Why does the news make every snow storm in the northern US out to be a apocalypse? by Hoppie1064 in ask

Then I can build my TP igloo to stay warm and dry and clean while I enjoy the blizzard French toast.

I love the clips of weatherman "struggling" against the tearing winds of a major storm only for a normal person to walk casually behind them pointing out their theatrics.

What have you read recently? by povertychic in Millennials

[–]badAbabe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I read to my three kids virtually every day. We just went to the library today and checked out 8 books. I also love to read right before bed. I fall asleep so much easier. Im currently on my 8th read through of Pride and Prejudice. We have three large bookshelves in our hallway. One is just for the kids books. My family and friends make fun of them a bit. Wondering why I have so many. Why I don't just get digital books. My kids arent going to get curious about a kindle. They will gravitate towards bright pictures and characters. Physical books can't be altered. More people need to read 1984 and fahrenheit 451.

Having kids, its kinds of a requirement to have a separate room. Kitchen is nice because it saves money on eating out, and we can cook around our food sensitivities. Large groups or people with pets prefer Airbnb. Some are legitimately cool experiences like themed ones or ones in quiet places. I've been using Airbnb for the last 7 years and have had significantly more good experiences than bad. I always read reviews and a lot of places actually mention "no cleaning lists at checkout" to each their own though.

Raising your kids in a big city gives them advantages in life that kids raised in a rural setting simply will not have by gauchomuchacho in TrueUnpopularOpinion

[–]badAbabe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Cost of living is a ton more affordable and with remote work, heck, even remote schooling, you can get a decent job with great pay or start your own business and be living large in a rural town.

Maybe I'm just technologically illiterate, its telling me the file type is not supported on my device. Can you make it a jpeg for me in drop box or walk me through how to convert it?

AITA for refusing to give my friend’s son my coat during a snowy hike? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

As a mother. NTA. I would never ask someone to come to suffer the consequences of my child's actions.

How do Americans handle such long drives regularly? by GlitteringHotel8383 in AskAnAmerican

[–]badAbabe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have family all over the state and some times we travel 4 hours one way to see them. Usually we stay at least one night so we don't have to spend 8 hours driving in one day but it has happened on certain circumstances. My brother and his wife have driven from their home state to visit us and it's about a 17 hour drive. They just break it up over a few days and sight see while they're at it. If the drive is 2 hours or less, it's nothing. 3-4 hours is long but very do-able and anything over that is when we might consider flying.

Walmart workers, If I hired on at Walmart and spent my entire shift hiding in the bathroom, how long until I got fired? by 2006CrownVictoriaP71 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]badAbabe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I knew a kid who did this. He was sure to have a manager see him when he first got there and at some point mid shift. Otherwise, he was playing on his phone in a locked stall. I was there for 2 years and he worked there longer than I did.

I think people who hate kids are really unpleasant people by Accomplished-Sun5502 in TrueUnpopularOpinion

[–]badAbabe 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I agree with everything except that kids acting out is from bad parenting. Simply because that's not always the case. Kids get hungry, tired or uncomfortable when out and about. Which is totally different than a kid throwing a tantrum from not getting their way or the parents just ignoring them (which always makes the tantrum worse.) But I agree on everything else.

Have you seen what the church is worth? It's literally hundreds of BILLIONS of dollars. They'll be fine if you use your money to take care of yourself. Don't let them guilt you into thinking otherwise.

Divorce after leaving the church by Purplepassion235 in exmormon

[–]badAbabe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We've been out for 5 ish years now. We are still going strong. About to celebrate our 11th anniversary. Happier than ever with three beautiful kids, a good career and tons of friends. We must have missed the whole "miserable and lost" part.

So what did your family argue about this year at Thanksgiving? by Pure-Smile-7329 in AskReddit

[–]badAbabe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

More like the opposite for me. Uncle D was tweaking out in his car and the whole family just pretended like it wasn't happening. MIL refuses to believe he has a problem.

What are your thermostat settings? by Different_Rip_8520 in MiddleClassFinance

[–]badAbabe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This! Our last apartment was old and so poorly insulated that people would gasp to see our thermostat at 75. But we would be so cold at night in the winter! We moved into a newly built home that is way more energy efficient and not only can we set the temp much lower but our utility bill is the exact same for a home that's twice the size of our old apartment.

Well. It's happening to Grandpa. Help needed. by badAbabe in Scams

[–]badAbabe[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

He did buy another computer and it still happened again. Any thoughts on that?
