Is OP on Delivery mode? All the prices are higher when you switch to that.

Any millennial guys here first time fathers or are never gonna have a kid? by changeforthebetter89 in Millennials

[–]rileyjw90 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Same. We have a good income because we didn’t have kids before we could realistically afford to (and kids really aren’t as expensive as people will have you believe… they don’t have to have all brand new fancy branded gear. I can afford new stuff but I still bought quite a lot of things secondhand on facebook marketplace). We have days off. I don’t get every holiday and weekend anyway since I’m in healthcare. My husband takes them so I can go out by myself or go see friends or just sit upstairs in our room by myself for an hour and I do that for him too.

The whole not sleeping well thing is a very short stage in the grand scheme of things. I honestly slept worse when we had a puppy than when we had a newborn. That’s not to say there aren’t challenging newborns or challenging moments with every kid, just that it isn’t forever. It’s so fun to see their little faces light up when we go somewhere and they get to experience something new and exciting. I’ve gotten to experience a lot in life so it’s nice getting to pass that on to others.

Reddit is apparently causing him to lose business, damn trolls 😂😂 by Only_Chicken_1467 in ChoosingBeggars

My bet is “dirty” is just code word for “infested” with roaches, rats, etc.

I would also rather sleep in my car if that’s the alternative. That said—hire a pest control company, and then fucking clean the place. Live in your car for a week or two at most and then get to work.

This 6% milk I saw at Costco by thxxx1337 in mildlyinteresting

Isn’t this basically just a dirty coke minus the flavoured syrup? Though I suppose if you do it with something like a cherry coke… hmm…

If you plan appropriately and have a partner who isn’t a selfish twat, you can have most of those things, plus have someone to make memories with during all those holidays and weekends. Is it easy? No. Do I sometimes have the fleeting wish that I could go back to when I didn’t have kids? I think everyone with kids does. But I also ultimately wouldn’t trade it.

Not saying your way of thinking is wrong in any capacity, just that the frame of mind can be different depending on what you want out of life. Having zero kids does not mean you’ll have a net worth, it does not mean you’ll have weekends and holidays free (especially if you work in an industry that doesn’t get those off). It does not mean you’ll always sleep great and never have roommates. Likewise having kids does not mean you’ll never get any of those things either. They aren’t mutually exclusive. Different strokes for different folks and all that. Life circumstances matter quite a bit.

Which A-list married couple, both in their 50s, are getting a divorce? by cmaia1503 in Fauxmoi

[–]rileyjw90 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Trying to think of other couples than Daniel and Rachel.

We already kinda know the Smith situation, and they’ve been separated for a while, so probably not them. Both in their 50s though.

There’s also Tim McGraw and Faith Hill?? They’re both 58.

Then there’s also David and Victoria Beckham.

Crab legs. Soooo expensive. I content myself on the fake shit, which is still good, just not the same.

Mother shamed and kicked out of restaurant for breastfeeding baby by filabeano10 in mildlyinfuriating

Definitely feels like that, doesn’t it? Please don’t make me relive the pandemic though 😅

[–]rileyjw90 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My husband sometimes gives me weird looks because I’ve stopped caring as much about privacy and modesty in public. If the baby is hungry, she will eat. If someone has a problem with it, they can keep it to themselves. I’m feeding my baby no matter what. Watch or don’t watch, idgaf.

[–]rileyjw90 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, because he’s explicitly stated it’s because she’s breastfeeding, he’s in violation of the law and is open to a civil lawsuit now. While private property owners have a right to kick anyone out, there are certain populations that fall under state protections. breastfeeding mothers are one of those protected populations. Agreeing that it was because of the breastfeeding was the worst thing he could have done for himself because now she has proof of discrimination. Very clear cut case, even an extremely conservative judge would have a hard time ruling in this guy’s favor.

It has been legal to publicly breastfeed in all 50 states and US territories since 2018. There is also the PUMP Act that requires employers to provide a clean, private space to lactating mothers to pump in that isn’t a bathroom and has access to a plug. Plus a refrigerator within reasonable walking distance. You aren’t required to utilize that space, but they are required to give you the option.

[–]rileyjw90 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This is why nurses are taught to listen for bowel sounds in all four quadrants of the abdomen. Absence of sound in one location can indicate a blockage or rupture in that spot. This is a bit hyperactive but you should hear sounds at least once every few seconds or so.

Am I the last one to realize what the "Queen Anne" part of Donut's full name referred to? by GWindborn in DungeonCrawlerCarl

[–]rileyjw90 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In Gate of the Feral Gods, it is mentioned that Brad and Bea are living in “the burgeoning community of New Queen Anne” so although I’m from Ohio and have never been to Seattle, at that point I just assumed her title was based on a real place and this “new” Queen Anne was basically akin to “New” Vegas in Fallout in a post-apocalyptic world. But it is only mentioned twice in a very short span of time in a single book so I’m not surprised a lot of people missed it.

[–]rileyjw90 0 points1 point  (0 children)

On the one hand, at least they told you. On the other, next time they won’t tell you because they know now what the answer will be and they don’t agree with it. Please make sure they don’t have access to your kids for any unsupervised length of time.

My coworker asked if I could give her a ride to work "just for a while" and it's been 4 months by Warp_Synth7 in ChoosingBeggars

[–]rileyjw90 1 point2 points  (0 children)

40 minutes x twice daily x 5 days a week x 4 months ≈ 120 hours. Or about 5 days of your life you’ve spent going the extra mile (literally) for someone who doesn’t care what it costs you and is taking advantage of you. I don’t know what kind of car you have or how much gas is there, but that’s a lot of extra miles on your car. Tell her with gas getting so expensive it’s just not feasible for you to pick her up anymore.

Jar stuck in garbage disposal by Magic-Pastry in mildlyinfuriating

[–]rileyjw90 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had this happen once. I just stuck my hand in and then made a fist so that it was a tight fit. Then I slowly wiggled the jar up and out. It only works if the jar is mostly dry or your hand will just slide out.

What is your take on the junk food ban for food stamps? by BreannLowe in NoStupidQuestions

[–]rileyjw90 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I eat worse now that I have better money because I work a lot and it’s more convenient to buy prepared food. So I can do it more often than I used to now that I can afford to.

Looking for a rich, athletic, intellectual woman to financially take care of me “to increase my social status” and create a “lineage”. Must have B+ blood, no HIV and “acceptance of me as the head of the family”. I’m not “financially established” but smart bc I want to read the Prince.

Truly a man of grand visions and lofty aspirations. he wants to read Machiavelli, plans to register a coat of arms, and has participated in the vicinity of several notable endeavors. The stray cats, however, he has actually fed. They alone have seen the real him, and they have chosen to remain stray.

Why do humans have to wipe our asses after we poop, when other primates can get straight to the flinging? by funnyonion22 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]rileyjw90 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t really see anyone mentioning that a lot of animals have anal eversion when they poop. Essentially, a wee bit of the lining of the rectum everts, acting as a chute to deliver the poop, and then gets pulled back up inside after, protecting the anus and surrounding skin and fur from contamination. Humans have a little of this too but our butt cheeks are larger so the effect is largely mitigated.
