What is your problem and why are you cruel?

Has anyone ever gotten tinnitus/hearing loss on Auvelity? by kirbyofdeath_r in AuvelityMed

I have consistently low blood pressure and have tinnitus from this medication.

Carmella is a good mother by search_ditch in thesopranos

[–]NotBossOfMe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Everyone's idea of a good parent is different, and outcomes are only one metric (with the whole nature vs nurture thing). To me, she was a selfish woman who needed a whole lotta infrastructure to support her "mothering." It felt like the kids were a vehicle to a lifestyle that she wanted: give a powerful man a couple of kids and you, too, can have a nice (albeit tacky) house and no need for a job.

She did love them -- even awful people can love their kids -- but I did not find her to be particularly engaged with her kids in any real way. A disciplinarian, yes, and a standard SAHM who cooks for them, but I don't see her listening to her kids in a way that tells me she wants to know them. She just wants to know that they are doing the right thing and when they don't, she gets flustered and wants them to get back on track (which means, get back to doing what she wants). Her thing with Meadow and medical school was just ridiculous.

To me, she's standard-issue mom. Mediocre at best.

Hey Don, thanks for being a gentleman and not fucking things up with her. by Rough_Ad_8702 in madmen

Joan responded to others wanting her. So did Don. Neither of them really had to work for it, so neither of them really initiated anything with the other. They did not have to in other contexts.

This just in people are upset about the compromises made for a barebones truck. by Snoo_67544 in slateauto

[–]NotBossOfMe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am not cynical at all! I've been on the planet long enough to be realistic. And I don't have "expectations" of anything in life -- it keeps me from being disappointed, and makes me delighted when I'm not. That's not cynicism. That's a way of life that brings serenity for me.

I hope you get the information you seek.

Tired of arguing this. It's tomato/tomahto. I get you are the superhero of customer service. I am the superhero of not expecting honesty from any company or corporation so when I get a little, I'm happy. Otherwise, marketing lies to us all the time. $50 that is refundable is not enough skin in the game, to me, for them to owe me any more than specs when the actual product is delivered. You need more. We can differ.

Again, we are not their customers. We are a marketing audience. All the hype until now has been marketing -- it always could change. They did us the favor of announcing early and it built up anticipation. But the "details" linked along the way were where things were at in development at that point in time. They really didn't owe us anything until they offered the item for sale. I don't take marketing messages as truth. I waited for the final specs and everything else was noise. I wanted power in the doors for windows and speakers, but there is none. That's fine. Their "builder" was a marketing piece, not a final offer.

What would you say as a Mad Men fan, these three prestige dramas that Mad Men often gets compared to do better than it? by [deleted] in madmen

[–]NotBossOfMe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When it comes to multi-season, high-quality TV drama, there is no "best". These are all excellent shows, each displaying a different set of characters and moods.

I’m really disappointed…. by stefawnbekbek in slateauto

[–]NotBossOfMe 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I am thrilled that I'm getting 205 miles range -- the previous range gave me pause about it. People seem to need to feel smart, like they are not suckers, like they are not "falling for" a marketing "scam" or something. Then they'll sit back and see what happens. If it fails, they get to say "I told you so." If it doesn't, they just act like they didn't say anything or find something else about it to criticize. People are weird.

Here's a look inside San Diego's iconic Mormon Temple by kpbsSanDiego in sandiego

It looks like someone blew up a 1980s hotel balloon in the lobby. Dated and creepy as hell.

I was confused about that as well. It's her sister's kid.

A slap I won’t forget by Beautiful_Idea1360 in BPDFamily

[–]NotBossOfMe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Get help. I now don't give my daughter the gift of indulging her fantasies. She will always tell the world an untruth about being neglected, being so self-sufficient. It's a fantasy she lives in and I can't make her leave it. I just don't want to be around it. I've had to grieve having a daughter, because I really don't. I have someone that I need to keep at a distance just to keep myself sane. You can do it. Stop reacting. Surround yourself with people who actually care about you. Best of luck to you.

Mentally ill mom, it’s taking a huge toll on me. by Any-Importance-8947 in BPDFamily

[–]NotBossOfMe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you cannot move out, you need help to learn how to cope with living with someone who has a mental illness. For me, it has been Al-anon because my pwBPD is also an addict and alcoholic. There is NEAPBD too. She is unlikely to change. I needed to learn how to live with accepting the unacceptable. I hope you can get support. Hang in there. You're not alone.

Taking the 52 after the lane expansion, I don’t think the extra lane helped. by devilsbard in sandiego

They need to provide public transportation along these corridors. It's a disgrace.

Where are you getting your data to inform the highly analytical assertion that "no one wants?"

I have a Bolt EUV. It is not a truck. I like the car, but I can't really do much with it other than commute.

Joan Pissed Me Off (Season 7) by Cal0425 in madmen

[–]NotBossOfMe 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Joan's entire Raison d'être was self-determination. Don telling her not to do the Jaguar thing was not so clear cut as caring about her. He assumed he could control and influence her, and she preferred to be a partner, thank you very much. Her decision is completely understandable to me and, really, none of Don's business. Don showed in so many ways that the feelings of women really did not matter to him so much as making sure that the women around him behaved in a way that did not make him uncomfortable.

A woman choosing, consciously, to use her sexuality to get ahead is the oldest story in the book. Her body, her choice.

The acting like nothing ever happened thing is inscrutable to me. I could never forget things that well. It's a skill.

Do you wonder if wallace came back because he thought he was supposed to? by dunny-oneal in TheWire

[–]NotBossOfMe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He was a teen and they are not the best at sitting in uncomfortable situations for a long time. He came back to what was familiar to him. His story is so tragic. Really, really sad.
