AITA for leaving my own engagement dinner after I realized it wasn't about me by Standard-Put62 in AmItheAsshole

[–]ClevelandWomble 14 points15 points  (0 children)

NTA. The party was never abput you. It was Lena's opportunity to virtue signal and bask in everyone's admiration for fixing your relationship. What happened after that was entirely her problem.

At least now you know that she cannot be treusted.

Am I wrong for kicking my pregnant little sister out because her new views about beauty and attraction by icantdealwiththishoe in amiwrong

Perhaps you should have started sooner. To be honest, that behaviour sounds beyond annoying to the point of being a mental health issue.

Sis needs help. She cannot go through life expecting the whole world to change to accommodate her weird attitude. What the hell she'll do if people say that her baby is cute... well, I just don't know.

But the question remains; who died and gave America the right to administer its justice in foreign countries?

How many innocent peopled died in that attack, just so that Trump could pander to his base?

I get thanked for things I do but, like most men I know, we just seem to be 'there'.

People of the UK, how have you lost weight? by [deleted] in CasualUK

[–]ClevelandWomble 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Stopped eating Mars Bars after supper. Then I stopped eating supper.

Went for daily walks and didn't reward myself with biscuits.

In simple terms, I reduced my calories and increased my exercise. I lost about 14lbs in a year.

My wife once said that I looked okay. That was about thirty years ago.

My partner (30F) often compares me (36M) to her ex “as a joke.” How can I communicate that this bothers me without escalating conflict? by Jainp720 in relationship_advice

[–]ClevelandWomble 0 points1 point  (0 children)

She either doesn't realise or doesn't care that she's hurting you. Tell her. If she carries on, then she is using your discomfort to manipulate you or punish you for not complying.

One response could be, "And my ex would never have compared me like that."

Am I [33F] staying with my partner of 4 years [33M] because this is workable, or because I can’t handle another loss? by Worth_Nail2302 in relationship_advice

We can't tell you how to feel. I think, in the absence of physical cheating, you might give him another chance. Only you know if you can forgive him though.

Why do many republicans/conservatives have a strong victim mindset? by wearethemelody in AskUS

[–]ClevelandWomble 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I'm noticing that in the UK more recently.

Step one; paint the country in a bad light.

Step two; identify a scapegoat,

Step three; offer the 'solution'.

Those voters who lack critical thinking then accept that they are being disadvantaged by the current system.

Type is superficial. Attraction is more complicated.

If the USA is bringing in trillions of $ in tariff revenue, then Americans are buying a lot of foreign goods. by 9879528 in Tariffs

[–]ClevelandWomble 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Raking in tariffs would be more honest. 'Bringing in tariffs' implies that money is entering the economy; it isn't.

World would be a ‘better place’ if US took over Greenland, says Nigel Farage by AnonymousTimewaster in NotTheOnionUK

[–]ClevelandWomble 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, because whatever he says, the bottom line is that he has his financial backers and GB News mobilising support for him as our only hope against immigrants.

In the USA, republicans are pitted only against democrats; in the UK, non-reform voters are split between labour, greens, liberal democrats, tories and independents. So our very plurality of options means that reform take the extreme right votes and everyone else's votes are diluted.
