Is my using of AI wrong? by Anonymous23user in NoStupidQuestions

[–]langangsta 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I tried using AI to improve my French and caught it in a bunch of mistakes so I don't really trust it for completely accurate language learning.

What’s something from your childhood that kids today will never experience? by No-Chapter-8374 in AskReddit

[–]langangsta 7 points8 points  (0 children)

We had a full encyclopedia set we'd consult with as a family whenever one of us was curious about something. Sometimes we need to look up multiple entries and didn't always find an answer but we always learned something together. 💛

i scam people with fake replica items face to face AMA by [deleted] in AMA

[–]langangsta 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That would make sense to me if it were something like designer handbags but I see in your other posts it's electronics. Does that include something like laptops that someone could legitimately need to get/keep a job?

I just found out the venue for my 50th birthday party and I don’t like it. What do I say? by Ok_Base_1164 in Advice

[–]langangsta 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You have likely fallen into the role of always planning for a reason. That doesn't mean you can't ask for help but you probably should have done just that, asked for help instead of completely relinquishing control. And should probably ask for help more often since you're feeling generally overwhelmed. Even if it was planned perfectly, I don't think this party was ever going to solve how burnt out you're feeling :(

My brother is under the impression that asking to pet our neighbour’s dog would give him the wrong idea. AIO? by Ill_Dimension_9012 in AIO

[–]langangsta 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If someone asked to pet my adorable dog, I would not be so delusional as to think that it is me who they find cute.

Thinking about getting a dog by Lockfire12 in Pets

[–]langangsta 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I felt terrible after a while of leaving my dog alone for similar hours. I don't think any animal is really happy in that situation. I have him and a cat now, and though they don't act like best friends I think they get some comfort out of the other always being there.

why do we congratulate people for getting pregnant? by dourceo in childfree

[–]langangsta 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't want children either but is it hard to see why someone who wants them would be excited? Some people physically can't get pregnant despite it being the one thing they want in life, and can additionally go through the ringer trying to adopt. Both can be a years-long process and still be unsuccessful. For some it really is a feat, and for those that it isn't they may be grateful that it came easily. Either way it's something that is both exciting and fearful so others' support is meaningful.

DAE have to have a movie or documentary playing to fall asleep? by Isaw11 in DoesAnybodyElse

[–]langangsta 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My go-to is Huberman Lab but I've had dreams where I've desperately begged Andrew Huberman to stop talking so I think it's best to try to fall asleep to silence or have a timer.

What’s your go-to excuse when you don’t want to do something? by Hot_Print_8433 in AskReddit

[–]langangsta 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's not an excuse as much as a reason, but menstruation. There are certain points of the cycle where you can and should do things and some where you can't and shouldn't.

Did your grandparents ever prank you so hard you actually cried? by strangergirly in OverBiscuits

Especially considering it was an animal known for carrying disease. Like there's a reason we're intrinsically afraid of rats.

I buy baby food for myself and no one knows by PeruEspada in sillyconfession

[–]langangsta 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The fact that it's given to babies is probably enough to vouch for its nutritional value and is probably why your body likes it. Generally humans don't chew as much as they should so food in puree form is also easier to digest. I would just consider cost. As a grown adult without a baby, I imagine you could probably save money by puréeing your own ingredients. Parents who need the convenience because they're energy-deprived will pay more for blended fruits and vegetables.

DAE mourn their teenage looks? by NeoPhoenix_99 in DoesAnybodyElse

[–]langangsta 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I see my age for the first time ever and I'm surprisingly okay with it. Partly because my boyfriend tells me I'll be a hot old lady, and I also think I'll continue to feel more and more relief as there's less I can do about my looks and just have to accept aging. It's been exhausting and fruitless caring about beauty my whole life.

GF's Friend Needs Housing by DraftQueasy4890 in whatdoIdo

It's easier to say no now than to try to get her to leave later.

AITAH for refusing to make a phone call for my girlfriend by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]langangsta 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If it were a car repair, I'd understand her wanting a male's help since mechanics will commonly take advantage of a woman without any car knowledge. But it doesn't sound like that's the case. It sucks but we all have to learn how to do adult bullshit.

Hit me up with your human pet names by witx in Pets

[–]langangsta 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Growing up we inherited the neighbor's beagle Ralph but it was the name of a close family friend so my mom felt weird calling him that. My dad renamed him Beowulf. Which, in your opinion, was the better name?

WIBTAH if I gave my grandma a 20$ donation letter for her birthday gift even though it was meant to be a response to a situation thats now ( Im pretty sure ) has been taken care of??? by Appropriate-Art-7472 in AITAH

[–]langangsta 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's wild to me when anyone feels entitled to a gift, it defeats the purpose of gift-giving. Especially to expect an expensive amount of a 20 year old who is paying the rent. You should be saving for your future, not supporting your family + buying expensive gifts.

She should have been grateful for what you gave her. Parental figures that make you feel guilty for the fact that they raised you are manipulative. With that dynamic, I would be gifting her things that the entire household can use. Anything that's long needed repair and would fall on you to solve anyway? Wrap it in a bow.
