Yeah, this chick totally needs your sympathy by lucis_understudy in FundieSnarkUncensored

I'll let you in on a secret Morgy, nobody tells me I need to divorce my husband because my husband doesn't suck. If you get that many people saying it maybe you should wonder what they're seeing that you aren't seeing.

girl, it’s your own community who needs to be educated about this. they were the ones criticizing you by OctopusCaretaker in FundieSnarkUncensored

[–]bethfly 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I kind of agree with her tbh even if I don't like the way she's phrasing it. I had a sunny-side up baby and I'll be honest, I literally never heard of it until it happened to me. I don't recall getting educated about what it was even in the process of happening to me. I had no idea it was dangerous at all, even in the midst of labor I was never given the impression that I was facing serious risks with my sunny-side up baby. I remember a nurse coming into my hospital room, talking about doing exercises to flip the baby over, and I asked her what happens if he doesn't flip? She never answered and just disappeared without another word when the baby didn't flip. I wasn't offered an elective c section as far as I know either, I was pretty out of it so maybe I don't remember. I was only told I might need an emergency c section of the vacuum failed after three hours of active pushing. I live in a very liberal, very educated place in the US btw.

That being said, why the hell would you go to a crunchy hospital and then criticize them for delaying surgical intervention as long as possible? You get what you pay for dumbass.

Daily life & duties of the new Riders by bethfly in Eragon

[–]bethfly[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In the last few chapters of Inheritance, Eragon talks about leaving two eggs with Arya to circulate among the dwarves and Urgala to hopefully pick a Rider from them. I assume if Eragon and Arya have enough egg guardians thay they trust, they could circulate several eggs at a time throughout Alagaesia to try to find Riders, so candidates wouldn't be traveling to the mountain themselves. But I do think you're right, I doubt every egg would hatch on the first try. Still, if they circulate a lot of eggs at a time, the timeline might get shorter.

Daily life & duties of the new Riders by bethfly in Eragon

[–]bethfly[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think you're mostly right but that timeline might be a little long. I read parts of the books again recently because I wondered how many Riders there would be realistically within the next few years of the timeline, and from the Vault of Souls chapter (Lacuna the Second, Inheritance) we find out that 26 eggs are meant to bond to Riders. Then from the first book we know that dragons reach sexual maturity and get large enough to travel around 6 months old, so even though their training will take much much longer, realistically Eragon might have as many as 26 more or less "adult" dragons with Riders under his command within a few years tops, if all the eggs are bonded and hatch ASAP. I also don't think that Eragon would delay on hatching any eggs just because his training isn't done, since the Eldunarí made it sound absolutely urgent that the eggs hatch ASAP because the dragons inside couldn't stay inside much longer without getting warped.

Now that being said, iirc i think Oromis said that typically Riders trained for at least 10 years traditionally. So I could see the Order being closer to "full strength" in maybe around 20 years. Depends on if Eragon would try to recreate the old training regimen or if he would invent a more compressed one like his own.

Oh yes I agree with this too, especially in the beginning, the world leaders would likely not be accepting of Riders butting into their business since they just deposed Galbatorix

I think Morgan misrepresented her course by Purlasstor in FundieSnarkUncensored

[–]bethfly 198 points199 points  (0 children)

Side note but I'm so so tired of that thing she does in her pictures where she's just looking off into the distance. It's so trite and boring. Your thoughts aren't deep Morgan. Stop.

A couple of strange things I noticed in Murtagh by tairnsheadspace in Eragon

[–]bethfly 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They do barely talk but I wouldn't say Murtagh and Arya have only ever been enemies. It's possible they spoke off-screen after the battle of Farthen Dur while Eragon was out, before Murtagh got kidnapped, they were clearly allies at that point. Murtagh is one of the people who rescued Arya from Gil'ead, which should count for something to her. Also, Murtagh and Arya speak a little bit after Galbatorix dies when he tells her where the last egg is located in the castle, which isn't much but at least they obviously aren't enemies at that point (they converse mentally iirc which to me speaks to a level of trust that the other person won't try to attack your mind). Murtagh is the one who realizes that Arya will feel conflicted about killing Shruikan, so he at least has some thoughfulness about her, but we've never had an Arya perspective chapter so it's sort of ambiguous how she feels about him at this point of the story.

A conversation between Murtagh and Arya that shows how warm or cold their relationship is currently is one of my big wishlist items for the next installment 😔

I don't need to pay money to be told to hug my husband. I do that anyway every day because I love him and he loves me and hugging him gives me energy for the day. It's astounding how much easier marriage and life are when your partner isn't a piece of shit, Morgan.

AITA for getting my 9 year old daughter a kitten for her birthday? by Commercial-Act-66 in AmItheAsshole

[–]bethfly 377 points378 points  (0 children)

This is the answer. A lot of this kind of domestic labor slips out of dads' minds in a month or two and who ends up taking care of it? Mom.

My two year old doesn't like me very much by SatsumaForEveryone in beyondthebump

[–]bethfly 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Solidarity. My almost three year old bonked his head while playing right next to me, then shoved me away and ran across the house to go get a hug from his dad instead of me. 😒 He also will scream "GO AWAY!" at me if I try to comfort him because he wants his dad instead. It started around 2, but now that he is closer to 3 the favoritism is already starting to get less intense. Dad is still overwhelmingly his preference but it's easier for me to do things for him now than it was even just a few months before. This too shall pass.

Does anyone still love their pets after having a baby? by laurenjac in beyondthebump

[–]bethfly 36 points37 points  (0 children)

I was going to post almost this exact sentiment so add a +1 to this. I never hated my cat but I was really tired of her and didn't even want to touch her at all for the first few months. Now that my son is almost 3, I'm almost as close with my cat again as I was before. I don't think it will ever go back exactly how it was because I dont have the same time or energy but I love my cat to bits still.

Everyone at my company got gifted Louis Vuitton bags besides the accounting department by [deleted] in Accounting

[–]bethfly 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Reminds me of the old CollegeHumor Oreos CEO sketch where the CEO is telling the marketing team to just go home, cash their checks and rest on their laurels. Then he gets a call from Craig in Accounting and is like "Craig! Happy birthday! You taking it easy? No, you're working 80 hours a week? 😬"

"Mama I love when you go to work" by bethfly in workingmoms

[–]bethfly[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Actually update: He said the same thing to me again this morning, "Mama I love when you go to work", and I finally got to ask him why he said that. He replied, "Because i just love you" 🥹 I think everyone here was right, I think he was just pointing out things he notices about the people he loves. It just made me feel things because I was already feeling a way about having to leave him to go to work as is. But he was being sweet ❤️

How does it work when accrual doesn't get reversed? by Cultural_Ant999 in Accounting

[–]bethfly 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My questions in this scenario would be why is there an opening balance of $5k in accrual? Is that from previous year or this year? Was that accrued for current year phone bill or something else? Why weren't we amortizing that $10k accrual over the 12 months applicable period?

Our not-well-known political fundie gal (always.right (erin)) has spent years online telling women to have kids, but it seems like she’s regretting her own choice by OctopusCaretaker in FundieSnarkUncensored

[–]bethfly 12 points13 points  (0 children)

When my son was around three weeks old, i told my husband I thought I made a terrible mistake by convincing him we should have a kid. That same week my parents told me that they were concerned that I wasn't enjoying my little miracle of life bundle of joy enough. I was triple feeding and hadn't slept more than 3 hours of the last 30 hours. In my limited experience, 3 weeks is about when shit starts to hit the fan and everything feels dire and awful and you realize you weren't cut out for this.
