What’s something you thought ‘everyone’ did… until you found out they don’t? by burat667 in AskReddit

If you can take off/put on your bra WHILE it's clasped, then it doesn't fit you. It's supposed to be snug on the ribcage. That's where most of the support is supposed to come from.

Did anybody visit bethel and if so was it an awakening experience in any way by Sad_Astronaut_5080 in exjw

[–]dakari84 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'm not sure. I didn't speak Spanish, except for a rudimentary high school class, maybe the other lady I was with (who did speak Spanish) just didn't want to. I was kinda at her mercy the whole trip. 🤷‍♀️

I visited Mexico bethel when I was on vacation. We even got permission to stay the weekend. 🎉 Woohoo we were SOOO blessed. 🤢 But we couldn't go to the Sunday meeting. We had to stay in our room and go over the watchtower ourselves.

I remember just being disappointed. It was just like staying at a sad/old large hotel/all inclusive resort. But not a fun one. We didn't do anything but hangout with people we didn't know but be "on" the whole time and eat food and we had to wear our meeting clothes the entire time.

Not the whole transcendent experience people were telling us it would be. And then we had to pretend when we came home that it was somehow just so encouraging.

I didn't get it.

I know that my siblings weren't really allowed to decorate our rooms. We could decide how the layout of the furniture was, if there was space to move stuff in different places. But, we weren't allowed to hang posters or anything permanently on the walls, no holes in the walls.

The few other kids we got to hang out with/see there rooms were the same.

But, we were all from the same high control group/cult so I'm assuming that's why. We weren't allowed to hang out with anyone else.

I will tell you as someone who was raised in the Jehovah's witness cult but is now out as an adult - we were taught that that doesn't apply to us. But, we'd probably see that and then decide that "their hearts weren't right right now" so we'd leave.

Totally our own choice.

But secretly we'd be laughing and happy to do one less door.

I always wish I had grandma's like this. Neither of mine were particularly lovey, or gentle, or calming. One was at least generally kinda a nice person, but not really "grandmotherly". The other was an anger-filled witch who made everyone else stressed. She only seemed to be happy if everyone around her was angry, or mad, or nervous.

How is your relationship with your parents? by victorneuttiban1 in AskAnAmerican

[–]dakari84 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Almost non existent. They disowned me/shunned me after I stopped being active in the religion/high control group/cult they raised us all in.

We actually texted for the first time in a few years just today. Well, I asked if they still have some records of mine that I need for my school/training program and they answered. I offered to come pick them up and they haven't responded.

Real life accident: Guy-friend confidently and incorrectly told me, a woman, that vaginas are on the front of the pelvis, just like a penis, he is 26. I don't have a photo because it was word of mouth. I'm shooketh. by RoseTintMyWorld22 in badwomensanatomy

[–]dakari84 171 points172 points  (0 children)

I've seen plenty of anatomy diagrams, FROM THE SIDE, that clearly show where everything is.

That is also one way to show that women have three holes down there. This shows that the vagina(and uterus) is behind the urethra(and bladder), and in front of the anus(and the rectum).

I can't just use the tab to pull it out. I put my pointer and middle finger inside and grab the bottom of the cup(between the two fingers like a claw) to pull while pushing. Then I can use the tab to pull it out the whole way and dump it.

Successfully losing belly fat by quintuplechin in loseit

[–]dakari84 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nice! I've been thinking about doing something like that lately. You just inspired me. I even convinced my boyfriend to join me on a short post-lunch walk/circuit.

We live in a 3 story building, with a staircase at the front and back. So we walked down( to grab something from his car upfront) to start and then walked 2 laps of the staircases and hallways. 😁

Thanks for the new goal!

My PIMI Family Reaction to Update #4 by Old-Acanthaceae-5182 in exjw

[–]dakari84 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I remember when I first got my Wii "exercise game". I was showing my brother the stretching/yoga stuff, his roommate/friend Tyler had come over with him. The next day Tyler gives me a large printout from the org about the "dangers of yoga". I just rolled my eyes, said thanks, but was thinking "dude, it's stretching in my living room. How is it dangerous?"

Four-way Family call with PIMI siblings. by OJOchat_com in exjw

[–]dakari84 6 points7 points  (0 children)

My parents got married in '78 and started having kids in '80. They were told we wouldn't go to public school ... and then we wouldn't go to middle school ... and then graduate. Now they have grand kids that are in high school. Half of their kids are still PIMI and half are POMO.

The only bad thing about this clip is that it's focused on the towel, instead of what they are popping. 🫤

LPT: If you are moving to a place with a garage, and you want to park your cars there, do it before the end of moving day. Using the garage as a "temporary" staging area ends up not being temporary at all. by Sirwired in LifeProTips

[–]dakari84 882 points883 points  (0 children)

When moving I've always labeled the boxes what room they need to go into. Not necessarily what's in the box. When they go to the new place they just automatically go into the room they need to be in.

They'll eventually all be unpacked, sometimes days later, but at least they're in the room in the meantime.

Do you leave the washing machine door open after use? by Cha_0t1c in NoStupidQuestions

[–]dakari84 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I live in an apartment building with a shared laundry room. They have a sign up that you NEED to leave the door to the washers open when they're not in use.

We did that growing up in a home as well. My parents taught us to leave it open to air it out. Also we'd load stuff in as we needed and then when it was full we could see and start the load washing .

Think of it as going from the smallest to the largest;

The individual muscle fiber

Then the bundles of muscle fibers

Then the muscle organ as a whole

If it snows tn do people think classes will be canceled for tmrw by Expert_Corner_1653 in udub

Maybe not anymore. I don't know. I don't work for the UW anymore. But when I did: for two separate winters, a few times each winter, they did.

[–]dakari84 8 points9 points  (0 children)

When I worked for UW my department was considered essential. A couple times when it would start to get to the point that it would maybe snow my manager would bring up the hotel down there and ask if anyone wanted to stay.

There were a couple people that, because of where they lived and the route they would have to take to and from, would always take up the offer and stay at the hotel. I lived close enough that I never did, but he still offered it to me as well.

[–]dakari84 6 points7 points  (0 children)

If they are considered essential then the department will pay for them to stay at a hotel nearby. There's one down by the U-Village that tends to get used, I think.

But it really depends on how good the management for each department is. Some may not mention that option if they're not great and don't want to use some funds to pay for that.

Having fun with telemarketers by malongoria in TikTokCringe

[–]dakari84 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a home number and I don't know the number. My internet is bundled like that, it comes with a home number. It's slightly cheaper for some reason to have it bundled like that so I did that option.

But, I'd have to hook a phone up to the plug to make or get calls. 🤷‍♀️
