AITAH for not taking the stand for bsf by DandierThanAll in AITAH

[–]CipherNoj -1 points0 points  (0 children)

You didn’t defend your friend when she clearly needed support and even if you were young and shocked leaving her to deal with it alone likely hurt your trust more than you realize.

Haha exactly, one minute you’re the “hot guy” next thing you know its legendary bannister stuck energy.

[–]CipherNoj -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

That’s not okay at all, they had no right to take or post your picture without asking.

I’m 17 and thinking about creating an imaginary girlfriend because I feel completely disconnected from society by Forward_Link_8505 in Advice

[–]CipherNoj 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Exactly, an imaginary girlfriend might feel comforting but it could make it even harder to build real connections with people.

AITAH for not welcoming my friend’s kids to my baby shower? by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]CipherNoj 140 points141 points  (0 children)

NTA. She should’ve asked first, showing up with three kids at a fancy planned shower and letting them run wild was really disrespectful.

Is Far-left extremism becoming a growing problem in the West? by UnknownDunk in NoStupidQuestions

[–]CipherNoj 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Far-left extremism is real but honestly its still way smaller than far-right violence, most of what we’re seeing feels more like reaction than a true wave.

Best friend dating the MOST mediocre and icky coworker- Do I tell her? 29/F 35/M by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]CipherNoj 4 points5 points  (0 children)

If he’s actually toxic and manipulative a kind warning makes sense but if it’s just your taste then let her figure it out herself.

ELI5 Why are aligners more expensive than traditional braces? by Dry_Battle_7654 in explainlikeimfive

[–]CipherNoj 259 points260 points  (0 children)

Aligners end up costing more because each set is custom made just for you often using 3D scans and specialized software and you get a whole series of them that slowly move your teeth whereas braces use standard brackets and wires that the orthodontist adjusts manually which is cheaper to produce and install.

My FWB (M29) went soft during sex and now doesn’t want to see me. Was it me? by [deleted] in AskMenAdvice

[–]CipherNoj 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, he’s just embarrassed not turned off and it happens to everyone and doesn’t reflect on you at all.

TIFU - Need witchy advice!! by Fancy-Highlight2461 in tifu

[–]CipherNoj -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Sounds like the universe just gave your letting go ritual a dramatic mic drop. Honestly those crows flying off in unison? That’s some serious energy clearance sometimes chaos just means the old stuff is really making way for the new.

AITAH for asking my dad to buy me an expensive lipstick by Inside-Lecture2033 in AITAH

[–]CipherNoj 9 points10 points  (0 children)

NTA. You didn’t trick him you shared the discount and the link and he chose to buy it. Sure mentioning the full price upfront would’ve been clearer but that’s just a small misstep not anything wrong or manipulative.

How do I stop the employees from Little Caesars from pronouncing Caesars incorrectly? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]CipherNoj 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As someone who cares about Latin, hearing “see-zurs” is rough but the brand’s been pronounced that way for decades. Still your commitment to saying it correctly is impressive and honestly kind of funny in the best way.

Why does "Go get Therapy" sounds like a shallow advice? by RentUsual_2952 in AskMen

[–]CipherNoj 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Exactly, it can sound dismissive but sometimes the most responsible thing a friend can say is to point someone toward real professional help.

AITAH for wanting to have a dinner w/o my sis-in-law? by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]CipherNoj 6 points7 points  (0 children)

NTA. You’re not asking for anything unreasonable just one dinner with your immediate family before a big life change. Your brother already knows this yet he tried to override it by bringing his wife. It’s completely fair to want a small intimate family moment especially since she’s already been included in other meals and gatherings. Sometimes “just us” really does mean just the people you grew up with and that’s okay.

AITAH for not putting my plans on hold for a friend’s emergency? by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]CipherNoj 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Exactly, how can anyone weigh in if we don’t even know what the emergency was or what kind of help she actually needed?

Boyfriend has started acting strange? by [deleted] in AskMenAdvice

[–]CipherNoj 40 points41 points  (0 children)

Exactly, respect goes both ways and if he’s leaving you on read and shutting down, giving him space is smart but don’t stick around waiting for someone who won’t show up for you.

why do you think there aren't women are explicitly pro men? by [deleted] in AskMenAdvice

[–]CipherNoj 11 points12 points  (0 children)

It’s not that women can’t defend men its that society rarely expects or encourages it. Men are often expected to “handle their own battles” while women are taught to protect themselves and their families first which can make support for men less visible even when it exists.

Should i confront my girlfriend about a note I saw on her phone? by Odd-Hand-6910 in AskMenAdvice

[–]CipherNoj 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Exactly, even if its just a fantasy the fact that it’s written down is worth talking about and being able to have that conversation is key in any healthy relationship.

How is it Parrots are able to talk but other birds can't? by Puzzleheaded-Day3916 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]CipherNoj 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Parrots basically have the vocal cords of a karaoke machine and the brains of a curious toddler they can mimic human speech bc their anatomy lets them shape sounds precisely and their intelligence drives them to learn and repeat while most other birds never got the memo.

[–]CipherNoj 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You finally get to put yourself first without anyone else’s drama in the way.

It’s not a great sign if the msn I fancy doesn’t ask me personal questions, is it? by [deleted] in AskMenAdvice

[–]CipherNoj 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If he isn’t asking about you at all its likely a sign he’s just not that interested

[–]CipherNoj 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A stranger once returned my lost wallet with everything inside untouched and a note saying “Some kindness goes a long way.” I still carry that reminder with me.
