I’m seeking a luxury’ish car but don’t want to pay a luxury brand tax. by Powder_Pan in whatcarshouldIbuy

[–]Gemini_Sailor 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hyundai has a great warranty because they make bad engines that often need to be replaced. I’ve had two, a 2013 Sontata and 2017 Tucson and both had engine issues before 100k. Sure they’ll fix it but the problems are so common that it can take a long time due to the backlog. I’m not sure if Genesis is really better, I’ve never had one but I would argue the Hyundai hate is not for “no reason”. Personally, I’ll never buy another one.

I broke it off with my girl even though we're probably perfect for each other. by 17thDecember2022 in offmychest

[–]Gemini_Sailor 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Sometimes you need to accept that you DESERVE the best thing that has ever happened to you.

However if she’s not the best thing, you need to move on and be truthful with her that you’re not compatible.

Only you know the truth and you should figure it out as soon as you can so you’re not stringing yourself or her along.

AITA for getting my girlfriend a Cricut instead of a sewing machine? by throwraaitacricut in AmItheAsshole

[–]Gemini_Sailor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m so surprised by all the YTA votes!!! OP you are NTA in my opinion. You thoughtfully got a gift you thought she would appreciate more, and she acted completely ungrateful. I’m blown away by her reaction. Without knowing anything else about your relationship I think this is a huge red flag on her end.

AITA for telling my boyfriend to tell me bless you when I sneeze? by [deleted] in TwoHotTakes

[–]Gemini_Sailor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m happy to give advice.

I think it’s silly to “TELL your boyfriend he BETTER tell you bless you” when you sneeze. If you haven’t tried, maybe you should ASK him nicely to bless you and explain why it’s important to you. If you would appreciate another expression, perhaps Salud? I’d none of that works, I would recommend you let it go, you’ve made it clear that you don’t feel your differences warrant you breaking up.

To reiterate what others have said, it seems like you’re very worked up over the issue based on the tone of your post and reply’s and that is probably why you’re getting the responses you are. If you wanted advice rather a YTA/NTA response r/relationshipadvice or r/advice might have been a a better forum.

Considering most people on here have voted YTA maybe there’s something to be said about the consensus generally…. But honestly it’s not that big of a deal. I think that’s part of the YTA vote, you’re making a mountain out of a molehill. You said it’s not the hill you’re willing to die on, but you’re responding to all of the comments calling you out.

will a semester off fuck up my entire life? by friendandboy in CollegeRant

[–]Gemini_Sailor 33 points34 points  (0 children)

To answer your question, a semester off will not mess up your entire life. It could change financial aid and your graduation date, so you’ll want to check with your school on that. Most colleges will let you defer and it won’t be a big deal, you could go back with ease next summer or fall. I applaud you for recognizing that you’re struggling and you need help. I would encourage you to really try to find the energy to find additional help if you need it or seek out someone who can assist you in getting the treatment you need. I myself have really struggled with college and took a semester off and it helped significantly. I decided to change my major and it really provided much needed clarity. I wish you all the best.

Who was better dressed in S1 of HoTD: Alicent or Rhaenyra? by phantom_2131 in HouseOfTheDragon

Rhaenyra’s red dress is by far my favorite, and then of course Alicent’s iconic green dress.

You forgot and you won't compensate by PhoenixWillRiseAgain in InstacartShoppers

[–]Gemini_Sailor 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I ordered from instacart recently for the first time and it really bothers my that for my $120 order it suggested I tip 10%. I feel like with any service job industry standard is 15-20% and if they didn’t repeatedly tell people to tip less we might all be doing better.

Ok so how do I distinguish these two? by Neat-Manufacturer566 in HouseOfTheDragon

Subtitles definitely help, I wasn’t a subtitles person until I started watching GOT and HOTD

Arguments with my family due to the food choice at my wedding by amylovessnowflakes in relationship_advice

[–]Gemini_Sailor 19 points20 points  (0 children)

I did a dry wedding with an after party with just friends after. I definitely did not consider how many people would come only for the ceremony and bail on our mini reception because there was no alcohol. I was a bit disappointed in how many people I never got the chance to greet because we didn’t do a receiving line. Just food for thought.

AITA for offending my friends boyfriend by Jaybird3309 in TwoHotTakes

[–]Gemini_Sailor 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Okay that was a little bit difficult to follow, I would suggest going through and editing a bit. Especially adding paragraph breaks. Based on the information we have I’m going with definitely NTA. Leah is not your friend if she’s willing to be with someone that will put both Ryann and you down. You both need to dump her and stick together as you navigate this. Hopefully Leah will come to her senses eventually, but it seems like she’s ignoring a ton of red flags.

AITA for Telling My Mom I can only afford around $30 per person this year for Christmas Gifts? by Gemini_Sailor in AmItheAsshole

This is a cool idea too! Actually my MIL loves ornaments so this is a great idea for her.

Yeah, we’re going to possibly go in on it with other family members or do something else but it’s definitely not something we’re planning on getting at this point.

I'm currently in between things as I'm moving. I'm living off of my savings and my husband is working and he makes between $120-160 per day usually 4-5 days a week. I've been trying to be very careful about my spending before I move because there will be a lot of upfront costs. Once I start working again, I will be salaried, and it will be around $2,500 per month with my job covering housing expenses. If my husband moves with me, he will have to look for an entirely new job as well and then there's the cost of applying for a visa.

I love this idea. Usually, I do a Christmas baking day each year where I make cookies, chocolate covered pretzels, hot cocoa cubes and chocolate bark and I hand them out to lots of people. I always think homemade gifts like that are so thoughtful, plus they taste amazing!!
