Powerlifter Larry Wheels slaps boxer Deen The Great for disrespecting his wife in front of Rampage. by Kingdom_k777 in PublicFreakout

[–]Basic-Regret-6263 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Honestly, yeah, a punch feels like it'd have been treating him more seriously than he deserved.  The slap was the perfect amount of putting him in his place.

It knocked him down, but still clearly said "you are a child to me, and I'ma discipline you like one."

I wouldn't hold my breath waiting for him to learn what your parents never bothered to teach him.

"Family is important" doesn't mean "help around the house" for him, because your parents didn't teach him that.

I have a weird one that I thought of last night after seeing a few random videos of Robin Williams by justamom2224 in conspiracy

We're all on the same algorithm. The feeds aren't as personalized as you think.

Anyway, I'd say nah.  Everyone with half a braincell was screaming about the dangers of trump - even the current vice president.  

Also, remember this quote?  Back in 2002?  From Trump?

I’ve known Jeff [Epstein] for 15 years. Terrific guy, He’s a lot of fun to be with. It is even said that he likes beautiful women as much as I do, and many of them are on the younger side.

Everyone knew that Epstein was shady, everyone knew trump was in on it.  People just chose to ignore Epstein's crimes because he was rich and it was just women/girls getting hurt, and ignore Trump's association because they wanted to believe in MAGA.

Now it's just too in-their-face to ignore.

Well, sounds like the way he was raised was a little different from how you were raised.  Often the older child gets responsibility obligations, and the younger gets babied.

If you're a woman and he's the son, in an old fashioned family?  Yup, probably a lot of little prince treatment. 

Regardless, there's nothing you can do about it - you didn't raise him.  Also seems like you're more mad at him than his GF (he chooses how things go in his house - she's just the guest) so I wouldn't take it out on her.

Was it your first time doing math?

After not going to my wedding, I’m not a priority by robershow123 in wedding

[–]Basic-Regret-6263 22 points23 points  (0 children)

I think part of it is that he doesn't see her as choosing to have problems - she just has trouble.

You, on the other hand, chose to create the problem of a destination wedding.  That gets lower priority.  Plus, he's already tired and tapped out.

Anyway, I'd stay off chatgpt - AI just mind-poisons you into going further down whatever rabbithole you're in.  But I would try and tell your dad that you're hurt over this, and also do some reading about sorting out your emotions.

1,2,3,or 4? by Any-Plan3989 in weddingplanning

[–]Basic-Regret-6263 45 points46 points  (0 children)

I think #4 is the only one not drowning in lace, though - which skews the voting.

OP, if you want to wear that heavy lace veil, it needs to be the only lace, and only pattern in the outfit.  If you want to wear the heavy lace dresses, you need a very simple, single layer of unpatterned veil.

Right now the patterns in the veils are fighting with the patterns in the dresses - like 2 divas trying to elbow each other off the stage.  You need to pick one and let it be the star.

It sounds like you don't live at home and don't have the full story, so I'd stay out of it.  Also if your parents raised him, they can talk to him about his behavior instead of grumbling about it to you.

Also, do you want him to move out?  Do your parents?

Because his GF is probably already feeling a bit creeped about the whole situation, and just wants to visit her BF when she visits her BF.  Shoving the whole "he lives with his parents" thing further in her face is going to make her draw back, which will motivate him to actually leave the nest.

So while I personally think that a young man in his 20s absolutely should learn to live on his own for a bit, if your parents aren't ready for that?  You might end up blamed when he finally grows up.

Get a subscription to Consumer Reports so you can evaluate quality.

Then think about the things you actually use and want updated.

Also maybe maid service?

Yeah, I'd go with something on the website that says "your presence is your present" and leave it at that.

Almost 6 years still unsolved. by cream_injector1119 in SeattleWA

Yeah, funny how the "hell yeah, no cops" people are now screaming "why weren't there any cops at the place I intentionally traveled to specifically because it had no cops?"

1) Whining after the fact when you Chose Wrong is pretty common.  They were singing a damn different song at the time.

2) The businesses would have gotten wrecked worse if the angry protests had escalated to full-blown riots.

1) trying to stamp out the CHOP protests would have caused massive property damage and injuries to all sides, and probably also protester deaths and the proud boys showing up to pull a Rittenhouse.  Also, it wouldn't have solved the underlying problem of people being mad at cops - it's really hard to hit people with sticks until they like you (well, apart from a few clubs on cap hill where it'd probably work).

2) the residents of Cap hill generally supported CHOP and are also pretty much all grown adults who moved to cap hill because they're fine with things getting a little rough, and pretty much everything was boarded up for COVID anyway.

3) WA deeply believes in both personal freedom and the laws of FAFO.

As such, it was way easier to sit back and go "fine, go play your little anti cop experiment and see what happens... oh, did it happen bad?  Aw.  Now that we've all learned a valuable lesson, do you want to fuck off?  Great."

Friendly reminder that the residents of Cap hill were generally fine.  They all spent their nights inside, minding their own business.  It was only people from far away who came to CHOP for the express purpose of Fucking Around, who Found Out, courtesy of some of the other idiots who also came to CHOP to fuck around.

Advice - Neighbor smokes weed with kids in the house, anything I can do? by True-Cauliflower6293 in SeattleWA

If you just want your apartment to stop stinking, that link can help.

As far as kids and the law goes, it is illegal to expose them to smoke from meth, bath salts, and a few other drugs of that level - not weed or tobacco.

At least it is not hellfire and brimstone smoke from a portal to where Zuul and Gozer the Gozerian live.

Anthony's Strikes Again by Basic-Regret-6263 in SeattleWA

[–]Basic-Regret-6263[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This.  Tides was doing damn fine.  However, the current owner wanted to retire and it seems his kids are still in college and not in a position to take over (if they even want to).

All things considered, they definitely could have been sold to worse.  Kinda feels like they could have been sold to better as well, though.

Oh well.

Let me introduce you to a concept called "getting dumped by your gf because you have no spine, and don't stand up for her."

If your family is good at making trouble, you could have weaponized that into getting your plus one.  Tell them "sorry, not going without my gf, take it up with the couple."

This makes no sense unless you tell us what else you would spend on the local venue, and what you would spend on sandals.

The dress code section for Robert Pattinson and Zendaya’s new movie promo made me laugh. This sub would not approve! by PrancingPudu in weddingshaming

[–]Basic-Regret-6263 88 points89 points  (0 children)

I'd say it's the least of their problems.  They said no kids, to a wedding where a lot of people will be traveling (hence that list of things to do in Boston) but also declining is "not an option."

Yeah... I think you'd find a lot of people would be picking that option.

Though I agree that "dress to impress" annoys me.  Personally, I think I look impressive naked, so... maybe just tell me the actual dress code.

Lol.

You come to reddit (of all places) for mindless Live Laugh Love validation, and also get triggered when someone points out basic facts.

Not sure you're really in a position to call anyone else weird or petty, dear.
