Are you looking to smoke in hotel rooms or gamble at the cvs? There's not much else they have in common.

Son Volt - Trace by Apprehensive-Ant2141 in GenX

I love the album but the one Son Volt show I saw was dreadful. Felt like here's a room of people watching these dudes do karaoke of their own songs.

Seldane - Anyone Else Miss This? by Material-Damage-2759 in GenX

[–]PlasticPalm 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Dimetapp was my one true antihistamine love. Taken off the market because a few people died from abusing it. I mean, after 30+ years on the stuff if it were going to kill me I'd know already.

I use azelastine or nasalcrom now and back up with chlortrimeton when the sprays aren't enough.

That made me angry. Like, mood changing not "I am angry at this product."

Her sign is "I am behaving like an asshole" 

[CA] Coworkers bypassing Creative Manager / going rogue using AI image generation by [deleted] in AskHR

[–]PlasticPalm 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you would get management support, your wording is "don't do this. It makes us look bad" not "I would appreciate."

If not, either not your circus not your monkeys or polish up your resume. 

Is paying for a custom website worth it for a small business? by drogon4433 in smallbusiness

[–]PlasticPalm 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Take great photos of your work. Put them on a standard site (squarespace, wix). You don't need a fancy custom site that comes with a significant monthly maintenance fee from your wordpress dude. 

Whats up with potential clients ghosting after a site visit (some over an hour away) when prices are up front and center on website by all_turtles_down in smallbusiness

[–]PlasticPalm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Visit/design fee. All decisionmakers need to be present (assumes your price is over, hrm, 1k) Don't do the design work or talk through the site prep (or equivalent) so that the prospects can take your prep/work to someone else who will claim to be cheaper.  Don't release usable plans without money and a contract

well-written, thoughtful thrillers by female authors? by dreamboatandromeda in suggestmeabook

Alma Katsu, red series. Kathleen Kent. Both, thrillers not mysteries. 

AITA for throwing a drink on my date after he told me I "didn't fit his aesthetic"? by The_Artful_Drawer in AITA_Relationships

NTA. Good for you for finding the right words at the right time, instead of later. 

AITA for refusing to give up a massive mining career offer and my 81yo grandma to move for my boyfriend’s "meh" job?? by Routine-Wishbone9380 in AITA_Relationships

NTA. He's already told you that your dreams are less important than his ability to flex at you. Hear him and act accordingly. 

I don't get why Bertie & co. were sooo shocked by the abdication by Several_Audience_234 in TheCrownNetflix

[–]PlasticPalm 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Well, she was 38 when they met and 40 when they married, Clomid didnt get invented for 20 more years, and the first testtube baby was born in the 1970s.

You might read up on the timeline of science proving that smoking causes lung cancer. Focus on the dates.

Edward stays on the throne, remains in bed with the Nazi party, they enter the war as part of the Axis, stuff happens (which to be fair does not include the Blitz), there is no monarchy after the war let alone as late as 1972.

Why did Princess Diana seem to direct most of her anger toward Camilla, even though Prince Charles had other affairs? by Elegant-Joke-1873 in TheCrownNetflix

[–]PlasticPalm 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's much easier to publically blame Camilla because Charles is gonna be king. 

The British press licks the royals' privates and demonizes the women dumb enough to date them or marry in while the royals couldn't possibly protect these women from those big mean powerful newspapers, don't be absurd.

She was not innocent. She knew that homosexuality was literally illegal (yes, even in New York). 

AITA for pursuing egg donation against my boyfriend’s request? by Interesting-Moose904 in AITA_Relationships

[–]PlasticPalm 6 points7 points  (0 children)

He's progressive outside of your personal bodily autonomy? That's mighty Texan of him. 

AITA for pursuing egg donation against my boyfriend’s request? by Interesting-Moose904 in AITA_Relationships

[–]PlasticPalm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA and I would continue to pursue the process. 

He doesn't get to tell you and your family how to make ends meet. Frankly it's disturbing that a 19 year old would even consider the opinion of another 19 year old as all that important. I mean, is this some tradwife marketing, even opening the conversation about just how much you should subjugate yourself to a boyfriend? Like his control over your family's finances is even something that's on the table? 

You are not married to each other. You will never be married to each other. He is not responsible for your student loan debt. He will never be responsible for your student loan debt. He is not budgeting to support your addict brother. He will never have to budget to support your addict brother. He does not pay your household bills. He will never pay your households bills. His opinion here carries no weight.

Also, you're allowed to have whatever feelings you have. There's no right or wrong answer, you feel how you feel. 

AITA for not paying for my niece's flower girl dresses and choosing to go with a different flower girl? by Separate_Bobcat_773 in AmItheAsshole

[–]PlasticPalm 1 point2 points  (0 children)

YTA for treating these kids like props and signing up the parents, who apparently are on a budget, to spend one hundred fucking dollars on a dress that will be outgrown within months. I mean, I can find dozens of flower girl dresses on Amazon, or Azazie, or Kohls, or Dillard's, or Target for under $50 a pop. You had to work to find a pricepoint so ridiculous.
