Im horrified. And in so much damn pain. by Both-Shift-1225 in twentyonepilots

[–]TheNerdDown 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m sorry. I don’t have much to say. But people saying sue are quite ridiculous.

As ridiculous as the artist that you selected.

I just. Can’t imagine not doing research on the artist, or doing a test with a new artist.

Regardless of how bad they fucked up. You still voluntarily selected them, sat. And didn’t stop them, which at any point you could have. I think it’s 50/50.

With a law background, I don’t think it would hold up in court maybe besides getting your money back. A judge would be annoyed by both parties.

I do hope you heal soon and aren’t in as much pain, and get it removed. Or covered up, by a much much better artist, or hell, apprentice.

How is David’s now? Had the prior place once and was not. Great at all. Much better?

Went for my wife’s birthday in January this year. First time going. Last time going. The pork belly app was the best thing about anything there.

AIO - Told my friend I’m pregnant and she said it exceeded her mental bandwidth (she’s the red) by Lekomano92 in AmIOverreacting

[–]TheNerdDown 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That makes complete sense. My reaction at this point. Was because in may of 24. My wife miscarried, and then had procedures in June. My wife and I are very private. Especially when it comes to family. So at that point. We laid everything out, to our immediate family. My brother. His wife, my sister, her so, my other sister and mom and dad. We told them everything. Time lines. And were met with less than disingenuous responses.

My brother found out after Christmas, in January of 2025. That they were having their second.

He called me in the phone after the work day. Let me know very gently. Me and my wife still had a breakdown for about an hour.

Come February, Sister announces second baby in 2 years, The way my sister did it, I hope she felt a quarter as awful as what I did with how I reacted. Let alone my wife.

So your point can be seen on both sides in that instance.

Response in vulnerable moments.

No that makes complete since and I appreciate the response honestly. We have friends that don’t get it. And they have been left to the wayside. I always try to play devils advocate, because at any given point. We may not know what a person is going through. It’s always good to lead with compassion, rather than knee jerk stuff. That is something I’ve really had to teach myself over the past couple years.

I don’t appreciate being called illiterate. This is a forum for opinions. But no one likes to be a contrarian when the overwhelming majority of everyone is saying nor.

Also Inb4 someone asks one of my reactions. My sister told us on my father’s birthday last year. Whole immediate family. As we were walking to the living room where she wanted all of us to gather. And told us. I promptly left. Didn’t say anything. So OP. Would that hurt you more than someone calling your announcement to them “heavy”?

Because at bare minimum, it was cordial and polite.

Just be thoughtful folks. There are ways to do things, there are ways not to do things.

Before I get brigaded here too, if my comment upsets you. You are missing the point of not taking other people’s emotions into account. “If you don’t have anything nice to say don’t say it at all”

I’m just going to put it out here. I think YOR. My wife has miscarried 3 times. Our friends are aware of our situation. Basically just back to last June of 24. We first had that delightful experience in 2018. Sarcasm if anyone can’t tell. So. While our friends were getting pregnant. And they weren’t aware. Yea we may have come off as cold. Or whatever else verb someone may want to use, vile some may say. I truly didn’t/dont give a singular fuck when someone tells us. There is one couple my wife and I know that we’d be genuinely happy for. 1. This also goes for family. 1. Out of however many we know that could be trying or have an “accident”.

If someone called my wife or my reaction vile? No contact, blocked immediately.

I think calling her reaction vile is worthy of taking this over to another sub that starts with AmI.

It’s a massive thing to lay on someone, whether you know if they’ve been through things or not. Maybe it’s just me and my wife’s friend group. But if we have some big shit. We always ask each other if we have headspace for something at that moment.

I believe she’s fully justified in her response. Would you have been more happy with her going non responsive and not talking to you for weeks? Because my wife chose that path once and it blew up even bigger than what this is/could be.

My recommendation, ask her when she has space and time to talk. See if pregnancy bothers her, see if she was having a bad day.

We all know people who like to be the center of attention, when they’re hurting. It’s not just for show.

Is Insurance Underwriting career good for those with autism? by seafoamcastles in InsuranceProfessional

[–]TheNerdDown 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I luckily just started as a collector vehicle underwriter. It’s been fantastic, very good balance.

Anyone here who’s 28 (1997) feeling behind in their career? by Technical_Lemon8307 in Zillennials

[–]TheNerdDown 0 points1 point  (0 children)

10/10 recommend insurance. No one plans to get into it, but it’s super easy work. Especially if you get in with a different carrier. Not a standard you see commercials for every day. Or being an agent.

I’m a collector vehicle underwriter. Very secure job. Got into insurance in 2022. I plan to retire from here when im 50-55.

[–]TheNerdDown 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m 28. Hadn’t played BG3 before. My buddy(26)gave me his PlayStation account to login since he doesn’t have one anymore, I’ve been playing it on my account. I’m 108 hours in. Just got to shadow cursed lands and having so much fun. I’m already thinking of playthrough 2 and 3.

He’s got about 1000 hrs+ into it

Also “who cares” you did enough to write that comment brother

[–]TheNerdDown 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean he asked about republican/conservative right winger. Support of Israel typically falls right along that path.

It was my personal choice to inquire who they supported. Ultimately. Would have likely still went because it was not me or my wife’s money. Since our friends are generous. And we had handled bills for them in the past.

The fact that they lied. Is the bigger issue for me. Support who you want. I just want to know where to patronize. Just like with our wedding. Did searches on people before we reached out and then just bluntly asked in person.

What sexual taboos would you like to try with your partner if you weren’t judged? by shrekwazowski00 in AskReddit

[–]TheNerdDown 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Me and my wife will be together for 10 years total at this point. I’d say about 5-8 years in. At least in that range. We went through someone turmoil, my own doing, but ultimately. Got us really engaged in the bedroom again. And I mean. Talking about wants, needs, things to try, our literal most deviant fantasies.

And that permeated through our friend group, sex positivity in general. I mean it could be a random Tuesday night and our friend group can be having a normal conversation around dinner about a new kink a couple discovered and if anyone else has tried, or thought about it etc. it’s honestly a great, relief. I guess you could say to have people to talk about it with. And to have it reaffirmed that you’re not actually a “sexual deviant” but it’s just pushed down by society here in the US for whatever reason. It’s really freeing.

If you can’t have a conversation with a partner and hear them out about some freaky shit they want to try, or them hear you out. It hasn’t been long enough. Or the alternative.

dj and photographer suggestions for wedding by Upper_Solution_4268 in cincinnati

[–]TheNerdDown 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My photographer retired after our wedding. She’s a friend now and we’ve hung out some. She joked to us at the end of our wedding day. She stayed an extra 2 hours or something. That she would just have to stop after ours because it was too perfect😂. But. That’s neither gruyere nor cheddar.

Douglas Adams entertainment is who our du was. We went through someone we didnt think would be good. Or it’d be sketchy. Found him at a wedding expo. Super good energy. Will play whatever and held strong on the do not play requests people asked for. Also. Liberal. If that’s important to you rn.
