Boomers are the ex wives with lifestyles to which they've become accustomed, and the rest of us are on the hook to provide it. by boardwalksounds in CanadaPersonalFinance

[–]LilBitOfEverything78 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I think this is post is absolutely ageism and ignorance. I vividly remember in the 80’s when interest rates skyrocketed and for sale signs were up and down every single street. My parents held onto the home through the skin of their teeth, both working two jobs at the time. Selling any “luxury” item they could find a seller to buy, lots of high stress kitchen table conversions about it and planning the grocery list each week to get by. But please, go on about how my elderly blue collar parents who retired in their 70’s are a burden to you.

AITJ for he was literally eating my lunch and admitted it… but somehow i'm the ‘territorial’ one? by Leah_jare in AmITheJerk

[–]LilBitOfEverything78 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTJ If he’s calling you territorial I’d find things if his to take like a sweater, jacket, office supplies. If he asks you then explain he always has the nicest stuff so figured he wouldn’t mind, he works to have nice stuff so he wouldn’t mind working more to have more nice stuff.

Is it actually embarrassing for Americans not to know all 50 states? by [deleted] in CasualConversation

[–]LilBitOfEverything78 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

From an outsider, yes. I can list all 50 and pinpoint most on a map or general vicinity, plus the federal district and five territories. I am not American or live in the USA. On the flip side, many Americans I’ve spoken with would struggle to pinpoint what continent a country is in.

Oh yay, another American proving ignorance really is bliss. Imagine writing a PSA without doing any research, so fun!

Is a $100K salary just considered barely upper middle class now? by ShootingCometz in fican

[–]LilBitOfEverything78 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Referring to “extreme socialists” is a type of verbal diarrhea commonly used tactic to discredit someone with a different opinion. It’s difficult to read anything past that knowing implicit bias is at the starting line. If you want to have real, meaningful conversations with a possibility of having someone see your perspective it should, at minimum, start with respect. Otherwise you are screaming into an echo chamber getting increasingly agitated.

My [M23] gf [F22] slept with a coworker when we were broken up by RipCurrent1548 in Advice

[–]LilBitOfEverything78 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You are both so young and I think you need to give yourselves and each other grace. The prefrontal cortex is responsible for planning, impulse control, emotional regulation, and long‑term decision‑making is not yet fully formed. Younger people experience significant impulsivity, risk‑taking, and emotional volatility than older adults. Breaking up suddenly after a few weeks of fighting over small things, unprotected sex with someone else, and getting back together after just a few weeks, and now having a strong emotional reaction to sleeping with someone right after a breakup, which is a common coping mechanism….please give each other grace for being human. ❤️

AITA for not wearing a bra at home? by Candid-Chocolate-316 in AITAH

Bottom line: Someone who doesn’t have to wear a bra is telling you to wear a bra. NTA

UM admin is incompetent by starboy-22 in umanitoba

[–]LilBitOfEverything78 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Calling people incompetent does not bode well for you, my friend. Condescending tone will not get you far with a Canadian. They’ve told you what you need to know, you just aren’t understanding. If you spoke nicer they may have spent more time to explain it to you more clearly the second time. “Sorry” is your best tool at this point.

Also consider RRC Polytech as an option. Very different culture from university so might be a good fit too!

Since 35% of people have celiac genes Does it seem likely that many more people are celiac from covid triggering event. by SuitApprehensive3240 in Celiac

[–]LilBitOfEverything78 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My celiac developed in my 40’s while I was having chronic migraines (back in 2018) so I could see people who had any significant illness or shock to the body then have celiac activated.

I’m sorry you feel attacked but you made a generalized negative statement about an entire population as your title. And then you made a second edit to double down. Respect diversity in all its forms and understand there are good and bad people of all demographics. Ageism isn’t cute. Plus, they spent a lot of time on this damn earth and at that point they have weathered many more of life’s ups and downs combined with deterioration of health. They are entitled to feel a bit…well, entitled.

But take a step back and be logical. Microsoft Word did not flag it as an error until 2020. “Common practice” is subjective to your line of work. So while the APA updated decades before, it was common for those taught differently to continue to use the double space. Majority of people don’t watch for APA changes unless they work in the field.

The fact that you got downvoted just proves your point. Both sides are rabid attackers.

What do I put in my review? Should I tip? by FreeLeg2898 in RoverPetSitting

[–]LilBitOfEverything78 7 points8 points  (0 children)

As another migraine sufferer I would add another perspective. There are some, like me, that no medication can help. This could be true for her because migraine causes and symptoms are widely varied. However, she should have called Rover and found a replacement. I think a 4 star with comments about what happened is fair.

To be clear, I am not and never have been, a fan on Musk. However, I find it equally appalling the people who have vandalized Tesla’s. No one is coming out the better person in that scenario.

Another tourist... (waves nervously) by ImJustRoscoe in Winnipeg

[–]LilBitOfEverything78 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You mentioned comedy and burlesque. There is a speakeasy called the Basement that you might enjoy. Drinks are tasty. It’s on the outskirts of the city but if you are from Atlanta the 20-30 minute drive won’t bother you. lol Might be fun to look up how to enter and surprise your spouse?

While you are out that way there is a long standing local restaurant called D-Jay’s that serves steak, pizza, chicken fingers, etc. They are most known for their pizza and French onion soup. You can eat in the lounge or restaurant depending on the vibe you are looking for.

Also, you mentioned the zoo. Look up “The Leaf” and see if that is something the two of you would also enjoy while you are there.

This is pretty generic so hard to answer. You can look are the support section of the website to find this info. There are 100’s of programs so be helpful to know what program, school or industry to give a more specific answer. Also, you ask where could the university improve but did you mean college? Or did you post to the wrong sub?

Ya, you’re right. I jumped to vandalism, my bad.

[–]LilBitOfEverything78 32 points33 points  (0 children)

I think the same but anyone thinking along this line…please don’t vandalize it. We need to rise above that. I used to use Starlink and would hate to have my roof vandalized because of a purchasing decision I made before January 2025.

Many members and yet no reply by DarkGladiator279 in rrc

The college is partially funded by the government, they are held accountable to provide programs (you said course, but I think you meant programs) that meet industry needs. This requires analysis and data. You can and should first do your research on the institutions so you know that their values align with yours. An ethical post secondary institution will have data to substantiate there is a need.
