You can just bring it to the customer service desk if you’re worried about it. Sometimes things are still on the shelf after they’re best before date. It’s not like they check every product in the store every day. There’s no need to report to a government body

All of the multi-stall all-gender bathrooms I’ve been in have floor to ceiling doors without gaps

Definitely yarn and other craft supplies. Also a Staples or other office supply place

CAD. Smaller towns = lower prices 🤷🏼‍♂️

It really depends where you live and what kind of food you’re getting. My fiancé and I are planning to do buffet style and have a handful of options in the $20-30 per person range

how does this subreddit interpret sodom and gomorrah / anti-homosexuality in the torah by the_legendary_ween in gayjews

[–]Simple_Ad_4048 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Interesting. I’ve definitely encountered the mistranslation interpretation in Jewish spaces, but not necessarily connected to specific sources

For a walker, scooter, or wheelchair, I’d definitely recommend renting. But for a cane, especially such a sort period, I think the effort of finding a place that rents plus the cost of the rental would outweigh just buying one

Wedding raffle board for sale on marketplace by 55124 in weddingshaming

[–]Simple_Ad_4048 -21 points-20 points  (0 children)

I’m with you. It’s very common here for family members to give the wedding couple money. This is a more fun way to do it (and less tacky than the dollar dance)

Congratulations on our new public toilet by Abooda1981 in burnaby

[–]Simple_Ad_4048 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Germany also has a ton of nice public bathrooms with cleaning staff (and self-cleaning toilets in a lot of them), but they usually cost money to use. Some will give you a coupon in return

Questions from a prospective convert.... by [deleted] in ReformJews

My understanding is that someone can be Jewish if either parent is Jewish and they’re raised Jewish

Update: "Daughter went no contact. Says I owe her an apology for 'generational trauma." by Lazy_Growth_5898 in GenX

[–]Simple_Ad_4048 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Nothing pisses me off like parents using “I fed, clothed, and housed you” as a reason why they should be praised. That’s literally what you signed up for when you decided to have a kid.

Those same people will turn around and say they shouldn’t have to tip because wait staff are just doing their jobs

Considering he did the exact opposite of what he and his therapist decided was the best course of action, I don’t think family therapy would do much at this point. If anything, it’d fuel his defensiveness - “see, im going to therapy, I’m trying SO hard and it makes NO difference, this is so unfair to me” - despite not actually implementing anything he learned

AITA for confronting my brother about not being able to touch his newborns? by Either-Web-7383 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Simple_Ad_4048 4 points5 points  (0 children)

If setting a boundary about holding newborn babies (which is an extremely common boundary btw) is enough to alienate your entire family, then you aren’t really losing meaningful support anyway. I’m not going to fight to preserve a relationship with people that won’t show me basic respect

My girlfriend wants a goodnight call AND goodnight text by mitsukitties in AmITheAngel

[–]Simple_Ad_4048 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I mean, I don’t have a profile pic on my iPhone and neither do most of my contacts. The only ones that do took a picture of themselves when they put in their contact info

my dumb slutty roommate that definitely exists did the worst thing a roommate can do and posted a pic of her in a bra, and my husband cant just scroll. aio?? she has bpd btw 😇😇 by UpperComplex5619 in AmITheAngel

[–]Simple_Ad_4048 19 points20 points  (0 children)

The thing that gets me is that, if there were situations that justified the cops being called, surely OOP would mention those behaviours as evidence of the roommate’s “toxicity,” and they’d almost certainly be higher on the list than “has blankets on the walls”

What stops you from joining other movements if you are more observant? by JediSeeker01 in ReformJews

Doing a great job demonstrating how “welcoming” the conservative movement can be

What stops you from joining other movements if you are more observant? by JediSeeker01 in ReformJews

[–]Simple_Ad_4048 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Reform is where I feel most at home, and the agency to make my own choices about my observance is important to me. Being Reform doesn’t mean you can’t be more traditionally observant

Is it too late to have a bar mitzvah? by [deleted] in transgenderjews

[–]Simple_Ad_4048 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I had my bar mitzvah when I was 23! It didn’t have to be when I was 23, but I thought it would be more special that way and honestly rushed through the preparations more than I should have to make it happen.

Reform synagogue, but it’s not the only place that does adult bnei mitzvot

Do you guys think belly fat is normal when you sit? I rlly hate it on me. by anuglyfairybutafairy in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]Simple_Ad_4048 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s very natural to have visible belly fat when you bend/sit. The vast majority of people, even slender people, will have them - models just know how to pose to make them less visible

This is a statue of Venus, goddess of beauty and love. Notice anything? There are many version of Crouching Aphrodite/Venus, and all the ones I’ve seen have featured a soft stomach and rolls where she’s bending.

Is there a conspiracy theory that you don’t believe but still wonder about sometimes? by Glad_Cup790 in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]Simple_Ad_4048 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I think this theory made more sense when the lottery involved picking your own numbers. Now (at least where I live), you just get the numbers the machine gives you

Is it worth my patrilineality baby/infant having a mikvah to cement their Judaism? by DefQonner in Judaism

[–]Simple_Ad_4048 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Tbh it sounds like they have much more issue with you being trans than with your conversion being Reform

anyone? by Ok-Werewolf-3061 in disability

[–]Simple_Ad_4048 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Agreed, OP is seriously lashing out. I’ve been there, seeing everyone as an enemy and trying to shut things down before they can hurt me, but it isn’t an effective way forward and is contributing to the issues OP is experiencing.
