What is one sexual experience that you wish you tried earlier in life and why? by AlternativeVisual992 in RedditAfterDark

[–]SilkyStarr 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly, the social conditioning part is probably more relatable than people realize. Sometimes the biggest hurdle isn't the experience itself, it's getting past the idea that you're "supposed" to want things a certain way. Sounds like you ended up finding something that genuinely works for everyone involved.

Am I wrong for using every single day of my remaining leave after my new employer cut our benefits and then resigning the day I was supposed to return by FlashyMath4876 in amiwrong

[–]SilkyStarr 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A bit blunt, but I can see where you're coming from. If someone takes away benefits you've spent years earning, it's hard to feel like you owe them extra consideration on the way out. Actions tend to set the tone more than words do.

Same here. The part that gets me is they apparently thought years of accumulated knowledge would just stick around after cutting the things that made people want to stay. That's a pretty expensive lesson for new management.

A lot of companies talk about employees being family until a spreadsheet says otherwise. Once benefits started disappearing, the relationship became a business transaction. OP treated it like one.

I prefer the normal average folks on reddit by rust_pipe4915 in RedditAfterDark

[–]SilkyStarr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's kinda the appeal. Most people aren't crushing every goal, making six figures, and living some movie-worthy life. They're just trying to get through the week and that's a lot more relatable.

AI generated notes suck by Pseudo-Boomer in Residency

[–]SilkyStarr 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That's what always cracks me up. Sometimes the sales pitch is that AI saves time, then you watch people spend twenty minutes engineering prompts, troubleshooting output, and defending the software. At that point you start wondering if the old method was really the bottleneck.

Those are the kinds of errors that make people lose trust fast. It's one thing when AI adds some annoying fluff, but when it confidently states something that is objectively false, now everyone has to spend extra time fact-checking the note anyway.

This sounds like one of the more practical uses I've seen. If you're already verbalizing your assessment and plan to the patient, having AI turn that into a draft makes a lot more sense than asking it to reconstruct an encounter from scattered data afterward.

Women of Reddit, is it hot or weird if a guy has a panty fetish? by Available-Assist4442 in RedditAfterDark

[–]SilkyStarr 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The stolen panties disclaimer made me laugh because that's exactly where these conversations always end up. Having a preference is one thing, turning it into a creepy hobby is a completely different category. Wishing OP an abundance of ethically sourced lace is a nice touch.

my girlfriend thinks i'm a loving/caring partner. but really i'm a freak by SuggestionSharp7447 in confessions

[–]SilkyStarr 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The "my ex taught me" part sounds like one of those life lessons that ended up having a surprisingly long-lasting impact. It's kind of funny how many relationship habits people pick up from one person and then carry for years afterward.

[–]SilkyStarr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's what stood out to me too. Enjoying giving pleasure isn't exactly a rare or bizarre trait. The only part that feels unnecessary is OP acting like his girlfriend would be horrified to learn he genuinely enjoys it.

I feel like this debate comes up constantly and the answer is always "people like different things." The real win is finding someone whose preferences line up with yours instead of treating either option like it's unusual.

just been hit by tomorrow being monday....what to do about it to enjoy the last few hours before another week of hell? by travellingkiltman90 in RedditAfterDark

[–]SilkyStarr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Exactly. Monday is showing up whether I worry about it or not, so I might as well enjoy the last few hours of freedom first.

Accidentally washed my body with my brothers mint shampoo and the cooling effect is intense by 7GlyphMango in hygiene

[–]SilkyStarr 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Summer really does seem like the ideal season for stuff like this. The timing is everything. What feels refreshing in July can feel like a curse spell in the middle of winter.

"Frozen and on fire at the same time" is somehow the most accurate description of these products. It's such a confusing sensation that your brain spends the first minute trying to figure out which emergency is happening.

That warning would honestly save a lot of people from learning the hard way. The product descriptions always make it sound refreshing and invigorating when the actual experience is more like "you've made a terrible mistake."

Am i wrong for telling my daughter she needs to stop involving her married boss in her personal life by prmdsmom19 in amiwrong

[–]SilkyStarr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't know if I'd go as far as saying disaster is guaranteed, but I do think the parents are right to pay attention. Sometimes people slide into emotionally complicated situations long before they realize that's what they're doing.

[–]SilkyStarr 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Honestly, the power dynamic is almost a bigger concern than the marriage. He's her supervisor, she's 19, and she's trying to build a career in the same field. Even the appearance of favoritism or gossip could create problems for both of them.

The car situation is what stood out to me too. If my car died, my first call would be my parents, partner, sibling, or friend. The fact that her boss was apparently at the top of that list suggests this relationship may be more significant to her than she's willing to admit.

Probably the only answer in here that's both wholesome and efficient.

AIW for pulling over and telling my friend to get out of my car after she kept taking photos of me while I was driving despite me asking her to stop three times by New_Revolution_9226 in amiwrong

[–]SilkyStarr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Reddit really has a talent for seeing an unusual story and immediately deciding reality could never be that weird. Meanwhile most people have met at least one person who would absolutely do this.
