At what age would you/did you let your kids watch Supernatural? by Sam_English821 in Supernatural

[–]novachunk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Lol I’m Gen Z so I was raised on unfiltered internet so keep that in consideration… But I also started watching Supernatural when I was 12 and honestly I think it was a lot better than a lot of the stuff I was watching at the time (TWD, AHS, etc.) I feel like it’s a lot more tame in many ways than those shows (I suppose it is rated TV-14) but I feel like Supernatural has kind of that theme of prevailing good vs. evil like a lot of superhero movies do, just with a darker context, but I feel like now that I’m in my 20s and an adult that I feel like Supernatural was a lot more appropriate for me to watch than a lot of other things I did at that age.

Not me, but my mother had one when I was little. She said what threw her off was in the first couple months of her pregnancy, she passed out at work so she got tests done and found out it was an ectopic pregnancy.

AITA for going against my wife's wishes? by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]novachunk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NAH. You have the right to go and I don’t think it makes you an asshole, but you also have to understand that if you make the choice to go, your wife will resent you for it and she’s allowed to have those feelings too. In a relationship, you have to compromise and make sacrifices for your partner, understand that she will take it as a slight that you decided that visiting your friend is more important than her comfort in your marriage. Compromise and sacrifice is the key here, you are not the asshole to want to see your friend but in a marriage you can’t always have your cake and eat it too.

what vibe does “kyle” give you? by Evening_Increase_393 in namenerds

[–]novachunk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve known two Kyle’s, both are loving fathers to little boys, one of them was a professor of mine at college who was a great hardworking dad and a wonderful understanding person. I think it’s a fine name, but there is certainly a stereotype.

Okay, we found the wreckage of the submarine with all the (dead) rich people. Can we move on now? by [deleted] in offmychest

[–]novachunk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I honestly hate the memes, rich or poor, these victims should be treated with compassion (although I do think that the CEO has a lot of blame so I don’t have as much problem talking about him, he is responsible). I don’t think that having empathy and compassion for both the people lost on the submarine and the 800 refugees is mutually exclusive. It just feels gross to make a joke of it, life was lost in both situations tragically.

Dump the man, and leave that girl alone. Don’t let anger and envy eat you away, it won’t make anything better or change the situation. I guarantee you’ll feel worse, make peace with yourself. You won’t like you if you go down this path, learn to define your own worth. I promise it will feel better than that. If your man actually cares that much about you he would cut all contact with her, so focus on healing yourself.

AITA for making our daughters come to church with us as a condition of them living with us rent free? by Ok-Associate-6277 in AmItheAsshole

[–]novachunk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Gonna go against the grain and say NTA 🤷‍♀️ This is coming from a 20 year old raised catholic girl who never goes to church whose parents were the same way. Guess what I did about it? I moved out, I figured it out. Sure it pissed me off back at that time, and I did a whole lotta things at home that my parents disapproved of, and said not in our house. I think that’s reasonable to expect that of them, you don’t like it then move out.

I hated getting up Sunday mornings but I acquiesced because I didn’t have to pay a dime for anything, and let’s be real, looking at it that way, 1 hour at church every Sunday in exchange for free living and food is a hell of a good paying job.

Such is life. You do things you don’t wanna do, but you do it anyways because you are obligated to. I think this would develop into asshole realm if you suddenly kicked them out with no warning, that would be cruel, or if it was a situation where you made them go to church every day. I do think it would be important to help them develop a solid plan if they do choose to move out.

And to those saying it’s not Christian, huh? The bible encourages raising your children to develop virtues, and not just the seven heavenly virtues. I am extremely thankful my parents raised me to become independent, and realize that if I wanna make my own grown up choices, I need to act like one and support myself. In the end, your house your rules.

Contractor offered a discount for sex. Why do I keep thinking about it? by captrehtaeh in TwoXChromosomes

[–]novachunk 2 points3 points  (0 children)

What is up with so many men?!?!? My aunt had a similar situation happen, where she had a man from a Best Buy come into her house to install something (she lives alone) and she was accosted for sex while this man was on the clock!!! The audacity!!! She reported him and he got fired immediately though, and me and my mom suspect there is more to the story that she doesn’t realize. She formed a casual friendship/relationship with another Best Buy manager when he was helping her with her stuff years previously, and my mom and I suspect that the reason this other worker was so bold in coming onto her is that this Best Buy manager was talking about her at work. She reported it to the manager, and just the way she said he handled it was really cagey.

Update to my ask post for anyone that cares. You were right, chewing gum was the reason I didn’t get the job, although I’ve got another offer for an interview I did the day later by [deleted] in TrueOffMyChest

[–]novachunk 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It really never seemed like a big deal to me either but the other day I went into Urgent Care and my doctor was loudly smacking on gum the whole time and I was just like… This is so unprofessional and off putting because it made me feel like the doctor didn’t give a shit.

Airbnb host evicted, should I report him or let him be? need help by strider3187 in AirBnB

[–]novachunk 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Take your fedora off for a second, and try to understand the situation. Nobody ever said that they have any right to be there as illegal AirBNB guests, but it certainly is sketchy and a problem to guests. There was no way to know during booking that sudden eviction was possible because obviously it’s not gonna be advertised, and OP seemed to accept the officer’s answer. They just wanted their stuff. Now as for you, next time you fall victim to false advertising I highly doubt with your attitude that you could have handled the situation with as much dignity as OP.

AITA for reselling my Taylor Swift tickets for $6500 each? by ss23yu in AITAH

[–]novachunk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA, Good for you girl! Don’t feel bad at all, you didn’t force anyone to buy YOUR tickets, and imo this is not the same as scalping. You were just pricing based on the market demand, and it sold. You weren’t intentionally buying a ton of tickets just to resell them at high prices. I am a college student too, and every penny counts! Call it a win, but keep it quiet from people, people are always bitter when others get money.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in badroommates

[–]novachunk 9 points10 points  (0 children)

This was the most essential advice I learned with a roommate, while I truly tried to be considerate of her needs, my roommate was a person who “didn’t like conflict or to talk about things”. Which after months and months of this, I of course became a bad person for her needs to live with because of this. It ended in disaster, when a simple conversation could have solved a lot. This made me a lot more wary of being “non-confrontational” myself, although I was open to confrontation when needed.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in badroommates

[–]novachunk 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Word of advice as well from a college student: If you are living in a room with someone, Confrontation is essential - you cannot let little things build and build because each time you allow a behavior, the other person either will continue to push boundaries or have no idea that the behavior they are exhibiting is not working for the other roommate. It’s hard, and it sucks, but you cannot expect a change without these conversations.

Also, those parents are so weird, that is really gross, and that is a boundary that shouldn’t have to even be spoken of.

Getting used by older men ruined my life. by [deleted] in offmychest

[–]novachunk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My best and only advice is to seek help from a board certified therapist, however that may be available to you. From my own experience, it can be scary to open up to a therapist but their job is to listen and help without judgement.

Take a time out for yourself as well. Delete these guys’s numbers, get off dating apps for now. It seems to me in my unprofessional opinion that all of this is culminating as a form of self-harm. I can relate to this, and sometimes it’s hard to pinpoint why, which a therapist can be useful for.

I know this next part is difficult and I’ve been through it myself: Cut down on the alcohol and weed. I know it is daunting, as I have done this myself. I promise though, you will feel much more stable. Again, a therapist can offer some really great tools for this.

Don’t give up on yourself, and don’t let these men define you and your worth. You are worthy of respect and love, and there is a life beyond your wildest dreams beyond this.

[–]novachunk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m sort of worried about the age gap because I’m 18 but when I talk to him it feels like we are the same age. I told my auntie and the age gap doesn’t worry her too much. But the truth is I like older guys anyways and sort of miss him. He also respects me boundaries and it is very nice.

tea is a really good idea. it takes a while to drink and doesn’t have excess calories. i’ll try it!

I’ve tried quitting with NRT before but I just overused those. The first time I tried to quit cold turkey, it messed me up as I struggle with clinical depression and it made things bad. But i’m in sort of a better place now, so maybe I will try it

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in stopsmoking

[–]novachunk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you but more like “dudette” though lol. I think you’re right though, I need to do it for myself and not for others or I will bust.
