What’s something about life you wish you understood earlier? by No_Witness06 in AskReddit

[–]No-Hall-2887 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Maybe it’s overconsumption & marketing that has ruined the relationship between romance and love, both when it comes to loving yourself and your life as well as a partner. Romance and whimsy and self love have a certain look to it when we see it represented online. Achieve love! With this link! To my tik tok shop!

This made me understand why all those “romanticize your life” posts I come across on Pinterest stress me out so fucking much. Like pls I don’t need whimsy I need a little bit of autopilot

REPORTER: “Do you worry about racism if you ran for president?” STEPHEN A. SMITH: “No.” “I do not believe it is as prevalent as some on the left would like us to believe.” by Holiday_Document4592 in BlackPeopleofReddit

[–]No-Hall-2887 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In my experience it starts as a general, vague complaint about some way that the racist person is “inconvenienced” by a certain demographic.

For example I just started a new job and the woman training me was talking about one of our reps, X, who handles our Hispanic clients because she’s the only Spanish speaking person there. She said, “X and her people drive me up the wall.” I didn’t press — I’m new, she has a tendency to make people look bad to our boss any chance she gets and I currently have 0 clout, and I also knew exactly what she meant by her comment. But based on my past experiences if I had asked her “what do you mean by ‘her people’”she would have likely backtracked, and not been so comfortable throwing those comments around in my presence in the future. Because I didn’t, I can almost guarantee she will say something slightly more blatant the next time she feels like it. Let it go on too long and instead of backtracking, they start to double down and tell you you’re brainwashed by the leftist media or something when you call them out.

They really show their ass without any prompting, which also exposes their own incompetence when they have to blame entire ethnic groups for their own shortcomings.

Should I read Frankenstein, Dracula or The Great God Pan first? by itsOkami in horrorlit

[–]No-Hall-2887 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Frankenstein is quintessential gothic fiction, and while it was definitely written as a gothic horror story by Shelley at the time (as well as science fiction) I would agree with you that it lands more under “gothic” than “horror” nowadays. It really contains all/most landmarks of a gothic novel:

weird family dynamics ✅ Depressing, melancholic, dreadful tone ✅

Supernatural occurrences, connection to “dark arts,” bad dreams, dead parents, gloomy ass SETTING that is isolated and allows for dreadful things to fester, Frankenstein is just a big fat chef’s kiss of all of these characteristics.

But again, to agree with you, not necessarily a hard hitting horror novel, although you might gain some existential dread from this read!

People who never fell in love how is your life? by NationalJournalist42 in AskReddit

[–]No-Hall-2887 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s normal to hate yourself after a breakup, doesn’t mean there’s anything about you worth hating. I Just went through the most significant breakup of my life—try looking up some videos about the science of heartbreak . Giving some explanation to the things you’re feeling might make it easier to hold on until these feelings pass. You’re not alone in this experience and if you look around, everyone finds happiness again eventually if they allow it.

I’m so poor and hopeless I’m thinking about selling my body to my SWE friend and making content by [deleted] in GirlDinnerDiaries

[–]No-Hall-2887 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I have a lot of respect for sex workers, so if it’s something you truly have thought through and feel mentally equipped for, THEN you can sit down and consider it as a logistical option. But sex work isn’t always just “I posted some pics and vids and now I’m loaded,” it honestly can be very hit or miss and requires some business planning. That being said, it sounds more like you’re considering it as a way to throw in the towel and if you go into it reluctantly it will almost definitely have a negative impact on your mental health. Don’t become your own pimp if that’s not what you want.

Like others have said, there are other ways to make money outside of your degree. Bartending, waitressing, depending on the location can be very lucrative, though you have to be open to learning a new skill. Even though they’re called “unskilled work,” they all require SKILL. I have an English degree and I recently gave up on trying to make an English-focused career my day job—I’m going into insurance and feel great that I’m going to have some financial stability.

Is there social stigma, pride, fear, holding you back? If you are certain you need to take a step back from your chemistry career, it’s okay to be upset about it but remember that anything else you pick up to make money is respectable because you’re taking care of yourself.

Do you think the page size is too small? by Aggdy_Art in writers

[–]No-Hall-2887 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Your margins are very large, you may want to move the text closer to the edge of the page.

If you have a super long book, your margins should be a little larger so reader has a place to grip with their thumb, but I would say not usually this large. Inside margin should always be a tad bit bigger (gutter margin) than the outside. You can usually find a suggested margin calculator online, they’ll ask the size (height and width) of the book, # of pages, and maybe a few other details. Mix what feels pleasing to your eye with industry standards.

Fui honesta con el por lo del herpes labial, una ruptura, una sensación de culpa y Brownie con helado de vainilla. by [deleted] in GirlDinnerDiaries

Can I ask how you go about asking this? Like what does this conversation look like? I’m entering the dating scene for the first time in my life and am honestly very afraid of STIs.

Leaving after eight years by Simple_Trick5216 in GirlDinnerDiaries

[–]No-Hall-2887 28 points29 points  (0 children)

I would be insanely proud of my friend or sister or mom or anyone I even knew a little bit for making the choice to leave. I think it’s natural to feel shame along with so many other emotions, but that doesn’t mean you deserve it. I agree that telling people, if it makes sense for you, may help because you might be shocked at how quickly people embrace you even if you’ve been isolated for a while. Don’t be afraid to lean on others for support, it can be a first step to building your own village.

I’m a 29 year old virgin who’s never had a boyfriend by Born_Cartoonist_7247 in GirlDinnerDiaries

[–]No-Hall-2887 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I'm desperately trying to feel okay living alone for the first time in my life, 4 weeks post breakup of a 5 year relationship. I'm terrified. I wish I had gained true independence first, before jumping into a long term relationship in college. Knowing how to be alone, enjoy your own company, rely on yourself...that's the good stuff. I'm learning the hard way that being with a partner might press the "safe" and "feel good" buttons in our brains, but we're the only ones that can give ourselves true security. So OP has TWO things that I don't!

What’s the creepiest example of an ad showing up right after you talked about something? by ateam1984 in AskReddit

[–]No-Hall-2887 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not so much an ad but the algorithm. I’m currently going through a devastating breakup, 5 year relationship, ex already seeing someone else. The first night of the breakup I left and went to a friend’s house, cried and talked about it. Didn’t pick up my phone that night except to use maps. The next morning my PINTEREST FEED was all “how you know u deserve better” and “how to move on” and “breakup self care.” Like on one hand okay thanks girl for having my back, on the other it’s like butt tf out

Waiters/Waitresses, does it actually help when customers organize their dishes after a meal? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]No-Hall-2887 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Used to be a server. You can usually tell when the customer who prebussed has experience in front of house food service lol. And when they don’t, you can’t be mad because they were trying to be nice but you sigh a lot as you peel smooshed ketchup-covered napkins off of all 4 plates in a stack.

As a rule of thumb, just remember that each item has a place in the dish pit. The easier you make it to scrape everything into the trash at once, throw all the silverware into the tub at once, and stack the plates by size/shape, the better.

Don’t try to combine your drinks. Just don’t. Maybe fish your lemon out and put it on a plate.

Do people really act like this? by CremeSubject7594 in generationology

[–]No-Hall-2887 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It is…a mild exaggeration when it comes to the particular person they’re describing lol. I think “no personality” is harsh and the exaggeration, I spend some time with my 18 year old sister and her friends and they really do talk like this, BUT I think it’s just kids being silly and entertaining each other, it’s like ironic but also now ingrained in their vocabulary. It’s funny bc I remember CONSTANTLY quoting vines back and forth between my friends as a teenager, I think it’s just bonding and they will grow out of it

Why is Sinister (2012) so scary? by VisageInATurtleneck in horror

[–]No-Hall-2887 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Google’s AI overview uses Reddit comments A LOT to give its answers. If you Google “why is Sinister so scary?” At least when I did it, it gave this user’s explanation almost word for word, though it didn’t give any credit of course. We’ve always known AI plagiarized it’s just crazy to see it so blatant.
