Good News Thread!

[(Anonymous)]

My nephew was born this afternoon!

What good news have y'all got to share?

Re: Good News Thread!

[(Anonymous)]

Congratulations! :D

Re: Good News Thread!

[philstar22]

Congrats!

I bought a really cool dragon on Flightrising. Does that count?

Also, my kitty licked me this morning, and she never does that.

Sometimes it is the little things.

Finally, the Democrats have retaken the House. And, while I'm terrified about who Trump will replace him with, Jeff Sessions being gone is still a good thing because he was really terrible and outright evil.

Yay :D

Aw, congratulations, nonny!

I went to a concert on Monday and got some really great videos. I've been sharing them with my friends and they've all been very patient with me as I talk their ears off about how good the show was.

This is way more selfish than your awesome news, but I’m going to Comic Con. Also the Democrats retook the House, phew!

Re: Good News Thread!

[sarillia]

Congratulations!

As for me, the store manager complimented me while introducing me to a new employee. It's nice to know I'm appreciated.

Re: Good News Thread!

[rosehiptea]

Congratulations!

I'm going to work overtime on Thanksgiving. That is good news because I volunteered to do it and it will be nice to have the money. (Also it's a nursing home so it's not like they have the option to be closed.)

Re: Good News Thread!

[syncing_feeling]

Aww, congratulations to you! Has he got a name?

My week's been kind of crummy so my best news is that I'm knitting a scarf for my partner's mum for Christmas and it's looking so much better than my last knitting attempt.

What do people get wrong about where you live?

[(Anonymous)]

In fictional settings, especially.

Just that Texas is not one, unified thing. Actually, many of the cities are extremely liberal. It is the rural areas that fit more into the stereotypes.

That there's only corn and cows. We have a Walmart too.

I've never seen it, but apparently the episode of NCIS set in my city includes shots of palm trees despite there not being any palm trees in the whole state.

[kaijinscendre]

Oklahoma is worse than you think it is. And small towns are not charming. They suck.

Re: What do people get wrong about where you live?

[morieris]

There's a lot of dislike toward Tampa for reasons I don't understand. I've never gone but it's better than the Panhandle.

Apparently Germans don't know what humor is, when I believe the media from other countries (movies, tv shows, late night shows, stand up comedy).

Also the language, but I guess almost every foreign language gets butchered in other countries, so I'm usually fine unless they make it sound distinctly Hitler-holding-speeches-like.

Re: What do people get wrong about where you live?

[greghousesgf]

no, goddamnit, Oakland is not one big ghetto.
Also, everything in California is not one fifteen minute drive away from everything else in the state.

Re: What do people get wrong about where you live?

Australia is not as dangerous as people think it is. Just read the warning signs, don't poke the bitey things with sticks, and don't wander off without a plan and a person who knows that plan so they know where to start looking if it goes wrong.

Re: What do people get wrong about where you live?

[thezmage]

I don’t live there anymore, but I had to stop reading a book once which contained the line “everybody in Seattle carries an umbrella with them all the time,” which is such a bald-faced lie that I doubt the writer ever visited Seattle.

Re: What do people get wrong about where you live?

Well, Missouri is *not* the deep south, even though we have our share of hillbillies and rednecks. St. Louis is *not* a huge hive of crime, not even East St. Louis. KCMO, however, is pretty fucking awful.

Also, despite poor performance in the actual elections, a lot of Missourians are pretty liberal. Not *enough*, but some.

Vent thread

[syncing_feeling]

I got shouted at by a woman at work today for calling her "love." And I mean proper, angry, HOW DARE YOU shouting. Keep in mind I live in Cornwall where phrases like "love, darling, me lover, me handsome" are so commonplace down here you can't go a day without hearing them. It's just part of friendly conversation here.

She then launched into a rant about how it's demeaning/sexist/patronising, attitudes need to change, and (this got me the worst) "If you'd ever been subjected to sexual harrassment, then you wouldn't talk to women like that."

I had to bite my tongue to stop from saying "I've had plenty of that, and physical assault, actually, thanks." I wouldn't have minded if she'd just said "I don't like being called love/darling/etc, can you not please," that would have been perfectly fine, but she went straight for verbally destroying me. I wasn't a drunken creep shouting at her in the street, I was a girl trying to make friendly talk with another girl while I served her. Now I feel like the worst person ever for making her feel uncomfortable. I didn't know.

Have you ever quit a job?

Why?

I think I'm drunk

[philstar22]

I think I'm drunk. Never been drunk before. But for the first time in a while I'm feeling no pain. It is nice. Going to regret tomorrow. But don't care.
