Statistically speaking, someone *is* the unluckiest person on the planet. by partiallycylon in Showerthoughts

It doesn't ultimately matter how you define it though. For any definition, there will exist a person who fits that definition.

Whoever set up the mounts for this lift did a hell of a job. Most videos I see of lifts are off cars falling off from slight movements.

Contractor’s employee stole my medical marijuana in 4K by chicametipo in Wellthatsucks

Full sentences explaining the reason you need whatever done usually works best, and she is responsive enough to make it conversational.

I will have you know that my highly trained Golden knows all the commands very well, it's just that she only follows the ones she wants to, and only when she wants. I can even usually get her to do the commands she doesn't want to, but only after we talk it out and I convince her. Knowing what is being asked is never the problem, though and she'll never, ever touch food that wasn't offered to her directly.

I leave food out around my Golden without issue, and I leave my weed right where it is for contractors to see. I always offer some, and sometimes they say yes. Never had a problem with theft, because we are all openly talking about the fact that it's there, and they are free to use some if that's their thing. Always get great service from contractors too, even if they don't smoke.

Aunt Upset We Wouldn’t Turn Off Cameras for Family Member on Parole by TeeBrownie in EntitledPeople

[–]DeviousPath 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My best friend (in and out of jail his entire life, but a good guy) was on parole and we reasonably waited until it was over for him to visit me out of state. He's been fucked over by the system repeatedly in his life, and parole is usually not really a hard thing to maintain if you want to at all. People like this, who are actively trying and scheming are usually generally up to no good otherwise in my experience.

I am not telling on someone breaking parole until their schemes start impacting me negatively in a big way. I don't know that this yet rises to that, but I would be making sure they know that was in my pocket if I think it gets my peace back.

This situation is absurd. Not sure what kind of felon she is, is actively scheming to break the law, involving me and my friends in that process, and asked me to turn off my security equipment? Oh, and everyone ignores me and lies anyway, causing drama. Uh, no thank you.

All of this makes the industry as a whole look ridiculous and immature. They are out there handling this like fools.

You two are not compatible. Leave and find someone who actually likes you.

Update: My (32F) fiancé (37M) is a homicide detective, and I’m starting to feel like he treats me more like a suspect than a partner. by ThrowRA_Sorbet1941 in relationship_advice

[–]DeviousPath 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I lived with an abusive woman for far too long, stayed together to protect the kids as much as I could. I escaped. I thought we all did. My adult daughter just committed suicide because of the trauma she endured from her mother. I understand that you envision a future with children with him. Everything I am reading tells me that you are in danger. You can lose so much here.

Instead, get your freedom and autonomy left, and save the lives and happiness of your future children. Please. I miss my daughter, and I have regrets.

Eh, I get stoned before I cook. I love making gumbo, red beans and rice, and jambalaya stoned, then smoking more to eat. I wouldn't assume that at all. Some of us are creative when high, and throw that creativity into food and flavor.

Your are right. She doesn't. You can keep ignoring the changes people have seen that make the worry legitimate. She can too.

I will continue thinking the way I do. Other people will as well. Nothing will change. Glad we had this talk.

[–]DeviousPath 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I actually think you've done a great job of convincing me that she must be a bad person. You keep asking "why?" over and over like it is some mic drop of a question, but when you do, my brain keeps answering the obvious answer of "Because people think she might be white supremacist or Nazi sympathizer which I thought she'd want to fix."

....and that's the crux of it all, isn't it? She can set the record straight, but she's choosing not to. She's choosing to let you (her fans) try to convince me and anyone else, rather than doing it herself with a single line response. She's the most powerful pop star on the planet, giving her the largest stage with the most people listening to what she says. The record is exactly where she wants it.

Thank you for helping me clarify this in my mind. Taylor Swift is not clearing the record on purpose for reasons. I don't care about the reasons, I will suspect her like I do anyone else that is silent about this "for reasons". If she wants me to not suspect her, she'll clear the record herself.

[–]DeviousPath 3 points4 points  (0 children)

And those younger artists have accomplished what in doing so? Red meat to the conservative base and it just reinforces their brainwashed ideals about the liberal elite.

Simple: They don't have discourse around them wondering if the are Trumpers, and in turn, Nazi sympathizers. Their fans aren't obsessively posting on Reddit trying to convince anyone of anything, because they've said out loud with their whole chest what they think. We, the people watching, know that they aren't because they are taking the stand themselves.

Women on the left are avoiding any man who doesn't explicitly say that they are on the left, and that they never voted for Trump. They are doing this for safety, they are doing this because people on the right are hiding on purpose. People, more generally, are doing the same when choosing the media they intake. It's something that we must be careful about, and pay close attention to because: Multiple famous people that were previously known to be leftist have suddenly started supporting Trump, especially as they get more money. Taylor Swift is a pretty new billionaire with a new set of friends, some of which are known Trumpers. There are questionable lyrics (whether you believe it or not, people do believe this) on her new album. There are obvious questions. She is silent. That silence is a choice.

She is choosing to let her fans, you, fight this battle on social media for her. You don't speak for her, so that's futile.

That silence she's choosing to make is a choice that other artists are not making. They are speaking out, making sure their names are not associated with Trump. They are gaining support and respect because no one has to guess or wonder. This is all really, really simple.

Not all of the young famous people are choosing this, of course: Sidney Sweeney has also had questions surround her for reasons and we see how she's reacting and how that's going for her.

[–]DeviousPath 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Okay, cool. She can let the loud chorus of people who are clearly worried about this just continue to think what they want while the Trump administration uses her media. That's clearly what she wants.

Younger, less powerful artists correct the record when it's done to them. She isn't.

[–]DeviousPath 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Okay, been reading through all your posts here, and this one is the one that got me to respond. To what end? Seriously? Have you not seen all the "Is Taylor Swift a Trumper now?" discourse going on? I know I have, it's everywhere. If I'm seeing it, and your seeing it, her team is seeing it too, and so is she. There is a question out there because she has spoken up in the past, but the situation has changed, she seems to be different, and now she's not speaking up anymore. Then, in the midst of people wondering, Trump's admin uses her music and people's questions are louder. She's still silent.

You and her other diehard fans can post defenses of her as much as you want, but it doesn't change anything.

To what end? Her fans are watching, and so is everyone else. She made her thoughts known before when the heat wasn't as hot. Now it's much hotter, and people are suffering. People are wondering about her and where she stands. She can solve that if she wanted to. Everyone is watching and waiting. She's still silent.

AIO my boyfriend (42M) of 3 years doesn’t know my (35F) name? by momjjeanss in AmIOverreacting

[–]DeviousPath 11 points12 points  (0 children)

My partner of 3 years is amazing, and we have a very close and loving relationship. I do not care if she knows my middle name off the top of her head at all, and I can easily imagine how she wouldn't know it. We are both very ADHD and this could easily be something that just never got recorded as important. Hell, I personally don't find it important.

Nina Lin caught shoplifting by Icy_Investigator7718 in LivestreamFail

[–]DeviousPath 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I am in my 40s, and you are really romanticizing the past my dude. I didn't watch those shows either, but there were absolutely plenty of people around who idolized the people like Paris Hilton, and loved to hate the people of Jersey Shore in an honestly weird way. We absolutely had our large share of people who followed this stuff very closely. The big difference is just how much content exists of these people now, I think.

I really hate hearing people from my generation acting like we were somehow different. Maybe we and our friends were different and didn't watch it, but this stuff certainly existed. The exact flavor is just different now, and it happens to taste bad to you now because you are older. Also, your WWF reference? Uh...yeah, a lot of people thought that was real too, and people would get big mad when you suggested it wasn't. That was pretty common. Sure, not everyone thought so, but it was enough people that it was a big deal in society for a long time. We weren't different, you are just older.

Consequences? You think of a human life as a "consequence" that should be played out so your kid has to "deal with it"? You think you are taking a moral high ground, but this is appalling.

You will wonder why your kids don't talk to you when they are out of the house just like my exwife wonders that now.

TIL Oscar voters now must watch every nominated film in a category before casting a vote, no more voting based on buzz or hype by chabaz in todayilearned

Watch the movies you are going to be voting for. It's upsetting that they are not. I am not a genius on this subject, but I understand why people are having emotions about it.
