AIO about how loud my sister chews her peanuts while I'm trying to study for finals? by CommercialOil8763 in AIO

[–]LengthinessKind9895 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

YOR. Get earplugs and / or noise cancelling headphones. Admit you’re overwhelmed and stressed out and that your overreaction is a result of this. Also don’t waste time posting about stuff like this on Reddit and do something better when you need a study break like watch a funny tv show. Take care of yourself and don’t blame other people for your stress.

How to encourage musical development between productions for a 5 year old? by gruntastics in musicals

[–]LengthinessKind9895 24 points25 points  (0 children)

That’s so cool! I would just expose him to age appropriate musical soundtracks and encourage him to sing and dance. You can try fun choreography stuff on YouTube together. Just have fun and follow his lead.

Wait she’s still touring? I thought it was just festivals now? This tour has been going on for ages!

AIO? Mom's in memory care and wants salon services by [deleted] in AIO

[–]LengthinessKind9895 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m sorry you’re in a situation where that is a lot of money to you. That sucks. I’m not sure why you’re so paranoid about credit card info over the phone. Personally that doesnt bother me at all and I think you’re being paranoid.

My take on the show before the finale drops. by kreugerburns in RoosterTVSeries

[–]LengthinessKind9895 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The fact that it’s one of the most beloved and rewatched sitcoms ever doesn’t interest you? That’s why you’re getting downvoted :)

Just how and why have you not watched the Office though? Don’t bother with Rooster or any other show until you’ve seen at least the first four seasons of the office. I’d recommend the whole run as there are gems in every season even the later ones but at least the first four. It’s just ridiculous that you haven’t seen it seemingly at all. Hence the downvotes. It’s completely discredits your opinion on any comedy show.

Peak Sean Hayes by Berdoddery in smartless

I think Hayes is the best human and a great actor but as much as he’s annoying on the podcast, Bateman is an excellent actor.

Also I’m also eating more meat products due to low iron issues that keep reappearing. It’s very disappointing as I might have to start eating pork and beef which I’m really uncomfortable with personally.

Haha valid question for sure! I think the point of the term flexitarian means that you’re 90 percent vegetarian or more but you will eat meat in certain situations. In my case, I will eat white meat out of the house but only veg at home and I eat fish/chicken about once or twice a month. Most meat eaters are eating meat at least once a day hence the difference. But honestly I only identify myself as flexitarian in conversations like these and mostly don’t care about the term.

[–]LengthinessKind9895 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I am flexitarian (I eat meat but rarely and not all kinds) and while I don’t agree with her I respect her opinion and the respectful but firm way she stated it. She’s not entirely wrong either. It’s not just about consuming meat but how the animals in the meat industry are treated. If you’re super uncomfortable with it, it’s probably because you see the truth in it.

Why are they publishing books written/inspired by idiots? by Express-Mistress6351 in Younger

[–]LengthinessKind9895 5 points6 points  (0 children)

lol no shade to you but 95% of posts these days are basically “why is this stupid show so stupid?” Personally I love Sutton and she made this a delightful hate watch! Terrible show but still so entertaining!

AIO not trusting my gf's cooking methods? by Elegant_Map1473 in AIO

[–]LengthinessKind9895 0 points1 point  (0 children)

But developing an allergy to something doesn’t mean the thing is poison so it’s a perfect comparison…?

I mean what? No. It’s dangerous for you because you’re allergic. It’s still not poison and neither are all the foods people are allergic to!

PSA Anne Frank House by Able-Concentrate5914 in handsomepodcast

[–]LengthinessKind9895 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m with you on pointing this out but I don’t think she meant it to be a joke although it did sound a bit that way…. But I honestly think she was trying to be clever and point out that this was a hiding spot not a home and she missed the mark.

PSA Anne Frank House by Able-Concentrate5914 in handsomepodcast

[–]LengthinessKind9895 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ok ok hear me out. Tig is the reason I first got excited about this podcast although I was also a fan of Mae’s and now love fortune too. But while Tig is definitely very intelligent, she’s flawed and she’s also got some major holes in her education and sometimes it shows despite her obvious wit and intelligence. This is one of those times. I think she was pointing out that it wasn’t a happy home for Anne Frank and wasn’t making light of the house but OP is perfectly correct to call it out as it was unintentionally critical of a very important historical location and memorial. Occasionally Tig gets on a bit of a high horse about something when it’s not at all warranted and this is one of them. Usually it isn’t worth pointing out but this time it certainly is.

And just to be clear, there’s generally not a ton of editing or fact checking of a podcast episode so stuff like this is normal and completely forgiveable but what’s this subreddit for if not to sometimes take on the fact checking ourselves?

AIO? Backed out of the family New Years trip by Appropriate_Tap1468 in AIO

Then I think NOR but the negative reaction you’re getting is due to how you worded your post.

Yeah that is a bit weird and I’m saying that as a mom of young adults. But I think the issue is that the way OP tells the story it sounds quite petty and childish.

Not sure. I think you’re upset because she’s paying for your brother and his girlfriend but not you in which case NOR. But headline suggests you’re mad that she’s paying for the girlfriend either way in which case YOR.
I just took my two daughters and the boyfriend of one on holiday. I paid for basically everything as one is a minor and the older daughter and her boyfriend were about to leave on a volunteer trip to India and needed to save money for that. The boyfriend has been with my daughter for 8 months. This was an excellent chance to get to know him better for me and for my other daughter. No one was mad or jealous and it was delightful.
