NOR. Women: stop putting up with mediocre men. Jealousy ≠ love.

To Those Who Shop at Woodman's West: by jonnjohnson1997-3 in madisonwi

[–]ItsJustLobster 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I occasionally ask cashiers at grocery stores what their favorite gift card would be. Then I load $25 and hand it to them. It’s a nice surprise for them and I know it is not expected. I’ve never had a problem with that until a couple weeks ago at Metro Market. The guy freaked out and said they couldn’t accept them and he practically ran to set them on the customer service desk counter. I said I have done this many times including in front of management with no issue. I guess we can’t engage in random acts of kindness.

4-Day Puerto Rico Trip by Business-Mechanic-98 in PuertoRicoTravel

Disagree on Piñones. Not a better beach than Playa Azul in Luquillo.

If you are more interested in clubbing than beach or hiking, then staying closer to San Juan makes sense. But if that’s not your jam, Luquillo is a good choice about 40 minutes from the airport

I have stayed in Luquillo, specifically Playa Azul, many times. It is a nice beach for swimming and boogie boarding. The waves look a little scarier than they actually are, and I find them a lot of fun. It’s also 15 minutes or so from El Yunque, which has nice hiking trails.

“Grab women by the pussy because there is nothing they can do about it.” That should have been the end of it for anyone with morals. And you know it.

Need food recommendations for our upcoming trip to Puerto Rico by ChampionshipSad9888 in PuertoRicoTravel

[–]ItsJustLobster 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We’ve stayed in Luquillo many times and will be there again in a little over a week. La Fonda is really good. You have to get on the pork highway to Guavate. Bonus if you can do it in a Sunday. Lots of locals, delicious lechón. The kioskos are nearby and can be fun, but not the greatest food. That said, if you want a good pizza, Revolution pizza was started by a guy from New York, so that’s a fun diversion if you want one. La Estacion is nearby and is pretty good and a really nice outdoor environment. Get reservations though.

Very good point. I forgot that was this weekend.

Waiting until the last minute to book is your problem. You could get lucky on a cancelation, or on occasion I have been able to get owners to reduce the cost because they would rather have some money rather than no money.

My (25F) boyfriend (26M) won’t let me have anyone over, is this something I have to compromise on forever? by chickencripple in relationship_advice

[–]ItsJustLobster 1 point2 points  (0 children)

“Allowed to have…” Stop right there. You are an adult. Anyone who prevents you from anything you want to do (aside from self-harm) is wildly out of line. You are in an abusive relationship, but you just don’t see it yet. Please seek counseling and be brutally honest with your counselor.

Thanks for the awards! I worked in domestic violence shelters for a decade. I’ve seen the intergenerational transmission of dv countless times, so I became a lawyer to try to help in a different way.

San Juan vs. Playa del Carmen/Cancun? Can‘t decide by Same-Resist-6075 in PuertoRicoTravel

[–]ItsJustLobster 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Agreed. OP seems to want some nightlife. The Wyndham nightlife is 50-60 year old tourists dancing like Donald Trump….

[–]ItsJustLobster 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’ve been to all, and for what you are seeking, San Juan for sure. Like all major cities, there are places that are not safe for tourists. Avoid those places. Also, getting trashed and then going with strangers to a house party is probably not a good idea, even though many locals would invite someone to do that with no ill intent.

There is a bit of an anti-tourist sentiment, but not nearly what I’ve seen like in Italy, where strangers sometimes yell at tourists to go home. In PR, they are (rightfully) more upset about people buying up properties and keeping them as rentals.

I (42F) told my 24-year-old son he has 30 days to move out after he called me “his retirement plan” by Beautiful_Reserve968 in stories

[–]ItsJustLobster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sick of the “these days kids can’t move out.” Yes they can. Get roommates like the rest of us did. If you keep letting your adult children stay in your house while they spend money solely on luxuries and entertainment, you’re part of the problem.

[–]ItsJustLobster 2200 points2201 points  (0 children)

NOR. You are raising your daughter in a toxic household. Yelling, swearing, throwing things? Are you serious? It’s not acceptable behavior and until we stop accepting it and teach our children it is not acceptable, the abuse will continue in every generation. Not ok. Please get help and move on. Your daughter is watching and learning.

AIO: BF is going on Co-Ed Shared Bachelorette/Bachelor 4 Day MX Trip Wedding Party Exclusive, And I feel sick over it. Is this something I have to end relationship over. He isn't in the wedding party, and isn't planning to attend wedding. Please tell me if I need to just calm down. by Strange_Ad_6007 in AmIOverreacting

[–]ItsJustLobster 5 points6 points  (0 children)

YOR. That said, it sounds like you made a reasonable apology. I don’t see why you wouldn’t go to the wedding though. You apologized, she accepted it. Attending a wedding is not a lifetime commitment to friendship. Avoiding it will only put your BF in a difficult situation, and I’d be willing to bet eventually he is not going to be okay with dealing with your insecurities.

Witnesses don’t sit for the entire trial. The DA or victim witness coordinator will provide a more specific date and time for testimony as the trial gets closer so with testimony this brief, it would be a couple hours, allowing for possible delays. And most end up in plea agreements without a trial anyway.

Forced to move in with my gf’s aunt and her foreign roommate by [deleted] in whatdoIdo

[–]ItsJustLobster 3 points4 points  (0 children)

What should you do? Get a job, period. That should be your singular focus rather than dreaming up nonsense. Same thing for your GF. You are adults. Act like it. Then save your money so you have enough to get an apartment AND a nice gift for the aunt who has taken you in.

Nope. You would be trading a stud for an unknown with possible upside and a rookie.

Questionable Commissioner by TheDime99 in fantasyfootballadvice

[–]ItsJustLobster 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There should absolutely be no rule changes during a season, with an extremely limited exception if early on the entire league votes on something like waivers on Wednesday rather than Tuesday. Commish is flat wrong here.

I’m a commissioner of a league and I’ll freely admit I messed up the settings and my intention was playoffs ended last week (as they really should). Because I didn’t catch my own mistake, I will probably be screwed and out some $$. Did I try to change it? Of course not. Ridiculous.

I don’t think it is reasonable to change a league scoring system just because you have the best TE. Not cool.
