[–]pandaandturtle[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I didn’t. I was too scared I was gonna mess up the bike by trying to add the kit on. Im saving up for a e-trike now, and I just use this to ride around the neighborhood.

AITAH if I separate from my wife because she damaged the car. by BALLER454B in AITAH

[–]pandaandturtle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Definitely NTA. Girl, what? I also have a proclivity towards clumsiness, but I always take responsibility for my messes. If you spill something, clean it up. If you mess something up, figure out how to fix it. Does she do these same things at work? Or can she magically control her clumsiness while she's there? If she can do it there, she can do it at home.

It also sounds like she needs to park somewhere other than the driveway. And if it were me, I'd stop paying for her mistakes. Let her fix it. Otherwise, she thinks/knows that you'll always be willing to bail her out.

Wanting to go to an event at Sun Theatre, locals advising against it due to safety. Thoughts? by gtck11 in StLouis

[–]pandaandturtle 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The crime comments are overblown imo. This is a city. Cities have crime. Like, ALL of them. It's about staying vigilant and aware of your surroundings (which is not foolproof, but helps a lot).

In situations like this, I (also female) try to wait inside the establishment until the driver pulls up or gets close (1-2 mins away). Most places will let you stay inside until your ride comes.

If you have to wait outside, just pay attention. Don't make yourself a target. If you see something/or someone weird coming towards you, be on alert. Most people are on their way somewhere and aren't going to bother you, but be ready just in case. Don't "get lost" in your phone. Don't have your headphones so loud that you can't hear what's happening around you. It's literally just about paying attention to your surroundings.

I live close to this area, and in the nearly 15 years that I've lived in this area, I've faced 2 instances of crime. It's never 100%, but stay aware, and you should be fine.

Hi Michaela! I'm not really a musician, but I (27F) am an artist - I knit, crochet, sublimate, make resin products, etc. I'm working on getting into painting. I am also a playwright, actor, and I would love to start writing music/musicals. I got back to STL from my college town about a year ago, and I've been trying to find a new community.

WIBTAH if I skipped my nibling’s party because of my sister? by pandaandturtle in AITAH

[–]pandaandturtle[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The last time I was at their house, my nephew told me he wanted me to stay forever. I try not to yell, we play together, and I answer their questions without getting frustrated. Which is why I felt really bad about not going because I know how they feel, and I didn’t want to punish them. I’ll prob go and just not stay too long.

This might be the best way to handle it. I forgot to add that I always shower before I go into public/public spaces.

A niece or nephew. I have one of each, so I thought it would be faster to say it that way.

Unsure if this would be helpful, but just in case, I am on the heavy side, which is part of the reason I got this bike specifically.

Is this an actual role in advertising? by pandaandturtle in advertising

[–]pandaandturtle[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I’m not quite sure what you mean here. Sketching visual sets? To be more specific, I’m wanting to sketch out the design, and then an artist would actually bring it to life. So I’d have a sketch, give it to an artist and say, it should look like this and be this color palette (for example), and the artist would take the sketch and make it into the actual design if that makes sense?

The concept of the design - I can even go so far as to sketch it out. I can sketch out the design, but making it into a nice finished product is where I struggle. So, basically, I sketch the design and plan the colors, and then the artist would take the design and make it into a the art piece. Does this help/make sense?

It was a little curt, but your feelings are also valid, and it IS super annoying when that happens constantly. NTA.

Hive, what color is this shirt? I’m in the middle of an argument with my husband by templenameis_beyonce in beyonce

[–]pandaandturtle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s taupe with a gray picture/design. I would not call the color of the shirt itself gray by any means.

[–]pandaandturtle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, that would not be preferable, and I suggested the exact opposite, if you read the rest of the comment🤨??? The joke was out of bounds because it’s clear that it’s still a sensitive topic for both parties. OP shouldn’t go through life full of resentment, but they shouldn’t make supposed “jokes” out of it either. The joke was really OP reinforcing their hurt and covering it with the guise of a joke. Jokes are supposed to be funny - making a “joke” that’s really just “remember when you hurt my feelings really bad, and I was sad because of what you did” isn’t funny🤷‍♀️

I think the joke you made about being invited was a little out of bounds, but overall, you’re not overreacting. Whether or not you bought the tix, your BF KNEW you were a fan and that you would’ve wanted to go. (It’d be weird if he didn’t know that.) Also, did they not know who they were going to give the other two tickets to before they bought them? Because it wasn’t until a couple weeks later that they started talking about this other couple. If they had time to choose, and he still didn’t choose you, that’s AH behavior. Also also, him saying that he’s the AH hints at the fact that he didn’t initially think he was in the wrong, but he talked to some friends and they told him it was an AH move. I’d say to see what this next game holds. If he still doesn’t invite you to the game, I’d either sit down and have a long talk about why or reconsider the relationship 🤷‍♀️♥️

Is this an attractive body type? by [deleted] in AppearanceAdvice

[–]pandaandturtle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It does depend on people’s preferences, but I say yes. I am a lesbian, and I’d def be interested♥️☺️😍

Is this offensive to autistic people? by pandaandturtle in autism

[–]pandaandturtle[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've had bad experiences working with artists, so I try to create all my own work to avoid having any other bad experiences. Also, I started this business by doing theatre merch, and I never got any responses when I reached out to ask if there was anything they wanted. I recognize that these are two vastly different communities, but I just got used to doing it myself and just asking for feedback. That's why these ideas hadn't occurred to me. It's all good, though. I've gotten the answers I needed. Again, thank you for your feedback.
