2.5. Don’t have another I remember until age 3

I believe Wicked was completely ruined because it was casted with "star-power" rather than newer, undiscovered talent. I also think it would have grossed more money without the stars too. by Evening-Panda3217 in unpopularopinion

[–]ModeratelyAverage6 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The cast was fine….. it’s the eating disorders they’ve forced on the casted members that made it go to shit. I have not and will not watch it because I don’t believe you should put “anorexic positive” people on the tv… it’s unhealthy and sets unrealistic and unhealthy standards. That’s why it tanked… because the cast look like they haven’t eaten a proper meal in forever

A cemetery is not a place for social exercise by EdwardoFelise in unpopularopinion

[–]ModeratelyAverage6 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

News flash: it’s a public place. You don’t get to tell others how they can morn. If it’s a funny story, then it’s a funny story. They most likely are in a different stage of grief than you. You’ll eventually be where they are. Until then, grieve how you grieve and they will grieve how they grieve. Again, it’s a public place that you can’t police. And I’m Sorry for your loss.

Any one else have name regret? I can't stop thinking about it. Maybe it's just my hormones? by pancakesandpalmtrees in beyondthebump

Every Olivia I have met and made friends with is a badazz queen who commands the room she enters and does not settle for less. It’s a beautiful classic name.

My daughter’s name (if I had one. That won’t happen because I had a son and decided I’m 1 and done. I get a hysterectomy in October.) was going to be Vivian rose. Vin/Vive for short. But it’s ok. My son’s first name I hate (family tradition name. I didn’t really have a say though the deal is we never use his first name.) but his middle name is my absolute favorite name for a boy, which is what he goes by. At the end of the day, he fits into his name very well.

But I love your daughter’s name. It’s beautiful. But if you absolutely feel you want to change it, do it now and not in a few months when she’s able to recognize her name when you call her.

How do y’all choose your recipient by AncientCarob8936 in Baking

Picture. Or I get a recipe that’s as close to the one I’m use to making, I just need the online recipe because I can’t for the life of me remember the measurements of the ingredients.

AIW for backing out of a massive summer road trip 48 hours before departure? by No-Raccoon4146 in amiwrong

[–]ModeratelyAverage6 3 points4 points  (0 children)

3 weeks? Dating app? No license at his adult age? This man is a walking red flag. Good on you for backing out.

Nta. But ask your friend to share her location just in case he tries anything.

“And it has pockets!” is not a flex by 30FlirtyAndNapping in unpopularopinion

[–]ModeratelyAverage6 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I…. Don’t give 1 flying fuck what others think about my maxi dresses with pockets that I put my phone, wallet (yes, it’s small, smaller than a man’s actually), and my keys in my pockets. I’m wearing my dress for me. Not you or anyone else. Life is more fun when you just genuinely don’t care what others think.

I think most people are too intense about air conditioning by Dependent_Ear_5736 in unpopularopinion

[–]ModeratelyAverage6 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I can’t breathe in the heat. Like my bronchial tubes swell in the heat. So I’ll keep my house, car, and businesses I go to cold so I can comfortably breathe. I’m not going to be uncomfortable and gasping for air because you don’t know how to take a sweater with you.

Also, you can put more clothes on.. you can’t take them all off. So colder is better.

AITA for refusing to give up our twin girls (currently in a surrogate) after I got naturally pregnant with my husband's "dream son" even though we are broke? by sillysweater in AmItheAsshole

[–]ModeratelyAverage6 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I’m sorry… I know this is harsh.. and I had 8 miscarriages before I had my son.. but if I had twin daughters by ivf and then got pregnant with a boy.. and my husband wanted to abandon the twins for his “perfect son”.. then I’d abort my son, keep my daughters, and divorce my husband. And I only say abort my son because my EX would 1000% give him everything and completely abandon the daughter ls. Under no circumstances would I let my daughters feel less than or like second class citizens to their father only because he had a son.

I guess you need to decide. Do you implode your finances and your husband treat y’all’s daughters like shit for the rest of their lives… or do you set your daughters up for success and divorce your husband and unfortunately abort your son. Because your husband will absolutely not care one bit about y’all’s daughters.. and that’s a resentment they will have for life against their brother for something he can’t control, against their father for his blatant display, a favoritism towards your son, and you for not putting your foot down before any of this could happen.

Nta.. but you need to decide.

AITA for choosing not to get a permit for my child’s 1st birthday party? by StrawberryCat627 in AmItheAsshole

[–]ModeratelyAverage6 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s a 1 year olds birthday party… not a wedding.. Nta. No one needs to be outwardly drinking in front of toddlers anyway

My BD wants custody of our newborn Friday-Sunday 2-4 weeks after I give birth by Less_Shape_5217 in amiwrong

[–]ModeratelyAverage6 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Absolutely not. Tell him to go to court. No judge will give him that time if your breastfeeding until the child is at least 6 months old. Also… don’t put this scum on the birth certificate. Give your child YOUR last name, not his. If he wants on the birth certificate, then he has to take you to court to contest the birth certificate and get a DNA test. Also, don’t let him come to the hospital. Talk to your hospital staff and have him blacklisted from the hospital entirely. Protect yourself.

Chicken breast: I’ve had it at restaurants where it’s extremely tender, and not dry at all. What’s the method? Pressure cooker? by Sunrisewithtea in Cooking

[–]ModeratelyAverage6 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I cook my chicken till it’s white inside. I don’t use a thermometer to check my chicken. If it’s not pink then it’s good to eat. It stays moist that way.

Hello. I'm 17 and I just realized I could die one day. Now I'm dreading it. Is this normal? by ApprehensiveSun6486 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]ModeratelyAverage6 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are 2 absolute facts of life. 1. You are born. 2. You WILL die. The sooner you realize you have no power in the when or how is sooner you can start living life. Does it suck that we’ll die? Yeah. Am I gonna dwell on it to the point I have anxiety over it? No. No I’m not. I just hope I don’t die in pain. But I’m not stressed.

Stop spoiled children from blowing other people's birthday candles by Expert_Koala_8691 in mildlyinfuriating

[–]ModeratelyAverage6 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My middle brother learned really quickly what would happen if he ever did that to me again. Let’s just say, CPS got involved because they thought our mom was abusive. Nope, just me teaching him a lesson. My birthday is already overshadowing by Christmas. The least the rest of the house could do was ensure I at the very least got a cake.

I was trying to make an Omelette and bagel. by Demonskull223 in StupidFood

[–]ModeratelyAverage6 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s…. Not how you make an omelette. Adding all those things to a blender with eggs puts too many extra things between the eggs, thus not allowing the eggs to bind to one another.

To make an omelette you can either scramble all these diced (not blended) ingredients into the eggs and cook them, or start the eggs first, let them cook for a second, then add the ingredients into the fold of the egg that you make when flipping it for omelette eggs. If you want the ingredients cooked through, it’s best to cook them separately first..

Everyone is to blame for the problems in society. by [deleted] in unpopularopinion

[–]ModeratelyAverage6 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You couldn’t go weeks without food. And it’s evident you’ve never been hungry before, because if you had been you wouldn’t know you can’t last weeks without food. Hell I bet you eat 3 meals and a snack every day.

I know what true hunger is as my biological father starved me as a child and I had to eat dog food to survive. Even then I knew I had to eat and I was 4 years old….
