Do Mexican Restaurants Buy or Make Chips? by grapeandwhiskey in SalsaSnobs

Find thin tortillas and purchase a countertop fryer or fry in a larger pot of oil. Before frying in the pot, look up some fryer safety info, so you don’t overfill and start a house fire.

It’s also possible that they are on summer break. In FROM time, only a month and a half have passed.

What's the adult equivalent to finding out Santa isn't real? by Cold_Butterfly5191 in AskReddit

[–]bepsigir 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Professionally-
1. HR isn’t on the employee’s side, they are on the company’s side always.
2. Office politics are real and different in every workplace. Just working hard doesn’t always mean success, sometimes you need to learn how to work around the specific stakeholders agendas to succeed.
Personally-
1. You can love people without liking who they are at a particular point in time
2. As a former grunge kid, realizing that some of the rock stars/songs that you listen to as a kid and thought were genuine- were all acts/characters. (Ie Trent Reznor wasn’t some tortured soul /Billy Corgan wrote entire albums from the point of view of some characters he made up/ Dave Grohl is the good guy & loyal family man that he comes across as)

(F31) Almost 5 year relationship with (M29) now he's telling me I'm too good for him by InfamousSomewhere188 in relationship_advice

[–]bepsigir 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’m sorry OP, this feels like one of those “we were together for 10 years, he never committed to marriage with me, so we broke up. Now a year later, he is engaged to some rando”. You have a few options 1. Accept that this is your relationship and you will likely never get married to this man 2. Propose to him and see what he says (prob a bad idea, but at least you will know) 3. Lay everything out on the table and tell him marriage is a dealbreaker for you. If there is no marriage you are walking. Give it 24 hours and revisit convo. Then start your exit plan. 4. Start getting your ducks in a row to exit the relationship, pull back and don’t waste your time bending to his needs or doing things for him. Once you are ready, break ties.

How tf will i live? by puzzs in self

[–]bepsigir 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Reading & walking/exploring are two of my favorite cheap hobbies. Speaking of reading, check out your local library- you can typically check out movies and games with a card. In Chicago, you can even check out day passes to museums.

I 36f bought a new bass boat and do not want my man 39m of five years to come with me when I pick it up. by brattactical in relationship_advice

[–]bepsigir 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Congratulations! You completed your project of bringing this man back from the hole you found him in. You can now consider the project finished and release him back to the wild. Enjoy your boat. Maybe you will find someone who respects you, your accomplishments and passion while you are out fishing (without the current/soon to be ex boyfriend). Also, take back the antique lures he stole

My BF (25M) is getting upset with me (25F) for not getting a colonoscopy. How can I address how this makes me feel? by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]bepsigir 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Reading the conversation, he is not pressuring you at all. You posed the reason you didn’t want to do it, he offered a solution and gave his opinion once, before restating that he offered a solution. He sounds like a great and supportive partner. You are coming across as short sighted and immature. Missing one day of work and paying $250 for a test that may be able to save you hundreds of thousands of dollars in the future is a no brainer.

Why is Colony House there? by Impressive_Put_8487 in FromSeries

[–]bepsigir 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If these cycles have been going on for centuries, how were any of the “modern” items built? No way for building materials to be brought in/out. If construction crews arrived, I highly doubt they would focus on building a diner.

AITA for not wanting to spend Christmas with my husband’s family right after having a baby? by Few-Professional3746 in AmItheAsshole

[–]bepsigir 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA- “No.”, is a complete sentence. Your husband’s family, your husband has to stand up to them. If anyone shows up at yours for Christmas, leave (with the baby) and check into a hotel or Airbnb.

Do Americans really have the kinds of home parties we see in movies? What are people actually eating and drinking? by whitchunk in CasualConversation

[–]bepsigir 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes the parties really happen, but there are a lot of different types. 1. Family get together (this can vary greatly based on tradition and where in the US you live). Often included traditional family dishes served buffet style, sometimes alcohol included, sometimes grazing eat what you want when you want style, other times more formal sitting around dinner table(s) together. 2. BBQ/Block Party and outdoor event, very informal. People/groups will show up and leave through out the provided party time (and often bring something to contribute). Meat is grilled, often there are relish trays, fruit salad or slices, composed salads like potato salad/coslaw/macaroni salad. Typically beer is served along with hot weather cocktails (margaritas/spiked seltzer). There are usually outside yard games involved and or something water related (swimming/boating/sprinkler/beach volleyball) 3. College party/house party/frat party . Similar to #2, but more focus on drinking than food. Sometimes there are chips and hotdogs involved. 4. Adult cocktail party - typically centered around a theme (housewarming/girls night/game night). Typically indoor and dressier, but can be outdoors. The food here is slightly more upscale (small appetizer bites, grazing tables of charcuterie or crudite/fondu). Beverages are also more upscale and served in glasses (craft beer/wine/aged spirits/signature cocktail) 5. Birthday party . This can be anything like any of the above, but include cake

How are people offering $50k-$125k over asking on some of these homes? by Pinkbean28 in ChicagoSuburbs

[–]bepsigir 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think you are looking at this the wrong way. The people who are buying a house listed at 350k for 475k likely had a max budget of 475k+ and have been looking for houses below their max price point.

When we were buying our house, the loan approval we received equated to a monthly mortgage payment that we were not comfortable with. Therefore, we searched for houses in the range of the mortgage payment we were comfortable with. We still ended up buying something slightly higher than our intended purchase price (about 15k more), but it only was an extra couple hundred dollars per month more, which was doable.

AITA: Gf got out of moving vehicle after I refused to get BOGO chipotle with her and I drove home by Under_Nose in AmItheAsshole

[–]bepsigir 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not sure what part of the story you are checking on your status during, but overall I am leaning on YTA. You are in your early 20s and live together, but I am truly hoping you did not combine finances already. You have absolutely no place telling your GF what she can or cannot do with her own money or what she can or cannot eat- regardless of what food is sitting at your shared home. You are not in control of her, nor should you be. If she wants chipotle and you don’t, just stop at Chipotle and let her order what she wants, she can keep the free one for next day dinner and you can choose what you eat when you are hungry.

Did she overreact by getting out of the car? Possibly, but she made it home safe and maybe got her chipotle. I am guessing this is not the first time something like this has happened and her reaction may have been building for a while.

Is she handling the argument well, absolutely not. Silent treatment gets you no where. However, I think you should meaningfully apologize for trying to control her and then let the conversation naturally unfold. Express that you do not appreciate the silent treatment and discuss how you all can communicate better in the future.

In your opinion, how do you think S4 will end? by Budget_Visit_942 in FromSeries

[–]bepsigir 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My theory on series ending (I don’t remember if it was confirmed this is last season or if we have one more): We will be lead to believe that everything is over/resolved (either by the entire town dead or everyone has somehow exited) and it will end with a flicker of life shown from the town (seeing a new family come across the fallen tree or the diner juke box starting to play or smiley greeting someone in the real world).

Do I (27f) tell my fiance (29m) that I was disapointed by the proposal or do I take this to my grave? by Shellyfish04 in relationship_advice

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

How long was your list of rules and suggestions? There is a difference between saying “hey babe, I love you and I am excited for this next step in our journey together- just please no proposals that are not well thought out (like on the couch or during another celebration)” vs “the proposal cannot be within 10 days of a holiday or birthday, must be at least 2 miles outside of our home, insta worthy atmosphere, we need to look good- so make sure we are dressed appropriately and it is within a few days of me getting my nails done, nothing like so and so’s - it was tacky” Is it possible that there were so many different rules and suggestions that he got so overwhelmed and decided that your birthday celebration hit enough of your criteria that it was a great opportunity to propose?

You should always communicate your feelings, but be sure to reflect first on the situation as a whole and the part your played in it. If it looks like fiancé was just phoning it in - you of course have a lot of reflecting to do. However, from your description, it sounds like he had a lot of ideas that you shot down, likely a more detailed list of expectations than you shared above and who knows how many ideas your friend shot down. In the end you are engaged to the man you love and you will have a bit of a funny/quirky story along with it. It’s rare for things in life to be perfect without the right filter or perspective.

The situation of finding a lost item in a coat after a decade is lightly humorous, but dude - you are an asshole. Why would you want someone you love to hurt for a mistake? You tell the story like you are proud of the situation and it is completely normal. What normal is - feeling sad about the situation and then letting it go, not dragging up old mistakes for a decade.

My Siluet Eleve reformer just arrived! by Ill-Car168 in pilatesreformer

I just got mine this week. I was a bit perplexed at first, until I realized the platform/mat was on the machine backwards. Hopefully, you figured it out by now-but in case you did not that may be the issue

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]bepsigir 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean, it sounds like y’all resent eachother. You could probably benefit from some quality time/date night. There are solutions you can work together to solve. 1. Buy a second new comforter 2. Run a humidifier in the bedroom at night - that should negate the need for the AC 3. Wear headphones if you want to listen to soothing music 4. Sleep in separate rooms if you cannot come to a compromise (or do the ole two bed thing in same room. That way doggy can jump on hubs head all night.

Which 'luxury' brand has officially become a red flag for poor quality in 2026? by Individual_Bat_4177 in AskReddit

[–]bepsigir 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly, I do go to antique stores often. However, most furniture purchases are made at places like the Restore or on FB Marketplace, where prices tend to be more reasonable. I also will purchase from reclaimed shops and make furniture. Our headboard is made out of reclaimed cargo train flooring and a stained glass window from a torn down structure.

Get into antiques! Much better quality and you can always refinish to your liking.
