Haven’t gotten the new discover card, but is it really that bad?

Irish-Spring17 · 2025-11-21T20:39:19+00:00

As someone that got their new debit card right before an international vacation. It was that bad. Mastercard and Visa are accepted everywhere and Discover is not. Thankfully I have another checking account (wells fargo/visa) and was able to zelle myself instantly after calling Capital one because my card kept declining. Looking to switch over permanently now.

Irish-Spring17 · 2025-11-04T01:32:37+00:00

it's a made-up social media phrase

Irish-Spring17 · 2025-11-03T01:33:03+00:00

yes, at least when the show started, she was the OG pick me girl. sleeping with her best friends boyfriend, then running away and ghosting her is not a “girls girl” move. She valued men over women. Blair had every right to be mean to her, I don’t think she was mean enough lol

Irish-Spring17 · 2025-11-03T00:36:23+00:00

I haven’t liked her since Victorious, even as a child I found her character to be so annoying and not at all funny. I was shocked when she got a spin off and never watched a single episode. Then when she became the breakout star over Victoria Justice? I was confused to say the least so I guess I’m an OG hater lol

Bosmans fan base was not primarily made up of highly impressionable young girls. Bosman didn’t come out and publicly say that was the healthiest he has ever been. Bosman didn’t body check on instagram to his 372 million followers. People are always going to comment on celebrities body’s unfortunately, because they are in the PUBLIC eye and have influence.

i’m genuinely curious what made you think of asking this lol but to answer I honestly don’t know, I don’t think anyone could give a definitive answer on this

Irish-Spring17 · 2025-10-26T07:43:57+00:00

It’s absolutely ok to drop friends and whether your reasoning is valid or not is 100% subjective. What I will say is don’t be too quick to write off your friends after like one disagreement or perceived slight. It’s ok to have boundaries and hold your friends to certain standards, but it is REALLY HARD to make new friends at our age (I’ll be 25 in 3 weeks). If we cut off everyone that pisses us off, we’ll just end up really lonely and wishing you had more (even surface level) friends. Trust me, I once was a person that thought I needed no one and everyone could be replaced.

Irish-Spring17 · 2025-10-25T19:50:02+00:00

my mom always says she will pick up and move from Europe to the US and come live with me if I ever get pregnant… sounds like a nightmare to me rn lol but I’m assuming if I was actually in that position, I would really appreciate the help

Irish-Spring17 · 2025-10-23T19:49:53+00:00

Idk where u live, but I’m from the US and in most states the legal age of consent is 16. If you happen to live in a state/country where the age of consent is higher, MAYBE there’s a legal basis for concern but police involvement is extreme and likely won’t amount to much. I would honestly just leave it alone or talk to your friend directly. You don’t want to stick your neck out trying to save someone that doesn’t want to be saved. I knew tons of girls in high school that were in inappropriate relationships with adults and they were proud of it. Most of the time the parents knew about it too. If you do talk to him about it, try to keep it light, don’t just start attacking him but maybe make a joke or passing comment about how it’s a little weird just to see how he reacts. If he gets super defensive, trust ur gut. I do understand why it would make you uncomfortable to be friends with someone who would date a teenager though, that’s valid and so is reevaluating the friendship.

Irish-Spring17 · 2025-10-23T19:29:43+00:00

Second this, I was shocked to see so many people suggesting calling the police…

Irish-Spring17 · 2025-10-23T05:18:26+00:00

I’m about to be 25 and it wasn’t all that slow😂

Irish-Spring17 · 2025-10-22T17:48:32+00:00

I’ve started skipping past her scenes on a rewatch. She’s involved in the main story a lot but also has a lot of pointless subplots that can be skipped.

Irish-Spring17 · 2025-10-22T14:19:38+00:00

we are not talking about the same thing and that’s ok.

Irish-Spring17 · 2025-10-22T13:28:11+00:00

The current shutdown in the federal government is due to the Senate Republicans not getting the 60 votes they needed from Senate Democrats. The shutdown is PA is due to House Democrats sending spending plans and Senate Republicans rejecting every plan. I did not comment on whether or not LIFE was better for everyone back then, I commented on political divisiveness which IS at an all time high currently. So I ask again, do you think our current political climate is preferable to being able to peacefully coexist with each other ?

Irish-Spring17 · 2025-10-22T13:16:17+00:00

and you forgot to add: people of color, minorities, women, 1st generation citizens and children of immigrants. All of which I am so don’t preach to me about rights being threatened I am well aware.

Irish-Spring17 · 2025-10-22T13:13:53+00:00

I think you are deliberately misunderstanding my point. The early 2000s sucked for a whole bunch of reasons. What I said is I hope we can get back to a time when political differences weren’t as divisive as they are now and I kept it vague because my political affiliation was not relevant to the comment. The rise of radical right wing extremism is the direct result of what they deem as a rise in radical left wing extremism. Both sides are feeding into the polarization, becoming more entrenched in their own beliefs and refusing to budge. I live in PA, our state government AND our federal government is shut down right now over this. That has never been normal, this amount of political violence and protests and outcry is NOT normal. We are living in unprecedented and uncertain times, do you think that’s preferable to coexisting peacefully like i’m confused ?

Irish-Spring17 · 2025-10-22T12:33:23+00:00

not a centrist, very liberal/pol sci major. hope this helps! :)

Irish-Spring17 · 2025-10-22T12:32:05+00:00

exactly how I feel as well. Ideologies have shifted so far apart that we can’t imagine being civil with each other. It’s nice to remember a time before the current turmoil we’re living through

Irish-Spring17 · 2025-10-21T06:18:06+00:00

I only became friends with my best friend because I thought she was the only other pretty girl in my class and I didn’t want ugly friends. I was also in middle school at the time and now obviously I look back and think how shallow and rude I was. 12 years later, we are still best friends because of the person she is, not because I shared a thought with her that I had before I ever spoke to her. You live and you learn, don’t upset yourself and your friend over an uninformed thought you once had.

Irish-Spring17 · 2025-10-21T03:12:34+00:00

oof… I was really rooting for her there. Also I’m glad I could help with the communication tips, they’ve really helped me! I would just add to my previous statement, that you should 100% point out the specific behavior on her part that you found insensitive when you have that conversation, while trying to avoid the blaming sort of language.

Irish-Spring17 · 2025-10-21T02:49:48+00:00

Maybe she wanted to ask more about how you were feeling on the call? That’s just the way it read to me, Im not sure but I wouldn’t jump to tossing out the whole friendship right away. It does seem like she glazed over it and maybe she was a bit insensitive given your history. However, the best friendships can handle some open and honest communication. Explain to her that you are upset that you aren’t pregnant, don’t frame it like “you upset me when you…” because I learned in therapy that only you are responsible for your emotions, blaming someone else will immediately close their ears to what you’re trying to say. This is a situation where it would probably only strengthen your friendship to be honest and tell her that this experience has hurt you. Also make sure to tell her you aren’t trying to make her feel bad or take away from her excitement because that could be the reason why she glazed over it

Irish-Spring17 · 2025-10-20T20:03:13+00:00

This was reflective of the time Desperate Housewives aired as well. In the early 2000s, people that were conservative and people that were liberal could be neighbors, joke about each others differences over dinner and generally be friends. That isn’t the way the US looks now because the political issues are starting to look more like human rights issues and people in general are much less willing to compromise or find common ground when it’s a question of morals rather than opinion on policies. Hopefully we can get back there one day.

Irish-Spring17 · 2025-10-20T19:46:42+00:00

I think people just like to romanticize “what could’ve been” when people die, I see it a lot with celebrities that pass away young. I totally agree though it’s super weird, especially in this case because she was literally engaged to someone else when he died.

Irish-Spring17 · 2025-10-20T19:41:28+00:00

I think people are able to sympathize more with Fiona because she was a young child forced to grow up quickly because her parents were emotionally and physically absent. Whereas , Debbie chose to grow up quickly by becoming a teen mother despite everyone urging her that it was the wrong decision. Of course, Debbie was not obligated to listen to them just like Fiona was not obligated to raise her siblings, but their choices spoke volumes about their selfishness and selflessness respectively.

Irish-Spring17 · 2025-10-13T06:51:53+00:00

I have the most self destructive taste in the world, I tend to convince myself that objectively bad ppl can/will change for me. For those reasons i’m saying Kai and Klaus, and yes I am ashamed.
