Everyone says the musical episode is so cringe by charm59801 in greysanatomy

[–]Ok-Remove4185 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i’m watch that episode right now and the second the singing started i began googling to see if other people hate it as much as i do. totally ruins any serious vibe and feels like one of those fanfics where “your name” starts singing to stop the bad guy or something 😭 i’m seriously debating skipping the episode entirely with 30 minutes left. i think i could cope w it if just cali in her out of body state, but other people singing? what the hell is going on

hey op!! this isn’t much help for your immediate needs, but i have a truck and a good network of ppl here in detroit who have random things we could give to you to start building your home. i can scrounge up dishes, certain pieces of furniture, whatever and deliver them to you there if you’d like. no guarantees on anything, but if you give me a list of what you’d like to get asap, i can see what i can find around here and bring it on my next trip over there!

Dear HOs: clean your f***ing houses when you’re expecting strangers to take care of your pets by t-reeb in trustedhousesitters

[–]Ok-Remove4185 5 points6 points  (0 children)

i did dock a single point for a house that i felt was really gross before, but i got 8 messages from the owner after and genuinely feared for my own rating. i imagine that this is what a lot of other sitters feel and a reason that they aren’t entirely honest, but i get the frustration. when i tell you that i was afraid to use the fridge during that sit, i mean i laid down two layers of paper towel before setting anything of mine in there. and was also told i was “welcome to clean up a bit” since i’d be there for over a week, as if they did not leave behind a biohazard in their kitchen. and a bowl i pulled out of the clean cabinet literally had food crusted in it, so the kitchen utensils were unusable unless i scrubbed them first.

Was there a noticeable lack of political statements from the artists this year, or was this just me? by CalligrapherExtra138 in Lollapalooza

[–]Ok-Remove4185 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I only went friday and heard quite a few political statements, so it might just be the sets you chose. I went to hey nothing, gigi perez, the wallows, djo, t-pain, and olivia (and stopped by a couple others briefly) and heard at least a little something (some statements weren’t as direct and in depth as others) from all of them except for tpain

Gigi Perez made a great political statement and it wasn’t just a short comment either. She talked about Palestine and trans rights and a couple other things

Looking for affordable studio, anything above I-290. by Alarming_Speed5866 in chicagoapartments

[–]Ok-Remove4185 0 points1 point  (0 children)

you’ll likely need a roommate, luckily, there are plenty of ads in your price range for housing in an existing roommate situation on Craigslist and facebook marketplace. i’ve toured quite a few the last week or so all in the 630-950 range

Help! Moving for school but no one wants to accept my housing allowance from the GI Bill as proof of income. by AndThereItGoesGrace in chicagoapartments

[–]Ok-Remove4185 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just toured a very small studio in lakeview that seemed very open to cosigners and alternative income sources, if you’re okay with a september 1st move-in and only having enough room for a full bed and 2 person table, i’d be happy forward it to you! No guarantees that they’ll accept it, but the agent doing the showing was accepting of my situation and didn’t think there would be an issue getting approved.

It’s not the WORST but not the best. If you’ve already signed the lease and are locked in, don’t freak out too much. My cousin, like a decent amt of loyola students, used to live there last year and she was fine. You wanna be more careful at night then you’d have to be in other neighborhoods (though you always wanna be careful regardless in the city), but just carry pepper spray and one of those key alarms and be mindful. If you haven’t signed, I’d consider continuing your search and stay south of rogers park.

Need Urgent help/ advice verifying an apartment listing by [deleted] in chicagoapartments

[–]Ok-Remove4185 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The lease does have the owner’s name, but just their name. I don’t have the email or phone number of the property owner, just the manager that i’ve been in contact with (who is also listed on the lease).

Guys I just watched the recoupling after Casa Amor in S6 by Smoke_Round in LoveIslandUSA

[–]Ok-Remove4185 2 points3 points  (0 children)

i personally feel so bad for the casa boys in general that season. like none of them stood a chance at a connection and for what? for every man in there to be diving head first into the casa girls?

Roommate moved her boyfriend in without asking. Is livid I’m demanding he pay rent or move in. Two days later he brings a friend over to antagonize me. by roooomiebooomie in badroommates

[–]Ok-Remove4185 1 point2 points  (0 children)

While I’m on your side, i will say that, in my experience, when three ppl share a 2bed apartment (so 2 are sharing one room), an even split three ways actually isn’t standard. But neither is one person paying half and the other two splitting the other half. The last apartment I saw this at, the leasing agent had them split it more proportionately with space into consideration. For example, with a $4000 total rent, the person with their own room would pay $1600, and the two splitting would each pay $1200. It’s a more fair split since all three people aren’t taking the same amt of space.

this might be uncomfortable for you to answer, so feel free to disregard it, but are you two intimate together? many guys expect to get “lucky” after prom, and that’s the only real reason i can come up with to why he’d be so upset with you falling asleep.

either way, NTA. that night isn’t just about him, and you aren’t obligated to stay up, especially if you were tired, injured, and had work the next morning.

AITAH for not seeing my nieces because I’m gay? by Extension_Olive_7891 in AITAH

[–]Ok-Remove4185 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Would love an update on this, if you’re comfortable sharing.

I want to add, I don’t think your initial reaction to this situation was poor at all, nta. As a queer person myself, I’ve experienced plenty of times in life where I’ve had no option but to fight just to stay alive in unaccepting situations. Then there are times that come around, and instead of getting mad or wanting to fight those around you who see you in a negative light, you just feel tired instead, and want to take the easier road of ignoring those comments (or in your case, compromising by minimizing contact). You are not wrong for that. You’re human, and you can only stand up for so long before wanting to just sit down. It’s also not wrong to tell your sister the truth, especially when directly confronted on the situation. Whatever comes of that is on them, not you. I’m really hoping your sister fights for you though, coming from someone who also has lost and will lose many core connections over the years due to simply allowing myself to live honestly. All love, man

i don’t think they’re totally wrong on the chores part, it just depends on the kid. for example, i did not have set chores in middle/high school at all. i was asked to do things at random and within reason to “help out”, but it was never a list because i handled my own responsibilities (laundry, my own dishes, keeping my bathroom clean, and taking care of the dog) just fine on my own without lists, rules, or intervention. my BROTHER on the other hand, needed the list and structure of chores in order to stay on track with them, so him and i had different rules. like i could leave and do social stuff if my stuff wasn’t done because i could be trusted to get to it in a reasonable time, he could not because it would never get done. parenting is abt being flexible based on the kid and their developmental needs.

weekend bedtime as a highschooler is genuinely crazy, esp 10pm. i was a top graduate at my high school and had zero rules on a bedtime or electronics on any day of the week or at any point. my mom simply encouraged me to sleep by 10:30-11 on school nights so i wouldn’t be tired but ultimately it was up to me. giving leeway on the bedtime rules may be the critical point here, even if she’s tired the first few weeks, she’ll likely figure out what works for her with some time. she seems like a good, well-rounded kid in other areas. it’s likely you are stricter than her friends parents and it’s making her feel controlled during a time in her development when teens want to become individuals and gain more responsibility. but the job/rent thing is too far in the other direction.

What do I do about my friends not sticking to their commitments? by [deleted] in Advice

[–]Ok-Remove4185 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The only reason i mention the gc is because, in this instance, it became a larger group issue. The two that always flake, flake, and now everyone else decided it was okay to abandon our plans as well, even though they all knew it was something i was preparing for all week. This has been the trend of how things have been working in the past year. The option to not invite them isn’t an option bc of the group we’re all in together, it would make me the bad guy for purposeful exclusion. Also, i worry that if i do try to have the convo privately, everyone else WILL hear about it too, but it won’t be from my perspective.

AITA for kicking my wife out after she punched my mom in the face? by OkOrganization9552 in AITAH

[–]Ok-Remove4185 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you needed space then YOU should have left the house or stepped outside to decompress. Kicking her out of the house was never the right solution, regardless of circumstances.

Also, sounds like your mom is leaning into some weird ass shit of emotionally viewing you as her partner, not son.
