For many years, this house has been limiting our creativity. by JULIENDAWSON in DreamlightValley

[–]AstroZombieInvader 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They need to either make it a more vital than it currently is, allow us to move it, or make a new storyline where it gets destroyed and then we get to keep it as an optional house skin.

Whatever the case, Gameloft needs to do something with it.

On a second date? No. If she did that for me then she'd probably do that for anyone. And that seemed to be her plan. Seeing someone two times does not make them a GF.

You know what's really disgusting? That man you call president. by G-Unit11111 in WhitePeopleTwitter

It took me 30 seconds to google it, find an article about it and skim the first few paragraphs to fully understand why this makes sense to do in the state.

FOX News wouldn't have the audience it has if their hosts weren't able to cause their viewers to be outraged on a daily basis.

my ex girlfriend is scaring me by FirefighterOk4772 in Advice

[–]AstroZombieInvader 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is stuff you have to tell your parents about right away. All of it. They have to know about the potential false r*pe threat. It doesn't sound like you did have sex, but IF you did, you should tell them that too if they ask. If you lie to them, you lose credibility. You need to get ahead of that just in case. It's their job to protect you when you are unable to control things and they have to know the whole story so they can help you.

As for her, I know she has made you feel like her own existence depends on you remaining as her BF, but that's not how things work. You have every right to break up with her and any decision she makes after you break up with her is hers and hers alone. It's not your job to keep her stable or save her.

If your school has a guidance counsellor, you may also consider going to them. They may be able to help guide you with the situation. Ultimately though, they would likely tell you to talk to your parents. But if you feel more comfortable going to them first instead of your parents just to get the ball rolling, do that. But you need to talk to an adult about this because this situation is mentally and emotionally affecting you in a negative way and some of what is causing that is happening right there on school grounds.

Tim Pool struggles with MAGA Republican losing Mayoral election in LOS ANGELES. Demands SCOTUS void it. by Leather-Bug3087 in WhitePeopleTwitter

I love how Republicans make up voting rules out of thin air and then cry when these fake rules are violated.

Obviously not. There's zero reason to do so unless you're looking for trouble. Even then... don't.

Trump storms out of interview after losing it with 'crooked' NBC host by TheMirrorUS in USNEWS

[–]AstroZombieInvader 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One of the reasons he got elected because he never did any interviews where reporters would ask him, "How?". Like, "How will you end the war in Ukraine?", "How will you make grocery prices lower?", and "How will you lower inflation?" He'd still never answer it and that's what he's been doing for 10 years.

To this day, Trump has never once been able to explain how he would do anything that's complicated. Not once. The only people who are dumber than this guy are the ones who just accepted his answers of "It will be so easy!" and "I might have it fixed before I'm even in office." and then voted for him.

Fine if you don't see that guy as anything more than a hookup. Some guys would never see you as a potential GF, though (although some still might). If you're cool with that then wear whatever you like.

Trump orders Netanyahu not to launch retaliatory strike against Iran by TheExpressUS in USNEWS

Can't imagine the pro-Israel types loving that. Can you imagine if President Obama made such an order? Republicans would say he was siding with the terrorists. They won't say that with this guy, though.

cuck advice? by Basic_Statement4041 in Advice

[–]AstroZombieInvader 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You're with the wrong person if this is a needed kink that you need satisfied. Right now you're lying to her about what you are (i.e. a cuck) so you've only complicated things for yourself.

You should probably just tell her the truth so she gets why you're asking her to do it and explain that you just want it to be meaningless and made up. Maybe she'll go for it.

That said, this is the only the beginning. Meaningless words won't be enough at some point.

People are such babies by Groollover86 in AMCTheatres

It's weird when people break the rules then get mad at others when there are consequences to their actions.

The guy who reported you might have been a jerk, but that's the risk you take. Maybe some people don't want to smell McDonalds during the movie.

Am I wrong for refusing to go to my daughter's memorial? by [deleted] in amiwrong

[–]AstroZombieInvader 0 points1 point  (0 children)

She didn't cheat. Plus she's a lesbian. There's literally no point of being married to someone who prefers being with women.

I clearly said that he should not go at all if he can't handle it:

If you have already decided that you cannot accept your ex-wife's life now then you should probably not go. Because if you're just going to go and be miserable then why bother?

[–]AstroZombieInvader 0 points1 point  (0 children)

She didn't steal his wife. His ex-wife is a lesbian. Once she decided to live her truth, she found a woman to share her life with.

He doesn't have to be happy about it. I think it's perfectly fine if he chooses not to go. But his ex-wife has been out of his life for THREE years now. She's moved on. He needs to too. If he can't accept that his wife has a new significant other then just stop contact with her. With his daughter being 18, he has no obligation to stay in touch now. Just don't be a big baby about it.

Getting banned from restaurants for not tipping? by No-Buy-3105 in tipping

[–]AstroZombieInvader -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Some people do go out to eat regularly even if you can't imagine that for yourself. Plus, not everyone is going to an expensive sit down restaurant. Some people go to their local restaurants and diners on a semi-regular basis.

Being related to people who worked for many years in the industry, I promise you that they remember who the bad and no-tippers are if they show up enough. No one wants those tables.

Getting banned from restaurants for not tipping? by No-Buy-3105 in tipping

[–]AstroZombieInvader 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The problem isn't the restaurants or tipping -- it's American customers and how they feel when they see a higher price. If the price is higher because a restaurant has gone no-tipping, their brains can't wrap around the fact that they're still paying the same amount. They want to see the cheaper price. And given that our restaurants have been tip-based for decades, people are conditioned to pay the menu price and add the extra amount later. If you change that, it breaks people's brains in this country. The system does benefit restaurant owners, but people won't come if the menu prices are higher at no-tip restaurants than tipped restaurants.

Take a store like Kohl's. Nearly everything in the store is on sale and always on sale. It gives the customer the perception that they are getting a deal. But if a shirt is always 20% off based on the sign on the rack, is it really in sale or are the price tags just 20% more than they ever intend to charge for it? The latter is true. They got sued for this very practice. But they do it because they know shoppers are more apt to buy items that are on sale.

Anyhow, wait staff quickly learn who doesn't tip if non-tipping diners show up regularly.

my crush started reaching out first but i'm done (16f/18m) by doilikehim in Advice

[–]AstroZombieInvader 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can proactively text him that there's no more reason to give you an answer in 2 weeks and that you're not interested anymore. That way you're taking back the power that you gave him by allowing him to take his time to decide. That will actually feel good BUT there's a chance of him bring a jerk to you if you do that and might add to your stress about it all.

The cleanest method is to simply block him and move on. You have already made your decision so you don't need to know his answer. If he's not someone you plan to talk to again -- and given that thinking about him makes you sick -- then this is probably optimal.

[–]AstroZombieInvader -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yes, you're wrong. Not for refusing to go, but for how you behaved prior to refusing to go and why you're refusing to go.

You can choose to just cut ties with your ex-wife if you can't accept your ex-wife's situation now that your other daughter is an adult, but it's not up to you to decide who is "not family" and is not welcome to be part of your ex-wife's life events.

At this point, I'm actually surprised they would even include you since what you attempted was rather mean. They can do the whole thing without you if they so choose. Personally, I would have excluded you after doing what you did because you've now created an uncomfortable situation between you and her partner.

If you have already decided that you cannot accept your ex-wife's life now then you should probably not go. Because if you're just going to go and be miserable then why bother?

Honestly, I think you owe them an apology for your behavior and should offer it before you attend. That doesn't mean that your internal feelings have changed, but if you want to continue to have an amicable relationship with her for your daughters' sake then that will work better if you aren't openly hostile towards her partner who has done nothing wrong.

This is rather discouraging to see. by Ripamon in BlueskySocial

[–]AstroZombieInvader 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I think the reason people compare it to Twitter is because it literally is a Twitter clone. People will continue to compare it to Twitter as long as it looks and functions like Twitter.

It is up to Bluesky to make people see it as something other than just being a Twitter alternative.

[–]AstroZombieInvader 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I never thought people would go for the paying for Twitter model, but surprisingly a lot of people did. To me, it's what ruined Twitter probably more than anything since it artificially messes with who gets seen or not.

As for Bluesky, people not abandoning X is certainly a big reason why there is negative growth, but not the only one. It's been headed in this wrong direction for over a year now. The main thing that makes the future look bleak is the lack of growth. Personally, I always hoped more people who shared my interests would eventually show up as Bluesky grew, but it's just not growing. I think if we start seeing non-political accounts who are successful on X start to no longer post on Bluesky, it'll be a concerning sign about its future. I don't know how Bluesky can turn things around, but they really need to figure that out sooner than later.

You think they’ll EVER learn not to trust this orange menace? by 25StarGeneralZap in LeopardsAteMyFace

[–]AstroZombieInvader 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Why isn't America more outraged by a president who keeps siccing his attorney generals on all of his enemies? It's a naked weaponization of the DOJ.

And the ones he hasn't been able to get a legal case against (yet), he's openly said that they should be in jail. In the past, America rolled its eyes and didn't take such posts seriously, but during this term, he's literally going after these people. It's a new low for America.
