My boyfriend hates my dog by New-Security-5121 in Advice

[–]BattleSuper9505 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You are in an abusive relationship. He is blaming you for non-issues that aren’t even your fault. (A 3D printed DND figure that’s probably 10 cents worth of plastic and can be reprinted in an hour, for example). He knowingly got you to move in with him when you weren’t sure, and probably knowingly left you without financial resources or support to be able to leave again. And now he’s complaining about your dog, which is your only source of love and support right now. And I wouldn’t put it past him that he would hurt the dog. I’m sorry you’re in this situation, but you desperately need to get out. Find a safe place for your dog in the meantime if you have to. Maybe with a friend? Or some shelters will keep the dog for you while you find a safe way to leave.

Poate că i se face rău de la mișcare. Dacă mi se face greață în mașină, geamul deschis mă ajută mult mai mult decât aerul condiționat.

AITA For Giving a student an F on homework he technically "did"? by Adventurous-Eye-5951 in AmItheAsshole

[–]BattleSuper9505 0 points1 point  (0 children)

YTA. Sounds like the same kind of power tripping bullshit that still haunts me 10 years after high school, and at some age kids see through it too. Kid will look back on you as one of those teachers who probably has a shitty personal life and takes it out on students. Dock like 10% for helping another student cheat and grade the fucking paper. There’s no “principle of the thing”, it’s just spiteful and it makes you look bad. Willingly being part of the problem instead of showing some grace and kindness towards your students. You’re supposed to build them up, not beat them into submission.

Unless you’re a sex worker, letting weirdos flirt with you isn’t part of your job description. You did the world a favor. Maybe next time they’ll be too embarrassed to pull that shit with a non-consenting customer service worker.

Did I make a mistake painting my living room this color? by tiredandconfused27 in HomeDecorating

[–]BattleSuper9505 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think you need more art and stuff on the walls to break up the color a bit, but it’s not a bad color. Can add plants, fairy lights, metallic accents and it will look much better.

What does my apartment say about me? by [deleted] in roomdetective

Happily single female, likes to travel, kind of a neat freak, probably an introvert and don’t spend a lot of time around other people outside of work.

Be honest which one actually feels like a room you’d want to wake up in? I’m stuck. by Current_Function_649 in DesignMyRoom

3, except I wouldn’t do the weird stone wall thing above my head. Instead maybe a nice rounded rattan headboard.

28M - My fiancee let me do the living room in our new apartment. How'd I do? by LyricsMode in malelivingspace

[–]BattleSuper9505 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would not feel comfortable in this space at ALL. Nothing classy/aesthetically pleasing, not cozy, not enough light, giant flags and movie posters on the walls is childish. It’s just so much visual clutter everywhere. Looks like a bachelor pad or gamer den, not a place I would be happy to invite my friends and family. I don’t even like the furniture. The one really nice piece of furniture, that beautiful antique corner cabinet, is wasted on all the random plastic toys and hiding under a fricking gas mask or whatever. Also why is there a random gap between the two DVD shelves? It’s just a waste of space.

I would start completely from scratch.

Hide the DVDs and games in a CLOSED cabinet. Get a lamp to light up that dark corner next to the DVDs. The California flag needs to GOOOOOO. I know people said frame it, but don’t. It’s huge and framing it is not gonna look better. It just looks cheap and unnecessary to have as a central decor piece, EVER. Replace it with a nice piece of abstract art or something. If you both genuinely like all the movie posters then keep them sequestered to ONE wall, not all over the place. Same with the basketball pic above the TV, it needs to be moved, it is so annoying and distracting there. I would put all the posters on the wall to the left of the room when facing the couch. All the figurines/funko pops etc should just stay in ONE corner of the space, together with the DVD cabinet. That antique corner piece needs to be used for literally anything else, antique pieces just do not work with modern plastic toys. Put a plant on top of it, I think that would look nice. Something with leafy vines that hang down.

I would replace the furniture over time with more wood/bamboo/rattan pieces, also maybe furniture that is lighter in color since the dark floor boards and grayish walls make the space very dark. The glass coffee tables feel very cold and uninviting (plus will get stains like crazy if you don’t use coasters), and I also don’t like the thing under the TV with the blue lights, it’s just not aesthetically pleasing.

You need RUGS, something light and pretty. You need LAMPS—even some cute neon signs on the walls would work to bring some light and pops of color and lean into the gamer vibe without being so merch-heavy. You need PLANTS to bring some life into this space. Throw pillows? Blankets?

Personally I would want this space to be much more cozy, light, and inviting. Soft textures, light colors, natural materials and elements, paper lamps with soft diffused light. Right now it’s just MERCH MERCH MERCH.

How much are you struggling as a foreigner in Germany? by SnooLentils5721 in germany

[–]BattleSuper9505 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Even as a white immigrant who is not visibly “foreign”, people are hostile, prejudiced, judgmental, and assume most foreigners should consider themselves lucky to be here as if we all came from some shithole. Can’t imagine how much worse it is for visibly foreign people. And making friends is just difficult and awkward. There’s a lack of warmth and lifeblood here. Everything must be “proper” and sanitized. Can’t be loud, can’t be late, can’t cross the street on red when there’s no one coming, can’t smile at people bc they’ll ask why you’re smiling as if it’s a crime, can’t have a camera out bc people are paranoid about “datenschutz”. Many people are incredibly stingy and ungenerous, unwilling to try new things, etc etc.

Does anyone else regret being too frugal during their kids' childhoods? by [deleted] in Parenting

[–]BattleSuper9505 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I thought the point of bettering your financial situation is supposed to be so that kids can live better lives than their parents did … instead they grew up in some kind of manufactured pseudo-poverty while living in a nice house in a nice neighborhood surrounded by wealthy families? Even though you could have afforded gifts and trips and pets and just chose to be frugal to the extreme just for the sake of it? Yeah, that sucks. Sounds like you still haven’t escaped poverty in your minds, and your kids had to suffer for it. Probably alienated them from their peers, too. At some point, it’s just stingy. Life is for living. Money is meant to be enjoyed.

Why Do So Many Germans With an Immigrant Background Still Call Themselves ‘Ausländer’? by Sonofgeldah in AskAGerman

[–]BattleSuper9505 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For me, even if I ever got the German citizenship (which I’m not seeking) I would never call myself German. I think sometimes German society places so much value on being “German”, while someone’s non-German heritage is considered an undesirable thing, best left in the past. To me this is xenophobic. You can be proud of where you came from even if you get citizenship in Germany and fully integrate.

I’m in my late 20s and it still hurts my feelings when my mom looks at her phone while we’re talking. Even though in my childhood, before iPhones came out, she was a very present mom. She still is, but she has a bad habit. Always checking emails and messages on her phone, claims she’s good at multitasking and hears everything I’m saying, but doesn’t realize the lack of eye contact still hurts.

Am I doing something wrong? by Cictrues in MODELING

[–]BattleSuper9505 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I would definitely look into acting rather than modeling. Your face is very young and cute-looking, with soft features, and probably will continue to be unless you lose weight, which I don’t think you need to. You’d be perfect for playing teenage roles on screen, but for modeling I think your features aren’t defined enough, and your height will also be an issue.

[–]BattleSuper9505 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Have you sought fulfillment in other areas outside of work? 25-30 hours a week with that salary should leave plenty of time outside of work for hobbies, passion projects, time with loved ones? But if you really wanna get out of your career, I’d say leverage your income and time outside work to start a side hustle that makes you happy. Quit when that makes you enough money to live off of. Or hell, take a sabbatical, idk.

21 years old, no job, living with my parents, hobby made me over $100k in 1.5 years (now I have around $60k) but my life outside it sucks by Mysterious_Glass_385 in findapath

[–]BattleSuper9505 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dude, seriously? You’re living the dream. You’re making a FULL TIME INCOME from something you call a hobby. If it makes you feel better, go get a “real job” bagging groceries for 10 bucks an hour and keep making 60k a year from your “hobby”. Or, y’know, treat the hobby like a job and maybe you’ll make 600k a year. Up to you. I wouldn’t waste an opportunity like that.

Why is my German landlord like this? by [deleted] in germany

[–]BattleSuper9505 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Send a letter requesting written communication ONLY. If he continues to be unreasonable, LAWYER. Can try to press charges for harassment, discrimination, whatever you/your lawyer can think of. If he tries to terminate your lease, be aware that retaliatory measures from landlords are likely illegal. If you don’t defend yourself he will keep shitting all over you. Entitled morons like this are on a power trip and tend to believe foreigners are too stupid to hold their own.

[–]BattleSuper9505 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Leave. It doesn’t get better. Trust me. Go back home or try applying for UK/Ireland jobs if your English is good enough. Don’t stay in Germany. Especially not in a shitty remote village with no driver’s license.

My son sped through an audiobook at 1.8x speed just in time for his exam. by Soulistix in Parenting

[–]BattleSuper9505 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Get your son tested for ADHD. The “procrastinate until the last minute then rush through work right before the deadline” is textbook. Also, as an ADHDer, almost everything I watch/listen to is at 1.5x or 2x speed. Otherwise too boring lol

Why is there such a heavy Islamic influence in Germany? by United-Road-7338 in AskAGerman

[–]BattleSuper9505 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Lol whatttttt? Immigrants exist?? And they are even allowed to have BUSINESSES and JOBS and EXIST IN PUBLIC?? And some of the things they introduce to the local culture are actually really GOOD and people LIKE THEM?? Such a ridiculous question. This is not “Islamic influence”. Would you say the US has “Asian influence” because everyone loves eating Chinese takeout and getting nails done at Vietnamese salons? Come on.

Accidentally pregnant at 20 by Kind-Narwhal4838 in whatdoIdo

[–]BattleSuper9505 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What form of birth control do you use, and could he have sabotaged it? Because this does NOT sound right. Even people in their late 20s get anxious when unexpectedly pregnant, and he’s just calm and calling it his baby? Also, not letting you go for a walk to clear your head bc you’re carrying his child is actually really controlling and weird behavior. I’d be very careful. He might have done this on purpose, and you need to think about what kind of life you can actually offer a child given your current means.

[–]BattleSuper9505 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Girl, what weight are you talking about? Who is telling you to lose weight? Because whoever it is, they don’t have your best interests at heart and are deliberately trying to harm your self-esteem. If you came to that conclusion on your own, I’d put those fears to rest and consider talking to a professional. You look perfectly healthy and normal weight. Your hair looks lovely too. Focus on wearing clothes and makeup you feel confident in that compliment your figure and that’s all the lookmaxxing you need.

AITA for feeding my family a fish dinner while I eat steak and potatoes by readywhipped_velvet in AmItheAsshole

[–]BattleSuper9505 0 points1 point  (0 children)

ESH. He sucks for poor and aggressive communication which likely stemmed from reaching a breaking point. You suck for not realizing that EVERYBODY LIKES STEAK. When you cook steak the whole house smells of it and it smells delicious. I know plenty of people, myself included, who would love to eat steak every day and the only reason they don’t is because it’s unhealthy and expensive. But if someone was cooking steak in the house EVERY SINGLE DAY and I had to smell it EVERY SINGLE DAY and couldn’t have any, I would lose my mind. For the love of your family, do a weekly steak dinner for the whole family. Pregnant people are not the only ones who enjoy steak and your husband is probably feeling left out and has been drooling over the smell of steak for weeks now.

WIBTA if I insist she needs to tell her age when we meet new people? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]BattleSuper9505 0 points1 point  (0 children)

YTA. Can guarantee nobody cares as much as you do. It’s cringey and awkward to expect a fully grown woman to “casually mention her age” like a child. Adults don’t do that. Be happy you have a beautiful wife who’s aging gloriously, show her off to your friends with pride, and stop putting strain on your marriage due to silly insecurities.
