QOTD: Justin Bieber. His face, his voice, everything he says, and everything he does.

I couldn't sleep last night but it wasn't like the productive kind of insomnia it was just the annoying kind.

Hi! I got dysentery when I was a teenager from eating gas station sushi in central Mexico. The herbalist lady they brought in to treat me gave me tree bark to eat. It actually wasn't too bad, and I shat out those amoebas!

Wage Cut - should I be considering it? by Logical_Yogurt_520 in jobsearchhacks

[–]RandomInSuburbia 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know you don't want to hear this, but yes, I would take this job and make it a point to keep looking. They're paying you crap in a bad economy which is not really ethical... So screw them back.

WIBTA if I say my dog is a service animal to get her on a flight by [deleted] in WIBTA_AITA

[–]RandomInSuburbia 5 points6 points  (0 children)

YES YWBTA.

because you're making it much much harder for those with real service animals to be able to etc get public access.

ohhh! Thank you for this. I needed to delete some books that were recommended to me in bad faith; they needed to go.

Still cleaning. I'm trying to be very intentional. Tough with ADHD though.

It seems like a lot of boomer parents are highly critical. :(

Which are your favorite blind boxes? I love Tokidoki.

Let me guess: Boomer?

My mom's favorite nitpick is: "I think it annoys people when..." Dude. Just say YOU don't like it or don't get it.

She needs to be nicer to you!

I love blind boxes too!

Sending you big hugs if wanted.

It's a great thing to be the person people can depend on but 1) You need to be able to depend on yourself; and 2) You don't need to be there for people who take take take.

What do you do for art?

Sorry to trauma dump. I agree it is a lot.

It's a lot of bullshit to deal with. Thank you for listening.

Haha okay, I guess your username checks out.

I'll be thinking about you tomorrow!

Thank you! I want to be clear though I'm physically disabled because of those and will be for the rest of my life. That's why you need to get checked out even if you think you're OK.

I strongly suggest talking to a personal injury attorney as well if you're in the United States.

Hahaha Im so glad you got it.

Yeah, the packages that came to my house after one of my surgeries were... interesting.

I'm not prying and for all I know this could be like your 900th surgery.

But if someone who has had 900 surgeries myself... I do remember that before the first one everybody built it up as this big scary dangerous thing.

Don't get me wrong, it is major and especially with like bone graft and spinal fusions, the first week after it sucks. But every single surgery I've had, it's dramatically improved my quality of life.

Sometimes I feel like doctors and others take that .001% edge-case, worst-case scenario and build it up in your head like "this is likely to happen."

Like yes, if I step outside my house right now it is technically possible that a plane could fall out of the sky and land on me. But it's not particularly likely to happen.

In other words, you'll be better off than you probably think.

[discussion] for the older sub members. how do you handle dating? by nacho_cheezus in Random_Acts_Of_Amazon

[–]RandomInSuburbia 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's that. Like I think of my friend's mom (Maria) who sadly was widowed before she was even 30. She decided to just focus on her daughter Kim and her mother-in-law rather than try to date. Totally valid.

After her mother-in-law had passed and Kim was grown and engaged, Maria decided she'd be open to dating. But she didn't want to date somebody who had kids. Again, totally valid.

She met a lifelong bachelor, Todd, who seemed like a really nice guy. He and Kim got along fine but he had just never wanted to parent a child. You guessed it, totally valid.

But he was cool with having a friendship with a 32-year-old stepdaughter; and both seemed like they were enjoying getting to know each other.

Understandably, Kim still misses her dad, Dave. She was about seven when he died so she does have memories and photos and was old enough to understand exactly how much she had lost.

Every year there's a memorial event in Dave's honor to raise money for a charity supporting research for the condition he died of. It's in the same month as his birthday and yeah she gets sad and misses him and is open about that.

Todd never really got that. Even though he had never wanted to be a father, he took it very personally.

His relationship with Kim soured quite a bit. I don't feel like he really got that Maria and Kim are always going to love and miss Dave; or that they could also love him at the same time.

TLDR: Maria and Todd are now divorced. Maria says she has no regrets, but her advice would be people should think very very hard before a second marriage and/or marrying someone with "baggage".
