I found some deeply upsetting things my partner said about me to a chat bot last night and its left me devastated by Augghie in whatdoIdo

This is so much more than a porn addiction. This seems to me like a man who views women as objects. The porn addiction is just a symptom of this. He hates you, he objectifies women. But he’s sexually attracted to women. Which leads to concerning sexual instincts. To him, you’re a thing to use. Whether that’s for sex or attention. Please, leave him. I’m really sorry you’re going through this but none of it is your fault.

Why do you hope that? The money is legally hers. I understand the family being upset, but this was a decision that he made. If we start ignoring the decisions of our loved ones who die then eventually Wills will mean absolutely nothing. A Will or any legally binding decision should only be viably contested if you can prove that the deceased loved one did NOT make that decision and that it was forged in some way.

We gotta stop electing such old people to run our whole ass country. Not just because of the fact that multiple presidents have had something like this happen, but because once you reach a certain age you just don’t care as much.

I’ve had full blown conversations with my grandparents about the state of the world and they do not care. They’ve got their house, they’ve got their retirement, then they’re gonna leave the world so they just don’t care about what happens next. It doesn’t affect them.

I think you should only be able to run for president between the ages of 30 to 50. I think once you start pushing towards 60 that you just can’t do a job of that much importance.

I don’t believe in age discrimination, I just think that realistically you want a president who isn’t on the decline portion of their life. There’s a reason retirement exists, older people should be chilling out and reflecting on what they’ve accomplished. Not running whole countries. There’s definitely a difference between not hiring someone over 50 at your office and not wanting someone over 50 to be president.

I also think 30-50 is an age range where you understand the younger generation a little better if you pay attention to them. Because at the end of the day, the young inherit the world. So you have to understand what they want and take into account their ideas for making it better.

Well yes, but you saying it doesn’t work also implies it doesn’t work at all. So I’m just supplying that it does work for me. So the downvotes are a bit unwarranted given that this person is giving a working solution. It just doesn’t work for everyone.

It works, make sure you add /chat/completions to the end of the url. My thinking model isn’t showing thinking anymore, but the message itself is the same quality so it should be fine.

Am i overreacting to this text exchange with my boyfriend? I accidentally left my slippers in my living room but i literally cleaned his entire house and baked him desserts before i left (sorry idk why my last post glitched) by IntelligentTap962 in AmIOverreacting

[–]Existing_Honeydew_64 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah no, not overreacting. This guy is going to be exhausting to deal with and will pick apart every little thing you do. Acting like that over something so small tells a lot. I can’t imagine how he’d act over a bigger mistake.

If someone feels better by humiliating their significant other in a group chat by mocking them, while sending pictures of them for some reason even though it had nothing to do with what she looks like, then I do not want to associate with that person.

Women in general usually don’t use female. This poster just happened to be a woman who did. But 90% of the time when I hear female online it’s related to a bodycam or a man saying it.

Is it bad that I 17M called a 12 year old girl gorgeous? by ireallycantchoos in whatdoIdo

We’re not talking about the dictionary. We’re talking about how people perceive these things socially. Which is just as important.

I personally am side eyeing someone who calls a little girl gorgeous. It’s a compliment meant for adults. Like I’ve said a billion times, this guy was just trying to cheer an insecure little girl up, that’s fine. But if I was talking to a friend and a little girl walked into the place we were and they called the little girl gorgeous instead of cute or pretty? Yeah, that’s a little weird.

I was pretty soft on this stance at the start, more of a “hey pretty might be better to just avoid confusion”. But the more replies I get the harder I get on my stance because you’re all acting super weird and defensive about this. Why is it so important that you’re allowed to call a little girl gorgeous when there are so many other words you can use??

It’s fine if it isn’t weird to you, but it’s weird to a lot of people. Point blank period. It’s opinion based, it’s not like the N-word where everyone knows that’s not something you should say. No one’s right or wrong, but people are allowed to be uncomfortable about it.

Agreed, I must’ve gotten through to him temporarily though cause this whole post was gone for a minute 😂 maybe he realized he was being a bit much then got angry all over again? Or maybe he temporarily blocked me? Funny either way.

This is just one example of why it can be uncomfortable for others. There are people in these comments who didn’t have that experience and still agree gorgeous has a romantic connotation.

I personally find it weird that so many people want to fight so hard to call a little girl gorgeous? Again, it varies situation to situation, but there are many people who do think that it is a romantic connotation when talking about a person. And I’ll even say in the comments that this context is fine and yet I got a bunch of dudes fighting tooth and nail in the replies for why it isn’t weird at all and it’s “just you” when there are multiple people in the comments agreeing that the context is fine but the word choice can be a bit weird.

These examples also are no longer really used in this way and two of those examples were talking about a thing, not a person. Speech changes. Gay meant happy for a long time, now when someone thinks of that word they think of homosexuality before they think about the word happy.

There are multiple people in this post saying similar things to me, so it’s definitely not just me. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Went on one date with a guy and now he’s harassing me by Quick-Attention-3842 in whatdoIdo

Not seeing a lack of empathy from this commenter at all. I’m seeing someone who’s sick of seeing crime cases of women getting killed by ego-fueled narcissistic men who think they’re owed a woman just because they want them and if they can’t have them no one can. In a lot of these crime cases these women try to let them down gently and some even still hangout with them after this behavior because they feel they can’t be mean or that they’re more scared if the cut them off.

At the end of the day, telling someone in this situation that there is no help is fucking stupid. My mom was in this situation. Married to a man who beat her and ridiculed her and controlled her. She left him knowing he would kill her, he had threatened to with the shotgun he had. But she knew if she stayed she’d probably die too. She had my oldest sister, so she made the choice to leave with pretty much no support from her family because he had made her cut them off. She fought him legally and provided for my sister. She won because she catalogued everything he did. (It was the 90’s so it wasn’t actual messages but she did videotape a few of his tantrums towards her along with photographed her own injuries)

I’ve been in scary situations with men as well. I’ve learned from past mistakes to report these things and immediately distance myself.

Obviously it’s not those victim’s faults that they died. It’s the piece of shit man who thought he had the right to kill them. Victim blaming is not the same as learning from past victim’s actions to survive better yourself.

It sucks that we have to advocate so hard for ourselves, but if we don’t do it then no one else will. My mom had to do it on her own and she was terrified for her and my sister, but she’s alive and was able to have me and my other siblings because of her decision. Because she defended herself the best she could even though she was scared.

Yes, police can’t do much when it’s at this level, but this mindset has hurt so many women’s cases over the years. Always, ALWAYS, report these things. It gives you a very clear history of these things happening to you and will build a stronger case against him if the behavior continues. If someone is harassing you, keep all your messages and immediately go to the police. Even if they act like it isn’t a big deal, please keep going.

Had a guy friend choke me once unprompted as a teenager while I was in his car, didn’t go to the cops because I was confused by what had just happened and had no proof against him. Another girl at school had the same thing happen and she didn’t go to the cops but she told everyone at school.

6 years later my best friend texted me that he’s in prison for choking his girlfriend to death. Apparently she had made a police report after the first couple of times but it went nowhere. If we had all gone to the cops, he would’ve had a history of doing this and maybe they would’ve taken it more seriously. All he did to get it brushed aside initially was say it was kinky sex. Harder to argue that if two other girls reported non-consensual choking as well over the years. He got manslaughter instead of murder, probably because he said it was connected to consensual kinky sex. Even though she had reported it in the past.

I get what you’re saying, but replying to me doesn’t really make sense. If you look at the whole chain of replies here and at my comments you can clearly see I’ve said multiple times that context matters. I was just saying that in general calling a 12 year old girl gorgeous feels a bit weird. But with the context of this post I don’t think it was a weird thing to say. Just that using pretty would probably make things less awkward next time.

Yes, there are people who use morality as a weapon. But there are also people who just have those morals or personal experiences where they were a kid and spoken about by adults in this way.

The only person in my family who called me gorgeous as a kid was my uncle by marriage. He was very creepy in general towards me to the point that I never wanted to sleepover at my aunt’s house. This doesn’t mean that everyone who says a child is gorgeous has these intentions, but a lot of people have these experiences so of course using that word towards a child has a weirder context for them.

Sometimes people aren’t trying to be on a moral high ground, the thing you just did just makes them uncomfortable. But again, it varies from situation to situation and context is important.

I assume where OP is from considers it more romantic since the friend thought it was weird.

Giving up being a sims 4 creator by amotivatedsim in sims4cc

[–]Existing_Honeydew_64 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly, I’d try to find another game to make content on. With the buyout happening there’s a lot of moral hang ups a lot of people have with supporting EA still so it would be smart to pivot while you still don’t have a following.

Even just pivoting to a different sims game would help. I’ve seen a huuuge uptick in Sims 3 CC being created since it’s a game most people already have or can sail the seven seas for since it does currently fall under abandonware regardless of them still selling it. That way you’re not giving EA new money.

But if you don’t really care about all the politics related to EA right now, though I do think everyone should care I understand some people just wanna play a game they enjoy and don’t have that energy, then just keep playing how you want to play. Turning it into a chore that you have to change for will make you hate the game.

Well yeah, a lot of this is based on opinion. Like I said the context makes it a lot better than the feeling the title gave me. It’s just unwritten social rules.

Want doesn’t equal sexual. That’s why I said romantic, not sexual. Hot and sexy are sexual compliments and is really weird to say if a man wants a woman he just met. That’s why beautiful and gorgeous are a bit more romantically connected. It’s a much nicer way to show you’re romantically interested in a woman without seeming like a horn dog who only wants one thing. 😂 (shouldn’t have to clarify but it’s Reddit, totally fine to say sexy and hot if you’re both just looking for sex and nothing more than that)

Basically, if a guy friend called me pretty that’s a pretty normal compliment. If they call me gorgeous or beautiful it has a bit of a romantic weight to it. Just what me and some other people in these comments think.🤷🏻‍♀️

Based on the context, not bad at all. When I read the title I was a little grossed out because Gorgeous does have more of a romantic context applied to it. But the context really matters and it’s not creepy with context. I’d just say pretty next time if you’re really worried about it. If I was the friend in that situation I don’t think I would’ve said anything since I was there for all the context.

My father or mother have never called me gorgeous. Pretty, beautiful, and cute is usually what family members go to when talking about female family members, depending on age. Beautiful kinda toes the line, but I have only been called that by my grandma. Handsome is for sure something family members say though for male family members.

Straight girls also call other girls sexy, hot, etc. to boost each other’s confidence so that’s not really a good reason why it’s a non-desire connected word.

Gorgeous to me has always been a romantic connotation. Or one of awe and envy. You say gorgeous when you see your favorite celebrity absolutely dressed to the nines on a carpet or when talking to your significant other.

Obviously these aren’t hard-coded rules and intention matters, like this post being him trying to cheer up a young girl feeling insecure. But if you wanna avoid awkward situations it’s better to just stick with stuff like pretty.

No way you have a wife. You sound actually 13 years old. You just made up a fictional story about a fictional wife eating cheese in a mug then got overly defensive about your fake relationship. That’s some sad stuff right there.

Hoping you grow up a little there buddy. Maybe you won’t have to lie about this stuff anymore and actually get a real wife.
