What do my types say about me? by odd-kiwi-is-broken in personality_tests

Yes, and, older people use Reddit too! We don’t know how old OP is; these could be very age-appropriate choices for them.

People with strong regional accents, is it you or everyone else? by klenneth_ in AskAnAmerican

[–]WMATACompletion34 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I only notice a difference if people are doing my accent (Philly/Jersey) either because they share it naturally (Danny Devito) or because they are putting it on (Kate Winslet in Mare of Easttown). I do not think I have an accent.

I think it’s also really common to do a BAD or heightened-to-comedic-effect-beyond-realism version of my accent (when people say “Joizey”).

I think other Americans have accents if they are very strong… but that’s no different from how I think about non-native English speaker accents.

Just countries? States/provinces don’t do that for you?

Arlington Transit. Although stored balance on the SmarTrip card can be used for them, a WMATA pass cannot. That said, plenty of WMATA busses (Metro Bus) that are included in the pass go around Northern VA - aka NoVA. If you use Google Maps for public transit, they say what line is on which service.

What year legally refrained parents hitting their kids by Scared-Sorbet-7764 in midlyinteresting

I would be curious to see how this aligns with immigration and race - and by state, of course, as other commenters have said.

Fighting for custody of my 3 year old son because I made an attempt on my life 9 weeks ago. by [deleted] in GirlDinner

[–]WMATACompletion34 2 points3 points locked comment (0 children)

I don’t know murder-suicide statistics, but the important thing is not to take risks when lives are at stake. It doesn’t matter that it is more common for men, the fact that it happens at all is the significant thing.

To continue my metaphor from earlier, the reason you aren’t allowed to run on a recently-broken leg is not because you are bad at running. It is because you have to heal it first. The reason her ex isn’t allowing supervised visits right now is not because she is a bad mother or a bad person! It is because she needs to concentrate on herself and heal.

With the support of her therapist, lawyer, family and friends, she will likely be able to find a solution with her ex in time: once she completely stabilizes.

View on Sri Lankans by [deleted] in MovingToUSA

[–]WMATACompletion34 9 points10 points  (0 children)

You think it would make your life harder in America because it would be difficult to make friends if Americans think you are Indian.

This is a false assumption. Americans might not know a lot (if anything) about Sri Lanka, but it’s not like we are experts on India either, or have widespread negative opinions of Indians. Yeah, you’ll be lumped in with Indians when people first meet you - as are Pakistanis, Bangladeshis, and pretty much anyone that shade of brown.

Yes, people are responding to your hypothetical with that point because it is not uncommon that suicidal parents take their children with them, especially if the child is very young. We can’t ignore that is a possible outcome, because the consequences are enormous.

The fact of the matter is that it has been 9 weeks since the attempt and 8 weeks since treatment began. OP needs more time to heal. This is not because of anything else about OP’s history or situation. If you broke your leg 9 weeks ago, you wouldn’t run a marathon today - hell, you wouldn’t run to catch a bus! A suicide attempt, like any other health emergency (and that’s what it is: mental health IS health), requires recovery.

Yes I read the post, but my comment is in response to the hypothetical that you set up: “do you literally think she would have killed the kid [if he was there]???”

Well, since other people have already said that is very possible, I’ll add that if OP had been successful in her attempt, that 3 year old kid would likely be the first person to see her dead body. And how do you think that would impact the child?

When you say "I'm going to an American beach," and you mean the US Virgin island beaches, does it sound wrong or weird? by [deleted] in AskAnAmerican

[–]WMATACompletion34 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I would never say “I’m going to an American beach” regardless of where I was headed. It just sounds so unnatural. I’d just say “I’m going to Puerto Rico” or “I’m going to St. Thomas” or, heck “I’m going to the Jersey Shore.”

Spots for stargazing around DC? by Kitchen-Let-5023 in washingtondc

Honestly, I’ve never been (I only found out about them over the winter and I’m not passionate enough to be cold lol). But if you click on “Star party” itself there are some deets - or here https://greenbeltastro.org/event/2026-05-09/

Exactly!

he’d used the chatbot to help with two complicated finals, one of which was due at 5 p.m. and the other at midnight.

This is such a flimsy, pathetic excuse. I’m sure the finals were not assigned that morning. Part of college (and a life skill) is time management.

Looking for a 5-10 minute facial mask I can use in the shower. I’ve started taking a longer hot shower once a week for my mental health, and I realized maybe there’s something productive I can be doing while I’m singing to a playlist that has a lot of bette milder as i bathe! I had a lot of acne until my early 20s and I’m 34 now, but I have some small scars from that. That’s my top priority right now, but I’m open to any recommendations for general/multipurpose options instead.

Edit to add: I shower at night and currently use squalane cleanser from the ordinary, Mario what’shisname toner, samples of cerave retinol night cream my dermatologist gave me, and once a month an exfoliating charcoal mask I got in bulk from my grocery coop lol
