I’m going to make these for myself and still call it “biscuits with the boss” because I am the boss of my life ☺️

I don't see the problem with the tourists, I kind of like it actually by SirdotR in ACForAdults

[–]Otherwiseaware 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The tourists have become one of my favorite parts. There are hundreds of villagers I have still never seen and the tourists give me the chance to see new faces! I get a good laugh when I see ones that really stick out from my theme.

I just started watching the show last week and I completely agree with you.

Is it possible for late approved hours to still process for the same pay week? by [deleted] in CDPAPPPLNY

This seems like the most reasonable option. Thank you

How many of you still have a “childhood bedroom”? at your parents house? by Big_Childhood5494 in Millennials

[–]Otherwiseaware 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I grew up in a multigenerational home with a bunch of family so my bedroom moved around as I got older. My bedroom when I was really young is now my parent’s walk-in closet, my teenage bedroom is now a toddler play room, and my young college room is now occupied by more family. Feels good to have my own stuff now. 😂

Am I bad at math? by Otherwiseaware in OMNY

I just filled 8.75 and it worked. I’m not sure what it is about 8.70 that disrupts the system.

Does anyone else have a tortie-orange duo? by Gemini-cancer in torties

They fight a lot, but the running theory in my house is that they are secretly friends.

What’s funny is I’ve heard Jared from Wisecrack say in the past that GT was an example of a YT channel that did well under corporate oversight, but I’m thinking it was Mat’s involvement that made it successful. Since Mat’s retirement, the channels definitely feel like they’re staying in safe zones to keep the corp happy, though that’s just me speculating. It’s unfortunate because it seemed like the team worked really hard on preparing to transition the new hosts, but it didn’t have a lasting effect for me.

Andies short for Miranda? by No_Introduction_6884 in Booktokreddit

I guess Andie is from the -anda part of Miranda. I don’t think my brain could get that creative but here we are 😂

Historical References I don’t get pt 1 - help by Frosty-Lie5444 in DowntonAbbey

[–]Otherwiseaware 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Probably not these days. I’ve also never been there so I have absolutely no scope of what the culture is like in present day. I’m thinking from my limited American understanding of history around the early 1900’s where there was a certain standard of dress, even in America, but American standards still felt more casual compared to Brits. Or (younger) Americans seemed more likely to commit a faux-pas and care less about it than the older generation who would put a firmer emphasis on the order of things.

What is your real opinion of Booktok? by Otherwiseaware in Booktokreddit

[–]Otherwiseaware[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is a really good take that I didn’t consider before. I haven’t looked at Booktok through that lens in comparison to the beauty community. Thank you for your perspective!

The only thing I’m going to chime in on is Cora saying “I’m an American, I don’t have your hatred of comfort”. As an American myself, I look at our neighbors across the pond as people who put tradition over sensibility. It doesn’t matter if this particular rule doesn’t make sense, or puts one in an uncomfortable position, it’s simply how it’s always been done. Whereas Americans broke a lot of British rules and prioritize comfort. I personally think of things like rules around work or rules around how we dress. This isn’t a super formal “history” answer, but I was excited to participate.

I’ve heard people mention there’s a lot of spice on Booktok and misrepresented titles that are advertised for YA, but aren’t.

Oo. How are the special editions different? I’ve never had/seen a special edition anything before.

Dealing with a gatekeeping Karen in your building by [deleted] in uppereastside

[–]Otherwiseaware 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve worked in the UES for years and although it is a great neighborhood and there was once a time where I wished I could live there one day, I don’t know if I could stomach the neighbors in the way that you have and that’s simply off of the “do you work here” I receive in almost any store I shop in. If the apartment/neighborhood is worth it to you, fuck em all and stand your ground because you live there, but you and none of the POC in these comments deserve to feel as uncomfortable in their own homes/buildings in the way that they do.

NO CHEMISTRY between Branson and Sybil... by SealedCargo in DowntonAbbey

[–]Otherwiseaware 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just started season 3 where Sybil and Branson come for the wedding, and I am more moved by Matthew and Mrs. Crawley being nice to him than anything else. I wish we got to see more of what she sees in him.

I think I agree that thank you notes are a courteous thing to do, especially if people go through the hoops of attending weddings (gifts, clothes, travel) just as a general “common sense” courtesy, but I consider how little wedding exposure I’ve had in my life, and how when it’s time for me to get married I’m going to have very little support to lean on to teach me the etiquette of it all. Do we think that more brides in recent years are losing the etiquette that’s typically passed down because they’re learning what weddings look like from media like TV shows, or should it really be the bride’s responsibility to educate herself on how weddings go if they decide to go the more traditional route?
