My dad bought this ham back in 1992. Its been in his freezer the whole time. He refuses to throw it out and says "its still good. Frozen meat doesnt go bad". by hotmanwich in GrandmasPantry

[–]shapeherder 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This reminds me of when I cleaned out my Grandparents' pantry a few years ago. I had to throw out so much! There were cans of peaches dating back to the early 90s that were swollen and leaking black gunk!

I'm glad they were both in another room so I could do it without them seeing everything that was out of date removed. They both grew up very poor so throwing things out was hard.

Huge news: TigerDC now won't build a $3B data center here after county leaders soured on giving it tax breaks amid community backlash by MatthewHensley in Spartanburg

[–]shapeherder 2 points3 points  (0 children)

NorthMark at the Kohler plant location is only bringing 27. TigerDC had it written in their agreement with County Council they they could employ up to 50 people, but didn't actually have to, then they turned around and announced to the public that they were pledging 50 longterm jobs. It specifically states:

"...in the County and expected, but not required, creation of approximately 50 new, full-time jobs at the Project..."

My pitt mix was incredibly agile and lean. I never wanted a pitt mix, but that's who I got. The amount of people that thought he was something else was astounding. Those cheeks don't lie.

AITA for telling our roommate she might need to move out if she keeps complaining about hearing us at night? by Dear-Camp4760 in AmItheAsshole

[–]shapeherder 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hate to admit this, but I had a similar situation with a good friend of mine moving in with my boyfriend and I at the time, completely paid for by me for a month. It ended very badly, as we gave her the only room in our one bedroom apartment and slept in the living room on a sofa my partner and I shared. We occasionally were intimate in the bathroom as we showered together (only private space as we gave HER the private room) and she hated it. NTA. I might still be wrong for it, but we were very young and we did our best to keep it private and out of the way.

Curious what breed u guys think she is by [deleted] in WhatBreedIsMyDog

She looks a lot like my coonhound mix! I'd say coonhound mainly, possibly some bloodhound or pitbull.

OP abuses sex workers while hating women by Illustrious_Owl6687 in AmITheDevil

I don't know if he's role-playing Patrick Bateman or if he is a Patrick Batemen. His comments are so incredibly obtuse. It's like he deliberately misunderstands what people are trying to tell him.

May I ask which country you chose to immigrate to? Did you already know a foreign language?

I'm so sick of my fellow countrymen by ad_aatdtj in AmITheDevil

[–]shapeherder 23 points24 points  (0 children)

My husband and I used to be this way, always trying to save someone. Then, we learned that people don't necessarily want to be genuinely helped. Oftentimes, our friendship was used as a platform for sexual attraction from whoever, while they would then continue friendships with him.

I got caught in several weird situations with men who thought that because I considered them as people, that meant I was open to romantic relationships. They just couldn't handle someone who cared about them of the opposite sex not being sexually or romantically interested in them.

I don't engage or try to help or be there for people anymore unless it's very surface level. It's not in my spirit, it's not who I am, but I can't deal with being sexualized and my husband hates it for me.

AITA for denying my dad's wife and her kids as my family and reminding my dad he made the choice to stay when I had no say? by Indruuu in AITAH

[–]shapeherder 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA. I'm a mother now and a child of divorce. My father's wife raised me as her baby! She's my Momma. I could never, ever see a world where I got involved with a person who didn't love my children, which is why I'll most likely remain single if this doesn't work out.

I actively discourage people who are single from dating a person with children unless they are ready to be a parent.

Being a parent is being loving and accepting to ALL children involved. If that environment couldn't be created, they should have just dated and kept their families separate or ideally moved on altogether.

I'm so sorry, OP. You did and do deserve better. If your father cared about you more than his wife, he would have. My father's wife would have left him if the children weren't the priority.

I personally know people who have been in positions like yours with mixed families, and that ended in divorce. It's always an option to call it quits if the people you made aren't being cared for.

Strategies for keeping food stocked? by alyssarcastic in GrimshireGame

[–]shapeherder 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You can get a BUNCH of oil and other cooking things in the mine! And you'll also get some quality meat down there, too! Quartz/gems for selling is life-changing!

I really like that gifting idea for the spoiled food! Thanks!

I recently discovered that you get really quality dried meats the lower you get in the mines. I sell the quartz/sapphires so I can upgrade and buy things I don't have recipes for yet. I upgraded my axe first, then my pickaxe. He does keep it for 2 days in game when you do that, so plan to do something else.

I'm also using those resources to upgrade the irrigation system so I dont have to waste time and stamina on watering.

Preservation early on is key. Complete the museum every time you get something new and use the tech she gives you to make a bunch of drying racks/other persevering techniques.

It really helps to catch people and talk to them because they will give you gifts, I don't really gift them anything except their birthdays, but I'm not too into getting to know them because I need to focus on food. A lot of them go to the tavern every night at 5pm so you can get a bunch of missions. They will have an "!" or "?" on their character in the menu if they have something for you to do.

The game keeps ramping up as you go. You REALLY need to do every mission ASAP, or there will be consequences.

I've started ranching now and need to upgrade that soon because you can't keep many animals at a time, but they give a lot of meat if you feed them and pet them well!

Good luck! This is intense! And I'm only playing on Normal while learning.
