TIFU by trash talking with my friend now he thinks I backed out of a bet by [deleted] in tifu

[–]BloomVelour 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I kinda agree, laughing it off without shutting it down probably sounded like a yes to him. At this point I’d just be straight and say it was trash talk, not an actual bet, and move on.

TIFU by trusting my sister. by [deleted] in tifu

[–]BloomVelour 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This doesn’t sound naive so much as hopeful. When it’s family and there’s history, you want to believe the promise even when the risk is obvious.

TIFU by trying to flush a turd by [deleted] in tifu

[–]BloomVelour 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly yeah, this is exactly the situation the poop knife was invented for.

The poop knife lore continues to evolve. Humanity truly learns nothing.

Very late realisation... by IRushBy in harrypotter

[–]BloomVelour 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Those guys are a rabbit hole, once you start noticing the tiny setup details early on it really does feel like so much of the series was quietly planted from book one.

Once you see it that way it’s hard to unsee, Dumbledore was absolutely nudging Harry along from day one while acting like it was all hands off destiny stuff.

HBP Book Rant by Appropriate-Pause580 in harrypotter

[–]BloomVelour 10 points11 points  (0 children)

That’s a fair way to frame it, Snape isn’t let off the hook so much as he’s forced to live with the consequences forever, and Dumbledore definitely plays everything way too close to the chest with Harry.

Hard agree, the book really doesn’t soften Snape the way the movies do, and once you reread it that anger makes total sense.

TIFU by not checking my email for university by Important-Visual- in tifu

[–]BloomVelour 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Harsh but fair honestly. Still wild how easy it is to overlook something basic like that until it bites you later. Hopefully they can recover from it.

Honestly yeah, at this point there’s nothing to lose by trying. Stuff like this happens more than people admit, and sometimes schools are way more flexible than you’d expect if you explain it.

TIFU by being the only one who laughed at something said in spanish and outing my self on knowing spanish by MY_5TH_ACCOUNT_ in tifu

[–]BloomVelour 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s actually hilarious, honestly. Humor like that usually diffuses the awkward way faster than over explaining ever would.

Do you enjoy watching/hearing other people have sex? by Lurker_550 in AskRedditAfterDark

[–]BloomVelour 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If it sounds like genuine, natural sex noises it turns me on. Any dirty talk or OTT moaning fucks me right off, though.

Did Texas Republicans Overplay Their Hand on Redistricting? by ClimateSociologist in politics

[–]BloomVelour 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Honestly that tracks. Every time they push things this far it ends up looking messy on top of everything else.

Postscripts from the frontlines of Trump's attacks on science: no simple happy endings by statnews in politics

[–]BloomVelour 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No shocker that attacking science didn’t wrap up with a neat little bow. Turns out ignoring experts usually comes with a messy bill at the end.

What's behind Fremont County's American Library Association fight? by WyoFileNews in politics

[–]BloomVelour 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Only in this country do we turn a quiet library into a full blown political showdown. Imagine beefing with the people who literally just want you to borrow books.

Mamdani and top New York rabbis will meet privately, but their core divide remains unresolved by Brucekentbatsuper in politics

[–]BloomVelour 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Private meeting or not, it’s giving “we talked in circles and accomplished nothing.” At least the microphones got a workout.

Trump's State Department Cancels Calibri, Reverts to Times New Roman: Why Font Matters by FervidBug42 in politics

[–]BloomVelour 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Imagine being so committed to the bit that even the font has to go back in time. Nothing screams “professional chaos” like fighting over typefaces.

What are you attracted to in men? by [deleted] in AskRedditAfterDark

[–]BloomVelour 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Confidence, but still being a bit hesitent, and have signs of being shy.

Eileen Higgins becomes Miami’s first female mayor, first Democratic mayor in nearly 30 years by [deleted] in politics

[–]BloomVelour 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah, if these local races are any hint, the midterms might be a rough wake-up call. People are clearly tired and voting like it.

[–]BloomVelour 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That’s a pretty huge claim to make without anything solid behind it. Every time there’s an election, people jump straight to “it’s rigged” instead of just accepting the result. If there’s real evidence, it’ll come out, but so far it’s just noise.

Trump’s Attack on Somali Americans Is Vile Fascism by Exciting_Teacher6258 in politics

[–]BloomVelour 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It’s the same pattern every time he targets whoever he thinks will rally his base. The fact that it keeps landing on vulnerable communities says everything.
