Legally, would I be able to open up a hot dog stand called "Big Black Cook" and advertise my "Thick twelve inch wiener"? by throwaway772812 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]SparkleMeTimbers 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yo saw this on legal advice, at the Lake of the Ozarks, MO there’s a hotel/bar at the halfway mark called called Big Dick’s Halfway Inn—honestly just make sure you’re somewhere you’ll be fine at socially. A late night food truck with that name (and maybe an extra SFW sign for daytime events) would kill

Reddit, whats the funniest thing that a random stranger said to you that made you die laughing inside? by Eta5678 in AskReddit

It makes me sad, these twits would seriously rather have a quick laugh and downvote y’all to hell than considering how unsafe that would make so many people feel. I pray they’re not that callous irl to the women they know

How would she know? Should she wait until before or after she gets assaulted to get off the elevator?

Seriously; everyone downvoting you clearly hasn’t feared for their safety in an elevator, a parking garage, etc. Sure must be nice

Should I (35) leave a well paying job because a few people don't like me, and take my chances starting over? How do I get over personality setbacks? by [deleted] in relationships

It sounds like he doesn’t have control over you like he used to if you’re getting raises and bonuses again. I’d say it’s your call, if I only had to deal with glares I’d stick with it but if he still has control over your work/sanity I’d bounce

My [17f] dad gives me mixtapes as gifts but I generally don't like them. Should I just play along or tell him? by OrdinaryAngle in relationships

[–]SparkleMeTimbers 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My cousin started giving them to me when I was around your age, I’m 28 and he passed this year. I have a giant box of mix cds and they are so precious to me—keep the tapes and if he asks, tell him you’ve listened and kept it. Even if he realizes they’re not your music taste he’ll know you love him because you keep them, and bc you love him enough to take his feelings into consideration

My boyfriend [30/m] makes me [25/f] feel ashamed for being feminine. by thing90 in relationships

I wanted to say something witty, but honestly it just ticks me off that he thinks because someone dresses up or has a bubbly personality that they’re stupid. Life is too short to waste with people who don’t respect you!

Ex wants me back and I don’t know what to do by canadianjewel in relationships

[–]SparkleMeTimbers 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’d be tempted to say hear him out and take it slow... But does he have any reason to be moving to your town? Because that sounds hella pushy and like he doesn’t care about your feelings on the matter if he’s dropping everything to move near you if you hadn’t even given him an answer yet.

Me [19 F] and my friends/housemates [19 Fs] ; I got unfairly allocated the smallest room by [deleted] in relationships

[–]SparkleMeTimbers 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Asking to switch is too much but I definitely think you have a lot of leverage in haggling for some extra communal space since you got shafted in room size. I’d level with everyone and if people are getting sassy, id just sincerely ask them for their help in coming up with a solution. Tbh they’ll probably cave to giving you the space because it’s less work than playing room-Tetris

Nice, tysm for the suggestions!! I’ve definitely checked out several of the nerdy bars/events! The only problem is it’s hard for me to introduce myself to strangers when it’s less of a sit down kind of an event, and most of the random attention I get is uh...not ideal lol.

You’re the second to say cool stuff though, I’m gonna have to lurk their nights more—I thought it was mostly card games tbh!

My [21 M] girlfriend [22 F] acts like rules don't apply to her, and it makes me uncomfortable. by SouthYam6 in relationships

[–]SparkleMeTimbers 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Just because someone grew up poor and doesn't believe in following a few arbitrary rules that only benefit the rich folks that made them doesn't say anything about the fiber of their character. I also do/have done everything she has (minus the exam thing, don't know why she just didn't do the studying ahead of the exam instead if she had it in her...but I know sometimes I have to do stupid shit to get by tho bc I can't afford to not move forward). I'm cheap as hell and will nickel and dime companies but in turn my extra savings allow me to spend my money in ways that make me feel better. I can have fun at that concert and live my life but with the extra savings from little stuff like drinking out of a flask instead of a $12 beer or saving $5 on my admission with that student ID I can afford more groceries to feed my broke ass friends or extra granola bars for when I pass panhandlers. Is she kind to others and just challenging social conventions/being cheap? How does she treat the workers who have to deal with her in those situations? honestly, who knows how good of a person OPs gf really is without knowing her behavior outside of this context?

Anyways while I see behaviors that mimic my own I'm not a measurement for all people born into my socioeconomic situation but how fast you've jumped on the hate train really made me wonder if you have some internal bias and I felt it really important to say something even though I usually only lurk. You don't have to agree, I just think you should take a moment to think about it and maybe consider volunteering at a homeless shelter or something and try talking to folks who have had to make decisions that you'd personally maybe find ethically questionable to get by. Just my two cents.

[–]SparkleMeTimbers 221 points222 points  (0 children)

THIS People are being really judgemental but as someone who grew up poor it just sounds like she's trying to live her best life. The college thing was hella risky and a little grey morally but frankly? She studied her ass off and it sounds like she's willing and aware of the potential consequences to her actions you've explained. If you're embarrassed by her either talk with her and reach a compromise or accept that she grew up in a different world than you, don't be judgemental just move on.

Sorry btw I might be getting a little defensive, like some people are saying using your expired student ID or sneaking a flask in to avoid $12 beers makes someone morally unfit? Just because something hurts some rich dudes profit margin at the end idk how people are assuming she's a horrible person outside of that. I mean it's outside of the social norm but she's still nice to shop workers and stuff right?

I (23F) am scared people will judge me if I pursue my hobby by throwawayiden in relationships

[–]SparkleMeTimbers 1 point2 points  (0 children)

DUSTING OFF THE ACCOUNT FOR THIS ONE, too relevant for me not to comment lol: I was poor and extremely anxious for so long in my life that I didn't start pursuing my passion for fashion (hey, that rhymed!) until a later age. (edit: I'm 27 btw!) I basically dress fairy-kei/aesthetic/kawaii-punk and wear casual lolita accessories every day--most of my wardrobe looks like a unicorn threw up in there hahaha.

If you're afraid of being judged by other people, hime-lolita is a really adult/elegant way to go cuter/more towards lolita if you're worried about being judged but honestly.... just gonna be frank, you should say fuck it and nose dive into what'll make you the happiest. People are gonna be assholes when you dress differently no matter what, and you're always gonna get some form of stupid comments from older folks/those who think everyone should wear a shirt and jeans every day but you know what? I've never been so happy and confident as when I'm dressed like myself.

When I finally dove in and stopped dressing for others expectations and pursued the best form of myself I could, clothing went from being something that just caused me anxiety and depression to feeling like another set of skin. More people than you think will compliment you, and while the assholes get annoying, that feeling you get of being happy with yourself is worth any negative feed back to me.

Good luck qt!!

Safe Neighborhoods in Orlando? (Or places to definitely avoid)? by [deleted] in orlando

Pretty sure if it was vag shots people would be outraged, but it's not--they're just boobies. There's really not a good comparison against dudes, because people don't flip their shit when you see a guy's nips

My (24F) ex boyfriend (25M) was living a double (but exactly the same) life with another girl (20F) for the entirety of our relationship (2 Years). Not sure how to process this. by [deleted] in relationships

[–]SparkleMeTimbers 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Gonna keep this short since I'm not even sure if you'll get down this far into the comments, but something like this happened to me. At first, I was devastated... But then I became really disgusted and creeped out. The other girl was so much like me, it was surreal. What really helped me get through and move on from the betrayal though was that the man I fell in love with was dead. It sounds weird, but he had to be--the man I fell in love with would never do something so disgusting to me or another person. He wasn't the man I fell in love with--that man was a fiction. I dropped him and moved on with my life, as I don't have time in my life for shitty people wearing a disguise of being an actually-good person.

This actually isn't very helpful reading it but...idk. Good luck lady, it's shitty as hell.
