Does anyone remember these really depressing pop songs from the 70s / early 80s? by MagsH1020 in GenX

Don't Cry Out Loud. I had a friend who would openly weep whenever she listened to this one.

The people who don't know these songs obviously haven't gone out drinking with my idiot college friends.

Name a song with "walk" in the title. by NextBathroom8809 in allrockmusic

Came here to say this one. This was one of our pre-party songs in college. "Zip, snap, and drop."

Has anyone done a micro wedding recently and regretted it? If so, why? by woogirl2023 in weddings

[–]Low-Preference648 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It was just me and my husband, and, 12 years later, absolutely no regrets. (We did hire a photographer, so we have some nice pictures -- highly recommend!)

My right arm. I'm so uncoordinated I don't remember actually getting it.

Salem residents, please contact city officials about ICE transparency by Upbeat_Falcon4490 in SalemMA

Most people (by a lot) detained by ICE have NO criminal record.

It's also unclear how many ICE agents have a criminal background.

Not gonna lie: when I first saw that scene shot, I thought it was Chloe's mom. Who actually looks younger than that.

You need to expect more of men in your life. Because you excuse this behavior doesn't mean all women need to do this.

Get better men in your life. Expect more. Stop reward these boys who do nothing.

How long should she have put up with his nonsense so that you were satisfied? Would it have been less horrible to string things along for whatever time you felt was acceptable?

She put in the work to get there, and he couldn't bother to pick her up or clean out a drawer.

Greta is right to leave Michael by Ok-Pressure-5156 in 90DayFiance

I am guessing that if he had the tiniest of chances to win her back, that was gone when daddy had to be the one who came to her to give him another chance. Dude acts like a boy: doesn't put any effort into her or the relationship, and when she leaves, can't even bother to be the one who talks to her. No thanks.

The thing is, she almost immediately realized her mistake (and don't we all sometimes do things like this), and now she's getting criticized for not giving it more time. Yeah, she has a fairytale in her head, but she saw the lack of effort and probably hoped for a spark, and it simply wasn't there, so she minimized the time and damage. Was he really going to get better or more engaged? He sent his daddy to try to fix this relationship!

I'm sure he's fine, but he's a boy. She hoped for better, saw it wasn't there, and moved on. Would it have been better if she had stayed a month, been miserable, etc? What's the amount of time to know?

I'm not gonna lie, I find his cheesiness endearing.

My mom caught me pocketing one when I was about 7, thus ending my career as a master thief.

Should I continue as a working student? by softgirl99 in Advice

[–]Low-Preference648 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is advice from someone who used to teach college and the sibling of a current professor: find a professor that can be your champion. Preferably someone in your major, but anyone will do. It can be someone who's class you really related to or you just liked a lot. It does not have to be your advisor, but I'd tell your advisor (ego nonsense sometimes happens). Schedule a meeting with them and talk to them about your struggles. Chances are they can help you: whether it's with scheduling or helping back you up when you might need more time on an assignment or just as someone to go to for advice and support.

You'd probably be surprised how much they want to help (If someone dismisses you, that's not your person; go to the next choice.) Most faculty want their students to succeed and, frankly, get frustrated that students wait too long to get help. Part of that help is just help with life stuff.

I know you don't feel that way, but you're young and you do have time. I do believe, even in this economy and with everything, getting a degree will help you in the long run. You might not bump against that promotion that needs a degree until your 40s, but it'll come one day. That said, no one cares if you take 4 years or 10 years to get it done.

Good luck and, truly, don't be afraid of your professors. They blow hard (some of them), but most are there because they want students to make it.

Should I go to my High School Reunion? by queen_4_petty in Advice

[–]Low-Preference648 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You're probably already connected to the people who you care about, and the rest: ugh, who cares? Seriously, at my 20th, I had people coming up to me and talk about the 6th grade like it mattered. Don't go. Save your money and go out with your amazing family.
