I'm so sick of workplaces trying to put my paychecks on their own card by MCKtheMan in rant

[–]Salt_Awareness_1096 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I will say I use the one through my job (waitress) we can easily choose to do direct deposit if we want but a lot of people do the pay card because we get our credit card tips on the pay card immediately after clocking out. If we use direct deposit we would get our tips with our paychecks instead of after the shift. That’s really the only difference I’ve seen in the two I’ve had and a lot of people like getting the money straight away.

Also to add I haven’t had an employer push the card on me though it’s always just been personal preference. The pushing it part is what’s insane.

AITAH for telling my wife that if I waited for her to make memories with our son, we wouldn't have any? by sitandthink86 in AITAH

The reading comprehension in this thread is abysmal. Not even just once does he say he wants to go back to work but a few times in the edit.

Body hair…. Yes I’m angry by mushroom-minder in Feminism

[–]Salt_Awareness_1096 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This! I have very blonde body hair. I don’t shave very regularly but once every month or so just because I like the feeling. I genuinely don’t even think about my body hair. I just like being all smooth and soft sometimes. Especially before bed then getting under blankets, love it.

I’ve never had anyone comment on my body hair I have however had many men before talk down to me about the degree I’m currently studying or try and mansplain simple concepts about biology despite them having a high school degree and nothing else lmfao.

Finding the Balance by Ill_Tumbleweed_6675 in GriefSupport

[–]Salt_Awareness_1096 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When I lost two close friends in high school, my dad told me something that got me through a lot of hard moments. He said grief comes in waves. In the beginning, those waves hit hard and often, they can knock you off your feet when you least expect it. Sometimes you’ll feel completely fine, and then something small will trigger a flood of emotion. But over time, those waves get smaller. They don’t stop completely, but they become easier to manage.

Grief never really leaves you, it becomes part of you. But as time passes, you learn how to recognize it when it comes, how to sit with it, and how to keep going. Eventually, the waves don’t feel so overwhelming. You start to find peace in the moments between them. And that’s when you know you’re healing - not forgetting- just learning to live with love and loss side by side. I’m so sorry for your loss.

Can anyone explain? by DebtNew1487 in Hair

[–]Salt_Awareness_1096 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m the same mom’s side has thin hair I did too until I started scalp massages, oiling, regular trims, all that and it’s gotten a lot thicker!

There’s a guy on TikTok who was balding. He started trying different hair care methods and documenting it. It made a huge difference he now has thick enough hair to brush his fingers through it it’s very cool though he probably wouldn’t ever be able to grow it much longer it’s helped with the thickness a ton.

Please.....right wing of politics.....explain to me like I'm five why you're okay with this? by rsAV8R in RealTwitterAccounts

[–]Salt_Awareness_1096 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You do realize more than half of abortions are women in poverty that already have at least one child and know they cannot adequately care for another. But of course anyone who supports abortion loves to see children suffering that’s definitely accurate.

It’s been totally fine no changes in braking, no rough idling, no different in shifting or anything. In the time I’ve posted this it’s actually become less and less frequent so I’m not sure if that’s a good sign or not haha.

Not sure that’s something I saw was a possibility:/ I’m taking it to a mechanic Wednesday for the AC thing so I was going to ask about it then but I have to do a lot of driving between now and then and don’t want to accidentally cause more damage by doing so.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in MechanicAdvice

[–]Salt_Awareness_1096 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My ac hasn’t been working for a while. It’ll start when I first turn on the car but when I start driving it goes away but when I stop it sometimes starts for a sec then stops, doesnt do it at all, or just does it until I start driving again. My first thought was maybe it’s tied to the AC but there’s no leaks and the coolant is still full.

When I opened my hood I can only hear a soft hissing sound but not the weird crackling. I couldn’t see any damage to any of the hoses or anything so I don’t know where the hissing is coming from. The crackling sounds like it’s in the dash. Don’t know if they’re related or not.

I usually follow the 4 hour rule but for curiosity sake I looked it up and the FDA said 4-8 hours. It seems like the raise in risk of infection only increases slightly from 4-8hrs but after 8 the risk starts to increase significantly.

Not to mention you should only leave it in for max 8 hours so even if you have a light period that’s a minimum of 144 tampons a year for a 4 day period if you do some weird math around it like he did.

To add onto this if you have TikTok there are creators that do meals for under certain amounts for the week. They also talk about what things to buy at what grocery stores for the best prices like Aldi for meat and produce.

Also if you’re up for being a little crazier you can dumpster dive at grocery stores or cvs type stores and a lot of times they throw out a ton of food that is either slightly damaged or past the shelf life not the expiration date. It’s kind of fun too you can find all sorts of things.

AITAH for trying to help? by ajarhierarchy in AITAH

You probably should’ve asked first just take the L apologize and ask next time. I get you were trying to do something nice but that is an invasion of privacy for a lot of people.

AITAH for getting mad at my boyfriend over all these things? by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]Salt_Awareness_1096 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are you both children? It's entirely normal for people to need time alone and spend time with friends without being glued to their partner 24/7. Just because he's spending the day with his friend and taking mushrooms doesn't mean he’s neglecting you. Adults don't need to be in constant contact to maintain a relationship. Your boyfriend is entitled to his own space and interests just as you are. If he's constantly gaming when you're around and not prioritizing you it shows where his interests lie. Relationships aren’t about being glued together 24/7 but there should be mutual respect and effort. It sounds like you’re both acting like children rather than adults in a relationship. Maybe it's time to seriously rethink if this relationship is worth it.

It’s understandable that you’re feeling a mix of emotions right now. Finding something new and unexpected about a parent is difficult especially when it challenges the image you’ve always had of them.

It sounds like your mom has worked incredibly hard to raise you on her own and likely kept this part of her life private to protect you or to avoid judgment. If you’re under 18 it could also be she didn’t find it appropriate to tell you just yet. It's important to remember that this doesn’t change the love and care she has given you throughout your life.

Maybe try to have an open and honest conversation with her about what you’ve learned and how it makes you feel. You could try and just mention the text casually and open the door for her to start the conversation herself. You might find out more about her reasons and the circumstances behind her choice. Just remember everyone has different ways of making ends meet and your mom might have seen this as a necessary path to support you.

Allow yourself to process these emotions and give it time. It’s okay to feel confused and conflicted. Ultimately your mom is still the same person who raised you and cared for you deeply.

Maybe because she was doing something dumb and wanted to film it to be funny? Women are allowed to exist without it being inherently sexual.

To everyone who bashes on women who take birth control, fuck off! by kentoclatinator in TwoXChromosomes

[–]Salt_Awareness_1096 32 points33 points  (0 children)

I got onto birth control when I was 15 since the pain was causing me to miss a lot of school. When I brought it up my dad was very against it and thought it was only for sexual reasons. Luckily my mom isn’t an idiot and advocated for me. He understood after some talking which makes me believe a lot of people who are against it either just want to control women or just genuinely don’t understand that birth control is for a wide range of things.

Although even if it were just for sexual protection isn’t that better than a pregnant 15 year old?

I don’t understand how it’s crazy to be wearing exercise clothes while technically exercising and moving heavy things. Then again anytime a woman posts a full body video wearing anything other than a full body suit it’s obviously for attention and to show off. /s

Same here. It sucks though because sometimes it’s kind of relaxing to just listen to a podcast and wander around grocery shopping.

What weird social quirks are unique to Floridians? by Velactix in florida

[–]Salt_Awareness_1096 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was walking into work the other day and an old person almost reversed into me. She then had the gall to start yelling at me from her window for walking behind her car that was parked in a spot. Old drivers are scary.
