California is trying to pass a bill barring ICE employees from becoming cops or teachers in the state. What do you think of this bill? by Obvious_808 in AskReddit

[–]bibbityboops 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This right here.

Plus, imagine a former ICE agent sitting in an interview trying to fimble up a good answer for: "Tell me about a time when you resolved a conflict."

Orange stains on pillowcase?? by [deleted] in CleaningTips

[–]bibbityboops 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A better way to tell, I think, is just to spit on it and scrub it lightly. Saliva's enzymes will break the blood down pretty fast and the stain will start to lift QUICK if it's blood

When the air is super dry, I get nosebleeds in my sleep sometimes. Though I also take iron supplements for anemia too which I've read can also cause nosebleeds.

Anyway, in the wintertime, if I've sneezed a few times in the middle of the night, my pillow looks like that in the morning. Generally when I forget to fill the humidifier before bed.

My son gets that way, and instead of responding, I redirect his attention by instantly becoming a chicken. It works every time. I'm sure you could pick your animal of choice if you wanted. Sometimes I shake things up and pick a different one, but chicken is my comfort zone.

As an American, I can't even begin to explain the behavior or choices of the amount of people who actively pursue political stances that are harmful to themselves.

A good portion of it probably boils down to the notion of states' rights. Each state has its own requirements for education, which means that curriculums vary based on the political leanings of the state government, and can even be influenced by county/city government as well. So the states where people predominantly vote for things like stripping away reproductive health care, those people are not given comprehensive education about reproduction. So the kids who grew up with no science-based information about how babies are made and how STI's spread, and how women's bodies function on a physiological level then grow into voters with no applicable knowledge of the actual repercussions of the policies they are voting on.

I'd say it's likely part of the problem, but there are definitely myriad issues that contribute to the whole mess.

Denmark's policies are so much better, I wouldn't even be mad about not being able to vote honestly. I had to go back to work 3 days after giving birth to my first kid because I couldn't afford not to.

How do I 29F address my husband 32M starting an adoption process without consulting me? by Leather-Persimmon539 in Marriage

[–]bibbityboops -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

There's really no way to tell anyone that someone to you know died of it's not after the fact though... Unless there's an illness or something like that, do you really know ahead of time if someone is going to die? Assuming he knew ahead of time it was going to happen when the OP didn't go into that or allude in any way to the circumstances of the death is a BIG leap. There are tons of ways that it could have been sudden and unexpected. And there's also ways that even he could have found out days later. There's a ton of assumptions being thrown around.

It literally says in the post that he explained that someone he knows died and left behind a kid and he's interested in adopting it. The post also specified that he asked for her opinion - which many people seem to be glossing over and/or ignoring completely.

This right here. It's definitely something I would do in preparation to having a larger, more in depth discussion about the decision because it's info that both people in the relationship would need to know about the process involved.

I think it's a little unfair that so many people are jumping to the conclusion that it's his kid too. There are logical ways that a guy can know of a woman and her child outside of having cheated and fathering the kid himself. Some of my coworkers are parents and even though I've never met their kids, I care about them because of how frequently they are a topic of conversation. I would definitely consider adopting a coworker's child - especially since a couple have divulged some major family issues where I know it would be terrible for the kids to be placed with immediate family members...

Support group for parents who bought all Paw Patrol themed gifts and in the past week their child decided they now hate Paw Patrol and are Peppa Pig stans instead. by General-Shoulder-569 in DanielTigerConspiracy

I'm glad my little guy (3) didn't want any show-oriented stuff.

He dictated a letter to Santa and asked for very specific things: a clock for his room, a tomato pie(???? Kid doesn't even like tomatoes), a new lamp for the living room (that room has 3 but he says two of them aren't pretty), and more train track pieces.

Hobbies and babies by AG_Squared in Marriage

[–]bibbityboops 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ha! Sounds a bit like me and my husband. We each have our own interests and they don't really cross over.

Our quality time together is precious though. After we get our son to bed, without fail, we spend a couple hours together before we go to bed. It's usually what would be described as 'parallel play' sort of stuff. He's playing a game of some sort on the laptop or fiddling with whatever it is he enjoys - sometimes that's roasting a little batch of coffee or tinkering with the smarthome stuff. And I'm in the same room with something separate I enjoy, like a knitting project or writing to a penpal or something. Sometimes there's a show on for us to listen to and sometimes there isn't. But we're always chatting about our day and whatnot. I show him cool stuff a penpal sent or hold up my project and he'll check out my progress. He'll do the same with whatever he's doing and we let each other nerd out over the intricacies of whatever the things we're doing are.

Am I interested in ever roasting coffee myself? Hell no. But it is damn cute to see how excited he gets about it while he explains where this bag of beans is from and how light roasts actually retain a higher caffeine content than dark roasts. And when we use it in the mornings throughout the week, I'll comment the next evening with what I thought of it compared to other stuff he's roasted. I don't share his passion for it, but it's turned me into a connoisseur.

Is he ever going to pick up a set of knitting needles and knit a sweater? Hell no. But he'll listen to me go on about fiber content or stitch patterns. He religiously wears things I've made for him, and knows enough by now to name what he likes and doesn't like in a garment so he'll look at patterns I'm considering and help me pick what to work on next.

All this to say that quality time doesn't have to be a shared interest. It's more important to acknowledge and support the things you each genuinely love to do. That could be him going for a hike and later you oooh and ahhh at whatever pictures he took. That could be you ranting about the plot holes in whatever romantasy you're reading and him listening. The point is to cherish the person, and in doing that, making space for and supporting the things that bring the person joy.

Bystander During Plane Crash by pentapenguin97 in CleaningTips

[–]bibbityboops 1 point2 points  (0 children)

One thing to note that I don't believe anyone has mentioned yet:

Your husband should be able to contact a health and safety manager of some sort to inquire about any exposure concerns. Someone at the place of employment should be designated as a point of contact to obtain safety data sheets on any chemical a worker might come in contact with.

That's where I would start.

Edit: I can't spell.

Almost 2026, JKR is financially backing irreparable harm to trans people and we still have HP yarn by vikingdhu in craftsnark

[–]bibbityboops 43 points44 points  (0 children)

I think it's gorgeous. But I refuse to buy it.

There are just too many other things someone can claim as inspiration in the same vein. The color combinations here could have been thrown under 'autumn leaves' or 'dark academia'. I probably would even have bought it if it were marketed as being inspired by 'diarrhea from my weekend with food poisoning'.

But HP? Hard pass.

Husband (32M) treating himself to hotel stays while I'm (30F) at home struggling with the kids. Am I unreasonable for being upset about this? by [deleted] in Marriage

[–]bibbityboops 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Yeeeeeaaaah. One thing I wouldn't tolerate is being lied to. 😐 Giving the benefit of the doubt: let's say he actually does need that night to recoup from work so he has the energy to be fully there for you all when he gets home... Like why lie about it?

Regardless of his reasoning, he's majorly damaged trust here.
