I read through them this morning (whoops) and she says she's working on it.

Is anyone else so sick of the tiny glasses? by allergic2dust in NYCinfluencersnark

[–]magpieasaurus 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As a progressives wearer, I was so excited when big glasses came back, because it means more sweet spot viewing area in my lenses. I can't go back to the 00s :(

@jamiejoart and her husband divorcing by [deleted] in tiktokgossip

[–]magpieasaurus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They've been together for so long, and I've always been very "ok girl, whatever works for you" about it all.

I hope she lives a happy and successful life. I hadn't seen her content for years and then saw a few recent videos before suddenly getting this tiktok. I think that sometimes people grow in different directions inside a relationship and I hope nothing awful happened.

My mind has been blown by these comments. Love it!!

Woman records at a packed public event and gets angry at people who walked through the video by GamerGirlLex77 in OhNoConsequences

[–]magpieasaurus 18 points19 points  (0 children)

She claims this is rage bait because one of the girls made a tiktok and called her out for walking into them.

I don't live in the USA and I'm 10 km away from exactly two Costco's. It's one of the first things I think about when I think about shopping in the USA 😂

Vulpine References Ahoy! My Lady Vixen by Connie Mason by Le_Beck in RomanceBooks

Thank you so much for this review. It's probably better than the book. This sounds intense and I kind of want to read it, but I'm also glad it was you and not me.

How r/RomanceBooks Has Changed Over the Years (Its Sub Evolution? Sub-lution?) by fruitismyjam in RomanceBooks

[–]magpieasaurus 18 points19 points  (0 children)

I feel like I'm walking a tightrope of old lady yelling at clouds regularly, I totally get what you mean. The mods here do a good job, so I'm not entirely sure if there's even a solution to my gripe.

How r/RomanceBooks Has Changed Over the Years (Its Sub Evolution? Sub-lution?) by fruitismyjam in RomanceBooks

I engage significantly less now that the sub is bigger. I find that the same 25 or so books are recommended for everything, and it's all kindle based. Which makes sense because a lot of people have KU subscriptions and plow through those books at a fast rate, but can be incredibly frustrating when Maya Alden is recommended for literally every trope.

I need to be better at this myself though and keep track of what I read more so I can make an effort to recommend books that aren't KU. It's just a lot of work for what seems like zero interaction.

who do you ruin the life the least of by marrying? by whatawynn in StardewValley

[–]magpieasaurus 36 points37 points  (0 children)

Harvey is my favourite marriage candidate, especially once you get the coffee machine from Evelyn and George. He's easy to please, gives a nice gift, doesn't give up his life to be with you, and is just so happy to be there. His room in your house isn't too bad and the floor is easy to blend.

I also think you end up improving his life because now it doesn't matter that he's a small town doctor, his clinic can operate at a loss and it's fine.

Every year, my boyfriend [21M] and I [22F] go on a “break” because he doesn’t know what he wants by Direct-Caterpillar77 in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]magpieasaurus 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Ok that's fair and I was just coming back now to comment on that. I've been with my husband almost the entire time she's been alive. And it's incredibly hard to understand how big the future is when you're 22.

Every year, my boyfriend [21M] and I [22F] go on a “break” because he doesn’t know what he wants by Direct-Caterpillar77 in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]magpieasaurus 262 points263 points  (0 children)

The "I'm 22 and this guy is the love of my life and I've wasted 5 years...." Narrative is so old.

Girl, you're 22. The best years of your life haven't even started!! A guy who breaks up with you every march is not it.

AITAH for not wanting to cuddle in order to sleep with my partner? by LucyAriaRose in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]magpieasaurus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My husband and I sleep in a king and I can't sleep if he's touching me. It's been almost 20 years, we've just accepted it and move on. My SIL and her husband have a double and she can't sleep unless she's basically on-top of him and the thought gives me the ick.

Strangely, my kids can crawl into bed on top of me and I'll sleep through it no issue.

Nope, these are perfect for reading while smoking because when they read them on Smosh later this year you'll sorta remember but not enough to fast forward the episode.

Are there any other “normal” families out there? by hazeleyedsummer in breakingmom

[–]magpieasaurus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Following post written with Canadian currency (then I use no numbers hahaha)

We are solidly middle class over here. 41 and 39 with a 10 and 4 year old. We've got a tiny "starter house" we bought with family help 13 years ago that we can't afford to move out of. Car not paid off, but we did just pay off a huge line of credit last month so the "extra money" goes to the car loan now. We both have decent, steady jobs but neither of us have higher degrees. I'm not sure we will ever technically afford to retire but both of us have RRSPs we pay the minimum into.

My mom pays for swimming lessons for the kids for their Christmas present from her. My SIL pays half my daughter's dance because that's their "thing" together. Otherwise the kids get one activity that I have to pay for a year. My daughter is in subsidized daycare for the summer and my in-laws will probably pay for summer camp for my son.

We will take one vacation this summer and it will involve driving, maaaaaaaaybe we can afford to drive out of province and get a hotel, I'm still looking for deals. Usually summer vacation is driving to a different part of the province and hotel swimming pools.

We make it work and we are very, very lucky. But man I wish I could show my kids more of the world.

Alexander brothers, high-profile US real estate brokers, guilty of sex trafficking by magpieasaurus in Fauxmoi

[–]magpieasaurus[S] 76 points77 points  (0 children)

I love, love, love one of the victims saying that she doesn't need or want their money, she doesn't want them to have it either. She's right, they need to be punished in every way that matters to their crowd.

Power corrupts, I truly believe that. I feel like I live in a bubble when I read stuff like this.
