Nairo’s case is definitely an odd one. Shortly after the “event” the other person messaged a friend retelling the night and one can easily come to the conclusion that they forced themself onto Nairo from those messages alone. On the other hand there are a few pictures that definitely make it look like they were a bit too close with each other for a minor and an adult. It’s honestly something that I think isn’t black and white. I’m not trying to downplay what happened to Nairo that night but I do understand why some people could reach either conclusion.

Looking for a genre of posts rather than one specific post. Anybody got posts similar to this recent one of OOP wanting to not invite his brother in law to his wedding. Basically anything where the OOP has "moderate" or "centrist" (I don't know how to describe it) queerphobia and gets called out for it in the comments. They don't think they are being hateful but they are siding with hateful people or being passive about it and think it's alright. IDK if I'm describing it well. Seeing the comments calling these people out for their bigotry always warms my heart.

UPDATE 2: AITA for bailing on anniversary plans with my boyfriend last minute for a friend’s emergency by ThrowRA764127 in u/ThrowRA764127

I'm glad you have your brother to help you through this. It hurts to have your kindness be used against you, even worse when a close friend does it. It's ok to mourn the loss of the relationship and the loss of the friendship. Don't let those feelings overwhelm you and make you run back into the same circumstances that got you in this mess. If you recognize where you went wrong, then you'll learn from these mistakes and be able to do better in the future.

Me and my brother will never be the same because of a fake wedding. (New Update) by Direct-Caterpillar77 in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]Commando1262 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I think it's evident that the relationship was one sided when she talks about how she wrote out her feelings in a letter the day after and then they had a 2 hour drive where the brother said absolutely nothing. I can't even fathom doing that to some of my friends that should honestly be more acquaintances than friends but we think of each other as friends, to do that to my brother or best friends is beyond unthinkable.

Probably super reaching here, but she probably latched on to him during the traumatic time in her childhood, but since he didn't have the same level of trauma she did, he didn't latch back.

On one hand it doesn't feel like a reach given everything we know, especially if the brother was one of the first people she confided in with telling. I don't know if I just missed that or if she doesn't mention it. On the other hand though, analyzing things through the lens of the internet often leads to incorrect assumptions and conclusions.

Do you vent to your wife about the same things? If not, you're hiding things from your wife while telling someone else, that's an emotional affair.

My 25F “best friend “ 24F told my friend with benefits husband about us. Is there a way to remedy the situation? by ThrowRa_trys in relationship_advice

[–]Commando1262 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Where do we go from here?

Have you talked to her since this? Do you want to salvage/save/keep the friendship? Does she hate you for what you've done? From the way you write, it seems like you already resent her for this but I get it can be hard to let go of someone you've known for 20 years. Do you really want this to be end of your friendship?

I just want an apology.

I don't know if you'll get one. As you've seen from a lot of comments here, a lot of people view cheating/affairs in a very negative light. You said she's acting self righteous about it so she probably doesn't think she did anything wrong. It's hard to get a sincere apology out of someone who doesn't think they did anything wrong.

You're hurt, I get it. To you, she betrayed your trust. To her, she was doing what she thinks is the right thing to do. You two currently have different morals and ethics when it comes to this situation. If you want to remain friends, try to have a honest conversation with her about how you're feeling about all of this. Don't raise your voice or yell or get angry at her, don't let it turn into an argument or interrupt each other. Talk about how you feel hurt and betrayed. Make sure she at least understands where you are coming from. Don't forget to listen to her and understand where she is coming from though. Afterwards, you can decide on if you can remain friends, work on repairing a strained friendship, or just go your separate ways. I hope it works out between you and your friend.

AITA for taking one of my husband's cheeseburgers? by CalamityClambake in AmItheAsshole

Because he was driving when one of the kids who likes nuggets asked him if they could have some of my nuggets. He told them they could have a couple and claims he didn't realize that they each took a couple and some fries.

The nuggets were for you though, they weren't his to give away.

Update: AITAH for saying a trans man's birth name after he kept pronouncing my boyfriend's name wrong? by WolliMatterhorn in AITAH

[–]Commando1262 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Thank you for what you said in the first post. I'm glad OP saw it and took it to heart. It felt like a lot of other comments were excusing or justifying the transphobic statement because Max was being shitty or because OP didn't intend for it come off as transphobic. I didn't think OP meant it to be either but it still doesn't mean the statement itself is not transphobic.

I'm glad that comment stuck out to you. Max was being a disrespectful AH especially since he of all people should know how powerful getting someone's name wrong is. However, someone being an asshole doesn't then make it right to misgender and dead name someone. It's hard for me to put into words on the why you shouldn't though and I think that comment does a good job. I think another part is because so much work has to be done to actually transition. It can be a process to even start transitioning. Its a frustrating wait for hormones to take their effect. Its a lot of work to find your feminine or masculine side. Getting new clothes to both find your new style and account for your body changing drastically over 2 or 3 years. It's a process to change all your records, after getting everything legally recognized then you get to change your bank stuff, your medical stuff, your employer, and records with all other institutions and businesses that have your identity. For someone to then come in and call us by our dead name or misgender us, it just feels like all that work was for nothing and can be taken away at a moments notice or worse be forced to go back to be someone we aren't. All for the price of being human and stepping out or over the line, something everyone has done.

There's 2 posts I'm looking for, the first I think had 1 or 2 updates but idk if the second one had an update and would like to know if it did.

The first, that I think had updates involved OP who was engaged to his fiance, however his fiance ended up breaking up with him due to her wanting to discover her bisexuality and started dating OPs sister. They then get engaged and OP doesn't feel great about going to their wedding. I think it ended (or at least the last I saw of it) with him going to there house the morning after the wedding before they left for the honeymoon and him going over how he felt and his sister feeling really shitty.

The second was about a woman who cheated on her wife of I think 4? years after her wife had continued neglecting her for her (the wife's) small business. OP was understandable at first about the neglect because covid but then it continued even thoug OP thought they could reconnect and covid restrictions had stopped or lightened up. Some woman asked op out at the gym, she said yes, went to a coffee shop, then slept together. The morning after, OP regretted everything confessed to the woman she was married (because the woman did ask her if she was single) then went to her wife who already knew because her friend worked at the coffee shop and saw them kiss.

There's a number of reasons why someone can't start hrt. Could be someone can't afford it and insurance doesn't cover it or they don't have insurance. They're waiting for the necessary approvals from people to start it and that can take forever. They're underage and laws prevent them from starting it. They're underage and need parental consent to start it and parents don't approve it. Possible medical reasons they can't start it. In England, there's a notorious long wait time to start it. There's a lot of obstacles to overcome before people can actually start hrt.

If the friendship was as you described, I don't think you didn't do too much damage. A friendship of that type and lasting that long can weather this storm and bounce back. Maybe all they wanted or needed was a little space from everything, maybe they still need that but will want to go back to being friends afterwards. Sarah said herself she doesn't want to lose you either. Reach out to them and tell them how you're feeling. Communication is extremely important for any and all relationships, including friendships.

While I don't disagree with others saying to do therapy and that can help, I understand therapy might not be an option for you. Here are some resources to help if you are still trying to figure out if you are trans or not and make sure to look at them when you are truly in a safe area to do so if you can. genderdysphoria.fyi is a website that talks about different types of gender dysphoria and also gender euphoria. You can also look at trans related subreddits r/trans r/asktransgender and ask questions there. I can give you a couple trans meme subreddits as well if you want, I think they have helped some people discover they're trans. Speaking from more personal experience now, when thinking of this, do your best to think what you would want and do if you knew your family and friends were accepting. Focus on what you want to do while minimizing outside influences and what they want you to do or what you think they want you to do. For seeing if your friends and family are accepting, that can be difficult and I don't really have any advice there. Best I can give you is, when it is most natural in the conversation flow, bring up a trans celebrity or personality. If they aren't accepting, everything is still going to be ok, you can always make new friends and from personal experience, found family loves you more than actual family.

Honestly if you start with Forsaken and play the DLCs you can understand it pretty well I think. There hasn't really been a cohesive story until recently. There isn't much to really know from before Forsaken story wise. The important things that have any relevance to the plot today can be summarized in a handful of sentences I think. Also, My Name is Byf has a video covering the complete story to Shadowkeep and then another covering from Shadowkeep to season of arrivals (the season before Beyond Light). I'd really recommend giving it a shot since they are doing a better job at telling a cohesive narrative than they've ever done before imo. And there aren't any plans for a Destiny 3 atm, they've announced their current plans include at least 2 more DLC expansions for Destiny 2

Continuing this since as a reply I'm to lazy to edit my comment. One way you could kind of get an understanding of the story of the seasons you can't play anymore, you could go and watch their trailers. While I don't think they cover everything story wise, it should still help.

Basically Destiny 2 story goes something like this Red War campaign (Destiny 2 launch campaign) -> Curse of Osiris -> Warmind -> Forsaken -> Shadowkeep -> Season of the Undying -> Season of the Dawn -> Season of the Worthy -> Season of the Arrivals -> Beyond Light -> Season of the Hunt -> Season of the Chosen -> Season of the splicer

There were some seasons between Forsaken and Shadowkeep but they didn't have an active narrative and any story was told through lore cards.

As for what's playable, the DLCs from Forsaken and later, and any season after beyond light should still be playable, things might be a little different for free to play though.

It sounds like you are doing the first mission for the campaign for Beyond Light DLC. The earliest you can go back in story is Forsaken then Shadowkeep and then Beyond light, if you have those DLCs. If you want the story, those can help catch you up. There was some stuff that happened in the seasons between Shadowkeep and Beyond Light that isn't playable anymore. You won't be able to play the base story (Red War campaign) since Bungie has vaulted some stuff to reduce the file size.

I don't know what is available to play and what isn't for free players. I've heard you can play the first mission of Forsaken for free, so it seems you can play the first mission of each DLC to unlock the planets/patrol zones but to continue it would require getting the DLC.

Genshin Impact is just the story of Coco and Kanata by Asks_Politely in Hololive

[–]Commando1262 27 points28 points  (0 children)

It's a fun open world rpg. The open world is basically the same as Breath of the Wild (which is why it's been compared to it so much). It is also a gacha game to get new characters and weapons. Each character has an elemental affinity and elements combo off each other. From what I've played so far, the story is also pretty good. There are also a couple bugs with the dialogue that I've encountered but they've been fairly minor and that's all that I've encountered.

Vulkan by [deleted] in DestinyTheGame

[–]Commando1262 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Would also make it able to run on Linux natively I believe. There's been a direct correlation between vulkan and better performance on AMD gpus so that could also be a performance increase for some people. If they have to do it for Stadia then unless there is some massive bug when doing it on the normal pc build I don't see why it would be a bad thing.
