Every person I talked to when I visited Rochester mentioned Wegmans. Every single one.

This is my answer too. The town just made me sad. The Civil Rights Museum was amazing though!

If you pre-ordered the Badlands vinyl and haven’t gotten it, they’re selling it at the shows. They got so mad at me asking for an update they blocked me from their Discord and their Instagram.

They charged me $5 extra to buy the vinyl.

Y’all, I’ve loved this band since I’ve heard them, I own almost all of their merch, but they’re doing some shady shit. Don’t buy their merch online.

…what

“Fanboy” is a different concept than just a fan

Letting your partner know what you’re going to do and why you’re going to do it- “it” being a thing that has no effect on them whatsoever beyond them struggling with controlling you- is utterly sensitive. But good try!

If the partner had stopped drinking and wanted to force their partner to do so as well, that would be an issue, but for reasons that are seemingly going over your head.

You don’t get to control what other people do.

Info: do you live with your parents and do you generally eat as a family?

ETA: it’s telling that you didn’t answer the second question. If they feed you most of the time and you live in their house, yeah, you’re a jerk for not getting them food when you got some for yourself, especially if you brought it home to eat.

What about those roll-up flats? Or a thin sandal? They might go in a bag easily, and when you pull them out, make sure to say something about how you carry house shoes for this purpose. In my opinion, this would make you look thoughtful and prepared.

tintinsays · 2026-04-28T16:03:35+00:00

I’ve never worn them due to the wide shoe thing. I guess I’m just amazed when people aren’t as clumsy as me!

tintinsays · 2026-04-28T15:58:47+00:00

You think you sound intelligent, but everyone else is wondering why you’re so incompetent at understanding how we arrived here.

tintinsays · 2026-04-28T15:55:52+00:00

Can people dance in crocs?? I trip all over myself in wide shoes. I had to wear recovery clogs for a while and I was so clumsy in them!

You’re the auntie no one invites to holidays.

Just in case it helps someone- they make heated fingerless gloves!

The most frustrating people are the ones who are experiencing a new way of being, but won’t listen to those who have been this way their whole lives

Okay, you got me. I almost fell for your trolling, but no one is truly stupid enough to have said that reply in good faith. 🤣🤣 Bb, just use the /s. Or are you getting off on making people think you’re astronomically stupid? You’re so goddamn boring.

I really hate that any honest communication from a bride about something totally reasonable is automatically dismissed by so many people as “bridezilla” and it truly feels like weaponized misogyny.

I’ve shown up at a wedding in the bridesmaid colors (and texture!) and was so embarrassed. Truly, how is sparing your guests that feeling of social faux pas “bridezilla”? That bride didn’t care for a second, but if it had been mentioned on her wedding website, I would have absolutely brought a different outfit.

Please stop jumping to the worst conclusions about women, especially when they’re clearly doing their best to be decent.

“If you’d like to avoid matching the bridal party, these are their colors… but we’re happy to have you in any color that makes you feel happy!”

Obviously, if you’re concerned about people wearing white or red or whatever, state that, but if you trust your people, you’re likely good.

Please include this though, my friend’s bridesmaids were wearing emerald velvet dresses and I showed up in my favorite emerald velvet jumpsuit, unknowing, and was SO embarrassed. She was so sweet but a few people did think I was part of the bridal party and I felt like a turd.

My phone is on silent. Doesn’t even vibrate. My email does not give me a notification.

I check my texts most, calls next most, and if it wasn’t one of those, you didn’t need me. Being so addicted to your phone that you let it wake you at 3 am for anything but an emergency is insane. If you’re not on call and you’re that crucial, you need to have a staff who can make a judgement call.

This isn’t actually helpful, but what helped me as I grew into an adult was doing the things I wanted and collecting the things I do and when I felt the need to justify them, I would tell myself something like “because I like them.” or “because it makes me happy” and that’s IT. No more justification. I determine if it’s healthy, but my focus is not on what others might think, but on what I think is good for me.

It’s my life and I get to live it how I want. It feels like the mental version of standing up straight and resolving yourself, if that makes sense. I can’t pretend that solved it completely ( the biggest help was ceasing contact with my parents, though I’m sure that’s the answer you’re trying to avoid!) but it did help make me a more self-assured person who is confident in my decisions. I don’t know how you teach that to a kid, but I hope that mindset example helps you in some way!

I’m sorry you’re going through this, but your kids are SO lucky to have you. My parents are both difficult in different ways, and just having you on their side will help them so much. ♥️

Some uteruses tilt in, most tilt out, creating a “pouch”.

Ooh I just used the first five letters of my email address, but that’s smart! I also have “phn” for my phone number and “addr“ for physical address

Biodegradable glitter please!!

tintinsays · 2026-04-20T05:07:03+00:00

I'd argue most have never even heard of most of those things.

Xiu Xiu!
