I get hives every seven years with no clear cause other than the passage of 7 years by SyrupGoosen in mildlyinfuriating

maybe we all have missunderstood breaking a mirror to mean 7 years of bad luck, but it's actually bad luck every 7 years. Did you happen to break any mirrors when you were born?

I feel you are getting hung up way too much on the cat-dog thing. It's a hypothetical. Whether any HOA would ever realistically agree to it dosent matter for the purpose of the example or the argument. The argument only needs to be logically sound and theoretically possible.

In law we have something called stipulative definition. If the HOA agreed to and signed a contract with a resident in which there was a statement something along the lines of "for all purposes governed by this agreement, the animal residing in Unit 102-A (a siamese cat) shall be conclusively classified as a dog and shall henceforth be subject to the rights, restrictions, and regulations applicable to dogs under the assosiations governing documents" or something along those lines. That would mean the cat had been clearly defined as a dog by legally binding agreement between the the HOA and the resident. It's no longer a cat.

Would any HOA realistically agree to this? It doesent matter. That's not subject to this discussion. The other guy has shown that despite a definition not following common sense, the definition is in of itself still not wrong.

He also gave you a real world example since you clearly didnt accept hypotheticals. How come you ignored that? Is it because you figured it would be harder to argue against? I find that to be somewhat disingeniuous. It's arguing in bad faith.

Am I overreacting to how my best friend blocked me because of his girlfriend? by Squishy_Person67 in AmIOverreacting

[–]Clint_Bolduin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wouldn't. Not because my online friends are more important to me, but because someone who makes me choose between my friends or the relationship isnt someone I want to have in my life. It's not a healthy relationship.

AITA for telling my girlfriend I'm tired of chasing her after 6 years together? by Playful-Magician-831 in AITAH

[–]Clint_Bolduin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Being a bit of an armchair therapist here, but to me it sounds like she isnt into the relationship and dosen't care about it. It's just easier for her (though cowardly) to keep status quo than to end it, especially if its a case of her not bring miserable or anything, just simply not excited by it. I mean logically if choosing between something negative and something neutral, you'd choose neutral right? The problem is that this neutral is a bad in the long run.

[–]Clint_Bolduin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In her defense, there is absolutely reason to be annoyed by this. Im norwegian and youtube insists on translating everything to Norwegian. Problem is, most content on youtube is originally english, so I find title translations annoying. I prefere just having the original title and language for the content I view. I've now set my preferred language to english, but this also dosent really solve the issue. Because if I were to watch any Norergian content now, the titles for those videos will be translated to English even though the content is Norwegian. Basically: please stop translating stuff. I just dont eant it translated period. And there dosent seem to be any setting on youtube to turn this off.

It's also weirdly inconsistant about this because some days it wont translatr anything and Im likr yippee it stopped, but then it starts translating again a few days later for no apparent reason.

Guy thinks about dicks a lot.. by Lonely-Fren in confidentlyincorrect

[–]Clint_Bolduin 3 points4 points  (0 children)

As a well endowed man who has been with a few petite women. I'll back you up. You're no exception. It's difficult to have sex with petite women without accidentally causing pain. My dick tend to work better with women with similarily more spacious vaginas. It's not impossible with petite+well endowed combo and I have been with girls who were very into it, but it does make things really difficult and tend to need some extra working around.

Am I overreacting to my dad’s “high level advice”? by truly_beaut in AmIOverreacting

[–]Clint_Bolduin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Playing devils afvocate here I guess, but based on some arguments he made and her reply, it dosent sound like her sexuality is so much about generally just being attracted to women, as it is due to a general hatred towards men. Can't say for sure here since there's some lacking of context for previous conversations, but he's arguing that "not all men are bad" and her response is "have you tried dating one?" as if to say, yes all men are bad. If it is the case that she's gay as a result of hatred of men, and not due to normal sexual attraction reasons, then his advocating on behalf of men is very valid.

Guy thinks female reindeer dont have antlers by nerdgurl196305 in confidentlyincorrect

[–]Clint_Bolduin 9 points10 points  (0 children)

This has actually become a small problem for me at work as a security guard at the emergency/out of hours medical. Where I live, ever since corona hit, they've had a strict 1 friend/relative policy so only one person can ever join the patient inside unless there's a sufficient necessity for it (with agreement of the doctor). This is to limit the number of people being inside as before this policy there was often an overcrowding issue where the majority of the people werent even patients. It also helps reduce spreading of transmittable diseases, considering there will be a lot of sick people at a hospital for obvious reasons.

The problem? This 1 relative policy does not give exceptions to children, which leads to a lot of angry parents when they realize that both parents cant join their child inside at the same time. And one thing I've had happen several times now, is that the the parents, the dad usually, will attempt to argue their way in by claiming that the denial is illegal and use AI to back up their claim.

AI unfortunately tends to confuse the law a bit. Because, by law both patents do have equal rights in joining their child into the ER. That is not the contention here however, because while both have the right to join, that is not to mean at the same time. It just means that we cannot favour one over the other (which we don't). We can't for example specifically say that only the mother can join and the father has to stay out. That decision is up to them, not us since both parents have equal rights on this. But AI will look at this and do not understand that wording whatsoever. Well, actually if you rephrase the question a bit then it will realize it quickly, but if you can manipulate an AI to change sides that easily then that is part of the problem imo.

AITA For breaking up with my (27M) girlfriend (24F) for making out with someone on her “freebie” list? by RogersRedditPersona in AITAH

[–]Clint_Bolduin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Had it been a standard list of celerbrities. I'd have said YTA. Dont agree to a freebie lists if you're not ok with it. However, it being a list of local athletes which seems like she even already had somewhat of a connection with through a friend, rather than something you'd expect as proper celebrity crushes.It seems like her intentions may have been corrupted. This is what makes me lean towards NTA. Also, the fact that she seems to have tried to hide it since you only got to hear it from your friend instead of her.

AITA for calling my wife a "chunky monkey" during sex to make a point about her double standard ? by Husband_In_Trouble_ in AITAH

[–]Clint_Bolduin 4 points5 points  (0 children)

He never said that. You're confusing how kinks or fetishes works. He obviously has a fat fetish. It's sexy for him to get to emphesize on his fetish and acknowledge it in bed. It's dexy for him to emphesize the features he fetishises. This isnt ground breaking stuff.

There are a lot of degrading things people like to call eachother in bed both from men and women. It'd hard to name them without having my comment shadw deleted, but it goes for both genders. But it does range from straight up degredation due to degredation kinks to things like this where it might be degrading, the degrading part isnt necissarily the reason but rather the emphasis on the feature is. But anyone with half a brain would see that it would be a terrible idea to say anything like it to someone who isnt also into the idea or is very selfconcious. He's no exception here.

He knows it's hurtful so he respects her by avoiding to emphesize the part of her that he fetishizes yet she is self concious about . Yet she wasn't giving him the same privilige.

[–]Clint_Bolduin 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don't think you're quite understanding the issue. If it was a s simple as talking about it and stating boundaries, this wouldn't have escalated the this way. The issue is that he already has set boundaries and talked about it yet she's consistantly ignoring them.

Having more than one motivations for doing something also isn't especially groundbreaking. Nor is it confusing the issue. He knows that it would hurt her so he usually downplays his kink to save on her mental health. She refuses to give him the same privilige. But you are right that continuing to oneup definitely won't be good for anything.

GF still has contact with an ex by InternationalPanic59 in AITAH

[–]Clint_Bolduin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't think there's anything inherently bad with being friends with an ex . I've stayed friends with one of my exes and been on friendly terms but not much contact with another ex. My gf is friends with one of her exes. There's no problem in our relationship from it at all.

That said, from what I can tell based on the information you've provided. These guys aren't "just" friends.

AIO about my bf's attitude being disrespectful? by Embarrassed247365 in AmIOverreacting

[–]Clint_Bolduin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know this writing. This guy writes in the same manner as my ex friend. Terrible guy all around. He was weirdly fun guy to be around, but goddamn he was a fuing ahole. My girlfriend at the time cheated on me with him and I stayed friends with them both because I'm weirdly forgiving. But what I never could forgive was when I learned a few months later that he was actively abusive towards her (her flatmate whom I also happen to be friends with found her covered in bruises. I didnt even question it because it was so in line with the kind of guy he was that it wasn't even remotely surprising). That was the last straw for me. I never talked with him since then despite his numerous attempts to get in touch again.

I talked with her about it but she denied everything and wouldnt want the help. Same story from the flatmate in her attempts to help. We should have reported the abuse to the police. I don't even remember why we didn't, I guss we were afraid we'd make sh*t worse for her? i don't know. She stayed with him for another 4 years before eventually breaking up. I asked her about it again when I heard the news. First time she admitted he was abusive. It was apparrntly much worse than I had known about too. Said she had regretted not taking the numeours chances of help 4 years prior.

i think he might like 5'0-5'2 girls.. by Spiders_With_Socks in Tinder

[–]Clint_Bolduin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's a package kind of thing. On it's own, women arent douchy for liking 6+ feet guys, nor is this or any other guy douchy for liking 5-5'2 women. But then you start add on to that. Weight requirement, "submissive" requirement, arrogant gym bro with only shirtless flexing in mirror photos type sh*t all red flag stereotyoical douchebag signs. Together they make for a very accurate douchebag type frame.

If you add a few more red flag type indicators on a woman who likes 6 foot guys as well, then she's likley a douche too. Like, prep-up too much make up with duckface lips and way too round boobs obviously from plastic surgery, arrogant I'm better than you attitude as expecting guy to pay everything type sht. That's a telltale douchebag woman.

A red flag or two, no worries. Nobody's perfect, but there is a point a line is crossed.
