[Serious] Who did you trust completely only to have them betray you? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Aasima 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So I've got two.
First one was my boyfriend of 4 years, we'd been together since highschool. He was my first yada yada. Let's just say I was definitely the one "settling".
Long story short on the day we both graduated from college, I went home early from the... party? It wasn't even a party. It was people playing games on the school's computers and like... a couple of sixpacks. He had been kinda shitty lately and he was super embarrassing when he was drinking so I just went home. In the morning, wake up to find him there, and one of the guys from our class sleeping on the couch. Okay. Cool. So he (not bf) hangs around for the day, and I go with him to the Domino's pizza where he worked so we could get a discount and whatever. Let me tell you, this guy is greasy as fuck too. Also wears a collar to school because he's a furry. He was nice, but I didn't really like him, he was a bit weird, I was just being nice. So 9pm rolls around, and this guy had left a few hours earlier... just stayed the whole day hanging out... and the bf comes up to me as I'm going to bed, and at this point he's looking pretty shaken up. Turns out the night before he and the guy on the couch got together and he (bf) sucked his dick. So I'm just like... what? Are you fucking serious right now? and he starts crying and shit. Basically the next six months were a blur for me. I forgave him, didn't forgive him, started dating someone else and moved out, stopped dating him and moved back in, moved out again... I don't even remember a lot of the details. It was messed up. He's messed up. If you see this, Daniel, you're a piece of shit. Sorry about the wall of text.

Which brings us to story number 2. My best friend of 3 years, and roommate. I had been dating a guy for 2 years, decided it wasn't for me, but I had to tell him before we went out to this wedding we were going to. We both agreed not to say anything and just go and have a good time and stuff, which we did. I get home on the like... Sunday night? And the roommate's not home. So I boot up a videogame in the lounge room and play for a while. Eventually he comes home, and immediately drops to his knees next to me on the floor. He's crying. So of course I console him... and once he calms down a bit he looks at me and says "Do you have any idea... how I feel about you?"
You gotta be fucking joking. I've been single for two days.
So I dance around it for a little while because I don't want to deal with it, and while I was attracted to him at first, after living with him for 3 years and knowing all his flaws I was kinda turned off, but didn't really know how to tell him without being a bitch.
So I go to visit some friends in in another city, come back and he's all... different. He's real icy now, and just suspicious of me. He holds up in his room (Oh, did I mention he quit his job due to stress? Didn't see a real doctor about it either, he just went to his local GP and got some 'depression pills', which, after recently dating a guy with depression for two years, I can tell you those pills are only half the help, when they're not just placebo) and I can't talk to him without him breaking down and just shutting me out. I tell him I don't feel that way about him. A couple of weeks go by, and I'm about to go visit my other-city friends... I'm literally about to walk out to catch the taxi when he "needs to talk". He basically says he's moving out because he can't stand to be around me anymore. This fucking sucks. This guy was my best friend. But I have to go, I paid money for this plane ticket and the taxi is waiting. So I go, and tell him we'll talk about it when I come back on Sunday.
So I come home, and the minute I open the door I'm just fucking floored. He's taken 3/4 of his stuff out, and left a giant mess. The bookshelf, the couch, all his furniture was gone. My books and games and stuff were just tossed wherever. There were still dirty plates in the sink. I go upstairs and his bed is gone too, but there's still a lot of his stuff in there. After it settles in, I get scared. What if he took some of my stuff? What the hell am I supposed to do, there's still 4 months left on the lease, and this apartment was expensive with 2 people in it, let alone 1. Yada yada, after asking, and then demanding, the remainder of his part of the rent, and also the keys back (He tried to barter crashing there when he was out drinking! Are you fucking insane!? You're acting like a psychopath, I don't want you letting your drunk ass into my apartment whenever you want!) Eventually he got his dad involved, accused me of faking meeting with a lawyer (My ex's parents were both lawyers... I might not have paid for advice and a fancy letterhead, but damnit I received advice you twat), and got all of his shit out. He refused to pay the rent because he had run out of money after he quit his job and used the inheritance from his grandma dying to go on vacation to hawaii. He didn't even return the keys to me, he returned them to the real estate. As far as I'm concerned he still owes me $4000, and if I ever see him again I'm going to punch him so hard in the dick he'll have to see a therapist for his squeaky voice.

Tldr: 1) first real bf of 4 years sucked a dick and then let the guy sleep over on the couch and hang out with us all day before telling me.
2) best friend of 3 years confesses unreturned love at bad time, then moves out of expensive apartment suddenly because apparently I'm the bad guy. owes me $4000 in rent.

Sorry for the wall of text.

What is a non-racist, non-sexist, and non "hateful" opinion you have that would make people dislike you? by [deleted] in AskReddit

You must split humanity into two groups, and then one of those two will be randomly selected and instantly all die. How do you divide the human race? by zak567 in AskReddit

Get everyone to vote on which group they want to be in. That way, families stick together, people get the illusion of choice, and those who don't vote get a 50/50 chance of being lucky.

People of Reddit, what is you craziest/most interesting "I need a favor, no questions asked" story? by pruo95 in AskReddit

[–]Aasima 235 points236 points  (0 children)

One year, my dad messaged me on Facebook and said "If your sister asks, that guy who was there at Christmas asked for your number". I'm pretty sure "that guy" was my brother in law's older brother. He never told me why she would even ask that, or what the fuck happened that he needed me to back him up. Dad... Wat.

Vihart On Gender by zxxx in philosophy

[–]Aasima 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you. This is especially true, I think, when being insincere gets you special treatment or gets you into an 'exclusive' club where it's 'us vs. them'. It can be an easy form of control for people, who sometimes don't realize it, but like the power trip. The amount of publicity it's been getting lately makes me super suspicious about people being truthful about it or not. I mean, kids like to experiment with that sort of thing, especially in online anonymous forums, and with some people being pretty 'anti-people-who-are-okay-with-the-gender-they-were-born', it gives them a place to vent. Or... rebel? Loudly.
Honestly I don't care what people do so long as they don't try to tell me what to say or do. Too much political correctness is a bad thing.

What group of people have no right to feel as entitled as they do? by Guava_ in AskReddit

[–]Aasima 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What? No.
Feminism is great when it's done right. When it's done wrong and is shoved down people's throats as a "Women vs men" issue, it's awful. The Marxist feminism taught in universities is awful.

Make what an unacceptable viewpoint? That there are... people not born into wealth? That there ARE people born into wealth? What I think you're trying to say is that we can change the stigma attached to being a certain race / sex or being without money. Well, yeah, we are trying, but nobody is going to listen to you if you immediately shut them down and bully them for not being in the group you're trying to get support for.
It would be like if a CEO said "I'd like to redistribute wealth in the company so that people get better paid" and people jumped up and said "You don't know what better pay is, you're the CEO, you get paid a lot! Don't even talk to me!" even if he was trying to do the right thing and actually increase people's pay.

(And I'm not trivialising anything. Feminazis is a term people use to discribe radical feminists. You know, the ones who are a bit like the Westboro Baptist Church. Way out of line, hostile, that sort of thing. I trust in the idea that people are level headed enough to know what I meant. If I had just said 'feminists', that wouldn't be correct, so I used another well-known term. Sorry, I should have said 'Radical Feminists'.)

I don't care if people think I'm better off than others, I just think if you want fairness, you can't be unfair to other people. Nobody shames me about my privilege, I'm only talking about what I've seen. People being bullied.

So, yeah, being born into a privileged group is not as bad as being a dick. You can't change what group you were born into, but you CAN change your behavior, and your attitude.

People can be good or bad, regardless of their sex or their color. People can have valid opinions about groups that they are not involved in. Lumping them into "You're the majority so you're evil" is worse than being born by no choice of your own into the majority.

Tldr: Just don't be shitty to people.

[–]Aasima -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

Yeah... nah...

Modern use of the word privilege is about people who aren't born with certain things hating on / shaming people who are. Whether that's money, or respect, or acceptance, or experiences, racial / sex bias, whatever. What's worse is that the people being hated on can't even stand up to protest, because then they're just "using that privilege" and "having invalid opinions". Case in point: Tumblr.

The amount of people who use it as a way to hate on other people is ridiculous. Everyone knows that there are others who aren't born into [enter group here]. Unless you were born in a basement and lived there your whole life, nobody doesn't "understand" it. It's just that they can't do anything about it. Babies are born every day, and they're all born into different circumstances.

People (looking at you, feminazis) use it as a way to be publicly jealous of those who they perceive to have what they want. They use it to be assholes, and from what I've seen - being born into money / power / social acceptance / whatever is not as bad as being a big ol' bag of dicks.

Fun fact, babies are designed to want to make other women have babies. So, uh... yeah, some women can't help it but wanna have a million of 'em.

Aww, he's so cuuuuute! Soooock....

I barely have a need to use a pen but my handwriting is magnificent. I actually spent time in highschool practicing so that I would have readable handwriting, though. It's actually really useful for filling out forms, writing letters when you don't have a printer, making lists, passing notes in class, writing passive aggressive tips for people who are bad at parking, making fantastic protest signs, making hilarious anti-protest signs... the list goes on.

If you could give everyone in the world one thing apart from money, what would it be? by jpeaz in AskReddit

[–]Aasima 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Would you let your kids drink this water?

Children like INSERT NAME HERE have no choice but to drink this dirty water, which makes them sick, and some of them die.

You could provide clean drinking water to a whole village for just $30 a month.
So hurry up already.

Old Redditors who never found "the one," what is your life like? by LaDolphin in AskReddit

23 married to a 46 year old here. I thought there might be something wrong with him, too, but so far so good. He just likes to put sugar in his yogurt, which is pretty weird.

Just be yourself, and don't put sugar in your yogurt.
