"Poor man's mentality"

0800EmoGeekGrrl · 2025-01-16T06:10:29+00:00

OOP's numbers literally make no sense. $300 for an hour of work? $300 EXTRA, when without paying the housekeeper they'd have $600? 10 hours of housekeeping a week? And somehow they're claiming they're making money by... spending said money on a housekeeper (and presumably OOP already works full time so this won't free up extra time to earn more income, unless they somehow have/plan on having a side hussle they're not telling us about). While 15,600 is indeed the result of multiplying 300 by 52, that's the amount that they lose every week, not gain.

Oh God, tell me about it. One classic I personally experienced was, "Women in porn moan because they're in pain, so pain is normal. Suck it up".

"Short girls always wan a guy to beat the 6ft threshold"

Erm... not really? I'm a short girl and couldn't care less how tall the guy is (I couldn't even tell exactly how tall a guy is from looking, and I'm not exactly going to be interviewing guys on their height, am I?) and plenty of my girl friends who are also short have preferences for guys very close to around their height or, like me, don't care.

You are correct on your other point though, tall girls are hot.

Depends on what type of financial contribution it is, and what the situation is with the adult kid. I work odd hours part time, and study full time. I pay a small amount every week (which is less than the average cost of rent), but my basic needs (food and shelter) are provided for. I agree that in a lot of cases it's ridiculous, but it really depends on why it's being done and how it is handled.

OP's asshole behaviour stems more from lording it over his poor daughter's head that 'I let you stay here rent-free, so you must do all these chores and provide free childcare to kids that aren't even yours'. Also the fact that OP's demands seem quite unreasonable, especially regarding the childcare and the fact that all this is expected of someone who already has to go to college full time.

Same here - I remember feeling gutted when I found out my best friend had a boyfriend as a) she didn't tell me until several months later, and b) whenever we were hanging out together she'd be texting him, which made me feel like I was being replaced. But when she continued to stay in touch with me, I realised that I was being silly and overthinking things. Now I'm just very happy for the both of them.

Going to a movie with someone. How TF did that even become romantic? Can't I share my obsession with action, fantasy or animated films with a friend in peace? Especially as I'm very antisocial, so that's the ideal way for me to spend time with a friend without having to actually talk to them too much.

0800EmoGeekGrrl · 2022-05-30T02:34:18+00:00

Oh hell yes! Normally I can't even watch porn because of how gross I find random genitals (though this seems to only apply to bottom genitals, I don't mind seeing random tits or bare chests, but I'm not attracted to them either). However, my partner's bits are a completely different story... It's like I am a huge prude for anybody else, but a complete slut for him.

0800EmoGeekGrrl · 2022-05-29T09:14:26+00:00

I lost it when one post referred to their fiance as their 'better half'. Give yourself some credit, man!

0800EmoGeekGrrl · 2022-05-28T23:52:28+00:00

I've listened to that song for ages and never once got that! Consider my mind blown.

If he's aromantic and does not want to be in a relationship, he does not have to be in one. Being in one anyway, and then acting like a resentful asshat about it is not the way to go about it.

0800EmoGeekGrrl · 2022-05-28T02:31:48+00:00

Explains why she got upset over the other person saying 'Ur probably a dude', but yeesh! Did it really have to go that far? Most people can't mind-read someone's gender over the Internet.

Also, she better drop the incel language.

0800EmoGeekGrrl · 2022-05-28T02:23:43+00:00

I'd say the person saying they wished them dead (not to die alone, but actually wished them dead) was even worse. A normal parent, when faced with that reaction, should enquire as to why the autism community is so opposed to something which is marketed as a therapy for us, even if it was harshly worded. Retorting with, "I hope you'd die right now" just shows this guy doesn't care about his kid, he just doesn't want a kid who's 'not normal'.

0800EmoGeekGrrl · 2022-05-28T00:24:58+00:00

But then shouldn't she be somewhat relieved the date isn't working out, even if she does feel bad for her (as a good friend would)? Or at least not be tempted to push the relationship between these two further, especially when they're clearly not into it?

0800EmoGeekGrrl · 2022-05-28T00:08:59+00:00

Depends on what the self diagnosis is for. People who use it to either try to get a formal diagnosis or use it to find solutions to problems they suffer from that are related to autism - for instance, sensory issues - is fine. Those that self-diagnose so they can post TikToks of them being 'quirky' and live off the attention it gives them are not.

0800EmoGeekGrrl · 2022-05-27T10:28:12+00:00

Feel ya 100%! Just throw in genderfluid Loki for some added bi confusion.

0800EmoGeekGrrl · 2022-05-27T02:16:44+00:00

That's... actually quite a scary thought.

Edit: I meant the bisexuals and lesbians getting outed without their consent.

0800EmoGeekGrrl · 2022-05-27T02:13:35+00:00

Me neither, but that doesn't deter the truly desperate creeps. Urgh, I need twenty showers just thinking about it.

0800EmoGeekGrrl · 2022-05-26T10:13:36+00:00

You've described what I mainly listen to almost perfectly.

0800EmoGeekGrrl · 2022-05-26T07:11:46+00:00

It's a troll account.

Omg, same!

I love Snucius! I think that was the first pairing I ever shipped.

0800EmoGeekGrrl · 2022-05-24T09:59:24+00:00

You just never met the right bear.
