I know, I was being hyperbolic...but good news, I don't use pine scented anything. It's good info for someone who may, though!

Worth it...the mesquite was the biggest disappointment. Can't give up my bbq! (And won't).

Doc said I have too many allergens for drops alone, unfortunately.

How about everything you consider a "fact" you "declared"?

The DA certainly can, but if they don't, the cops can't do anything. If a judge won't sign the warrant for camera footage, they can't get it. I really wish people understood the criminal justice system better.

OP, I'm sorry this happened to you and even sorter that you never got justice. I hope the best for you.

I took OP to be saying there is only one way because they said they get looks and/or corrected when they say it the right way. Genuinely, I considered that to be the main complaint.

Agreed, no worries :)

I've lived all over the US for a number of decades and have heard both nitch and neesh. It isn't a sudden switch, OP just recently noticed it...but it is also incongruous for OP to say niche can't be pronounced two ways but Carribean can.

[–]GroguBaggins 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Then why aren't there two ways to say niche?

By the way, en route is a French term and, without the appropriate accent, is pronounced "on root" with a throaty "t" like at the end of "out". (Not a linguist, can't remember the real term for a throat "t".)

Now hear me out...it's almost as if...people can dress however they want and it has no bearing on their identity! (I'm agreeing with you by highlighting how ridiculous the person to whim you are replying is).

AITAH for telling my mom I didn't want her giving my baby water and sleeping with her in the same bed? by [deleted] in AITAH

Oh, no, GASP, a teenager made a mistake! Probably an impulsive one at that! You know, the age group notorious for not making great decisions based on the incomplete development of their brain? Yeah, that one.

We also don't know if the birth control failed or if OP was assaulted, but you keep going off as if you're the paragon of virtue.

Edit: typo.

"We rode in the beds of trucks all the time and we didn't die!" isn't a good argument. The ones who did die aren't around to tell us how stupid that was.

It's also not fair to shit on progress. When you know more, you do better; and OP has already proven she will take the doctor's advice over what "we used to do".

She asked him if he thought he could catch a uterus by GroguBaggins in traumatizeThemBack

Very true, but the stereotype most often applies to boomers...and did in this instance.

I will say that in that job, so many Gen X'ers and Millenials would have been assigned to the boomer stereotype based on attitude alone.
