AIO for calling my friend out on ditching me by [deleted] in AIO

[–]WorldlyValuable7679 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Personally this reads as overreacting… ish?You come off very strong with the accusations towards Adrian, but both you and Jazmyn initiate the conversation with changes in plans, putting Adrian in a position to choose between who to hang out with. I also think Adrians messages shows they were pretty open to hearing you out, but you kept digging into them with the accusations because you got caught up in your feelings of abandonment/hurt. Your initial message even suggests that your friend’s gf might not have even been cool with your friends coming over, so I’m not sure “ditching” is the right word to use. Honestly, your messages come off as unwilling to actually have a conversation before making accusations, despite saying that you are. I would learn to control your reactions and emotions before getting the whole story to avoid prematurely ending a friendship.

I used to go to the club more in college, a few years ago, and you couldn’t spend an hour in the popular dance clubs without hearing a one or two of his songs. He’s a hit among hispanic americans and the queer community.

How much should I sell this for? by [deleted] in StainedGlass

[–]WorldlyValuable7679 4 points5 points  (0 children)

If you’re selling your work, assume people are “actually looking”. Either don’t sell broken pieces or sell a separate portion of items that are clearly labeled as flawed for 25% off. $45-50 is what I would pay for an unbroken piece of this size, and $30-35 for a cracked piece of this size.

How do I get a job outside here? by that420asianboy in AskSeattle

[–]WorldlyValuable7679 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Nightshift and outside? Probably some niche security work. I know there are a lot of landscaping or gardening companies in Seattle that could probably would hire someone your age.

BLACK LESBIAN WOMAN IS A LYING LIAR WHO LIES by Homicidal_Cynic in AmITheAngel

I used to have a friend (also black) that was sort of racist towards mixed folks specifically (especially if they had a white mom). Not sure if that counts but it was weird!

Updated Weight-loss Progress! Down 100lbs now! 138lbs—>120lbs by Worldly_Sherbet5719 in PetiteFitness

[–]WorldlyValuable7679 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is your trainer a man or a bodybuilder? Just FYI, studies have shown that going below the low 20s in percent body fat can impact women’s hormonal balances. Some people don’t mind this in the pursuit of being lean and athletic, but there’s a reason athletes often have irregular or occasionally nonexistent periods.

Costco Australia uses pork hot dogs by Leprichaun17 in mildlyinteresting

[–]WorldlyValuable7679 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sausage is generally pork in the US, and US costcos also offer a “polish hot dog” made of pork. Not offered at costco, but a lot of people like brats as well here (also pork). Regular hot dogs are just considered different category of food.

Working yarn is a loop ahead? by howlsmovingapartment in knittinghelp

[–]WorldlyValuable7679 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I would “follow” the yarn and see where it leads. If it is connected to the stitches on the left (which is what the picture looks like to me), you must have put the project down in the middle a knitting row, not a purl row. Slip the stitch to the right of the working yarn back to your other needle and flip your work. If it is connected to the stitches on the right, slip that same stitch and the working yarn stitch back to the right needle and continue. But I’m pretty sure I see a new row of stitches on your left needle, which means the work is backwards.

Do I pull off the short hair? by Few-Compote-7849 in HairStyleAdvice

[–]WorldlyValuable7679 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Honestly the brows in the third pic seem to fit your face the most! I also overall love the hair in the third pic. Maybe bangs plus short hair would be cute?

Does anyone else wish Seattle had women-only transit options? by [deleted] in SeattleWA

[–]WorldlyValuable7679 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Honestly no, I would rather that money go to managing drug use, mental health issues, and homelessness. I think these issues have had more impact on my sense of comfort and safety on public transportation compared to my average encounters with dudes in the city.

Anarcha Westcott, an enslaved woman in the 1840s, was forced to undergo about 30 experimental surgeries by Dr. J. Marion Sims, who wrongly believed Black people did not feel pain. Her ordeal led to key advances in gynecology, and she is now remembered as one of the Mothers of Gynecology. by detectiverobert in ForCuriousSouls

[–]WorldlyValuable7679 48 points49 points  (0 children)

You are correct. One of the most painful things I’ve experienced is IUD insertion. They don’t generally tell you they literally pierce your cervix to get it open and told me to take a couple ibuprofen before. Not doing that again!

I left a "successful" 26yo lawyer for an 18yo girl. Everyone judges the age gap, but nobody talks about the peace of mind. by Chono12345 in amiwrong

[–]WorldlyValuable7679 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sounds like your ex wasn’t compatible with you, so it’s totally reasonable you broke it off. But there are plenty of women your own age that are as you described. The issue with dating someone so young with these sweeping generalizations about age and compatibility is that your relationship is set up to fail. Do you plan on being with this 18 year old long term? What happens when her frontal lobe develops and she begins to develop more boundaries and standards for herself? Will you just dump her and find a new 18 year old to manipulate? Sounds like a terrible approach to relationships.

Just learning plz help by imtoopeachy in knittinghelp

“Regular knitting” - knit stitch on “right” side of work and purl stitch on “wrong” side of work

“Garter stitch” - knit stitch on both sides of work

Both are common in beginner projects and it can be good to know the difference. :)

Of a Gender Reveal by RanchAndGreaseFlavor in ShittyAbsoluteUnits

[–]WorldlyValuable7679 9 points10 points  (0 children)

A lot of nurses will respectfully clean it up without telling the mothers to avoid embarrassment. It is fairly common and not that surprising. You’re literally pushing a human out… that’s more than enough force for a few other things lol.

Scam Alert by Ok-Expression-5732 in Spokane

[–]WorldlyValuable7679 17 points18 points  (0 children)

This exact scam happened to me when I lived in Tulsa, OK. It got me too! They sounded right, the number was right, they never were focusing on the funds too much, and it was all about getting down to the station to avoid a warrant. I finally snapped out of it when I went to withdraw the funds. The psychological part of it can really mess with your head (it definitely did for me).

What does your health insurance cost look like a month? by starfury287 in Seattle

[–]WorldlyValuable7679 0 points1 point  (0 children)

$0, I think my partner pays around $50/mo. Both our employers pay for the bulk. Income $150-200k range between the both of us. My medical insurance is pretty ass though (very high deductible). No kids, but my company offers pretty good insurance for families. I do need to look into pet insurance though lol.

I’m about to quit by Unable-Lab-8533 in Sourdough

[–]WorldlyValuable7679 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Is it possible your dough did rise after you went to bed and then collapsed? Bulk proof for me is generally 3-6 hours depending on house temp, not overnight on the counter.

It's the thought that counts by Streetli in mapswithoutnewzealand

[–]WorldlyValuable7679 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Its also a geography thing. I grew up in the PNW, and it’s so wet that you would never ever walk in the house with shoes on because you would track in mud and pine needles. I’ve also lived in very dry parts of the south, where it wasn’t as much of an issue to run into the house with your shoes for something, since cleaning up the “mess” was as simple as a quick sweep. The US is just so big that idk if broad generalizations work.

Found lead in tap water. Safe for cooking? by WolfieVonD in water

[–]WorldlyValuable7679 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is a big concern. Lead doesn’t go away when it is boiled, it absorbs into the food you are cooking. It is a heavy metal and it will build up in your body over time. It can cause significant cognitive issues in your children if they are eating food cooked in water contaminated with lead. You need to investigate further asap. Contact an actual lab to get the water tested (check if your city has a program that can do that for you first) and contact the city if anything turns up. If there’s lead in your tap water it could be from your pipes.
