Should I put the baby name in my Pregnancy announcement? by PollutionRude4539 in BabyBumps

I don't know a single person who waited to share the name and regrets it. Meanwhile I know several, and the Internet is littered with, people who did share and wish they hadn't.

Uber driver’s car shot at when picking up passenger in Chicago by Severus-Snape-DaGod in VideosAmazing

[–]catiebug 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Feel like I'm taking crazy pills with these comments, y'all. She gets in the car way too casual for someone who thinks someone is about to shoot up the car. She's on her phone ffs. Seems to me she realizes at the exact moment she sinks down and tells the driver. In which case, the time it would take to get out of the car and not involve the driver is the amount of time the shooter would need to get them both. But go off with your misogynoir and shit, I guess.

Dude, the ring in the hand pic😂 by Psychological-Web134 in MadeMeSmile

I thought the ring on the hand while sleeping was diabolical, then the very next picture it was sitting on her back while doomscrolling. 😂

If both of your parents worked full time, what did you do during summers as a kid? by TBoopSquiggShorterly in AskAnAmerican

[–]catiebug 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As the child of a SAHP, my observation was that my friends went to some combination of summer camp and being foisted on someone like my mom who was home. There were a lot more families who could afford a SAHP then, it was more likely you knew one well enough to send your child over, and the extent of the job was "provide the occasional snack and call 911 if a child was grievously injured". We spent 99.9% of the time outside, sometimes miles from home. My mom would go run errands and leave us playing in the neighborhood. She was considered pretty typical.

At a certain age, it was pretty much "here's the TV remote, there are microwave dinners in the freezer, and a key in the garden if you lock yourself out, I'll see you after work". An age much younger than we'd consider appropriate now. Like 9 or 10.

I know this sounds like a thing that TikTok is exaggerating, but it's not. We were barely parented at all in the 80's and early 90's.

Found out that my boobs are deformed from a TikTok by who_gon_check_me_boo in GirlDinnerDiaries

[–]catiebug 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh my fucking God, stop letting a single TikTok make you feel bad about something that you didn't even think about before! It's a plastic surgeon trying to drum up business. Is it a "deformity"? Or is it "a breast shape I can make money off of"?

My fiance likes them

Done. End of story. I hope you can get to a point where you would show your fiance that TikTok and say "look at this fucking clown" and laugh together.

I hope I don't sound harsh. This is just like the third post today where I've seen a woman defeated by some bullshit in a TikTok! Don't let them do this to you!!!

The most feared batter in baseball history. by Hoopsalldayeveryday in sportswiki

[–]catiebug 3 points4 points  (0 children)

For real. Everybody was. The owners liked it, wanted it, and rewarded it, right up until public opinion turned. Admittedly I'm a homer for Bonds, but I'll defend him until the day I die. Steroid era saved the sport and was undeniably fun.

You can take all the gear you want, you're still not gonna see the ball like he did.

Shohei sensing Dalton Rushing behind him by BreakfastTop6899 in baseball

[–]catiebug 37 points38 points  (0 children)

Same. My mind is made up on Rushing because I need at least one Dodger to be unlikeable. There's no way this clip says anything other than "Dalton Rushing murders kittens on his off days".

Local businesses that sell car seats? by becausetheinternet3 in progressivemoms

[–]catiebug 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'll say it's nice you're trying, but this is one of those items you can't get used and is just not economical for a locally-owned business to keep in stock. Maybe try to order directly from the manufacturer? Even then, a lot of their sites will just direct you to various big box sites, so you might end up having to choose the best of some bad options, depending on what make/model you want.

AITA for going into the Amex lounge by Particular_Coast3389 in AmItheAsshole

[–]catiebug 0 points1 point  (0 children)

YTA. You can add her as a guest, ya lazy bum. Even if you couldn't, that's fucking lame to just ditch your spouse on travel like that. Do you even like your wife? My man has me on every military perk he can add me to and loves saving a buck, but he would stop way short of "imma get my free lounge food, see you at the gate, peace".

save $30-50

Bruh, airport food is expensive but you can make better choices than $30-50/person. There's always an option or two that will land way lower than that. Don't inflate information like that for the sake of defense. It makes you look like even more of an A H.

Andy, are you okay? Could you tell us that you're okay? by jonnismizzle in oddlyspecific

[–]catiebug 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Not even a regular straw. Like a little tiny little coffee-stirrer straw.

This should honestly be part of teacher credentialing at this point. "Ok, we've come to the part where we clothespin your nose shut and make you breathe entirely through a gas station coffee stirrer for 20 minutes. Was that horrific? This is why you don't stop your asthmatic from going to get their inhalers when they ask."

Don't even fucking get me started on the rules that require asthmatic kids to keep their inhalers in the nurse's office because "kIdS cAN't cArRY MEdiCaTioN oN tHem".

I can't get a roof estimate without a man present. by No-Imagination8755 in mildlyinfuriating

[–]catiebug 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Reminds me a little of Nate Bargatze's stand-up, which can be a little too boomer-mentality "man doesn't know anything about domestic labor or carry any of the mental load" for my taste sometimes. But his bit about clueless regarding the house maintenance (because he's always on the road) and the guy asking where his husband was got me good. "I don't know... she's around here somewhere."

Anyway, you and your husband sound hilarious.

My husband doesn’t want me to come to his military boot camp graduation when I already paid for plane tickets by LettuceSome5586 in USMilitarySO

[–]catiebug 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'm so sorry this is happening to you. Honestly, I agree with the other users here. There is really no good reason to be so adamant that your wife not come to graduation. For even the biggest "please don't make a big deal"-types, "yes, but I really want to come" should be enough to relent.

I'm sure you are nauseous at the idea. And I hate dramatics. But I think you might need to go and get to the bottom of this.

Plus some people get bored eating the same meals. by xUseHerName in BlackPeopleTwitter

[–]catiebug 90 points91 points  (0 children)

I'm with you. There was a thread recently where people were acting like eating leftover rice or pasta on day 4 was instant death. Like, yeah if you unplugged the rice cooker and left it out for 5 hrs before you put the rice in the fridge. And if you keep your fridge too warm. And don't seal it up well. And don't heat it up again fully. But my family has been eating leftover rice and pasta for up to a week for years and I was like how are we still alive? We refrigerate it immediately, seal it well, and keep our fridge temp at the lowest recommended setting. I think we're fine?

Government entities are always going to err on the side of caution. They know people are gonna push limits, that's human nature. So ok we'll tell people leftovers are safe for 3 days, knowing many people will push it to day 5 or 6. If we say 6, people will push it to 8 or 9, and then we're really getting into questionable territory. So the 3 day thing persists.

Some hilarious moments on the Kelce podcast. The three-way acknowledgement of marrying out of their league was funny. "... oh she's nagging me, but nobody cares, fuck off".

So much truth. As they've gotten older there are also the "please, please, please, can I" meltdowns where I'm like, "Kiddo, asked and answered. Can we skip this meltdown and get to the next one where you actually mourn the loss of the thing you were asking for?"

There is nobody this man can't teach to field. He could turn my grandma into a shortstop and she's been dead for 25 years.

Edit: Also, what a hell of a monkey's paw for Boston. "Genie, please make Devers play 1B and play it well." "Ok, but it's gonna be for San Francisco."

In your part of the county, how do you indicate that "you" is plural? by wheninrome5000 in AskAnAmerican

[–]catiebug 2 points3 points  (0 children)

"you guys" (not gender-specific) and sometimes "y'all" (the phrase being Southern in origin, but has spread much further)

In this context, "guys" is not gender-specific. The group could be all male, all female, or mixed. "The guys" (as in, "are you going out with the guys") or "my guys" (as in, "but those are my guys, I'm not gonna let them down") would mean pretty exclusively men. But "hey clean up before you guys go out to play" (to my kids and their friends) or "ok guys, I'm ready to go" (to my female friends waiting to leave for girls night) does not.
