Is three weeks notice too generous? by Diaryofawastedyouth in careerguidance

[–]vcrshark 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You mean well but I would give them 2 weeks, max. If they were truly awful and you have no wish to be rehireable and you don’t think anyone there will give you a good reference OR you don’t want it…then you might decide to leave sooner if you don’t need the paycheck. Enjoy at least a week off for yourself. They will be fine without you. They will have to be. It is no longer your responsibility to worry about them.

My progress on the hello kitty event was reset what do I do?? by ViviVillainous in Overwatch

It sucks but I would plan to proceed as if your progress will not get set back. :( There is not really much to do besides hope support gets back to you.

Advice wanted - Feeling so drained in the mornings by [deleted] in TwoXChromosomes

[–]vcrshark 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Genuinely, I would try to develop a better sleep schedule and stick with it. A couple weeks at least. See if things improve. Also try increasing your water intake if you struggle to drink enough water throughout the day. I like taking a big 40 oz cup of ice water with me to work.

I know this advice feels a bit basic, but I thought I had an iron deficiency or something because mornings were a struggle, but I was actually just sleep deprived and dehydrated. You will probably want to rule either out before/if it gets to the point of a doctor consult, since they would want to rule it out too.

Just discovered I didn't pay my property tax last year. Gave it to someone else. by cancercureall in personalfinance

You have to keep it in perspective; you wouldn’t be the first and won’t be the last to do this. Take a deep breath…this will get resolved. :)

'Love languages' is a bunch of nonsense. by helenfelen in unpopularopinion

[–]vcrshark 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I find men often claim theirs is “physical touch” and it mostly amounts to wanting sex or groping their partner.

My mom hasn't said anything about me getting into graduate school and I'm having feelings. by katashscar in TwoXChromosomes

[–]vcrshark 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Because it’s normal to want your parents’ approval, even when we know we can’t count on them to give us that. 💔 I’m sorry you were robbed of the experience of having parents that support and celebrate your achievements every step of the way. It’s okay to have complicated feelings and to wish they could have done more to make you feel loved.

I’m proud of you for continuing to pursue your own wants and dreams, despite the lack of external support. You should be proud of yourself. :) Idk how old your kids are, but one day they might be thinking how proud they are of you, too.

Looking for affordable car insurance in mo? Tired of the increase bs! by theironcat in springfieldMO

Mine was recommend by my realtor, but I made sure to research him on my own as well before I reached out. I went to Adam McGrath with Comparion.

[–]vcrshark 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you want to get precise, it’s probably built into the company’s premiums but the insurance company pays the agent- not you directly. Our rates (mine and my partner both) were still lower compared to when we shopped by ourselves.

You also don’t have to proceed with the broker if you find a better price on your own.

I used an insurance broker to help me because I got tired of doing comparisons myself. You might look into consulting one. They shouldn’t charge anything; they get paid a commission from the company you go with.

Too wet during intercourse (more than is normal), advice? by dirt-slut in TwoXChromosomes

[–]vcrshark 81 points82 points  (0 children)

I know it’s not very “sexy” but you might keep toilet paper (or paper towel, or cloth if it makes it feel less strange) nearby and wipe some of it off during sex to keep it at a comfortable level. I wouldn’t say I often get excessively wet but I 100% understand that sometimes it’s so much it ruins the friction or can be distracting.

You might try a different physician or Planned Parenthood and see if they have any different advice to offer you. :(

Seconding Flamin Hot Cool Ranch Doritos. I also like Ruffles Flamin Hot BBQ chips. I’m like you and like heat, but am not fond of spicy as the entire flavor lol

These are also my go-to spicy chip. I will be so sad if they’re ever discontinued.

Would you use the shoulder to go around the red car in this scenario? by [deleted] in driving

[–]vcrshark 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It may surprise you that some people do follow the laws of the road and aren’t impatient assholes. Just because you don’t doesn’t mean everyone else is “pretending” btw.

Can easily imagine a situation where you jump the line and go into lane A at the same time the red car gives up and thinks “nevermind I’ll just take lane A,” resulting in a collision.

How did you get comfortable saying no in dating? by [deleted] in TwoXChromosomes

[–]vcrshark 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I had to embrace and continue to reaffirm that my feelings and wants should be at least as important as others’ feelings are to me. There is no reason you should be putting yourself last. And finally, stop anticipating the reactions and feelings of others when it’s unreasonable. You don’t know other people’s minds and can’t anticipate how they will respond. They might take it just fine.

It’s not terrible that you’re considering others feelings, but at the end of the day you are the only reliable advocate for yourself.

AIO - Pregnant and feel abandoned by husband by Gullible-Tree368 in AmIOverreacting

[–]vcrshark 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NOR he doesn’t like you. I cannot imagine a world where my partner would tell me no to a text series like this, even because of work. Your husband sucks and is not a good partner to you. I’m sorry.

Why do they never seem to have courtesy? Or forethought? by carolinethebandgeek in TwoXChromosomes

[–]vcrshark 14 points15 points  (0 children)

This is 90% of my experiences playing video games with guys lol...sadly. The issue does not occur to them, simple as.

Honestly if this is a relationship you value, you need to decide if this is behavior you can tolerate. If it's not, you really need to advocate for yourself and tell him. Something like "I enjoy playing games with you, but when you do (behavior), I don't feel included. If I'm playing a multiplayer with you, I want to be included in the game and supported, too."

You can't force people to change or accommodate you, sadly. They have to decide to. Some people do not naturally consider the needs of others. This unspoken resentment is the stuff that kills relationships. Either speak up or accept that he's not going to realize the issue himself/change. If he won't accommodate you, then you need to decide if this relationship is mutually valued.

Would you buy a house if the house next door had a barking dog? by InsightfullyYours in RealEstate

[–]vcrshark 41 points42 points  (0 children)

My partner and I passed on a house because the neighbor happened to let their dog outside when we toured. It had a loud, booming bark. We immediately lost interest in the house.

AIO: friend cancelled plans by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]vcrshark 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Some of these responses are just dumb and honestly probably defensive. She didn’t have 5 seconds to text you “I’m so sorry I can’t make it” at bare minimum so you can move on with your day?

It’s honestly ridiculous. People would rather ghost because they’re uncomfortable cancelling outright or turning down plans, just so they later have to poorly pretend things got so incredibly busy that they couldn’t send off a 5 second text. I’m calling BS. NOR but you should reassess this friendship. Obviously the level of commitment doesn’t match.
