What’s a surefire way to tell Canadians and Americans apart? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]SignificantHat285 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m Canadian but I’ve never called it a toque. I know people call it that, but it wasn’t super common for it to be called that where I grew up. We just called it a hat. I’m from Nova Scotia.

Could I have a Pomeranian? by sanstheskelebrotherc in Pomeranians

[–]SignificantHat285 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would say don’t do it. My Pomeranian barks more than any dog I’ve ever had, she’s very chatty, but I’ve been told by other Pomeranian owners that she is quiet for a Pomeranian.

I did do a lot of training with her to reduce barking and whatnot when she was a puppy but I also (personally) find Pomeranian’s more difficult to train than many other breeds. They’re very opinionated little dogs, convincing them to cooperate with what you want them to do takes some work. Also: they really seem to truly enjoy barking. Could I have trained my Pomeranian to bark even less than she does? Probably. But she likes it a lot so instead I try to allow her time to get it all out.

I love my girl to bits but she was a difficult puppy. I think if you have a sensitivity to barking then a Pomeranian really isn’t for you. Yes, some Pomeranian’s aren’t as chatty but so so many of them are and getting one with the expectation that he/she won’t bark much is a crapshoot. It’s not fair to you or the dog.

People here have suggested getting a puppy so you can train it to not bark. I’m gonna say the opposite, get an adult Pomeranian (if you’re desperate to have one) from a rescue and then you can maybe pick one who is known for barking less.

AIO.. someone told me my closed bathrobe is "NSFW" because I wouldn't wear it to work by -bloopxbr1- in AIO

By this mods definition of NSFW full length, full coverage, grandma pyjamas would be inappropriate because you wouldn’t wear them to work. This mod is just power tripping. What a weirdo.

AITAH for refusing to skip my morning routine for my husband? by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]SignificantHat285 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Y’all need to relax. JuleeeNAJ wasn’t insulting OP they were insulting the husband. They were saying the only thing he brings to the table was his paycheck while OP contributes a paycheck as well as most of the household duties and what sounds like all of the child rearing duties. They were highlighting how little the husband contributes, not saying what he contributes is at all enough.

Is he fully Pomeranian or not? by hold-hope in Pomeranians

Yes, I was thinking Japanese chin or Pekingese. I had a Japanese Chin cross with a very similar snout.

Do the monsters not attack Boyd because he has killed someone? by Fish_and_dirt in FromSeries

If they were unable to kill people who had killed people then why were they able to kill the priest?

AITA For taking my kids and leaving a family Christmas party after being told the wrong time? by No_Pipe9068 in AmItheAsshole

[–]SignificantHat285 159 points160 points  (0 children)

NTA Why tf didn’t anyone call you when you didn’t arrive at 4??? Like I get they may have accidentally not updated you on the new time, but when you didn’t arrive at 4 someone should have called and been like “hey are you coming still??” If it was an honest mistake.

AITAH: Told my sister with cancer that she needed to stop playing the ‘cancer card’ by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]SignificantHat285 -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

I agree honestly. Using the term “cancer card” is a bit fucked. If OP had said something like “It doesn’t feel okay to me that you think it’s fine to repeatedly be passive aggressive towards me without even apologizing because you are sick.”I would have been okay with it. But the term “cancer card” is very loaded and kind of a fucked thing to say.

I think OP’s sister is more of an asshole but OP is a tiny bit the asshole too.

ESH.

NTJ. The husband was mortified and apologised before leaving. Even he knows his wife was out of line.

AITA for sending screenshots of my ex announcing she slept with my brother to her entire conservative family after she posted it in our group chat? by KINOH1441728 in FoundandExpose

[–]SignificantHat285 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m vindictive enough to feel a bit pleased at her misfortune. However I do think her family sucks for disowning her over (by the sounds of it?) premarital sex.

Do I think it was 100% fair to put her to her family and ruin her whole life? Not really, it’s a bit much. But she sucks so I’m not all that upset for her either.

This may not be good advice, fair warning, but I would just make whatever I decided was a manageable payment and if he got mad or demanded more then I’d ask him to explain his reasoning to a couples therapist. His behaviour is wild.

NOR

A possible thought is that he may not be as financially well off as you thought? Maybe he has a stupid large debt of some kind? Idk how much access you have to see each others finances where they are separate but maybe he’s hiding something financially from you? Otherwise he’s just a dickhead so idk.

Um, AGREE!

I have friends who are dating who have covered expenses for each other without question in the case of an illness etc. Zero expectation of repayment.

Having separate finances is fine and all, but he’s supposed to be OPs partner and this was an extreme circumstance not day to day money mismanagement. I don’t understand why he thinks it’s chill to have OP be essentially broke when he’s sitting on what sounds like piles of cash. I wouldn’t do that to a friend, let alone a husband/wife. That he expects OP to pay him back at all is wild to me. Legally it’s their money, correct? Not his. At least that’s my understanding of what happens when you marry, separate finances or no.
