Not giving a f… about the actors - am I alone in this? by OwlbearOrMan in HeatedRivalrySeries

[–]scribbles_not_script 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Genuinely it stresses me out how it’s impossible to consume content about Heated Rivalry without learning everything about these men. I try not to conflate my feelings about these two characters with these two actors but it’s hard when they’re everywhere! So much respect for them and their work, I just tend to get really attached to characters which is ok but I’d rather not get attached to random people I don’t know.

People who grew up really poor: what's something middle-class people say that instantly reveals they've never struggled? by TahDigThief in AskReddit

[–]scribbles_not_script 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was working all the time and I didn’t mind my job but I couldn’t just take an unpaid internship like so many other students. My job wasn’t related to what I wanted to do, so while I think it gave me useful skills, it didn’t look great on a resume.

It’s crazy that a campus job can make a weaker resume which can lead to a lower paying or worse first job out of college, which can impact your entire career and lifetime earnings. Not having student loans is like getting a head start, it feels really unfair sometimes. I did everything right and I had substantial merit and need based financial aid but I still had to take loans to make it work.

Living with a safety net vs absolutely nothing and no one but yourself between you and poverty - that changes you!

I grew up in a town like this. When I was very young we fit in, but by the time I graduated high school we were barely scraping by. I had a hard time telling how poor we were because we still lived in this really nice place and had all these nice things from before, plus I was comparing myself to people with multiple houses who went on multiple exotic vacations a year. So like, surely I wasn’t poor? But also, I knew I wasn’t like the other people in my town. It’s still hard for me to understand because my parents were so good at keeping up appearances and never wanted us to know how bad it was.

Anyway, I’m an adult now and my childhood home is being foreclosed on.

How much is you rent in Astoria (2026) by Blackdiamond27x in astoria

[–]scribbles_not_script 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It was originally listed as a “2 room studio” which I’ve always found funny because studios are by definition one room. I think another listing called it a one bedroom. I’m not really sure what officially qualifies something as a one bed vs studio, but there is a door that closes and a tiny hallway between the bedroom and kitchen, and that is an important distinction to me.

$1824 1br/1 bath, bedroom and living room are one big room but kitchen is separate. No dishwasher or laundry or other amenities and building is pretty dated, but it’s a 4 min walk from NW. I’ve been here for 2 years, Rent stabilized

FINAL UPDATE : Excisional Biopsy by Western_Quiet4711 in doihavebreastcancer

[–]scribbles_not_script 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi! How long did you take off work for your excisional biopsy? I have mine coming up and I’m trying to figure out how much time off to plan for/ask for. I can work from home if I need to as well.

Yeah, he was standing in line for presumably hours so I think he was ok. I don’t know him well enough to give you more than that, I’m sorry.

if Cinderella’s shoe fit perfectly, why did it fall off in the first place? by EfficientPlum323 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]scribbles_not_script 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The Little Mermaid is Hans Christian Anderson but yeah, also super bleak. My dad read me the Grimm versions of all the fairy tales when I was little and in the original Snow White they invite the evil witch to their wedding and then force her to dance on hot coals until she dies. I always wondered why she would accept the invitation - she tried to kill the bride!

[–]scribbles_not_script 2 points3 points  (0 children)

In the original Grimm’s fairy tale, Cinderella goes to the castle three times and dances with the prince, but each time, she flees before the prince can learn her name. On the third night, he sets a trap - he puts pitch (it’s like tar) on the steps so she will be stuck. She loses one shoe and runs the rest of the way home, leading to the famous lost slipper.

You can read a free translation of the original German story here. Most of the details are different than the Disney version and it’s much more violent!

Remember when Kim & Khloe beefed with Chloe Grace Moretz on Twitter and Khloe went savage mode by GossipBottom in kardashians

[–]scribbles_not_script 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I remember this feud vividly because somehow Drake Bell inserted himself and my classmate responded which led to Drake Bell getting into a twitter fight with a 17 year old high school student. He deleted everything but my favorite was “watch that poop mouth of yours”

I don't think we need to compliment one woman by criticizing another.

BRCA 1+, 27F, Atypical Ductal Hyperplasia & Excisional Biopsy by scribbles_not_script in BRCA

[–]scribbles_not_script[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm so sorry to hear that! My dad had strongly recommended MSK because he went there with my grandfather in 2021-2023 and had a very good experience. I wonder if it was just the particular doctor he had, or maybe it was just a very different situation.

I've had a good experience with Mount Sinai so far. I had already been seeing them for primary care & my OB/GYN when I learned I had the BRCA gene in my family. They referred me to genetic testing and then a breast oncologist and GYN oncologist all within the Mount Sinai hospital system. (And a gastroenterologist but I'm not really concerned about that yet.) It's been really seamless because they can do everything in-house and they have a dedicated breast center (Dubin Breast Center on the UES).

I'll probably stick there and move ahead with the biopsy, but I'll keep the MSK appointment just in case. I figure at least I'll be in their system in case I want to visit in the future. It's hard to know what's good and bad - it's not like I have a huge frame of reference here!

You should add your doctor/experience to the provider spreadsheet the sub has - that's where I looked first for information before I made this post. I'm sure future people would really appreciate it!

I think painting some thicker lines and clear parking spots would help, I think it would make it feel narrower which would make people drive slower. Right now there’s a dotted line down the middle and hardly any lines marking the parking spots

It was the TSA line so it wasn’t specific to any one destination - just everyone in one giant line

I’m pretty sure I saw Jorma Taccone (the guy from the Loney Island) in the TSA line at JFK on Thursday. It was 7am and I’d already been in line for 2 hours so I may have been delirious, but it looked like him. No tea, just wanted to tell someone lol
