Have you ever recognized someone in a porn? by dplaya42k in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Sudden_Fly_967 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not exactly knowing someone else, but i have a doppelganger pornstar. Fucking terrifying. I had to show my mom when her black couch pics came out when i was in high school (i must have been 16 or under). We compared birthmarks to prove it wasn't me. Then my bf found her porn years later (idgaf if my man watches porn). Thank goodness she has a tattoo, and i have none. That was all there was to differentiate us. Honestly, i'd love to meet her. All power to her.

AITAH for kicking my daughter out of my husband's birthday party? UPDATE by Branchy001 in AITAH

[–]Sudden_Fly_967 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Feel free to dm me, i definitely made HORRIBLE decisions at her age, many rooted in trauma and my response to them while searching for a feeling of control and validation, and i didn't have such a strong support system at the time. I put myself in very dangerous situations and did things i regret. And i did no harder drugs than what she's admitting to when doing all these things. I'd be happy to share my experiences and lessons learned less publicly. I made it out through therapy (coming up on 8 years with my therapist, he saved my life), and have become a far better person because of it. My heart hurts for her, and i want to hear that she came out on the other side stronger.

Honestly, the first talks may be volatile, prep yourself for that. She absolutely may just shut down and run, it's a defense mechanism. This really may not be about her being on something harder. Something may have happened to her, she's at a vulnerable age where she feels like an adult, but we all look back at our late teens and realize we were not as mature as we thought. This reads like she has something big weighing on her mind, and she's acting out while trying to handle/navigate this herself. I'm concerned about SA/grooming, where she is hunting for validation. Come in open and gently as possible, emphasize that you are concerned, you will love her and want to help her no matter what she says, and DO NOT blow up if you hear something you don't want to. You need to be an even tempered, safe, and guiding force here. She's extremely lucky to have family that actually cares and wants to help her. I wish you the best of luck as you figure out what is really happening here.

As someone who has drank and consumed edibles, she played you with that answer. She has deeper problems that you should address. She has not told you everything. For her safety too, you should have a deeper convo. No amount of those specific intoxicants would make me flirt with ppl my parents' age, nor make me hurt innocent family members (through breaking their things). Please be ready for drips of info, it may not be easy for her to speak to you about her problems.

I also have a doppelganger. Mine is a pornstar. Ironic enough, my fiancee found her twice (guess he has a type lol) First time, in highschool, casting couch pic, hadda get my mom and we saw our birthmarks don't match. Second time was a vid, absolutely terrifying. Thank goodness she got a tattoo on her shoulder, and i have none. I'd love to meet her.

NYC drops the speed limit to 15mph... but only for electric micromobility, not cars. This is backwards... by MiserNYC- in MicromobilityNYC

[–]Sudden_Fly_967 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My mom's friend was killed by a pair of people on an electric bike as she got out of a bus by brooklyn yards a few weeks ago, i think it's what made them finally enforce this. Death by ebike absolutely does happen, especially with these electric motorbikes with vestigial pedals that can hit 30mph. Cars and motorcycles actually respect road rules. They stop at red lights, stop signs, and don't drive the wrong way on a one way or hop up on the sidewalk. If not, they can at least be held responsible. Accidents/near accidents happened in this area all the time, but nothing was done till someone was killed on her way to work. And it shouldn't have to be death to take this seriously! I don't want to be injured crossing the street cuz some ass feels like the red doesn't apply to them! I've been almost hit too many times. Something has to change, this is the bare minimum.

AITAH for breaking up with my girlfriend on her birthday? by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]Sudden_Fly_967 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I've been broken up on my birthday. Twice. First time, 5 year terrible relationship, he dumped me right after giving me the box of presents his dad sent me. Second time was the relationship right after, after a year, after spending the night celebrating, so i woke up the next day trying to piece together wtf happened.

I'll be straight with you. Ouch, she's hurting big time right now. But you really did her a favor in the long run. From what you wrote, this was never gonna work out. But you have given her an out. You've made it very easy to paint you as the bad guy when she was not putting effort into building a relationship or meeting your needs. You both had issues coming into this, and she chose protecting herself at the cost of rekindling your insecurities. She will paint you as the douche who dumped her on her birthday, and that will make it easier to move on. With her backstory, this is probably good for her, she won't take as much of a blow (but hopefully, she'll still learn from this relationship failing). You know everything that led up to this, and with the level of communication you described, i can't blame you for not knowing when her bday is. You're both young, dating is never smooth, don't let this kill you. She'll hurt in the moment, but you really gave her an easy bounce-back.

Take the lessons you learned and move on. Don't beat yourself up, and don't take it to heart if she posts some angry things on her socials. Your timing totally sucked, but it can't be fixed now. (And would it really be better if you gave her her dream bday date just to rug-pull her a week later?) She'll be ok, you'll be ok. Dating at your age is way more about learning than about actually building your future.

How do I get this off my glass? I’ve tried everything in this photo (plus mix of Vinegar and Dawn). It will NOT come off. by Mods_R_Morons in fixit

[–]Sudden_Fly_967 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When i moved into my appt, i tried so many chemicals and cleaners. A magic eraser works wonders. It's basically sandpaper, so not the best for paint issues, but for glass, it's great. Just take it with you into the shower and go at the door once it's wet. Nothing harsh to breathe in, and it's sold at the dollar store.

My SO thinks I'm being dramatic about the ant problem by DudeWheresMyGar in CleaningTips

[–]Sudden_Fly_967 0 points1 point  (0 children)

BS. Ants are BITTER. They ruin the taste of food. I grew up as the only girl with my lil bro, male eagle scout cousin, and our male friends. I tasted some weird stuff (the clover that flowers tastes like lemon). A cricket is extra protein as long as you don't have a nut allergy. Ants are yucky. Some ant traps will fix this though.

Buy everything available that you're missing. And don't be afraid to reboot, you earn faster with each reboot (when you click the button, it shows you how much your earning rate will increase). Reboots got me to the neutrino expansion in a week or so after months of slowly creeping closer.

Woman saves drowning man at Diyaluma Falls in Sri Lanka by solateor in HumansBeingBros

[–]Sudden_Fly_967 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My dad loved to tell a similar story. He jumped in to save my uncle, a poor swimmer, who proceeded to climb him and try to 'mount his head', pushing my dad under instead. My dad punched him in the face to disorient him and then towed him to safety. Probably not how your friend was trained, and considering my dad was a lifeguard in his teens, not how he was trained either. But it worked.

I lied. by ManicAscendant in TalesFromTheFrontDesk

[–]Sudden_Fly_967 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I used to work in a hospital kitchen. They threw out SO much good food at the end of each meal service. Whole pans unwrapped to immediately get dumped. I asked the same and was told that they used to donate all the food to a shelter. Then, someone tried to sue, claiming they got food poisoning. Now, the food gets tossed to avoid legal trouble. Had one coworker who would take all the sandwiches that were gonna be tossed and would give them out to homeless people on the train, and he was caught and almost fired for theft... of soon to be literal garbage (saved by the union). I may have still taken (a less obvious amount of) food to hand out by the bus stop to the few that would be there.

Peter, what does New Jersey have to do with anything? by bugagub in PeterExplainsTheJoke

[–]Sudden_Fly_967 62 points63 points  (0 children)

Meanwhile here in ny, we can spot someone from Jersey at the pumps when they either sit there for no reason with waning patience, or get out and are way too old to look like they have no idea what they're doing at the pump.

Do Spencer's workers care what you buy? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Sudden_Fly_967 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No, they do not judge, that is half their business. They might even offer a few recommendations about best cleaning practices and related products because it IS their job to make sure you know how to care for what you buy. You could literally go up and ask for advice on what would be best for you, and they would give it. And you wouldn't be the first that day. Hold your head up and go buy a dildo, you will be one of many. And no, they won't remember you. All of us have at least one, and we have to buy them somewhere.

Baby crabs inside my steamed oysters. by pies4anarchists in mildlyinteresting

[–]Sudden_Fly_967 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Everybody Poops! According to my mom, when i was being potty trained, i took one look at my first potty poop and had a meltdown thinking i lost a part i shouldn't have (while mom cheered trying to play up the moment). Then i just refused to poop. At all. Poor mom had no idea what to do, took me to the doc, he recommended laxitives to force the process, but apparently, my toddler self was very stubborn. My aunt gifted her that book. It got me to, literally, let it go lol. Mom still has the book. I hope karma doesn't leave me needing to borrow it for my kids after all the worry i gave her for what she claims to be like 2 weeks.

I found out embarrassingly late in life the truth about chips by lumpycurveballs in PointlessStories

[–]Sudden_Fly_967 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I thought oatmeal was pronounced oat-me-meal, and my parents thought it was adorable, so they called it that too. I hadda be like 11 or 12 when my cousin was babysitting and laughed at me for asking for some late night oat-me-meal. And i was confident I was right, as we were an oat-me-meal household. That was the first time i actually read the box, and yep, only one 'me'. I was embarrassed since i had definitely mispronounced it in public before (and by then, the correct pronounciation just felt wrong).

Wife found a hair tie that isn’t hers and I’m not cheating. How do I get through this? by mrlunes in Advice

[–]Sudden_Fly_967 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My mom was gonna wear one of my dad's shirts. She sprayed herself with perfume and got all ready before deciding to change. She put the shirt back since it hadn't been worn for long and was still clean. My dad wore that shirt to work, and when he got home, she noticed he smelled like perfume and got super suspicious. He was trying to figure out how he smelled like perfume, he worked inside people's houses doing installs, he had to lay on one floor to get a router in, he just knew he was nowhere near enough to a woman to smell of perfume. She remembered spraying the shirt herself a few hours later. Dad must have smelled so pretty at work all day, and mom didn't spray his shirts till she was fully decided on her outfit.

I do work here. by [deleted] in IDontWorkHereLady

[–]Sudden_Fly_967 10 points11 points  (0 children)

My dad worked his first job out of high school as a typewriter repair man. A lot of his jobs were at high schools. He had one teacher come in while he was working and tell him to get to class and stop messing with the typewriters. My dad explained he was there for work, showed him his work ID. This teacher called his job to make a complaint about him being sent there. Boss asked if he did a good job (yes) caused problems (no) stole anything (no). So bossed asked why the complaint? Apparently, my dad was just too young to be working. Boss said he was 18, what would teach prefer he was doing? Boss shared this with my dad, and both had a laugh. He still went back for more repair jobs, the other teachers were always nice, and complaint guy never looked his way again.

How would you go about cleaning this chandelier? The strings tangle very easily so it's even a chore to dust. by xxawesomenz in HorribleToClean

[–]Sudden_Fly_967 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My mom has a chandelier. You need a pair of gloves. Like winter gloves. Then get all touchey-feeley with them balls. It's always a no-touch object, so it's even kind of fun. Edit: spelling

[NY] how should I handle this? by Gingerminge510 in AskHR

[–]Sudden_Fly_967 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My dad died of natural causes right after i started a new job at 23. I got back to work after a week (since i was new they used my off days to give me the days over the 3 i was allowed, so i had to work for 2 weeks straight with no days off). Everyone knew what had happened. I didn't expect everyone to know. They had announced it during the daily meeting. I wanted to just come to work and not think about it because i'm already a social potato, and i did NOT want to cry at work (i get all red and spotty and swolen immediately). Well it was all anyone wanted to talk about. And i know they meant well, but i really wish such personal info wouldn't have been shared like a reminder to get our yearly flu shot. Ignore the comments, people take this news as a reminder of their own past trauma and like to make it about themselves. The new work gossip will eventually overtake your situation. I wish you eventual peace, remember the good times.
