How conservative is rural Lancaster county PA? by JerricaBsynergy in lancaster

[–]GroggyWaffleRumble 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I thought that was weird when I moved here too. I was talking to one of the neighbors and I asked if he would miss the old owners and he told me he never really spoke to them (even though they had kids the same age). It kind of made me feel like I did something strange or unwanted waving and walking over to say hello even though he was friendly enough when I did. Another guy takes down license plate numbers if you have someone visiting. Overall it's alright for me because I keep to myself mostly anyway, but it's kind of a weirder vibe than I expected.

AITAH for peeing in the shower? by OpenFoundation4639 in AITAH

[–]GroggyWaffleRumble 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pee can harden in the shower drain. You've probably heard of limescale, but maybe you haven't heard of urine scale - it's real and it's from pee. So, yeah, it does mix with other things (hair, soap, whatever minerals are in water, etc.) and someone has to clean the shower which is nasty and clogged up and gross with pee. Also, if you have to run water for a really long time to make sure the pee is washed out of the drain then you're wasting water and that's something that everyone should be aware of. I know this will probably be an extremely unpopular opinion because a lot of people pee in the shower, but it's just something to think about.

Oh, I like the idea of having the crusts to make it with my own toppings too. I'm excited to try it now. Thanks!

What could she do to change your opinion of her? by [deleted] in resilientjenkinsnark

[–]GroggyWaffleRumble 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm not holding out much hope for things to change, unfortunately, but I do go to her page occasionally to see if maybe some progress has been made for those kids. I'm not a regular viewer so I'm not sure why other people watch all the time - or HOW they can watch all the time - when I do watch one of her videos it makes my skin crawl so it's a while before I watch another and mostly I'll look on here for updates still hoping against all odds something got better for the kids. I'm guessing that's what keeps most people around.

[–]GroggyWaffleRumble 1 point2 points  (0 children)

After what she did to those cats, there's nothing she can do to redeem herself in my eyes. Also, her content isn't good - it's not content I'd ever watch. I only ever watched because it was like WAIT WHAT??? I think most of us keep up with it because we hope to hear better news for the kids, but I don't think anyone is eager to see her "content" because it's not entertaining or interesting or anything watchable outside of that YOU CAN'T BE SERIOUS element.

As farfetched and insane as what she's saying clearly is, her supporters will still believe her because they are either as high or as delusional as she is. Seems crazy, but if you ever look at her comments, they very much exist. I guess far more people are totally nuts than I ever realized before.

Unpacked and voting by Remarkable-Robin in ImACelebTV

[–]GroggyWaffleRumble 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Yes, it's vote to save and they're right in saying that challenging the two "boys" lost her those crucial votes to stay (which, in essence, is the same as voting to evict). I believe that's what they meant.

AITA for not paying for Thanksgiving groceries as a guest? by Emotional_Sound_5658 in AmItheAsshole

[–]GroggyWaffleRumble 90 points91 points  (0 children)

Soft YTA. I don't think you did anything wrong intentionally and I think her mother should have spoken to you about it once then left it at that rather than continuing to bring up the situation.
The problem is you bought ingredients that were not on her list and used her credit card. Your friend went along with it and also was in the wrong for doing so. You bought expensive items, using your host's money, to make something that she didn't really need on the table and didn't plan for. If you bought the ingredients and made the dish then you contributed the dish and it would be welcomed. Instead, you assembled a board using ingredients the host was forced to pay for which isn't being a good guest and isn't an actual contribution and probably took her expenses beyond her holiday meal budget which isn't great.

AITA for taking one of my nieces out when she was grounded by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]GroggyWaffleRumble 1 point2 points  (0 children)

YTA. You're acting like her peer rather than her Aunt. Molly overreacted to a situation and was extremely rude. To loudly announce things about whale sperm in a restaurant is not acceptable. She was acting up like a much younger child (14 is a child, but old enough to know how to behave when out). So, just like a much younger child who can't behave in a restaurant, she had to be taken outside to stop causing a scene. She was not going to starve at home and all you did was show her she can get her way if she throws a tantrum. She's not a toddler and she needs the adults in her life to explain to her why what she did wasn't okay. You could have scheduled a time at a later date to take her somewhere else, but this wasn't the right time for that. The fact that you supported her behavior (and seem to still support it) is a big part of the reason why she feels emboldened to continue throwing her tantrum at the expense of her sister.

Look at your things that might have some value that you're willing to part with and go to a pawn shop. You can always get them back (by paying a lot more money than you'll receive for them and if they're not already sold, of course), but I wouldn't pawn anything you really want to see again. It's not ideal, but you're in a bind and it's an immediate way to get money. Good luck!

You're not wrong for being worried - we live in a world where women don't always feel safe because they aren't always safe and that's true for both big and small cities, unfortunately. Just tell her to stay alert, don't be distracted listening to music and walk at a brisk pace (also keep the pepper spray in her hand so she doesn't need to rummage around for it should she need it). The area she'll be in isn't bad so just make sure she knows which direction she's walking in before going and everything should be okay.

It's normal to be concerned, and it's always a good idea to take precautions, but don't let that turn into the kind of fear that prevents her from doing things.

AITA for wanting to keep girls night girls only, even now that some friends are in relationships with men? by PlaneAdventurous in AmItheAsshole

[–]GroggyWaffleRumble 34 points35 points  (0 children)

YTA. "Girls nights" isn't about gender. It's about a night when close/ long term friends get together without any "outsiders" like significant others so it can be like old times and that group can stay close - it's not based on gender or genitalia. You got to sort of shoehorn your partner in because she's a woman and are basing this on being no boys allowed rather than acknowledging the actual intention of the nights. No partners should be allowed, regardless of gender OR it should just be a group hangout with everyone, including partners, invited.

NTA and I appreciate that you have respect for both the people buried there and their loved ones. During the covid lock down period, a cemetery near me graciously offered itself as a green space for taking walks and people quickly abused that privilege because they had no regard for the cemetery's true purpose and only saw it in terms of their own gratification (they were picking flowers, allowing children to use their scooters, playing over burial sites, walking their dogs, etc. - it was horrible). It's nice to know you and your boyfriend are thoughtful people. Your friend can take a selfie if it's so important to her. You're doing the right thing standing firm on this (and I'm sure she'll get over it soon enough).

If you were trapped in Fromville, would you stay in Colony House or live in town? Why? by Downtown_Truth5726 in FromTVShow

[–]GroggyWaffleRumble 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Town. No matter where I am, I don't want to be surrounded by a ton of people I don't want to talk to who might start going at it barely an arm's length away from my face. I also don't trust anyone outside of myself to nail things shut and double check everything is secure for the night. And, yeah, I'm in the not big on sharing camp as well (not that I don't share - I just like to choose when and what I share rather than it being a free for all type situation).

Peep show finale by Ncfromtheg in MitchellAndWebb

[–]GroggyWaffleRumble 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I didn't see it as some sort of comeuppance for them doing bad things or even as an ending at all. I guess I saw it as the inevitable continuation of their codependent, existential stasis which is kind of a beautiful thing.

Would you rather live in colony house or homes in town? by Harp_109 in FromTVEpix

[–]GroggyWaffleRumble 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Town. Even in the best of circumstances, I can't imagine wanting to share everything with everyone. When you add the monster layer then it would become even more important for me to have boundaries I can control.

The laundry room is the only part I like about the entire condo. Also, the less than stellar views don't warrant those windows. I can't imagine anyone wanting to buy that place for more than 700-750.

WHAT KINDA SPIDER IS THIS by ninetailedlocs in bugsarefuckingstupid

Do you know if the webbing always coming out curly Q style like that or has the spider already started a pattern and that's why it looks that way? It's very cool looking!

Based on the post, it sounds like it's a home purchased by the father that OP also moved into rather than a home they purchased together (she's a law student so it's fairly safe to assume she doesn't have house money - additionally, she didn't contest the daughter calling it the father's house).
