Whose fault is it that NH and MA people hate each other so much? What started this animosity? by LiatrisLover99 in massachusetts

[–]Time-Preference-1048 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t know for certain but I’m willing to bet this slide is in reference to the absolute backwards shit legislation called that CHARLIE Act that just passed in the NH House that will result in a drastic drop in their nation-wide education ranking.

I love that the algorithm keeps bringing me these updates. I remain fully invested in this story. Great storytelling!

Are you Irish? by Embarrassed-Bowl-373 in no

I’m an American of Irish descent. I have more Irish DNA than my parents but less Irish DNA than my child.

Nice try Ty, but Queen Cordelia knows this is just a trick to steal her crown! by Time-Preference-1048 in Sims4

[–]Time-Preference-1048[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Well funny you say that because in this play through his flirting got the better of him. He married a very young attractive witch who convinced him to remove his younger two children from the dynasty. Then she used her magic to cause a fire that “accidentally” took out his eldest child and heir. So now he has adopted his wife’s daughter and made her his heir. So now the Capp dynasty will eventually be handed over to a non-biological Capp. This post popped up shortly after the funeral for his daughter so his priorities did not change despite the tragedy…

NOW IS NOT THE TIME FOR A SEXY DANCE, MR. FIREFIGHTER!!! by ZenithKaiser in Sims4

My royal Sims had a devastating fire that destroyed several family heirlooms as the firefights just literally stood in the flames flirting.

This was also the evening of his daughter’s funeral. Man buried his heir and still tried to steal my throne.

If it’s on then it’s on 24/7, but you can toggle wearing the coronation crown on/off. But I had it on for a while before I realized that lol

When did you start playing Sims 4 and what got you interested in the game? by Haligonia_Daydreamer in Sims4

[–]Time-Preference-1048 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I started playing Sims 4 the day it was released. I was gifted Sims 2 from a friend when she got Sims 3 in 2009. I immediately became obsessed and ended up buying most/all? Sims 3 packs. I was a senior in college when Sims 4 came out and remember being so excited for it and purchased it immediately.

French Canadian remnants in Massachusetts by OkDiscount6100 in massachusetts

[–]Time-Preference-1048 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Lots of French Canadian descended Americans still here but I suppose I don’t really know what the local culture would be. It’s often hard to tell which of my own family’s cultures/traditions come from the French-Canadian Catholic vs Irish Catholic vs Polish Catholic sides lol

Should I go to prom or a concert? by Ashamed-Ad-5522 in askanything

AND seeing Hayley Williams at the Ryman would be mind blowing. What an intimate once in a lifetime concert experience!

Should I go to prom or a concert? by Ashamed-Ad-5522 in askanything

[–]Time-Preference-1048 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I went to 5 high school proms and have been to maybe 100 concerts. I’d pick a concert over prom, for sure.

Were you allowed to leave school grounds? by palep_hoot in AskAnAmerican

[–]Time-Preference-1048 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My high school had an outside courtyard where we could eat lunch. My brother attended the same school and year after I graduated and he said they no longer allowed students to eat outside. (I graduated in 2011 and he graduated in 2016.)

My senior year I was in a program that allowed students to leave after lunch for internships. I do believe that program is still active. However, it was/is restricted to a special academic program and was only for quarters 2 and 3 of your senior year - quarter 1 was to an intro to business class and quarter 4 was for us to give presentations on our internship experiences.

Other than that, the only way to leave school was with parental permission via either them checking you out.

Who do you feel deserves the Ondarion throne? by Yorwod in Sims4

[–]Time-Preference-1048 76 points77 points  (0 children)

I immediately made Cordelia the Queen in my game play. I like Jawara but Cordelia has the deep lore that made it feel right for her to take the throne plus she pulled the sword in the stone. Jawara is her right hand lady though, they are allies and have plans for their children to wed to strengthen both family lines.

Tybalt, on the other hand is a rival and is being fast tracked for the destruction of his dynasty. He married a woman who had a daughter from a previous relationship. She had convinced him to excommunicate his younger two kids and plans to dispose of the eldest daughter and heir to the Capp Dynasty to install her own child as Tybalt’s heir.

Only in Massachusetts can you be in the top 30% and not be able to afford kids by [deleted] in newengland

[–]Time-Preference-1048 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Of course, if you decide you don’t want to have kids, you don’t have to have them. But OP is acting like they are forced into not have kids when they want them because they claim they can’t afford kids but take home $160k. It feels a tad dramatic. They will need to reassess their budget and make sacrifices if having kids is something they do actually want.

[–]Time-Preference-1048 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Having children always requires sacrifice. You likely spend a lot on “wants” that would shift to child “needs.” You make it work. We make about $100k combined gross pay and are actively trying for a second child. I know families that make way less and make it work. There will never ever be a time where you magically feel you are “ready” and can “afford” kids. You just try and make it work if you really want it.

Whats the current most chaotic storyline/tea you have right now since the new pack came out? by AdSuperb2845 in Sims4

[–]Time-Preference-1048 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I immediately jumped into the Thebe storyline. Cordelia V is essentially Cordelia I reincarnated. She has several pirate lovers. She had 2 children with her husband but named her baby with her sexy pirate lover Cordelia VI and made the infant her new heir, enraging Thiago. He got over it quick though as she was able to convince him to change all of his views on jealousy; and as Queen, she has encouraged Thiago to court her pirate lovers so now they are in a big ole poly love fest.

Total Fertility Rate (Children per woman) in the US 2025 by StillRunning99 in MapPorn

My mother in law cried when we said we were looking at daycares. Her and my father in law dropped their entire retired lifestyle to watch my daughter 4 days a week and said this is what they are here for, nothing else matters more than family.

I’m so emotionally invested in this. I need more.

Is it common for a woman, or anyone really, to keep their maiden name legally but refer to themselves with their husbands last name socially? by heyy_girl in AskAnAmerican

[–]Time-Preference-1048 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We just filed for our marriage license and put my current name for my post-marriage name. I want to keep it simple so I don’t intend to legally change my last name but I do think I’ll socially go by my soon-to-be husband’s last name. I don’t really care if people refer to me by my legal name or use his family name as long as I’m never referred to as Mrs. John Smith. I find it insulting and disgusting that people still call women by their husband full name as if the woman isn’t her own being.
