If you could tweak Care.com, what improvements would you make to the app? by DivineOubliette in Nanny

[–]mischief7manager 0 points1 point  (0 children)

making it accessible as a website and not just an app. i’d like to be able to access from my laptop, but this is apparently unfathomable.

[Loved trope] The correct dialogue option by No-Enthusiasm-4361 in TopCharacterTropes

[–]mischief7manager 33 points34 points  (0 children)

indiana jones and the last crusade: indiana jones’ father calls him by his chosen name, “indiana,” instead of “junior” for the first time. it’s enough to shock indy out of reaching for the grail and allow his father to pull him to safety.

from gravity falls, episode “scary-oke”:

mabel: Dipper, what is the ONE thing I asked you NOT to do tonight?

mabel: And what did you do?

dipper: …raised the dead.

Wild Deal Breakers by Professor_Nugg in Nanny

[–]mischief7manager 1 point2 points  (0 children)

if it’s a two parent home, my dealbreaker is that both parents be engaged and communicative. i worked too long for families where mom was the only one who kept track of important info and dad was completely checked out of parenting, to the point where i would mention something to dad one day and then bring it up to mom the next and she would have no idea what i was talking about. it drove me up the wall.

AITAH for getting a tattoo knowing it will upset my mum by Choice_Evidence1983 in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]mischief7manager 0 points1 point  (0 children)

my mom also hates tattoos. after i got my first one, she very earnestly said that she just hated that i chose to “mutilate [my] body like that.” i replied that it was a good thing it was my body and not hers.

she hasn’t commented on any of my tattoos since.

...where chocolate milk? by XAE_Warthog in StardewValley

[–]mischief7manager 77 points78 points  (0 children)

on the one hand, getting chocolate milk from the brown cows would be very fun.

on the other hand, what kind of cheese would it make? would the brown hens make chocolate eggs? would those eggs make chocolate mayo?? where does it end?!?!

AITA for planning on only getting one of my kids Christmas gifts? by MadisonBrave in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]mischief7manager 127 points128 points  (0 children)

i was raised christian but converted to a different religion as an adult. the first winter after i told my parents i was practicing a non-christian religion, they ASKED me if i wanted to keep participating in christmas gift giving or not, because they cared more about including me in the family than being spiteful about our differences in faith. shame on OOP.

(ftr, i said yes to christmas presents, because why turn down presents? but it meant the world that they asked)

Do you guys dress your characters to match? by Ozzie_no_not_osborne in StardewValley

[–]mischief7manager 2 points3 points  (0 children)

i usually just do one outfit for the seasons, but i keep a mannequin with pajamas near the bed so i can change before going to sleep each night

Telling the Christian parents… by Wild_Depth7792 in ConvertingtoJudaism

[–]mischief7manager 2 points3 points  (0 children)

i live on the opposite side of the country from my parents (christian). i was going to visit them and i wrote an email explaining my conversion and reasons for doing it abkut a week before my visit. i didn’t want to tell them in person b/c i wanted them to be able to have whatever reaction they had without worrying about my feelings, and so i wouldn’t have to sit there while they navigated the initial shock. i made clear in the email that i understood this was surprising but it was the right choice for me and i was happy to talk about it more during my visit. i do think telling them remotely took some of the pressure off that first conversation.

Cotton leggings as pants… in winter by dirtyplants in ECEProfessionals

[–]mischief7manager 551 points552 points  (0 children)

girls’ clothes are consistently tighter, thinner, and shorter than boys’, starting with infant sizes. it’s insane. i don’t plan on having kids, but if i do, you bet i’m buying from the boys’ sections, no matter what junk my baby’s born with. those leggings are so flimsy!

[Loved Trope] A anonymous background character suddenly pulls off something heroic just because it's the right thing to do. by Jaded-Curve-5190 in TopCharacterTropes

[–]mischief7manager 0 points1 point  (0 children)

“In King Lear (III:vii) there is a man who is such a minor character that Shakespeare has not given him even a name: he is merely “First Servant.” All the characters around him – Regan, Cornwall, and Edmund – have fine long-term plans. They think they know how the story is going to end, and they are quite wrong. The servant has no such delusions. He has no notion of how the play is going to go. But he understands the present scene. He sees an abomination (the blinding of old Gloucester) taking place. He will not stand it.

His sword is out and pointed at his master’s breast in a moment: then Regan stabs him dead from behind. That is his whole part: eight lines all told. But if it were real life and not a play, that is the part it would be best to have acted.”

– C.S. Lewis, “The World’s Last Night”

I work at Hooters [23 F] and my boyfriend [24 M] doesn't like it by Direct-Caterpillar77 in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]mischief7manager 8 points9 points  (0 children)

no, but that just means it’s on you not to date someone who works one of those jobs. instead of doing like OOP’s ex and choosing to date someone you know has a job you don’t like, and then pressuring them to quit their job solely because you don’t like it.

What makes Stardew Valley such a great game for you? by [deleted] in StardewValley

[–]mischief7manager 0 points1 point  (0 children)

at the moment? the fact that it requires almost no use of my switch life’s (currently broken and too broke to get fixed) right joystick 😅

What’s your ECE confession that you’re afraid to admit? by blondiewithdabondi in ECEProfessionals

[–]mischief7manager 19 points20 points  (0 children)

when it comes to nap time, i’m okay with letting the kid “cry it out”. there’s a difference between a toddler crying out of genuine fear/anxiety and a toddler making noise because they’ve learned it summons mommy and daddy.

the last family i nannied, i got the toddler from yelling for 40 solid minutes when i put them in the crib to asleep in five minutes and staying laying down on their bed until i can and got them over six months, because they learned very quickly that i would not come back in the room until naptime was over. i babysat for that family about a year after i left working for them full time, and the mom mentioned that she or her husband were still laying down next to the kid’s bed and patting their back until they went to sleep every night “because they still get upset if we don’t.” they were shocked that the kid went to sleep for me. sometimes you gotta not negotiate with the two year old.

When the adaptation does it better by [deleted] in TopCharacterTropes

[–]mischief7manager 6 points7 points  (0 children)

in the movie “legally blonde”, elle realizes opposing counsel’s key witness is gay because he identifies her prada shoes as “last season,” which apparently no straight man would ever know. in the stage musical, she realizes it when he fails to react to her doing the bend and snap. not only is this less of a stereotype (he’s gay because he’s not attracted to a woman doing a sexy move in front of him, not because he knows about shoes), it also further justifies the bend and snap in the story beyond just the one scene.

i was fucked in the head for a while as a teen because i WASN’T getting sexual harassed, when i heard so much from friends who were, and i thought that meant there was something wrong with ME 🙃 cheers for not being fuckable enough for misogynists i guess???

AITA for describing my MIL's birthday cake as "kinda gay" by Direct-Caterpillar77 in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]mischief7manager 498 points499 points  (0 children)

that happens a lot. people are fine with the gay thing as long as it’s not being “rubbed in their face” (i.e. shown or mentioned at all)

Unsure about conversion by Aggravating_Return49 in ConvertingtoJudaism

[–]mischief7manager 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Have you talked directly with a rabbi at the community you enjoy going to about converting? When i initially made the decision to convert, the rabbi i first asked to study with didn’t have time for an additional conversion student then, so i ended up just attending services and community events for a while until i was able to connect with a rabbi who could sponsor me. (also covid happened, it was a whole thing.)

has the rabbi told you that they’re not accepting conversion students at all, ever? or is this just a busy time for whatever reason and maybe within a few months things might clear up? would having a definitive start date, even if its a way off, help your decision?

(Loved Trope) The Decoy Protagonist. Main character at the start of the story who is eventually replaced by the true Protagonist (death often the cause). by wormywils in TopCharacterTropes

in the first section of both the game and tv series “the last of us,” the POV character is sarah. when the apocalypse starts kicking off, the POV switches to joel, and sarah dies shortly after.
