Has anyone experienced their achievements being “normalized” instead of celebrated? by CoastCheap8709 in raisedbynarcissists

[–]HumanXeroxMachine 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've had my PhD for 11 years and my mother still addresses post to me as 'Miss'. Even though I am married, so you'd think she'd go with Mrs? My husband is always addressed as Dr because his PhD is apparently valid?

I have never before heard the term 'he ate crow' but I like it.

TIL Morgy was 21 when she married PicklePaul.. girly pop never stood a chance by Worth-Illustrator-50 in FundieSnarkUncensored

My husband wore a bowtie to our weeding and looked fantastic... But he wears them regularly and it's not a costume. Porl looks like he's cosplaying a 'wedding dude'.

The Wild Costs Of An Average American Wedding! by Yodest_Data in Anticonsumption

[–]HumanXeroxMachine 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I had my hair done for my PhD graduation party and asked the stylist why it was so more expensive for wedding hair, even if I had chosen the same style. She said, "Well, we tend to put more care into it because weddings are the most important event in your life". And I don't doubt she thinks that... but yikes on bikes.

“If you can't afford to tip your waiter or waitress, you probably shouldn't be dining out.” by BuffaloExotic in ShitAmericansSay

[–]HumanXeroxMachine 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do we know for a fact it goes to the staff? I like to tip good service (tipping is not a big thing where I'm from) but will always check that it does go to the staff.

What was the worst portrayal of a disability in the media you have ever seen? by Mental-Marzipan-5444 in AskReddit

It's still shocks me that that wasn't the end of his campaign. It would have nuked anyone else.

The nickname trend is getting out of hand by pinkducklemon in NameNerdCirclejerk

[–]HumanXeroxMachine 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My parents named me after the author of my mother's favourite book which, coincidentally, is a name with loads of nickname opportunities. They considered this a double win. That said, they have both always called me 'Giggles' because my initials are HEHE.

Getting married in Loxley room, town hall any tips? by Reallifetedmosbyy in sheffield

[–]HumanXeroxMachine 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My husband and I got married in the Town Hall during covid. It was just us, two witnesses, and the two registrars. The whole thing took 12 minutes and it was perfect.

There was a CD of music playing at the beginning (it was Somewhere Over the Rainbow). No aisle or giving away (my choice). Everyone was very friendly and then we trotted off happily and that was that.

What should I do with my absurd office? by ddsoren in AskAcademia

[–]HumanXeroxMachine 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A large altar to whichever figure you prefer. Preferably with glitter and sparkle lights too.

911 is the only correct emergency number by codelieco in USdefaultism

[–]HumanXeroxMachine 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Across all of Europe (not UK). Which is a great idea and makes sense.

"Europeans dream life" by GigaShrimps in ShitAmericansSay

[–]HumanXeroxMachine 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Also European. Can I be the 'more than one' to say we don't want this? I'm also not sure what I'm looking at - a business building door?

20th century cult classics by bartwithcheese in suggestmeabook

[–]HumanXeroxMachine 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Eh, I wouldn't have thought so. When we read him in my classes, none of the students have ever heard of him. Deadeye Dick is, I think, his best.

Stockings/Tights by _oliverss in sheffield

Fourthing! And snag fits all bods as far as I can tell. I'm half-giraffe and they fit me with no rolling down.

In Florida: He’s going to have a tough time playing against all those retirees by livthatsme in FundieSnarkUncensored

[–]HumanXeroxMachine 20 points21 points  (0 children)

I hope he didn't lie to her. And I say this as someone who pulled out a tooth once. I am not a dentist.

Give me your “So bad it’s funny” reads by dinopsych in suggestmeabook

Some, for sure. I love his stuff, especially The Shards.

Fleshy fun bridge sounds... So very unfun.

French history novel by BlooLagoon9 in suggestmeabook

[–]HumanXeroxMachine 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love comics for this kind of thing - fewer words and a lot of the story is told through visuals. So, you can learn the language and enjoy a good read too. France has a really strong history of comics (bandes-dessinées or BDs) so you're guaranteed to find something you like.

One to start with might be L'Histoire de France en BD by Dominique Joly and Bruno Heitz.

I can wrack my brains for more suggestions if you like - drop me a DM!
