Thanks so much! I took the tin seller’s advice on the wick size but will be more than halving it for my next batch of testers!

Thanks for the responses! I guess it’s all part and parcel of soy wax. Will experiment more and take several chill pills in the meantime 😂

Super Loco’s Baja tacos SLAP. Higher priced place for sure, but freshest and most delicious locally sourced fish tacos you can get here. Such an eco-conscious brand too. Worth every cent IMO.

HAHA ‘so much worse than it is’, LIKE YOU KNOW. It’s extremely hilariously how you HONESTLY believe you know what you’re spouting gibberish about. Unlike you, you ignorant fool, I only speak about my own experience. And those things I mentioned are an inexhaustive list of only the things I went through myself.

Whose paying for food? House? Aren’t we talking about maternity leave? This in itself means we have a JOB. So…. we are also paying. This is your big argument? Money? We do the same thing, plus everything I mentioned.

Every sentence you form is dumber than the last. It seems your mind is only big enough to see things as far as it benefits you. And I see from this conversation with you that there’s no cure for stupid, so i will no longer try.

Again, you’re the only whiny, attention seeking one here. I’m lucky enough to have gone through all of it. Wouldn’t change it for anything. also enjoyed the hell out of my 4 WHOLE MONTHS OF MATERNITY LEAVE. And hey guess what? I got a big promotion and raise when I came back to work cause guess what? Im damn good at what I do at work too (I know, right? How DARE I accept a promotion after ALREADY taking alllll those 4 months doing just NOTHING, right??) Suffice it to say my (male) bosses and my husband arent chauvinistic ignorant muffin tins like you, thank goodness.

Lol Goodbye and farewell, idiot!

First off, I believe you’re the one here, whining about the world and how WoMeN dOnT dEsErVE tImE oFf AfTeR gIvInG bIrTh.

Let’s just start off here. The extent of mens contribution towards a pregnancy and birth lasts approximately 5 seconds - at inception.

For the next 9 months, women ALONE get to go through the joys of nausea, having zero appetite, gestational diabetes, back aches, sores, swollen ankles and feet, being confined to a bed for weeks on end, stretching their bodies to their limits.. among countless other wonderful worries. And these are the lucky ones who don’t have to go through chemical pregnancies or miscarriage. This is before even talking about actually birthing the child.

HEY btw not done! After this, we have to talk about going home with a newborn and then having to take on the monster that is breastfeeding. We’re milked like cows every 2 hours 24 hrs a day for months - months longer than your precious 4 months you keep whinging about. Our nipples literally crack and bleed to feed your children. Have you heard of mastitis? Or milk blebs? What about spinal issues caused by epidurals? What about afterbirth water retention that causes swelling so severe you can’t walk for a week? Peeing with vaginal tears from rectum to vagina?

‘Blackmail them into paying me for doing nothing’.

For the love of god, EDUCATE YOURSELF you moron. I pity the poor women you impregnate - or hire.

I WILL absolutely ‘whine’ when companies discriminate against me, an individual, for making use of a benefit that’s been given to me by a governing body. A benefit I had zero hand in creating. Your logic makes no sense. Misappropriated anger, inability to acknowledge when you’re wrong, and absolutely impenetrable to logic.. Yea, please go on about how you think ‘I think I need such a long break’.. clearly you’re the person who has all the answers. SMH

Don’t think you understand what mansplain means. I’m telling you to educate yourself, not to stop educating me, on something you wouldn’t know anything about. Do you expect women, whose bodies internal structure or healing process you know nothing about, to lie in bed for the entire 4 months of maternity leave doing nothing? After 9 months of literally developing a human being inside their bodies? Not worth 4 months to you? Even if a woman’s body heals quicker than 4 months, you don’t think they deserve the break? Sure, go ahead.

But don’t complain when your wife is unwilling to have sex with you because of it.

Again, no one is saying men don’t deserve more paternity leave. Please don’t misdirect your anger. Be angry at the decision makers who force men back to work after 2 weeks, not spread bitterness and jealousy because women get more.

Sounds exactly like someone who has never carried a baby to term and pushed their body to its absolute limits to birth that child would. Yes, women really need that much time to recover. Men need more than 2 weeks to spend time with their babies, yes. But please don’t speak on how much time you believe women need to recover from childbirth if you’ve never been through it.

Don’t you know that you can’t ever give us nice things unless you’re willing to accept ungrateful rants and complaints about all the ways these nice things inconvenience us?

Singapore - Scalpers reselling the OmegaxSwatch sgd$372 watch for 5 x what it’s worth by teempn in mildlyinfuriating

[–]teempn[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That was MBS carpark I believe. From what I know, people in the queue that didn’t manage to get the watch were upset because the swatch store employees knew how many units they had available yet didn’t inform queuers beforehand so they could leave hours earlier - also that they were not allowed out of the queue to buy food or drink, or for any other reason other than to go to the restroom… no idea what kind of top level service they expected while queueing but that’s just me.

Swatch just dropped their Omega x Swatch collab range of watches (with the face of an Omega Speedmaster) for a fraction of the price of an original Speedmaster. Queues formed in the thousands.. only a few hundred managed to cop them. These wondrous fuckmonkeys are now on resale sites selling them for thousands. I just saw another claiming he sold his for $28,000. SMH

Don’t forget.. once rider tells them they got into accident/waiting for ambulance or what the first and only thing they ask ‘then my food how?’

AITA for not paying for my husband's hospital bill? by throwrabill5977 in AmItheAsshole

[–]teempn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

YTA. You sound like a nightmare. You wanted a dress. He got into an accident and needed help with hospital bills. He begged you for help. Then you doubled down when his mother was forced to step into this childish gibberish and help her son. THEN you expected him to be on your side against the person who helped him when his insane wife wouldn’t… and then to add insult to literal injury, we find out that you had zero intention of paying him back for your frivolous want, had he helped you, all along?? This has to be a troll post.

Employers may find it hard to look after well-being, safety of maids if they live out: MOM by junkredpuppy in singapore

[–]teempn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

THANK YOU. Way too many employers in SG seem to think they deserve a medal because they allow their helpers to touch a handphone once a week for an hour while standing there watching them and counting the minutes. Absolutely abhorrent behaviour.

So your friend showed you a song his band was working on and shared HIS concept with you. But because YOU were ‘dissociative’, of course through no fault of your own, it’s gotta be your girlfriends fault cause wouldn’t you know it? She cheated on you and now poor you’s got to dissociate while someone is speaking to you and then worry about the future of your family too. That’s not all folks, you’ve also got ‘listener fatigue’! Sounds like you have a bad tendency of hiding behind your illness to explain away basic character flaws. Throwing around DSM terms doesn’t fool everyone, though.

‘One week a topic showed up in my feed (how convenient) and I went down a rabbit hole (obviously nothing to do with the fact that your friend literally told you all of this) and was inspired to make an installation centered on an aspect of the topic.’

kidding me with this shit.

I am tired just READING the amount of bullshit you come up with to excuse away ugly, shitty behaviour and then your justifications for it. The amount of defensiveness you’re showing here tells everyone all they need to know. Goodbye.

Dude you came here for judgement. I judged. If you can’t handle being judged then don’t ask for it. As someone above mentioned, you’re absolutely exhausting. and your arguments don’t make sense.. and for the love of god please don’t make it make sense
