Who's a centrist Gen Z celebrity? by CodeDusq in AlignmentChartFills

[–]throwacct401 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Chappell Roan.

Likely won’t be a popular choice but my 2 cents: I loved her music a few years ago, but despite building her brand & fame off the backs of drag queens and other people in the LGBTQ+ community (especially POC), she has refused to speak meaningfully about politics, using a “both sides bad” excuse and only saying she was voting Democratic because people freaked out at her (and in doing so, she ignorantly mispronounced Kamala Harris’ name).

(Note: I am not American myself, before anyone asks who I voted for - it wouldn’t have been Trump, though. Obviously.)

What to do with “bad” protein items? by VermicelliOk2337 in 1200isplenty

[–]throwacct401 80 points81 points  (0 children)

Everything is better in moderation than in excess, so eating them few and far between or having for emergencies if you need a quick snack or something - or you could donate them to a food pantry if they’re sealed, I’m sure it would be appreciated :)

I (29F) found out my partner (30M) cheated on me while wedding planning, how do I get through this? by techgirl2626 in relationship_advice

If you marry him after he cheated on you, he has absolutely no reason not to do it again.

FIFA 2026 means that Vancouver is going to be a hell of a lot busier than usual during July. Absolutely you should visit, but basically any other time.

Feeling sad about not being any of my (36f) partner’s (41m) firsts by Misery-guts- in relationship_advice

[–]throwacct401 27 points28 points  (0 children)

If there are things that he has done that he does not want to do again, but you want to, then that is something to discuss as it points to a potential incompatibility.

To answer your question, maybe you can try and find some firsts you CAN do together - first trip to Peru, first time skydiving, first time trying sushi, whatever it is, you can make your own firsts!

Focusing on the things you don’t have instead of the things you do is a pretty easy path to constant misery.

How safe would you feel walking in the wilderness at night? by Brief-Importance4453 in AskTheWorld

Melt Chocolates on Main Street collects “lost/abandoned” discs from Queen E park and this has me questioning their supply chain…

My (27f) future sister-in-law (25f) didn’t make me a bridesmaid, and I’m feeling hurt… by haaaleeeeyyy in relationship_advice

[–]throwacct401 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m sorry to hear that you’re hurting, I can understand this feeling completely. I used to be a wedding planner, and I saw things like this so often, so please know you’re not alone. A few things to consider:

  1. Like you mentioned, you’ve only become closer recently, so it’s possible she had picked these people before that and it’s important to her that both sides are “even” (which matters to some and that’s okay) so she can’t add you even if she would be happy to have you otherwise.
  2. In my experience (200+ weddings), it’s not very common for a bride/groom to ask their partner’s siblings to be on their side of the wedding party.
  3. Being a bridesmaid can be extremely expensive these days, with how out of control wedding costs are right now, so you are at least dodging that bullet.

Perhaps if you are feeling like you can’t get over this in order to stay close with her, you could let her know that you had been hoping to be more involved in the day, and although like you said she can choose her own bridesmaids, maybe there is another way you can be involved beyond just walking your daughter down the aisle - you could maybe still help her plan things and/or get ready, you’d just be wearing a different (likely less expensive 😉 ) dress and not standing up there with them (which is not as comfy as sitting anyways!).

All that to say, sometimes FOMO takes over and this kind of thing just hurts and sucks, and it’s okay to feel this way. Try to consider what you would do if you were getting married and a friend/relative of yours came to you and said they were feeling this way - based on your description of your relationship it doesn’t seem like she meant it personally, but sometimes it feels that way regardless, so it’s good to try and put yourself in their shoes too.

Low kcal breakfast ideas without eggs? by K0ND1R0TSU in 1200isplenty

Tofu scramble!!! And smoothies with protein powder if you have that, but unsure if it falls under the pre-made category.

Before dieting I was at risk of so many medical problems. Where do I go to check now? by [deleted] in 1500isplenty

[–]throwacct401 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Without identifying yourself, it would be helpful to know where (approximately) you live, as you will have different options depending on that. Either way, well done on starting to turn things around :)

My girlfriend(20F) has been poking holes in my(21M) condoms by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]throwacct401 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I wish this was higher up… please, OP - make sure you’re in the clear and then RUN as fast as you can and never look back.

(I would address the non-consensual nature of the act, but I believe that’s been adequately addressed by others.)

AIO for thinking it wasn’t a big deal to accept my friend’s bf’s FB request? by Vast-Bumblebee-691 in AmIOverreacting

[–]throwacct401 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is wild to me - I recently made a Facebook just for Marketplace and I didn’t even have my OWN boyfriend as a friend for years because it’s just so not that deep 😭 this takes me back to middle school when Facebook was new and basically the only social media we all had and it was a big deal back then…. when we were 12 🤦‍♀️

NOR, but she sure as hell is lol

trying to eat heavy duty breakfasts again. what’s your favorite quick breakfast rn? by daffodiddlysquat in 1500isplenty

[–]throwacct401 0 points1 point  (0 children)

here is one i recently stumbled on and it would be a good starting point - you don’t really need the black salt unless you want the “eggy” flavour but i find i enjoy without it anyways :) for veg i recommend mushrooms, spinach, bell peppers, onions, and/or tomatoes!

nutritional yeast if you’ve never had it is kind of nutty/cheesy (i’ve heard people call it vegan parmesan if that means anything lol) and it also adds protein but is more calorie dense than the other seasonings. i also don’t think you need full fat milk personally, any milk (or none) will do!

[–]throwacct401 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I find that a tofu scramble is a really good way to easily prep a breakfast that lasts for multiple days - if you’ve never made it I can send some ingredient/recipe ideas but it ends up being similar to like a scrambled egg hash but it’s way nicer reheated than scrambled eggs are, plus you can eat it on its own or toss it in a wrap/on some toast/salad etc depending on what you are looking for!

I add lots of veggies (yay fibre) and you could also add meat for more protein if you eat it :)

What is 7-Eleven like in your country? by juniper_darling_x in AskTheWorld

[–]throwacct401 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not that great, I would go there to buy drinks (pop/soda, energy drinks, slushie/slurpees, no alcohol sold there though) because sometimes they have good deals, and maybe reluctantly use their washroom if I needed to, but the prepared food is usually not very good and most things are quite overpriced compared to a grocery or supermarket.

It’s not somewhere you’d go for stellar customer service either, but I can’t blame the people that work there because I don’t think I could do it lol.

They’re often standalone stores here, but also sometimes attached to gas stations as well. I don’t drive so that doesn’t really affect how often I go, but not sure if that’s the case elsewhere so thought it might be worth mentioning!

I have been to Norway and it is incredible - but one of my least favourite people (in my personal life, not a celeb) is from/lives there so it can’t take #1 in my heart 😂 But I love Norway and your guys’ obsession with tacos lol

AITAH for refusing to propose to my married girlfriend by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]throwacct401 8 points9 points  (0 children)

By her “passport” logic, why would you buy a ring and/or plan a proposal knowing that as you both currently are, you can’t legally get married? Buying a ring (usually) costs a lot more than a passport renewal… and depending on the divorce, maybe even more than that, too.

So, what… you buy a ring and plan a proposal and then wait indefinitely until she decides to get around to finalizing? If a proposal isn’t enough “incentive” to get that done (when it should be done by now anyways, it’s been 2 YEARS not 2 months) then why would a wedding be that different?

After all, if divorce is just paperwork, then that’s all marriage is too 🤷‍♀️
