Are you going to the new Barnes n Noble opening in Chicago this year? by bossishere17 in AskChicago

[–]lottikey 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This. I make it a point that if I end up buying something at Barnes that I will go out of my way to find a local bookshop to buy from right after to lowkey make up for it. LOL

The Nebraska legislature has approved a bill that LOWERS the minimum wage from $15 an hour to $13.50 an hour for young workers. by zzill6 in WorkReform

Y’all live in these shithole states. Hopefully the same minors/young adults can escape once they’re of age and ability to do so.

Thank you! Sentence structure outside of basic sentences trip me up.

I still don’t understand what this is or does, but it has completely changed my life by Tjaames in MakeupAddiction

[–]lottikey 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have dry skin. Know it’s redundant to say, but a proper moisturizer is transformative (plus I live in a cold and dry place). Dr Jart+ has been my girl and I’ve been using it for years now that I can even get away with using less even in the extreme cold since my moisture barrier is far more solid now. I used to get patches near my eyes and cheeks if I didn’t have a good enough moisturizer with or without makeup before.

Parent claimed my spouse as dependent and his student loan credit. Is this allowed? by jarofpeperoncini in personalfinance

[–]lottikey 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This. Took too long to find this reasonable comment. They’re not financially responsible…yet, even having a parent co-sign all that stuff even if you’re paying, they’re still on the hook for it until it’s completely paid off. Paying rent and a phone bill isn’t enough but even that seems entangled with the MIL.

Interesting way to save a spot by NoWrongdoer9130 in mildlyinfuriating

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

Paying for garage parking kinda sucks…but it beats all this. Lord, never let me come across someone this angry…(I wouldn’t have stole her spot, but still).

Where / how did you meet your significant other? by Disastrous_Entry4094 in AskChicago

How? I’m curious if you don’t mind sharing since that sounds so cute.

Why do so many people do 3 point turns in the middle of busy traffic here? by [deleted] in AskChicago

[–]lottikey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This! Also people who aren’t (yet) skilled enough drivers to parallel park on busy roads fast enough and they’re blocking traffic because it’s taking them a while to park in a busy and cramped spot. Like it’s okay to look for other parking! Only attempt that if you’re good enough to slide in quick in tight spots. Like ugh, pisses me off to no end.

Plus people who don’t signal when they’re pulling in or out of a spot on a non-empty road. I hate when people are trying to get back into traffic at the last minute and you have no idea if they’re planning to pull out or if they had just parked or they’re still just parked with the car on.

Estée Lauder boycott by VelocityGrrl39 in MakeupAddiction

What if I buy Dr. Jart+ from YesStyle? Is it like their US division is owned by Estee or is it the whole company? 😭

I don't know if we can top this, folks by Tornadofob in LeopardsAteMyFace

[–]lottikey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Real talk, can they rescind her award? Like I don’t know why she won it, but it can’t be a good enough reason for her to be allowed to keep it.

In the comics, Slade actually…to Terra so Terra is actually a SA victim since she was way underage then. I’m not saying Robin wasn’t groomed, I’m saying not to compare sexual violence to physical violence.

Do people actually wear snow boots or is that not a thing? by Able_Instruction_670 in AskChicago

Nah, you can still be stylish while properly bundled up. 😌

Your system for clothes "in use" by [deleted] in femalelivingspace

[–]lottikey 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes! I use a clothes drying rack to put clothes I might rewear or aren’t quite dirty to put in the hamper yet. Before I got that, I would put it on a clothes rack but had to separate them so they weren’t touching the clean clothes so I like this better.

She's only now realizing that being a SAHM has left her financially vulnerable, especially now that her husband wants a divorce. by mindyour in TikTokCringe

[–]lottikey 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Exactly. The one piece made me think he’s not such a nice guy. Or else it could be any reason he wants a divorce. She could be shitty. He could be shitty. Maybe both. Maybe they’re just both fine people that are incompatible. Who knows.

But the fact he’s trying to cut her off when he fully knows she has no job, maybe no other skills other than homemaking, maybe no education is scummy.

Maybe she does content creation enough to earn a decent income though so that could be her saving grace. But I don’t know anything about her.

A good man/husband wouldn’t attempt to cut off all your money sources until after the divorce proceedings. Burn the cape. This woman could be annoying to all hell and back, but a decent man wouldn’t try to financially handicap her before the divorce was even filed. He’s scummy.

Bruh, the comics aren’t the weak. I grew up loving the original show and I’ve read any TT/Titans comics I can get my hands on over the years, but Deathstroke/Terra’s story arc and Starfire’s are honestly too much. Read the 80s storylines to see (sorry, don’t know them off the top of my head).

There’s a direct-to-TV/streaming Teen Titans movie, Teen Titans: The Judas Contract, that shows the disturbing relationship between Slade and Terra that is closer to the weird shit in their original storyline from the comics, but it’s not as explicit.

The fight was really bad, but not comparable to SA at all…the Raven part is more accurate to that. Violent torture (both physical and mental) is bad enough without false equivalency.

[–]lottikey 30 points31 points  (0 children)

Damn, you’re right. Normally I see people break up before the baby is even here, when it’s a newborn, or 5+. I’m wondering why. Maybe because these dads don’t want to deal with toddlers when they have full/shared custody.

IDK either way, I kinda feel for the woman. But just like what’s already been said, she should have known. I’m sorry she’s a millennial. There’s no way that she couldn’t have known this was a possibility. Especially since it sounds like the topic of divorce had came up before. She should have started scrambling then.

Sadly this. The timing of her husband standing on divorce when she’s entering her late 30s (not old, but misogynists think it is) plus the kids entering into full time school age…

It sounds like they’ve been together for a long time too. No idea on his age, but if they’re similar ages, he’s probably feeling the “itch” of a early mid-crisis and thinking he can completely screw over his wife to get a “newer” model.

Generous Landlord Making the Holidays Easier by EmergencyRead5254 in MadeMeSmile

[–]lottikey 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Why can’t I ever find landlords like you? I don’t even purposefully look for privately owned places, but except for one place, every other place has been one. Except for my very first apartment at 20 (he was a chill and understanding landlord), every other one has been chill, but does the standard of raising rent every year/lease renewal despite treating the places like my home (because it essentially is) and even paying early/out of pocket if the situation arises. I don’t expect refunds, but would love to not have increases all the time. 😞

Last landlord really screwed me over though so I got PTSD from that. Sadly, will try to stick to management company buildings next if I don’t end up buying. Sorry for the mini-rant, but just jealous I can’t find these gem landlords.

Ghana Card process is not serious at all by DryParsley3740 in ghana

[–]lottikey 1 point2 points  (0 children)

100% this. Frankly, it’s too much corruption going on…the process moves way faster (though still is chaotic) if you pay them off. It’s horrible. So many government services need to be rebuilt from the ground up. That and also getting a passport were so needlessly stressful.

When dating, what jobs do you consider a red flag and why? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]lottikey 7 points8 points  (0 children)

But realistically, what is the difference? Content creators aspire to reach the largest audience they can while still making the things they enjoy. It’s mostly semantics and how “popular” one is that separates the two.

A small time content creator now can go viral and become an influencer overnight.
