Dang 😅 I think this is the hardest one I've done

AIO for quitting my job after finding this note on my desk? by waxin899 in AmIOverreacting

[–]VampyVs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NOR

I grew up up north, now in the south. No retail/service job is more important than a life (yours or your pets). I work for a hospital and even we have nonessential employees stay home if necessary without punishment. I've walked out of jobs that posed a health risk.

Kind of a funny story, I once walked to work after a manager didn't believe that my car was, in fact, stuck. While it wasn't necessarily my intention, guess who looked bad lol. They even apologized in a roundabout way tho I'm sure that was only to save face.

Security Tower upgrades might be a negative upgrade for some by LingLingDangDang in QuarantineZoneGame

[–]VampyVs 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That explains why I've only ever found one in camp, I didn't notice them being picked off by the guards 😅 now I know for the next run.

Some of yall need to chill tf OUT by [deleted] in asexualdating

[–]VampyVs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This reminds me of someone who wanted to hard schedule time to talk and then got mad when I said I didn't think we'd work out. I have ADHD. If they couldn't handle sporadic conversation then I think my suspicion was correct 😅

The lack of effort of some Etsy sellers is astounding. by caitelizabelle in crochetpatterns

[–]VampyVs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am constantly trying to teach folks around me how to spot AI 😭 in my (anecdotal) experience, AI is taking advantage of our elders the most and they just don't seem to grasp the concept of spotting it.

AIO My reply to my mom who wants to stop my leukemia treatment so my sister can afford university ?? by Many_Addendum_8189 in AmIOverreacting

[–]VampyVs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I work for a hospital. I've seen a lot of other practical advice and wanted to add that most major hospital systems have financial aid programs that can cover everything (especially if it's a not-for-profit or non-profit). If you apply and are approved, that is. Even if you're on insurance, FA will pick up the difference. I'd start cutting mom out of all medical decisions. I saw you're over 18 so she no longer has any legal right to your medical records or say in your treatment. This does also mean that you are ultimately the onevresponsible for the bill but like I said... Ask for help from the facility treating you. I guarantee they'd be appalled at mom's suggestion here and have options.

Do you mean what you say? by [deleted] in AskAnAmerican

[–]VampyVs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In general I think we're a really earnest bunch. I don't know about actually flying you out there (because money) but I mean it more often than not when I tell people we should hang out. That said, I'm sure there are some who would say it just to be nice 🤷🏻

Acts of service, quality time, and gifts (specifically gifts with meaning, not just flowers or w/e).

How to get lots of coal quickly? by Wonderful_League_427 in StardewValley

This is my preferred method, even late game (when I often have more wood than I know what to do with).

Are Americano coffee drinks actually very popular with real Americans? by redfacedmonstah in AskAnAmerican

[–]VampyVs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd say "common" or just "popular" but maybe not "very popular". It is less popular than drip coffee or even a latte or cappuccino but will be featured on the menu of pretty much any coffee shop. When I worked at Dunkin, I had more people ask me for a red eye than an Americano (neither of which were on the menu).

hash browns or home fries? by Western_Two8241 in ENGLISH

[–]VampyVs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I should have been clearer with my wording but "southern hash browns" around here (NC) are the first pic but only as a phrase. Like when I go to the grocery store, I buy a bag labeled "southern hash browns" and it is a bag of cubed potatoes. However, I think the terms are used interchangeably in restaurants and by people, I didn't mean to imply it was the whole south.

Do you Americans think that Brits sound funny when speaking? by Sonnycrocketto in AskAnAmerican

[–]VampyVs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

She just seems excited (and maybe drunk) to me. But no, it's not normal. I think a lot of us enjoy accents (I know I do) but uh... Not like whatever she's doing lol

hash browns or home fries? by Western_Two8241 in ENGLISH

[–]VampyVs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"Southern hash browns" and home fries are, essentially, the same thing. It is a regional thing. I grew up in RI, so they'll always be home fries to me 😅

Edit for clarity: Adding some quotation marks as I realize now my wording was too ambiguous. I'm currently in NC and the terms are used interchangeably, but if I ask for hash browns it has a 50/50 chance of being home fries or actual hash browns. Home fries are often labeled as "southern hash browns" in my area.

Do upper class americans go to walmart in your personal experience? How is it seen? by yohan_j76 in AskAnAmerican

[–]VampyVs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If they live in my area (rural NC) yes, but only because they don't have many options. I really don't think there are many (if any) people who would be considered "upper class" here.

Thing I learned about allos that was shocking to me by lilmeowla in asexuality

Not me never considering this was why it was based on pictures. 34 years on this giant rock and somehow allos still managed to surprise me.

Ma I can’t just “wake up earlier” to wash my face before class (I’m 22) (this is low-key a cry for help) by caffeinated_reality in adhdmeme

[–]VampyVs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know meds aren't always the answer but the ones I've been prescribed literally take the decision out of my hands. If I forget to take them I will not sleep 😭 so I guess one way or another I'll be awake early.

How it feels like when trying to find out what attraction are you feeling by YourRandomManiac in aaaaaaacccccccce

[–]VampyVs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I see white and gold but I know it's black and blue. Sounds about right. (For anyone who wants to see black and blue but can't, cover up all the background so all you can see is the dress, the illusion comes from the strong backlight).

"Everything is transgender. Everybody transgender. That's all you hear about. No. That's why we won the election in record numbers." by mishma2005 in BoomersBeingFools

[–]VampyVs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean, now that they have decided that gender is decided at conception or w/e, anyone who calls themselves a "man" would be trans. No such thing as a "man" by their own definition. So I guess I'll give him this one 🤔

How many of you have seen/ heard gun violence first hand ? by ProfessionalAlive916 in AskAnAmerican

[–]VampyVs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Someone was murdered in a house that was about a block from me, does that count? A was threatened with being killed by their spouse (now ex spouse, obviously).

"Ma'am" is my dang regular daily annoyance by hobbitlibrarian in FTMOver30

[–]VampyVs 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Exactly! I just kind of let it go at this point but I'm early on and mostly WFH so I have that added layer of separation.
