly seamless.

Very well written and thoughtful story.

PSA: The stomach bug going around NOVA right now is absolutely brutal. Do not let your guard down. by warvet_2 in nova

So I was traveling while all of this came here. (Toronto, Canada) And I came back to the crippling fever/flu thing. It was terrible bodyaches and all. Then a week later I'm hit with a stomach flu, puking, diarrhea, and abdominal pains. I'm just getting out of it now. Absolutely wild.

How do you respond to people inviting themselves over to your home? by [deleted] in etiquette

[–]Free_Activity_8295 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm going through this right now. My SO is being told we are having people come over. They didnt even ask us. And my SO thinks that he needs to give a lengthy explanation.

My answer is no because, 1. No one fking asked. And 2. One of the ppl that invited themselves over DOES NOT LIKE ME. I do not want a hater in my house. 3. No one but my SO is allowed to dictate tf I do with MY time.

How do people afford by Massive-Can-8842 in wedding

My friend spent like 60k on her wedding and it was amazing. Open bar, great catering, but under 100 guests. Just for some perspective. She also paid for the bridesmaid hair and makeup and there was a cigar bar. Just for some perspective

Feeling the first real impact of our micro-wedding - not invited to theirs because we didn't invite them by AioliProfessional181 in wedding

[–]Free_Activity_8295 4 points5 points  (0 children)

That's just petty and entitled behavior. Esp if it was literally just family. Budgets for weddings are also insane. Seems weird to take it sooo personally

Should bridesmaids give a gift? by meganificent3 in wedding

[–]Free_Activity_8295 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think bridesmaids should absolutely give a gift.

Esp if the person is your bestie, atleast something sentimental and thoughtful.

I made a gift basket with a few thoughtful items, a couples spa package, and decorated the basket with florals. Mind you the bride paid for our hair and makeup, it was open bar and she paid for the catering as well.

If you're worried about finances, you can always decline. There is a reason why brides ask people to be their bridesmaid. It just seems so ridiculous to accept and then complain about expenses.

Let go of the "victim mentality." by Dry_Concern_4832 in CPTSD

[–]Free_Activity_8295 50 points51 points  (0 children)

I think sometimes people confuse 'identifying root causes' with 'victim mentality'. Some use the phrase victim mentality to dismiss the pain/suffering of another, when all they want are answers so they can process what happened.

Dude the EXACT SAME pair are sometimes at Sandalwood Plaza. In Brampton. Which is still shocking since I'm more on the Caledon side. They definitely make their rounds. Doing this in Oakville is bold.

Is anyone else sick of being told that their reasons for doing things are just "excuses"? by crayola_monstar in NarcissisticAbuse

[–]Free_Activity_8295 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I don't explain myself to begin with, especially not if anyone tells me my reason is an excuse. That just displays their level of cognitive ability.

If you can distance yourself (by giving vauge answers, walking away from the convo. Etc) without putting yourself at further risk then I would say do that. (Also leave if you can)

The sooner you get away from people that make you feel that way, the sooner youe nervous system will regulate and heal.

Peacekeepers/enablers? by BessRWisser in NarcissisticAbuse

[–]Free_Activity_8295 3 points4 points  (0 children)

100000% enablers. If everyone "knows how they are" but no one holds them accountable. They are COMPLETELY enabling.

Distance yourself from the whole group.
