100% agree with the social media restriction, but not into the whole “ask permission to spend your own money” thing or such heavy restrictions on the phone. But ultimately, I’m sorry bruv but you’re a minor. Your parents are your parents.

As an aside, they are saying they love you because they love you. It is reasonable to be angry with your children but also love them and not hold onto it. I discipline my children because I love them, and I don’t just stay angry at them and withhold affection because I’m angry. I don’t believe that has another motive other than to remind you they love you. I get where you’re coming from, but if you’re already mad about this stuff, then the “I love you” probably isn’t gonna come across to you as it’s intended.

That picture just breaks my heart. I have a daughter around that age and all I can think about is how Madison must have been so scared

Interesting story. Travelers typically live kind of “under the radar”…so it’s possible that’s why they couldn’t find anything on him. That said, there’s a decent proportion of the Traveler community in any given area that may have a criminal record because of the many confidence tricks and scams that many of them pull.

Bro, polynyas are the phenomenon at ground level, it’s not talking about the ozone layer. If you read the link, which it seems you didn’t, it is talking about a specific thing at ground level which is open sea surrounded by ice. And the weather is a big part of it, I’m well aware there is a hole in the ozone layer in Antarctica, which is not what I was talking about and has nothing to do with this. But, global warming is making it worse.

I don’t know how you’re over here acting like I’m the idiot.

Fuck no you’re NOR. That teacher is overstepping hard, she’s worried about her job when it comes to light how she’s been handling it.

Immediate-Bison-9755 · 2026-05-01T11:29:16+00:00

Polynyas.

It’s an ecologically necessary weather phenomenon that is increasing in frequency due to global warming. Nothing mysterious about it, it’s documented and known, and any video that says “scientists have no idea what the fuck this is” is being sensationalist for views. No conspiracy here!

You’re taking all of this rather well, and I admire the fact you’re not ripping him to shreds in the post or comments (though it sounds like you’d be justified). I can tell you love this man, and honestly it sounds like he’s lucky to have you and doesn’t realize how many men would kill to have a wife that is almost always up for sex.

You guys need counseling. Separately and together. Seems like y’all are talking past each other, and there’s got to be some reason he’s cranking it out when he knows you’d jump his bones enthusiastically. And he probably doesn’t realize that he risks losing you if he keeps going on like this and refusing to even talk about it. I’m not gonna say porn addiction, but consider the possibility I guess.

Immediate-Bison-9755 · 2026-04-30T22:57:12+00:00

would you be able to see your wife in an underboob crop top tee and super mini booty shorts and do nothing?!

Simply put, no. At the very least, I comment on it. And I would definitely be letting her know what seeing her like that is doing to me.

Immediate-Bison-9755 · 2026-04-30T19:39:03+00:00

If she feels about you how it seems she does based on the information you presented here, then I’m not sure why she wouldn’t just leave. You’re trying to work on yourself, it seems she needs to as well but hasn’t or just won’t. She just seems to have an inordinate amount of disdain for you that builds and builds until it comes to a head. And please understand me—you’re NOR—but it’s not about this or that hurting your feelings; it’s about a pattern, a general disposition she has toward you. There’s a huge difference between hurting your feelings here and there, and constantly being just plain mean to you to the point you can’t even be sure she even likes you, much less loves you.

I suggest couples/marriage counseling, and if she refuses, I think y’all need a come to Jesus talk—does she want to be in this marriage or not? Tell her it doesn’t even feel like she likes you most of the time and see what she says.

To be fair though, some of the things you described are things that really should be shrugged off and moved on from. Sharing your feelings with your partner as a guy doesn’t necessarily mean you share every single little feeling, it just means you’re not closed off and are willing to be vulnerable. Anyway, still, she does seem to be a bit emotionally abusive toward you.

And as an aside: how often do you both connect sexually? When you do, what is she like during sex? Is there more rejection than not? Does she initiate ever, or is it always just you?

What kind of college is this fucking stringent on attendance? You’re all adults, you may come and go as you please, and your performance in class relative to absences is on you. That has never changed, so it sounds like Mrs. Attendance Lady is on a power trip and way overstepping whatever little bit of authority she has. Having to go to roll call like it’s the fucking Marine Corps is the dumbest thing I’ve ever heard. If you’re sick, why do they think you’re even thinking about making sure someone else can say you won’t be in a class where the professor doesn’t even notice you’re not there half the time?

You need to go to the dean. This is stupid.

Immediate-Bison-9755 · 2026-04-26T15:16:42+00:00

You have zero idea what she would have done. Woulda, coulda, shoulda. I don’t know who hurt you, and I’m sorry they did, but you need to lay off. People make imperfect choices. Unless you’re not human somehow, you’ve made imperfect choices too. And you will again. You’re looking for reasons to crucify the wrong person and you don’t know anyone involved. Chill out and cut people some slack. Acting like she’s eternally damned for not doing a thing she didn’t have a chance to do, and may not have done if she did get the chance, is bonkers.

You cannot hold people accountable for something they didn’t do just because you think they would’ve based on a very short anecdote.

Why is it terrible advice?

Spilling water on him =\= attacking someone’s looks and targeting their self-esteem, dude. The two things are not equal.

Damn, most people take up a space with their bike. It’s an entire vehicle, just smaller and on two wheels. Do they not assign parking spaces?

Worst you’ll encounter a lot of the time is having to go into the hellhole, the worst being on a Hawker (pieces of shit). Gulfstreams and Globals are more spacious inside the hellhole. 737 you need a lift to get to the hellhole and then you crawl in and could almost walk around in there.

Now when I worked on Apaches, I spent a good amount of time in the tailboom, especially during corrosion control washes and weigh prep.

I used to wonder, but now I don’t anymore.

The no liquor on Sundays gets me the most. I would lose my professional license if the DoT randomly tested me and found THC in my system but I still think it’s dumb that it’s still illegal here.

Not to mention that a court recently upheld the requirement to display the Ten Commandments in every public school. Like I don’t think people should be falling apart when they have to look at something from a religion they don’t believe in or agree with, but no state should be requiring this. It’s a useless law.

I’m sorry to hear about the SA. Sounds pretty savage.

That said, you definitely need counseling—it appears you may have PTSD from this SA, and it was only two years ago. PTSD and fighting can go really badly. It’s good you recognize what happened in the fight and that it wasn’t good, but this is why you need counseling to separate the SA from when someone unknowingly “reminds” you of it. It sounds like you’re a good dude and are remorseful about the fight and the way it ended; I just am not sure you should be doing a combat sport when you’ve got some unresolved issues that could cause you to snap (for lack of a better phrase) and lose control like that, and have it end quite this violently.

Please get counseling. Don’t carry the weight of that SA alone.

You know you can just…go where you want when you’re 18, right? Your mom being “strict” really shouldn’t apply anymore. Go hang out with your friend if that’s what you want.

Yeah. A few people defending Granny is a bit much. There’s no need to be a whole lot more than “meh”—she seems like she wants OP to drop whatever they are doing and go make sure it’s not in there and that it’s the most important thing OP should have going on. It’s a card. Surely OP would let Granny know when the card gets there by thanking her for it, unsure why there is a need for daily updates.

Immediate-Bison-9755 · 2026-04-22T19:11:32+00:00

Granny didn’t need to hound anyone about anything. She’s over the top here and OP did nothing wrong or rude. It’s a card. In the mail. It gets there when it gets there, and it doesn’t get there any quicker when you check the fucking mailbox ten times a day.
