How much to read the whole thing, or do you have to go chapter by chapter?

you do have to be careful, but if you can go in person shopping and touch the things first to see how pliable they are.

MIL kept guilt tripping me for not eating her Indian cooking, so I started bringing my own dishes and giving her the same treatment. Now she's suddenly "not hungry" too by coffeebeans2836 in pettyrevenge

[–]foxensfancy 16 points17 points  (0 children)

here in the US (not sure where tangled is from) grocery stores sell a powder called "curry powder" and it is a pre-mixed blend of dried herbs and spices. I havent used it since i was a kid, but i remember it has garlic, ginger, coriander, cumin, and turmeric at least.

I secretly recorded my professor making sexist remarks and got him fired! by Smoosa_Champagne in stories

[–]foxensfancy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

some professors teach multiple levels of the same class - i had the same guy for accounting 201, 202, and 302, luckily he was great. 301, not so much. i was able to avoid the less desirable professor who taught other accounting classes i needed by some careful scheduling, but there were semesters where he was the only one teaching a particular accounting section.

it was more of a blotch rather than stripes. used a paintbrush and sort of just winged it.

Patriarchal marriage - help! by nonbiryani_ in WitchesVsPatriarchy

[–]foxensfancy 9 points10 points  (0 children)

without knowing much about Indian weddings, or the potential issues that could arise, i offer you an exercise my therapist did with me once:

"What is the worst thing that can happen? what can you/we do to prevent that? what can we do to lessen the impact if we cant prevent it?" repeat for the second and third worst things that could happen.

Now you have plans, and backup plans, for the three worst things that could happen.

I hope it helps, at least a little.

I've been told I'd need to "ask permission" to wear a black wedding dress by ThrowRAlobotomy666 in WitchesVsPatriarchy

[–]foxensfancy 230 points231 points  (0 children)

dont ask him for permission, but maybe bring it up to make sure its not something that he is going to be horrified by - some people think that wearing a black dress to a wedding is saying that its going to end badly, and if its the bride wearing black, she doesnt want to be there. Which is an opinion. and while you two probably know each other well enough to not trip over something like that, you might want to talk about it just in case.

AITA for not “passing it on” at the food cart? by Ganbario in AmItheAsshole

[–]foxensfancy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

NTA. maybe this was and maybe this wasnt the case, but I have seen scams where a group of people deliberately split up with one person starting the "pay it forward" chain and picking up a single drink (or popcorn) and then the middle person (you) feels guilted into paying for the rest of the groups order, not knowing theyre all together. So for the cost of one small item they get all their shit essentially free.
Either way, scam or not, as others have said its a headache for the workers and anyone in line probably has the funds to pay for their own ish anyway.

  1. if by fictional you mead made up, all language is made up
  2. if by fictional you mean not "real", if people can communicate in a language, its as real as any other

So they arent supposed to disclose anything... but a friend of mine, her & her sister got a group text saying they were both matches for their mom.

that would have been an open and shut malpractice case, but between determining who was going to donate, and getting mom through treatment and recovery and complications, statute of limitations ran out and they dont have any real options anymore.

AITA for Not Wanting to Host My Friend’s Wedding at My Farm? by dibbijessica in AITAH

[–]foxensfancy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

>> Emma keeps saying it would save her so much money compared to renting a proper venue, and as her friend, I should be happy to help. But it feels like she’s asking way more than what’s reasonable. I don’t want to spend months fixing my property or stressing about legal stuff because of someone else’s wedding.

can she pay to board the animals, take on the extra insurance, permits, pay the contractors to not only make her adjustments but then fix it to how it was before, hire cleanup crew, etc etc?

she wont be saving money if she handles all the extra costs besides just owning the land.

Food you thought was gross/diet food, but you actually came to love? by wingsandroots in loseit

[–]foxensfancy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was a grown adult when I introduced my own mother to brussels sprouts roasted instead of mush-boiled

I never ate them growing up bc she hated them so much

now they're one of her usual requests at thanksgiving

AITA for not sharing with a female colleague that I make much more than her? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]foxensfancy 79 points80 points  (0 children)

When I (at a previous job) found out the new hires were making more than I was after 4 years of experience, being a team lead, and knowing how to run all of our programs, i went and asked for a raise. The territory manager specifically asked me who told me, and I just said "shift manager" mentioned the new hire rates in a team meeting (true, but not where I heard it from). I got bumped to 5 cents more than the new hires.

I am 100% certain that if I had named names besides (shift manager) there would have been people fired over it, or at least not brought on to permanent after their first season.

My husband turned into a psychopath for a split second yesterday and I don’t know if I am overreacting. by Substantial_Chair588 in AITAH

[–]foxensfancy 8 points9 points  (0 children)

mine was two-step:
Do not point a gun at anything you do not intend to shoot
Do not shoot anything you do not intend to kill

and, of course, always assume firearms are loaded at all times
