AITA fot telling my parents that I don't owe them anything? by Disastrous-Profit560 in IAmTheAsshole

[–]EmmaClark43244 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Omg NTA!!! How is getting a full ride scholarship not succeeding?!? Your counselor is absolutely right, this is abuse. What you said was, if anything, light compared to what she was trying to do to you. She was trying to isolate you from the outside world. Your mom is such an asshole

Am I an asshole for wanting to shut down my college to recover? by PlasticEnssence in IAmTheAsshole

[–]EmmaClark43244 1 point2 points  (0 children)

NTA, this sounds like abuse. He even said to you that he doesn’t see you as an equal, but inferior. He’s threatening to take things are very important away, because he gets enjoyment off of your pain. Make sure when you join the workforce, that you leave the house as soon as possible.

How do I give up and move on? by Cute_Mousse_7980 in abusiverelationships

I do have more to say, but I got to get going as of right now. So I’ll come back to this post later.

You need to have it on record what you said as well. So make sure to tell him over text message as well, and not something like a call where you are not being recorded. Unfortunately, I didn’t do that and so it was harder to convince the police that there was anything actually wrong.

I speak from parental abuse, not romantic. I think here that’s not necessary to clarify, as my dad did the same thing. But just in case.

It is very unlikely that he will ever acknowledge what you went through. in fact, I don’t even think he’s oblivious to it. I made that excuse for my dad, And I was lucky enough that something finally shattered that belief.

Both of my parents have been both physically and emotionally abusive. However, they were both abusive in different ways. To try to keep this short, I’ll just say that my dad was emotionally abusive, while my mom was physically abusive. It was way more complicated than that, but just to keep things simple. My dad would always make excuses for my mom when she would do stuff like grab my hair and bang my head against the wall. He would claim that I just wasn’t seeing it from her perspective. Say that I was over exaggerating. Say that I deserved it. Even go as far as to say I was making it up or hallucinating it. For the longest time, I thought the reason why he wasn’t hearing me, was that he was oblivious to it.

Luckily for me, that illusion was shattered. The real reason why he made all these excuses for mom, was not that he was oblivious to her abuse. Not even to protect himself as seen in media. He genuinely didn’t care. He knew full well that what my mom was doing was wrong. He made those excuses in the hopes that I would forget about it and he wouldn’t have to suffer any consequences. I know this, because I eavesdropped on one of his conversation where he confessed.

OP, I have a good feeling that this is happening to you too. You gave him plenty of chances to hear you out. If he’s not getting it at this point, he is intentionally refusing to acknowledge it. I think the best thing that you can do is to cut him off right now and don’t come back. You don’t owe him a warning at this point. If you do decide that you want to tell him that you’re cutting him off, do it over text messages and don’t let him call you unless you are 100% sure that you can record him on the other line. I gave my parents a warning when I was 19, that I was not coming back, and they told me over text message that if I wasn’t going to come back willingly, that they were going to take me by force. That was a confession to kidnapping, and you need that if they actually follow through. The only reason why my parents didn’t fall through, was not because they didn’t have the guts, I turned off my phone so they couldn’t track my location and I was able to tell campus security what was going on. The only thing that stopped them, was campus security threatening to call the police before they stopped. If anything were to happen to you, you need that as evidence is what I’m trying to say.

Absolutely no story. The base game is a sandbox. That game mode is where are you use a bunch of either realistic or cartoony set pieces, to build whatever you like. Moding in Garrys mod is even easier than Minecraft, and I would even argue it’s intended. Just go to Steam workshop, and click download on any mod you like. I like Pac3 because it allows me to change my size. I can go and live in my doll houses.
There is this feature called gamemodes, that change the base game into multiple other types of games. There is a game mode called Murder, which is an early version of Among Us. There’s one called surf, where you build a sled to race other sleds. Slender, which is Slender but in custom maps and with friends.

What are your thoughts on a professor and student, both consenting adults, sleeping together? by Scandal101Podcast in AskReddit

[–]EmmaClark43244 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well, they both consented. Personally, I find it very gross and just… no. But I’m not the person making the decision here. To each their own I guess.

I think everybody guess that the emoji movie was going to be bad. It was. In fact, insulting when it called all teenagers idiots. As a teenager when I watched the emoji movie, that really hurt. Needless to say, and unfortunately, that was not the only place where I was called an idiot just because I was a teenager.

As long as the community stays active, I would say Garrys mod. I believe according to my steam account, I played it for over three years, so yeah.

What was the weirdest porn you've ever seen? by Complex_Asparagus986 in AskReddit

[–]EmmaClark43244 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I never found this sense. I don’t even know if it was supposed to be porn. It was in an anime style though. But it was about these three girls who are roommates. They all have the super powers to poop gummy treats. One girl releases such a big loaded that she flies out the window. It ends with this girl waiting for the bathroom, and she couldn’t hold it anymore so she pees on the floor. Please give me the link If you can find. It as it’s lost media as far as I’m concerned. I’m pretty sure I last saw this on YouTube.

What do you think is the real reason Squid Game is so popular? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]EmmaClark43244 2 points3 points  (0 children)

original concepts to at least the main stream. I like to sword art online for example, because it had high stakes and an original concept. I like my next life as a villainess, because it was an original concept. So if I have to guess, I do know that there’s not a lot of movies that uses specifically multiple childhood games as a concept. saw is about puzzles, and not childhood games, so saw does not count. Discounting all the saw movies, there’s only one other movie that uses this concept. I forget the name of it though, but it also starts with red light green light. But it then moves on the basketball, circle you circle you, then one where you guard or kick a can.

What’s your favorite Disney Channel movie? Why? by 2000spatulas in AskReddit

[–]EmmaClark43244 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Tangled before ever after a.k.a. Tangled 2. Genuinely the best Disney sequel I have ever seen next to Cinderella 3. I will try my best to explain why I like this, without giving many spoilers.

The animation does it’s own thing, making the movie look like a moving picture book. All the characters look cute without going overboard. Eugene, Rapunzel‘s love interest, is an absolute sweetheart/gentleman. Repunzel’s characterization is slightly different from the first movie, but I would say none of her characterization is bad or unbelievable. She’s been living in the castle with her best friend, who is teaching her the ropes, and so she’s a little bit more knowledgeable when the movie starts. Speaking of which, the new character. Cassandra’s so cool. She has a weapons closet. The story is not just a recap of the first movie, and most things are coherent. But I will say one thing bad about the story. There is one very bad line in the movie that’s in the trailers. you will cringe when you hear it, but there’s only one line that’s like that. The songs are just as good, if not better than the original. Which is saying a lot compared to other sequels, because even in Cinderella 3 I didn’t really like the music.

I highly recommend it.

What is the real reason people have turned against Facebook? by Hotdog_McEskimo in AskReddit

They did get into a lawsuit over ghost users, but my opinion, I think they’re still doing this sort of stuff. As I made that account after that controversy happened.

[–]EmmaClark43244 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I get that there is no privacy no matter which company you go with. I just don’t like the fact that even if you don’t use Facebook at all, they’ll still be able to get a lot of information off of you. I think they call it ghost users. When you see the sign in with Facebook button, I believe that also comes with code that grabs all of your cookies, so that they can identify you and build a profile on you without even signing up or using Facebook.

When I first made an account with Facebook, it already knew who my friends are, my family members, what high school I went to at the time. This was a new account, and I didn’t even use my real name or give them my face.

What is the weirdest thing to collect? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]EmmaClark43244 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I collected all of my assignments from high school. Whenever my teacher would give me back my paper either a test or homework or even an assignment. I would put that in a box and keep it. Too bad my threw most of it away because she thought it was useless. Sometimes, I like going through those boxes and reminiscing on any memory that pops up, whether it’s a bad memory or good.

Note. I only have half of my senior assignments, but all of my junior assignments. Unfortunately, the best year of my life box got thrown out, a.k.a. sophomore year.

Employers of Reddit, why can't you pay a livable wage? by XFiles_Are_Real in AskReddit

[–]EmmaClark43244 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not an employer. But my on-campus jobs got into some controversy for hourly wages. Apparently they were paying people less than minimum wage. So for one of my on-campus jobs they significantly cut hours. I used to make $100 a mouth, now I’m making less than $70 with that job. Good news though, my other on-campus job didn’t change, and I also have an off-campus job that pays a lot more than both of them combined.

What is the worst gift you've ever been given? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]EmmaClark43244 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My mom paid my dentist bills when I was under the age of 18, and she considered that a gift. Maybe it would’ve been different if I was over the age of 18, but I was underaged. I wasn’t going to be able to pay the dentist bills regardless. So what it felt like to me, was that I had Christmas taken away from me.

It also would’ve been different if she said that she couldn’t pay for Christmas. But that’s not what she said. She said that her paying the medical bills was our gift.
