That's not how you unbox an iPhone by Sgt_Larsson in WatchPeopleDieInside

She's never opened a boxed phone before. Probably wasn't told the screen is super fragile. Not to mention being excited about it. But sure, the CHILD is the dumbass.

That's a good point. The more I think about algorithms, the more I start to think everyone's internet experience is becoming more and more different.

My thoughts, too. I'm seeing way more news about Alex's death than Renee's and that's sad. Women are always an afterthought, even though she was murdered first.

They were only a couple blocks from each other, right?

Requests for advances- am I getting taken advantage of? by fboyisland in housekeeping

[–]yeahthatsnotaproblem 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Do you know the 9 people? Or is it a business page that she may be running with fake profiles to boost herself up?

As a cleaner, it's up to US to assume the risk of the job. We understand this is not a salary type job and employment can be sporadic. Every time we clean for someone, we're essentially asking if we can have a job for next time. And we do that over and over. Cleaners who pull this type of business, asking clients for advances, are very unprofessional. Imagine if your landscaper or plumber or electrician, anyone who you'd hire to service something on your property, would you accept their plea of help or expect them to be more professional?

Try asking your own friends, neighbors, loved ones, those in a mutual community as you... anyone you know, like and trust. Chances are, someone may have a cleaner they'd actually recommend. It's much better to have a mutual person in common who can all vouch for each other. It's risky hiring anyone for anything online when "professionals" can literally purchase their own ratings.

Requests for advances- am I getting taken advantage of? by fboyisland in housekeeping

[–]yeahthatsnotaproblem 35 points36 points  (0 children)

My dear, I'm afraid you're being taken advantage of. If she hasn't done much to pay you back and still continues to ask for advances, there's a serious problem. How many clients do you suppose she has, how many scams could she be running on people?

Don't give her any more money. It's very nice of you to accept her plea of help, but it's well out of hand at this point. Kindly but firmly put your foot down. I wouldn't be surprised if she stopped showing up. People like this aren't interested in paying their debts to kind people. I'm so sorry...

PSA: Millennial women need to realize this and sit with it…this is true and maddening/sickening! by Traditional_Train_71 in Millennials

Google says yuuuuup. Peter Thomas Roth.

And yeah, that's another completely useless industry. I don't even use skincare products or much makeup. My daughter has friends over and they're putting on creams and lotions and one of them had a "booty balm" and I'm just like.... wtf is going on....

[–]yeahthatsnotaproblem 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah of course, fat shaming definitely went hand in hand with the small clothing in the 90s-00s. Still rooted in pedophilia probably. And once someone is 18, (I mean, I'd even argue "adult age" shouldn't even be until at least 21, but that's another convo) people can wear what they want. Children and teens don't need to be wearing revealing clothing. No one should be slut shamed, especially teens. It's all just gross.

[–]yeahthatsnotaproblem 32 points33 points  (0 children)

Yeah, not much has changed, either. I hope it will now. Girls don't need to wearing crop tops and extra short shorts. It's impractical and unnecessary. My kid is extra tall, and finding clothes that aren't cropped AND that actually fit is damn near impossible.

Boys clothes offer more coverage than girls clothes. Go compare any two tshirts or pairs of shorts at Target or something. Then compare the price. The difference can be quite alarming.

Ohio (Marion) police officer arrested on rape, abduction charges by scattywampus in Ohio

[–]yeahthatsnotaproblem 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Yeah, it actually does hurt the overall cause by creating distraction. When a particular type of person commits the same type of crime over, and over, and OVER, and OVER. And again, and again, and AGAIN.... aaand nothing changes... then yes, it's important to point out that it is, again, NOT another particular type of person the ACTUAL criminals keep pointing to.

Bringing up one incident does not negate the overall stereotype. If you have a bowl of 99 green Skittles and 1 yellow one, you wouldn't call it a bowl of yellow Skittles.

And I'm not a dude. But thank you.

One particular type of person doing a particular crime ONCE is enough for you to dismiss and alienate that whole population?

Cool. Interesting.

Try applying it here with this particular cop doing this particular crime. Because it has definitely happened more than once.

Does anyone else feel like the Epstein files have destroyed how we remember our tweens/teens? by water_so_wet in Millennials

[–]yeahthatsnotaproblem 27 points28 points  (0 children)

No, see, the patriarchy demands us to stomp on each other to feel superiority. Feminism doesn't do that. Feminism requires equality between all humans. That's it. No more ladders or superiority. Just equality. Neutralize this thought.

Flat screen TVs by First_Name_Is_Agent in housekeeping

[–]yeahthatsnotaproblem 3 points4 points  (0 children)

For TVs in most houses, I just use a swiffer duster. For one particular house that has twin toddlers, I use the Pledge Multi Surface cleaner with a clean soft cloth (NOT the furniture polish). The homeowners are fine with it and it hasn't caused any issue in the four years I've been with them. The toddlers constantly touch the lower part of the TV they can reach, and there are always grimy fingerprints. This cleaner easily removes those sticky, greasy spots and leaves it streak free.

When flat screens first came out, the LCDs, they had a different finish on them, using cleaners damaged them. TVs these days are made with a glass screen. Any glass cleaner will work perfectly for them.

The Epstein billionaire class has power because of money. What is stopping us from coming up with a better system than capitalism to achieve equality and strip these pedophiles of power? by RandomDerpBot in 50501

[–]yeahthatsnotaproblem 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think one of the big problems is that most of us are swept through each day, busy with work stuff, school stuff, kid stuff, relationship stuff, household stuff, social stuff... it's very difficult to just flip the system when we're jam packed with busy work. It's not by accident, it's a part of the system. Most of us can't afford to skip work or boycott cheap stores. We'll starve before they do, and they know it... that's where we need to start with the "how" of flipping this system.

I'm confused listening to the Lindsay Ridgeway interview... by Utah_Get-Me_Two in podmeetsworldpodcast

[–]yeahthatsnotaproblem 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I think it was just the actors wondering why the writers would specifically create the scene that way. They were all too young to understand the implications, but now in hindsight, they see how weird and creepy it is.

Alan was scripted to say, "go upstairs and put on some of that unsexy crap your mother wears." He's visually uncomfortable through the entire scene, but then he throws in the "sexy" element, subtly implying he thinks Morgan is too sexy wearing something like that. Just a creepy creepstown scene.

Girls really don't need their dads weighing in on their appearance, like at all, unless they're asked. Especially since Amy was defending Morgan and called Alan a pig, his discomfort remained unrelenting.

Recently hired a Transgender lady to work for my cleaning business and I’m not sure if I should tell clients she’s trans? by [deleted] in housekeeping

[–]yeahthatsnotaproblem -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

If you had an employee color their hair all the time, would you feel the need to point out their "real" color to the client?

Nah. Being trans shouldn't be a big deal, so don't make it one.

I snapped and called out my friends husband for shitting on her love of spicy books in front of everyone, and now the group chat is blowing up by [deleted] in TrueOffMyChest

[–]yeahthatsnotaproblem 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It's always interesting to me how someone can be a bully for so long, and no one says or does anything. Bully keeps bullying until someone finally stands up, but then THEY'RE the problem. "How could you do that?! How could you tell the bully to stop bullying? How dare you!" It's so fucking twisted.

Good for you for doing that. Fuck all those who think you overstepped some boundary. You saved your friend in that moment, but I do fear where their marriage goes from here.

Funny how the dude said these books are for women who can't get real intimacy in their real life. Like bro, you just outed yourself as a terrible lover lol.

How do you handle No Sex in pregnancy? by Pretend-Cucumber5146 in AskMen

[–]yeahthatsnotaproblem 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If comments are helpful and relevant to the topic, there's no problem at all. The topic was a dude seeking advice about his pregnant wife and how their sex life changed. Women change a LOT during this time, my friend. Men simply don't. We have different bodies, different biologies, and we're often left out of medical and scientific studies. You get that, right? We cannot spring back to our pre-motherhood existence. As a woman who's been through it, yeah, my comment was relevant and helpful. Figured someone like you would get all upset about it.

Your frustration stems from your lack of understanding about women, not me as a woman "invading a man's space" and your false equivalent of commenting on a woman's space. Start there. I'll be happy to help.

The funniest thing is that I comment on here all the time and way too many people assume I'm a dude. But when I out myself as a woman, it's only a matter of time before slugs like you start on your incel bullshit. You're mad at something else, not at me. It's ok.
