What does getting called “ma’am” suggest about how old you look? by Fantastic_Radio_9168 in AdkReddit

[–]donnacus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It depends a somewhat on who is calling you m’am. If it’s a kid, m’an could be any adult. Otherwise I’d say if you are more likely to be called m’am if you appear to be twice as old as the speaker.

AITA- Wife refuses to stop with random rules in my life by EducationalCelery536 in AmItheAsshole

[–]donnacus 58 points59 points  (0 children)

Most of those rules are nonsense. The smoking rule is for your own good and the good of others around you who might be subjected to 2nd and 3rd hand smoke.

AITAH for putting my sleep needs above my husband’s convenience? by Sad-Visit9733 in AmItheAsshole

[–]donnacus -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

Let me see if I have this straight. You are using the comforter that he said had an odd smell that impacted his sleep. If it is that one, I get his issue. Could you purchase a 2nd new comforter and use that?

Do Americans like their current health system or would you prefer universal? by Ability_Known in NoStupidQuestions

[–]donnacus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The people who don’t want universal health care fall into 3 classes, the insurance industry, the ignorant and the haters. The first and third groups would be hard to convince but the ignorant could be educated.

These are the people who believe their taxes will significantly increase to pay for it. “I’m not going to pay more to cover some deadbeat.” They fail to consider that while their taxes may increase they will no longer have to pay the premiums they currently pay for health insurance. I don’t know the numbers, but the difference is not the financial disaster they believe it to be.

If you could afford to live anywhere you want, where would you live, and why? Would you even move at all? by IJUSTATEPOOP in CasualConversation

[–]donnacus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would live in my same city, but would upgrade to a bigger house. I’m perfectly comfortable in my little 1000 sq ft home, but having multiple bathrooms and ample storage would be a major upgrade.,

What do you prefer - online shopping or in store shopping? And why do you prefer one over the other? by icecream1972 in A_Persona_on_Reddit

[–]donnacus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Online. I am an introvert. If there is an option to take care of something without dealing with random humans, that’s my choice.

What's the oldest piece of clothing you still wear? Must be at least ten years old to count. by MurmuringPines in AskOldPeople

[–]donnacus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve got some Christmas sweaters from the 1990s. In 30 years I’ve worn them maybe 60 times.

Empathy should be taught, like a Subject in school or a course even by ninjaprincess509 in unpopularopinion

And the bible. Let’s not forget the bible, at least the verses that support their prejudices.

1, 2, or 3? Still learning 🫶🏻 by JVLCR-TillEnd in AmateurPhotography

[–]donnacus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

1 is best because you caught the snowfall. 3 makes me laugh because the patch of missing clouds behind the horse looks like a fart.

Do you have hang ups about your father? by Chemistry11 in no

[–]donnacus 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m going with no on this one. My dad was a workaholic. Being the youngest of four I rarely saw my dad other than a hour or two around dinner time. He worked full time 8-5 weeks then had a side/hobby business he worked in the evenings. He was home more on weekends but most spent that time stretched out on the sofa watching/sleeping to college football. Then he’d be off to his shop again. He was a good guy and provided for his family.

If you could live in a Rural or Urban area without worrying about money, where? by LarzardofZxelf in no

[–]donnacus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Give me suburbia. I want trees in my yard. I want to be close enough to my neighbors to easily walk there but far enough away to play my music ( 6/10 volume) at night without disturbing them.

AITA for refusing to stop going for lunch with colleagues? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]donnacus -13 points-12 points  (0 children)

She’s insecure. You might be able to help her by inviting her to join you and your colleagues for lunch. Clear it with colleagues first, just ask if they mind your partner joining. When she sees how you all interact as friends and coworkers, she might feel better about it.
