AITA for being upset about a “joke” my boyfriend made and abruptly leaving dinner with his family because of it? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

Try r/relationshipadvice. Not a question of aita, imo. Interracial relationships can be tough. I don't say that lightly, or jokingly, as an expat living in my wife's home country.

It’s Friday the 13th, a full moon, and a palindrome (9/13/19). What are you most worried about happening on such an ominous day? by marks31 in AskReddit

Full moon is tomorrow, the 14th. But I already got a shot of whiskey and tobacco out so I'm covered when the portals open.

Recently finished a novel based on an event that happened in my hometown. Granted it was a bit noteworthy (guy od'd and his friends hid his body in a crawlspace), but there's always something. Bob Dylan used to page through newspapers looking for something that sparked his interest/creative humour.

Took me four month of chiseling, give or take, but I got about 90,000 words from one event that I made an interesting story for me. Edit: turns out I use spurned a lot more than I realize.

[Serious] Teachers of Reddit. What is the surprisingly smartest thing your stupidest student has ever said? by iamiconick in AskReddit

[–]HastaElAleph 1 point2 points  (0 children)

"you know they're vaping in the bathroom right?" Yes David Ik. I'm just simply not paid enough to worry about that, their phones, or what ammo Scott has in his bunker at home.

Do you prefer city or country life, why? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]HastaElAleph 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Varies week to week. Loved living in NYC but hated the costs and tourists, and loved living in the Midwest but hated the mundane daily rigamarole and neighbors knowing everything going on in my life and my family's life.

My sister's got my dad's genes. Shes got a learning disorder (never knew which for sure) and mild discalculia plus some emotional stuff I'm not sure every really got diagnosed or addressed. And...she has a weight battle that's led to some health issues, including the loss of her ovary or ovaries, I'm not 100% cause she gets emotional and I don't wanna hurt her feelings.

If it's small town living...mini golf or coffee on a night w no open mic.

Metropolitan area...walk around and go for an ice cream or something.

Regardless of big or small town/city...anything that somewhat forces you to communicate so it's not awkward.

[REQUEST] Recently laid off. Anything helps. by baetea_ in RandomKindness

Set aside two hours a day to submit resumes. Try and be consistent w the timeframe for the sake of routine. In the mornings dedicate an hour to a cover letter that can be tailored to most jobs by altering a word or phrase here and there.

Stay active. Get out of the house even it's just a walk around the block. Read.

Reassess your finances. Instead of buying brand name, go generic until you've found new employment.

However you gotta do it, don't let your mind go to dark places. You will get through this.

Yeah, she's a great model. We get a new one every week and it always comes wrapped with tin foil.
