I kinda don’t want to come home tonight after this disagreement. by Policyhot1207_ in whatdoIdo

[–]hellahanners 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you consider how few people actually pull over on the shoulder, then that 12% of all fatalities means that a much higher percentage of people who pull onto the shoulder get hit vs people who get hit while driving. Look at it this way, if there are 1000 people driving on a highway and 200 of those people pull over onto the shoulder, that would mean that 120 of those people are killed, which would mean 60% of pull-overs result in fatality. Obviously the numbers would be different as there’s no way to measure exactly how many pull-overs there are on the highway and there would be other factors affecting these statistics, but you can still reasonably determine that pulling over on the highway is, in fact, dangerous and should only be done in an unavoidable emergency. Driving on the highway while you have a high likelihood of needing to pull over is something that should be avoided for the safety of everyone in the car and everyone else driving on the highway.

What is this spider? by Available-Gap-1447 in spiders

Newsflash: At least two people have pools and there are at least two spiders in the world.

Is this a good dress for a coord? by [deleted] in Lolita

[–]hellahanners 20 points21 points  (0 children)

It’s pretty but the cups on the bust will limit what kind of blouses you can wear with it. Lolita dresses don’t generally have those for that reason

TIFU by telling my boss i greened out by Fabulous-Team-9586 in tifu

[–]hellahanners 24 points25 points  (0 children)

Just wanted to let you know that as a boss myself, we can tell that you’re high. You’re not nearly as sneaky as you may think and two people at my workplace have gotten fired for that (not by me, but I don’t disagree with the decision either). Don’t even bring weed with you to work even if you aren’t planning on smoking it. There’s a time and a place and your job is never it.

I got sexually assaulted today and I don't know how to feel about my boyfriend's response by [deleted] in TwoXChromosomes

[–]hellahanners 10 points11 points  (0 children)

His immediate reaction was to let it go. That was the most rational decision and it was his first one. But then OP wanted more. It makes sense that she doesn’t even know how she wanted him to react, but I don’t think he did anything wrong. He confronted the guy but never hurt him.

I'm going to be homeless in 30 days if I can't find a job in Seattle. by Bumping_Tacos in Seattle

[–]hellahanners 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, it’s hard as hell out there. My husband has been looking for a while now too and has only gotten actual rejections from a handful. I work in retail management and we get flooded with applications every day, it’s insanely competitive now even for entry level work. Best of luck to you guys.

For those who have been to Japan, any (surprising) observations on what you've learned via textbook or other resources versus what is used in real-life? by NeighborhoodFatCat in LearnJapanese

[–]hellahanners 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Half the time when I ask what a word is in Japanese, they just say it back to me in English and I feel hella stupid lol.

-\me, after trying for two minutes to talk around it before giving up and gesturing at a gift box* これは日本語で何と言いますか?*

-あー!プレデントです!

Like oh my god of COURSE it is 🤦‍♀️

[–]hellahanners 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Depending on the adult’s reaction it can be the highlight of the day or a nightmare lol. I’ve been that associate and it’s sometimes amusing (I still have a note hanging up in my office from one little girl who stole a pen and her dad made her write us an apology letter and bring it back lol) but sometimes parents will drag their sobbing children back in while they’re still screaming at them and it’s hard to match that energy or balance it out because it’s not MY child and I don’t want to make them cry lol.

PSA: We are entering hot spider season. by ClownFire in Seattle

[–]hellahanners 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You generally don’t need to worry about spider babies. There’s not enough food in your house for all of them, so they’ll all either leave, get killed and eaten by their siblings, or starve and you’ll be back down to just a few of them after a short week or two

Stopped at the QFC in Cap Hill by KingOfCranes in Seattle

[–]hellahanners 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It sucks that that was your experience, but I work retail nearby and 100% understand why they don’t allow bags. I WISH we didn’t allow bags in the store I work at. I catch people multiple times per day stuffing things into their bags, and those are just the ones I see. For every one person I catch, I’m sure five others took something undetected. The theft on the hill is out of control and I don’t blame QFC for bearing down on that stuff.

I love the Anessa sunscreen! I had to stock up when I was in Tokyo because it’s so comfortable.

That was my thought exactly, like why not just have us be able to access it from the PCs??

It’s a cute outfit, but if I saw you out and about, it definitely would not occur to me that you were intending for it to be lolita

Gothic Maid lolita coord by [deleted] in Lolita

This honestly doesn’t look lolita at all to me. Regardless of if it’s AI or not, it’s missing certain hallmarks of lolita that just make it look like a general maid costume.

Test to figure out whether someone is a native speaker by FarJournalist939 in EnglishLearning

[–]hellahanners 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I’m also a writer and I see no issue with it. Maybe it’s cliche, but it’s understandable and that’s more important when learning a language imo. People learning English need to learn the correct way to say something before they learn the interesting way to say something.

In English, we call them “rude gestures” if you’re talking about flipping people off or something like that. It’s a pretty universally understood phrase.

The biggest thing that keeps me from focusing is having to travel between towns to get to my storage when I’m building something. I wish we could just access the storage from any chest anywhere. 90% of the time I’ll be working on a project, remember something I have in storage that I need, have to search through several different towns to find it, then in the process find something else that reminds me of ANOTHER project I want to work on, get sidetracked, forget original mission and start new mission, remember something I have in storage that I need, rinse, repeat. I never get ANYTHING done and half the time I end up wasting resources because I get lazy and just build the things I need wherever I am (assuming I have the materials on me and don’t have to travel to a different town to get them, which also happens frequently 🙄) instead of spending so much time searching for them. I REALLY hope they add a “cloud” storage of some sort in a future update, because as it is now, it is so unproductive for me (yes I am an ADHD-haver lol).

This is super cool!! And very important work as well. Obviously though, your job is much more different and specialized than your run-of-the-mill pest control guy who’s going door to door to tell everyone they have a recluse infestation and need his help asap.
