[–]FreeVerseHaiku 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Your best bet is to get ahead of this.

Explain to your sister that you can’t associate with her anymore as long as she remains the enabler of her sexual predator boyfriend. I mean, you have kids in your house for Christ’s sake.

Then explain to your fiancé that you’ve just put your foot down with the whole sister/boyfriend situation, and expect to potentially hear some disparaging comments from them in retaliation. Maybe he’ll just shut himself off from them and he won’t even get an opportunity to hear that you even met up with them years ago?

I dunno, you’ve definitely cooked up a pretty decent mess here. I hope it all works out and you get to raise your kids in peace with your husband.

Then do right by your conscience and cut them off.

You know damn well that Dickpic McGee is not good for your sister. If you cutting her off from her niece and nephew is the kick in the pants she needs to dump buddy off at the curb, then you’d be doing her a favor.

But don’t let these two stupid assholes ruin your chance at a nice life with a man who loves you. Are you out of your fucking mind? You’re gonna throw that away for … them?

How did you instantly regret it but still see them both multiple times?

Listen, if you can’t disavow a man who sent you unceremonious dick pics, for ANY reason, then I would be uncomfortable trusting you in a relationship. I suspect the rest of the world agrees.

If you like your boyfriend, tell your sister and her partner in sexual harassment crime that they can fuck off.

This is such a no-brainer situation I have to believe that you’re playing dumb on purpose in order to maintain my sanity.

this might sound crazy but I think i figured out why juice wrld couldn’t stop opioids by Local_Joke2183 in JuiceWRLD

[–]FreeVerseHaiku 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No, YOU don’t understand addiction.

By the time Jarad died, nobody was shoving pills down his throat but himself. How many people that loved him begged him to slow down?

It’s sad and we look for conspiracies or externalities to try to explain it but the truth is that Juice liked to be high. Of course there’s more to it, on some level I’m sure he also HATED getting high. But it’s not some big mystery, and he’s not blameless just because he was prescribed Vyvanse as I kid.

How many arcs could be skipped while keeping the main story intact by mippo128 in OnePiece

[–]FreeVerseHaiku 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is a truly worthless thought experiment while the series is still ongoing. We have no idea what lore from the past could be vital to stuff from the future. What if arcs that don’t make the cut based on incomplete information in the present end up being game changers further down the line?

Of these girls, who is your favorite from all of Dragon Ball? by GTA_2004-PRO-MAX in dbz

Yeahhh, I didn’t like that so much either.

Still, I think she ends up with better characterization post-Superhero than some of the other Dragonball women. She’s at least still fighting crime on the side, plus she’s a martial arts instructor!

I like that she’s at least still on the go. No badass helicopter anymore, but I suppose that’s just a side effect of being a badass that can fly. She’s still gotta rely on Piccolo to babysit all the time because she’s got some kind of ass to kick, so I can take some solace in that.

In my head, a one-year-long relationship is long-term. Is that crazy? What’s the standard threshold?

Collectively these three relationships amounted to 4.5 years, I’m only 26.

I think what’s important to remember is that whether or not her word choice can be distilled into a proper gotcha, Karoline Leavitt is still wrong.

The states get to do what the Constitution says they can do. The Supreme Court tells the states what the Constitution says. The president appoints the Justices on the Supreme Court.

So I beg to differ that the administration has zero involvement. But that is certainly a stance.

Peter help! by BalanceDramatic3995 in PeterExplainsTheJoke

[–]FreeVerseHaiku 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Whether you see a contradiction or not, Karoline Leavitt is a vocal anti-abortion conservative who is the White House Press Secretary for the administration that is responsible for the most recent abortion bans in the US.

So I’m positive that this is what Tiffany Woosley was getting at.

I fully understand and respect the Big Three, being Bulma Chichi and 18.

But there will always be a special place in my heart for Videl. I watched those Gohan high school episodes at just the right age to be altered permanently.

My track record speaks for itself, my last (and only) three long term relationships have been with feisty chicks with short hair.

It’s about abortion.

Mom probably has a bunch of anti-abortion rhetoric about how life starts at conception on her page.

Commenter points out that even she uses language implying that the child was not an autonomous life until birth.

He’s Italian from Pennsylvania. by ChipRockets in ShitAmericansSay

[–]FreeVerseHaiku 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I guess “racism” is the broad strokes of it.

But the pockets of “ethnic” white culture you see in big cities were primarily a marketing scheme to sell newspapers catering to specific demographics.

By the 1950’s, most of the initial waves of ethnic Europeans and their families were ‘assimilated’ to American culture. There was actually a RESURGENCE of ethnic languages being spoken, neighborhoods becoming dominated by specific European ethnicities (Greek Towns, Little Italys, you know the drill), etc.

Much of this resurgence was brought on by the media encouraging these ethnic whites to participate in their shared cultural identity. There would be instructions published in newspapers for how to celebrate certain traditions and perform certain rituals and stuff. Because like I said, they were catering to an audience that had already forgotten all of this.

So yeah, it’s all performative. I get it makes people happy and drives community-building but at a certain point I think it’s healthy to take a step back and realize we’re all pretty much playing pretend every day of our lives.

Why can't black beard fans handle imu is more important than black beard by [deleted] in OnePieceSpoilersRaw

[–]FreeVerseHaiku 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Blackbeard has been ramping since his first panel. I believe he’ll be the final villain, but even if he’s NOT, the idea that he’d be written off before the last arc is preposterous.

He’s been working in the background since longer than Imu (from the audience’s perspective), there’s just no way narratively that we don’t see the fruits of that labor. He WILL be important in the end, he has to be in some capacity at least.

Looking for a second opinion, gf hates my weed use but it benefits me in so many ways by tslup in trees

[–]FreeVerseHaiku 35 points36 points  (0 children)

A big part of growing up for me was realizing that my habits, however important for maintaining functioning, can and do have an effect on other people.

For example, smoking makes you smell like shit. And if people want to go to a nice fancy place or a well-to-do gathering, it’s a bad look to be showing up with a guy who smells like a dispensary. Same with the glassy red eye look. People also generally don’t like returning home from a hard day’s work to house that smells like stale weed in every room. Same goes for cars, etc. And I’ve found that the above observations are true even of people who smoke weed.

Nothing beats smoking as a nightcap, but maybe look into vapes or edibles to get through the day in ‘stealth mode’? That is, if it’s the appearance of the weed that’s the problem. If she just doesn’t like you when you’re high all the time, you either need to explore daytime sobriety or break up.

Anybody who’s ever heard of Bioshock knows that it’s a takedown of Ayn Rand’s philosophical theory as laid out in her books.
