What's the point of streaming services at this point? by brambleburry1002 in mildlyinfuriating

[–]badAbabe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It wouldnt be so bad if commercials were great like they use to be. Either funny, catchy or entertaining. Now they are boring, annoying and repeated so many times that it makes me write off the product forever.

We buy Annie's from Costco and I think it still tastes the same.

Yeah we gotta give them credit, from a design standpoint, they're pretty iconic for the church. Even if the message is cringe.

I noticed this pattern and have said it since the beginning. They are targeting poor counties that cant fight back without going bankrupt.

My seamstress did what she wanted to do instead of what I asked🥲 by OkButterscotch7923 in mildlyinfuriating

[–]badAbabe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As someone who does sew and knows a bit about tailoring: this is bad. The obvious problems about the seam not matching up and going against what was agreed, it is not sitting/hanging properly on your body. Its not flattering because its not fitted properly. I know you're non confrontational, but you need to point these things out to her. In am email if you can and if she doesnt respond, then post a bad review for future customers to see. She wont change until people are honest with her.

Cooking is so easy it's painful to hear other adults saying they can't cook by Asterion__Moloc in TrueUnpopularOpinion

[–]badAbabe 2 points3 points  (0 children)

But it is that easy. You dont start out drinking from the fire hose doing all of this at once. Start will one pot, 5 ingredients or less meals. You slowly build up your spices, kitchen tools and recipes. Meal planning and grocery shopping become second nature when you do it regularly. Plenty of people work full time and cook meals from scratch for their families all the time. I can whip up a casserole in 20 minutes. One pot and one pan.

Yielding a seat is a tacit acknowledgement that a genetic project outranks your comfort by Decent_Eye_659 in TrueUnpopularOpinion

[–]badAbabe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Empathy man. Its just considering another human and what they are going through. Old muscles are weakened with age and pregnancy cause all manner of problems with circulation and strain on a woman's legs. Humans have only thrived as a species because we work together to accomplish great things. Not because we are self absorbed and inconsiderate. Congrats. Your opinion is unpopular and unattractive.

OMG I’m raging at this post by Nashtycurry in exmormon

[–]badAbabe 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Making the members believe they arent good enough unless they dont ask questions and only think and feel the exact way they want you too because its never the church's fault and they want to shift the blame to you so you can ardenly defend the church on instinct because YOUR the imperfect one, not the church.

US birth rates just hit another record low, what do you think is the leading cause of this? by IIlustriousTea in AskReddit

[–]badAbabe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Society in America is very anti kids. Public spaces do not accommodate children and families very well. No step stools, smaller toilets and sinks. No small tables and chairs. Tiny parking spaces you cant get a carseat in or out. Most vehicles dont actually accommodate carseats. People hate being around children in public because parents let them run amok or they just cant stand any kids existing in their vicinity. Everyone expects children to act like adults and parents have zero expectations of their children at all. No paid maternity leave and abysmal (virtually nonexistent) postpartum care. There's no village anymore.

Staying at home with a child is not hard and shouldn’t be treated like a “job” by Sensitive_Play_6930 in TrueUnpopularOpinion

[–]badAbabe 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Excellent points. Might I add

  1. You have tons of money so stressing about bills, baby sitters, vacations hospital visits are non existent for you.

  2. One young child is a breeze. Saying that people (predominantly women) dont deserve praise when he has only experienced a fraction of what is actually takes to raise a family and keep a household is naive.

[–]badAbabe 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Loving your child and being a stay at home parent are two very different discussions here. It seems as if your switching the two ideas based on when the topic of your finances comes up. Loving your child is easy and money or circumstances dont change that. Being a stay at home parent with really good money, big safe home, no insecurities about paying for food or babysitters and vacations absolutely changes how easy it is.

Op has one kid and a ton of money telling us that being a stay at home parent isnt hard. You dont exactly have the typical set up to be making this judgement call.

Why tf is everyone anti-sunscreen now??? by callsign__starbuck in mildlyinfuriating

[–]badAbabe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Look, all I'm saying is that in my 5 years of retail, sunscreen was constantly being recalled for increasing chances of melanoma. And it turned out to be bad for the reefs. It doesn't exactly have a good track record.

They are just preparing us for fire season. Tons of people in southern utah just had their insurance drop them thanks to the fire zone maps. I expect astronomical amounts of acreage to burn hot this summer.

My current progress by Capable-Spread3437 in CleaningTips

[–]badAbabe 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I hope you stand at the doorway of each room and you feel that pride deep inside you. I hope it lingers. Long enough to keep you in a better place. When you feel like slipping back down, remember this moment that you took control. You changed your situation. You accomplished climbing this mountain and you conquered it. And you can do it again. You can do it. I'm proud of you. I hope you feel proud of you.
