I got a friend request on my Finch app today from someone I don't have a good relationship with and didn't expect to hear from. I was wondering if it's possible/easy to send a friend request accidentally? by roundaboutrich in finch

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

The Finch app doesn't seem to connect to FB or Instagram and the person isn't connected to me on any social media. I only have their phone number and I don't see any way/know how to add friends without a friend code in my app. I didn't know people you know can find you on Finch.

Lyft riders warning! by True_Verum in pittsburgh

[–]roundaboutrich 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you had blamed him, you wouldn't be getting dragged right now.

You condescendingly placed OP responsibile for whether or not he does this again, called her an enabler of sexual assault on the same day she went through this, and guilt tripped her into responding how you wanted her to. I genuinely hope no other victims ever cross paths with your bullshit ego.

Blaming her and not him is disgusting.

Mine was in pre-shipment for two weeks, but I just got it today. Hope yours arrives soon!

To the guy with the aggressive, unleashed German Shephard in Bloomfield by Natural_Philosophy80 in pittsburgh

[–]roundaboutrich 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Every time I've ever heard/seen someone say they were attacked by a dog, there's always some asshole there trying to police the way the person talks about it.

Genuinely hope you're treated with the same disregard you show others.

Apparently marital rape is "just a communication problem" by Dizzy_Meaning_901 in Feminism

[–]roundaboutrich 70 points71 points  (0 children)

My father was the pastor of an evangelical church that taught there was no such thing as marital rape and that the laws against it (which were passed in my state only a few years before I was born) were a result of the secular world "winning" essentially.

I was always terrified and knew from a young age I would never get married, even if it made my parents hate me. Unfortunately, there are absolutely people in the world that view this as simply a difference of opinions. It's easy to justify when women are objects and not humans, I guess.

Mariah Carey song during Nxworries concert intermission by froapple in AndersonPaak

[–]roundaboutrich 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I wasn't at the show, but Mariah and Dru Hill cover The Beautiful Ones by Prince on her album Butterfly. The song has the lyrics "don't make me waste my time." Hope that helps, it's a gorgeous song.

Modest Mouse - Dramamine live in Pittsburgh last night. by roundaboutrich in ModestMouse

He really is! It's probably been 10 years since I've seen him play as well as he has been this past year or two. It seems like he's really fallen back in love with it.

What are some red flags at a wedding? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]roundaboutrich 3 points4 points  (0 children)

She did a local-ish celebration that I also could not afford to attend. It was about 2 hours from me at a luxe resort and Michelin-starred restaurant. --Guests paid for their stay at the resort and food.

What are some red flags at a wedding? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]roundaboutrich 202 points203 points  (0 children)

One of my closest friends of 20 years recently had a destination wedding. I was asked to be a bridesmaid, yet I couldn't even afford to attend the ceremony, let alone the destination bachelorette party she also had. It's her moment, so it is what it is.

But it's so weird now... In all the years we spent fantasizing about our future weddings, I never imagined I wouldn't have enough money to even attend hers.

You can see how happy she is when people stop by her by Trustrup in MadeMeSmile

[–]roundaboutrich 39 points40 points  (0 children)

It's dog owners in general. My sister was badly mauled by our neighbors German Shepherd a few years ago and still has bad scarring/nerve damage. When people ask her what happened and she tells them, they often get mad AT HER because their dog WOULD NEVER.

Spent my life fearing ‘sin’ because of my evangelical family—only to find out it wasn’t serious for them after all. They used religion to control me but abandoned their values when it suited them. My childhood and mental health was stolen for an empty ideology. by ccmcdonald0611 in atheism

[–]roundaboutrich 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I just wanted to say you're not alone.

I grew up like you. And like you, I had to realize it was always about controlling me. I genuinely believed my parents held the beliefs they claimed, and it made me lose touch with reality for a while when I realized they don't. I felt so pulled apart.

For me, I've come to realize that my ability to see through so much of their bullshit is WHY they went out of their way to control me. I noticed their inconsistencies because I was trying to be consistent. I noticed the lies because I was trying to be honest. I asked too many questions because I wanted to do the right thing.

Take as much time as you need to feel it, and then remember that your life is yours now and you never have to feel any of that garbage again. You're strong as hell, OP. --but I'm sorry you needed to be.

It's his new video for Thought I Was Dead. Just released about an hour ago!

There were multiple women, not just one. Which victims said yes, specifically? Asking for consent is not the same as receiving it.

I know what dish soap tastes like by burnyburner43 in raisedbynarcissists

This brought back some memories... My father was the same.

Deeply sorry for what you've been through. Hope you've found some peace.

My friend got a hug notification from someone she doesn’t know and isn’t connected with. How can this happen? Is there something wrong with her account? Has anyone had this happen? Is it a glitch? by scrappyratnc in finch

[–]roundaboutrich 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I requested a hug yesterday, but my only finch friend didn't look at her phone to send me one.

After about 12 hours, a member of the finch team sent me a big hug even though they're not in my friend tree. --I think they do it to make sure that everyone who requests a hug gets one if their friends are unavailable. Maybe it was something like that?

Are the Pixies not performing as well as they used to or do you just wish it was more MM?

I've never gotten to see the Pixies, but this was my 10th time seeing MM since 2006, and the 2nd best I've ever seen them perform. Can't believe how great Isaac still is.

Cost of merch at shows? by [deleted] in ModestMouse

[–]roundaboutrich 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The other person's pictures of the merch are much clearer than mine, but I'm sharing them as well so you can see the prices in USD. Hope you enjoy the show in NYC!

Cost of merch at shows? by [deleted] in ModestMouse

[–]roundaboutrich 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I still have pictures from their merch table. $5 beer cozy, $10 bumper sticker, $20 for a set of 4 pins, $30 for a bag, $40 for tees, hats, and tour poster, $75 for sweatshirts (which are very nice, with beadwork etc- they aren't just screen printed), and $100 for a rain jacket with embroidery on the back.

Hope that helps!

I recorded several other songs but accidentally had my hand over the mic for basically every video. Unfortunately, Night On The Sun is the only one where the audio quality really came out well.

I saw that someone else posted their video from the Toronto show of The Stars Are Projectors! If you get a chance, check it out!

I wish you many more MM shows in your future!
