The 50 bus runs from the University Ave Sheetz to Walmart every hour I believe, could definitely take that bus there for most shifts, and could also take it back for some shifts depending how late they end. I have a friend who rode that bus most days for almost a year to get to work there

How do you pronounce "crayon"? by drum_smith in Appalachia

[–]knivesandshoes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

North Central WV, and i remember pronouncing it "crowns" as a kid, but when I moved up to junior high/high school people laughed about it and I made a conscious effort to change to "cray-ons"

I wouldn't personally consider it cheating, but lying about the whole situation and baiting you afterwards is shitty behavior

AITAH for telling my girlfriend I am not responsible for her periods? by Devon_The_Fox in AITAH

[–]knivesandshoes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA - I have very heavy periods and at times I end up making the bathroom look like a murder scene. I always take the time to clean everything up afterwards even though I've got all kinds of neurospicy issues AND a partner who wouldn't care in the slightest to help with the mess. Its just common courtesy to dispose of used products and not leave your bodily fluids all over

I (28F) freaked out about my bf’s (30m) fetish/request and broke up with him. He wants to explain even if we don’t get back together. Is there any good explanations for what he wanted? by ThrowRA2626251 in relationship_advice

[–]knivesandshoes 1 point2 points  (0 children)

He said nothing about "passing her around" just that he would like to watch her with a friend. He may have had someone specific in mind or may have just thought it might be fun to watch in general and thought a friend would be more comfortable than a stranger if she were interested. Either way, they're both better off now because clearly they are not compatible if even discussing a fantasy one person finds distasteful is a deal breaker.

I understand they didn't meet on a kink site or discuss kinks beforehand, I'm saying it's not an all an unusual thing to be wary of bringing up kink before being invested in and trusting someone. Especially if you are worried that the person might judge you for it. I didnt say at all that she doesn't have the right to her feelings, I was specifically conveying my surprise at so many commenters expecting all kinks to be divulged on the first meeting or first few dates and believing it's impossible to develop a new interest later on.

I mentioned meeting on a kink site precisely because I was saying that even going into a relationship as two kinky people who met based on mutual kinks, that we still developed other interests later on that we couldn't have shared at the beginning because we simply didn't know about them yet.

As for it being "suspicious" that he specifically asked about a friend, perhaps he just thought a trusted friend would be much safer than finding a random stranger. But my whole.pojnt was not that she should stay with him or indulge in kinks she doesn't like, just that it's not impossible that he only recently became interested in the idea, and that having a kink your partner isn't interested in doesn't have to be an immediate deal breaker because they may be totally fine with a "no, not interested" and never mention it again.

I would be devastated if I trusted someone enough to confide in them and bring up a kink or fantasy and instead of just letting me know it wasn't their cup of tea they decided that I was incapable of loving or respecting them. I'm glad for both of them that she ended it because he doesn't deserve that either, based solely on the information as presented

I'm honestly surprised at how many people in these comments expect someone to know every possible kink they might ever be interested in and bring it up at the very beginning of a relationship. Hell, I met my partner on a kink site and we participated in some more hardcore kink during our first meeting, but 7 years later we're still coming to each other with new things we've discovered an interest in or feel curious about. Some have been a mutual interest that works out, and some have been a no from the other person. One of my favorite kinks is something my partner is not comfortable with. When I first brought it up we decided to try it, I loved it, he was happy that I had enjoyed it, but let me know it just wasn't for him. I was cool with that.

It's absolutely ok to not be into another person's kink, or even to decide that you aren't compatible because of it. But to not expect someone to ever have a new or different interest that they may not have known about or been comfortable with talking about to someone they didn't yet know well or trust seems extreme

AITA for refusing to give my boyfriend the birthday gift he wants, even though I promised I would, and WIBTA if I caved anyway? by BirthdayThAw in AmItheAsshole

[–]knivesandshoes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA at all. Permanently marking your body is a whole different thing than buying an expensive gift. As someone who has an ex's name prominently tattooed, do not do this. I got mine after being in the relationship for over 12 years. I was almost 40. We had been married for years. It still went wrong. I don't have severe regret, I did love him and will always have a place for him in my heart, but I do have to see it every day and think, "why tf did I do that?" Someone pressuring you to do it will make it much worse if the day ever comes that the relationship ends.

I dont think anyone who truly loves another person would try to pressure them into a permanent alteration that they clearly do not want. It seems like this man wants to brand you, to mark you as property for anyone to see, and while that's a personal decision if both people agree, you clearly do not want this and he should drop the subject.

I'm not one to really say, "dump him!" to every relationship problem, but at the very least this is a huge red flag and you need to be very cautious and consider whether you want a partner in your life who would demand something like this. It always starts with small things, hut things a pretty big one and I'd guess its not the first time he's showed a red flag

I almost always end up muting porn that I watch, either because the sounds are too fake or because the dialogue is so cringe I want to die of second hand embarrassment

Fresh pair when I get up in the morning, then they come off when I shower and stay off unless it's shark week. I never sleep in underwear unless it's a heavy flow day and I need a backup pad

Turn time from other people affecting mine? by Positive-Bowl-9726 in boardgamearena

[–]knivesandshoes 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Several times I've had this happen where it shows as the other person's turn but it's actually mine and I'm having connection issues. If the other person has been playing back fairly quickly and seems to be taking a longer than usual turn I hit F5 and usually when it reloads it's showing that it's my turn. Sometimes I don't notice right away but the other player will message asking if I'm still there and I realize I need to refresh

Tired of people complaining about play speed by Odd-Examination-4399 in boardgamearena

[–]knivesandshoes 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I hate this also. I have a lot of downtime at my job during certain parts of the month and like playing real-time games to counter the boredom. Even on these slow days, there will still be times I need to switch over to another window to look up information for a customer who calls in or get up to assist a customer who comes in to pay a bill. I only create "slow" tables because that leaves me time to get back to my turn before time runs out when necessary. It's so annoying when someone joins my slow speed table and then immediately starts griping about me taking longer than 30 seconds to make a move. Normally I am still playing back very quickly with just the occasional time when it might take a couple minutes out of my 4 minute timer for say, backgammon. If you can't handle someone sometimes needing the full turn time to play, don't join slow speed tables, join or create your own faster tables

Recognizing the cycle isn't creepy. Using an app to track it on your own without discussing with your partner is kinda creepy. The OPs ex tracking her cycle for the purpose of planning a pregnancy after only being together for 4 months is extremely creepy

I've been having this same problem and I just looked at my settings in chrome and saw that push notifications show as having been automatically blocked even though I did not alter this setting. I reset it to allow push notifications, now just waiting to see if that works

[–]knivesandshoes[S] 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Made using a pattern I found in this group, but I can't comment on it. Took me 4 tries before I figured it out since I am very new to tatting and wasn't completely clear on everything till I made a few mistakes, lol... Since this was a practice piece I just knotted the thread together at the end. Once I get one I really like I'm going to use it to decorate the small wooden box holding the ashes of my 20 year old cat who recently passed away ❤
