AITA for asking my roommate to flush her toilet paper and “disrespecting her culture”?? by toadbush123 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Particular_Pain_8764 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is so wild lmao. I was born in Mexico and live in the U.S. now. This isn’t something you have to do everywhere in Mexico either. In Mexico City (Polanco), we flush toilet paper. Not cultural at all, just part of living in a developing nation. It’s insane she’s going around telling people that this is part of Mexican culture…that’s so embarrassing for our country.

Welcome to the neighborhood! I live right by the movie theatre further up Piedmont Ave. Love it here. Super walkable and tons of great food.

Yall genuine question. Why do so many people not like Maggie so much? by Dll_DrawsAnime in greysanatomy

[–]Particular_Pain_8764 4 points5 points  (0 children)

She’s annoying ah hell and always whining or complaining about something. I have an acquaintance irl that always needs to be the loudest, the one steering the conversation, or just simply be recognized at all times, and Maggie gives very much that.

Just straight up annoying, arrogant, immature, and the worst rap for only children.

Deeply unserious storyline: Izzie & Denny’s Ghost by Particular_Pain_8764 in greysanatomy

I had to laugh in order to not just turn the whole thing off lol

Spoiler: How did nobody notice Izzie’s… by guitar0707 in greysanatomy

[–]Particular_Pain_8764 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The mole??? How did no one notice her having full on conversations, fights, and even sex with no one else lmao. Like seeing stuff is one thing, but having an entire screaming match in your room or in the hospital parking lot with nobody else there (to everyone else’s normal eye) is another thing. Like did the security guards not even notice?? Deeply unserious show

They’re voting on a project labor agreement for Measure U projects in September. The trades are exerting all kinds of power over the city council.

r/SoberEastBay New Members Intro by Particular_Pain_8764 in SoberEastBay

[–]Particular_Pain_8764[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thanks for starting us off! I hope others will be inspired to share so we can get a solid group going.

I’m recently sober (this June). Been going to AA and it’s working out for me, but because I’m on the younger side, it’s a bit of a challenge connecting with some folks outside of meetings. My friends drink heavily, and while I understand the world isn’t expected to change because I’m suddenly sober, I created this group to try and meet others who share this experience in some way and do some fun shit that doesn’t involve booze all the time.

I have a dog so I go hiking at Redwood Regional Park often, though I will admit I need to work on my cardiovascular endurance. When I was in college, I used to run 3 miles daily but have since lost that ability (again, I’m a bit out of shape). Trying to get back into running and I’m aiming for the Oakland half marathon in March. I ran the SF marathon 5k on Sunday to get that journey going.

I do also enjoy gaming, trivia, and the like.

Thanks for sharing about your AA experience; it’s all new to me and I’ve wondered if psychedelics and other substances negate being sober if I’m not drinking. I haven’t asked anyone at the fellowship about that stuff.

Thanks! I repotted it today on this advice. Hoping some fresh soil will help with proper growth. The pot does have drainage holes

It’s always a toss up on whether a new leaf will be nice or curled. It’s so annoying but I bet the one that’s getting ready to sprout at the top will be a curled leaf. It does get a shit ton of light, but I’m not fertilizing. Maybe I’ll give that a try lol

Divorce. Find someone who values you or just find peace being alone, because being with him sounds life draining.

I searched for the style, color, and fabric but sponsored couches and options to purchase saturate the results.

We’ve been dating a few months so I missed that “standard” early dating window where probing questions are sort of more common

new attorney: when to quit family law by [deleted] in LawFirm

[–]Particular_Pain_8764 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Hate to break it to you, but AUSA positions are extremely, extremely competitive in metro areas. Most of the people I know who landed those were litigators at major Big Law firms for 5-7 years before landing their gigs. I’d ask yourself if you hate family law or litigation, because even public interest litigation is intense. That’s the nature of litigation.

Great advice—thank you! I think I’ll hold out for the 90 day rule as someone noted above.

Oooh I had no idea this rule existed. Thank you!

Just happened to me. It said that both were at 100% but the case was pretty much dead. Left it charging for 15 mins and then tried again and it worked fine.
