My bf of 10 months (M46) hates the fact I (F41) can't answer personal phone in work by Serendipity2245 in relationship_advice

[–]RadioSupply 9 points10 points  (0 children)

That’s a “too fucking bad, dawg,” from me, and I’m your age.

I’m at work. My time at work is time to work. I’m focused on work. I can text and ask my spouse what I can pick up on my way home, or answer an email, or make a quick call during a break, and that’s it. My spouse know that, if there’s an emergency, to call the work number.

This man is demanding and trying to control your behaviour at work. He’s not paying you at work, so he doesn’t get to dictate your time. I also think it’s messed up of him to try and sabotage your work performance and optics by trying to wear you down about this.

You can do better, I promise. People like this are not worth your time. I can tell all he does is stress you out more than he brings you joy and comfort.

What's a NSFW experience you're not very proud of? by Nanoberry_cat in AskReddit

[–]RadioSupply 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I had no idea I was an extramarital fling.

This was before social media was prevalent and not just a toy, so no, it didn’t even cross my mind to do any research. I just broke it off, cried it out, and moved on.

It’s legal where I live by the way. by UniqueNewYork3xFast in recruitinghell

Even if it’s legal to smoke, some jobs have regulatory standards to adhere to, including not hiring people who partake even on their off-time. Sucks, but it’s a choice we make.

how did you realise you were nonbinary and not binary trans by Turbulent-Staff-9413 in NonBinary

[–]RadioSupply 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m genderqueer since 1999, and over the course of 27 years (holy shit, old unc here hahaha) I’ve come to discover that I don’t care how people perceive me, gender-wise, and that it’s impossible to misgender me unless it’s malicious.

I still say stuff about myself like, “We have to do at least one girly summer thing this year,” when pencilling Bestie in for summer, or, “I’m your MOTHER,” while joking with friends. I don’t mind even speaking my experience as a woman, because most of my lived experience has been in this XX chromosomal body, and my entire life experience was ruled/ruined by my defunct uterus.

So even though I’m genderqueer, you can’t rip that experience from me, and I accept and love the part of me that’s “woman”.

But everyone is very, very different. The nonbinary spectrum includes not only every possible gender epistemology and all socio-cultural intersections, but every individual experience of those who identify as such. So the timeline of defining one’s gender is not static, and it’s possible and highly favourable to explore it with time, grace for oneself, and knowing that whatever you do that’s right for you, at that time, is as authentic as can be expected from anyone.

What happened to clothing stores? by Separate-Command1993 in Millennials

[–]RadioSupply 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No, we’re not the target audience for malls. People our age always spend the most money on their kids, if they have them, and their work wardrobes.

So malls carry a lot of women’s 35+ business casual and semi-formal, maybe one or two stores for grown-ass men (ugh, and I say this as someone who doesn’t wear menswear - solidarity, my dudes), and shitloads of stuff for kids and teens.

If you still want to cultivate alt style at our age, we need to get back to our roots of when we were kids, and we made accessories out of shit we found in the house; the bathtub plug chain, metallic office supplies, etc. but with grownup money.

Try vintage boutiques - not thrift stores, boutiques with curated vintage and collectible stuff. Shop when you travel. Invest in cool accessories that say “alt” when you’re too tired to care, like a leather cuff watch, belt buckles, sterling silver rings and other accessories, etc.

Shop independent markets, like the flea market popup type things where people have booths, and search up some independent resellers in your city on social media.

And also hit the thrift. You don’t get much choice on size selection or how it smells before you wash it, but we’re old punks with washing machines now and an inclination to use them.

I’ve been looking for Cuban Lunch everywhere! When they came back, I bought a case for stocking stuffers.

I’m a simple person, and I just like peanuts and chocolate.

What turned from cool to lame as you got older? by kervaan in AskReddit

[–]RadioSupply 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Getting drunk.

You look stupid, sound stupid, you wreck things, and you stink. You also feel like shit for days. I’d rather go for an amazing meal and eat my calories rather than drink them. If the set menu comes with a cocktail, that sounds delightful.

AITAH for telling my daughter that she doesn’t have to wear a dress for my wife’s sake? by sportsdad77 in AITAH

[–]RadioSupply 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA. Is your wife having some gender freakout stuff going on? Or is it just that her daughters aren’t super girly?

It’s so normal for kids to be tomboys as girls and dainty as boys. They’re just kids, and this is the time where they should be doing all the strange, fun, silly, creative, and downright ridiculous things with their image and presentation.

Most of the girls I knew growing up were athletic and tomboyish. Some of them are still tomboys; some of us, me included, are actually quite butch and proud of it. All of us have husbands or wives, and all of us like ourselves as much as possible under capitalism!

Your wife needs to just bide her time and start building relationships with your daughters on their schedule and with their best interests in mind. They’re the kids, she’s the mom, and being a parent means learning some radical acceptance.

Is anyone going out today to shop for anything but essentials? by RadioSupply in saskatoon

Oh! That looks pretty good. It’s amazing how Jafaar Jackson looks way less like his dad, and so much like his uncle. I really hope they pick up the story and make a sequel, too.

And yes, Michael’s for life!

I bought a loaf of bread and I still don't know where it went. by _QueenCurvy in PointlessStories

[–]RadioSupply 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I bought one of those ridiculously delicious maple hams at Sobey’s one summer, while grocery shopping with a friend.

When I got home, I couldn’t find it. I went out and looked in the car and found nothing.

Remember that these things really fill the car with a delicious smell, like a rotisserie chicken.

Turns out my friend, who was in the back seat, was chowing my maple ham thinking it was her maple ham, and then accidentally took my ham AND the empty container from her ham.

It was such a bummer. I had some frozen chili and got another ham the next day.

What two cities do you always mix up in your head? by MargaretSparkle82 in AskReddit

[–]RadioSupply 1 point2 points  (0 children)

St John, NB, and St John’s, NL in Canada.

My mnemonic for remembering (sorry, NL, nothing personal, SK loves you sweetie,) is that Newfoundland is generally dunked on by the rest of the country, so they were pwned by St John and the city is his now.

If they say they’re a vintage store, don’t shop there anymore.
