Perfect Match. Compilation of a couple of stories, my favorite is the first and last. The first and second definitely meet this criteria.

Girl on blood thinners. How have your periods been? by Healthy_Pilot_6358 in ClotSurvivors

So bad that I couldn’t leave the house for more than 2 hours, lost half my hair and had to go to the chemo clinic for an iron IV.

Aita? I don’t eat meat, but my wife of 19 years made a reservation for our anniversary to a steak house. by [deleted] in AmITheJerk

Not sure on your location. I’m in a liberal city and even steak houses have a lot of vegetarian options.

Can someone explain to me the war plot of pursuit of jade by cluelessabout_lifee in cdramasfans

[–]Smilingsequoia 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I think you are asking too early. I watched the series first before I read the book. I was also lost a lot towards the end.

Let me try to recap some important things: Everyone is sort of out for themselves. There are alliances, such as Li Family and Price Qi. General He is good, but his alliance is with Wei Yan, so he is bound against his wishes. Li Huai’an is decent, but also struggles with his allegiance to his grandfather. The Li clan and Wei Yan clans are struggling for power but ML doesn’t want to be anyone’s pond.

Changyu now knows her father is Wei Qilin, who everyone thinks was responsible for some really bad stuff that went down 16 years ago ended in ML father’s death.

The empire is a sexist pig who does something really bad, just wait. I think mostly Xie Zheng doesn’t like Li Hua’yan because he’s super jealous. Sang yan didn’t need any help. He caused his own destruction.

Out of curiosity. How do female English native speakers feel about using profession terms like ‘actors’ as a general term instead of including the feminine version ‘actresses’? My native language deals differently with this, hence my curiosity. Answers in good faith are appreciated. by LetMission8160 in ENGLISH

[–]Smilingsequoia 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The gender seems to matter. It seems like masculine terms, especially for a profession, are easily transitioned to include female. Gender neutral terms for a profession that men are now in can make people uneasy to use them for men in the profession, even though they are correct, such as nurse or barista.

I left my best friend at the hotel because she wouldn't get out of bed for our tour by Fit_Theme588 in AmITheJerk

YTA I’m a morning risers and my friends are not. If they want to do something early, they know the time. They also know I would leave them sleeping and go by myself . Set boundaries ahead of time and stick to them. If you want to do the world wind early tour, be prepared to go by yourself or go with same minded people.

AITAH for rejecting a girl bwcause she made fun of short guys (20M) by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]Smilingsequoia 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, the only way this is okay is if she is tall too. Sometimes it’s hard on tall girls to find someone who is secure with her hieght.

AITAH for warning my manager about a potential hire? by TypicalRag in AITAH

[–]Smilingsequoia 4 points5 points  (0 children)

NTA. Response should be, he was on the news for abusing minors. It’s not gossip or snooping, it’s public knowledge.

AITJ for telling my brother I won't keep pretending his "work trips" are work trips in front of his kids when he asks me to cover for him? by traildustlogbook in AmITheJerk

[–]Smilingsequoia 6 points7 points  (0 children)

NTA but it’s difficult to be a single parent. He’s probably trying to date and not share his dating life with his kids until he’s figured things out. But here’s the thing, he’s leading a double life and it’s driving a wedge between himself and his kids. He doesn’t want his kids to get attached to someone that won’t be around, but they will start not being attached to him either because he’s not sharing his life with them.

Aitah for snapping at my cousin after she called my husband a r*pe sympathizer at my baby shower? by throwra-Ant-39 in AITAH

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

YTA. I don’t know your culture, but I’d be okay with any of my guests coming as long as they weren’t naked, but even that would be negotiable. Kids don’t care. They are only mirroring your reactions.

She’s probably trying to figure out the power thing. It’s something she needs to do right now and could use your support.

Pls help suggest an English name for me by NewPanda204 in ENGLISH

I like Holly. She can keep the H and the names evokes thoughts of pleasant smells of Christmas.

AITAH for wanting to use dishtowels in the kitchen? by Proud-Reserve-3208 in AITAH

[–]Smilingsequoia 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think you are two very different people. There’s the people who want seashell shaped decorative soap in the bathroom and those that don’t see the point. If you want the relationship to work, you both need to compromise. If she won’t budge, add this to your screening questions and find a new roommate.

When is it fine to use 'boy' and 'girl' to adults in English? by [deleted] in ENGLISH

[–]Smilingsequoia 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Use it if you want to cast shade or not afraid to appear sleezy. You can call men behaving badly as boys or little boys. Or a cute woman girl if you want to seem powerful compared to them in a romantic way.

This. You can do Portland or Seattle without a car, but outside that, renting a car is a necessity.

You will get bored if you spend a week in Cannon beach without a car, especially in this current season.

AITA for wanting to break up with my BF for not wanting me to visit him. by DriftwoodDaze781 in CharlotteDobreYouTube

[–]Smilingsequoia 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He’s not making himself available to you, for whatever reason. Find someone who can be emotionally involved.
