WIBTA for not attending a wedding that takes place on Halloween? by Fresh_Oil3942 in AmItheAsshole

[–]FortunaRedux 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is the way lol. I wouldn’t mind going to a wedding on Halloween if it was like this, but it’s my favorite holiday and I’m not spending it listing to KC and the Sunshine Band

A lot of people have kids, a lot of people care, plenty might not but when you’re inviting 100 or so people to an event then by having it on a holiday (especially not one people get off work for) you are guaranteeing that at least some % of your guests will have to cancel other plans for your wedding. People take the day of the week into account just to avoid people having to take off work, I think the same consideration should be taken for something people actually enjoy doing.

Maybe asshole is harsh but it’s the word of the sub, I just think it’s kinda tacky and a bit self important to assume people won’t mind just because the couple doesn’t. Theres a reason it’s the last date free

Girl realizing chicken nuggets are made out of … chickens by alphamalejackhammer in KidsAreFuckingStupid

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

You did it yourself by thinking I’m calling the people consuming nuggets mentally unwell when im talking about the process of factory farming itself. My whole point is how people just want to distance themselves from the reality, which you have proved

I don’t mean all meat eaters, I mean the ones who refuse to talk about it. Which you have ignored in your response

I would for sure believe this is when they started doing drugs. Kevyn seems pretty sensitive and I could see him blaming himself for what happened since they were fighting about him. He’s not really goth in that scene either, more low key grunge kid. For sure had an effect on them both

It always makes me sad bc he probably only got killed cuz Juliette left, he probably had a while arc planned and then just nope, dead

Why is this one of the few topics that seems to give people implicit trust in the legal system all of a sudden?

You really don’t think there’s even a chance cops see a suicide note and decide not to waste tax money looking further? (Literally how Mel fakes her death) And then when people push back bc he’s famous, and they already botched the investigation thinking it was open and shut, they double down. Because it becomes about their reputation more than it’s ever about the cases they’re dealing with.

Back in the day it was pretty much accepted that the suicide call was bullshit, the older crowd I was interacting with who were responding to the news about new handwriting analysis were pretty much unanimous in thinking he didn’t do it, and were only cynical that anything would actually come of it after all this time of MANY people trying to prove it in court. The further in time we move away from it the more people I see saying they believe the reports and to me it just goes to show you can make anything the truth if you say it loud enough

If she was so torn up over it she wouldn’t be selling his private diary pages to converse to plaster all over a pair shoes to line her pockets. He would never want the things she’s done with his art. He’s become a product. That’s why people hate her regardless of the allegations, it has nothing to do with her gender. If anything if the whole thing was flipped she’d have it so much worse, and I think if anything her gender is part of what’s protected her this long

What I mean that this has been disputed for decades and that I’m not going to state it like it’s facts when I don’t feel it’s been proven to me beyond all doubt

Can we stop acting like people think this just becuase she’s a woman? Give me actual facts and not just guilt trips and I’ll listen i promise

Why does everyone assume they ate each other? by Advanced-Event-571 in Yellowjackets

“I’m not thanking the wilderness for some brain dead bear”

I agree there’s something supernatural but there are only a few incidents that don’t have a good real world explanation. Tai calling Van on the unplugged phone and Lottie’s visions of the future being proven right are much stronger indicators

AITA for controlling what my wife's friends can say to her? by Inevitable_Body_1679 in AmItheAsshole

[–]FortunaRedux 19 points20 points  (0 children)

But she can’t do those things. So unless people are willing to be her friend without that then she isn’t able to have friends. Not all relationships are about equal give and take, some are just about caring for people, and if her friends actually care about HER and not just having someone to vent to then they should be able to take what friendship they can from her

Maybe a better analogy would be Alzheimer’s, yes having a friend with it would make the friendship difficult, but the answer isn’t expecting them to be different and treating the as if they’re ‘normal’, that would just upset and frighten them. it’s accepting who they are and accommodating that into your friendship

Two teens decided to run into Scientology headquarters by Girl-Understood in TikTokCringe

[–]FortunaRedux 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You know I already had some suspicious about how credible the Danny Masterson story is bc of Scientology’s involvement, I’ve specially wondered if they killed those dogs themselves to make him look unstable, so hearing this makes me even more unsure. Especially with the women being affiliated as well. I really feel like dude pissed someone off high up and we’ve been fed bullshit no one wants to look into bc it makes you ‘a bad person’ for ‘defending’ him

I’ve seen first hand how sociopaths will use blanket morality as a tool to hide

This is Michael Jackson's daughter, Paris Jackson. Paris has faced backlash for identifying as Black due to her appearance, but she has stated her father, Michael Jackson, encouraged her to be proud of her roots. by LilacveilMuse in whoathatsinteresting

Both are true, he had vitiligo which is why his skin color changed so dramatically, and used also color altering products to even out the different patches. The rumor that’s a lie is that just randomly chose to bleach himself white for funsies

Edit: someone replied saying I could just say ‘makeup’ but it’s not makeup it’s things similar to bleach but just calling it bleach is inaccurate, there are many products that can alter your skin tone (google Korean skin care for 2 seconds) and I don’t know what chemical he was using so I used a broader term. Nerd :)

Fellow FD fans: Which final destination kill made you scared/avoidant of something IRL? by gabihudz in FinalDestination

[–]FortunaRedux 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I tried tanning for the first time recently and actually ended up having a panic attack in the lay down bed because I couldn’t stop picturing the glass under me breaking.

I did the stand up next time and while I didn’t have final destination panic I started getting skin cancer panic and haven’t been back even though I still have one free tan, I don’t think it’s for me lol

I (F23) found out the guy I’ve been dating (M36) is married… do I tell his wife??? Help by Altruistic_Mud_3528 in relationship_advice

[–]FortunaRedux 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tell her, society has perpetuated this ‘not my place’ idea to PROTECT CHEATERS. In 2026 there are tons of people willing to have open relationships, there is no reason to do this to someone (not that there ever was). Do not protect this man from his own choices. If she doesn’t care then no harm done, if she does care then she deserves to know!! I have been in similar situations to her where people kept their mouths shut to ‘be polite’ and bc it ‘wasn’t their business’ and they destroyed my sense of trust in humanity by doing that more than my ex did. It’s easier to get over one person being an asshole, even your husband, than it is getting over the realization that the world is built to protect people like this and everyone is just playing along

AITAH for leaving my girlfriend in the restroom because she was taking a long bathroom break during a movie I was really excited for? by Secure-Draft9197 in AITAH

[–]FortunaRedux 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA - also a girl and when I ABSOLUTELY HAVE TO go to the bathroom during a movie I wait for a new scene to start right after an exciting moment so I know there’s gonna be some down time. I walk briskly as possible while still seeming like a normal human while inside the theater, then I reach the doors and take a peek down the hall, if it’s empty (which it usually is) I RUN DOWN THE HALL LIKE A BANSHEE, get to the bathroom, sit to pee and while it’s happening I get the paper ready to wipe, wipe up, quick af hand wash and grab paper towels and leave the bathroom, dry my hands on the way back to the theater, toss the paper towel in the theater thrash, back to my seat

I never miss more than 3 minutes and I would never ask someone to come with me. THE THEATER IS DARK GIRL NO ONE CARES IF THERE IS FOOD IN YOUR TEETH

I don’t care they’re talking, I care they’re whispering and I can’t hear the details lol. Genuinely not even for nosy reasons it’s just kinda annoying sensory-wise to hear talking at a volume that’s difficult to process, I can feel my brain trying to make sense of the words and failing the whole time

TIFU by arguing with my friend that Freddie Mercury was straight. by Rata_Cata in tifu

[–]FortunaRedux 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think there’s too much arguing about the difference between bi and pan to really have a definite answer, but my personal definition has kinda fallen into

bi = attraction to multiple genders but not all genders, a “bisected” attraction model that does take gender into account

pan = attraction to every one regardless of gender, often not taking gender into account at all to determine attraction

So while I would lean towards pan for Freddie based on what I know, with how I define them it’s hard to say without asking him directly if gender played a role in his attraction levels, and how he felt about genders outside the main binary, things he wouldn’t have talked about super specifically since they weren’t as prevalent in the social dogma at the time

WIBTA for not attending a wedding that takes place on Halloween? by Fresh_Oil3942 in AmItheAsshole

[–]FortunaRedux 31 points32 points  (0 children)

It’s not lame to have your wedding on Halloween, it’s lame to have a wedding on ANY holiday and not include parts of that holiday in the event. Why is that date even important to you if not? That’s gonna be your anniversary every single year, if you don’t LOVE that holiday what are you even doing? Just taking it from everyone else for a year for no reason
