Beachcomber posted:Ok, so the question is when the notice is coming. If it's coming at dinner time, that's like an hour delay on dinner every day, which sucks. Going to dinner via public transportation requires little to no planning. It's all designed to be more-or-less on demand, you just board it and go to the place you're going. The need for reservations varies from place to place but usually if you go in the middle of the week your going to be able to just walk in to the vast majority of places. Traveling an hour to dinner every day obviously isn't going to work for most people, but if that's what's going on he didn't mention it.

AITA for refusing to give my fiancée a cursed engagement ring?quote:My family has a beautiful 22k gold, 6 carat sapphire ring, that originally belonged to my great grandmother and was passed down. Everybody that wore it suffered some sort of misfortune— untimely death of themselves or husbands/children, financial ruin, infidelity of partner, etc. Hence overtime people in the family began to believe it was cursed, and although we still own it, nobody has worn it in years.

Using transit absolutely takes planning, especially if you are taking a bus you don't usually take. Like you're going want to check a schedule and maybe a map to see where the stops are. I think OPs phrasing is funny but I don't think "hey let me know the night before if you want to go somewhere farther away" is an unreasonable request.

What an rear end in a top hat. Isn't sitting through one unpalatable meal without being a whiny little dweeb about it a skill everyone has to learn? I know when I got to visit someone's relatives I expect to be served the blandest americana dreck but hope to be pleasantly surprised

isn't Netflix doing a series, like they did on Dahmer, on those two? I just can't see how that can carry more than 2-3 episodes. AITA for telling my co-worker she shouldn't have had children because of her attitude? quote:Up until recently I (19F) worked in a kitchen in a small restaurant with this one co-worker "Stacy" (23F) and maybe 5 others. We were a small team and we all worked pretty well together, but because Stacy has a young son (2) with down syndrome and a heart condition and a 9 month-old daughter, she never attends any of our social gatherings after work, which means not many of us know a great deal about her except what she chooses to share with us whenever we're not busy.

Lunchtime is about the ideal time to be making special dinner plans, really. You shouldn't be working, especially if your lunch is unpaid. Texts are pretty quick as long as both parties are paying attention, and even a quick "hey I want to go somewhere different for supper" text any time before lunch can make it easier to accommodate, both physically and mentally. I know I'd hate it if I came home from work and my SO immediately hit me with an "I want to go to a restaurant 45 minutes away for supper" without knowing in advance.

TIFU rating myself a 2.5/10 in terms of attractivenessquote:You know those videos where they approach people in public and ask you to rate yourself on a scale of 1-10? Well someone was filming one of those videos and approached me and my husband and asked us to rate ourselves. We were playing Pokémon Go earlier in the day in a busy part of the city so we decided to spend the rest of the day there walking around and shopping and had planned to get dinner later.

I think the big rating subreddit has established 6.5 as the unofficial max score for anyone that isn't a model. And I don't mean as in "they look like they could be a model", but as in is literally currently working as a model. 5 should be the mean, median, and mode for anyone who looks pretty and has no flaws in skin, hair, face, teeth, dress, affect, etc. etc. Yes you can get warned and even banned for ratings outside this rubric. If you give someone who looks like a Hollywood actor's prettier cousin an 8.75 be prepared for an angry DM if they're not actual standard deviations prettier.

The philtrum is a bit longer and flatter. I think one that is shorter with some definition like Adriana Lima is most ideal. I think the eyebrows are too arched and that will create a disney villain effect. Some arch is feminine yes but you would want that more like Monica Bellucci's. ...just not such an arch like urs. I think ur face is ever so slightly too oval lacking geometry and sharp lines. Nicole Meyer has an ideal oval face shape. You can see how her jaw and ramus development affect the front. Ur attractive but not striking or highly phenomenal.

On average most people are above average; this is because it is a joy to see another person. This is then further modified by how much you like the person. It doesn't matter if they have a snaggle tooth or a big nose if you like them and want to spend time with them. hope this helps!

My friend's family are extremely conservative chinese christians who would constantly lose their mind over their grandson DATING GIRLS in his late teens. They would constantly kick him out of the family for having girls over, but he was the eldest son so they had to have him in their life so would then give him extravagant gifts to bring him back into the family. The best part is how this worked for family vacations. He'd often have a girlfriend he'd want to bring, they would say no way since he's not married, he'd say he's not coming unless they invite her too, they'd cave but to make sure they aren't living in sin they'd upgrade from like 1 rented house to 2 just for the girlfriend to not be sleeping in the same bedroom. Other family all secretly loved this as it would upgrade the entire vacation's living space.

I just want to be awkwardly sincere and say that this genuinely made me smile. Because it's true, I know so many people (myself included) who look kinda loving goofy in pictures but when you actually are with them, you can't put your finger on why but they look perfect to you.

Kurieg posted:AITA for leaving my family vacation after they forced me and my pregnant wife to sleep in a bunk bed? Ignoring the AirBNB part, this is exactly how my wife has always been treated by her lovely family. If there's 3 good setups and 1 lovely one, you never have to wonder who is going to end up stuck with that one. I cannot describe the incandescent rage I feel every time she goes on a trip or something with them and then describes whatever subtle (or not so subtle) way she's getting screwed over. She's adopted but honestly I'm not convinced it's that, a big part of it is that we don't have kids I think.
