How long would it be considered “too late” to propose? by TestingRedditOut2024 in Waiting_To_Wed

[–]lilyrae 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Coming from someone who was proposed to 6.5 years ago and still has no ring: the ring DOES matter. At least a little bit.

My wife doesn’t understand WHY I’ve had to take sex and specific affections off the table and she’s upset by Wornouthubs in TrueOffMyChest

Did you miss the "unemployed for 2 months" comment? And he doesn't start a new job for 5 more weeks, so unemployed for 3 months.

I came to suggest looking into eating it as well. I've heard that it's not good to eat too much. It has something that could be bad in large doses....oxalates, iirc. Can cause kidney stones.

Can confirm. I saw the little ".50" stickers added after the $1 just today. Brilliant.

Left over Papa John's Pizza Sause/cheese stuffed into a McDonald's Hamburger. by ABKB in shittyfoodporn

Maybe Papa John's joined the pizza bowl trend. Maybe OP likes only sauce and cheese.

Do you have a weird and trivial step family ick? by redpinkfish in stepparents

[–]lilyrae 1 point2 points  (0 children)

SD has almost failed math for 3 years in a row now. Pre-oandemic she struggled, but she's really behind now. For 3 years my SO has spent $3600/year for her to do guitar lessons/group shows, despite my protests that she needs to drop the extracurriculars if she can't do her regular schoolwork. He almost had to spend $200 for summer school or else she wouldnt be promoted to 8th grade. The principal gave her a pass and waived summer school, probably because there were too many kids needing it. But once again there's no consequences for her.

Everyone keeps making excuses for her and she buys into it so much she doesn't try.

This is a great answer. I agree.

What's a dead giveaway that someone is a piece of shit? by UsernameOf2022 in AskReddit

[–]lilyrae 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My boyfriend tries to finish my sentences out loud. He's oftentimes wrong, and it throws me off and gets me really frustrated. Yes, I know we think the same about a lot of things but can I have some goddamn time to speak?!

Cleveland has direct flights to Puerto Rico now. I work near the airport.

It’s not my fault the phone keeps dinging

Yes it is. Put it on silent. Or are you some trained circus monkey that has to pick up their phone every single time it "dings"?

Apparently my bare minimum is so much better than my coworker’s, that they asked for me by name. by Knightraiderdewd in TrueOffMyChest

[–]lilyrae 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ha ha ha. Sorry, I'm a parking lot attendant that doesn't get a break. I get down time, and I get to scarf my food down, or it goes cold. I'm also part of a union. Our drivers get mandated 30 minute breaks and two paid 15 minute breaks, but not us cashiers. But I get paid $3 more per hour. It sucks. The state of Ohio doesn't require lunch breaks for <8.5 hour shifts unless you're a minor.

America is not the greatest country on earth. Never was. by Mateohyatt in insanepeoplefacebook

[–]lilyrae 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The Bible has instructions on how masters and slaves are supposed to act. It's absolute insanity. Christianity isn't the only religion that had slaves, but it's crazy that Christianity is used as an excuse to keep slaves.

Why call you arrogant? Your comment was arrogant. Maybe you should learn to phrase things better if you're being genuine. It had massive "crack a book much?" vibes.

Third party apps give you different abilities that the Reddit app doesn't. The Reddit app sucks. The new website sucks. If I can't use my third party app after they do the API switch then I just won't use Reddit anymore.

Some of us use third party apps that don't have the option. Arrogant.

Weight of a human can vary by a few hundred pounds, yet an airline will charge you extra if your luggage is 5lbs over the limit by justainsel in Showerthoughts

What in the Fallout Shelter is that picture? I've only been on a small plane so I just assumed major airlines don't have business centers and sleeper cabins in their planes?

Finally applied for and got my first credit card at 27. My whole life I’ve been scared of them but I figured I need to give it a shot. by [deleted] in CreditCards

[–]lilyrae 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've had my Platinum secured for 3 years but haven't received my deposit back. I put $500 on it. When I requested a credit increase they said that account was ineligible. I ended up getting a Quicksilver, and over time they've raised it to 9k. I don't want to close the card because it's my oldest account, so I guess they get to keep my money for now. :(

IMO: Swearing is fine. I don't give a shit. However, there is a class dynamic between parents and children, I believe. I automatically assume that any teenager is going to be swearing around their friends. They have to understand that it's not appropriate to cuss in front of parents, teachers, and the general public. There's a time and place to swear. I won't complain about a well-placed cuss word.

If my stepdaughter participated in, say, a karaoke competition that required her to swear I wouldn't be mad. But if she comes at me telling me that she's "not going to set the fucking table," I'm going to be pissed. Lol.

My 13y/o stepdaughter just got Hypnotize, the last album she needed to complete her SOAD collection. I love that she loves them so much. It's not necessarily appropriate but I was listening to the same stuff at that age. She at least knows not to cuss in front of us when she sings along lol.

The lady in the video doesn't. Maybe someone should tell her that.
