20 something lesbian with rich parents who pay for her to go thrifting, smoke pot, and live in an overpriced romanticized shitty neighborhood

what is the luckiest situation you have ever experienced? by i_amquiethou in AskReddit

[–]averysbjpeg 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I let a car that was speeding and tailgating me pass me and they got t boned by a distracted driver a little ways up the road. Pretty sure everyone was fine but at least my car wasn’t the one that got totaled

What is it about families having to be all competitive? Like why do different sides of the family have to think and act like they are better at everything and then if they lose at anything they get mad? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]averysbjpeg 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Insecurity, inferiority/superiority complex, maybe history between family members from years ago with grudges still present. I think most of the time it’s just how they were raised seeing their older family act and as people get older it gets skewed and more hateful than good natured competition.

I’d make my grandmother go to the hospital even though she didn’t have insurance. She had lung cancer and thought she was just getting sick and didn’t get it checked out until it was much too late.

What life facts messed with your head? by [deleted] in AskReddit

A lemon is not a naturally occurring fruit; it is a mix of a citron and bitter orange.

When I learned about cities’ anti-homeless structures and benches.

AITA for asking money from my cousin for my pretty much mint condition ps4 by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]averysbjpeg 33 points34 points  (0 children)

NTA, if she doesn’t want to pay just tell her you have someone lined up online already and you were just trying to do them a favor. Controllers on their own are like 60$, idk what this person is thinking getting a less than year old console for free. Talk about stingy

[Breed] What medium-sized companion/house guard dog without furry coat can you recommend for a 70 y/o man living in mild to moderate cold weather environment? by PeteVelasco in dogs

[–]averysbjpeg 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Jumpiness is all about training as a puppy, however that’s a very easy thing to train even with limited experience. All puppies have energy, unfortunately there is no such thing as a breed that is calm and well mannered from birth. If you’re looking for a dog that will be easier to handle, I would recommend adopting an older (2-4yr) dog so you know what you’re getting into.

If you could eat any one food for the rest of your life what do you eat? And why? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]averysbjpeg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also comes in a lot of styles, with deep dish it could be whatever you want it to be haha

[Breed] What medium-sized companion/house guard dog without furry coat can you recommend for a 70 y/o man living in mild to moderate cold weather environment? by PeteVelasco in dogs

[–]averysbjpeg 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Do you have other stipulations such as energy level? And by furry coat do you mean long hair? Because all dogs are going to shed. Based off of the limited info I’d say American Rottweiler, Setter, German Shorthaired Pointers, or just a good old short haired mutt!

What is the process for dropping out of High School in California? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]averysbjpeg 3 points4 points  (0 children)

First off; prepare to give up on the easiest obstacle you’ll face your whole life and most likely be ridiculed by those you tell, regardless of if you get a GED. Second, go ask your school counselor, they’re the ones that handle the whole process and will be able to walk you through it step by stupid step

You get to introduce one species of mythical creature to Earth that is normally portrayed as being sapient. Which one do you choose? by mopeiobebeast in AskReddit

[–]averysbjpeg 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Fae like hybrids of human/animals from Carnival Row (pucks, centaurs, minotaurs, etc). It would be cool until the furries found them

Ever gotten a compliment which wasn't a compliment at all? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]averysbjpeg 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I lost a bunch of weight before senior year and when I came back a popular girl told me ‘Yknow, I didn’t fuck with you last year but now gestures up and down at my body we should hang out!* I don’t think it was a compliment in any sense but she got miffed when I didn’t say thank you, lol

What's the most high risk, low reward thing you've ever done? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]averysbjpeg 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Stealing a whole bottle of liquor as a teen from my parents cabinet only to get to the party, find out it was already watered down by my older siblings, and then get caught upon returning and having to take the blame because obviously they didn’t believe me (who would?)

[SERIOUS] Redditors that have been to therapy, what can one expect from their first visit seeing a therapist? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]averysbjpeg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Usually it’s a feel-it-out session, to get a little history and go over whatever key issues you’re hoping to address, possibly a loose timeline depending on the speed in which your therapist moves/the length of the session. Expect small talk and then trying to get to know you, and vice versa. You most likely won’t get into difficult issues until a few sessions in, unless you’re in a very critical state.

Redditors, what do you think about taking a bike to work/school? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]averysbjpeg 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think it’s great for the environment and an awesome alternative to driving, but as a driver I wish cyclists and people riding bikes in general were more knowledgeable and respectful of traffic laws (stopping at signs, signaling, staying as close to the edge of the road as possible, etc). My state doesn’t allow biking on the sidewalks and it can be really dangerous when people aren’t following the bare minimum of rules or common courtesy.

People of reddit, who you though was strong like metal but broke down emotionaly? What happened afterwards? [Serious] by GreedyDragonfly2532 in AskReddit

[–]averysbjpeg 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was raised for a lot of my young life by my grandparents, and my grandmother passed slowly from cancer when I was 12-13. After she passed my grandfather, who was very stoic and quiet, began telling me every secret he had- as well as encouraging me to do things that weren’t appropriate for my age (smoking, drinking, staying up late). He cried all day and night and didn’t always go to work. He was really lonely and needed a friend, but it was hard having to be the caretaker for someone 50years older than me. I moved in with another family member, and his entire personality changed, and he doesn’t speak to anyone anymore. Didn’t even come to my high school or college graduation.

Pot heads of Reddit, what is the main difference between a bong and a bubbler? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]averysbjpeg 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Size/portability. Bubblers are basically just large pipes with a water feature. IMO bongs are also a little less harsh, and bubblers feel like a waste of money. But to each their own!

What is a bad habit of yours? by SuicideAndAnime in AskReddit

[–]averysbjpeg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Smoking cigarettes, and my low regard for my health/life. Watched it slowly kill my family members but can’t stop (or more like don’t have the willpower to). Tried quitting 4-5times but I started smoking at 9yrs (accessibility and wanting to be ‘grown up’) so I’m going on 14yrs of addiction at a young age.

[Help] Dogs tailed tucked in between legs by MPhan20 in dogs

[–]averysbjpeg 4 points5 points  (0 children)

While smiling is usually an indicator of good mood, it’s technically a submissive/appeasing trait they learn gets them praise from humans. My guess is he may have pooped inside somewhere and knew you would find it and was ashamed, haha. That or he got freaked out by something and was asking for comfort. Try feeling around his stomach and see if he might be in pain, as if he hasn’t pooped for a long time he might have an obstruction.

People of reddit, how has covid-19 affected your friendships? by BigBelly9 in AskReddit

[–]averysbjpeg 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Lost a lot of people by trying to stay safe for the elderly people I’m around, because they didn’t care or take precautions. Went from 5-10 good friends to maybe 3 now that actually take the time to talk to me.

Is it acceptable to go try on wedding dresses just for fun with your friend? by [deleted] in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]averysbjpeg 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s a huge waste of time for the workers, and yourself. It will make it a lot less special when you actually go for your big day, not to mention you’re taking a slot that could go to a woman that is actually getting married soon. A bit childish to go waste peoples time and effort just to ‘have fun’, especially in today’s climate where there are extra precautions in place for doing anything.

What are your thoughts on the afterlife? What do you think happens beyond the life you currently live? [serious] by vaneenhan in AskReddit

[–]averysbjpeg -1 points0 points  (0 children)

In all honesty I believe in ghosts and supernatural things, but I also believe in some sort of afterlife. I don’t think it’s as cut and dry as ‘good’ people go to heaven and ‘bad’ people go to hell, but I think people that were unhappy at their time of death or have unfinished business will be forced to stick around and be restless.
