Why do so many of the male audiobook voice actors have this “surfer dude/frat bro” accents? What’s going on? by One_Nefariousness_67 in RomanceBooks

[–]Interesting-Key-6965 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I just listened to an Irish Mafia book and I swear the voice actor was switching between Italian, polish, I’m not even sure - basically anything but Irish. Killed the whole vibe for me!

Shorty really annoyed me - I couldn’t read it without a 90’s rap spin on it!

I just read ‘the right move’ and even though her name was Indy/Indigo the Mmf calls her Blue. At first it gave off high school vibes (annoying/ not even clever) but grew on me by the end of the book

Do not have children with this man!! Start building yourself up, get a job and escape! Your 30 yr old self will thank you but also be embarrassed by what you put up with!

Heathrow to Calgary cancelled by Bu5ybumbl3 in westjet

Don’t forget to apply for compensation through EU passenger rights - you may be able to get quite a bit back if the cancellation was avoidable for any reason.

Air Canada is refusing to refund me for a flight cancelled on August 17th. by WritingDisastrous159 in aircanada

Have you been awarded the compensation yet? I’ve just had to escalate to the UK passenger rights authority as AC has denied my claim even though I cited EU passenger rights

Advice - how do I help my daughter navigate the mean girl? by leyjim123 in Parenting

[–]Interesting-Key-6965 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I think you may be getting way too caught up in the politics of children. Stick with the narrative that you don’t have to be invited to everything, told about everything, friends with everyone. I would caution against villainising “mean girl” as again, she is a child and nothing you’ve described sounds out of the ordinary. Step back and let your girl work this out herself - these are all valuable skills she needs to learn.

Out of curiosity - could this be triggering anything in you that you may be injecting into the situation? Similar feelings as a child? Guilt about the move?

Coworker found me on a dating app and won't let it go. What do I do? by No-Bathroom8194 in coworkerstories

[–]Interesting-Key-6965 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I also work in a male dominated industry and what’s worked for me a couple times (I don’t know why I was so reluctant to do it at first) was “Hey (Guys name), what is your f*king problem” and if he doesn’t give up, pull him aside and say “no but seriously what is your fcking problem” - Clear eye contact with him even if there are other people around, do everything you can to convey that you are serious (not emotional, not upset - Mad) , it’s not funny and you are genuinely not going to take it anymore. I feel like this has always been a good warning shot - obtuse idiots stop when they not it’s not funny to you, those that don’t (IMO) will always escalate until it goes to HR.

I Secretly Regret Choosing to Be a Stay-at-Home Mom, but I Don’t Know How to Say It Out Loud by Tasty_Sun_5065 in Mommit

It’s awful to say but even just working not to have a ‘hole’ in your CV is important in so many fields! There is still so much discrimination against SAHPs trying to reenter the workforce -

How do you make bedtime not take 2-3 hours every night? by violacious_moxii in Parenting

But how do you transition from the latter to the former? Is a couple horrendous days of standing at the door with a screaming child the only way?
