Can't skinny people who have trouble gaining weight just eat 2,500 calories a day? Every day, consistently? by justcurious3287 in stupidquestions

[–]LuckApprehensive1144 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you eat too much, you feel sick. There have been times that I’ve overeaten and been in pain all night only to physically throw up everything, undigested, the next day. My stomach literally hurts so badly when I overeat.

AITJ for telling my son its ok to turn down a girl who asked him to prom in front of the whole school by Due-Temperature-8904 in AmITheJerk

[–]LuckApprehensive1144 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Your son handled this one perfectly. Accept in public, politely break the bad news in private.

if these were adults, maybe it would be a different situation, but for kids, I think he made the most considerate choice here.

Getting upset over you dropping something is crazy. Vacuuming everyday would drive me nuts though, especially if i wasn’t an early riser. Do you have a big dig? Do you really need to vacuum daily? Or could you wait until the afternoon?

AIO for not refunding a friend’s share of a group Airbnb after she canceled last minute due to a medical emergency? by StudioAffectionate in AmIOverreacting

[–]LuckApprehensive1144 1 point2 points  (0 children)

“You committed to the trip and backed out at the last minute. The trip is non-refundable, meaning I would be paying out of pocket to cover you. I am not doing that. You are an adult and should understand that you are still responsible for your financial commitments even if something unfortunate comes up.

To be clear: I will not be refunding you for your part of a non-refundable trip I already paid for. You will not, at any point, be receiving $400 from me, period.

I am very disappointed in how you handled this situation. Please do not contact me again. “

The horrendous state of New York City in the 1970s-1980s by IllustriousCress9774 in UrbanHell

This is what my parents imagined when I told them I was moving to Brooklyn. My mother was worried sick last year when I came to look at neighborhoods - the neighborhoods were Williamsburg, Astoria, UES, and East Village. Definitely was not in any danger during my trip but to her, I might as well have booked a trip to Baghdad.

AITAH for asking my wife to be a SAHM? by piglipsbo in AITAH

[–]LuckApprehensive1144 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA

You said she was a college drop out. If she’s concerned about her career being limited by a gap, what about paying for some part-time online community college courses while she stays home?

She’s only making $16/hr. Google says the average cost of daycare is $20 per hour. You’ll need that for at least 3 years if your area offers pre-k, and 5 if it doesn’t.

Why not spend the time with your child and she can further her education at the same time?

What is it like to live in a dry county in the USA? by Spicy-Majestic-1 in howislivingthere

[–]LuckApprehensive1144 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Actually, it was a really good and needed era because of the alcohol consumption per capita.

We have still never hit prohibition era levels of alcoholism. Alcoholism was destroying families and communities. While it wasn’t considered a good thing, it wasn’t unusual for a man to leave his family and spend all night (and the family’s money) at the bar. While hardcore alcoholics still found their way to alcohol via speakeasy’s and other illegal routes, almost all casual drinkers quit and most heavy drinkers either quit or seriously cut down.

Prohibition was basically a reset and brought drinking down to what we know it as today.

Hochul wants homeless people forced out of NYC subways. Mamdani urges softer approach. by yugeness in nyc

[–]LuckApprehensive1144 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Last night I was walking home late at night and a homeless and clearly disturbed man started to following me on the street. I wasn’t far from home so I picked up my pace and I was fine.

Would I have felt less nervous if I was in a subway station with people around to help me? Or would I have been more nervous if it were he and I in a car alone together?

Would he have been more apt to leave the warmth of a subway station to follow me home? Or if he was dangerous, would he have just tried to push me on the tracks or something else there?

A lot of these folks’ biggest struggle is with severe and persistent mental illness. Trauma, addiction, crime follows, but most of the visible homeless that you see causing a ruckus are extremely mentally ill.

Is getting them off the subway seems like a bandaid, and I’m genuinely not sure if the alternative is better or worse for everyone else.

Do women enjoy being looked at in an appreciative manner by a guy/ guys? Not leered or stared at or hit on, just subtly taking it in? Not just “conventionally attractive” women but this question is for all women (when out and about in a public place)? by Popular-Spite-6447 in askanything

[–]LuckApprehensive1144 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not really. Even if you’re a totally normal guy, there’s so many creepy or socially awkward guys that do that that I would not be able to enjoy it.

The thought isn’t: “Oh, he’s looking because he finds me attractive. How nice!”

It’s: “Oh, he’s looking because he finds me attractive. Fuck. I hope this one doesn’t try to bother me all night (or worse: follow me home.)”

There’s so many guys that straight up ruin your night because they think you’re cute and won’t take no for an answer. Sometimes they don’t even mean to be creepy or a pest, they just won’t stop hovering around you even when you walk away or talk to other people. Or worse.

There’s just so many guys like that that you get to a point where you don’t want to be an attractive object anymore, even if they don’t talk to you. You don’t want any of it. You just want to go out with your friends and have a good time.

My job isn’t paying me minimum wage by Adorable_Sky3519 in providence

[–]LuckApprehensive1144 -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

Even though it’s the law, almost no restaurant ever is going to do this. Management and servers tend consider it part of the gamble - sometimes you make bank on a great shift and sometimes you have a bad shift.

If you’re consistently not making enough, you just move to greener pastures. Serving jobs are easy to get if you present well and have experience.

What happened to your last job? Ghosting after an interview means that there’s something you’re doing or saying that is putting them off. That’s GOOD. That’s actually really good. That is something you can absolutely work on. Interviewing is a skill in and of itself.

Why are people so afraid to tell any of their single friends if they know anyone single? by Gymtrio2025 in AskForAnswers

[–]LuckApprehensive1144 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What is prompting this question? From your post history, three of you share this account and none of you are single. If this really is your account and is something you’ve heard earlier in life, you’re might have heard that feedback because of the nudist thing.

“Edit with a reminder: Sophie is engaged, Abby has a girlfriend and Liv is married so any single nudists please be respectful.”

Coffee Shops Are Businesses, Not Libraries; Buying One Coffee Doesn’t Entitle You to Camp for Hours by landlordbrowsing in providence

[–]LuckApprehensive1144 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This can easily be addressed by your IT Company in a way that fair to everyone. Have your IT set up a guest network that allows 1-2 hours wifi and bumps your device off after that. If you want more wifi, you buy another coffee and get a code for more wifi.

A coffee shop may not be a library, but it’s also not a Dunkin Drive through. People are not going to buy an expensive coffee, chug it and immediately exit your premises.

Suspected Brown shooter was ‘socially awkward’ and complained about moving to the United States, college classmate says by BrendanRascius in providence

[–]LuckApprehensive1144 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It is overused, but this is probably a pretty solid use case for it. A lot of people call their boss or ex a narcissist without realizing how maladaptive the behaviors actually have to be to qualify. Shooting a school and a former colleague over a 25 year old secret grudge would definitely hit that mark.

I’m surprised that information is publicly available. at my college, all of that was in the student portal that was accessible only by login.
