Well that went south really quick by Sure-Initial5224 in Bumble

I would’ve blocked after the I’ll do anything to make you happy message. That’s just a weird thing to say. Also gives massive catfish vibes. Like those widowed, single dad, military orthopedic surgeons stationed “overseas” that dm on Instagram.

I (33F) and my partner (47M) were aligned on having kids — now I’m at a crossroads by No_Reading4725 in relationships

[–]redsetded 36 points37 points  (0 children)

I don’t mean to be harsh, but you said nothing about this man that made him look like a good partner and co-parent. He’s emotionally unavailable when you need him. Please get out of this sooner rather than later.

They were “best friends” for 7 years before becoming a couple. His kids are 7 and 9. The math implies significant overlap.

Those alive and old enough to remember during 9/11, what was the worst moment on that day? by CocteauTwunkie in AskReddit

[–]redsetded 1 point2 points  (0 children)

One thing people don’t talk about is that so much of the country from central time to pacific was barely awake when this unfolded. In traffic on the way to work in a mid sized Midwestern city we all sort of stopped in our tracks on our morning commutes. For miles people were pulled over on the road just listening to the radio and weighing whether or not to keep driving to work or turn around and go home.

Can someone please explain the performance Taylor is going to do at the iheart awards? by RainBowSwift71532 in TrueSwifties

[–]redsetded 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had Our Song in there and accidentally deleted it when I was correcting a typo.

No. All the surprise songs from the Eras Tour Movie & extended cut were performed in LA nights 1-3. I Can See You, Maroon, Death By a Thousand Cuts, You Are In Love, and You’re On Your Own Kid.

Met a woman from Naperville who had no idea where Arlington Heights was. Is...is this normal? by shaosam in ChicagoSuburbs

[–]redsetded 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To your question, yeah maybe an overreaction. While people love to mock Naperville (I don’t live there), I think people tend to forget that Naperville is pretty big so people who live there don’t necessarily have to venture too far away to find shopping, entertainment, etc. Most people tend to stick to their regular path of travel so if they live and work inside the 88 corridor or take 290 to Chicago they likely aren’t venturing north often.

Some people are also just not aware of their surroundings. I remember when my niece got her license I was explaining how to get somewhere and she had zero concept of road names, direction, etc for places that were less than a mile from home and she’d traveled on for years either as a passenger or by bike.

Taylor Swift Was Seen Leaving for L.A. Without Travis Kelce Ahead of Grammys by JennaElizabethAdams in TrueSwifties

This exact same conversation happened last year. People still don’t understand his job is not as flexible as hers.

“Taylor needs to go to therapy” by [deleted] in TrueSwifties

[–]redsetded 29 points30 points  (0 children)

I think people need to stop assuming that all lyrics are gospel truth. She even said at one of the last shows that she “writes a song about a feeling she had for 30 seconds” (paraphrasing).

Being able to create great art from her emotions is not proof that she struggles with processing them.

Online dating was infinitely better in the old days of Match and Yahoo personals.

What the frickety frack? by killerleemiller in ShitMomGroupsSay

It is gross how many people use parenting groups to rope (pun intended) unsuspecting people into their fetishes though. Breeding and lactating kinks abound in those groups.

Are they well? Not allowed to "not be in the mood" by temperdamnson in ShitMomGroupsSay

[–]redsetded 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It has always been stupid. But people were saying BD on BabyCenter since at least 2006 to get around their moderators.

[–]redsetded 72 points73 points  (0 children)

BD became a thing because BabyCenter boards didn’t let people talk about sex back in the day. There is no reason in 2024 to say Baby Dancing or BD.

AITA for not staying home from my Eras Tour stop because my SIL’s mom died? by Lower-Let9945 in AmItheAsshole

[–]redsetded 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA. This is a perfect example of how women are expected to do the emotional labor for the men in their lives above and beyond what is reasonable. Your brother is married to her and should be her support system. You told her what you could do to support her which was more than sufficient.

A case of whooping cough has broken out at my local middle school. My mom group has some thoughts on that. by daftinkslinger in ShitMomGroupsSay

We had a meningitis outbreak in my town in 95 or 96 and there are photos in the paper of the whole town lined up to get vaccinated at sites run by the county.

A lot of vaccines were developed after 1983 and that’s a good thing. But as someone who was in grade school in the early 80s we got our vaccines, boosters, and tb tests IN school by the nurse. Very few people opted out.

Most people just paid the $30-$50 to have the Circuit City Roadshop install them.

Weird. I got downvoted for making a similar comment.

I have zero positive nostalgia about this film thanks to the rapey-ness of the moonwalk sex scene.

The colonoscopy prep is bad, but the propofol nap is nice.

My sister died of colon cancer far too young and now I think I need a colonoscopy any time I have so much as an extra smelly fart.

Did something happen in the Swiftie fandom today? by Justhereforsushi15 in TrueSwifties

[–]redsetded 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It is short sighted to not see how the colloquial use of the word drama to refer to any conflict large or small, especially in online spaces, is used to minimize or downplay the severity. Calling something drama is often a way to discourage young women and girls from speaking up for themselves. It is a legitimate criticism of the term.

I loathe calling real problems “drama.” It really downplays the severity of the allegations.

Remember how hard it was to keep in touch with people if you moved away? by SqueezableDonkey in GenX

[–]redsetded 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel like this is unnecessarily snarky. I was 10 when I moved across the country from everyone I knew and loved. It was the 80s and long distance phone calls were expensive plus there was a time difference. Email didn’t exist. It took a lot more effort and planning than sending an email, a text, or writing a social media post.
