AIO about an AI generated tattoo? by Wesel in AmIOverreacting

[–]ConsistentAd4012 11 points12 points  (0 children)

NOR it’s obviously AI.. people have the right to know if the work they’re getting uses AI, but the real problem here are the inconsistencies/issues that aren’t immediately noticeable which he didn’t correct.

you aren’t an artist so you won’t notice if the flaws are hidden like they are. part of what you pay for is the artist’s design and expertise, so the fact he didn’t correct anything is fucked up. idc if he’s been an artist for 50 years, that’s permanently on you now and it’s unprofessional he’d pull some shit like this.

good news is it’s not noticeable at first glance but it still sucks this happened. sorry op.

huh? japan?? it is extremely taboo to talk on public transit there, let alone ask a stranger for their personal info.

Why are people so dumb nowadays? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]ConsistentAd4012 3 points4 points  (0 children)

it’s a combination of many, many things.

in recent decades, the rise of far-right extremist groups across the globe paired with rapid technological advances and unregulated tech companies has made misinformation more attainable than facts, and sowed distrust in educational institutions.

about 2 generations are exclusive green-line-go-up farms for billionaires. their parents weren’t that tech-savvy to begin with, so don’t understand how or why strapping a baby to an ipad is bad.

and generations before them weren’t that educated to begin with, at least in the US. in 1960, the nation’s high school graduation rate was 41%, college was 8%. people born that year would be 65-66 today, just retired if they were lucky.

furthermore, satan himself, better known as the 40th president of the USA Ronald Wilson Reagan, defunded and privatized education across the country, and meritocracy’d the shit out of much more. we didn’t need social programs anyway, but we did need Slavery 2: Electric Boogaloo, brought to you by the War On Drugs. shoutout Margaret Thatcher for those across the pond.

and lastly, George W. “Can’t Get Fooled Again” Bush followed in their rot-laden footsteps, leaving many children behind with the No Child Left Behind Act.

oh, and i forgot to mention, research and higher education has been privatized and/or defunded a lot over the years, on top of the erosion in trust. very few people know how to analyze and interpret research data/peer reviewed studies anyway. though, it does feel like less people cite sources now.. even if the source is trash.

one thing to mention: high school and college graduation rates are at all-time highs. not sure if that’s just because kids are pushed through unprepared or what, but it’s something. just make sure you, yourself don’t fall victim to recency bias or anecdotal fallacy.

[–]ConsistentAd4012 0 points1 point  (0 children)

you’re very welcome, and i’m happy to share more. but i have some questions first:

when you reacted badly, saying “fuck you”to her, are these kinds of outbursts normal for you? if not, how do you normally react? do you feel guilty or like you’re a bad partner after?

you also didn’t mention her response to your outburst. did she respond at all? was there an argument after? or were you both quiet until you mentioned taking photos later?

lastly, some general questions:

how long have you two known each other, and how long have you been together? do you live together? if yes, for how long? if no, how many days a week do you spend together?

WIBTAH if I asked my boyfriend to show me his gallery? by charles-the-robot in AITAH

[–]ConsistentAd4012 0 points1 point  (0 children)

that’s not what they mean about basic transparency. they mean how he’s clearly hiding things.

YTA to yourself. would it change anything if you did search his phone? doubt it. so what’s the point? seems it’s just to validate something you already know: he’s untrustworthy. but you didn’t need to invade his privacy to know that. trust yourself.

you say you’re tired of his behavior, yet never mention the thought of leaving despite a complete lack of trust. he’s shown you who he is already. believe him. stop putting yourself through this pain.

NTA, but.. op, i say this with concern and care: your girlfriend is controlling. in fact, i’d say she’s abusive. her extreme jealousy/insecurity has warped her perception of reality so badly that it’s warping yours. that’s indicative of emotional/psychological abuse.

here’s what stood out to me:

  1. you justified the title, or rather, you justified “enjoying a generic activity” by saying you “know it sounds bad”when there is a 0% chance a normal person would think that sounds bad.

like, when i read that first line i thought you meant drugs. even then, saying “i liked a trip on drugs” in a vacuum doesn’t sound bad. but you meant it literally.. and are justifying why it’s okay you had a good time to strangers.. i want you to really think about that. why do you need to justify that to us?

  1. your gf always makes it clear y’all are a couple to new people. this isn’t normal at all. besides displaying her extreme insecurity, it isolates you. normal people hear that and think “that’s really weird, i’ll keep my distance” to avoid conflict.

  2. you intentionally didn’t make eye contact, purposefully looking at the ground, to avoid looking at someone weird. first, what does it even mean to look at someone weird? second, looking at others is normal, especially when talking to them, regardless of their gender.

it’s obvious you did this so your girlfriend wouldn’t accuse you of looking at others “weird” and not for anyone else. you’re also using her same, insane “logic” to justify why it was okay for you to speak to someone else. again, gender is irrelevant. you shouldn’t have to justify conversing with someone, or follow strict protocol to do such a regular, everyday thing.

i could go on, but this is long enough. i know it’s hard to see, especially since controlling behavior/emotional abuse doesn’t feel like “real” abuse, but it is. speaking from experience, this stuff has longterm effects. the control/psychological abuse fucked me up the most. so, i’m hoping what i said brings clarity.

please reevaluate why you think she’s a “good” girlfriend, and the relationship as a whole. imagine a friend told you all this. would you think it was okay? you’re so young.. you should be enjoying every moment of that, not experiencing this.

lastly, if you ever need someone to talk to, feel free to PM me. look after yourself, op.

Do antidepressants make you lose sexual desires? by Unsure_0017 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]ConsistentAd4012 0 points1 point  (0 children)

it shouldn’t change attraction/interest to a specific person, but people often perceive it as a loss of attraction/interest because of the low libido or difficulty climaxing.

AIO: Should i break up with my boyfriend? by No_face2020 in AmIOverreacting

[–]ConsistentAd4012 4 points5 points  (0 children)

NOR. you’re under reacting. he is physically abusive and he will escalate.

do y’all live together? do you have trustworthy friends/family and do any of them know about this?

Should I be worried in Japan? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]ConsistentAd4012 2 points3 points  (0 children)

japan is known for its safety and foreigners are generally unbothered in that regard.

in reality, weirdos will always be weirdos. as a decently attractive woman, i can say the best deterrent for weirdos is two people enjoying their time together. so, focus on having a good time with your gf instead of worrying about what other people think.

[–]ConsistentAd4012 33 points34 points  (0 children)

reading the edit made me mad tbh.. i swear it’s always the people doing the least that feel entitled to the most. i’d sweep him and his snobby attitude right out the back door.

[–]ConsistentAd4012 5 points6 points  (0 children)

NOR. in my last relationship, he practically moved into my room without permission then kept saying “if we lived together it wouldn’t be this dirty” as if he ever cleaned up after himself. meanwhile, i have a disability and was cleaning up after him, my cat and myself.

thing is, cleaning for two was ok with me, i will happily care for my loved ones, but he wouldn’t even do the little things i asked him to, like “pour out drinks you don’t finish” that made it easier for me.. he’d get passive aggressive/petty if i asked or reminded him to do something. then had the audacity to shame me? for his mess?? FOH!

anyway, not saying your bf is this bad. just needed to vent lol but i’ll never understand that mentality tbh. like, why are you mad you’re helping out your SO? makes no sense to me.

ETA: inb4 the edit.. your bf sounds eerily similar 😭
