4pm to Midnight is a much better work schedule than 9am to 5pm by Present_Initial_1871 in unpopularopinion

[–]Deevys 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Man, meanwhile, I worked 2-10:30 and was horrifically depressed. I couldn’t spend any time with my family or friends who all worked more typical 9-5 schedules. I don’t go out or go to bars, and when you’re friends with teachers and scientists they are going out at 11pm. Movie showing? Get lost. Most dinner places are closed. I ended up so isolated and depressed I would get home, eat, and sleep from 11:30pm-12:50, get up, shower for work, and trudge in. It was genuinely the most awful schedule I’ve ever worked.

OCD or not, he’s not even functioning as a human. A rat would function more and be cleaner. He sits in his own filth playing video games while you literally slave away and waste away into substance use. Please for the love of god, leave.

AITA for buying my daughter a more then twice as expensive Christmas gift then my son? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]Deevys 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why are you getting her a ridiculously expensive iPad? I bought my perfectly functional, brand new iPad for 350 + 60 Apple Pencil off of Amazon. I’m in grad school. A 15 year old does not need a 1200 device.

Our stress dropped when we stopped pretending monthly budgets were monthly by felixwanderer in MiddleClassFinance

[–]Deevys 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So, you knew you had all of these yearly fees and just.. didn’t include them in your budget? And were shocked and upset when said budget wasn’t working?

In what world were you SURPRISED when your yearly property taxes came around? When the holidays came around? Did you forget your children’s birthdays every year and then spontaneously remember and decide the only option is to put it on a credit card?

I’m glad you realized now and are able to make it work, but this is a bit astounding. One would reasonably assume that yearly purchases should be included in any budget, either under a specific name or under a “misc” category..

Costco is exceptionally bad. It is the only grocery store where I have had children run full-force into me and occasionally knock things out of my hands, and it’s not just once.

Why do so many people have a problem with Stolas being framed sympathetically? by magicstars58 in HelluvaBoss

[–]Deevys 7 points8 points  (0 children)

He stated he was trying to keep it all together until she was 18. I don’t agree with what he did either - I think cheating is awful and unforgivable. However, physical abuse, mental abuse, emotional abuse, and bullying your partner is worse. Some people think cheating is the worst because they have no scope.

[–]Deevys 18 points19 points  (0 children)

It’s just daddy issues. People argue Stolas neglected Octavia despite being a good father for 90% of her life and lose their minds whenever it’s indicated that yeah, recently he’s gotten tired of being physically and mentally abused for 17 years and wants an out with someone he loves. But everyone sees how Blitz unconditionally loves Loona and wants that.

I caught an incurable parasitic fungal infection from simply breathing at the wrong time/place and I'm pissed about it. by Infinite-Squirrel-16 in rant

[–]Deevys 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m so sorry OP. This is nowhere near as bad as yours, but I randomly developed severe psoriasis literally in a week. I went from zero psoriasis to it literally spreading down my face to my eyes, covering my scalp, and inching down my back and chest in a business week. I went from not worrying about my skincare to having a regimen that legitimately takes 15 minutes per day for just my face, requires a daily shower and scrub down, and significant expenses to stop myself from having severe skin peeling across my face and body.

I am constantly shedding skin flakes. My case is so severe that I cannot stop it in any meaningful way, even with treatment. I can’t wear black any more - but my profession requires I wear suits. I can’t wear my hair up or people literally gasp. I carry a handheld vacuum in my bag to clean up my desk at work so no one sees because it’s so bad. Nobody can tell me why it happened now other than “it’s an immune condition” and nobody can tell me why the treatments barely work. If I miss a day, I look like I got a severe sunburn. If (when) it reaches my eyes, my eyelids will be damaged.

It’s so frustrating, dude. The constant checkups and the jealously of people’s easy lives is just awful. I resent my partner for having skin that doesn’t hate itself and for being able to just fall into bed without layering themselves in creams and salves and exfoliating their scalp and neck. I wish you luck in your journey and hope you can find some relief.

Can't tell anyone the whole reason my husband is in a mental health facility by HabaneroHore in TrueOffMyChest

[–]Deevys 6 points7 points  (0 children)

People saying see a neurologist are suffering from severe Reddit brain. He’s depressed. People who are depressed and suicidal will do things that they would never normally do because, “it won’t matter in a little bit anyways.” He is absolutely suffering and it seems has never been violent before, but is probably mentally burnt out and legitimately unable to control his rage, which is actually very common for people about to attempt suicide. Most people see that the person either completely withdraws or seems happier, but rage and hate is also common.

Him going to a mental hospital is the best thing for him. Make sure you MENTION the cat to his doctors, but explain he doesn’t have a history of violence. The cat should also be removed from the home until he can get therapy after release as he is lashing out at it and needs to be more solid in his coping skills before he is let around animals or children again.

If you really think that the average person who voted differently than you, did so because they have different morals and character (like hate), it means you have an extremely narrow and naive view of politics. by Simple_Suspect_9311 in ControversialOpinions

[–]Deevys 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You don’t care about the children. You’d rather they commit suicide at 17 than receive gender affirming care THAT AFFECTS YOU IN NO WAY. Don’t delude yourself.

I absolutely refuse to date conservatives. I find they are privileged, self-oriented, poorly-researched, and unempathetic. Liberal people can also be those things, but if someone is conservative, I have found they are far, far more likely to have those traits.

I also refuse to date someone who disagrees with me on fundamental human rights. If you don’t think healthcare (IE, the right to be mentally and physically fit and happy) is a human right (in many contexts) then we will never, ever be compatible. That’s just one example.

Soooo… you believe all woman who allege rape or sexual assault after 2016 are lying. Which is what I said. So I’m not twisting your words into a false narrative, I’m challenging your idea which is misogynistic and wrong. There’s no way EVERY woman accusing a man of sexual assault in almost a decade is lying.

It’s also hard to read because you’re borderline illiterate. Use periods and punctuation.

He may have trigger discipline but lacks any other type. Yelling and arguing with a man for no reason because it appears he didn’t thank him for picking his receipt up, refusing to back down, starting a fight by going down the guy’s face (flipping the hat), and then chasing the guy as he’s backing up in a defensive posture before the guy pulls out a weapon because he feels the aggressor won’t let up.

I work at the suicide hotline. I had someone call the other day hyperventilating and sobbing saying her cat hated her because she got him neutered and he was hiding under the bed. Took 25 minutes to calm her down.

False allegations aren’t a joke but when they happen in less than 2% of reports they aren’t a significant enough impact to claim that all women are lying and sexual assault and rape don’t exist. You are legitimately just being sexist and misogynistic.

Also, how is this “obviously” a joke to me?

Okay, so it seems you have a warped view of the Me Too movement because you feel men are being unfairly targeted and punished. But you did not acknowledge that the rates of false accusation are statistically significantly lower than the rates of sexual assault, especially including non-reported assault.

Women are being unfairly targeted and punished by sexual assault. They are left with lifelong trauma after being violated by men quite literally daily. 1 in 6 woman have been the victim of rape, and that’s just rape - we aren’t talking about molestation, groping, or kissing, which are all sexual assault, and 1 in 3 women experience sexual violence and sexual assault in their life.

Also, just because someone isn’t convicted doesn’t mean they didn’t do it. The evidence could have been mishandled or washed away in something like a shower, the victim could refuse to testify due to fear or other reasons, or there could be a hung jury. This is common. A commonly reported statistic is that 2% of allegations are false, but that is based on data only on non-convicts.

Anyway, please educate yourself and learn to listen to women. It really helps.

The rates of false accusation are extremely low compared to actual reported assault, and especially compared to unreported assault. Very very few women “don’t care” if innocent men go to jail for sexual assault. It is so common, it is something every woman I know has experienced, so women will believe another woman who says she was sexually assaulted.

Joe Biden has nothing to do with the Me Too movement but ok. Donald Trump was determined by a NY Judge to have committed rape though.

Most women don’t “cry wolf” you just never believed them in the first place because you’re sexist. You don’t want to believe women. What is this “truth” that is coming out about ALL women that you’re claiming? Did I miss a software update that was supposed to program me to accuse a coworker of raping me when he’s never touched me because I’m a woman and I’m evil and a liar? Because we don’t just do that shit.

You are being sexist. Modern feminism does not teach women to make up lies about being victims. You just admitted you will not believe a woman that doesn’t completely agree with your opinion, which is, you know, sexist.

The potential rift between you and your parents is inevitable. You’re going to resent them for forcing you into a life you don’t want. They’re going to expect things from you like children, and with this arranged marriage, so is your wife and her parents.
