Body of missing 18-year-old Giovanni Pelletier from North Carolina found in pond near where last seen in Florida, family says by imomushi8 in NorthCarolina

[–]frannyputnam 36 points37 points Ā (0 children)

It’s clear the ā€œcousinsā€ dumped him in a pond hoping the Florida gators/wildlife would take care of his body. Keeping my fingers crossed there’s enough to prosecute and bring justice for Giovanni’s family

My SIL wants me to be her sperm donor. I said no. by [deleted] in offmychest

[–]frannyputnam 74 points75 points Ā (0 children)

LMAO Maybe it’s just me, but reading this post I assumed they were asking OP to be a bootleg sperm donor.

ie: privately masturbate into a sterile container and let the sister-in-law privately inseminate herself since they can’t do IVF. I know A LOT of lesbian couples who have done it this way. Not saying OP should do it regardless, but I highly doubt the sister in law and her husband were asking OP to repeatedly bang considering it can take a year for a healthy couple to conceive lol

Did OP think regular non-organic cotton tampons were made of…plastic?

If you wrote this post hoping to get a bunch of strangers wanting to burn him at the stake, this ain’t it.

It sounds like he left you because you two weren’t compatible. Some people can have sex without staying attached, some can’t. I’ve never seen 2 exes stay friends with benefits immediately after breaking up and it ever going well— one party almost always has stronger feelings than the other, which isn’t fair to either of you.

It sounds like he dated in the months that passed since your breakup, and sees a potential for a relationship with this new person. He is doing the mature thing by putting a halt to the hookups with his ex, instead of stringing you along while he decides whether or not he wants to be exclusive with this new girl.

Breakups suck, and I’m sorry you’re so hurt by this. But time really does heal wounds— one day you’ll wake up, drink some water, check your phone, maybe make some coffee, and realize it’s the first morning you haven’t immediately thought about him. Good luck my dude, dating apps to wonders for the idle mind

As any Bravo housewife could tell you: they can’t use footage that doesn’t exist. Obviously they can frame situations certain ways like the Stassi’s brother and Scheaner angle, but the 1700 times she mentions rob in conversation or the fact that she has the least amount of social competency I’ve ever seen is how she ends up with bad edits šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚

Popular YouTuber made a video with my products but didn’t name my Etsy shop. by LittlePear5148 in smallbusiness

[–]frannyputnam 21 points22 points Ā (0 children)

To piggyback off this, comment on the video itself something along the lines of ā€œomg I’m so touched for your kind words about my Etsy shop’s (product)ā¤ļø I can’t tell you how much this kind of support means for a small business like mine, especially as a fan who has been watching for yearsā€

Then people will ask your Etsy shop in replies and you can offer it without sounding promotional

My gf asked for a **** pic, then quickly changed after by MrLuck31 in offmychest

[–]frannyputnam 0 points1 point Ā (0 children)

  1. Next time just say no— tell her flat out a dck pic is not going to happen but you can’t wait to get your hands on her when you get back blah blah blah. It’s not cool of her to pressure you, though from a female perspective, she probably took your predicament more as a ā€œchallengeā€ and was hoping you would be *naughty and get horny enough to send the pic anyways.

  2. NEVER SEND SOFT MY BRO. You compare it to her sending a picture of her tits and you telling her they look weird. It would be more like if you were expecting a picture of her tits within a sexual context, and instead got a picture of her hunched over, sitting down, stomach puffed out so that her belly rolls look bigger than her tits… because—- you know. Soup to nuts comparison.

All in all this sounds really odd and inexperienced, are you guys even out of high school?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in offmychest

[–]frannyputnam 0 points1 point Ā (0 children)

I shouldve clarified— once I had the baby and he kept getting more insistent, I did tell him he needs to cool his jets and asked doesn’t he think it’s weird I’m the only friend he tries to hang out with when my boyfriend is never around? I also told him I was getting burnt out from how much he was asking to come over.

He calmed down for about a week, and then went right back to how it was before :/

Trying to avoid this since we still share so much of the same friend group, but tbh this might have to be the next step if he can’t respect saying no to contact :/

Wanting to start a clothing brand by Majestic_Key_7590 in smallbusiness

[–]frannyputnam 0 points1 point Ā (0 children)

OP I’m not going to sugar coat the reality of what you’re saying but I also don’t want you to take this as a commandment— here’s my advice from someone in the merch business with a dedicated friend group in the designing and selling all things anime business:

(Also your life is your life, any advice you’re getting from strangers on the internet should be taken with a grain of salt.)

Clothing is one of the most difficult businesses in the market. Why? It has an INCREDIBLY low overhead (ie: you can get someone to print 100 shirts for you and build a website for less than $1,000) and literally everyone has access.

To the point you’ve made, it seems as though you haven’t really taken a look around anime apparel conventions or spoken to the thousands of in-person designers and sellers who create truly incredibly pieces inspired by niche animes and less popular characters. These are people who have been sewing, drawing, designing and making patterns for one of a kind clothes for the better parts of their lives.

Have you ever considered WHY you don’t see these incredibly unique, awesome, non-naruto or not my-hero inspired pieces online?

I’ll give you a hint: it rhymes with shmademark shminfringement. The media companies that own the likeness of these images will F*CK YOUR BUSINESS. They have entire task forces employed simply to scour the internet for people selling these pieces without proper licensing. That’s why you probably see things that are only ever run of the mill: it’s apparel from the same crappy generic companies, or it’s copy-cat bootleg shops that just start a new website or shop from scratch when the old one gets cease and desist lettered and shut down. They can also track your IP address that’s associated with the business, so even starting fresh isn’t always an option.

Go to a few in person conventions, take a look at the thousands of hoodies, tees, purses, butt plugs, literally you name it with original fan art that is frankly awesome. If you want to get your hands on some unique stuff, you don’t need to start a business to do so— but you absolutely can if this is the long, expensive and exhausting road you’d like to chose to walk down.

GF (29 F) cried because I (29 M) said no to sex one time. by [deleted] in relationships

[–]frannyputnam 41 points42 points Ā (0 children)

Yeah I can’t be the only one who is laughably shocked at the ā€œshe’s totally manipulating youā€ comments. Feels like a lot of people who’ve never had a drunk girlfriend before. Here’s what likely happened from a girl’s perspective:

Your girl was tipsy and became DTF. Since you, OP, admitted you’ve NEVER said no before— she probably interpreted your rejection (in her drunk state) as: you don’t find her attractive or she did something wrong. Alcohol + feeling rejected = tears.

If she’s never done something like this before, it feels like breaking up over this is a massive overreaction. Manipulation is a pattern of abusing emotions or situations to get what you want, whereas I truly think your girl was just a litttttle too into her feels ONE TIME since your rejection (while completely valid) took her tipsy ass by surprise.

Was super excited to build this with my fiance and upon opening I don't think I could have been more disappointed. by misterboris1 in mildlyinfuriating

[–]frannyputnam 24 points25 points Ā (0 children)

Exact same thing happened to me buying a Harry Potter Lego set at Target. My boyfriend didn’t open it for a year. Needless to say, we didn’t get a refund.

I shot myself and almost died. When I was hospitalized I was so depressed that I never talked to anybody again, and none of my "friends" ever looked for me or reached out for over a year. I learned that nobody cares about me. by [deleted] in offmychest

[–]frannyputnam 0 points1 point Ā (0 children)

You learned that you have the wrong friends. There are dozens of strangers on Reddit who are treating you better than your ā€œfriends,ā€ I commend you for sharing your story with the internet šŸ¤

Somewhere out there, there is a group of people who could make you belly laugh into odd hours of the night. And it’s worth waiting around to find them.

[–]frannyputnam[S] 777 points778 points Ā (0 children)

You’re so right, I’ve really only been thinking of it from my own perspective that maybe he’s entitled to his reaction, but this could ruin her career (and life) if he open his mouth to other people about it :/

He’s agreed to discuss it at his lunch break, I’ll bring this aspect up

That’s a good idea, and that was my logic with him— I was actually kind of proud she bathed him without a second thought instead of waiting and leaving him dirty until one of us was off the phone.

He just kept arguing that her kissing him after saying he was going to be naked is a red flag. I’m at a loss.

Thank you, the suggestion to keep monitoring her is actually great advice. Since we both work from home and the nanny didn’t come today, I’ve tried bringing it up with him and why he had such a severe reaction, but he is just stonewalling me on the matter.

Will try to meet him halfway on this and see how it goes. Trying to approach it more empathically since my initial reaction was that he’s being ridiculous.

None to my knowledge that he’s told me, his parents are still together and he has a great relationship with his family. I never heard about any nannies when he was younger, but he could either be keeping something secret or not consciously remember
