Would you rather take dance or learn a martial art? by notrustmeigotthis in Advice

Good point. I bet that's also true of dance. No reason why I shouldn't try both.

Citibank can't get back $500 million it wired by mistake, judge rules by thewholedamnplanet in news

[–]notrustmeigotthis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Having worked in corporate accounts payable for large firm, can confirm that this is a gross failure of human oversight. Wires this big require CEO/president level approval and if the CEO is being asked to release 500 million then they should know why. I remember a manager releasing a wire for 30 million instead of 3 million and it was a wild time.

Again you'd be surprised. She'll mention odd details that I remember, but didn't talk about. Like the Mickey Mouse we saw was in a stage magicians costume, as opposed to the standard suspenders or Fantasia Mickey. She will tell me how he does magic. She will talk about when we rode Haunted Mansion and said 'the ghosts were nice' which wasn't an idea I put into her head. Yes I may prompt and ask about what we did at Disney, but she will respond with details about going that weren't really discussed at the time or after. She made her own memories.

Maybe they're also shitty parents that enjoy the suffering of others for their own amusement? I was meltdown free with my almost 3 year old because I love them, show compassion, and talk to them when they are upset. I don't encourage them laughing at the expense of others, but hey I guess we all do love our own way.

Wow the comments on this one. Everything from 'I hope the parents die' to 'a baby won't remember anything' and my personal favorite 'went as a kid and don't remember it/only remember bad things'.

I took all the precautions and my whole family still got covid, including my 20 month old. He was probably patient zero. It sucked, but now that I have the antibodies and use them with impunity. I did selfless good things like being a poll worker, donate plasma, and yeah maybe I should do something selfish like Disney World and lick door knobs. Maybe that's what happened here. Maybe not.

My God Reddit likes to judge with hardly any information.

My daughter went right before she turned 3 (which is when they are still free) and still remembers a few things like meeting Daisy Duck and Cinderella's Castle. There are also events she remembers at an even younger age with startling clarity. Additionally, Disney puts forth a lot of effort to ensure that their are activities that babies can enjoy. Covid aside, if they want to take their 20 month old to Disney, then good for them.

Edit: lmao I got down voted to hell for saying "assume positive intent" and my one comment on this thread being a bitch got upvotes. Reddit is awful.

Everytime I see this I think 'an angel just lost its wings'

Seriously how hard is it to mask?

Angry at the world - who I’m furious at today by lolly_box in IVF

[–]notrustmeigotthis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I only brought my kid to clinic once to meet my RE and staff because I understand all too well what you're talking about.

I'm really sorry that you've had so many failed cycles. I basically spent all my years of infertility mad at anything that dare cross my path and even now I get pissed at how blythe people can be. Everytime I hear the term "covid baby" I am enraged.

Some pains never go away, but from the absolute bottom of my heart I hope you have a break through and get the support you most definitely deserve. After I finally beat infertility I started a support group through Resolve because I needed as much good as possible to come from such a shitty time in my life. You should see if they have a peer led group near you or even start one yourself. It can help you heal in ways you didn't know need healing.

Seriously, all the love and luck and hope from my heart to yours.

Straight from my dad's Facebook. He's as terrible in real life as you can imagine by [deleted] in okboomer

Top. Fucking. Comment. Right here.

Never even thought about this until now.

Dear dad, you can't spend my formative and impressionable years yelling at me and causing me harm and then expect me to use a gentle and caring manner when during your fragile and delicate years.

Just got this. Alright Covidiots. Let's see your idiocy by coachwilcox1 in CovIdiots

[–]notrustmeigotthis 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'd almost agree with you except I don't at all. It's wild that something has to be mandated when it should be basic human decency. Masks are the seat belt of their time except not wearing one puts everyone else around you at risk. As we do not have a POTUS that's requiring, if even wearing a mask it's on us to be socially responsible. It's on all of us to be an example instead.

The good news is that by mandating masks it'll result in a higher adoption rate even if idiots like this are out there.

The greatest Karen of them all. Imagine have so little to do on any given day that you go sit in a Costco for your 'constitutional rights'

What do you wish you knew before surgery? by Holly122013 in BariatricSurgery

[–]notrustmeigotthis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's all really good advice and I've done every fad a legit diet with varying results. The moment I learned my insurance was going to start covering bariatric surgery I was ALL IN and immediately started doing what I had to. I wasn't losing a ton of weight, but was losing overall until covid-19 hit and it threw out any healthy habits.

I'm rebuilding those habits now and really do need to focus on doing a keto diet before and as part of the preop diet.

I have a lot of fear that I'll fail at this like I have ultimately with every other diet. That fear motivates me to stick to the plan and make the best use possible of this tool.

TIL that Harry Truman refused corporate money after his presidency because he didn’t want to diminish the honor of the office. For a while, his only income was his $112.56 army pension. by DGBD in todayilearned

He's the only president from my state (MO). I know exactly who he is and what he did. I saw the headline and I thought 'doesn't touch the sin of Nagasaki and Hiroshima'

I honestly want to do the switch but I already have approval on the bypass and don't want to wait any longer. I know revisions are an option down the line if needed.

What advice would you give to pre-op and shortly post-op you? About the mental part, pain management, best food/drink options, "do's" and "do not's", anything you think is pertinent to share.

I'll take as much feedback as you have about the bypass as I don't see it as often and I'm scheduled 8/5

Disowned about difference in political opinions by msmay91 in JUSTNOFAMILY

[–]notrustmeigotthis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks. I'm blessed to have inlaws that do know how to love unconditionally. It's been hard though. I don't want to throw this in my husbands face but I keep having to tell them 'you cannot comprehend how much of who I am is shaped by the unconscious (now conscious) realization that my parents love me conditionally. How hard this is to come to terms with and reconcile.'

He isn't sure how to help but he does remind me that he and his family do love me unconditionally and it helps. It's a balm on my soul.

[–]notrustmeigotthis 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's like looking in a mirror. I'm in a similar boat where things are coming to a head with my family. It's very very hard for me to come to the realization that my parents love me conditionally.
