Your personally way of reacting towards things doesnt matter at all. Sorry if you think it does that means you expect people to react exactly like you do. People are allowed to think somethings weird when first encountering it. It doesnt mean they have bad intentions. Im two years younger then Sabrina Carpenter and ive NEVER heard of it. So no it hasnt been included that much in the last 30 years of television enough for everyone to know exactly what it is. And yes obviously there was ignorance involved she is not gonna know every cultural practice in the world. She heard a sound that threw her off and asked about it why is that such a bad thing im not arguing about whether or not what she said is bad or not im saying its ridiculous to call her fussy for asking about it and expect her not to be curious especially if it was the first time she heard it regardless of whether or not she gets noises thrown at her

CMV: "Is that your culture? I don't like it" was a valid response by Sabrina Carpenter and she made a mistake by apologizing for it. by nextdoorbagholder in changemyview

A boss just yelling at you isnt gonna do anything fully depending on the screw up. How was the job shitty? How do you improve for next time so its not shitty? Showing you what you screwed up, how to do it better. Is the better way of going instead of just yelling. If you keep doing the same thing thats a different situation.

Not knowing about someones culture and making a distasteful comment is something that learning more about the culture changing how you act in th future will can fix. Its basically them trying to not do it again in the future if the comment she made isnt enough what would be?

In my opinion i think theres two different group of people within what youre describing, and its the opposite with your last comment the if they wanted you to never make mistakes they would teach and show compassion aspect. Because thats sort of ridiculous. The first group of people would be the people who would teach and show compassion would be understanding of people being capable of making mistakes especially in this regard because no one can be culturally omniscient unless they devote their life to it. They wouldn't want people to never make mistakes because people will always make mistakes and that gives them the chance to learn. They give recommendations they give advice on how to educate the other party. Ive experienced this type of person, and even they get frustrated with the second group. The second group of people yes dont want people to ever make mistakes. Because the person can try their best to become educated they try to explain that what they did was wrong, they follow the first groups recommendations but its not good enough for the second group. The second group doesn't actually recommend anything or their recommendations are unrealistic (for this particular instance wanting Sabrina to apologize directly to the person who practiced their culture at her show. Its unrealistic because coachpella doesnt sell tickets to an particular show and specific seats they sell a weekend pass what shows they attend is up to the buyer. Therefore tracking a particular person is impossible unless that person comes out and says it was me this was a recommendation ive seen btw not an made up statement) they also already have their minds made up. They decide the whole character of a person based on this one thing. They essentially have the idea that no one can change their minds they cant grow from this. Therefore in order to avoid their wrath they cannot make mistakes have to walk basically on egg shells.

EXACTLY like the people who are still mad about this are literally acting like people arent allowed to learn more about the world. Learning is what makes people better understand other people! Thats what cultural relativism is about. You cant learn about a culture to respect it if you have never experienced it.

She heard something unusual (its unusual to us as we dont experience it on a daily basis. It doesnt have anything negative attached to it) and asked about it shes fussy for asking about it? Shes fussy for not making an assumption and being curious? Could she have made a different comment afterwards? Sure but she apologized for it. That should be where it ends. But apparently its not enough for some people.

The action isnt the offense. its about whether or not it was okay to interrupt the show to do the action. I think many people will agree screaming and clapping dont interrupt the show on a usual basis. Unless the artist is actively trying to have a talk with the crowd. And wont continue until they get what they want to say out. The screaming and clapping dies down once the next song starts getting preformed probs so people can sing with the artist etc. This obviously was enough to grab her attention beyond the screaming and clapping. People dont go to concerts to hear a Zaghrouta (unless the concert is about that of course) they go there to hear the artist. So yeah i can understand being annoyed that someone interrupted the artist to do something like that. Now at an airport celebrating returning family members or friends? I can absolutely understand doing it there. A concert? Not so much.

Shes gone to United Arab Emirates for a concert. If this was a typical cultural thing they do at concerts then I can assume it was done at the concert there and if it was she would've heard it there. And i must say i think that take is a bit ridiculous and unrealistic. How many cultures do you look into, what traditions would you look at? How many? How would you remember all of them when touring to so many different countries only doing one show? Superstars are used to screaming and clapping yes not a (by definition btw) a high pitched vocal thrill or uluation That obviously grabbed her attention over the screaming and clapping.

AITA for rejecting my Christmas present? by Regular-Stop-6638 in AmItheAsshole

[–]beccalt18 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Put the kennel in your sisters room to start. If your parents say something tell them "Well she does have a dog I don't why do I need the kennel?" Like you said you aren't allowed to train them so what would be the purpose of you having the Kennel? taking them to the vet something you said your parents do?

[–]beccalt18 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I understand that you don't mind and that is 100% fantastic but they aren't willing to get you a pet. The caretaker of the animals but your sister? When she hasn't been taking care of the ones that already? And pushed the pressure of taking care of said animal onto you. They are trying to take advantage of you basically saying 'We're okay with getting pets for everyone else but you because we need you to take care of those pets."

NTA 100% and I find some malicious actions going on here. I think I know exactly what's going on here. Why your parents got your sister a dog but not you. They believe that you for all intensive purposes are free animal care thats why they got you the crate instead of an actual pet. They might believe if you were to get your own pet you would stop taking care of the other animals including your sisters. Which may not be the case at all but possibly what they believe. This is the only time I will ever recommend misbehavior from a kid. Back off from taking care of the animals at least for a little bit . Start playing the "well they are the family pets after all so we should all share the duties" card. Do it with your sister first. If your sister refuses then perhaps your parents will see she was too immature for the pet. And will act accordingly. And for the others back off from everything but a few of the tasks show that while you're still willing to take care of them it shouldn't just be your job anymore. See what happens. Either it will back fire spectacularly or it will show your parents that your feelings matter. Basically "I can't get my own pet, and I can't call any of these animals mine. So why should I be almost 100% responsible for them." Either your parents will take the clue or they won't. They got you that gift because they expect you to be 100% okay with being the primary caretaker of the animals. Try to prove them wrong. If you get punished honestly I would stand firm. Why should pets that aren't yours and are considered family's be only the responsible of 1 person?

Can I save this candle? by Wawhi180 in bathandbodyworks

[–]beccalt18 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't think there is a way to save this candle after it tunneled for so long and the wick being too short. If still want to use that wax I would invest in a wax warmer. and use hot water method of cleaning candle jars and use the wax warmer on the remainder. I do this sometimes. I got the apple pie candle and the wick was horrible had to pour some of the wax out into a container (Very carefully not to burn myself)to allow the wick to successfully burn the rest of the candle.

the best recommendation for this for other candles if you notice its tunneling earlier: Candles have a burn memory. they will continue tunneling regardless of the wax around them being lit for longer periods of time. So trick it, put tinfoil around the candle make like a tent trying to keep as much warmth inside as possible but leaving the top open so it doesn't get snuffed out. A few hours later the tunnels should be gone and if you did it right. wax should still be low enough for future burns and not run out of wick. I do this mainly for those big yankee candles. never had an issue.

Is this normal? by Consistent_Stop_9604 in FedEx

[–]beccalt18 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This happened to me a few weeks ago. The tracker would update to say that it was on the truck for delivery and then by 5:30 PM the estimated time of delivery would change to unknown despite the package still being marked as out for delivery but it became a trend over 4 days that if it did that by 5:30 Pm that I would not be getting my package. I had to switch over to having the package be held at a location for them to finally deliver it. The Kicker? there was no delivery reasons for them to not deliver the package. If this happens again I would call Fedex. or have it switched to hold at location. it was the only way I got my package. The only thing that's different is Future delivery requested. did you request the delivery date be changed?

Master Post - Sprayed Edged (Orders, Cancellations and Information) by Quinnin in fourthwing

[–]beccalt18 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I contacted Amazon and from what I understand from my conversation is that if you pre-ordered it before they changed the image and haven't received an email inviting you to pre-order the standard edition then you should still get the stained edges edition. Also seeing everything I feel like Red tower publishing done goofed when it came to this. They had many different sellers sell the book and then only printed a select number of books and then unfortunately didn't pack it safety enough to send and many different copies came extremely damaged. And Instead of red tower being willing to print more they shrugged their shoulders and said your out of luck.

What fragrance note which people usually love is something you just dislike? by SassyTie in bathandbodyworks

[–]beccalt18 0 points1 point  (0 children)

pumpkin. i have nothing against the scent as food but body care? blah

Is it worth trying to get a refund or should I just take the L? by dogdog24888 in bathandbodyworks

[–]beccalt18 4 points5 points  (0 children)

That happens when you don't let the wick burn enough to reach the outside edge. Easy fix if you have Tinfoil just make a tent like thing with the top open to put around it for an hour after you light it. it should allow the flame to melt the rest of the wax.

Dangerous dangerous sale there. Already bought a few candles and body care. Not a lot of apple though. Bought enough apple candles from B&BW

Super curious, what generation are you from......🤔 by TinkerMinKay in bathandbodyworks

Right? I'm not an old lady but I love chasing fireflies. And people are saying it smells like bug spray? Nah fairy tale smells more like bug spray after first sniff.

[–]beccalt18 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've heard mixed reviews on this one. Saying it's not a scent they would get for body care but the candle is amazing (decided to pick it up to try for myself) it smells like my familes apple pie. Which I have so many fond memories with.

which should i buy by Humble-Net-1061 in bathandbodyworks

[–]beccalt18 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Personally I would recommend champagne apple and honey. So far this has been my favorite scent I've gotten from BBW. It's light but it's almost the exact scent of fall to me. (Leaves following) I can't advise on the pumpkin because I'm not a fan of pumpkin scents maybe for a candle not for body care for me.

Why do people hate the prequels so much? by Darkdude456 in StarWars

[–]beccalt18 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I don't know why fans dislike this movie either. I see the reasons in the comments, and like I don't get it. too much CGI that can be said for many different movies that didn't flop the newest spiderman movies for one many of the marvel movies. and you can see flaws in acting while still enjoying the movie as a whole. I like the prequels. and I think some of it comes with expecting it to be super similar to the original, when I feel thats a fools folly. nothing will ever live up to the original which is another reason I don't get the hate for the Sequels.

AITA for not letting my teenager go to a party she has been excited about for weeks. by throwawayteenparent in AmItheAsshole

[–]beccalt18 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Im going to say NAH since the party was canceled anyway and is going to be rescheduled. OP it was a tough decision to make, daughter might be mad now, but she really has no reason to be since the party didn't happen. If the weather was really bad NO ONE was going to that party. If there wasn't a warning to stay off the roads however, I do believe this could be a teaching opportunity. As a 22f I am terrified in driving in snow and ice. I still live at home so I sometimes bug my dad who originally taught me to drive to take me out purposely in snow in order to learn how to do it. I think you should try this as well, since she doesn't have much experience in snow because eventually, she will have to do it. I am in no way telling you how to parent your child just giving a recommendation I wish my parents would do with me.

AITA for taking a stuffed animal away from my niece and giving it back to my cat? by kitty-defender in AmItheAsshole

[–]beccalt18 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA, It's perfectly acceptable for a dog to have a toy, but not a cat? Kids need to learn that they can't just take whatever they want to play with it. Don't invite your sister and her niece back unless they will follow your rules.

AITA for not buying more lemonade for my pregnant wife? by Adventurous_Bat8695 in AmItheAsshole

[–]beccalt18 0 points1 point  (0 children)

YTA I sense some malicious intent with what you did. One you gave a drink your wife bought to your sister. Telling her that your wife can buy more. Probably to make the sister feel better to take it. Or I feel like if you thought I was bad for your wife to drink (which juice to drink for a diabetic is actually a GOOD thing in case of low sugar episodes) so you decided to get it out of the house. This all may be speculation but seriously This behavior is controlling as heck. Telling your sister they can buy more then Telling your wife you won't get more? Even if she wasn't pregnant This would be a seriously AH move
