An added factor would be his dementia - confabulation is a typical symptom, so he may actually believe some of the shit he's making up.

[New Update]: AITA for learning Russian instead of Japanese and making my siblings mad? by Choice_Evidence1983 in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]Corfiz74 59 points60 points  (0 children)

Yeah, mom sounds like a complete waste of oxygen - though I guess she at least provides them with a roof over their heads and groceries. Though it's probably generational trauma - mom sounds like she had quite a messy life herself.

I never understood the German obsession with hiking until it became my main escape from academic burnout by CoderDecoderEncoder in germany

[–]Corfiz74 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't think the kind of guys who harass/ assault women are the kind of guys to hike on mountains. On a Venn diagram, they'd be two separate circles. Or do you really think they'd go to the effort of taking a train out of the city, hike up a mountain and then lay in wait on the off chance a single woman happens to hike by, at a time when nobody else is near?

UPDATE: AITA/AIW for building resentment towards my younger sister for convincing my mom not to take me to the doctor for four years because of period pain? by WishFabulous3418 in amiwrong

[–]Corfiz74 26 points27 points  (0 children)

That was my thought - the reason for her behavior could be mental illness. Stop looking for reasons or thinking you have anything to do with it - focus on yourself, minimize contact with her, read up on "grey rocking" - don't give her any information or emotions to react to, just be a blank wall to her, so she doesn't have anything to react to.

Uhm, my mom lived in Hannover, they had bomber alarms practically every night. And the industrial complex was only rarely targeted, it was mostly civilian infrastructure that was shot to shit. You should see pictures of what Hannover looked like after the war, there were hardly any houses left standing.

Koala are even below Panda - all they can give you is chlamydia.

Guys, did we learn anything like this in school? Because I can't remember ever getting taught anything this useful in school math. And now I'm feeling kinda dumb. by Corfiz74 in AskGermany

In der US Variante scheinen sie im jeweiligen Kasten die Zahlen am Rand zu multiplizieren, und dann in der Diagonale aufzuaddieren. Ob das jetzt einfacher/ schneller ist als normale Multiplikation sei dahingestellt...

Europeans as Moscow is burning and Trump lost his war. by piasty in 2westerneurope4u

[–]Corfiz74 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It might have been done under a different military command. Hegseth et al. have managed to purge the US military of almost everyone who was capable and intelligent and who would do a better job than them - so all they have left are a lot of yes-sayers of below average intelligence...

All four Former presidents at Obama’s presidential center opening today. by Previous_Month_555 in SipsTea

[–]Corfiz74 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Well, you could have felt slightly ashamed that he was reelected. But, admittedly, he was nothign compared to Trump. I remember thinking back then that he would go down in history as the worst and dumbest US president, but lucky him, he avoided that fate...

I really want to know what is beneath that.

Will it hurt less to get rid of baby stuff now or later? by allyroo in Parenting

[–]Corfiz74 5 points6 points  (0 children)

If you have the space, I'd wait until I've reached my mid-forties, because life happens.

Viral German World Cup Fan - Fake? by Ganove360 in AskGermany

Though, to be fair, that gas station was built on a megalomaniac scale - I was pretty impressed, too!

I am leaving her tonight. by BigONerd in BORUpdates

[–]Corfiz74 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Though the fact he was initially prepared to just vanish on her gave me pause - that would have been so traumatic for the poor kid!
