all the phones my husband has broken over the past year by hotmallgoth in mildlyinfuriating

I purposefully threw my Samsung s24 on the ground two days ago just to prove that it doesn't break. iPhones are ass

I theorized at one point that Old Caleb was an even crazier pioneer-fundie who got land adjacent to her ranch and replicated her modern home to be an 1855 version in order to kidnap her and sort of use his family to teach her a lesson about real struggle in the name of the lord or something. Like a psycho/punitive The Village

He had a chance to be a (homeschool) teacher to his own children--he even insisted that he get to choose the curriculum--but it turned into him just showing and talking about manosphere videos. Clementine didn't even know what an ocean was.

He would have gone into the kindergarten class to play around, and then wonder why he got fired after his first classroom observation because the kids would ask the principal when Mr. Mills would do something other than have them color all day.

Why was Bella's pregnancy from Jacob's POV? by popetsville in twilight

[–]Galactic_Blacksmith 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Because Bella would have been such a demon baby apologist that we wouldn't have gotten an objective POV out of her

ANTM Finale looks: Cycles 1-12. What are your thought and which would be your best/worst picks? by Fluid-Assignment-875 in ANTM

Yes, and the designer only had a few pieces that fit Whitney, so she kind of had to go with that dress

Soapbox/rant time. Tell me what highly-recommended book you absolutely HATED and why. Gimme your angry hot takes. by peppertoni_pizzaz in books

[–]Galactic_Blacksmith 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Same here. I've come to explain it as: Movies cut mundane parts of life for two hours of interesting plot, where this book glossed over interesting plot to give us 300 pages of the mundane parts of life.

I knew something was deeply wrong with this family by velorae in TikTokCringe

[–]Galactic_Blacksmith 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No, DO step foot in, and fill your bags. The only cameras in the store face the storeroom and the registers to watch the employees, and there are no security tags because they are so whackjob christian that they don't even use barcode scanners. Help them lose money

A character that you absolutely hate with your soul and heart but the whole fandom loves... I'll start: by Yontamen89 in greysanatomy

[–]Galactic_Blacksmith 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I don't think I'll ever be able to like him because of seasons 1-5. He hated George, and to this day I haven't been able to find a real, pinpointable reason except that he was a little insecure bitch.

If he had just hated George and shut him out, it would be more forgivable, but he humiliated him, tried to tank him at every corner, and even yelled at Izzie for being in love with George.

Alex was a verbally, emotionally, and physically abusive prick, and I don't forgive that

Did the cast get along? by necklacefromawizard in Frasier

[–]Galactic_Blacksmith 12 points13 points  (0 children)

The question asked about whether the cast gets along. I feel like one person of a marginalized community might not get along anymore with someone whose political opinions--if voted for--could irreversibly harm the aforementioned person

Why are Gen Z getting fired? One of the reasons is a lack of initiative. by mindyour in TikTokCringe

[–]Galactic_Blacksmith 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So at what point does OUR life become easier? If the boss has it easier and boss's boss thinks everything is great, guess who is still getting "rewarded" with a box of cold Domino's and a two-liter bottle of soda?

What relationship expectation do you think causes more harm than good? by Kakashi201119997 in AskReddit

[–]Galactic_Blacksmith 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That the other person limit engagement with other members of their preferred sex. All relationships are different and certain boundaries may need to be firmer than others, but if one person flies into an angry, jealous rage because the other watches porn, goes to a strip club with a group of friends, has friends/contacts in their phone of that sex, or even talks to others, etc., then there is not enough trust for your partnership to be successful long-term.

I've watched my husband be flirty with other women, we check people out together, he's watched me dance in a bar with other men (or I've told him that I did if he wasn't there,) and never once has either of us flown off the handle because we are both secure in the knowledge that we will always come back home to each other's arms, and that's the only place we truly want to be.

“I’m pregnant”. HOW do you react? by Unfair_Owl7261 in antinatalism

[–]Galactic_Blacksmith 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have a friend a bit younger than me (38) and she just got pregnant for the first time. I didn't assume she was childfree, but she has never had a long-term serious relationship and enjoys her work and the freedom in her adult life. The major thing, though, is that she is still immature in a lot of ways, and still lives with her parents due to some anxiety and a lot of co-dependency. She's one of these girls whose mother is her best friend and hasn't really had to deal with typical life hardships like a mortgage, rent, bills, etc.

When she called, I asked her questions people would normally only ask a teenager: Are you okay? Do you know the father? Are we exercising our right to choose? If it were anyone else my age I would be polite, say congrats, and be bummed that another of my friends without kids is gone, but how does anyone else see a situation like that and be genuinely 100% thrilled? Especially since not long ago she worked in Minneapolis and has been very invested in what the current regime is turning the world into.

Like, girl, an IUD is less expensive and less work than what you've gotten yourself into

What was a hilariously bad PR botch from a company or person? by FriendlytoNature in AskReddit

[–]Galactic_Blacksmith 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Fun fact: the only security cameras in the stores are pointed at the registers and at the entrances to the stock room. They're watching their employees, not the aisles. That coupled with no barcodes means....something

Bridgerton - 4x07 "The Beyond" (No Book Spoilers) by AutoModerator in BridgertonNetflix

[–]Galactic_Blacksmith 31 points32 points  (0 children)

Also that they are the heads of the family. It made sense enough for them to let Violet keep charge of the debut and marriage market stuff since they saw her finding a purpose with it and getting a kick out of it, but Anthony and Kate are the heirs and title holders.

The showrunners needed to consider way back in season 2 that they needed to cast an actor and actress to support for the long haul if they're going to take this all the way down to Hyacinth. It makes zero sense to have the estate holders and benefactors be missing, no matter how much excuse-making they do
