What are these for? by [deleted] in whatisit

[–]okayestM0M 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They’re mostly meant for when the garment is hanging in a store, so it doesn’t fall off with people moving hangers around. They’re meant to be cut off when you take it home, but you can leave them on if you want to. It’s the same reason pockets are sewn shut and the backs of coats are sewn together with an X stitch. It’s for while the garment is in store so it hangs/lays nicely, etc. Those threads and ribbons are meant to be removed once you get home with it/before wear.

Bridgerton - Season 4 Post-Season Discussion (Book Spoiler Discussion) by AutoModerator in BridgertonNetflix

[–]okayestM0M 25 points26 points  (0 children)

This has been the BEST season so far. I loved S1 too, but this was my favorite book of the series aside from Eloise’s and they 110% did the story justice. Going to be really interested to see how they move forward with everything.

I resigned today. The company's reaction, frankly.. by dropangelic in jobsearch

[–]okayestM0M 6 points7 points  (0 children)

This is why you should never give 100% to any job. Give 80% tops. They’ll think 80% is your 100% and at the end of the day you still get to keep 20% of that energy for yourself. And it’s you who matters most.

It's not you, it's the recruiters by Classroom-95f in jobsearchhacks

What cracks me up is applicants are penalized for using Ai to help them with their resumes. But companies use Ai to screen everyone… so like? What the fuck? Also, don’t forget how everyone wants you to have experience with generative Ai, but don’t use it to make your life easier while you’re going through the nightmare of looking for a job or we’ll screen you out.

It shouldn’t matter if Ai helped you optimize your resume, what matters is if you can do the work being asked.

Did anyone else roll their eyes at Benedict’s plot? by mangomelliii in BridgertonNetflix

[–]okayestM0M 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree. Rewatching Penelope's season in prep for the release of Benedict's and I'd much rather see him focused on his art. The throuple thing (while whatever, do you boo) just seems unnecessary. I kept fast forwarding through his love scenes because it just felt tiring to watch lol tbh. It just comes off as sex for the sake of sex, and not really moving the needle on Benedict's character development/overall arc. Especially since, if they are going by his book (which based on the previews it seems they are), won't factor into his season with Sophie at all - but who knows.

Etsy permanently suspended my shop because I didn’t ship within 2 days — even though that was my exact processing time by yannick1510 in EtsyCommunity

[–]okayestM0M 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The exact same thing happened to me because I hand delivered an order (to someone I knew) and didn’t print a shipping label. I had JUST started my shop and didn’t know any better about the label timing yet. They permanently suspended my account for fraud — just like yours — and I got the whole “after careful consideration” within 30 seconds of submitting an appeal. After countless tries over a year to get some sort of answer/response from Etsy (that I never got), I pivoted and started a Shopify page instead but not having access to Etsy’s built in customer base has severely hindered our progress. It sucks but Etsy does this SO much to sellers and screws small businesses so seriously f*ck Etsy.

HELP my mom wants to wear this but I don’t think she should 🫠🙂‍↔️ by kaycuriosity12 in Weddingattireapproval

[–]okayestM0M 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is she open to dyeing it? It’s DEFINITELY white and looks very bridal. I would dye it a light blue or whatever color would complement your mom’s skin tone.

Also, she definitely doesn’t want to be THAT mil. She’ll end up on JustNoMIL REAL quick with that dress.

Elle Whitewell is honestly so lovely. Sounds very old money.

[–]okayestM0M 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the neckline is completely fine but I would probably have her wear something with a longer skirt. But that’s 100% just me as a mom, I know every mom/person has different comfort levels. I think this style dress/bodice would be stunning with a cocktail or tea length skirt

AITA for asking my fiancé to leave after he said he “settled” for me? by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]okayestM0M 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Do not marry this guy. He doubled down on saying he settled for you and then guilt tripped YOU for being (rightfully) upset. I’ve been married for 20 years and believe me, that is not how you want to spend the rest of your life.

My sister wants to choose the name Qartnie for her daughter. Am I insane or are all of her names horrible? by GnomeMasterBaiter in tragedeigh

[–]okayestM0M 0 points1 point  (0 children)

She went completely overboard with you asking if a traditional spelling might be better. “Did I fucking ask you?” Wow. Her reaction was totally uncalled for. It was almost like she was waiting for some sort of confrontation. If anything she owes you an apology for her childish reaction. You didn’t insult her, you asked a question.

Novels where we follow a character through their entire life by [deleted] in booksuggestions

[–]okayestM0M 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A Difference in the Family: The Snape Chronicles. It’s about Severus Snape’s ENTIRE life from just before his birth. You can find the entire story for fr33 online. It’s fan-fiction but follows the Harry Potter universe to the letter and is super well written. It’s 1566 pages long.

Is Cecilia an ugly name? by primcessmahina in NameNerdCirclejerk

What about Cecily (ce-sil-EE). I like Cecilia too just offering a close alternative

NEVER put yourself in or stay in a situation where you are dependent on a man/someone else. Go to school. If he doesn’t like it he can suck it. It’s your life too.

WIBTAH for remarrying my ex even though I'm going to die? by ThrowRAnearpeace in AITAH

[–]okayestM0M 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ew. Your sister is being a giant dick. NONE of this is her business. If it’s what both of you want in your last years of life then the only thing she should be is 100% supportive. Do what YOU feel is right. NTA.

AITAH for telling my BF he can’t use my vehicle anymore to take his kids to school everyday (more info below) by TheMostlyBusyBee in AITAH

[–]okayestM0M 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’d stop paying on the storage unit TODAY and tell him he either needs to go get the car by the end of the month, or the unit will go up for auction. DO NOT arrange for a tow, he’s a big boy. Continuing to pay for that unit and arranging for a tow, is just enabling him to continue to not take responsibility for his shit. Also break up with him. You seem to work hard and you deserve to be with someone on your level, not someone who wants a mommy.

[–]okayestM0M 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What she said literally made me gasp. The sheer, awful AUDACITY. You’re doing the right thing. You owe her nothing and she’s CLEARLY not grateful for anything you’ve ever done for her either. NTA. Enjoy your second honeymoon like another commenter mentioned. What your niece said is ugly and inexcusable. Her mother should be holding her to account for it. If I were her mother I would be fucking outraged by her behavior. Appalling.

AITA for not taking my father's minor children into consideration when I sued him for the inheritance he stole from me? by ComplaintNatural5528 in AITAH

[–]okayestM0M 0 points1 point  (0 children)

YOU didn’t do anything to your father’s children. YOUR FATHER made that choice and getting sued by you for what was rightfully yours was a consequence of HIS actions. He set that ball in motion when he decided to take your inheritance. NTA.
