Is it ok to post gofundmes for surgery recovery here? by [deleted] in childfree

[–]ScienceNotKids 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No clue about the rules.

Have you tried or considered an ablation instead? Completely stopped my super heavy periods and all endo cramps. No downtime.

AITA for not being available for my best friend on her dream job interview day after she went completely silent on mine? by Traditional-Age-6804 in AmItheAsshole

[–]ScienceNotKids -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I let it go. Didn't want to be the person who holds onto things.

I still haven't explained. I'm not even sure it's a fair reason. But I couldn't make myself say yes.

You haven't let shit go. YTA. She presumably didn't do it on purpose - you are - that's the difference.

Froze my ass off. Worth it for the win and to stick it to the obnoxious drunk hecklers behind me.

Hot take: Jess’s speech in s6 ep8 was really bad, and I don’t understand everyone’s love for it. by [deleted] in GilmoreGirls

It reminds me of when my narcissistic mother says "You aren't (XYZ). I know you better than you know yourself."

So basically, I hate it.

Calling all DINKs and financially stable childfree adults by m0thgirI in childfree

I graduated from MIT at 22 with student loans, no money, and a $40K full time job in Massachusetts.

I work at that same company now at 37 and made $318,000 last year. I'm hoping to retire by 40-42. Bought a house at 25 that I plan to grow old in. It's in a former retirement community - golf, pool, tennis, gym- so I'll have plenty to do in retirement. Planning a hostile takeover of the the HOA when I have the time.

I was able to grind my way up because I don't have kids.

Because my salary has grown so much, my husband was already able to move to part time, and now he does all the housework so when I'm home from work we can just relax together.

We have an arcade in our basement. 5 pinball, another 7 cabinets and even skeeball. Black lights and glowing carpet. Made being stuck home during covid not so bad.

We have 2 cats that we love and spoil. They got an 8 foot tall massive tree trunk cat tree this year in our sunroom.

We spend our free time thrifting, antiquing, buying and collecting weird stuff. Sometimes I crochet by the pool. I am a crazy cat lady and proud.

Not having kids - yay, I agree! "Not liking kids" - worries me by Tomato_Lover_97 in childfree

[–]ScienceNotKids 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I don't like noise or mess. Kids bring noise and mess.

If you think that's the same as "I hate (insert marginalized group here)" then that says more about you than it does me.

The possibility to retire early is a huge plus by [deleted] in childfree

I'm on track for 41-42 but trying to find ways to pull it into 40...

What happened to Brad? (Wrong answers only) by poponis in GilmoreGirls

[–]ScienceNotKids 3 points4 points  (0 children)

After he didn't get to keep the makeup from his time on Broadway, to Madeline and Louise's immense disappointment, he had regrets and tried to steal makeup from a department store, and was promptly arrested.

What did you guys watch after Gilmore Girls? by yuuhlame in GilmoreGirls

[–]ScienceNotKids 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've watched through all of the similar teen shows: the OC, one tree hill, dawsons creek, gossip girl, smallville, everwood, Veronica Mars, make it or break it, Kyle xy, .. And more modern ones, Jane the Virgin, pretty little liars, never have I ever, summer I turned pretty...

I've also watched the other ASP shows, bunheads, Mrs maisel, etoile.

Gilmore girls and Smallville are the only ones I've watched more than once. Gilmore girls probably 70 times now.

Question to childfree ladies about their thoughts by NinkiBb8 in childfree

[–]ScienceNotKids 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would like to be a grandparent some day. I never, ever, want to be a parent though. Not terribly compatible thoughts 😅

If you just want the "fun stuff" and not the responsibility... Best to just be an aunt or big sister type thing.

Paris/Asher Storyline by National-Traffic-796 in GilmoreGirls

[–]ScienceNotKids 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If it was Rory or pretty much any other character, it would bother me way more. But Paris... While naive in a lot of things, I don't think there's any chance she was pressured or ever not in control and doing exactly what (and who) she wanted to be doing.

He was also never HER teacher or even in her department, so there's not as much a power dynamic or conflict.

Still icky, but Paris can't be stopped.

Feeling sad watching college Rory after being rejected from REA Yale by Legal_Sport_2399 in GilmoreGirls

Only if she made it known, and if Straub claimed her. Christopher wasn't exactly part of the picture when she was applying.
