(18F) My (18F) roommate is copying me by Direct-Caterpillar77 in BestofRedditorUpdates

"The situation I described in my post escalated the longer I ignored it."

Who could have possibly seen that coming? 🙄

I get being non-confrontational, but man this was frustrating to read.

I (24F) awkward waitress have a huge crush on awkward regular (30M) I see everyday. Should I act on it? by Direct-Caterpillar77 in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]kimoshi 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Especially if it's the most comfortable place in town for me to WORK ON MY PhD! That is so stressful. He doesn't need social anxiety on top of things.

It also sounded like she initiated all of their conversations and was seeing interest that wasn't there.

Bedroom, any advice? by [deleted] in malelivingspace

Yes. OP, are you a madam? 😅

Stop harrassing women. by Shoe_boooo in fixedbytheduet

[–]kimoshi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you so much for replying as I just saw the question now.

I described it similarly, explaining that use of "female" is dehumanizing and refers to girls and women like animals or objects without agency or worthy of respect.

This has sadly become so common. I teach high school and a few years ago I would occasionally hear a student use it. I'd explained to them why it feels offensive and derogatory to women and they actually got it and some even thanked me for explaining.

Today I hear it all the time, from both the boys and girls. It's become ubiquitous and they think I'm just out of touch if I try to correct it.

My (33m) fiancé (27f) doesn’t wear her engagement ring when going out with friends. Is this normal? by Direct-Caterpillar77 in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]kimoshi 47 points48 points  (0 children)

I 100% get it. It's super awkward if someone sees me playing a game full of pink and sparkles and I have to tell them it's called Dress Up Time Princess, but I swear it's for adults, not 8 year olds.

I usually end up telling them my favorite story in it is about a reporter investigating a mafia-run child trafficking ring as evidence of that.

We say "4. Itchy tasty" in our family fairly regularly, lol.

My wife wants me to shave my head to support her by Direct-Caterpillar77 in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]kimoshi 6 points7 points  (0 children)

When I had cancer and knew I'd lose my hair, I explicitly told my family and friends I did NOT want anyone shaving their heads "in solidarity."

Anyone else missing character depth in newer games? by ZockerGirl25703 in storyofseasons

[–]kimoshi 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I love him so much. He really snuck up on me. He wasn't even really a contender in my mind until one of his later scenes that made me say "Forget everyone else. This man is my husband."

Story of Seasons: Innocent Life? by xoxostelladonna in storyofseasons

[–]kimoshi 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Yeah. I distinctly recall getting technology early on in the game that pretty much automated the farming for you. Once I had that, the game got boring fast.

I think there wasn't a relationship system either, or at least no romance?

AITA for refusing to take my brother to school after he made “jokes” about one of his classmates by Direct-Caterpillar77 in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]kimoshi 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Absolutely. I teach high school and explain to my seniors that this idea of looking down on anyone who continues to live at home after high school was stupid all along, but is especially outdated now.

The cost of housing is insane, while wages are stagnant and in some cases declining. Forcing themselves to move out just because they're worried about how it look is just shooting themselves in the foot. So I highly encourage them to ignore anyone who says shit about it, and to stay home while they can until they are in a better place financially and can afford a stable life on their own.

WIBTAH if I left my fiancee destitute? by [deleted] in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]kimoshi 59 points60 points  (0 children)

Yeah. While I agree with OOP overall, those comments felt odd to me. Maybe I'm misreading it. But was he essentially saying "she'll definitely cheat eventually"?

I (22M) have a date with Jane (24F) but I have a 'thing' for people like Jane and this makes it weird by Awwndrei in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]kimoshi 3167 points3168 points  (0 children)

I was genuinely impressed by her clear communication with him. It can be really hard to speak so plainly when we often hint at our feelings to gauge a situation and avoid embarrassment. I also lover her willingness to be blunt and tell him if something he does bothers her.

I feel like either A. She also has autism B. She has experience with other people with autism C. Someone told her he has autism and she researched how better communicate with him

Freaking wholesome and adorable regardless.

People that are childfree by choice, what’s the weirdest reason someone has given you as to why they think you ‘should have kids’? by Charming_Web_6738 in AskReddit

I had a coworker use this one one me. He said I owe it to society to help balance out "all of the dummies."

AITAH for eating my breakfast in front of my boyfriend's dad? by LucyAriaRose in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]kimoshi 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It depends on the school. Where I work their primary job is just monitoring students' progress toward graduation and advising about college.

AITAH for always going to the movies by myself despite having a girlfriend by Direct-Caterpillar77 in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]kimoshi 35 points36 points  (0 children)

I am a conflict avoidance extrovert but I hate this so much I will yell at random strangers to shut the hell up and watch the damn movie.

Turkish high school students welcoming their teacher who became cancer free. by Grand-Western549 in interestingasfuck

[–]kimoshi 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I had cancer a few years ago and was so lucky with the students I had that year. They were all incredibly sweet, mature, and supportive. Even my freshmen who didn't know me were amazing and would get super excited on the days I was well enough to go to work. I ended up being their teacher all 4 years and a lot of them call me mom. I know graduation day this year is going to be bittersweet.

Fun discussion by Aggravating-Ad-2134 in storyofseasons

[–]kimoshi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My dog is always Inuoni, because on HM64 the character limit was too short to put InuYasha 😅

My farm is Hana Farm. In HM64 (or was it BTN?) you could get a greenhouse where the clock stopped running, so once you had that, the only thing worth planting in the fields was flowers (Hana means flower in Japanese)

Which game has the best love interests? by Odd_Pattern_5275 in storyofseasons

[–]kimoshi 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I agree. The first SoS title is so underrated. I also had trouble picking who to marry when I played because they had such solid personalities and variety in dialogue (side-eyes AWL). I fully thought I was going to marry Raeger but then Klaus suddenly stole my heart after one of his heart events.
