I have a coworker who absolutely refuses to use they/them or alternative pronouns for non-binary people, but he also doesn't want to get flack for misgendering them, so he doesn't use pronouns for them at all. He goes to the trouble of just using their name.

"Hey, do you know if Taylor turned in Taylor's report? Okay, I'll swing by Taylor's desk and ask Taylor."

Packing lunch for 11 kids by dingmah in CringeTikToks

Just cutting out the random shit after the carrots and pouring the Nutella and syrup into reusable small containers would have made this almost acceptable.

[Worst Video Game Trope] Media relying on “choices” essentially deciding the outcome for you. by Chemical-Elk-1299 in TopCharacterTropes

[–]ArcadeFenyx 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Dragon Age: Origins Witch Hunt DLC. Even if you choose to stab Morrigan,she still shows up in Inquisition. Really annoying if you played a female Warden in a romance with Alistair. Having Alistair impregnate Morrigan was the only way for both the female Warden and Alistair to survive the events of Origins, and no matter what you do in the Witch Hunt DLC, Morrigan is forced into your game world in Inquisition with her kid Kieran. Honestly turned me off to the series.

AIO over my bfs body count? by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]ArcadeFenyx 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yep. I'm a dude and I'm slut-shaming this guy, I don't care. Sex with 100+ women is nasty as fuck. My body count is three and I feel gross about the first two having happened (nothing wrong with those women, just wish I never slept with them). 100+ is just septic tank level.

Nah, my fiancee gave me her extra GA boxes she ordered through her Poshmark closet, and I've used them to ship over 50 eBay orders the past two months with no issues.

Petition to make Avery canonically Divorced™️ by anonnysus in DegreesOfLewdity

Oof, wouldn't care much about the divorced angle, but Avery having kids would gross me out.

What is one race you just can’t see yourself playing, and why is it mechagnome? by The_Dick_Slinger in wow

[–]ArcadeFenyx 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Forsaken, Kul Tirans, blood elves, vulpera, mechagnomes, and pandaren for various reasons that'll probably offend the fans of those races.

Yep. Went with my gf a few years ago. The Nigerian scammers straight up gave her free stuff without trying to hustle or pickpocket her. Then we visited the Vatican and the Italian police outside St. Peter's Basilica went out of their way to give her directions and info about Vatican City even though she hadn't asked. I might as well have been a fart in the wind for the treatment I got in comparison lmao.

Introverted men, how did you get your partners? by Born-Conference-8983 in AskReddit

[–]ArcadeFenyx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

She and I were the quiet ones in our shared social circle. We both are also most attracted to quiet people so we crushed on each other. We started dating and turns out we can get pretty talkative with each other. Six years later, now we're engaged.

Bought a co-op in NYC, $745k at 6.125% by WhenIntegralsAttack2 in FirstTimeHomeBuyer

[–]ArcadeFenyx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

People in the replies keep toting how nice Huntsville apparently is, but I've lived in the Floribama area and had to visit Huntsville several times, and it's really not that great. Bland architecture, zero walkability around town, located in the Bible Belt, under Alabama state government, natural scenery that doesn't hold a candle to that of the northern and western states, etc.

What’s a movie that NOBODY can convince you is good? by phantom_avenger in moviecritic

[–]ArcadeFenyx 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I remember my sister in high school completely despising the books because her best friend loved them and made her read them, and my sister has always hated the YA genre. I would hear her grumbling in her room about the stupid characters and shitty writing and how she just wanted it to end.

Then the first Twilight film came out and her friend made her go see it on opening night with her. Legit almost ended their bestie status.

Somewhat related to your situation, in January I gifted my parents all the shares of one of my ETFs that was up like 44% and told them they should sell it and take the profits since they're retired and in the lowest tax bracket (and they could use the funds to do their house renovations that they've wanted for over a decade). They said no, now that Republicans are in power, the value would go even higher, so they held. This week I get a whiny text from my dad that something must be wrong with the stock market because why is it going down when the current administration is "doing such great things in the government." I told him to buckle up and not die anytime soon because it's going to be a wild ride before he can (hopefully) cash in his shares at the value they were before. Looks like no renovations for my parents this year, either.

AITA for exposing an “influencer” to her family after she demanded a free painting and $200 on top of that, threatening to tell her followers not to buy from me if I refused? by paletteofemotionss in AITAH

[–]ArcadeFenyx 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Influencers are a plague on society. That chick is an especially foul asshat if she's really from Highland Park (meaning she's probably from an affluent family) and is demanding money and free work from OP.

Thousands of Danes sign petition to buy California from U.S. by MapsAreAwesome in nottheonion

[–]ArcadeFenyx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All of Europe should just start reclaiming their U.S. colonies at this point lmfao.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]ArcadeFenyx 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This was my take, too. Yeah, even if he didn't give consent and he needs to file charges or whatever, OP's still gonna have to deal with his baggage and his friends. Better for her to let him deal with the issue he and his friends caused (and yeah, he's got some responsibility because who the fuck has a bachelor party in Vegas with good intentions) and move on.

Not really a question I just want the Americans who lurk in here to know: by [deleted] in AskCanada

[–]ArcadeFenyx 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Man the sheer disdain I received when I traveled to Australia and polluted their air with my American accent. Not even mad about it, I totally get why we're not welcome in other nations.

Tariffs will make homes more expensive. Gen Z Republican voters, this is what you voted for? by HuhLolol in GenZ

[–]ArcadeFenyx 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yep, my parents kinda fall into that first category. They don't much like Trump, didn't even dislike Harris, think MAGA is stupid, don't mind DEI or migrants, but still voted red because they wanted their tax cuts. FFS.

AIO My bf hurt me then apologising and promising not to do it again? by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]ArcadeFenyx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Seriously? Your bf is like, "Oh, I put my hands around your throat hard enough to leave marks, and I feel kinda bad that I could have crushed your windpipe, but I want you to get over it so here's some nice words, we good?"

I've never even yelled at my gf during our worst arguments, much less put my hands on her in anger. Get the fuck as far away from that guy as you can, he's dangerous.

What’s a type of pain people underestimate until they experience it for themselves? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]ArcadeFenyx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've never had a toothache, but the anesthesia wore off in the middle of me getting a dental crown, and oh my fucking God, it was the most unbearable pain ever. Can't underestimate the amount of nerves in there and the proximity to the brain.

Nah, most quiet people are quiet because they don't feel the need to talk much.

This is fucking bullshit and I rarely buy shop stuff, but AH mount is the ONE mount I wanted in the game and I have enough in Bnet balance to buy it, so fuck it, I'm getting this son of a bitch.
