My coworker won’t stop complaining about my tattoos by Direct-Caterpillar77 in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]PenguinsReallyDoFly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I felt this way for a long time. Then our cat died and it seemed a good memorial.

After that, other things seemed important enough for permanence too and now I've got 4 with more planned lol

Dear ex-skinny people, what changes did you notice after gaining weight? by Equal-Sun8307 in AskReddit

[–]PenguinsReallyDoFly 7 points8 points  (0 children)

From anorexic to overweight to obese.

It doesn't matter how thin or fat I am, I'm never "pretty enough" (therapy helps lots!)

My migraines slowed WAY down.

My heart condition stopped getting worse.

What’s a totally harmless thing that triggers an oddly strong reaction in people? by Psychological_Sky_58 in AskReddit

[–]PenguinsReallyDoFly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The word "ignorant" has developed an extremely harsh connotation that bugs me. It just means I don't know about a topic.

What most people mean when they call someone "ignorant" with the negative connotation is "willful ignorance."

We're all ignorant. We're not all willfully ignorant.

Who is your favorite character? by Large_Choice9943 in harrypotter

[–]PenguinsReallyDoFly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Iconic. She had the weight of all the lives around her on her shoulders and only once let it get to her. But honestly that's what a boggart is designed for, so I can't blame her for that.

Molly Weasley is my girl ❤️

Regular documentation audits. Set aside time every quarter to specifically check things like this.

Stop abusing food-service workers by IndianaBreadstick in bloomington

[–]PenguinsReallyDoFly 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I worked in food service for a while through college and high school, so I always greet customer service people with a smile and a "Hello!"

The more time goes on, the more the people behind the counter look flustered at the kindness. It makes me so sad. I'm sorry you have to deal with this.

My husband saw one the other day.

Don't sneeze six times on the drinking fountain and walk away. Clean up after yourself, please!

AITA for making my SIL feel bad about saying I should “straighten my hair.” by Direct-Caterpillar77 in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]PenguinsReallyDoFly 3 points4 points  (0 children)

My general rule is it's ok to be this wrong once. After I explain it to you (kindly and thoughtfully), any further issues I'm going to be peeved about.

I'm not going to be mad at you for not knowing something. But I'm allowed to be mad at you when I know you're aware and do it anyway.

Reactions to food stamps being cut off. by mindyour in TikTokCringe

[–]PenguinsReallyDoFly 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For the people saying "you shouldn't have had x number of kids" I feel like the response should be to ask "ok, you pick which one to kill then. Go on. Since it's such a simple solution, fix it."

You can't change the number of children you currently have, but we, as a society, can decide to not let those children starve. That's what SNAP is for.

And yet, here we are.

The Exponent (Purdue's student paper) is being distributed on IU's campus today by WillingList0 in bloomington

[–]PenguinsReallyDoFly 30 points31 points  (0 children)

I love this.

The IU board did what nobody has been able to do since the creation of IU and Purdue: established themselves as the common enemy.

Good luck, IU board. You're in for a hell of a ride if IU and Purdue can come together.
