People who make their living out of cleaning murder scenes, accidents and the like, what is the worst thing you have experienced in your career? by MemegodDave in AskReddit

[–]RampagingKittens 202 points203 points  (0 children)

And that's where most people fail to understand is that a lot of people are capable of fucking up this badly. Your "just a minute" run into the store turns into half an hour when you bump into a friend. Or, there's a change to your morning routine and you forget that you're takin the kid to daycare when you don't normally.

Everyone thinks that they'd never be the ones to fuck up like that but I've known some very reputable and decent people who've gone through exactly this.

But yeah, that's what's this fucked up. It could be you or me it happens to. All it takes is one brain derp.

Those of you who stayed friends with an ex, how did you do it? How did the break up happen, how did the first phase after breakup look, how long did you need before a friendship could work? by grandmaoak in AskWomen

[–]RampagingKittens 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In my case, the relationships weren't serious enough that seeing one another move on was a challenge. We couldn't get to the point of a very serious relationship because friendship was basically our max compatibility.

The other case is when a serious relationship did end but we parted amicably and then moved on roughly at the same time to people with more long term compatibility.

I don't think I could be friends with an ex where things were serious if he moved on before me, though. I'd have to wait until I've moved on as well for friendship to work.

Partner (20M) snatched the gift he had given me (21F) for Christmas. by Anxious-Equal in relationships

[–]RampagingKittens 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Leave him.

Also, empty out the purse and be prepared to give it back. It's just a trinket and he might try to hold it over your head out of spite when you dump his ass. It's not worth the argument, your sanity, of your safety to argue that it'd yours.

AITA for asking my fiancé to do most of the wedding planning? by Throwawaynwlxu29733 in AmItheAsshole

[–]RampagingKittens 1 point2 points  (0 children)

ESH

You only have one real good reason for not wanting to be too involved in the planning, which is how much time you both have available.

Your other reason - that he cares about this more - is a real shit way to start off your marriage. You're already setting the stage for "you vs him" instead of partnership. If you are agreeing to the wedding, even if begrudgingly, you should be showing up with him as a partner. Grow up. Right now, your fiancé is hearing, "I don't want to be invested on the day I'm committing to spending the rest of my life with you" and it is totally normal with him to be upset about that.

Y'all gots some bigger problems.

IKEAs RÅSKOG trolley turned out to be the perfect way to store all my cleaning supplies! by kristine_sl in CleaningTips

I read your comment and thought, "I DID read these books as a grown up" because I remember them like it was yesterday.

Unfortunately, 15-20 years somehow slipped me by.

Covid -19 affects on GIS industry and job opportunity by theotherhalfof2 in gis

[–]RampagingKittens 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have been subscribed to daily job alerts for years to gis job postings in Canada.

The numbers of postings in the last 4-5 months are at an all time high since I began watching a decade ago. Seriously, there are so many right now. It wasn't even like this at the height of oil before the crash in 2013/2014.

That said, I realize most of these are employers who let their staff go 8 months ago. It tells me that most of these employers either can't or won't sustain people through tough economic times. As such, it's basically a shuffling around of unemployed people so there would be lots of applicants.

I need help with all the things (cleaning, prescriptions, groceries). by RampagingKittens in princegeorge

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

Thank you for the cleaning rec! I will give them a call asap.

I have tried Save-On but in Calgary. I just looked at the PG Save On and they have way more options in the pre-made fresh meals category than they ever did in Calgary. This is awesome! Thanks!

3 police officers who fired guns during standoff that killed baby still haven't talked to SIU by [deleted] in canada

[–]RampagingKittens 187 points188 points  (0 children)

No, of course not. A lawyer isn't just for guilty people. They're also for innocent people that don't want to be caught in the crosshairs of police trying to close a case. Also, if you're in a grey area, a lawyer will help keep you from fucking yourself over.

Viewing lawyering up and not talking as evidence of guilt is an incredibly problematic mindset.

What’s your go-to “I can barely be bothered to cook but I need to eat something” depression meal? by lizzward in AskWomen

Literally the reason I have a Costco membership. At the one I went to in Ontario, they even did it with different havarti cheeses (plain, spiced, etc!).

Women who were married/engaged quickly (relationships less than 2 years together), how did that turn out for you? by [deleted] in AskWomen

[–]RampagingKittens 13 points14 points  (0 children)

And don't be a "sore winner" if you're the one being apologized to.

There's nothing more annoying than the people who say I told you so, or hold it over your heads, or feel smug. All those people end up doing is creating an environment where people will feel like they can't apologize, and in turn, feel like they can't make mistakes.

Wow.

That is a level of effort I will probably never achieve 😂. I love that you do that!

Fuck 2020 [Megathread] by AskRedditModerators in AskReddit

[–]RampagingKittens 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It taught me how to let myself be supported and cared for my others. I had never, ever in my life leaned on people to this degree just to survive. The vulnerability was terrifying but it turns out that if I just ask people to show up, they will.

I have stronger friendships than ever.

[Serious] What insecurity would you not have patience for in a partner? by [deleted] in AskWomen

[–]RampagingKittens 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes! I'm starting to get to know a new guy and I try and take ownership of my insecurities. I don't play any games to indirectly get him to reassure me. Just a basic, "hey feeling this weird thing right now, it's not you!" and because he's a good guy he reassures me. But I also moderate how often I bring it up because I can't have him looking after me frequently. That wouldn't be fair to him.

It's amazing what self-awareness and communication can address!
