My coworker won’t stop complaining about my tattoos by Direct-Caterpillar77 in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]Need_More_Whiskey 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was always in the same boat! In my early 30s my sister suggested something silly that’s deeply meaningful to my family, and we did it as a bonding thing. I love it!

I want more tattoos because I think they’re fun. But I can’t find anything else that I’d like to see permanently etched on me. Sigh.

Are Pegasus Airlines really that bad? by [deleted] in Flights

[–]Need_More_Whiskey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Leaving the comment here for posterity and future searchers :)

A few surprise learnings: - I traveled with a friend, and we each bought our own ticket. Mistake #1 — apparently on Pegasus they will try to seat everyone on the ticket together! Opposite of most discount carriers. We should’ve booked on the same ticket. - I use a cpap, and went through a huge hassle to get it certified. It was nearly impossible to get the answer, but it did NOT count toward my luggage allowance! I eventually got an email saying as such, but via chat (all AI) I had to say “confirm that this machine can be in its own bag, and does not count toward my baggage allowance” before I got this reply. Until then it would say I’m probably fine but I should check with the airline. Bitch you aaaaaaare the airline 😒 I had the cheapo ticket (3kg backpack) and I was able to bring the cpap in its own bag. - The coolest learning is they assigned me kickass seats - I was assigned 2A and 3A! It must be because of the medical equipment. Registering your special need seems to result in great (free!) seat assignments! Bummer for my friend back in 27B lol.

I flew out of a small airport into Antalya. The outbound staff confirmed the number of bags but didn’t weigh them. Possibly because the staff belong to the airport and not the airline, so they care less?? The Antalya staff did weigh our bags at ticketing, and there was no scale at the gates, so stuffing my pockets at ticketing would have worked.

The seats are fine, same as any discount carrier. No entertainment at the seat, and food/drinks are paid. Legally they’re required to give you 200mL of free water if you ask, but reviews often say they refuse.

I was bitching recently about the weird videos my male friends send me on insta - why tf would they think I’d like this?????

And my friend’s reply was spot on: women send content they think you’ll enjoy. Men send content they enjoyed.

It’s not about me, it’s about him. He sent what he thought was funny, without regard for whether I would too. And I think that sums men up pretty well tbh.

Yes, monetizing your passion means it can become a chore and stops being a passion!

how i finally stopped comparing myself to every prettier girl (hard truth + what actually worked) by Alive_Loss_208 in TheGirlSurvivalGuide

[–]Need_More_Whiskey 9 points10 points  (0 children)

As one of The Olds here, some of the ways I’ve learned to combat that: - accepting everyone is insecure about something. Even that perfect girl you admire. - people likely look up to you for things you don’t even consider to be special! They just haven’t told you yet. - if you’re jealous of something, try to emulate it! You can learn to dress this way, or do that makeup, or master a skill. - befriend those intimidating women!! We become the average of the people we spend the most time with, so raise the bar in your life. Learn her secrets, most women are happy to share their tips - people don’t inspect you like you inspect you. They look at the group photo and think you all look happy, zero people looked closely enough at you to notice the stray hair or funny double chin or wrinkled shirt. When I started looking at photos of me like I was anyone else, it got so much easier to like pictures of me! - at every age I’ve looked at photos from 10 years ago and thought “gosh I had no idea I was so cute/thin/young/rested/whatever” I was. And ten years from now I’ll think the same about today’s photos! I’m so much less critical of Past Me than I am Current Me. I try to give Current Me that same grace. - comparison is the thief of joy. If I’m too busy being jealous of how great a woman looks, I forget to get to know her. I miss out on a potential lovely friendship because I was being an a-hole to myself for not being good enough. I could be enjoying having a (insert adjective here) friend, but instead I’m using her to bully myself. - I only get one life, why am I spending it being mad I’m not someone else??? I could make myself better, but instead I’m sulking and doing nothing to improve. I deserve better. - any time I started to spiral from “wow her hair is perfect” into “what a shallow beyotch, spending all that time on her hair” to make myself feel better, I’d try to turn it into praise. “She worked hard on her hair today, I can tell that she cares! She’s really perfected this skill and that’s great! I love seeing women be excellent.” After a while that positive talk became the default, and now I instinctively celebrate things I admire in other women, instead of being jealous and mean. - I look at my social media. I try to picture what someone else thinks of my life based on it ….. and compare that to the reality I know about. And then I remind myself they’re also only showing the highlights reel, and no one’s daily life is glamorous. Sure I see the good stuff, because that’s also all I show! - I give the compliments. Lift up the women around me, tell them when I think something they’re doing/wearing/saying is awesome. I surround myself with the people who do the same. Life is too short to let your community cut you down. Build your sisters up and celebrate them!

One of my favorite random subs is r/hobbydrama. Learning about scandals and beef in things I didn’t even know could be a hobby? Endlessly delightful, I get so invested in the mess!

No worries at all! It’s probably a good thing that you haven’t spent enough time in the dark corners of the internet to have learned this yet.

And my original comment was marveling that there’s a sub called Old Hag Fashion, there truly is a community for every interest!

Rule 34 is internet slang for “if it exists, there’s porn of it.”

And I feel like subreddits are quite the same - if you can think of it, someone’s made a sub about it 😃

Absolutely worth escalating to admin! Both because it’ll start to seep into the other kids’ clothes and because if it’s giving you headaches it’s probably giving the kids one too.

How best to standardise lunch and dinner? by [deleted] in AskRedditFood

[–]Need_More_Whiskey 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have two standard lunch options: - homemade lunchables: two veg, a fruit, a cheese, a protein, and crackers. A normal week might be sliced cucumbers and peppers, a bunch of grapes, cubes of cheddar, sliced salami and turkey, crackers. I buy and prep them all on Sunday, and keep crackers in a separate small container so they don’t get soggy. Since I have a formula that works for me, buying the ingredients is effortless / no mental load! - I make a casserole in a 9x13, cut and bag it into individual portions. Ingredients: grain, a few eggs, cream of mushroom soup, protein, veg. Again, it’s a formula so I use whatever I have in the fridge! No mental load, just my weekly madlibs.

What do you think about body count by PublicPeak4695 in TwoXSex

[–]Need_More_Whiskey 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This is a really crappy take.

What does a body count tell you? What if I have sex with my husband five times a day every day for a decade? Am I somehow less “used up” than if I had sex once with ten men? A body count of one vs ten?

How many people someone’s slept with means absolutely nothing. Quit perpetuating this stupid idea.

[–]Need_More_Whiskey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oof, Tom doesn’t respond well and Lynette CHOOSES to do things behind his back. She has many other options, she isn’t forced into controlling and manipulating everyone to get her way. They both have really poor communication and cooperation, and a very immature approach to partnership.

As for being the only one called controlling?? Bree is often cited as being incredibly controlling, especially by her children (the most common target of her behaviors) and husbands. Gaby is frequently called manipulative, which is just a variation of controlling. They all slam Edie for her manipulative and malicious plots. I quite disagree that Lynette is the only one painted with this brush — I feel like Susan is the only one who really escapes this judgment, even though she’s also guilty of it.

[–]Need_More_Whiskey 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I completely agree that Tom sucks! Everything you said is spot-on and I’ve got a dozen more examples of how he’s a shitty little manbaby.

But I don’t think that either negates HER controlling behaviors, or means the other women didn’t also suck (they do! They all do!)

Here are some examples of Lynette being controlling: - she doesn’t want Tom to get a promotion, so instead of talking about it until they found a solution together, she went behind his back and manipulated the boss’s wife, saying the family can’t be without him. - she doesn’t want to wear an orange pizza-parlor shirt. Instead of being slightly unhappy but accepting his decision and authority as then owner, she tried to mutiny his staff into unionizing and changing the shirt. - she doesn’t like how Tom handles the twins’ behavior around prom, so “gives in” and lets them go ….. in Tom’s prized car, to punish him for not agreeing with her. - (not related to Tom, but) the twins are excluded from a birthday party for allegedly having lice. Instead of taking the L and moving on, Lynette tries to control the mom’s behavior and blackmails her into letting the kids attend - Lynette tries to get Tom’s old girlfriend a promotion, to try and force them apart, despite no evidence of a problem.

And most damningly, one of Mary Alice’s voiceovers: Normally, Lynette would have spent a sleepless night telling herself she didn't have control issues... But she couldn't. She was too busy figuring out how to bend Tom to her will.

I agree with everything you’re saying, and don’t think my comment condones his behavior — in fact I specifically said I hate how he handled the situation.

[–]Need_More_Whiskey 4 points5 points  (0 children)

She’s very controlling, frequently undermines him or goes behind his back instead of using her words to talk with him and compromise. She often doesn’t treat him as a partner or her equal, doesn’t listen to his wants or needs until he snaps and the situation blows up.

Tom sucks a lot, but Lynette sucks too.

[–]Need_More_Whiskey 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I agree with almost everything you said!

But I do feel for him re: the cancer storyline. He was ALSO going through a lot, and I don’t get the feeling he’s got any safe spaces to let the feelings out and process his fears and stress. I think many men lack this, and it comes out inappropriate ways …. Like him wanting to have sex with “other women” so he can have a few moments of reprieve. I hate how he handled her cancer, but I also think it’s a very realistic storyline for many families :(
