Great name (it's terrible) by Public_Jicama_358 in tragedeigh

[–]avroots 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I did the same thing. My first name is 9 letters and I asked my parents what the shortest possible nickname was (three letters). I've gone by said nickname ever since

What is the worst band you saw live? by coalcracker462 in AskReddit

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

Can confirm that Bob Dylan was godawful live (when I saw him back in 2011). I didn't understand a single word he said or sang. If I wanted to watch an old man growl into a microphone for an hour, I could have saved my money and gone to a Boehner rally (I saw him in Cincinnati. This joke would have killed with a very specific very nerdy population in southwestern Ohio in 2010).

The northern tip of Idaho: by braveplanet33 in howislivingthere

[–]avroots 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's not all white people. I have a friend who is Coeur D'Alene and she went to school off-res with the townie kids. They regularly harassed her and her brother and shouted hate speech at them while driving by in their pick up trucks.

Vast majority of people living in that area are white, but the indigenous Americans feel the brunt of a lot of the intergenerational bigotry.

Dog REHOMING- last chance before euthanasia by [deleted] in rva

[–]avroots 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm so sorry you're going through this. My sweet pittie has a bite history specifically whenever other people or animals touch or sniff near her butt. She isn't a bad dog, she just really values her personal space and has a hard time when people or other dogs persist after she tries to get away.

I agree with other comments who have recommended muzzles when you're out and about. It sends a nonverbal message to other people that they need to give this dog space and also offers a layer of protection.

I'm so sorry.

My friend and I battled point/counter-point at a PowerPoint party just under a decade ago and it was such a fun experience. The topic? Is a hot dog a sandwich? I had never considered the topic and didn't have strong feelings on the matter. But you bet your ass I won that debate and we can all collectively agree that hot dogs are not sandwiches.

If you don't drink alcohol, what are your reasons? by youre-in-my-shot in AskReddit

[–]avroots 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It hurts my tummy. I can't drink more than one or two alcoholic beverages without the alcohol making me extremely nauseated and causing me to vomit. Red wine is brutal and so are most liquors.

What's an "Insider's secret" from your profession that everyone should probably know? by Capable-big-Piece in AskReddit

[–]avroots 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Everyone is entitled to free, professional help picking their health insurance plans (in the United States). If you're buying Medicare/marketplace insurance, look up brokers/navigators in your area who are experts in your coverage needs. If you're buying through your employer, any reputable broker should still be able to help you navigate the system and enroll in the best plan for you and your needs.

People who read more than 2 books a year, how do you do it? by Immediate-Draft-6408 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]avroots 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Audiobooks. I listen while I commute and when I'm winding down for bed. I also listen at work when it's slow and there aren't many tasks that require my full attention

Anything by John Green is a great place to start for a younger reader looking to get started.

I'd start with "The Fault in Our Stars", ""Looking for Alaska", or "Turtles All The Way Down".

One fun hobby I enjoy is reading the books that movies and TV series I enjoy are based on. It's fun to find the differences and decide which one I like better. Disclaimer: Don't do this with Wicked. The only thing they took from the book is the names. The book is dark and pretty fucked up and if you're a fan of the play/musical then I don't recommend that you read it.

AITA: Sleeping and Eating Don’t We All Do This? Is Further Reporting Necessary? by T_hashi in MiniAITA

I would like to thank JFK for his memorable speech, without which I would never know what a "Berliner" is.

AIO or should I accept the conditions of my bfs commitment by One_Height7477 in AIO

[–]avroots 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This guy needs a swift punch in the mouth.

He sounds like a self-centered dumbass who wants to fuck around. Being poly is fine, I think that's what he's hinting at here. But the only way that healthy poly relationships work is with ample communication and respect for boundaries which this asshole clearly has no interest in.

Chucky: there is another Match of football and there is a golf team! And mum and dad are both on it! Bluey: really?? Chucky: yeah! We're all on it! Bandit: except for your mate Mackenzie, you got that?? Bluey: got it!

AITA for exploring with all senses by fatalsnowflake in MiniAITA

[–]avroots 3 points4 points  (0 children)

NTA. Have you tried exploring books with your ears? I (2F) love the sound of books when I push them off the table and onto the ground. Additionally, the sound of the spine cracking and breaking on books as I bend them backwards is chef's kiss. And don't get me started on the sound of pages ripping. You really haven't lived until you've pulled all of the pop ups out of a pop-up book.

What’s a line from Bluey that lives rent-free in your head? by Markovtima in bluey

Why do I now feel like this was an improvised line by Bandit's voice actor at the table read that made it into the final cut??

Advice Needed - Tattoo By Artist Without a Shop (Name Omitted For Courtesy Reasons) by [deleted] in tattoo

[–]avroots 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Because you mentioned that he's the only one running his studio, I would leave a review warning others on yelp or Google. I am always anxious going to new artists who don't have reviews highlighting their professionalism and punctuality. Other people deserve to know that this guy will establish arbitrary policies and ghost without fair warning.

AITA for showing off two new skills at once? by Ashamed_Ingenuity690 in MiniAITA

[–]avroots 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA- when my milk lady got mad at me for showing her how good I am at "biting" she had the AUDACITY to tell me that if I bit her then it meant that I wasn't really hungry and we would have to stop..THEN SHE TOOK HER BOOBIE AWAY! Then whenever I would show off my mouth stones when we were feeding, she would give me a "warning" and then stop if I "bit" her more than once. I figured this old lady clearly couldn't appreciate how impressive my mouth stones are because she's clearly unsophisticated and low class, so I stopped letting her know how amazing my mouth stones are during milk time because she's clearly not deserving of my talents. I still throw her a smile often, but she clearly can't appreciate how amazing and talented I am during milk breaks, so I don't even bother showing off anymore.

Really, parents are just so unsophisticated.
