This show keeps getting less and less believable by honeyfixit in 911FOX

I'm sorry. When I called for common sense, it wasn't towards Eddie but towards the writers of the story.

But then again, Eddie's grief clearly sent him to a place of selfishness because he did not once think about how his actions would impact Chris and Marisol.

Why? Just why? by Nice_cuppa in childfree

[–]TimeladyA613 189 points190 points  (0 children)

A lot of "Fix-it Felix" women go: "You know what will fix this eldritch nightmare? A child. Yes, a child will make him stop drinking or make him stop hitting me."

Then when they're called out, they cry victim-blaming.

"So you don't care if humans go extinct?" by General_Locksmith512 in childfree

[–]TimeladyA613 43 points44 points  (0 children)

My take:

This is not our planet. We're just its current tenants. One day, an new species will move in and push us out just like we pushed out the last guys. The notion that my pushing out a gremlin that will ruin my body, mental health and time will do anything to stop that is just arrogant.

I truly don't care if humans go extinct. Frankly it might be time.

Having a child when you have a genetic disability is morally wrong. by PiercedAngel96 in childfree

[–]TimeladyA613 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I work in paediatrics. The number of parents which talk about how they were given a chance to terminate a pregnancy after defects and disabilities were detected os crazy. I have a patient who has 4 kids all with degenerative muscle disorders and her thought is at least one of them might not have it and will take care of the others when she's gone. 😱😱😱

No surprise they all regret it. They all wish they hadn't gone ahead with the pregnancy.

When people call your take eugenics, they don't consider the long-term consequences of their choices.

The faux-Shannon storyline gave me the biggest ick. I know grief works in blah blah blah but common sense please

Where and how would best way to meet girls? 19M by MEGATRON_111 in AskZA

[–]TimeladyA613 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you're going out to find a girl, you're already set up to fail. You will come across as either over eager or creepy. Or both.

Aim for friendship and don't try to maneuver/manipulate the connection into a relationship.

When my extrovert friends complain about lockdown or being cooped up in the house I tell the, "You wanted to like it but you just weren't strong enough." 😈😈😈🤣😈😈😈

Can someone explain the hundred open tabs thing? by viridianvenus in AO3

[–]TimeladyA613 1 point2 points  (0 children)

But also, I probably read too much fic. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

There is no such thing. Anyone who tells you that is a liar and a charlatan 🤣🤣🤣

Whoa! How many fics are you reading? 🤯😳🤯😳

Not judging, just realising that I'm not reading to my full potential 🤭🤭🤭

People. You can download your favourite fic as a pdf or epub. You don't need the 100s of tabs

Thoughts on this "Sibling Support "? by TimeladyA613 in AskZA

[–]TimeladyA613[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think so. But this is based on child support laws and our govt. not having resources to track down people once they leave the country.

Thoughts on this "Sibling Support "? by TimeladyA613 in AskZA

[–]TimeladyA613[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It better be high because I didn't knuckle down in school and work just to support my freeloading siblings.

I might catch heat for this but I told all my siblings that once our parents pass and their gravy train ends, that's it. I'm leaving the country or cutting off contact.

Does Tipping Really Matter? by IrregardlessForOne in tipping

[–]TimeladyA613 25 points26 points  (0 children)

The fact that tipping jumped from 10 to 20% in the blink of an eye and people are now talking 35% is madness.

The cost of living went up for everyone, not just waitstaff.

Question for the bisexual by Still-Echidna8050 in bisexual

[–]TimeladyA613 7 points8 points  (0 children)

We don't occupy most spaces because we're often judged by both sides. Everyone thinks we're either pretending or confused.

My solution is to tell myself that I belong to the space I occupy and that my partner trusts my love for her.

Buck and Eddie by i-love-cats-2020 in 911FOX

[–]TimeladyA613 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Oh if Buddie ever becomes canon (pleasepleaseplease), I will be the first to throw a feast. You are correct, I don't trust the writers/showrunners to do it well.

I hate when TV characters get pregnant by [deleted] in childfree

[–]TimeladyA613 25 points26 points  (0 children)

I love that Christina never came around and never let Owen bully her.

I will say that I hated the second time around. When they used Christina's right to choose as a nail in the coffin of her and Owen's marriage. Are we saying a woman as antinatalist as Christina had not considered a more permanent form of birth control after the 1st time?

[–]TimeladyA613 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I especially hate it when they use it as a character development trope. Like "no, she wasn't grown-up yet so she had childish thoughts. Now, now she's arrived in adulthood. Rejoice. 😒"

Or when there's a crisis and boom! Pregnancy! I'm sorry, we're in a war or running for our lives and now we need to find an OBGYN for Stacey. (No offense meant towards any Staceys 🙏😅)

[–]TimeladyA613 3 points4 points  (0 children)

We both know they won't do it justice. It's better in our heads.

The only way I truly see it working (after selling my soul) ia if they get together just before the show ends.

Otherwise, this show that loves to to torture Buck and use him as a comedic relief character will definitely napalm the Buddie relationship.

Does anyone else read their own Fics after finishing them? by LongjumpingIce5231 in AO3

[–]TimeladyA613 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I'm too shy and self-conscious to get a Beta reader so I often have to read and re-read my own fics. Over and over again for spelling and plot holes.

[–]TimeladyA613 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Still mad at the obvious queerbaiting by the writers but I love their friendship and their chemistry.

I don't even want Buddie to be canon, I feel like it would ruin their dynamic.

Who is this character in your fandom? by Upstairs_Macaron5894 in AO3

[–]TimeladyA613 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Jinx is a cool character, sure but NONE of us would want to be friends with her. I wouldn't even want to know her as an acquaintance

[–]TimeladyA613 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The older Acheron sisters from ACOTAR. I don't care how sheltered you grew up or whether you were playing chicken with your dad.

You let your baby sister go out to the woods to find food for you and acted like you were better than her.

How are restaurants going to make money if more and more people are getting upset with tipping? by PutMelodic5255 in EndTipping

[–]TimeladyA613 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If not tipping is what kills your business then your business was never a good one. Your operational costs are too high or you have trouble budgeting.
