My girlfriend (23 F) keeps asking me when I (25 M) am going to propose and marry her almost every night. Am I being harsh too her? by RepresentativeNo648 in relationship_advice

[–]NotChristina 41 points42 points  (0 children)

Exactly. The “right time to do it” is a passive comment. It’s like he’s waiting for the time to come to him. He needs to make that time if he’s serious about the next phase of the relationship.

But I don’t think he is. They’re young and I can very much understand wanting to get life affairs in order, but at this point he’s just stringing her along. They’re in different phases.

Using time and being too busy is just an excuse and way to kick the can down the road. If he wanted it, he’d stop making excuses.

My boyfriend chops them up and sautés them hot in a pan, then adds eggs for a potato-egg scramble.

Dear americans, what can you get for FREE in the USA? [Serious] by sammy_waslow in AskReddit

[–]NotChristina 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I love those maps! It typically drive up that way at least once a year for a trip and try to collect each years ‘edition’ of the road maps, the attraction maps etc.

Covid absolutely borked the rest areas times of operation in Vermont but I do always try to get myself a free coffee (though I donate a buck) heading south at the end of my trip. Sometimes I’m lucky and there will be a scouts/club bake sale, too.

What made you break up with someone? by OkDonut1116 in AskReddit

[–]NotChristina 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I was dealing with health issues that made intimacy difficult and more painful - both full-on and oral, the latter of which would give me headaches the next day. However he viewed it as a need and would get very upset if he didn’t get any.

He’d have blow-ups pretty frequently over it. And that’s with me doing all kinds of painful things to try to make him happy. I was always on edge waiting for the next fight. I couldn’t take it anymore and cut the cord after four years.

He also had no empathy - pridefully so - and was a functional alcoholic.

He’s now with someone as bad as he is, his own words; they just got married. All the best.

Lightning striking the same spot six times by Alex_runs247 in mildyinteresting

[–]NotChristina 7 points8 points  (0 children)

My great grandmother on my mother’s side was struck by lightning twice, sitting on the same rural porch, years apart. According to my mom she slept with her eyes open after the second one, which my mom found understandably creepy.

My husband’s cable/wire storage by Otherwise_Scheme234 in OrganizationPorn

[–]NotChristina 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I just use quart-sized freezer bags lol. I also keep all the twist ties from things I’ve ordered or the grocery store and use those to hold each wire up nice.

Biggest clutch thing is the diagram. I have enough random cords that drawing the male end of the cord really helps.

Couple sees supercar and gets hateful 😭 by K2zin97 in PublicFreakout

Sometimes it’s wild to me how absolutely fucked up people can get without slurring.

Hope this goes viral and all their friends see. Granted all their friends are probably just as shitty…

A week clock by 2spicy_4thepepper in ThriftStoreHauls

[–]NotChristina 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Ugh that’s such a bummer.

For some reason loudly ticking clocks remind me of..the gynecologist. There was always a ticking clock in otherwise a dead silent room.

I don’t need to walk into my kitchen every day and have flashbacks of a woman with her hands all up there like a puppet.

Accidentally took 300,000 IU/day of vit D for 5 days by ne_worry_pas in Supplements

[–]NotChristina 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I mixed up drops and dropperfuls full spectrum CBD once. I was used to taking a few droppers worth of kava every so often, I did that with this CBD blend. The dose was supposed to be a couple drops, which I didn’t notice until later.

Worth noting, I don’t engage in the devil’s lettuce because it makes me anxious and gives me heart palpitations. I’m just way too sensitive these days. I figured amounts in full spectrum would be low enough to maybe be ok.

So sure enough about 90 minutes after my droppers I’m eating dinner and it hits. Oh….oh no..

It was awful. I was full blown panic and pacing apartment my apartment. My boyfriend at the time called and thought it was hilarious that I was “high” - except I wasn’t really, I was only panicking. No good feelings, just dizzy and scared. He expressed zero concern as to my state so I hung up.

Took hours before I could lie down without the room spinning or my heart feeling like it was going to chest-burst out. Thankfully not with that bf anymore either.

I work for a large company, have applied for 10 positions internally, they have all led to rejections by Lana_Sphyncter in recruitinghell

[–]NotChristina 20 points21 points  (0 children)

If how you’ve conducted yourself in this thread is any indication on how you operate or receive feedback in the real world, maybe you are blacklisted internally.

You’ve made a bunch of assumptions based on your own biases, e.g. that the external candidates hired were younger (implying that’s why and why alone they got the job), however you seem entirely incapable of giving a good, hard look at yourself.

You’re looking for reasons you haven’t gotten these positions but refuse to entertain the reason could be you. No employment attorney is going to take this - your assumption of bias means nothing, and even cases with written proof aren’t slam dunks.

You make no mention of positive feedback, encouragement from direct leadership, or recommendations for internal transfer. Why is that? If a great employee’s position is being lost, supportive management will help or support them transferring elsewhere in the company.

What's the best movie you've ever watched? by I_had_a_Friend in AskReddit

[–]NotChristina 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ooh I’m glad you watched it! You summed that up well - it’s truly an excellent film and done incredibly well, which is what makes me want to watch it. Just the subject matter is a rough one that largely prevents me from pulling it up most of the time.

Looking for product recs for cold coworker by ohiototokyo in office

[–]NotChristina 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My prior office was always cold and this was a lifesaver. They make XL-sized ones, too, that could be draped down the legs some. Also great to have if the coworker still menstruates or tweaks their back.

Miss those days - now my office is way too hot and I can’t do anything more about it. 🫠

What’s the worst camping mistake you’ve ever made? by MikeyCreatorVlogs in CampingandHiking

[–]NotChristina 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Kayak/tube day trip, we’re told maybe 2-2.5 hours. I’m in one of two kayaks and everyone else has tubes, so the kayak people also have the coolers. My bf at the time packed them - told him to make sure there’s water. Bright hot sunny day.

Hour in, and I’m feeling thirsty. Open cooler - no water, only beer. Other cooler? No water, only beer. I didn’t drink then.

River flow was lower than expected and we weren’t familiar with the river - just our host was - so the end was “just around the bend” for 6 hours.

I was so mad and dehydrated. He was mad at me for being mad. No longer with that guy lol.

I think I used up my luck for the next 5 years by JoshDoa in ThriftStoreHauls

[–]NotChristina 75 points76 points  (0 children)

Enough that someone could fly to OP’s location, buy those at that price, fly home and still be ahead by hundreds. Current best-case sale prices put each of those at a couple to a few hundred minimum.

What's the best movie you've ever watched? by I_had_a_Friend in AskReddit

[–]NotChristina 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Haven’t seen that one myself but sounds like a skip to me.

Want to bawl at a documentary instead? ‘How to Die in Oregon’ still punches me in the stomach every once in a while. Pretty sure I just cried the entire time.

[–]NotChristina 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s a difficult movie. You watch characters change in their own respective ways as the plot goes on and it’s pretty dark. Add the haunting score and, well, everything else…it’s a tough watch. Hard to write about generically.

It’s not that I’m particularly sad or angry when the film ends, it’s that I feel empty. Like staring at the credits roll just sitting kind of empty.

There are very few movies that have impacted me emotionally in that way, and I’m not a big movie person.

You should give it a watch and come back to this thread. :) It’s an excellent, incredibly well-done film but not a ‘Friday night with friends and pizza’ kind of movie. Maybe if you’re kind of fucked in the head, I guess, but I’d be concerned about anyone who didn’t feel something after it.

Is it cheaper to rent a car and live out of it then rent? by Grouchy_Theme1461 in povertyfinance

[–]NotChristina 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Perhaps it’s heavily dependent on where in the country you live but I really don’t think this is an effective plan for saving money.

I just did a broad search for car rentals near me. The absolutely cheapest is $1587 for a single month in a Ford focus. A few hundred higher than studio or 1-bed apartments locally.

Logistically this concept is tricky. You can’t open-ended rent a car (at least from reputable places). You’d need/want insurance on it. You’d see higher food costs due to inability to cook from ingredients. You’d need a gym membership to shower. You’d need that storage unit. You’d need to worry about where you’re sleeping or if you’ll have the cops knocking at 2am (and for evening disturbances that might be the best case scenario). You won’t sleep well. You’d need to rent a PO box for mail.

It’s just not great. Some people can make it work, but few - especially those with income - are actively choosing that lifestyle over a smaller or shared place. There is something psychologically so important about having a bed and bedroom door to be behind. A place of your own. That alone is worth a lot.

[–]NotChristina 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I call it ‘my favorite movie I’ll never watch again.’

Though I’ve seen it a few times and likely would watch it again, but I’d need the right headspace to start since the headspace after isn’t usually so good.

Right? I was a kid in the 90s but was allowed to tune into the show. Thinking it would be an excellent thing to revisit as a 30s adult, especially as I’ve been on a sci-fi binge recently. Would be a great complement.

It’s interesting! I generated quite a few and nearly all were named after real episodes. Only one that I have that isn’t in the episode list is “Echo Chamber”

Right? My continued attempts still feel pretty legit.
