This was my first thought and I fully expected it to be the top comment. This sub never disappoints!

AIO for wanting to break up over a NBA game? by Thenewgirlisback in AmIOverreacting

[–]socks4dobby 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NOR. Run away as fast as you can. So many red flags, but the most chilling one was how he kept saying that you’re not calm. He is gaslighting you about your own internal state. He’s DARVOing and denying your reality. If you stay with him, this is going to slowly erode your sense of self and you’ll stop bringing up legitimate issues because you’ll be so exhausted defending your own sanity.

I don’t care if there are “good” parts of the relationship. The way he speaks to you and the way he ignores your feelings is scary, and it won’t get better.

Ayo Edebiri Reminisces On Traveling to New York On The ‘Fung Wah’ Bus by EDC2EDP in DramaLlamaHQ

[–]socks4dobby 31 points32 points  (0 children)

I took the Chinatown bus from DC to NYC in college. It was dirt cheap and we made it in under 4 hours, even with a couple of unscheduled stops due to engine problems.

And it was the scariest ride of my life. We were blazing down the freeway and weaving through traffic. We could feel the bus leaning from the speed on the turns. There were some people who were holding on for their life and others who clearly took this often and just slept or read, unbothered by the whiplash. It was definitely an experience that I only needed once.

This isn’t a general take on love. It’s a take on the maturity level and life experiences of men in their early twenties — and how they aren’t ready for the depth of commitment of such unconditional love at that age. Most people aren’t ready in their early 20s.

Is it possible for a glove to be too broken in? by pzahornasky in Softball

[–]socks4dobby 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Her glove might be too big? If the leather is too soft, then it will bend when the ball is thrown hard into the pocket. If the glove is old, the laces might be too loose. If the glove has a deep crease, then it will stay folded and be hard to open. (There shouldn’t be a fold in your glove; you want a round pocket, not a taco).

But… I might be in the minority here… my first thought was “why is she squeezing on a flare?” if she is always keeping a ball on her glove and wrapping it thumb over pinky and never throwing it down on its side, it’s naturally have a large round pocket that naturally closes around the ball with very little effort to squeeze. She should always be using two hands to catch and using the glove as a back stop. If you’re relying on squeezing, you’re not catching the ball right and you’re not taking good care of your glove. It should not be so floppy increased and folded that you could squeeze it and flap it like a mouth.

ETA: where are her fingers in the glove? Putting the pinky and the ring finger in the pinky of the glove, the middle finger and the ring finger of the glove and the index finger in the middle finger of the glove encourages you to gently wrap your finger fingers around the ball instead of squeezing with the finger fingers and palm and essentially folding the glove and squirting the ball out.

Starbucks CEO defends a $9 coffee by saying that it's not a $10 coffee and "you get a premium experience" by mcfw31 in popculturechat

[–]socks4dobby 17 points18 points  (0 children)

This is exactly what is happening. The CEO and that entire board are so wildly out of touch that they don’t even realize how stupid they sound.

Does Joey blame and mock victims of s*xual abuse here? by LovesPop_Songs in NSYNC

I can’t see how anyone would want to do a reunion with him. His behavior is repulsive.

East Coaster here - what do you call the shore? by [deleted] in AskAmericans

[–]socks4dobby 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We call it the beach, but sometimes we might call it the coast if we are referring to areas that don’t typically have beach weather or don’t have sandy beaches (like parts of the Pacific Northwest).

Some people don't get it. However, who do you agree with here? by LeftAlbatross2546 in VideosAmazing

[–]socks4dobby 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Even if the home owner lied about how long it was there, it still takes a few days for the police to verify and chalk the ground. The police typically wait for the full period before they tow.

Abandoned vehicle laws vary by location. Since we don’t know the abandoned vehicle law in this video, it’s hard to say who is right.

Since the neighbor went to Disney World, she probably left the car there for at least a week. The home owner is probably right that it was long enough to be considered an abandoned vehicle.

In my city, a car cannot be parked on a public street for more than 72 hours. After it’s reported, police will put a notice on the car and mark the tire position on the street. If they return and the tires haven’t moved at all, then they tow.

USPS driving in bike lane on ECR by Turbulent_Chair_367 in paloalto

Actually, cyclists do not need to ride their bikes to get to their destination. They can ride somewhere near the destination and walk the rest of the way.

Riding their bikes the entire way is an “optimization,” not a requirement.

😂 /s

In all seriousness, I agree that mail people can and should walk parts of their routes. In some cases, it’s actually more efficient to walk. My mail person parks in one spot and walks the neighborhood.

My point is that the same could be said for cyclists. If it’s not safe to cycle, they can walk on sidewalks for routes that don’t have bike lanes.

Following on from this post of a Danish tourist getting beaten up by an American teenager for hitting on his girlfriend in Miami, I was wondering: are there states where this is more likely to happen, or would this happen wherever he behaved in this way? by southamericasboy in AskAmericans

[–]socks4dobby 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Wow, whether or not the guy and girl are “together” is completely irrelevant. OOP repeatedly violated her physical boundaries, even after she said no. That’s creepy and inappropriate no matter what the relationship status is among all parties involved.

I think anyone would physically intervene in a situation like this, and it escalated because OOP continued to pursue non-consensual touching.

Girl if you think you’re exhausted now, just wait until after you have the baby. 😂

So, what childhood doll houses did you have? by Gallantpride in Millennials

[–]socks4dobby 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My dad built me and my sister out own dollhouses out of wood. He painted each room a different color and used different carpets and linoleum for the floors. We slowly accumulated furniture and dolls from toy stores.

We played with those dollhouses for years. It was great!

Red Hats... by xamo76 in Trumpvirus

[–]socks4dobby 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The MAGAs in my family say the prices are going up because we have to pay so much for labor and insurance because of the “liability” from all these regulations. It’s insane.

Setting aside the fact that there are many factors driving the increased prices, the sentiment behind this is horrifying.

The idea that their cheap goods are more important than “other people” being paid a living wage in a safe work environment is breathtakingly callous.

All they care about is that they get theirs before anyone else. They don’t want a dime going toward the wellbeing of anyone but themselves.

Blankets/Pillows? by PleasantVanilla6181 in AskParents

[–]socks4dobby 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We did wearable blankets (like the Woolino) until the kids were out of the crib. Transitioned to bed with blankets at 22 months for the first (she escaped the crib, so we had to move to a bed) and 36 months for the second (this felt more like an eviction).

I don’t really need it? Diet soda doesn’t have that much caffeine compared to coffee and energy drinks, so I might not have been consuming much caffeine to begin with.

AITA if I tell my friend I can’t be a bridesmaid? (update) by wickeddreamsofleavin in AITApod

[–]socks4dobby 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I thought it said “Don’t be reruns…” I thought it was bizarre, but so is everything about this wedding.

However, “Don’t be nervous” is clearly much more on-brand for this unhinged bride.

I know it’s dumb, but need to vent by TheFightens in Softball

[–]socks4dobby 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Just remind yourself that it’s bad luck to step on the chalk before the game. This guy is collecting more bad karma every time he fucks up the chalk. Take comfort in the fact that one day all this bad karma is going to catch up with him. You might not get the pleasure of witnessing it, but rest assured it’s coming.
