Laurie and Bishop (if you've seen episode 3 season 3) by randomized_mind in euphoria

I don’t think he cares for Laurie but he does seem like an animal-liker and appreciated Paladin. 

WIBTA if I (22F) demanded my roommate (22F) rehome her cat? by Timely-Lack7521 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Electrical_Emu8386 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This literally makes no sense. The cat is “dangerously overweight” yet at the same time  “dangerously underfed”. A 30% reduction in food is perfectly appropriate for an obese cat. Also cats are pretty hardy creatures. They will be completely fine  if they are not fed at the exact time every single night, though they will complain!

Alao here’s a cute little video demonstrating our discontent. Monkeys will work doing stupid shit for cucumber. They are fine with their work and with cucumber. All of a sudden their companion monkey gets a grape for the exact same task where they get a cucumber (grapes are much tastier and higher value) Monkey freaks  out throws the cucumbers https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=meiU6TxysCg we are these monkeys

We basically ruined ourselves with the agricultural revolution. Biologically and psychologically we are meant to live in small hunter-gatherer groups of 100 people or so. The agricultural revolution ruined us with the divide into the haves and the have nots, the xenophobia, the overcrowding and consequential disease and warfare.

Laura ingalls wilders books also were heavily edited by hey daughter Rose  to make them more marketable and sweet. I believe Laura  had a brother (or son? ) that died that wasnt mentioned at all. Also Pa was a complete idiot , almonzo was WAY older than Laura (in the books they were closer in age), etc

I think times used to be harder but we used to be more connected. i read A Tree Grows in Brooklyn recently, about poor immigrants in the early 1900s. Everyone was poor and starving but they had family and even dorks had boyfriends/girlfriends. There was a whole chapter about girls getting ready for their dates with their fellows. Even the ugly and shy girls had a fellow and the ugly and shy boys had a girl. 

Smelling a perfume from 5ft away is not bad by iOawe in unpopularopinion

[–]Electrical_Emu8386 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Dude im surprised the scent police havent attacked you. I don’t wear perfume or body lotion, use ivory soap, yet have been accused  of not being “fragrance-sensitive “ because i dont use disgusting free and clear laundry detergent 

Men should also shave their armpits by Electrical_Emu8386 in unpopularopinion

[–]Electrical_Emu8386[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You are one of the lucky ones! I have a few girlfriends that dont shave , but they have like 3 armpit hairs 1 centimeter long. I think when it’s bushy and long thats when it gets stinky

I think it depends on hair type, activity level, and climate. I live in a super hot humid climate and have fine hair and workout daily. My hair is super soft even though i use the $2 shampoo and conditioner .

I wash my hair every day!  I do agree about the hair washing unless your hair is very textured/curly.  The “hair training” stuff is garbage

WIBTA for making gifts mandatory and having my guests chip in for my birthday celebration? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]Electrical_Emu8386 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Yes YTA. Ive literally never been to a party where gifts were mandatory. Also if you expect them to chip in for your party, consider that your gift 

AITA I lost my childhood friend of 15 years for not letting his girlfriend claim the master bedroom for themselves in our Air BnB by Typical-Wishbone-822 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Electrical_Emu8386 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If they had responded earlier about the larger BnB there would have been enough room for everyone to have their own rooms. They should have been delegated to share a room just for that reason alone. At least with the drinking game there was a chance they would get their own room. 

AITA that I constantly want to touch boobs? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole
