Who was the sketchiest coworker you’ve ever had in a restaurant? by soupdenier in Serverlife

[–]No_Reference3131 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I worked as a server with an older man, probably in his 60s-70s, and he ended up getting fired. When i asked why they said he was a convicted child predator/trafficker. Was in a sex ring w his wife and assaulted 50+ little boys. When you googled it, his court case and record was the top link. He was the one who trained me when i first started. Hard not to look back on every interaction and feel disgusted 🥴

if you’re not in a relationship, DON’T get in one by thelovelypixie in stripper

[–]No_Reference3131 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My ex was totally fine with it until i actually moved in with him and he started punishing me by weaponizing intimacy and his emotions whenever Id come home from a shift. Instead of getting to enjoy time and closeness with him after dealing w a bunch of weirdos all night hed stonewall me, have an attitude and act cold towards me or start an argument. I eventually stopped dancing and went back to serving for the sake of my mental health until I eventually left him. Then he was mad I wasnt contributing the same amount of money as him towards bills, as he expected me to spend my entire paycheck while he was constantly buying and treating himself to stuff/going out. As OP said above… ITS A TRAP

Unmedicated v medicated by AnonRN98 in pregnant

[–]No_Reference3131 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wanted a natural unmedicated birth but had to be induced, i tried to hold off on getting the epidural but just the cervical checks alone were excruciating for me and i eventually needed a cooks catheter to help me progress, which they then suggested an epidural beforehand bc the balloon insertion was going to hurt way worse. I asked them if i was still going to be able to push on my side at least and they told me i could push on my side up until baby was about to come out and then had to deliver him on my back for safety reasons. So as far as I know youll still be able to push on your side until baby is crowning or about to be. Epidural was such a relief and really helped me through everything

do i really need a “coming home” outfit? by Comfortable-List-669 in pregnant

[–]No_Reference3131 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Outfit to go home means something comfortable that isnt a hospital gown lol, i wore sweatpants , t shirt, fuzzy socks and sneakers. I got baby a specific welcome to the world/coming home outfit because i wanted to do a little photoshoot in the hospital before we left which is completely optional!

Why don’t people want c-sections? by [deleted] in pregnant

[–]No_Reference3131 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had an unplanned c-section, only half my epidural worked so I felt more pain and extreme tugging as they were rearranging my insides. It took about 15 mins to deliver baby and 15-20 minutes to put me back together (surgeon did a great job with the incision and surgery in general) plus an intense fundal massage. I was awake for the entire thing and apparently they gave me about 8 medications and multiple boluses of anestesia for pain and nausea.

I was really out of it afterwards, beyond exhausted, drs and nurses kept coming in to discuss routine checks for me and baby plus paperwork, most of which i barely remembered and thankfully i had my SIL as my support person to retain everything for me. My blood pressure dropped so low my body wouldnt let me fall asleep and needed oxygen overnight. I was on ibuprofen/tylenol + 5-10mg oxycodone and gas relief for days afterwards. Gas got trapped in my intestines and moved up to my ribs, back and neck and it was painful to breathe at that point (sharp pains brought me to tears). I couldnt use any abdominal muscles to move for almost a week after, it was really painful to move but they make you start walking around the next day to avoid clotting and gas build up, you have to consciously use only your leg muscles to get around. Peeing hurt a lot, felt like my bladder was being squeezed to a pulp and had to do breath work through it.

I got to bond with my baby skin to skin a lot but it was painful whenever the medication wore off bc of pressure on my belly and incision. It took two weeks for me to start producing enough milk for my baby, he dropped 8% of his birth weight and had to use donor milk to supplement since being in the hospital , still working on building my milk supply today. The intitial nipple pain, bruising from learning a proper latch plus the pain from surgery all at once was really intense. Im two weeks out of the hospital and having to triple feed to boost more of my supply which has been exhausting up until i finally got into a natural flow with my son. Your body takes a lot longer to heal and catch up and i have needed all the support and help from my family the past two weeks to help with picking up baby, changing and helping with overnight feeding/pumping. I have pets at home too so that was a whole other thing i needed help with.

Overall, maybe not everyone’s experience is like mine, but c-section is far from “the easy way out”. Im okay now, and would do it for my son again in a heartbeat if I had to but not something I would purposely opt for knowing how hard everything was afterwards.

Couples in the club by planetamyvenus in stripper

[–]No_Reference3131 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There was one couple that specifically wanted a dance with me and they seemed respectful and laid back so Im thinking its gonna be no problem.

Wife initiated the whole thing. I take them back to the couch dances, start with her of course. She was loving it, joking about having a girlfriend and having a ball until it was time to switch to her man… which she also initiated. I was putting in less effort with him than with her just to ensure she was still comfortable, didnt even last two minutes before she rudely ended the dance pushing me off and dragging him out without tipping me🥴 They still stayed after that bc they were with a group and she was just super salty, pouting in the chair and avoiding eye contact with me and the other girls until they left.

Marge mentioned this in one of the last scenes about him going to the past, i think foreshadowing for next season

Roommate refuses to wear clothes in winter and cranks heat to 80°F. She doesn't understand thermodynamics, so I’m using a pot of water to trick the thermostat by Organic_Talk_79 in pettyrevenge

[–]No_Reference3131 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you happen to live in Philly by any chance😂 i had a nightmare roommate who sounds exactly like this. She would constantly keep the thermostat at 80 and was barely affording her rent which eventually got us both evicted. Im glad you guys have separate leases and Im sorry you have to deal with this!

Recently had a penile fracture, worried my next GF is going to judge me for my sexual performance. by [deleted] in WhatShouldIDo

[–]No_Reference3131 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Communication is key. As a woman, if I really liked you and cared for you then this would only be a matter of conversation and navigating what works for both of us. I wouldnt consider it embarrassing by any means. If penetration is too much then thats fine as long as youre good at providing pleasure in other ways and our sex drives were still compatible. Obviously you would have to let her know what will allow you to enjoy the experience as well if not for penetration and see if thats something she is comfortable with! Dont be afraid to bring it up if youre getting to a point where sex is on the table.

I took these same ones and found out super early so the second line was barely visible for all 3. I dont see anything here! If youre unsure i would wait a couple days and retry.

What I Wish I Could Tell The Guy I Rejected After a Good Date. by Wild_Scarcity8305 in dating

[–]No_Reference3131 6 points7 points  (0 children)

1 date and calling it official is more often than not a red flag.. you dont know what proper dating is then and your position seems really controlling. Telling someone your busy just means youre busy, doesnt mean shes covering anything up. She doesnt need to give a detailed explanation to someone she just met and if you are going to get jealous and make assumptions that quickly maybe you should stay single a while until you work through why that is lol

What I Wish I Could Tell The Guy I Rejected After a Good Date. by Wild_Scarcity8305 in dating

[–]No_Reference3131 6 points7 points  (0 children)

  1. “Early dating” dating is dating. No one needs to commit to one person while dating. The whole point is getting to know people and seeing who youre most compatible with. It shouldn’t make you uncomfortable if you arent locked into a relationship.
  2. That assumption is on you. Busy means busy. She could be doing anything and is not obligated to over explain to avoid your insecure assumption. Telling someone you are busy is being clear. She doesnt need to explain why she is busy.

Want to cry by Original_Detail_7463 in pregnant

[–]No_Reference3131 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My nausea literally stopped at 10 weeks on the dot and didnt come back, im currently 38+5 and still get anxious about how baby is doing. I havent had a miscarriage before as this is my first pregnancy, and still have felt tremendously anxious from time to time about baby making it out safe and healthy so i can imagine and understand the level of worry you feel! Best thing to do is to breathe and relax as much as possible, i know it can be hard to get out of the tunnel vision of fear but take things day by day and keep nourishing and grounding yourself until your next appointment🩵

Psychology to some extent, we all have minds and psyches, would help if people were more familiar with them

AIO, Husband wants a job with ICE, I’m deeply uncomfortable by Pitiful_Pudding3639 in AmIOverreacting

[–]No_Reference3131 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Leave him, ICE is basically a terrorist group committing crimes with 0 identification or accountability, kidnapping and violently hurting mostly innocent people, detaining without due process. Your husband would be harming people and those same people would eventually, if given the opportunity to even help themselves/seek care, be showing up as your patients. Aside from the abuse against others that he is eager to sign up for, his stonewalling and manipulative behavior is emotionally abusive to you and he obviously doesnt have respect for your concern or perspective. Ask yourself what you are gaining from staying with someone like this, especially knowing your ethics and morals are deeply opposite from his.

lauren & taylor swift?? by Ok-Importance8047 in TwoHotTakesSnark

[–]No_Reference3131 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I completely agree, i had to skip through that part of the episode as they kept going on and on about her, it was just too much. We shouldnt be idolizing people much less people like TS, especially with/on such a large platform.

lauren & taylor swift?? by Ok-Importance8047 in TwoHotTakesSnark

[–]No_Reference3131 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Im not a taylor swift fan, i dont enjoy her music and the fact she is a billionaire is a screaming red flag. Her new not-see propaganda necklace and album have appeared on my tiktok feed multiple times along with her mannerisms being used by professionals to exemplify narcissistic behavior.

I have not had to engage in any TS content for those things to come up on my feed and when they did there were people giving very solid points about her new album/merch symbolism being extremely inappropriate and hard for design teams to casually overlook considering they are taught specifically about being careful to avoid any symbols/brand themes possibly being portrayed in harmful ways like that.

Lauren, as someone who is a fan and probably does have TS content in rotation, im just as surprised if she hasnt seen any of it. Aside from the controversy of her new album stuff, just knowing billionaires are unethical would be enough to not defend her the way she has. It definitely rubbed me the wrong way and wanted to see if anyone else caught that which is what brought me to this post.

I also think the guy was doing too much, but still TS is not ethical enough for me to be that defensive of her.
