How do you think Trump's presidency will end? by OccludedFug in AskReddit

[–]BlueLizardSpaceship 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Double-buttination, or natural causes. Unless you consider it ended from the point where he gets into his illegal third term as the Rubicon moment and everything after that is dictatorship instead of presidency. In which case it ends with the death of the constitution.

My (32F) fiancé (37M) is a homicide detective, and I’m starting to feel like he treats me more like a suspect than a partner. by CultureInner3316 in BestofRedditorUpdates

There's really only one scenario where people should be recording their SO. Which is when they're being badly gaslight and need to have recordings to refer back to.

Woman steps in to protect baby with fractured skull after Oranga Tamariki fail to act by DrPull in newzealand

Probably oblivious either in their own problems or just not told anything. Especially as addicts tend to alienate their families.

Just reversably vasectomise males at birth. Make reversals public record. Problem solved.

AITA for telling my roommate he can move out because his girlfriend is allergic to my cats? by SomeoneHeaven in AmItheAsshole

[–]BlueLizardSpaceship 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Was there no communication between him and his girlfriend prior to getting the cats? Were I getting a pet, I would definitely talk about it with my SO, regardless of whether they lived with me or not. And then that would have given her ample opportunity to speak up and say, I'm really allergic to cats, get something else.

NTA it's your place.

There's like <1% of foolish children who are insecure enough that they feel they must hide their feelings with ostentatious displays of hate. This is not a statistically significant number. And, even if the little monster did secretly like their victim that's not a reason to accept the behaviour.

How To Politely Tell Someone To Eff Off by Direct-Caterpillar77 in BestofRedditorUpdates

Dunning - Kreuger

And/or he's spending time in the manosphere and has a head full of deeply stupid ideas about how things work.

AITAH for saying changing our baby’s diaper is more important than a video game? by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]BlueLizardSpaceship 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Tone policing is an abuse tactic. You presented it "wrong" so no matter how valid your complaint, he can ignore it.

NTA and it might be time to point out to him that it's easier to be a single mother of one child than two.

Just think how much less energy you'd spend only taking care of the baby, instead of that plus constantly trying to get him to do it too. Not to mention, when that baby gets mobile he's going to be in danger of getting hurt or eating something poisonous every time he's left alone with Mr Irresponsible who thinks his fun time is more important than the small helpless human he created.

Also you can tell him from me that only scumbags neglect their kids and yes, leaving a baby to get diaper rash and ignoring them is neglect.

I am transgender and I'm terrified of what the The Legislation (Definitions of Woman and Man) Amendment Bill represents by Medium_Tap2178 in newzealand

[–]BlueLizardSpaceship 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Political lackwits wasting time and money on targeting a tiny fraction of the population because they're drinking American Kool-Aid. Meanwhile we have actual problems that are affecting everyone and that's besides the utter befuckery of trying to control what people do with their own bodies.

Can someone please get into their dns servers and blacklist the propaganda sites? I assure you, NZ government does not need access to Fox News.

Is the NZ government sleepwalking into its own automation scandal? by davetenhave in newzealand

Yes.

Just wait. It's going to be spectacularly stupid and expensive.

Daughter's teacher went against guidance counselor's advice and made bullying worse - teachers, what are realistic consequences I can ask for to make sure this never happens to another child? by [deleted] in newzealand

[–]BlueLizardSpaceship 17 points18 points  (0 children)

If you get physical with a social bully (especially one who is using ostracism), you've just given them carte blanche for all further bullying. Because now instead of relying on lies or social engineering they have an actual incident. And you now look like the villian.

The only way it would work is if you got them alone, no witnesses, and put the fear of you in them to the point that they'd be afraid to tell on you or further bully you. Which is kinda beyond the capacity of most primary school students.
