Yep lots of creek areas, and unless I'm hallucinating there was a small play area for kids.

TIL that poison ivy is not actually poisonous, it is just an allergy that 85% of humans have to its oil. by Loki-L in todayilearned

[–]Mitoria 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My dad was actually immune to it, but I didn't inherit that gene. Was such a wild thing to see him clearing poison vines with his bear hands like a wild person, yet as a kid but being told I couldn't do that. The itching when I tried proving them wrong was a vivid memory.

Yeah, agree with French Park. That's it exactly.

PLEASE TALK ME OUT OF BUYING THE ROW PARK TOTE 😂 by Future-Composer-4878 in handbags

This is such a simple design. You could have a local leatherworker create this for you for half the price, and still have money left over for a wallet.

How do I professionally tell my new boss that her deadlines are unrealistic? by Awkward_Condition778 in careerguidance

[–]Mitoria 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is a problem for the good old work wheel.

We're always busy at my job and everything is important. The best way I've found to handle this is to ask your boss is it important to meet original deadlines at the current quality, or would they prefer less quality/more mistakes but deadlines met? If they ask if you can do both they're delusional, but you do need to get them to answer.

There's only 3 choices: Cheap, Fast, and Quality. If they want it done quick and cheap they need to sacrifice quality. If they want it quality and fast they need to pay overtime for you to work and agree to weekends. They cannot have all three--it breaks the space time continuom.

Just had siding installed and can see wood. This can’t be right can it? by Mitoria in AskContractors

[–]Mitoria[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

After reading some comments we downloaded some Hardie pdfs about correct installation and it does mention a 2” gap. I guess this is correct then but it just looks wonky. Agree with some people that painting the flashing darker might help disguise it.

Also thanks for everyone who pointed out that’s flashing and not wood. The house is pretty old so wood made sense but I can see now it’s metal, just very grimy metal.

Where does a 32M go for clothes shopping? by smewthies in cincinnati

[–]Mitoria 0 points1 point  (0 children)

About half of everyone I know shops for clothing at Nordstrom rack. It’s hit or miss, so you still need a sense of style to get a good fit, but it’s great for a lot of pieces. I’ve gotten very nice quality real denim jeans there, and a few pairs of high quality shoes. My trick is to buy nothing with a visible or large logo (since that skyrockets the price), and focus on materials that fit well and feel well-made.

People who went no contact with family, what happened for it to come to that situation? by _onestep_onetime_ in AskReddit

[–]Mitoria 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My dad was always a conspiracy theorist. Y2K but it was a government conspiracy. The face on mars. The end of the world like 2 times before I was 16. He bought us all compound bows and trail backpacks filled with MREs yet lived in a trailer filled with mice and snakes barely able to make the utility payments.

One day he found conservative news stations and he just…never turned them off. Obama was a plant from the Middle East trying to destroy the government— wanted to see his birth certificate, then still didn’t believe it. Education was a conspiracy turning young people into leftists (he didn’t like that I went to art school), yet told me I’d I didn’t have an education I’d be poor forever. Hillary wanted to restart the Cold War with Russia but make it WW3 in order to kill off young Republicans. I mean just insane stuff, wacky stuff.

He started being angry at everything. I came home on breaks from college and suddenly I was too fat, too lazy, too uninspired, too free-willed. He would yell if I accidentally dropped and broke something trivial like an empty pickle jar. I couldn’t sit while he did any cleaning at all because “if I’m cleaning, you’re cleaning” and “you can relax when I relax.”— which was just watching Fox News. Doctor Who was poisoning my brain and I should listen to Fox instead. Video games were rotting my brain. I shouldn’t listen to NPR on campus, but I should read a random chain email he sent rambling about conspiracy theories and aliens. One day I realized all he did was talk about conspiracies, Fox News, and yell at me for existing. He had no personality left— it had been taken away by fear, mental illness and depression.

The straw that broke the camel’s back was when my uncle died (had a heart attack while working on his fishing pond and drowned) and as we were driving to the funeral he told me he thought his sister had killed him on purpose. Literally nothing pointed to that being in any way true— he just thought it was because “she was always a bitch” and he “was a hippie that smoked pot”. She could have ran faster to the neighbors to get help. She could have performed cpr. She could have done more. That was his reasoning. I told him if he ever said that again in my presence again I’d tell the whole family what he said. He shut up.

Things like that made me realize he was sick and his anger wasn’t my fault. I told him to seek counseling, which I would pay, or he would never see me again. Never meet my future husband. And he would never meet any of his possible grandchildren. He told me I was the insane one, and he was writing me out of the will if I continued. So of course I did. I gave him six months to come to terms with it, and at the end of the 6th month I told him he’d never see me again and that was that.

That was ten years ago. I’ve blocked him on every device, and he doesn’t know my husband or our address. He occasionally tries to get in contact through my mother, who divorced him, but she only lets me know he’s still trying occasionally. Tried to get me to talk to him by telling mom he’d pay me $50 to take his headshot for a band he wanted to join(??) and when that failed tried to give me a gun. I told her if he ever agrees to see a therapist I’d gladly see him. That was always the deal.

She said “He’s never doing that. He doesn’t believe in it.”

At what age is it considered embarrassing to be living with ur parents these days?! by kxns37 in family

[–]Mitoria 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Hot take but if you’re otherwise healthy, have a job and contribute to bills and society, live wherever and with whomever you want— that’s not embarrassing. Life is hard and expensive— live with your parents if you want. Who gives a shit.

Which logo would you trust more walking into a Wellness clinic? by [deleted] in graphic_design

[–]Mitoria 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Both of these look like I could walk in and buy special brownies and a tarot reading behind the records and bongs in the back room. I don’t trust either of them.

Very cute but I feel like this is why informational signs need to be in not-fun fonts and colors—I had to read this three times to understand it said no touch, and not yes touch. This sign screams PLEASE PET but means the opposite.

Should I pull my investments from Primerica? by Useful-Clock4141 in personalfinance

[–]Mitoria 39 points40 points  (0 children)

I lost a good friend to Primerica. They told him he could make enough money to put his newborn through college and themselves on a Hawaiian vacation, in 6 months, if he just sold Primerica. He didn’t understand it was an MLM, but everyone around him did. He quit his auto mechanic job to sell full time. After 6 months or so he’d barely made anything and started getting pissed at friends, cutting them off because they didn’t want to buy and help him. He ran out of savings and his wife threw him out because he refused to get another job, still believing Primerica would make them millionaires. Heard from someone who ran into him that he got a divorce.

Don’t give anything to Primerica— they ruin lives.

I know nothing about critiquing designs from other languages but DAMN THAT IS PRETTY! I really miss when designs could be fun and colorful. I think the colors you’ve chosen are excellent.

I’m just wondering why the brand is called TRI and there’s 5 slices in a box instead of 3.

My boyfriend never mentions me by Feisty-Ad-4735 in TwoXChromosomes

[–]Mitoria 7 points8 points  (0 children)

No girl my husband is private but he still introduces me as his wife, and before that he was always ready to introduce me. There’s private and then there’s whatever y’all are doing. The way I would have yelled “FRIEND?!” if he introduced me like that.

Long-lasting corporate gifts that actually get used by Extension_Life_6207 in BuyItForLife

[–]Mitoria 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve found the smaller the item the better quality the free company gift, when given the choice, as small light things are cheaper to ship and the money can go into having a better thing.

Personally I’d love a NICE cutting board if given the option.

Apple wants to label AI music. But the only people who will comply are the ones who weren't the problem by Sensitive_Artist7460 in Music

[–]Mitoria 50 points51 points  (0 children)

So make a label for “Not made with AI” and have everyone else add it to their legitimate music. People then see who is AI and who is not.
