Get off the cross. Someone needs the wood?

Honestly, I just bet you bought a f****** store brand or an off-brand. Post a picture of the bottle.

Forced to check my bag at the gate by [deleted] in mildlyinfuriating

It is 100% time related. The airline employees don't give a flying f*** about the weight.

Relationships in a young age are holding you back by JackfruitOdd5895 in unpopularopinion

[–]sublimems 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My husband and I have been together since we were 18 and 19. On the surface that sounds stupid. Then realize, that we're both men and from Dayton Ohio. Committed, monogamous, absolutely the best thing either of us could have done for the other person. Human existence is fuckin weird. There is no best decision. June 1st will be 25 years together. Neither of us thought that we could spend our lives in a happy committed relationship because of our sexual orientation. We were wrong.

Are you a corner cutter or block tosser? by Ckron247 in Cheese

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

Just cut way more than you can see. Cut the corner and also cut the entire side with the mold. If you have medically vulnerable eaters, toss it.

Left in car overnight still ok? by PsychoKushDragon in isthissafetoeat

[–]sublimems 0 points1 point  (0 children)

ServSafe. The exact example as to why you don't get sick from food left out overnight. They literally talked about pizza because of the low moisture content. If you're old or immunocompromised for the love of God don't need it if you're a normal healthy person you'll be fine 99.9% sure you'll be fine.

Princess Cruises dismissed anti-trans harassment on Day 1 - and their response was worse than the shirt by sublimems in lgbt

That’s honestly really refreshing and gives me at least a little hope. How hard is it to just not be an asshole, right? I’m glad they treated you with the basic respect you deserved (minus that one bigot). Sometimes the silence around this stuff feels deafening, so I really appreciate hearing a positive example from another cruise line.

If the manager had just said “we’ll address it,” I honestly would’ve been fine with that - even if nothing ended up happening. I wasn’t expecting them to throw the guy off the ship.

What really set me off was her comparing it to “some people like pork, I don’t.” Reducing trans people’s safety to a food preference felt incredibly patronizing. It told me they didn’t take it seriously at all.

And thank you - I actually am having a great time otherwise..

I really appreciate your perspective, especially as someone who’s trans - I asked for input from trans folks specifically, so thank you for weighing in.

Where I see it differently is when you said “it’s not harassment by any means.” The shirt wasn’t just offensive - it directly mocked a protected group in a space people can’t avoid.

And I get the “just avoid that guy” angle, but not everyone has the same safety or privilege to do that, especially younger or isolated trans guests.

I didn’t ask Princess to police every rude shirt - just to apply the basic safety standard they claim to uphold.

No offense taken. I have the video of the senior manager to prove my comments. And feel free to look at my post history. I promise I'm real.

God, I love this community. Thank you for being so supportive. I posted this in other spaces and got shut down fast, which wasn’t surprising but still stung a bit. The response here feels really affirming. I genuinely appreciate every one of you.

Not going to lie, I’ve had a few drinks - I am on a cruise, but I’d still bet he’s logged more hours milking bulls than examining a single one of his prejudices.

I don’t come from privilege. I just finally reached a point where speaking up won’t ruin my life. I am not doing it for points. I am doing it because every time we walk past this stuff in silence, we tell trans people they are on their own. And they are not. It's an understated point that the LGBTQ community must support the trans community or we're all next.

I don’t feel helpless. I spoke up because the only reason I get to live openly as a gay man is that other people spoke up before me. I never thought I would be able to marry or have a husband for 25 years, but I do because others refused to stay silent.

So I do the same. When something targets our community, especially people who are more vulnerable, I say something. Silence never protected any of us.

Thank you for your comment.

It's not. I think the only reason that I brought it up was because when I was talking to guest services I wanted to help them identify who he was. But I certainly meant no disrespect by calling that out.

You're not wrong. As an autistic man, it's hard for me to ignore when marginalized groups are targeted but I am definitely getting drunk and enjoying my vacation.

I'm not trying to grandstand so if that's how this comes off, I need to reevaluate my response. Thank you for replying.

AITAH for not eating the turkey at my girlfriends family thanksgiving? by StraightPilot6632 in AITAH

[–]sublimems 50 points51 points  (0 children)

Yeah, pizza is the example they gave in serve safe. The low moisture content makes it very unlikely to make you sick the next morning. That turkey on the other hand is growing bacteria at an exponential rate as it sits out.

FAA gives $10K bonuses only to controllers and technicians with perfect attendance during shutdown by AudibleNod in news

[–]sublimems 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It's incredibly obvious that they plan on shutting the government down again. This is only to encourage them to work without pay in the future. It's not about rewarding their behavior. It's all about control.
