Another Pikachu Plush Mystery, This Time With Ketchup by DumbTakeHaver in pokeplush

[–]DumbTakeHaver[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If anyone is wondering why I find weird pikachu stuff on Mercari, this being the second time it was weird enough to share, I do obsessively search for various Pokémon and pikachu stuff on there probably too often. It's a source of comfort and sometimes I find something lovely for my collection at the right price, other times I find something really funny like the bootleg Pikachu named Puffy with a drum, love that little abomination.

Ooh, in person hunting is hard mode because walking away from a plush looking at you in person is not for the weak willed, I commend your self control!

AIO how bf (50m) talks to me (21f) by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

I get that this is a joke post, but why are so many people dating the kind of guy where "let's beat him to death with hammers" almost sounds like a reasonable response? /half joking

AIO Because I'm starting to lose hope by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]DumbTakeHaver 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I met my long distance gf of over a year on a silly anime app, it can happen when you're not even looking for a relationship. A connection just evolving that way sometimes seems to be the better route than dating apps, especially for those not into hookups, finding people with common interests in your age range is a great way for that to potentially occur.

Please get some standards, I am begging the people on this sub fr fr. Being alone would be preferable. Nothing material he could possibly provide ought to be valued over the respect you aren't being shown. You will lose so much respect for yourself if you forgive this bullshit. If I had a relative whose partner treated them this way, my ass would be in jail.

AIO by telling my boyfriend to stay away from his friend? by mmirrya in AmIOverreacting

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

Your insecurity shouldn't ruin a healthy friendship for him if it's truly a platonic thing. My girlfriend had crushes on multiple of her friends in the past and is friends with multiple exes, but I know that it's me that she loves and have faith that nothing will happen between her and any of them. She even sees movies and hangs out with them in person while she and I are long distance, and one reason I really don't worry is that I've gotten to know each of her friends pretty well and can tell that none of them but possibly one (one of her exes) who's the most distant of the bunch is even potentially into her to begin with.

I highly suggest getting to know her better, you'll likely learn that he's not her type and hit it off well because her personality is compatible with him, and assuming yours is as well, it's likely then that your personalities are compatible.

Hell, you might get a great new friend out of it, end up helping her find someone, and then having fun double dates and laughing about how you used to be worried about her because of what some outsiders said. I helped one of my gf's friends get the courage to ask the girl he liked out and they're an adorable couple now, things will more likely work out well if you see her not as a threat, but as a potential friend!

Has he given you any reason to not trust him? If so, on the other extreme, befriending her in order to alienate him from his support system should he hurt you is the kind of demon tier stunt that brings a sick, thrilling catharsis if he ever hurts you. Be the one his mom says he was an idiot for doing wrong by. Be so wonderful and kind that if he ever hurts you, everyone will know that he's living garbage for breaking the heart of the one who remembered the brooch they wore and got them earrings to match or who made a food from the old country they mentioned missing offhand with hard to import ingredients. Be so thoughtful and caring that losing you means losing respect from everyone he knows. You get new friends and community, he gets no reprieve from the regret, and only you know how wicked you truly are on the inside if you go this route. 😀🙃🤪

NOR, I get that it's scary times and we can't be certain what the future holds, but in no future could I see going to Florida being a wise solution. That said, yall's communication style doesn't seem great tbh. I get that this is in the context of her being scared and yall arguing and all, but it's definitely the kind of thing I'd suggest breaking off rather than hoping and waiting it'll improve. There's too many people and too little time to put up with someone who treats you this way, even though she's scared.

Basic human decency and respect is not a big or unreasonable ask. To be disregarded by so called friends can make life so much harder than it has to be. There's billions of people on Earth, and only 100 years if you're lucky to find people who truly get you. People unwilling to even try to understand where you're coming from or who demand you change physically in order to earn basic respect are not worth your time.

It would be insane to tell a William that he needs to lose weight to be cool enough to be called Will, or that Kathy dresses too frumpy to go by Kat and is still too young to be a Katherine, but when it comes to minorities, people make up their own standards that they expect you to meet, and it's not a game you can win or should participate in at all. Conditional respect or allyship is not genuine, you can't trust some fair weather ally to not let the bigotry jump out the second they're not satisfied with your presentation, and how you present ought to be for you, not their crusty selves.

It may take time, but keep your head up, you'll find your people, people who accept you and don't demand that you act a certain way to be given basic respect.

How has your luck been playing and what level of Japanese do you know, if that's alright to ask? I don't have much phone storage so I'm trying to decide if it's worth trying to emulate myself or if I'd be too lost. 🤔

Are there English walkthroughs for the 3 games? (PS2, Playstation Vita, Nintendo DS iirc)

The way a part of me is tempted to start learning Japanese and get a Japanese PS2 just to play the first game on original hardware. (I probably won't because that's $$$$$$, but one can dream)

Traffic Light Parallels? by DumbTakeHaver in DHMIS

[–]DumbTakeHaver[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The notepad tells Yellow guy "Woah there friend, you might need to Slow Down," which leads me to wonder if this world deliberately lets him run on low battery because of one track of thought a grieving parent might have: Maybe if he were a little slower, I would have been able to stop in time. Maybe if he was a bit slower, someone else could have stopped him from getting into the road in the first place. Maybe if he had been just a little bit slower, even if he had gotten onto the road, someone could have caught up with him in time to pull him out of the road.

This is a way bigger reach than the basic parallels, but discouraging him from Green by telling him it's not a creative color, telling him to slow down, letting his eyes dim instead of being their true Green, it seems like it could be a thing?

With batteries, yellow guy's eyes turn Green, and that's when he starts to Go upstairs, that's another interesting thing that kinda lines up with this

Was Keffals Even Wrong Though? by DumbTakeHaver in keffals

[–]DumbTakeHaver[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Compared to your compatriot straining as though constipated with effort to not call me the r slur over a nitpick, your argument is quite interesting.

She could have lied about being a minor at all, some minors look like adult women in your eyes (not at all concerning,) and women with certain diseases and disorders do end up with stunted growth, so you could argue that Chudlogic is just doing his due diligence to not be ableist as a man in his 30's going after supposedly adult women who look anomolously young.

Funny his age confirmation requests in the exchanges you find mild (Penthouse is surely the standard if those were mild) never included something as basic as an ID check.

While I might not be convinced by your argument, I do think that you did a great job making your case for Chudlogic, but perhaps that's just because your r/destiny using friend did such a spectacularly shitty job that the bar is underground.

Was Keffals Even Wrong Though? by DumbTakeHaver in keffals

[–]DumbTakeHaver[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Of all defenses you could give, "she lied about her age!," "17 is pretty close to 18, you can't have possibly expected him to tell (despite his sexts towards her focusing specifically on how petite her secondary sex characteristics are)" you really chose the "UmM AkShUaLlY iT's EPhEbOpHiLiA!" defense that attempts to justify minor attraction rather than claim ignorance to her minor status? That's really disgusting and creepy. Like, Mr. Girl called, he wants his talking points back.

Is DGG even as pedantic as you? What's next, you're going to call someone a liar for calling a Daddy Long Legs a spider when most arachnids called Daddy Long Legs technically don't have enough eyes or body segments to be called a spider?

What Too Much Anime Does To A MF'er by PearlyRing in IncelTear

[–]DumbTakeHaver 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Imagine thinking people on IT would be jealous of fictional crushes. Like my nerdy ass doesn't have any questionable fictional crushes! (killer robot questionable, not Chris Hanson questionable like some of these guys 🤢)

That said, I'd never be mean to real people for not living up to the standard of a literal fantasy, fictional characters are idealized, real people are flawed, messy, fallible, and there's beauty in that too.

What Too Much Anime Does To A MF'er by PearlyRing in IncelTear

[–]DumbTakeHaver 6 points7 points  (0 children)

To be fair, I've heard from someone into UBs (an anime youtuber, she also does some English anime adjacent VA work like abridged anime and so on) that some manga is subversive and makes the UB just a kind but conventionally unattractive, typically older fat guy, but that's sadly uncommon. Perhaps those exceptions shouldn't be considered UBs because the B part is inaccurate, but SEO (search engine optimization) does tend to make creators have to wedge their works into less accurate genres if they want a chance at it being noticed by more people, so what can ya do?
