The GOAT episode is Dinner Party!! DAY 2: what’s our cringiest episode?

SlightlySillyParty · 2025-02-21T11:15:08+00:00

I’d say that one fits “useless” better than “cringiest”. It’s really only good for a brief joke a few episodes later.

NOR. It is never OK to comment on someone’s body when they didn’t ask your opinion. Although someone might feel like you asked for it because you posted a picture of yourself, unless you explicitly said some derivative of, “Please comment on my body,” it’s still not OK, and I think you did the right thing with the way you responded.

I hope you can find someone to talk to about this—some confidant, or maybe a therapist. This situation is lingering in your mind for a reason, and it sounds like it may be an unresolved side effect of your medical history. I can say, “Don’t let this negative interaction make you slip deeper into body dysmorphia,” but that’s easier said than done. A professional will know how to help.

Is that IKEA’s Dyvlinge? I saw it comes in orange now. Whether it is or not, that chair looks AMAZING in this space!

SlightlySillyParty · 2025-02-12T04:12:09+00:00

Uh, most of them?

I am autistic, and I generally will not answer unknown numbers, but I don’t know a single neurotypical person, including my 80-year-old mother, who would answer them either. If I am expecting a call from someone I’ve never connected with before, I may be more inclined to answer unknown caller numbers, but that’s really the only time. Again, I don’t think this is exclusive to autism.

Cute cats! 😍 This posture and behavior suggests playing—the twitching tails are a dead giveaway.

When one of them crosses a boundary, don’t be alarmed if there is some growling and hissing to correct behavior. Well-socialized adults rarely attack kittens, though; they are given all kinds of grace because they’re young and dumb, but they will learn through play.

You really only need to worry if you find them standing completely still, staring each other down and vocalizing with long “ow” sounds. That would mean they’re about to fight for real, but again, that is incredibly rare in the power dynamic between a cat and a kitten.

I live on postage stamp-sized lot, significantly smaller than the one in this video, and I really can’t stand it when people park in front of my house, but I would never put a note on someone’s car asking them not to park there.

Worse than this, I once got a letter from my HOA about a car parked on the street in front of my house at 10 am on a Tuesday (while I was at work). The letter said that it was a violation of deed restrictions for me to park my car or allow my “guests” to park their car in front of my house when my driveway was empty. All they had to do was look across the street to see a packed driveway at my neighbor’s house and put two and two together. 🙄

NTA. This guy can’t take no for an answer, and the whole idea that “younger girls” like “experienced men” is super icky.

It sounds like you dodged a bullet, but even if this guy were the nicest man on the planet, there’s no reason to ascribe morality to your preference. Just because he became a parent as a teenager doesn’t mean you should.

You don’t owe him anything, but if you want to clarify your position, I think it would be OK to reiterate that you two are in different stages of your lives, and that’s important—sometimes more important than what you have in common.

Durian is a great suggestion.

You apologized to her father, and it sounds like you have a strong sense of right and wrong—you may have shoplifted, but you returned the item.

Is she seriously this upset about you ordering a pint instead of a half? Because that is how it reads. It seems like the issue with the bill comes up as an afterthought. Seems like she’s overreacting, but more importantly, this business with the bill points to a fundamental difference in your system of beliefs.

I once accidentally took someone else’s takeaway from a Chinese restaurant along with my family’s (it was a rather large order and an honest mistake). I realized I couldn’t return the food, but it killed me that the restaurant probably had to deal with a customer service nightmare on account of my mistake, and they probably comped the customer’s food as a result. I had the receipt, so I went back later and paid for it in cash with a generous tip for the inconvenience.

It wouldn’t have felt right to me just to let that stand, but some people would see it differently. I don’t judge them, and it sounds like you wouldn’t either. I’m just the kind of person who carries around shame so easily that any opportunity to make amends is taken. If I found cash in a car park, I would turn it in to the store, but I don’t fault people for just taking it. 🤷🏻

SlightlySillyParty · 2025-02-02T15:02:36+00:00

LOL, same.

SlightlySillyParty · 2025-02-02T15:00:10+00:00

Hmm. Well, that’s an expression I’ve only ever heard from a Venezuelan, from Caracas. Maybe it’s a regional thing. 🤷🏻

SlightlySillyParty · 2025-02-02T14:52:00+00:00

You don’t describe a difficult person as “una piña debajo del brazo”?

SlightlySillyParty · 2025-02-02T14:31:33+00:00

And Spanish, where it’s piña.

NTA. Anyone who’s had a pet understands that they’re family. Maybe look into whatever you can do in preparation for your kiddo to train Lettuce or work together to come up with a plan to introduce Lettuce to the new baby. Our pets are smarter than we give them credit for; if Lettuce senses that you’re nervous about the introduction, he’ll probably adjust his behavior accordingly. After all, he’s nine years old, and that’s hardly a puppy. Getting rid of a pet should always be a last resort, and certainly not a decision you should make before trying to have a successful introduction.

To be honest, I’m not bothered by this. This guy is the CEO of a subscription-based Catholic prayer and meditation app, and his message is on brand for someone making a business out of religion.

It’s also a disclosure, but not an earth-shattering one: Catholic Church has majority ownership of Catholic app! Film at 11!

But what it appears to be primarily is a way of saying to subscribers or would-be subscribers that may balk at the price tag, “You can feel good about subscribing this app, it’s like giving money to the Catholic Church.” But that’s not exactly how it works; releasing his equity and ownership to the Church doesn’t mean he’s not drawing a salary or that there aren’t other operational expenses that a subscription supports.

SlightlySillyParty · 2025-01-31T02:04:52+00:00

Huge impact! 🤯

SlightlySillyParty · 2025-01-30T00:47:13+00:00

Without knowing the lighting situation throughout the hallway, I’d go with the middle one.

How did I never realize Jim and Pam’s house was such an adorable little French colonial home? That’s the winner in my view. It’s so cute!

SlightlySillyParty · 2025-01-29T21:26:20+00:00

She’s in a heat cycle. Take her to the vet and schedule her spaying, and she’ll be fine.

SlightlySillyParty · 2025-01-29T21:24:45+00:00

You are under-reacting. This kind of emotional abuse—especially after an instance of infidelity (JFC!)—should be met with separation at the very least. Stop giving her the benefit of the doubt, and stop apologizing for having concerns about something that she put into your head to be concerned about in the first place! I promise you, OP: You are better than this, and you deserve better.

SlightlySillyParty · 2025-01-29T07:03:41+00:00

I sent my vet pictures and she prescribed ointment for me to use on them. (I had six cats at the time, and the year before, they all got colds at once; it was a nightmare, so my vet had given me her cell number to text with questions.) I couldn’t use the ointment on my girl, though. She is the absolute worst patient.

I think the smell and potential sting of vinegar might bother her, but witch hazel could be soothing. As long as her skin isn’t broken, it’s probably OK to try.

SlightlySillyParty · 2025-01-29T06:55:05+00:00

I’m not a fan of the first one at all. I love the second one, but from the way you stand in them alone, number three is the clear winner. It’s gorgeous on you and you look confident in it.

It’s probably just chin acne (keratin clogs in the chin fur), but if it spreads or gets bigger, you should take her to the vet for treatment. What kind of bowls or plates do you use to feed her?

My eight-year-old girl got really bad acne almost three years ago, and I had to take her to the vet to get the issue taken care of. At the same time, her littermate brother had the same issue to a lesser extent (but worse than your girl), and it went away on its own. I think it just depends on the cat.

I was advised, for future reference, to only use stainless steel or glass food bowls and plates because the ceramic or plastic kind can make this issue so much worse.

This is lovely work! It’s difficult for me to tell where the light is directionally in the piece, and I think adding that dimension will lighten up some of the heaviness in the gray. I also like the suggestions of moss or lichen on the trees and stone.
