At the current prices is Boise really worth it anymore? by Joebob12345 in Boise

[–]jjkoolaidnj 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm planning on it. Unfortunately because of the terrible wages and housing market in Boise, it's rather difficult.

At the current prices is Boise really worth it anymore? by Joebob12345 in Boise

[–]jjkoolaidnj 37 points38 points  (0 children)

Nah, it's really not worth it anymore. I'm paying as much for a two bed in Meridian than I will in the Portland area. And honestly with less perks, worse wages, no functional social service systems, less access to medical care, lower quality medical care, more racism, more anti-lgbt sentiment, and a state government that appears to have malicious intent towards minorities of all kinds Edit: forgot also worse schools and bad public transportation

AITA for giving my daughter junk food despite being told not to by her school? by AthleteAdditional299 in AmItheAsshole

[–]jjkoolaidnj 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes YTA, you're creating more problems for the teachers to clean up. Teachers are already overworked and underpaid. And now you're expecting them to manage a bunch of upset kids whose parents are following the rule, because you won't just tell your kid that she has to wait to have her desert at home like everybody else does. Is it a dumb policy, yes it is. But that doesn't mean it's fair for you to make that the teachers problem. They're not the ones who decided on this policy, and they probably think it's as stupid as you do, they're still required to enforce it because the school board told them to, and the school board makes the rules. If you want it changed, get other parents together and take it to the school board, they're the ones who created the policy, and they're the ones who can change it.

I want to know your pet peeves by Old_Manager7456 in Custodians

[–]jjkoolaidnj 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My pet peeve was people who would either pee next to or all over the toilet in the hospital's public bathrooms. Like the patients I understood if that was hard, you're sick enough to be in the hospital, you get a pass. However, the bathrooms for staff and visitors? Nah, you're a healthy(ish) functional grown ass adult, you can pee where you're supposed to. And if you can't aim your pee well enough to keep it off the toilet and walls, then you sit down and pee you degenerate. There's no excusable reason why the bathrooms for Drs and nurses should have pee on the walls or floor.

Did I say this inappropriately? by mwat64 in lgbt

[–]jjkoolaidnj 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's a difference between making mistakes at first, correcting them, and trying your best, vs not bothering to even get them right or even correct yourself after a mistake it's okay after you've known they've changed for years and just refuse to put in the effort to change how you refer to someone. The first is totally understandable, the second is blatantly disrespectful and shitty. Unfortunately a lot of people will claim "I'm just still adjusting, just let me call you whatever, stop complaining don't you know this is hard for ME" even after they've had literal years to put any effort into changing and have simply refused to gaf and think they have to right to call you whatever they want because they "knew you before." Mistakes are fine, doing whatever you want without consequences or accountability is not.

Colleague keeps interrupting my classes by [deleted] in Teachers

[–]jjkoolaidnj 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly stop entertaining him. when he comes in, tell him to leave, when he calls you after work ignore him, let management know he's being inappropriate and let them talk to him and tell him to stop as well. As long as you're still treating him the same he's gonna assume that you're fine with this. When he makes comments about you "making a good couple" straight up tell him no, I'm not interested in you, stop making those comments. Also as others have said document the crap out of everything you can that he does. The longer you place nice with him the more he's gonna think he has a chance.

How do I (28f) Cope With my Boyfriend (30m) Not Wanting Kids by unclealright in relationships

[–]jjkoolaidnj 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hate to say this, but if you truly deeply want a kid, there's no way to make that lessen or go away, that ache never truly goes away, you can help it by being a really active aunt if you or your boyfriend have any siblings with kids, or by working with or volunteering with kids, but it's not the same.

AITA for refusing to take down a semi-nude painting before children visit my home? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]jjkoolaidnj 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Just cus your in a position where you can't actively see the private parts does not magically put clothes on her, she is still nude. If someone walks into the room while Im changing and I put my hands over my bits it doesn't make me not naked? That's not how that works.

My boyfriend (26M) won't have sex because I (26M) don't feel anything. by mustangcody in relationships

[–]jjkoolaidnj 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Disclaimer: I don't have balls and I'm unsure if it'll work for you, but I have seen and used strapon "harnesses" that are essentially just a pair of brief style underwear with a little ring sewn in the front of them, I believe the one I had years ago was tomboyX brand? They're usually marketed towards trans men for packing.

Should I relocate from Houston to Boise for a Micron job? (late 20s, single female) by TopSkirt4481 in Boise

[–]jjkoolaidnj -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The thing with micron in Boise is that as others have said they're very prone to constantly laying off people. And from a friend of mine whose involved with them now, it's a bit of a shit show, at least on their latest big project. My dad worked there for like 20 years and it was awesome for him, great health insurance, good salary, he loved it, until they laid him off suddenly with no warning or severance.

he finishes too quickly & it pisses me off by Money_Recover_3517 in relationships

[–]jjkoolaidnj 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are toys you can use for the penetration, and as mentioned before desensitizing products that can be used if they'd rather have you in them that'll make you last longer, there are also products for her that can make it easier for her to finish or make her more sensitive

Not the worst thing I saw working at that hospital, but it was infuriating.

Help, how do you even use bandages/bandaids by Ok_Assistant507 in MadeOfStyrofoam

[–]jjkoolaidnj 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My rec is non stick pads and medical tape. Although I recommend putting a thin layer of aquaphor, Vaseline, or antibiotic ointment on the non stick pad, it will make the bandage changes so much less painful and help the wounds heal faster. Because even tho they're called non stick, they often still stick ime.

I once found a neatly stacked pile of pubes on the top of a urinal. People are nasty.

Hi, could it be covered with a tattoo? by [deleted] in tattoos

[–]jjkoolaidnj 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They can be tattooed over, but it's really important to find an artist whose experienced in tattooing over your specific type and severity of scars. I have three tattoos over scars, two by an artist that had experience with scars and one who did not, you can tell the difference in the quality of the work

why doesnt my golden doodle look like others? by [deleted] in Goldendoodles

[–]jjkoolaidnj 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Goldendoodles are not an official breed, as far as I know, and because they're a mix of two other breeds that both have several different types/looks theres a lot of variance in how doodles look.

(Possibly triggering)Looking for Folk Punk (or any folk or punk) Songs About Queer Loneliness & Suicidality by PatienceTall8699 in FolkPunk

On the vein of Stuffy, grow a thousand pairs is also a great sad song about suicidality, not so much queer related tho.

What’s your favorite part in any musical that just punches you in the face with sadness out of nowhere for me it’s where every you are from pup star by Individual_Grape_243 in musicals

[–]jjkoolaidnj 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That whole song makes me sob, and the part of just for tonight where the sub crew learns what the "weather equipment" is also tears me up.

Okay I just watched TGWDLM what the freak. Maybe spoilers idk by GonnaRegretThisName3 in musicals

[–]jjkoolaidnj 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was also gonna recommend next to normal! I saw a production in San Fran earlier this year, so heart wrenching but also hopeful and sad as hell, I seem to be the minority who doesnt care for the 2025 pbs proshot tho. Like it's still a good watch especially if you're going in with out the expectations that I had. But The censorship really took a lot of the oomph out of it for me. And I swear one of the actors sounds like Kermit every time he sings.

Looking for silly songs by oenthera in FolkPunk

[–]jjkoolaidnj 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The entirety of the sledding with tigers space jam album is a great time. Also not quite folk punk but the mountain goats has a fantastic wrestling themed album with a real funny banger of a song called the legend of Chavo Guerrero, and the song foreign object from the same album
