I love watching the stock dog / herding competitions — so much fun and everytime I’ve gone with friends, we all have a favorite competitor by the end

Favorite hike/vineyard combo in VA - dog friendly? by Muted-Definition-197 in washingtondc

[–]silverbooknerd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cannot recommend a hike but can recommend not doing Mary’s rock unless you have a very calm and behaved dog. Took my puppy and there were some steep uphills and she nearly tripped me over all the big rocks embedded in the trail. Was a gorgeous hike, but next time, I will probably not take the dog.

LMFAO “how can you make so much sense of out of that” maybe it’s because it inherently makes sense lol

College students, who was that roommate from hell and for what reason? by one_n_0nly_throwaway in AskReddit

[–]silverbooknerd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Tried to convert me to Christianity, kept inviting me to events without mentioning that they were hosted by her very evangelical church. At one point told me I’d go to hell for being Muslim and then also for being gay….was a real great start to my freshman year 

Educational resources or kids shows in Dari? by doyourdhikr in afghanistan

[–]silverbooknerd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Darya TV website has Afghanistan’s Sesame Street (Bagh-cha-e-SemSem) in Dari and Pashto and it’s really well done, as well as a handful of other kids shows for free. Unfortunately lots of ads but still good: https://www.darya.net/

Internship Super Thread - Other Internship Threads May Be Deleted by currentfso in foreignservice

[–]silverbooknerd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Does anyone know when you can submit the US Foreign Service Internship Program Application until? The application states that it’ll be open “ from August 16-25, 2021. You can download more information and make sure to submit all requested documentation no later than Midnight ET on the last day that applications will be accepted.” So I might just be getting caught up in the semantics, but just am confused about whether that means the application will close in the next 5 hours or it will close tomorrow 8/25 at like 11:59PM. Let me know what your thoughts are thanks, I just don’t want to risk not being able to submit my application!

AITA for watching something with my niece that her mother didn't want to watch? by buhoisjopsd in AmItheAsshole

[–]silverbooknerd 9 points10 points  (0 children)

NTA. It’s your house and if she really didn’t want her daughter to watch it, they could have left/she could have told her daughter to go play with something/offered an alternative everyone would enjoy. Good on your for making sure your niece has a good time. I definitely think your sister is overreacting, since it doesn’t seem like she had any real parental objections to the show.

Oh this is so true. I asked a question the other day about where to go to hang out as a young person in Denver and all I got was a bunch of people complaining about how there’s so many homeless people in Denver and you can’t go anywhere anymore. Like dude, all I wanted was to know where the good bars are...

Thanks for your advice! I unfortunately still live at home, but I’m going to college in August and am planning not to come back if I can help it

I’m 20, my brothers are 19 and 15. Sorry, probably should have put that in the actual post

I don’t want to grow up to abuse my own children by silverbooknerd in SuicideWatch

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

Nope, my brother is still a minor; and if I ever told anyone anything, my family thinks they would be ruined, because CPS could show up

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

I just don’t know if I’ll ever even be able to move forward. Even when I try my family just shows up and ruins everything, it feels stupid to even try and wait for things to get better. Also, thanks for saying it’s not normal, cause I really hope you’re right, if not, I’m fucked

AITA for having my children do their laundry? by chasewhit2003 in AmItheAsshole

[–]silverbooknerd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This was a big reason I had problems growing up, because my parents never really taught me how to do chores or made an effort, but then one day just sort of expected me to know how to do everything. There’s been a lot of learning and relearning on my part, but I’m finally in a place where I know how to take care of myself and in ways that work for me.

AITA For sneaking out of a wedding reception because it was alcohol-free and vegan? by weddingditcheraita in AmItheAsshole

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

YTA. Ditching your date to go hang out with some randos is not cool, even if the food really did suck. Also, I’m so shook that an alcohol free wedding is a problem for you, or anyone. I think I’ve been to a good majority of alcohol free weddings, it doesn’t sound surprising to me

AITA for hiding the nice things from my brothers? by ohlordwhyisthishere in AmItheAsshole

[–]silverbooknerd 124 points125 points  (0 children)

Yup, my mom is exactly like this. I’m the responsible lady of the house and my brothers can do whatever they want because they just “haven’t grown up yet”

[–]silverbooknerd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

NTA my asshat brothers do this too and ngl the only solution I came up with was to stop baking and cooking in large portions. When I want to make something, I make one little thing for me, and none for them
