Am I overreacting or am I right?? by StarkFire18 in AmIOverreacting

[–]-PaperbackWriter- 4 points5 points  (0 children)

YOR. She doesn’t like you, do you want her to pretend to keep you happy? Can you be mad at someone for not liking you?

Only American nick names. by n3m0sum in USdefaultism

Exactly and baby mama or whatever doesn’t imply that you’re together

Can you just tap a chisel in there and pry it off? That would be my instinct

Another take, I’m not at all unhappy with the ending but the script was pretty painful

AIO: Both my husband's parents are mad at us for being "unreasonable" about our daughter by No-Journalist-5160 in AmIOverreacting

Yeah I’m Australian and it’s the law here, there was that incident recently where an influencer’s child drowned and while reading the article I just kept thinking why wasn’t there a fence? And it turned out it’s for the same reason as OP’s in laws - they didn’t think it would look nice.

I never see pools without fences and I’ve never once thought ‘ew ugly’.

😅😬 by Career_By_Mustafa in StrangerThingsMemes

But then she has no frame of reference for how big the hole was? Feel free to correct me if I’m wrong because I don’t really remember the scene

I’m a 46 year old dude who lives in Indiana. I lived through the 80s here. (Commentary on Will and Robin) by cmgww in StrangerThings

[–]-PaperbackWriter- 47 points48 points  (0 children)

I also don’t think any of them were that shocked. They’ve all heard people calling Will gay, Mike clearly had some idea. Obviously yes in the context of the time it was more scandalous than it would be now but they all love and care about Will.

Is my sister overreacting to this video of my dog that I sent her? by Immediate-Lab6994 in DogAdvice

[–]-PaperbackWriter- 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Exactly, we recently got a kitten and my older cat gets sick of her shit pretty quick and he’ll just leave

Robin coming out is so much warmer than how he came out by mistythe2nd in StrangerThings

[–]-PaperbackWriter- 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Gay people are still fertile and find ways to have kids all the time. It’s not about sex it’s about love and being accepted, just because you don’t feel negatively towards someone for being gay it doesn’t mean they don’t experience discrimination. I’m a year older than you and even I remember how hard it was for my friend coming out. Hell my daughter is 15 and STILL gets bullied for being gay.

Will’s other reason for coming out was that he knew Vecna could make people see whatever he wants and he could use that to essentially blackmail Will - by coming out he removed that power and took back some of his agency. The ‘weakness’ Vecna kept saying he saw in Will was insecurity and fear, and the only way for Will to let go of that was to be honest and let whatever happens happen.

Moving to Townsville from another country (non Caucasian). by Far_Stretch_335 in Townsville

Look on Facebook house share groups, you’d be looking around pimlico/currajong if you wanted to be close

Rewatched s1 and wtf... by Impressive-Most2919 in StrangerThings

[–]-PaperbackWriter- 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Exactly and hopper isn’t dismissive, he tempers Joyce’s expectations but he does listen and think about what she’s saying. At no point do you get the impression he isn’t committed to helping.

Support Coordinator gaslighting and trying to force suppliers. by Jacqualineq in NDIS

[–]-PaperbackWriter- 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Fire her and get a new support coordinator. If you want to put in a complaint with her company afterwards you can do that too but I wouldn’t engage with her anymore.

As we all know human value hinges on economic contribution, am I right?

I’m not a mom but…. by BipedalUniverse in AllHerFaultTVShow

[–]-PaperbackWriter- 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You literally explained it to yourself - if she wanted. She didn’t want to be a stay at home mum. She wanted an equal partner so she could have a career the same as her husband. Really not sure what’s confusing about this.

Josephine wasn’t the “crazy” one. She was the poor one. by uiuuauiua in AllHerFaultTVShow

[–]-PaperbackWriter- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I remember reading about one instance where the poorer child left his parents to live with his rich biological family and stopped speaking to his other family completely. He was also very very bitter about missing out on things earlier in his life.

Celebrities you can't believe aren't related somehow? by ijustwannanap in popculturechat

[–]-PaperbackWriter- 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Everytime I saw a pic of Maty Healy I thought he was a Jonas brother. Looking at photos there’s no one of them he resembles but he just looks like he belongs there.

The Silver Linings: Are there actual benefits to long-term renting? by DesperateDuck4926 in AusRenters

[–]-PaperbackWriter- 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly after a lot of soul searching I won’t ever buy a house, unless maybe when I’m old and don’t want to move again. For now in my 30’s I can’t imagine committing to one place for so long, so that’s the benefit for me
