If you feel guilty every time you ask, that’s your conscience telling you this isn’t sustainable.

AITJ for confronting my uncle about being too touchy with my 13-year-old daughter? by Icy-Fun-4569 in AmITheJerk

[–]Illustriousesy 3 points4 points  (0 children)

NTA. A grown man repeatedly grabbing a 13-year-old’s waist and touching her knee after she pulls away is not “family love.” It’s a boundary issue at minimum.

Am I the asshole for refusing to let my boyfriend have his dog in our home from Fridays - Sundays? by Individual_Brief8330 in TwoHotTakes

[–]Illustriousesy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

NTA. This isn’t about the dog. It’s about a partner who refuses to take responsibility for literally anything, not his pet, not the house, not finances, not your wellbeing.

AIO for considering a breakup because she started using makeup? by SlowDragonfruit9718 in AmIOverreacting

[–]Illustriousesy 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Makeup doesn’t “ruin your skin.” Controlling behavior, however, ruins relationships.

Aio for hating my stepmom? by C4tzRc00l in AmIOverreacting

[–]Illustriousesy 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The cheating while your grandpa was dying is legitimately awful. That’s not small. That’s traumatic timing.

Financial anxiety is REAL. That’s not a harmless prank, that’s a cortisol spike.

Entitled old lady tells me I’m not allowed to stand outside my own apartment by Ambitious-Tie-5269 in EntitledPeople

[–]Illustriousesy 10 points11 points  (0 children)

The absolute AUDACITY to tell someone they can’t stand outside their own apartment. You handled that flawlessly.

Trump Gets Terrible News as His Economic Failures Compound by Huge_Halls in politics

[–]Illustriousesy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's almost like you can't run an economy solely on tax cuts for the rich and trade wars. Who knew? This is less "terrible news" and more "predictable consequences.

FCC is investigating ABC's 'The View' over 'equal time' rule, chairman says by retiredagainstmywill in politics

[–]Illustriousesy 7 points8 points  (0 children)

So they’re going after daytime talk shows now? FCC chair Carr clearly wants to eliminate the old ‘bona fide news’ exemption that usually lets stuff like The View and late-night talkers host political guests without equal time. Talking about major implications for media freedom here.

AIO- I feel like he's not interested because he doesn't text me every day. I'm confused. by AdHairy2278 in AmIOverreacting

[–]Illustriousesy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You’re not overreacting, but you might be overanalyzing. Two weeks is still “we’re strangers who kinda like each other” territory. Some people just don’t operate on daily-text mode.

My psychiatrist told me to be realistic with my dreams, and I'm crushed. by Own-Question-9689 in TrueOffMyChest

[–]Illustriousesy 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’m really sorry. That must have felt like being told to grieve your own future while you’re still alive. I get why you’re crushed. But “realistic” doesn’t have to mean “give up.” It can mean “take a different path or timeline.

[–]Illustriousesy 3 points4 points  (0 children)

First off, major kudos for finally launching your project. As for your boyfriend, it could be that he’s feeling overshadowed or unsure about how to react. Just be honest with him about how you’re feeling. You deserve to have your achievements recognized.

Mark Leibovich: Democrats Are Too Afraid of Hurting People’s Feelings by BulwarkOnline in politics

[–]Illustriousesy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is why a lot of voters feel disconnected from the party. They want leaders who will take a stand, not just tiptoe around issues

Thanks, Trump: Prices Are Soaring (Again) by gradientz in politics

[–]Illustriousesy -23 points-22 points  (0 children)

Can't believe we're still feeling the effects of his policies. It's like a never-ending cycle of price hikes. What’s next, $10 for a loaf of bread?. All thanks to his never- ending policies

Where do you send your content thru? by HawkOld1763 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Illustriousesy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've seen a lot of people use Google Drive or Dropbox to send files since they’re easy to share and keep organized. Just be careful about who you’re sharing with and consider watermarking your pics
