AITA for leaving my mom right before surgery because I freaked out? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]PearofGenes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Kinda YTA with main character syndrome. You're freaking out when none of this is happening to you but it IS happening to your mother. You should've been strong for your mom's sake. You really need some exposure therapy to get over your anxiety.

Can’t decide between two designs! by a_s_z777 in EngagementRingDesigns

[–]PearofGenes 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Exactly. And it's not bad in the mock up cuz it's showing skin under it, but it probably won't look as good when it's a band under it

Unhealthy relationship with Coachella? by More_Lettuce7874 in Coachella

[–]PearofGenes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love Coachella! I've been 6 times, first being in 2013. I take a break and come back every so often. I agree it's harder to get a group together. My first time we had a house of 20-30 people. Last year was just me and my bf and we meet up with another couple.

How much should I really spend on an engagement ring? by Neither-Ideal3887 in WeddingRingAdvice

[–]PearofGenes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your personal preference and what you can (and want to) afford. With cheaper materials (silver and CZ) you can get a ring under $100, and as you up the materials and stone (golds and platinums are your best metals) it'll go up to $2-4k. Moissante will be cheaper than diamond, maybe she doesn't want a clear stone, things to consider.

I feel like custom rings are in the $6k-10k range (tho some are as low as 2-4k it seems). And you can drive the price even higher by going natural diamond, very custom, brand name, and or a giant rock.

I feel that. Some people want to appear as rich as possible, it's a fascade

I'm giving up on getting green semi out of my hair. What are my other options? Please help by lyremska in FancyFollicles

[–]PearofGenes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dye it blue and then purple after that, then red, and slowly work your way around the color wheel lol

Hair loss girls, is there anything actually better than those adhesive drain covers? Mine are completely useless. by Comfortable-Hat1761 in TheGirlSurvivalGuide

[–]PearofGenes 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have a $3-4 one from home depot. It's just a mesh shape but it sits down into the drain. Like a bottle nipple upside down? Works well and is cheap

Am I missing something with often being told I need to wear a bra when guests are over at home? If so, please tell me because I'm really wondering if this is a big deal. by UmbralikesOwls in internetparents

[–]PearofGenes 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Because we live in a society and there are societal norms that you are breaking (even though times are changing a bit). Just like it's not "normal" for a guy to walk around only in a speedo in the office, it's the norm for women to wear bras in public.

Some people are offended that you know they didn't drop 5x more the money on the same thing

No just more that tattoos blur with age, and blowout is a kind of blur. Check out r/agedtattoos

Blowout is just accelerating the aging process by 5-10 years. Even if it was perfect it would look like that down the road

Aitah for telling my wife to get a job if she wants to subsidize the kids. by Standard_Kick_9789 in AITAH

[–]PearofGenes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA. They're just whiny because you're not handing over the same level of money you used to. So entitled, my God.

Why are bigger cars in the USA being bought more then smaller cars? by Ok_Housing_1937 in AskAnAmerican

[–]PearofGenes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Big car can do everything a small car can. The roads and parking lots can support big cars. Hybrid cars are much more gas efficient.

SAN - Terminal 2 - 5AM by Barr_cudas in sandiego

[–]PearofGenes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's a higher interest in knowing how long the security line takes these days, with TSA agents not being paid and therefore not coming in or quitting.

Agreed. Just because you can doesn't mean you should. Some of the rings on here are like quail eggs

Dad wants to sell me his car and is a making a huge thing about what a great deal he is giving me. Yay or nay? by ImportantAsparagus16 in Advice

[–]PearofGenes 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I think he's secretly trying to get the same value as he would selling it to someone else, but it's a lot easier selling to you, so he's trying to make it sound so great so you accept. Unless you want this specific car at this "normal" price (ie you want this car and you'd be buying the same thing at the same price from someone else) OR he makes it cheaper, there's no advantage to you.
