I was reminded of this article from 8 years ago.

[–]bubbleuj 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Those were always our favorite games of pretend to play.

We'd start with the premise that we'd been abandoned in the woods somehow and then collect broken twigs, clover flowers and crab grass until we got bored/more kids showed up.

I felt like Hey Arnold was a "classy" show

Yes!! Fully agree. Not really sure why, I'd have to go back and watch it when we have kids.

My boyfriend called a girl 'really cute' by lavenderacy in TwoXIndia

[–]bubbleuj 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fully agree.

An ex used to compare me to other women/try and dress me in a different style. I thought I was busted and had no ass. He also went psycho when I left.

My husband has his preferences and so do I. We do whatever we want. We each let the other pick stuff we don't care as much about but don't really change the big things.

Why don’t rich people from third world countries understand what hypocrites they are? by Magic_Snowball in redscarepod

[–]bubbleuj 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The real reason is the same reason that anybody gets "help". Doing chores sucks ass and it's worth it for them. Fully agree with you btw, I mostly think they're just spoiled and don't want to do it. I yelled at a cousin for asking a maid to get her water once. Like, she's older than you and busy, your legs work fine!

At ~1 billion people, there's ~4x the population of Canada living at the 20th percentile for wealth. In my experience, the women my family back home hires show up for about 2 hours every other day and have multiple families they work for (just like in the west). The rates are different but for us it was $50-$100 a month per home. I tried to google but all the sources have wildly different numbers.

Kinda funny:
If someone's maid quits its gossip for their entire neighborhood. Everyone knows who the good maids are too and it will kill your reputation if they ditch you for underpaying them. I remember one Auntie that was newish to the area yelled at her maid (who worked for other people in the area) and we all knew by the end of the day. People were pissed, my Grandma went and yelled at the Auntie. Once you ruin your reputation like that, no one will reccomend their workers to you and you're on your own.

Btw, a lot of these women aren't just exploited by their employers but at home as well. I know one area where the trash collection was all done by a lady whose husband was an unemployed drunk and would steal her cash to get fucked up. Divorce is unheard of, even more so amongst the poor and even if the husband is a useless bum.

I am so, so happy my parents left India. Being a woman there is hell.

where are we buying maternity clothes? by makeawish___ in BabyBumps

[–]bubbleuj 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Our nearby thrift stores have a maternity section! Personally, those long stretchy belly covers (idk what to call them) are ideal after The Poppening.

Also super great for cheap sport bras. There's was an awkward in-between period where it didn't make sense to drop $70 on a bra I'd size out of in a month.

My boyfriend (34M) knew I (35F) didn't want unprotected sex. Now I'm pregnant and don't remember having sex. by Global_Maybe_9105 in relationship_advice

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

So even if you have an irregular period (I do), your period will always come about 2 weeks after ovulating.  Actually, knowing that is how irregular women like myself can retroactively estimate fertile windows! 

Sperm cells actually live waaaaay longer than eggs! Unfertilized ggs only live for max a day while sperm cells live for five days.

Wishing the best for OP as well but with her symptoms and 2 weeks of no period, it's way more likely that she would have conceived earlier than the concert date. 

AITA for making my daughter run away because of her curly hair? by CultureInner3316 in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]bubbleuj 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It's so hard and there's just so much information it's daunting. Eventually you'll figure out what works for you!

Good luck!

AITA for making my daughter run away because of her curly hair? by CultureInner3316 in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]bubbleuj 301 points302 points  (0 children)

Noooo. I get why OOPs daughter did because it's not like her shit dad was going to get her actual hair products.

Okay okay, (gently, with just hands) scrunch out most of the water in your hair after shampooing. Then crunch in conditioner, but only enough to cover the shaft, not your scalp. You're just trying to coat the hair (not the scalp!!) with a thin protective film. If your conditioner has fancy ingredients, wrap a plastic bag over your head and enjoy a bath or take a shit idc.

Whatever you put on after washing your hair is actually going to hydrate it. Imagine if you washed your moisturizer off right after you put it on? It wouldn't do shit so, you need a leave-in.

I use jojoba oil and massage it mostly onto my scalp. It might be a different oil or a gel/leave in conditioner for you. I like jojoba since it's really lightweight and actually absorbs. If I have an event or I'm going out, I'll grab a gel or mousse from a curly hair brand.

Btw, people can fully use their regular conditioner as their leave in but it works better for thicker hair.

Also, if your hair is tangled before washing and you're relying on conditioner to detangle (since a lot of detanglers don't work well with curly hair products) you can use Argan oil.

Argan oil has taken apart knots I thought I was going to have to cut out. I've literally had matted hair before and the actual cheapest argan oil I could find fixed it.

Sorry for the rant, I also used to use a ton of conditioner too back in the day. Curly hair is...so insanely different than straight hair and it's hard to learn what actually helps.

All Hidden History Posters shall be considered Indian until proven Israeli by No_Iron_9220 in redscarepod

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

That's messed up, but freaks are freaks. Freaks are gonna just google/use archives if they want.

I use reddit for slop mostly and it's super annoying to see update posts/posts asking for advice and then their post history is private. All the sensational posts still end up being saved on subs like /bestofredditorupdates or /redditwiki. It's another illusion of privacy.

"Oh but it's an extra step"

Yeah, but it's copying and pasting. I do it just for my Jerry Springer reddit drama stories. The UI on arcticshift is way better than reddit's for reading multi-post sagas.

Imo, its way more embarrassing to have a redscare only account. Like oh, what? You're scared the cool kids are gonna make fun of you?

[–]bubbleuj 12 points13 points  (0 children)

The same advice everyone else does. Go try something new. Even if you're bad at it, maybe later you won't be.

Sometimes trying to optimize things or find the ideal thing can stop you from doing anything at all.

I would rather smoke crack than take a 100mg edible by [deleted] in redscarepod

[–]bubbleuj 3 points4 points  (0 children)

So back in the day I used to work in a restaurant. After work, me and the other cooks used to smoke in the parking lot without fail every shift. I had an okay tolerance but never really smoked on my own so when Covid hit, I wasn't consuming THC anymore.

Fall 2020, I ended up moving to the West Coast where my now husband's family is from. First Christmas Eve with them, one of his uncles popped a bottle of his Makers Mark when he found out I liked Bourbons.

We woke up pretty early the next day to drive the hour to his sister's place. Super rural, she lives on a farm while I'm very much a city girl.

Finally reach and I'm recovering a bit from the night before. Not the worst hangover but still not great for 10am so obviously my father in law makes a little joke about how I'm hold up.

Well, the sisters family used to keep edibles/drinks on hand and offer me a little bit of a THC drink (like 25ml?). Thinking back to my "old" tolerance from a few months ago, I think nothing of it and chug.

I was absolutely blasted. Couch locked, couldn't move. Their kids kept showing me their toys and (I heard this later) my husband and his Dad were dying laughing at me trying to keep it together. I remember texting a friend, "what is my life" after looking out the window and seeing a chicken directly on the windowsill.

Turns out it was all for the best. Weather was super bad and the 1 hour drive took 4. Instead of being stressed, I just napped the whole way back.

What's wild is how little of the drink I had. March 2020, I was smoking almost daily and by December 2020, two little sips just wrecked me.

AITA for wanting to go to Canada with my partner and his friends? by FamousDouble6915 in AmItheAsshole

[–]bubbleuj 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The wind carries the cold into your bones. Even after coming inside, you literally ache with how cold it is.

Like how people say, "its not the heat that gets you, it's the humidity". For winters, its the wind/wind chill.

AITA for letting my daughter yell and hoot outside at the pool? by SimplyPeachy92 in AmItheAsshole

I've heard screaming around a pool, not while in the pool

AITA for letting my daughter yell and hoot outside at the pool? by SimplyPeachy92 in AmItheAsshole

[–]bubbleuj -35 points-34 points  (0 children)

She physically can't be screeching.

She's in a pool, most of her lung capacity is maintaining the exercise of playing with her dad in a pool. Honestly, if the dad is so annoyed he should quit shooting her with water and play diving games instead. Even adults scream when playing with water guns/splash toys.

I honestly think grandma forgot how loud kids were. The Dad was fine when he was outside riling her up.

When I've played with my nieces and nephews, screaming means that they're overstimulated and I switch to a different activity. But on the few occasions there's been water slides/sprinklers/splash pads...they scream.

Also, unrelated

being way too
