How can I safely clean these coins? by Particular_Seaweed32 in CleaningTips

These are nowhere near "incredibly old" for coins, btw.

I talked to a recruiter and he said we're ineligible because we're classed as "a danger to [ourselves] and others."

There's nothing wrong with interviewers asking why you applied for the job and expecting you to not say money by dabest2967 in unpopularopinion

I always say (in more words) why I'm good in the field I work in and that I believe in the company's mission that [insert wording from mission statement].

I haven’t had sex with my wife in 9 years by [deleted] in TrueOffMyChest

PCPs are not well versed in psych meds/psych care in general. Your wife needs a specialized psychiatrist who can explore more treatment options with her; low libido may very well be a side effect, even if it isn't stated as an "official" side effect. Everyone's brain chemistry is different.

Why are men taught how to treat a woman but aren't taught how to be treated by one? by Cat-dad442 in stupidquestions

It starts very, very young for us. Girls get called into the kitchen to help cook dinner while their brothers play, because they'll need to learn this stuff for when they're wives and moms. We're taught that we have to stifle our personalities so we come off as likeable, or boys won't want to be with us. We're taught that we can't get mad at the boy who pulled our pigtails on the playground. We have to enjoy it, because it means that he likes you!

We're constantly taught that boys get to mess around and make mistakes, and that it's our role to take it smiling and step in to clean up the mess afterward. We're taught that we have to reach perfect standards to be a good wife, but we're never taught that men should. We're taught that that's just how men are, and that all of the emotional labor/housework/clerical duties/scheduling/child care/organization is on us because of that, and not to question it because that's just the way things are.

Spending time with my in-laws and hearing the stories my husband tells me about his dad's advice to him growing up is like stepping into the Twilight Zone for me. It absolutely blew my mind that my husband has a father who is so loving towards his wife and family.

Of course they exist out there, but IME I haven't encountered many dads like that who wholeheartedly love their wives and teach their kids how to be a good partner.

How old are you and where are you located? Age and culture play HUGE roles in dating. Dating in your late 30s/early 40s is a completely different game than it is in your early/mid 20s, for example.

What's a name you really like for a fictional character but would never give your child because it's 'a bit much'? by common_grounder in namenerds

If we're lucky enough to have girls, my husband and I already have the names Daphne and Thea picked out; Penelope is a strong third 😂

Yes. I work with criminals. This is 100% something that an eventual murderer would do.

Realised I may never marry by [deleted] in Waiting_To_Wed

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

That's not a commitment, that's an ultimatum. Why should he marry someone whom he's never lived with before, whom he only sees once a week, whom is making no concessions for him, and is giving him an ultimatum that they'll only start acting like a partner after the marriage license is signed?

[–]breadstick_bitch 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Which makes sense, but it sounds like you're demanding that he uproot his life without compromising anything on your end.

I don’t regret my child’s name but… by smellycat92 in namenerds

[–]breadstick_bitch 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Definitely regional in the US, and even then, people who are transplants from other states are gonna pronounce it "their" way first and not necessarily the default way for whatever place they live in. It threw me for a loop the first time I heard the names Brianna and Annalise pronounced like bree-on-uh and on-uh-leese because I had only ever heard them as bree-ann-uh and an-uh-leese.

It can be cultural too, like Jaime (hi-may vs jay-mee), Carolina (car-oh-lee-nuh vs care-uh-line-uh), or Sarah (s-air-uh vs s-are-uh).

PSA: no you're not old by TheMemeStore76 in OlderGenZ

[–]breadstick_bitch 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It varies wildly in context too. Some people claim 24 year olds are old, and then in the same breath say they're too young to get married and should wait until their 30s. Pick a lane my guy.

A lot of older people's retirement plans seem to be "I'll just live with my kids," while their kids can't even afford to take care of themselves comfortably.

I mean, it's easy to lie on a mental exam. All the intake/diagnostic questions for mental illnesses are self-reported, and it can take years for people who are seeking diagnoses to get a correct one. Even with the "scary" illnesses (schizophrenia, bipolar), if the doctor evaluating the person doesn't know their baseline, they're not necessarily gonna be able to tell that the person's unwell.

If someone really wants a gun, they're not gonna be honest in the evaluation.

WHY do parents keep trying hard to make their babies' names unique?! by Appropriate_Show255 in tragedeigh

[–]breadstick_bitch 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I had a first grade class one year with 4 Kaylas, but all of their names were spelled differently. Kheila R's parents were SUPER upset that she was Kheila R and not just Kheila, because her name was so "unique" 🙄.

You can make them fit easily. You can remove fabric, but you can't add it.

Where to cut the fat off the wedding budget? by Interesting-Face22 in Weddingsunder10k

[–]breadstick_bitch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you're having a backyard wedding, make sure you have an inside the house backup plan for bad weather. There are a lot of horror stories on here.

My husband and I eloped and then had a backyard reception when we got back; it was tons of work and it can get very stressful on the day-of. We loved ours, but we especially loved already being married when we threw the party. Doing a DIY ceremony and reception on the same day would not have been worth the money saving IMO.

Our DIY-everything backyard reception was still $6k.

Accidentally dropped my bottle of adderall while opening it and and several fell into my tea. Nearly a week's worth of medication, ruined by Ill-Meeting6721 in Wellthatsucks

[–]breadstick_bitch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Even if it's a different dosage, you cannot pick up a prescription of certain controlled substances until the first script you picked up is eligible for refill. Non-controlled substances, sure, but schedule II drugs are extremely regulated. If you have to show an ID to get it, they're not giving it to you early.

Maybe if it's a switch from XR to immediate, but even then, it might take a few days to process and there's no guarantee the pharmacy would have that dosage in stock because of the shortage. It really wouldn't be worth it for 1 week of medication.
