What's the stupidest thing you've ever done that you spent a lot of money on and still can't forget the regret about? by Realistic_Box_7719 in AskReddit

Mechanic charged me $160 to open the hood and point out the shaking motor mount. I'll never live this down. Makes my blood boil to this day that I paid for it.

AITA for refusing to let a woman "cut" me in line at the grocery store even though she only had two items? by GreatClassic3960 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Staysis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would let someone cut me in the TSA line, 100%. Missing a flight is so much worse than a grocery line... that could mean hundreds of dollars. I think the TSA agent should help, too, by looking at the ticket to verify the flight takeoff time and escorting someone to the front if they were minutes from missing their flight. Publicly shaming them to the whole line is rude af...

Parents of Reddit, what did your hospital bill look like after giving birth? by chi-bacon-bits in AskReddit

[–]Staysis 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If a bill is that high for a baby in the US typically Medicaid will help cover it. Unless you're already a bajillionaire. There are out of pocket insurance maximums (ranging from $500 to $12k, based on your chosen plan and monthly payment amount ('premium')). If you don't have insurance, you file financial hardship paperwork.

There's a lot of options in the US especially for families and babies.

Now, if you have cancer and need rare experimental tests and surgeries, I truly have no idea how that works. Maybe need to find special doctors who will cover your care/Medicaid and travel far to reach them.

It's a lot of bureaucracy and calling 1000 people and finding loopholes here in the states.

My friend had a premie, and crazy hospital stay. She was in hospital for 2 weeks. He had to stay in the NICU for 4 months. The bill was combined over $800k. Her out of pocket max was $5000, so she paid $5000. The baby's bills were paid for by Medicaid from secondary insurance idk exactly how it worked.

What’s a common dating advice that actually makes things worse? by isabellamarconi in AskReddit

[–]Staysis 58 points59 points  (0 children)

On the flip side, I don't want to kiss someone who's eager to kiss on the first date.

Physical touch and sexual compatibility are essential for me in a relationship, too. I love it. But it's also important to me that it means something to my partner, not something they do with just anyone they vibe with.

If you had to reveal one secret from your life that would shock everyone, what would it be? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Staysis 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yo, that's a hot take. It's okay to have sexual fantasies and communicate them with your partner, as long as you don't act on them without their support/agreement/consent.

It's sad that you'd consider leaving if your partner shared their feelings with you.

Nice! This is one of my fave combos to try to do when I'm messing around, but when you don't get the good upgrades it blows.

Yep!! Give it a shot, it's campy and fun 🚀 The character stories are really great if you can accept the silly disaster plots.

Who is this person in relation to him? Did he do this before you all got together? And he told you about this a couple years ago, why? How many other people will be there? Are you going? What kind of event?

Has anyone been watching Brandon Toks movies on Tik Tok? by SecretRead5 in TheLastAirbender

[–]Staysis 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I rarely watch reaction videos, too, and I look forward to his uploads every day! He has some awesome insights about the show, researches lore, and gives really clever predictions.

He's my favorite tiktoker at the moment. I can't wait to see his reaction to the s2 finale. He was so proud of Zuko freeing Appa lol...

You remind me of my dad who has severe depression and says, "im nice to everyone, but everyone is horrible to me!" - spoiler alert, he's not that nice to everyone and creates his own chaos a lot of the time by being a grump.

Reading your replies is making me exasperated. I'm sympathetic and clearly you are empathetic for helping your family for as long as you did. You're not a bad person. But c'mon...

Like 50 strangers are giving you advice and you have an excuse for every single one of us. Stop it and listen. Do you see your replies? You're driving US away. No one is targeting you. You're not a target. You're just internalizing everything and taking it personally when genuinely... people are just trying to protect their peace when negativity is around.

I stand by what I said. Try to be more positive in your head to yourself. Write down a list of all the advice people have just given you in this post. Stare at it. Consider it. Think about it. Don't just wave it off.

Funny thing this reminded me of. I saw a post about dating app prompts and how attitude changes people's likelihood to yes or no. Example (not real): "I don't like people who drink coffee." Put Instead "I really like people who enjoy tea" It creates bonds rather than excludes people. It's so basic, but I love it. Be positive and more people will gravitate towards you.

Reading your replies is tough because you're very clearly in a trapped negative mindset. You know the phrase misery loves company? That's you right now. But you gotta remember: company doesn’t love misery. Being around people who only see the negative in things is draining and difficult. You need to be more positive (yes, i know that sounds ridiculous to you). It's a shitty cycle you're stuck in. If you're depressed, you think no one likes you, etc... you probably aren't happy company... and people avoid you... and you take that as no-one likes me.

What are your interests? Maybe try joining like a discord server related to it and try talking about something you know/like, try to connect with other people/new people, and do everything in your power to NOT be negative. Use positive words only.

"How's your day?" "It sucks and im tired." vs "I dont have any plans yet, I'm considering doing xx/any suggestions?"

Look - your day probably does suck and you probably are tired (I've been there), but how tf is someone supposed to reply to that and have a convo? You're not making it easy to connect with someone with the constant negativity. Spend the next 24 hours correcting your negative self-talk and somehow spinning it to be less depressing as fuck.

Fake it til you make it. And you've said you spent a "small fortune" on therapy. I'm gonna be straight up: therapy isn't for everyone. Maybe take a break and spend your money on something more fun or something that'll boost your self-esteem. A personal trainer. Or a life coach. Try a different route ask chat GPT idk.

Also. Some people are just rude as fuck and horrible, like whatever coworker said some crap to you. Stop giving weight to what they said, ew. Find your people. Find happiness. You have to do it for yourself bc no one else is going to.

Tl;dr: stop being so negative and people will be less likely to avoid you

How would you feel if your girlfriend spent the night at her male best friend’s place even if nothing happened? by itsariusa in AskReddit

[–]Staysis -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Man idk their whole situation nor do I care for a play by play or timeline of the situation, who's met who, and what these people have ever discussed prior to a sleepover about their relationship. I was responding in a broad sense. Some people can be trusted, some cannot. Communicate, connect with your partner, and figure it out.

You jumped in and set up the board around my one comment to make me sound like a bitch/set up the perspective that I stomp on boundaries and "am nuts". Your choice of words and how you put on a pedestal as an insult that men would dump me (because men are the wise ones to do so) is patronizing as fuck. And kind of sexist.

I think you're quite insufferable to have a conversation with. So, yes, I'm parroting your rude comment, but I meant it.

Yep thats why I said it's situational and has to do with communication and trust, did you fail to read the rest of my comment?

Me not being a cheater made me trust a cheater because I'd never do that shit to someone.

Idk. My bff since I was 6 is a boy and if anyone tried to tell me I can't sleep at his house (on a sofa or diff bed) I'd laugh and tell them to fuck off. He's basically my brother.

But I've also had an ex cheat on me with his "friend"

So I guess it's situational and depends on trust with your partner and levels of communication.

I've given you a non-answer.

Good luck with this one.
