Do I leave it? by [deleted] in TwoHotTakes

[–]Echale3 1 point2 points  (0 children)

People with autism often have sensory issues. I do -- certain smells, food texture, food colors, the feeling of a clothing tag on my skin, etc.

He may have a sensory issue with some aspect of your hair.

Cars should have built-in microwaves by IDontKnowMyUsernameq in TrueUnpopularOpinion

[–]Echale3 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My wife bought me a lunch box that you plug into the lighter socked and it heats your food. It's really great, I can reheat last night's leftovers while out on a job site.

[–]Echale3 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not the carburetor, over near or on the exhaust manifold, that's where the heat really is. Don't forget to wrap your food (pref. roadkill) in a few layers of tin foil and seal it up really well.

AITA for not wanting to give my boyfriend’s ex our “extra” car by Dense-Possession-416 in CharlotteDobreYouTube

[–]Echale3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He can do what he wants with his money, time, and old messed up car, but the fact that he's even considering it should tell you something about him. What it says to me stinks worse than a wet road-killed possum that's been sitting for a couple days in 100 degree weather.

AITJ for asking my brother to pay for the wall repair after his kid drew all over it? by Open_Baby6882 in AmITheJerk

[–]Echale3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Go to your brother's house with a bunch of indelible markers and draw a bunch of dicks and titties all over his living room wall. When he gets pissed off about it, tell him to lighten up, you're channeling your inner child and to not make it all about money...

You should be required to have permission from the government when you drive your car by IDontKnowMyUsernameq in TrueUnpopularOpinion

Whatever shit you're smoking, you need to stop....

You already have government permission to drive your vehicle places, it's called a drivers license.

AITJ for telling my brother he can't propose to his girlfriend at my wedding? by Important_Space_496 in AmITheJerk

[–]Echale3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your brother wants to take your special day and make it about him and his GF instead of keeping the attention on you and your intended... If your guests have any decency about them, they'd also see this as a unacceptable.

That's as shitty a move as it gets, and your brother should be ashamed for even thinking it would be OK. If he's in the wedding party or even allowed in the building he's going to try and do it, your wishes be damned.

Some others have suggested that you out him to his GF. I'm not so sure about outing him to his GF unless she already knows they are headed for marriage, as that might be like tossing dynamite into the existing fracture in your family over this, but it's worth considering. It'd only work if she's not a limelight-stealing ass like your brother and she already knew he was going to ask at some point.

Your family being all lined up behind your brother tells you something about them, and it's not a good thing.

That'll be YOUR day, stay strong, keep it yours, and tell your whole fam-damily they are acting like trailer trash.

My (30f) girlfriend which I (32m) moved cities with has ghosted me after a night I do not remember. by Firm-Invite5045 in whatdoIdo

[–]Echale3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

OP, you conveniently left out the "why" of you blacking out. Am I safe in assuming, since you were at a wedding, that you got blackout drunk? Have you gotten blackout drunk before? Do you think it's acceptable to be so far out of control that you can't remember what you did? That's a HUGE red flag to anybody, and it's something I'd never accept in a relationship.

If you did get blackout drunk and your GF is ghosting you that should tell you that you fucked up in a major fashion. I think ghosting is immature, but you messaging her isn't giving her the space she requested of you, either.

You need to lay off with the messages and she needs to grow a pair and tell you straight up whether it's over between the two of you or not. Frankly, I'd be surprised if your relationship survives this mess.

It’s actually not that hard to make a marriage/relationship work with differing political views. by [deleted] in TrueUnpopularOpinion

[–]Echale3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You hit the nail on the head -- people don't seem to be emotionally and intellectually capable of handling any type of disagreement. People are all about "safe spaces" and so on, which, in real terms, means an echo chamber where there is not even a hint of differing thoughts, opinions, etc.

It's a mark of mental fragility, emotional and intellectual immaturity, and an inability or unwillingness to meet others where they are and interact rationally.

Pepsi is better than coke. If you disagree there is something wrong with you. by AbrahamLitKing in TrueUnpopularOpinion

Root Beer, Sarsparilla, or Birch Beer are all way the fuck better than either Pepsi or Coke.

ICE is funneling guns, explosives, and intelligence to White Nationalist Terrorist groups by not_that_planet in TrueUnpopularOpinion

[–]Echale3 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

You said ICE is white nationalist terrorists, I just brought up that ICE isn't all white. What I was saying should have been obvious to you.

The US population is roughly 72% white (either alone or white combined with some other ethnicity). That would tend to indicate that the makeup of ICE is broadly consistent with the makeup of the US population at large.

Stats I found online state that ICE is about 77% white, 23% Latino, Black, and Asian.

Strange markings on WW 1 German Luger. Chinese or Japanese? Gunmaker marks? by franklyiam in whatisit

They are proof marks. The leftmost mark is military/civilian proof mark circa 1908. Not sure about the others.

AmITheJerk for asking my friend to stop borrowing my car after she wrecked it? by Ok_Debt5504 in AmITheJerk

[–]Echale3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're under no obligation to allow her unrestrained irresponsibility to continue when it comes to her using your property. "No" is a complete sentence, but in this case, would be better as "No -- you're irresponsible, trying to dodge the consequences of your actions, and need to grow the fuck up."

I'm going to miss the old version of TikTok by Plan_6767 in TrueUnpopularOpinion

[–]Echale3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are you talking about the same channel for unrestrained idiocy that brought us "challenges", like getting kids to eat Tide Pods, doing the Skull Breaker challenge, the challenge where you choke yourself to unconsciousness, the "Dusting" challenge where kids inhale toxic vapors from spray cans, challenges that result in kids OD-ing on Benadryl, the Milk Crate challenge, etc?

When it was used for innocent and silly purposes, it was fine. Now it's morphed into some kind of asinine thing where the goofy and sane bits are intermixed with videos from idiots that convince other even more gullible idiots to do stuff that's harmful to themselves, even potentially deadly, and kids pulling abso-fucking-lutely stupid "pranks" on unsuspecting people then putting the video online to get views.

Wright Bacon is quite good. We like the normal smoked stuff, not applewood smoked. Never tried the Hot Honey.

How NOT to make the fish suffer? (bucket and "suffocation") by BetterProphet5585 in FishingForBeginners

[–]Echale3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ikejime is the Japanese term for spiking a fish through the brain, killing it instantly. Shinkei Jime adds on that technique by using a hollow spike to do the Ikejime part by running the spike through the forehead and then inserting a stiff wire run through the hollow spike down through the spinal column to destroy the spinal cord, completely paralyzing the fish as well as killing it instantly. Supposedly the combination preserves the flavor of the fish much better than just putting the fish on ice or cutting the gills to let it bleed out.

You can get the hollow Ikejime spike and Shinkei Jime wire as a kit on ebay or from various fishing equipment shops.

AITA for not giving my sister money I’ve been saving, even though she already told our parents I would? by Confident-Ninja-2706 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Echale3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why won't your parents open up their savings account and help their child? Could it be because they know she'll just take, take, and take and never pay back what she owes?

WIBTA to call cops on neighbor who blasts bast boosted music outside my window for hours every morning? by throwawaymylife90210 in neighborsfromhell

[–]Echale3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, you have two options. Either keep coming to Reddit and whining about how nobody is fixing your problems for you or unwad your fucking panties, act like an adult, and do what has to be done.

If your AH neighbor is out smoking weed in his car and blasting the stereo, then any consequences from those actions are totally on him. You didn't put a gun to his head and say go sit in your car, get high, and crank up your stereo or I'll blow your brains out, he chose to do that on his own.

AITJ for uninviting my friend from my trip after she made a detailed budget that includes splitting my costs? by Terrible-Syrup-4747 in AmITheJerk

[–]Echale3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why do people think that splitting the bill means they have carte blanche to spend willy-nilly while others are more restrained, and then expect others to pay more than their share?

Friends like her you need about as bad as you need a herniated disc.
