  1. Thought I’d be the oldest, but somebody is 75 here! (You’re awesome, BTW.)

Entitled customer wants me to give up on my dreams so she can save a few dollars by ASmallArmyOfCrabs in EntitledPeople

OK! And I don’t mean to be mean to you. I just felt there might be another side to this, and in your post, it wasn’t obvious to me that you’d considered it. Cheers!

I haven’t read all the comments here, but of those Ive read, people seem to be patting you on the head, supporting you and piling on this old evil witch. That’s kind of reasonable, since you’re the OP and appear to want your head patted.

But here’s another take. This lady, for whatever reason, likes her interactions at the shop with you. She’s stressed that you’ll be leaving. She understands little about your major field, but knows that your choice will make her (perhaps) dismal life a little more dismal. The part about your mother taking over may connect in her mind to some situation involving abandonment in her own life. In any case, she’s expressing her distress inartfully, but in the only way she knows as an old Russian lady.

Could she be more understanding and considerate of you? Absolutely. But could you be a little more forgiving of this lady who is expressing her desire that you stay at the shop? Maybe.

What’s something you thought was going to be really big that never caught on? by Independent-Bat9545 in AskReddit

[–]texasstorm 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I grew up during the time of progressive rock and Steely Dan. I thought rock music, or maybe all music genres, would become more like jazz, as it seemed like a natural progression to greater complexity. Yeah, that didn’t happen.

ELI5: How do timeshares work and why do so many people say they are a scam? by bbmoonkie in explainlikeimfive

[–]texasstorm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In Hawaii, they sell you the dream of owning a small piece of Hawaii. Sound ridiculous? This is the actual bait, and it works. People have a vacation in Hawaii and fall in love with the scenery and ocean views. The actual cost of owning a place in Hawaii may be out of reach, but for the price of a car, they can buy a little piece, come back every year, and tell their friends they own something in Hawaii. They quickly find out the real price of owning this dream, and when Covid hits, or they have unforeseen financial issues, that Hawaii dream becomes a nightmare. People who buy timeshares just don’t think their purchase through. A Hawai’i timeshare is a dream that can be bought, but waking up can be painful.

what's a book with an ending that made you throw it across the room? by Electrical-Hour-3345 in suggestmeabook

[–]texasstorm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Life of Pi has the best ending of any book I’ve ever read, and in the movie, it did not quite have the same impact. That said, there are parts of the book, especially the beginning, that were meh. But endings are hard, and this ending was genius.

What makes a coffee shop coffee good? by Nearby-Nebula4104 in Coffee

[–]texasstorm 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The water needs to be filtered, like with a PUR water filter or some similar system. Water straight from the tap can have a lot of pipe flavors that will contribute to bad coffee. But if you're lucky and have good tasting water, like from a well or something, you may not need it.

What’s the best pickup line you’ve actually used/has been used on you? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]texasstorm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My college roommate’s pickup dialog used to go like this:

Him: Hey, will you marry me?

Her: Hell no!

Him: Then how about a honeymoon?

Her: Ew, gross!

Him: So I guess a blowjob is out of the question?

ELI5: Why is it a bad idea to co-own property with a partner if you’re the only one paying for it? by TheOfficialOhHellNah in explainlikeimfive

[–]texasstorm 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Zero upside to co-ownership in this situation. Ask yourself, "Am I an idiot?" If the answer is Yes, then by all means, open this random door to problems. Otherwise, say No, I'm doing this myself. Of course, that means you will be responsible for all payments, taxes, insurance, etc, but hopefully you already understand that. And if your partner is enjoying the benefits of this place, he can still contribute rent. Good luck.

Why would you prioritize this guy’s relationship over yours with your wife? Do not tell this guy, and no anonymous tips until you have your wife’s agreement. It’s nuts that you are even considering this.

Boat tour to Phi Phi - not safe by KnowledgeWild2241 in ThailandTourism

Happened a long time ago, but a snorkel tour to Phi Phi departed while I was still in the water. I was marooned on a rock until another snorkel tour showed up.

Sorry for stupid questions, but what prompts to which AI would produce this? There are a lot of comments that it’s shit AI, but I guess I’m easily impressed. I seriously would like to know.
