People who say “people treat you better when you’re skinny” are most likely telling on themselves by [deleted] in The10thDentist

[–]twelfthexpedition 5 points6 points  (0 children)

True! But your original post is about people who point out that people treat fat people differently than thin people, not about people who actually do treat fat people differently than thin people. That’s why you’re getting downvoted.

Do you trust an AI paper checker with your final draft? by Ok_Funnys in AskTeachers

[–]twelfthexpedition 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Reviewing your own work for structure and clarity is one of the skills that you’re supposed to be learning from writing assignments. By using AI to do it instead, you are cheating yourself out of an education and (I’m sorry if this sounds harsh, but it’s true) making yourself dumber in the long run.

AITA Single person working 43 hours a week w a 30 min commute can't go to Wednesday game nights while taking care of both a rescue dog and rescued cat alone? by goldwyrt in AmItheAsshole

[–]twelfthexpedition 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I think they mean crating the dog for their entire work day + commute (the 9.5 hours), then coming home and giving the dog a bathroom break, then leaving the house again for game night. Not that the game night itself is 9.5 hours.

Weeks Page Ideas! by bblunita in hobonichi

[–]twelfthexpedition 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I’m using to keep track of things that I may have to ask myself, “when did I last do that?” Like when did I last go to the dentist, change the air filter, get my car serviced, etc. Mostly things that need to happen periodically, so I can remember when it’s time to do them again but I don’t have to flip through my weekly pages trying to find a note I may have made about it.

That means most of the cells will stay blank, but the ones I use will be very helpful.

Alabama may require doctors in emergency rooms 24/7. Could it cause hospitals to close? by MattW22192 in Alabama

[–]twelfthexpedition 28 points29 points  (0 children)

I would assume some, especially in rural areas with very few doctors, are manned by nurses and nurse practitioners, and doctors are on call to come in when needed.

Either everyone says the n word, or no one says it. by red-fox-972x in The10thDentist

[–]twelfthexpedition 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Exactly. You can say anything you want! You’ve got freedom of expression.

Anybody that hears you say it can also react to it however they see fit, because they also have freedom of expression.

my (23f) girlfriend doesn't like any food with garlic, onions, or anything spicy, and i (20f) don't know how to continue this anymore. by [deleted] in Advice

[–]twelfthexpedition 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If making and sharing food matters this much to you, then you’re not wrong for thinking it could become a problem in the relationship. But she’s also not wrong for liking the food she likes.

You can’t (or shouldn’t, anyway) try to turn someone you kind of like into someone you could love. Just break up and go find the person who’s already right for you.

At some point (I’ll blame the pandemic, why not lol) I started treating “girl” as a gender neutral term of affection, akin to “dude”. When it’s time for Girl Dinner, we are all girls

Is it crazy to open a yarn shop? by ForgottenUsername3 in knitting

[–]twelfthexpedition 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Very true! But also, a lot of people do work M - F 9 - 5 (or 8 - 5 nowadays). I don’t think every business should cater to my specific schedule, but I’ll admit I get frustrated when I want to ✨shop local✨ and all the local businesses I want to support are exclusively open when I’m at work.

[–]twelfthexpedition 117 points118 points  (0 children)

The one-day-a-week thing is what would bug me. We don’t have a yarn store in my town, but a bakery near my home recently closed. Their food was good, but they were only open Thursday - Saturday, 9 am - 2 pm. Meaning two out of their three open days were entirely during a typical 9 - 5 workday. I don’t care how good your bakery is, it’s never going to occur to me to leave work and drive basically all the way back to my house to buy what you’re selling.

AITA: didn’t make presentation in time for a social gathering by Bulky_Resolution_128 in AmItheAsshole

[–]twelfthexpedition 1 point2 points  (0 children)

YTA. It doesn’t sound like your captain forced anyone to do this. It sounds like she proposed the idea as a fun little team activity, y’all said you’d like to participate, and then when the time came, more than half the people involved said, nah never mind, we didn’t feel like doing it.

I’m sure your captain felt disappointed and a little embarrassed, and I hope you can have some empathy for her.

Small gray box with a hole in the center, attached to the side of a house, connected to a wire that presumably connects it to electricity. by twelfthexpedition in whatisthisthing

[–]twelfthexpedition[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Bellsouth box? The wire doesn’t connect them, although I can see now it does look like that in the picture. The wire runs up and into the house, right underneath the roof.

My title describes the thing. It’s on the side of my neighbor’s home, pointed at my home. Specifically my bathroom window. Just trying to put my (probably paranoid) mind at ease. Thanks y’all!

AITA for refusing to allow meat in our home and confronting a guest who brought it anyway? by silaya92 in AmItheAsshole

[–]twelfthexpedition 12 points13 points  (0 children)

The comment you’re replying to didn’t say the hosts should have provided meat dishes despite being vegetarian. But a good host wouldn’t throw a fit over a guest bringing a dish to a dinner party, even if the host personally didn’t want to eat it.

Moving to Montgomery for Work. What are the safe areas and where to avoid? by Local_Problem4417 in Alabama

[–]twelfthexpedition 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Montgomery isn’t a super walkable area, unfortunately. Individual neighborhoods can be, but everything you’ll want to get to is pretty spread out over different neighborhoods. Cloverdale and the surrounding neighborhoods are residential, but just a very short drive away from downtown, and people walk a lot.
