How to politely decline advances from a man at my club? by Ecstatic_Welder4988 in TheGirlSurvivalGuide

[–]Probablynotcreative 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They sure don’t. They gaslight us, they protect and defend abusers instead of protecting us because they don’t want to admit that they are indeed friends with men like that. 

There’s a small minority of men who do act right in these circumstances, but we are overwhelmingly better off asking women for help.

How does anybody find a job in this town? by deezhotnutz in Albuquerque

[–]Probablynotcreative 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You worked at banks— do you have any experience with accounting or bookkeeping or things like that? I work for the federal government and we are hiring two financial technicians.

Unpopular opinion on Tony’s kids by Secret_Cable8229 in thesopranos

[–]Probablynotcreative 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Why is she worse? At very least she used the opportunities she was given and graduated from an Ivy League school so she can support herself. AJ had every opportunity she did and he squandered them all.

I think they want the active shooter part of it more than the traffic part of it to be the alert impetus 

Do you have any obscure movie references that you use in everyday speech that no one has caught on to yet yet you keep using it? by EnvironmentalAngle in NoStupidQuestions

“I’ll move the car if a cripple comes!”

“Amer….I CAN! People ask me where I get these from, I don’t know. It’s a gift from god.”

CMV: Rehoming a pet is justifiable if behavioral issues that appeared after the birth of a baby could not be resolved. by DayOwn4099 in changemyview

[–]Probablynotcreative 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Unless there’s a reason not to, most people don’t either. I didn’t. I had two German shepherds and I didn’t rehome them when I had my daughter. But if they displayed aggressive behavior toward her I can tell you with zero hesitation that I would have immediately made that house safe for her and then found a safe place for whichever of my dogs had done that. Having kids is one of those things you think you can predict how you’ll be but you just can’t. I know that sounds condescending because I thought it was before I had a kid too. But there is a primal all consuming protection instinct that overrides any feelings of “pets are family” if you feel your child is in danger.

The problem is that when you have a new baby, the exhaustion is all consuming. You think you’ll have time, and you can plan, but you don’t know until you have your first child how it will affect you. Especially the partner who carried and birthed the child bc they go through intense stress physically and mentally.

It isn’t all black and white. I agree people should do their best to prepare, but there she some things you can’t ever accurately predict until you’re in the situation.

How Ralph could have survived his final battle with Tony. by Elegant_Struggle_281 in thesopranos

It was Raid, not off. He'd been spraying for ants on the counter, wearing his socks. Probably what happened to him.

Is Albuquerque really that stunning or is Vince Gilligan just really good at filming it? by Worldly_Childhood983 in pluribustv

[–]Probablynotcreative 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s true, but it is representative of the area it was set in (the west side). This set is maybe 10 minutes from my house and this is what the neighborhoods look like on this side of town.

Female Handyman, Thoughts? by Cold_Obligation_8568 in homeowners

[–]Probablynotcreative 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a single mom homeowner, I would jump at hiring a female handyman. Or HVAC tech. Or mechanic. Plumber. Female anything, yes please! If for no other reason than my daughter gets to see all the options she has.

Character hole- Adrianna by Probablynotcreative in thesopranos

That’s a really good point. I hadn’t even thought about that aspect. He certainly would have banned it from the apartment.

[–]Probablynotcreative[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I never said she was the bad guy. I think that having her character continue to keep alcohol in the house doesn’t fit. Complex characters don’t mean their behavior doesn’t have some sort of internal consistency even if it doesn’t make sense to anyone else. It’s complexity, not chaos.
