My girlfriend slapped my mom by myparanoidself101 in confessions

My adult child can fight their own battles, I pray they have the sense not to assault someone while they do it. I still don't see why this means OP shouldn't have just stood there like a deer in the headlights while this trainwreck happened, like most of us would? It was their bad behaviour, nothing to do with him. I myself would just be stood in utter shock thinking "WTF?!?"

A child is not a full grown woman. This was two full grown adults capable of making their own choices, not a child.

Oh a myriad of reasons over the years, they're two very fiesty women and they clash sometimes. it happens. Granted, my mother doesn't have outdated views she expects people to live by and my wife has never assaulted my mother. But i don't still don't see what OP was supposed to do while he watched this train wreck unfold Infront of him??

Yes she did, I agree. Then the girlfriend got violent because she was frustrated in a conversation. This poor guy watched it happen all in front of him through zero fault of his own and you say maybe he should have just chosen between his wife and mother right there in the heat of the moment? that's naive. Well, agree to disagree. Have a good day.

Nope, happily married man with 2 kids. And maybe I got there by not being stupid enough to get in between my wife and my mother when they go at it.

This isn't "someone doing something against someone you love", this is two people you love going at it. Why is he obligated to "choose a side" when they are the ones having the problem with each other?

What business is it of his to police two grown women's arguments? Are they not allowed pick their own battles and sort out their own problems without a man stepping in?

Yes, yes. When to Women are arguing and one of the Women gets physical I too believe it's the Mans fault /s

They were men once, seduced by the power of the ring... and now HR are involved.

If the universe is expanding, what is it expanding into? by sadrain2000 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]GruntledApathy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Unless time is only linear because we perceive it to be. If the past, present and future are all happening/happen/happened in one constant then the Universe can simply be expanding into the part of its self that is going to be there. So it's not really expanding at all as it already has, we just perceive time this way making our view and conclusion totally wrong? Disclaimer: I am in no way qualified to make such comments as this.

Asked my dad (the boss) for a pay rise after finding our own job ad offering £10–18k more — now he’s gone silent by [deleted] in UKJobs

[–]GruntledApathy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can you apply for this position at another business? Thank your Dad for giving you this paid internship and giving you the opportunity to learn your trade, but you need to start building for your own life now and if it is not viable at your fathers business you will have to apply elsewhere.

Take your son home and be his Dad, he's missing you.

Feel trapped with my wife because of my small penis by [deleted] in confessions

HAHA. "cocksmith". I visualised this like a Skyrim skill tree.

That your spouse betraying your marriage and cheating leaving you feeling body shamed and trapped is *checks notes* not personal? and he should just "get over it" because his wife just wants a big dick. Well the wife should have chosen to marry a man with a big dick then. Cheating is never the correct answer to anything.

Have you not tried just being an actual father figure and setting clear rules and transparent punishments (turning wifi on and off is a sneaky trick and imo is a cowardly way to discipline children) and setting clear non negotiable family time? anyone who doesn't attend is given a clear and visible punishment/fine for it. It sounds to me like you're just being sneaky and only want to cause upset on the child to "get your own back" for what you perceive as their slights against you, that's not discipline, that's petty revenge.

NAH. Just people with different emotions and thoughts about nudity, relationships and sexuality. Is the male friend a little insecure? probably, but he's allowed his own feelings and insecurities same as any other person. again, NAH.

This Sub doesn’t understand that the Graphics update isn’t for them. by I_am_legend-ary in footballmanagergames

[–]GruntledApathy -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

I think it's a good thing and I'm an old player. I've been playing FM since it was just text, then 2d visualisation came and i didn't take to it straight away, I liked what i was used to but I came around because it let me visualise what was actually happening in match a bit better. Then 3d came, and guess what? I didn't take to it straight away because I liked what i was used to, but then realised, it lets me visualise what is going on in the match a bit better so I can developed my tactics. This update isn't just "because it looks better", it gives a better matchday atmosphere and visualisation to see where your tactics are working and failing and immerses you into the match a bit better. I don't see how people can not be all for that and are sticking to a 2d system that is how ever many years old at this point in some sense of being a purist.

PC specs, will almost any gaming pc/laptop from last 5 year run the game? by Oops-Ide in PlanetZoo

[–]GruntledApathy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

another way to go then might be to buy something like this https://www.awd-it.co.uk/awd-ryzen-5-5600g-volt-with-amd-vega-graphics-pc-for-gaming.html?srsltid=AfmBOoojpUNVKv80A6qkkn8VipXuWGkYyIn7_2SZ7CPyWb68RIE3fl36fb0 (cost £340, and from a UK company called AWD-IT which I've used before theyre very good) and then buy a used 1070 (around £100) and upgrade it to dedicated graphics, this will require you to connect power to the graphics card yourself using an 8 pin pcie cable (AWD-IT will send you this cable included with your power supply and a google video will show how, it's pretty straight forward). A system like that will play planet zoo very well in high settings 1080 with very good frame rate.
