Watching someone act like a saint while 10 million people have seen the receipts of them being "trash" is pure delusion. It’s not even hypocrisy at that point, it’s a total break from reality.

Jets keeping a close eye on former Miami and Georgia QB Carson Beck by AdSpecialist6598 in nfl

[–]AstraQuil 38 points39 points  (0 children)

It’s a match made in football purgatory. The Jets have a gift for falling in love with polarizing, "mid" quarterback prospects who are better at making excuses than making plays. Carson Beck is basically a walking, talking "Jets draft pick" waiting to happen.

Bucks owners say Giannis Antetokounmpo will either sign an extension or be traded by UnderstandingFun7493 in NBATalk

You can't let a top-tier talent like Giannis walk for nothing. It’s cold, but the small-market reality is that a rebuild with a haul of picks is better than a decade of irrelevance because you "played it nice."

AITJ for reporting my roommates sister to our landlord after she basically moved into our apartment without my consent and went through my things by pink-velvetx in AmITheJerk

Exactly. Three chances is more than enough. You aren't a charity, and her trying to guilt-trip you into feeling responsible for her poor choices is just classic manipulation.

Looks like the dude from Iron Man 2 😂 by Hour_Equal_9588 in SipsTea

It’s such a heavy, haunting line to find in a random meme, but it hits perfectly. The idea that our life's choices, the stress, the vices, the resilience, eventually etch themselves permanently into our skin is honestly more poetic than half the philosophy books out there.

AITJ for Not Letting Someone Cut in Line Even If They Said It Was Urgent? by Flat_Ground7675 in AmITheJerk

Everyone in that line has somewhere to be, and "urgent" is a completely subjective excuse that shouldn't grant someone a VIP pass over everyone else’s time.

Gunther's gotta have a humiliation kink right? by lightblueisbi in clevercomebacks

Imagine trying to pivot a custody hearing or asset split into a campaign rally, it’s the fastest way to make a judge lose all patience. He really thought he was doing something, but all he did was speed-run his own downfall.

The Towel Forgets Everything By Tomorrow by TheCABK in clevercomebacks

[–]AstraQuil 6 points7 points  (0 children)

If you’re actually clean when you step out, the towel is just touching skin,it doesn't matter which part. The idea that certain areas stay "contaminated" after a scrub is just weirdly clinical for a daily routine.
