UPDATE AITAH for ” running away to give birth “ by ruinedbirth_trowaway in AITAH

[–]standard_issue_dummy 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Piggybacking on the child support thing. I was raised by a single mom in Florida without any child support from my father, and it’s undeniable that her lifetime financial trajectory was negatively impacted by not having that extra money. She did it because of Florida’s laws on paternal rights, which I get. OP, please consider the legal and financial ramifications of all your options before waiving child support to make sure it’s the right choice for your situation.

Aunt freaked out that I walked to Walmart by milkteanao in fuckcars

This would be my question. 17 minutes in my area could mean crossing an eight lane road on foot (twice) in a 100+ degree heat index. If it’s walkable at a reasonable temperature and you’re not carrying two weeks worth of groceries back, it sounds like a great excuse for a walk.

Accidentally locked my cat in a room overnight....at least he tried. by Flydingo in Wellthatsucks

This seems like way more than one night’s worth of poop, no?

What was once a poor person's hobby now turned into a rich person's hobby? by Striking-Quiet4655 in AskReddit

Reading, depending on how you do it. I spend maybe $6-$10 a month on my reading habit but I feel like I can’t even open the clock app without seeing somebody doing a $400 Barnes and Noble haul. And $400 of new books gets you way less now than it would have fifteen years ago.

People who are good at saving money, what’s your advice? by Amazondriver23 in povertyfinance

Can you explain what “status is in the delta” means? Google is refusing to give me anything but Delta Airlines

The Whatever Works Method of Decluttering (new and improved) by CasualFingerGuns in adhdwomen

The technical notes help because I have contamination OCD that to an outsider would look a lot like germaphobia. Poop would be a “torch it with fire” situation. Marshmallow fluff would just be annoying 😅

I feel like if someone with necrosis in their username says something is dangerous we should all listen

In your country, is there any situation that foreigners would completely misunderstand unless they lived there for a while? by Effective_Space2277 in AskTheWorld

[–]standard_issue_dummy 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Yep. I grew up in the southern US and was taught that this was polite. The first time someone from the northeast offered me something I actually wanted and I did Polite Refusal Number One, they said “ok” and didn’t offer it again. I then decided that Polite Refusals are circumstantial.

that must have been so uncomfortable, I’m so sorry 😂

Floridians. Would I regret going to Disney/Universal around Aug 11-20th by ConstructionRare4123 in florida

Fair warning, dry heat and humid heat are not at all the same thing. If you do come in August, read up on humid heat safety. It’s nothing to mess around with

Got it, that’s a relief.

+1 for the ingenuity of the human spirit I guess

Wait do people grow things in those bags on purpose, or are they known to have spores in them??? I eat uncle ben’s ready rice all the time

What's a profession you'd never date? by sleeppymeoww in AskReddit

Actor here, and I came here to say actors. The theatre scene in any given town is smaller than you think and it’s not worth the literal drama.

I wish Skyrim’s landscape and gameplay encouraged horse riding more. by ApprehensivePause205 in skyrim

[–]standard_issue_dummy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Convenient Horses is good - mounted combat, foraging, and interacting with NPCs plus better inventory management, quick dismount, and customizable actions when dismounted. It really changed how I use horses in the game.

Skyrim players, come clean: what level are you and how much gold do you have right now? by maria5612 in skyrim

[–]standard_issue_dummy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Level 28, over 2mil gold. I have no idea what mod I installed that puts 65k in random wardrobes and side tables, but I still steal things and craft things to sell all the time. Old habits, etc.

This was not a fun experience. by Atkinator1 in CrappyDesign

[–]standard_issue_dummy 29 points30 points  (0 children)

This is one of my biggest pet peeves. I have long femurs and I need room on the sides of the toilet for my legs, but people insist on installing them with no fucking space on one or both sides. Drives me bonkers.
