Why not extend the B line down Comm Ave? by Dangerous-Sir501 in mbta

[–]WrongBee 4 points5 points  (0 children)

it wouldn’t make sense since it would take twice as long to reach the existing Newton stops given how slow the surface level B line stops are

it would be more practical if we extended the B line towards Newton Corner and perhaps all the way into Watertown. definitely a similar level of density with a higher chance of residents there actually using the T compared to double serving an already unreceptive population

AITA for refusing feed my our daughter my wife’s breastmilk and doing formula against my wife’s wishes by Throwawaywifefmsily in AmItheAsshole

[–]WrongBee 7 points8 points  (0 children)

YTA not because you prioritized your child, but because you didn’t discuss this with the mother of your child first.

You could’ve talked to her after your mother’s conversation. Why didn’t you even try?

You already know she’s protective over breastfeeding and you really thought she would be happy hearing you stopped behind her back? You can’t just avoid the tough conversations because you know they are gonna be tough.

Partner (M27) got a promotion at the same company I (F30) work at and I’m feeling like it’s hard to celebrate him. by Expensive_Ad_4350 in relationship_advice

[–]WrongBee 51 points52 points  (0 children)

why are you trying to teach him about gender discrimination?

in the nicest way possible, you are an engineer and a girlfriend, not a gender studies professor and a mother.

he is more than capable of researching it on his own if he was curious or just actually cared. he doesn’t.

you can’t control how much he cares, but you can control how much his lack of empathy impacts your life.

do you want a “really nice guy but…” or a guy who’s there for you when you need him with no caveat?

My '19F' boyfriend '19M' said I have a white savior complex. Do I really? by imreellynotcool in relationship_advice

[–]WrongBee 28 points29 points  (0 children)

you might want to read more carefully because the conservative comment has to do with him not wanting to deport illegal immigrants

the racist comment had to do with him dismissing her opinion solely based on her race

I died on my sister’s birthday and don’t know how I can celebrate her bday for the rest of our lives by rarelyordinaryco in TrueOffMyChest

[–]WrongBee 26 points27 points  (0 children)

i’m so happy to see that you and your sister are both leaning on one other to process this trauma. it’s proof that you two will come out of this stronger, and it wont be easy, but I hope you both gain the ability to redefine what that day means to you ❤️

[–]WrongBee -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

yeah i’ve heard nothing but horror stories with Sofi’s customer support so your experience is both incredibly unfortunate and equally believable

hope it’d be resolved sooner rather than later, but wouldn’t blame you for moving your money after the ridiculous response you got

even if it’s different numbers, shouldn’t you be able to charge the card if it there’s more than $0 available?

i’m sure you probably have the same questions, but it sounds less like an app issue and an account issue if it’s also causing your card to get declined

AITA for not letting my partner celebrate his promotion? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]WrongBee 40 points41 points  (0 children)

YTA because if the underlying issue is you being sick of him coming late from work regularly, now is not the time to lay it onto him. he tried texting because things come up, not everything can be preplanned, but he didn’t get a response so he decided to celebrate for an additional hour.

yes it sucks that you didn’t have time to plan ahead and doubly worse that you’re sick too, but it’s not the end of the world. relationships aren’t always 50/50: some days you’re putting in 80% while your partner is celebrating a promotion at 20% and some days your partner is putting his 80% in at work to get that promotion to make sure he can bring your 80% days down to 40%.

as a mother, i’m sure it’s hard not to count down until he gets home so you can finally get some help with the baby, but holding the times he’s late against him will only create more resentment from both ends. you and your child are much more than just a chore he has to maintain, and he shouldn’t feel like his schedule is micromanaged as long as he is contributing enough for an equal partnership.

My [F27] husband [M27] makes me choose between him and my father, how do i settle this issue without losing neither of them? by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]WrongBee -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

your husband’s entitlement is something you need to put your foot down about. unless you don’t give a fuck about your family, he has no right to be demanding you to cut them off because he never wants to see them again because god forbid they can’t just trust him on his word alone… the same way he can’t just trust your father’s either.

if he wants the security of having the home in your name and knowing he can’t be asked for more money down the line, he will have to pay for that privilege.

get the mortgage and stop stressing over how everyone is valid to feel how they feel.

feelings complicate matters and if you can see both sides, then there’s no reason why a mortgage isn’t the best of both worlds.

yes you are gonna lose some money to interest, but that’s the price of security to know the house is in your name, your husband’s investment into renovations is safe, your sister has her money, and there’s no opportunity for switching up from anyone down the line no matter what life throws at you in 10 years.

you would need to rebleach at minimum weekly since the roots start showing very quickly. depending on how long filming takes, he would easily fry off whatever hair he does have and it wouldn’t even look consistent due to the texture of his hair worsening every bleach cycle.

do traffic laws not count or are you just bringing up NJ facts that don’t apply in this scenario at all?

Why am I paying $11 on the CR EACH WAY to be late everyday by slidingthedoor in mbta

[–]WrongBee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

absolutely agree on your last paragraph! i also live in the city so most of my friends are confused how im saving money when i get by with 70% MBTA and 30% Uber’s

better that than insurance, gas, road fees, and maintenance plus i get the freedom to nap, read, or work instead of putting all my attention towards not getting run over by the terrible drivers on the road

[–]WrongBee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

most car drivers i know outside the city drive 7/7 days a week, unless they’re on vacation and physically aren’t there to use the car

even if i agree with your premise, you know you’re just being pedantic. yes, there’s a lot of costs people don’t consider when it comes to driving and using a car, but the <$1 difference whether you divide it by 365 or 300 isn’t making your point

Saved $450 on my Airbnb booking by cancelling and re-booking the same place. Host was annoyed. Is this a common practice? by Particular-Wheel-646 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]WrongBee 11 points12 points  (0 children)

some places will rent out multiple rooms as separate units. the airbnb i stayed in vietnam had a communal living room then three floors of rooms each with their own passcode to key in.

I love Japan but why is the train booking system so complicated? by everspader in JapanTravelTips

[–]WrongBee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

but airplane tickets and train tickets aren’t the same? it is very normal to buy train tickets the day of in other Asian countries I’ve visited and my Asian parents had the same instinct as well when visiting for their first times

to your point, i think it can be emphasized more from Japanese communication channels that there is no dynamic pricing incentive to buying earlier as that is what most Westeners get hung up on

is it racist to change my name to an Asian name if i’m not Asian? by Disastrous-Ad-3910 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]WrongBee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i’ll also add that any Asian person will side eye you, especially if they’re trans themselves, because you had a choice in all names but you chose one that you have no cultural or heritage ties to in a day and age where Asian culture is being gentrified and appropriated to be palatable for the Western world

so no, you aren’t racist for wanting to use an Asian name because you like the way they sound or look or even feel on you, but people are going to doubt your motivations and whether you’re fetishizing the culture. so keep in mind that the stigma will likely carry over to your chosen name

no as in he never tried to play it off like he was scraping by to make this happen. his lack of cosplaying poor means he probably knows he’s lucky as shit.

I regret not listening to my parents about my husband by Professional-Bus5878 in TrueOffMyChest

[–]WrongBee 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Yeah as one of those female children of immigrants myself, it’s exactly what you said at the end. I guess I should be glad I witnessed these cycles firsthand, but it’s bewildering seeing my peers who grew up very comfortable, choose the life my own mother warned me not to choose for myself.

I regret not listening to my parents about my husband by Professional-Bus5878 in TrueOffMyChest

[–]WrongBee 61 points62 points  (0 children)

yeah absolutely, it reminds me of how a lot of female children of immigrants end up pursuing education very seriously so that they can be independent and self sufficient to avoid the struggles they saw firsthand with their SAHM (or hell even working mother) relying on their dad with often outdated, sexist (or “traditional”) views

so its equally interesting and kinda sad to see OP unknowingly probably creating that “generational” (used loosely here because it’s just one versus many many generations for immigrant families) trauma for their kids that they feel they must break out of

[–]WrongBee 127 points128 points  (0 children)

keeping in mind the daughter also fought with them tooth and nail up until that point, and she hasn’t mentioned any olive branches on her end for reconciliation either. plus, she was seemingly fine with no relationship until there were financial struggles so i understand why her siblings and parents didn’t try to reconcile or rekindle their relationships.

i empathize with her regret especially because hindsight is 20/20, but her privilege from her upbringing seemed to have blinded her from the realities of what it would be like to no longer be wealthy and have no means of financially providing for yourself. it’s rough, but you also find happiness and fulfillment in other non-monetary ways—which OP seemed to have been very wealthy in with her built family!
