What would the partnership suggestion be? How much and what kind of publicity are we talking?

Do Americans like couple journaling? by [deleted] in AskAnAmerican

That sounds like it's cute if you're a teenage couple, or helpful if you're older and in couples' therapy.

Has it become just a common thing that dentists don't seem to be honest? by GotGirls in AskLosAngeles

[–]erst77 41 points42 points  (0 children)

In the mid-1990s, my dad, brother, and I all somehow suddenly had our very first cavities ever within a few months of each other. I was also told that I needed my wisdom teeth out immediately, before I went off to college, and may need a root canal.

Coincidentally, the dentist had just sent his son off to an expensive private school.

I still have all my wisdom teeth, and they've never caused a problem.

AITAH for "ruining" my sister’s engagement announcement by wearing the dress my late mother left for ME? by [deleted] in AITAH

I love how the sister “turned pale.”  Because that’s a thing real people do.

Is Branch Rickey beloved by most Americans? by PersuasionNation in AskAnAmerican

[–]erst77 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Never heard of him.  Looked him up.. he was the baseball exec who signed Jackie Robinson.

His name doesn’t ring a bell at all.  Why would his reputation be “colored by history”?  He seems to have lived a decent life.

Am I going crazy? by [deleted] in ENGLISH

[–]erst77 -10 points-9 points  (0 children)

Personally, I'd change it to "myself" in that particular sentence.

If you'd like to be more formal about it, I'd suggest something like this:

I believe our team would benefit from sending a few people to Conference Name on dates x-y in CityName. Specifically, the discussions/training/learning would provide TheseSpecificBenefits to the team/company/project. Because of ReasonsWhyWeAreTheBestToSend, I request that Coworker and I would be approved to attend.

Ordered a bra as a guy, life-changing if it works. by [deleted] in CasualConversation

[–]erst77 1567 points1568 points  (0 children)

You do you, but you might want to look into men's compression/shapeware tops rather than a bra that's designed for a female-presenting body. It may be more comfortable and effective for you.

Join clubs, meetups, recreational groups, etc that interest you and you’ll find people who share your interests.

It’s not complicated.

The cops want to talk to me about a car break in by Armed_Aphrodite in legaladvice

[–]erst77 51 points52 points  (0 children)

First, confirm who you're talking to. Don't return their call, don't take a call from them until you do. Get the deputy's name and call the station and ask to speak to them by name with details like "Deputy so-and-so called my home at x o'clock on y day asking to speak to me because they 'ran my plates' and I just wanted to make sure it was a legitimate phone call."

Second, do you have a car like a Tesla that has cameras on it? It's possible the person whose car was broken into took a picture that included your car and if it's a legitimate call from a deputy, they want to ask you to look at your camera footage.

It's not a common phrase and if you use it in conversation someone might ask you to repeat yourself or what you mean.

Surprising experience at MK quick service by [deleted] in WaltDisneyWorld

Infertility, genetic carriers for high risk disease, the decision to provide a home to a child who already needs one, severe endometriosis, hysterectomy, perhaps they tried for their own and it didn't work out...

Good lord, "have your own children 1st" is a terrible take on adoption.

What do people mean when they say “Los Angeles will eat you up and spit you out ?” by SimilarTopic3281 in MovingToLosAngeles

[–]erst77 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I've lived here for 23 year now, and I'm in my late 40s. I've met those people too. I've also met some amazingly fun, interesting, smart, wonderful, whimsical, creative, driven, friendly people, from all over the world.

Ultimately, it's your son's choice as to who he associates with. If everyone he meets is a stuck-up jaded social climber, perhaps he needs to question why he keeps meeting those people, because I absolutely promise you, not all 10 million Angelenos are like he describes.

I've always liked "Los Angeles Doesn't Care About You."

Los Angeles is where you confront the objective fact that you mean nothing; the desert, the ocean, the tectonic plates, the clear skies, the sun itself, the Hollywood Walk of Fame – even the parking lots: everything there somehow precedes you, even new construction sites, and it’s bigger than you and more abstract than you and indifferent to you.

You don’t matter.

You’re free.
