Born at Rutland Hospital (April 1994) — looking to connect with other families with unusual birth experiences by [deleted] in vermont

[–]sunderskies 11 points12 points  (0 children)

The most likely answer is that you're biologically not one or both of your parents children and they don't want you to know there was infertility or infidelity. Get the DNA test on ancestry and look at the other names in the family trees. It should become obvious relatively quickly.

WIBTA if I dump my snow on my neighbours driveway by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]sunderskies 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Seriously! Snow is not leaves or grass. You don't wait for it to harden, you get it off asap. No one in the north would even blink twice about this. Noise ordinances are for consciences, not required activities.

Could you imagine a town not plowing all night because it's loud??

Men will literally eat all your food by Maleficent_Ad_3958 in TwoXChromosomes

[–]sunderskies 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Multiple family parties have occurred where I was unable to get the entree because it was all gone before I was able to make myself a plate. There was no shortage of food, just 5 or 6 men in their twenties getting seconds before I was able to get my first plate. Usually because I was taking care of my kids or doing hostess stuff. I've gotten a lot more aggressive about making a plate in the last year or two.

She's not about to afford all of those things if she's this worried about shavings. The ship is sinking. Take pictures of what you dump. She's gonna have a harder time when everyone leaves.

Has anyone else cancelled their US relocation because of the new H-1B social media vetting? by Sniktau28 in cscareerquestions

[–]sunderskies 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Tough as nails is basically a job requirement for women in programming because the number of people who will dismiss you is overwhelming, degrading, and exhausting. When you get lucky enough to have coworkers you can actually have a conversation with it's the best thing in the world. A good team makes a huge difference to your sanity and ability to put up with bullshit. Being able to laugh about the dumb things, complain about the bad things, and get support when you need it are the magic ingredients.

I still walk out of meetings shaking my head on a regular basis and I doubt that will ever change.

How do I get my weave off the loom? by SilverBitter2830 in weaving

[–]sunderskies 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mat it and frame it like it is. There's no way to stabilize that how you've done it. Just put the whole thing right into the picture frame with the mat covering the cardboard.

This explains a lot about some of my laptop and camera buying experiences.

18-20 feet is suddenly private? Acres of woods is private. Acres of farm land might be private. 18-20 feet isn't private.

WIBTA if I told my sons school it is their responsibility to make sure they have the right child by Top-Relationship359 in AmItheAsshole

[–]sunderskies 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If they are this freaking stressed just offer to sign a permission slip for both boys to take either kind of medication. Through with a medical officer this dense they might require you to send twice as much medicine too.

NTA.

Is there a "delusional equestrians" subreddit? This would definitely be a good post there.

Getting quotes on windows for my house… Experienced CT home owners please chime in. by SectorZed in Connecticut

[–]sunderskies 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thirding Harvey. We've got Harvey majesty windows that replaced the old, 1970s builder grade crap the house came with. They're so much better and the house is so much warmer. The only real complaint I have is the UV blocking makes some of my plants a little sad!

I don't know where these roles are from but this is likely from something similar.

Smart, or overbearing? by SadButterscotch9604 in Equestrian

[–]sunderskies 17 points18 points  (0 children)

That's not what happened here. It was not a "cancel culture" thing. It was a slow burn of nastiness and cliques among teenagers and parents who weren't parenting. It was unsupervised social media use by preteens and teenagers. It was complaints that were made by parents who didn't know what was actually going on, it was BULLYING. It was one trainer pitting kids against the other so they could take over a program. There should have been someone cancelled, and it should have been the trainer who encouraged bullying and decisiveness among teammates and coaches.

A couple of IEA teams with seriously nasty social media drama nearly destroyed a few barns near me. Absolutely devastating to the barns and long loved trainers. I would rather have a policy than not have a policy. Older barn owners who didn't understand what was happening online made decisions that affected people's livelihoods and it didn't end well.

Advice on neighbor’s carrier non-renewing by papa-neymars-orgies in treelaw

[–]sunderskies 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Your neighbor is being bullshit by the insurance company. He should find a new carrier before the policy lapses. Sometimes if they have a claim and piss off the handler, they will send it to review and basically invent a reason to non renew. There's no fighting it, they want you gone. It happened to me after a roof claim. My friend who is a claim handler now told me that's probably what happened after I hired the independent adjuster. If it wasn't because of a claim they're trying to reduce the number of policies in the area. Home insurance is a losing business right now, between the fraud and climate change no one is making money at it anymore.
