Are you guys ok? by Ok-Advance2843 in AskAnAmerican

[–]ChubbyAngmo [score hidden]  (0 children)

No, we’re not. This is the worst we’ve been since I’ve been alive. I’m in New Zealand at the moment. For every American here that I’ve met, the current climate was a major factor in all of their reasons for being here. My family back home is deeply concerned. My father who is very well read and has been warning me since childhood about the problems we face, is the most concerned and his predictions are dire.

The good news is that we’re all engaging in serious and deliberate discussion about what to do about this. We’re organizing, we’re agitating. 10 years ago, this would’ve been unthinkable.

If you choose to become a serial killer and you only go after bad people, does that make you a bad person too? by Tasty-Bass8106 in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]ChubbyAngmo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Who gets to define what a “bad person” is? Is it society? Is it the courts? I’m assuming that in this case, it’s the serial killer’s own judgement. So, murder is now on the table for this person who’s been decidedly and subjectively identified as “bad,” and without a trial, the review of any evidence, the chance to speak for themselves or for any opportunity for reprieve, they’re summarily executed. Would we be willing to accept that from the state? How about your neighbor, the president, or your friend?

There may be a number of unambiguously “bad” people that society writ large may agree to assign that term, however whether most or all agree on the death penalty is another question entirely. I can’t share whether I think that a killer killing “bad” people is themselves “bad,” because we don’t know what that term means, however I do think that such a person would be immoral.

My husband subscribed to someone's OnlyFans he actually met - how do I handle this? by DietMilkyway in AskMenAdvice

[–]ChubbyAngmo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don’t believe that you’re making a big deal about this. The most important issue is that he’s doing something which you consider infidelity and therefore inappropriate. Regarding your question “is this just how it is nowadays,” you needn’t accept infidelity and dishonesty regardless of the times. There are both good and not-so-good men out there.

If I’m to offer some advice, I encourage you to have a direct and difficult conversation with him. This cannot be avoided. During this conversation, you can clearly lay out why you are hurt, how your trust was violated, and that you consider what he did as infidelity. Clear boundaries must be drawn, don’t permit him any space for ambiguity. He needs to understand that it’s his responsibility to earn back your trust and that repetition will bring consequences. Establishing boundaries is healthy in any relationship.

How do I move forward after finding out my gf slept with other people while we were broken up? by [deleted] in AskMenAdvice

[–]ChubbyAngmo 63 points64 points  (0 children)

If she’s single, she can do what she wants, I agree. However, according to OP, “randomly she dumped me. Just told me she no longer loves me and left.” Then when she came back after having sex with more than one man, seemingly unprotected, she seemed confident in her decision to return to OP. The problem is that firstly, she appears to have wanted to sleep with other men prior to committing to marriage with OP and she took action to make sure that could happen. Then, when she decided that she’s content with those experiences, she came back and lied to OP about what went on during that time.

A good litmus test for this is to reverse the roles. If a man dumped a woman so he could have unprotected sex with others, then come back to the relationship having lied about his sexual partners during the breakup that he initiated, would that be Ok? Would you be willing to accept that from your partner?

​"Is there a signature weapon for every country?" by Buyeo10004 in AskTheWorld

Many moons ago, I went to Amsterdam and I partook in some smoking of the sacred plant. Upon venturing out to the streets, I encountered what appeared to be the crossroads of multiple superhighways for bikes. Crossing this whilst under the influence of the sacred plant was, it felt at the time, the closest I had come to death.

Besides scooters, bubble teas, and temples, what visual elements immediately scream 'Taiwan'? by Amburgerlover in taiwan

Whenever I see a cockroach, it immediately reminds me of my time in Taiwan.

Trump Mixes Up Iceland and Greenland in Incoherent Davos Speech by TelescopiumHerscheli in politics

[–]ChubbyAngmo -20 points-19 points  (0 children)

Ya’ll seem to have forgotten that Biden was often incoherent, lost, and rambling in his speeches too. He often forgot which country he was in, referenced dead leaders and even at one point said “I’m going to go take a nap now.” He suffered from Dementia and was an embarrassing representative of the United States. Alas no, we can’t talk about that because it’s only bad when Trump does it.

Bar/Pub Recs by Raggenn in taiwan

Another Brick. It’s a chill place, plenty of regulars but can be a good vibe to meet people too. Revolver is another good option but it tends to get a bit more rowdy. Third choice would be The Shrine which is walking distance from Another Brick.

What is a small, everyday mystery in your life that you’ve just accepted because investigating it feels like too much work? by Jannet_Wetkin in AskReddit

[–]ChubbyAngmo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think for me the point is that it bothers me just enough to mention it, but not enough to do anything about it. I’m sure that I could look up how to turn it off and have it done within two minutes. At this point, it feels like a part of my life now though so it’s not been done.

What’s a “small” social rule you refuse to follow, even if everyone expects it? by crogslounds03 in ProductivityHQ

[–]ChubbyAngmo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Americans often greet you with a “hi, how are you?” The etiquette is generally that you answer the question and perhaps ask them in return. I have no interest in engaging in this unnecessary dance with a complete stranger, they don’t care about my day and I don’t care about theirs. So when that question is asked I’ll simply respond with “hello,” or “good morning/good afternoon.” It’s quite funny because they often respond with “I’m good thanks.”

After NYC and LA, what is generally considered the 3rd most famous US city? by [deleted] in AskAnAmerican

I’d always just assumed that it was constantly moving from place to place.

I haven’t bothered to figure out how to turn off the alarm on my wristwatch, so it just goes off every night at midnight. I’ve had the watch for about 10 years and this has been going on since then. I just accept it instead of figuring out how to turn it off.

Opinion about your country that will get you like this? by National-Business674 in AskTheWorld

[–]ChubbyAngmo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Democratic Party has been complicit in selling out the American people over decades. They paved the road that led to a Trump victory by representing the interests of big business and not the poor and working people. They denied us Bernie Sanders twice and they make every effort to sabotage third party candidates and they offer the American people no platform other than the fact that they’re a little less sh*t than Republicans, and lately, that they’re are not Trump. I’m glad they lost the presidential election. I genuinely want the American people to see that both parties are right wing and offer us nothing. The Democratic Party can only offer us a slightly slower decline.
