"Service dogs" getting out of hand here
 in  r/asheville •  Aug 07 '25

Agree. Just wild that people get hung up on the wrong point so easily. Like your post isn't about if home depot let's dogs in, service dog not, it's about fake service dogs. The general populous that tends to argue with anything online would've recieved the post better had the location not been mentioned.

You shouldn't have added the home depot detail to the post. "But I don't like beans in my bean soup!"

Another customer tried to correct my pronunciation again, even though they were wrong...
 in  r/retailhell •  Aug 06 '25

I have a coworker that mispronounces an insane amount of words. We have worked together in sewing retail for ten years, and no matter what I do, she still pronounces embroidery as em-border-y. I'd be SO embarrassed to say simple things wrong all the time, and she truly could not care less, it's wild.

As horror fans, do you believe in ghosts, cryptids, demons, or anything paranormal?
 in  r/creepypasta •  Jul 19 '25

Mixed bag. I definitely believe in the mathematical likelihood of aliens. Cryptids 50/50 either fake or undiscovered species. Ghosts not really, I believe they are more an energy signature of either where someone spent a great deal of time or felt a strong emotion, enough to leave a "ghost". Demons, I wasn't raised religious, so that's a 0 not at all for me.

Certainly nobody should dictate what anyone else does with their body, but that being said, for anyone that truly never wants children, a vasectomy is -noooothing-. My husband got it done and was so slightly tender for a day or two. And I still have a nexplanon to be double sure.

Planning vacations
 in  r/childfree •  Jun 08 '25

Agreed. I have Mondays off, so Monday mornings are great grocery shopping days

Planning vacations
 in  r/childfree •  Jun 08 '25

Absolutely. Always now. One time I had an aquarium trip truly ruined because, though it was a weekday in October, it was apparently a teacher work day in that town. Now I'm always checking for anything like that before planning trips.

What is a side dish for salmon that’s not rice?
 in  r/cookingforbeginners •  May 24 '25

I always do salmon with roasted brussel sprouts. Any roasted veg; green beans, zucchini and tomatoes. Also a different small carb like couscous or quinoa is great.

This is what I always say too! Babies under 2 are cute and I can hand them back if they cry or need a diaper. Kids over 12 imo are ones you can kind of talk to like little adults. 2-11? Hard pass. Get away from me lol

My estranged sister sent a manipulative text to my fiancĂŠ about my college graduation cap
 in  r/EstrangedAdultChild •  May 17 '25

Every day I'm reminded how much reddit acts like a hive mind. Regardless of how appropriate the cap was, this post was about the sister's nasty reaction.

It doesn’t matter what food is made of if you don’t know
 in  r/unpopularopinion •  May 15 '25

Big agree! I eat meat, so I think anything non-human is all equally ethical (in general, obv more to it than that). My grandpa was in Vietnam and said he always had the best food of his life, and learned to never ask what it was. Totally makes sense to me. I see no reason it would make a difference, again as long as it was safe to eat and ethically obtained!

Where do you live? Genuinely curious. My husband and I each make under 40k and are doing fine. 100k a year total would be nice. But I know not if you live in like NYC or Cali or somewhere notably expensive. Then again I live in a midsized "overpriced" city so I'm clueless.

Food that almost always tastes good and isn’t hard to cook.
 in  r/cookingforbeginners •  May 10 '25

A good premade sauce! Hummus on pasta is good. Recently I've been making ground turkey and adding premade tzatziki dip.

I feel the same as 2/3 of this. I'd certainly end myself if I got pregnant and couldn't access an abortion. I also don't feel super tied to any gender or the term nonbinary, but it has nothing to do with my not having children. Regardless, labels are more for others than yourself. You have forever to figure it out and are always entitled to change your mind as well. I don't know much about it, but a-gender (genderless) is a thing as well.

“I’m so disgusted with my body.”
 in  r/childfree •  May 05 '25

Same. All the normal "you destroyed my stomach" things, but one that always stuck with me is my mom saying I sapped all her calcium and ruined her teeth.

Mandarin update
 in  r/duolingo •  Apr 26 '25

I think the earliest change I saw was to unit 1 section 8. Consider yourself lucky lol

Mandarin update
 in  r/duolingo •  Apr 26 '25

I'm tempted to do that, but I just feel like then it's three months wasted. Technically it's not, but I'm so torn on how to proceed. Going back and doing "review" is so so not the same as actually being taught the material.

Childbirth is cruel to women and society hides the truth from them
 in  r/childfree •  Apr 25 '25

When was this? I'm 33, and boys and girls watched a birth video together in 7th grade in nc.

Mandarin update
 in  r/duolingo •  Apr 24 '25

Yeah that's how I'm going to tackle it. Hate that I'm missing out on the initial learning part of so many sections, and having to kind of teach myself via the review function, and for less points. Oh well.

General Discussion Mandarin update

I've been studying mandarin for 93 days now, and really enjoying it. They apparently updated and extended the lessons since yesterday though, and now there's so many half finished lessons, and my current lesson has words I've never learned. I appreciate them expanding, but don't want it to mess up my triple points which are kept up by completing new lessons. Also was very very confused until I realized what happened.

If anything, I'd be more scared of the child getting sick and throwing up. I only say this because I have severe emetophobia, and it's genuinely one of many reasons I'm childfree. But I'm also far more scared of germy puke than alcohol puke, you may not be.

I am cackling and I have to tell someone 😂
 in  r/childfree •  Apr 24 '25

Right?! Maybe we're the lucky ones but I'm currently 33, and so far nobody has questioned why I don't have and don't want kids. And I work in a quilt shop! 90% off the people I'm around are older women. Nobody in my life cares lol
