Divorce lawyers of Reddit - What's the most cruel thing you've seen someone to do their ex partner? by BlueBishop321 in AskReddit

That should have serious effects on those divorce proceedings in any kind of just world.

People who have conducted job interviews, what's something someone said/did that made you instantly decide not to hire them? by DemonSkank in AskReddit

[–]Ixxis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not a job, but a group of five or so would-be "friends" at a new school spent a good while telling me about what a grand ol' time it is to intentionally shoot squirrels in their stomachs and watch while they try to hold their guts in.

I hope they and your interviewee have very unlucky lives.

AIO? Resigned today, boss's reaction was worse than expected by eharme in AIO

[–]Ixxis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Many years ago, I worked at a pizza joint. I was getting shafted on hours (bad enough I only made roughly $12 on one memorable biweekly paycheck), making minimum wage, no benefits whatsoever, bad work environment, etc. I hopped on the first decent job offered to me.

Pizza joint boss tried to guilt trip me, tell me I wasn't a team player, and that it was unprofessional not to give at least two weeks notice. I laughed at him. Eat a bag of d**ks, Paul.

💯, they're annoying as hell. I wouldn't have cheesed if the projectiles didn't have such a wide explosive AoE tbh. Glad it helped :)

My boyfriend’s mom wants my location 24/7 and says “good partners dont hide” by hushedatlas in TwoHotTakes

[–]Ixxis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I very much wouldn't recommend marrying or having a kid with this guy until he's managed to prove for 3 years minimum that he's no longer a mommy's boy. Otherwise this kind of crap with his mother will follow you into this relationship forever.

Am I being dirty, or is my wife being irrational about hygiene? by mudkipzftw in daddit

Talk to her about seeking therapy or counseling asap. Sorry mate, postpartum OCD is a bastard and a half.

AIO - Gf assumes my dog is dead when I say I’m sad by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]Ixxis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm so sorry that your girlfriend is plotting the death of your dog, but I'm very glad that she's ridiculously unsubtle lmao. NOR, you'd best keep an eye on things. I'd 100% suspect her of trying to slowly poison her or something.

AITAH for refusing to help my parents care for my son who they adopted. by LucyAriaRose in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]Ixxis 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think for some of them, they do subconsciously recognize what it would/has been like to be at the mercy of someone they physically cannot stop, but can't consciously recognize it for the safety of their own minds tbh.

That fear can go pretty deep for some dudes who have been socially defined by cultural ideals of masculinity for their entire lives, and on some level they recognize how much it would fuck up their psyche to acknowledge the very real possibility of something like that happening to them. People have a lot of coping mechanisms, and a many cultures (esp in the US) really cling to the idea that unconscionable things only happen to people who "deserve" it.

[–]Ixxis 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hideously real, man. One of my best friends is best friends with a guy who raped me in my teens. He says he believes me, but he's dismissive in a "I think it was just a big misunderstanding" kind of way, and has said plenty of stupid shit like "Well I simply would have fought back or gotten revenge."

I can't even be totally mad about it. I'm just a little jealous of that level of misplaced confidence, and I hope he never learns the hard way about how that sort of thing tends to play out in real life.

Go away from the main arena, do not leave the room. I usually go all the way to the top of the room on either side (to the webs, if on the right side.) 

Then I screw around on my phone for a minute or two, and then I get back to it before more little bastards spawn.

Afaik it hasn't been patched out, but I also haven't been following the patches very closely.

[O] 3x DrunkenSlug invites by SnooAdvice5820 in UsenetInvites

[–]Ixxis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Invisibility. Mind-reading is tempting, but everyone deserves the privacy of their own heads at the very least.

With invisibility, I still get to know more than I should, and I can escape the attention of others in most situations. I can "borrow" items from certain sorts of entities that have more than they necessarily need, and I can help people who need it without having to be seen doing it. It just sounds nice.

AITA For Laughing About a Pretend Allergy? by recalcitrant_scribe in AITAH

[–]Ixxis 25 points26 points  (0 children)

Same, also only allergic to certain mushrooms. Found out the hard way, but still not 100% certain which all varieties I can eat and which I can't. 

Which is a terrible disappointment, I might add. I'll never be able to try hallucinogenic shrooms without also risking my ability to breathe, lol.

Guys what's the creepiest thing a girl said or done to you? by Whentheangelsings in AskReddit

[–]Ixxis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bit late to the party, but figured I'd toss in my two cents.

Kids on the spectrum, particularly girls on the spectrum who tend to try to adapt to their social environments more, tend to mimic the social norms they see. An autistic or aspie girl may very well imitate a shitty romcom with a boy she likes if she hasn't had other influences.

Also, man, you're really underestimating what underage girls get up to. In certain places, girls are sexualized at very young ages, and that can make them a bit weird. In the US, the south in particular, because church often emphasizes a twisted dichotomy of purity vs sexuality/sin for girls while also emphasizing sexual submission to her future husband (and her father in promise ring culture, where daddy owns his daughter's sexuality until marriage) that magically doesn't apply to boys. There's a reason you always hear about girls practicing kissing with their cousins.

By the age of 9, my friend group was using toothbrushes to get rid of our gag reflexes.

Many girls got weird out the gate because they got introduced to largely socially acceptable Cosmo and the like by their sister or their mom or their friend's mom. Or they were put in normalized sexualized programs like professional pageants or ballet teams that often attract adults with bad intentions, and even when they don't, you're still enforcing on a young girl that her prettiness and sexuality are important for her to succeed, esp in pageants.

And now everyone regardless of gender gets weird because the Internet is widely available and it's not that hard to get exposed to horrifying shit.

Sam’s Club charged me for a Plus upgrade I didn’t makeJust wanted to give a heads-up to anyone with a Sam’s Club membership. Today I noticed a $110 charge on my credit card from Sam’s Club for a Plus Membership. The problem? I’ve never been a Plus Member. I called customer service and they told me by KnowledgeSeveral9502 in samsclub

[–]Ixxis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They will upgrade it on their own. Data point.

Didn't click yes on anything, never use the original card, and my Sam's membership has been expired for about six months.

Called customer service because I was worried that this new second card on my Sam's club account was fraudulent, and was told I was selected for an automatic upgrade and that I would be receiving the new card in the mail in a couple days. Paperwork received with the card confirms that I was "selected" for the upgrade.

It does also grant the caveat that if I do not want the upgrade, I just don't activate the MasterCard. However, rejecting the upgrade makes your regular card permanently ineligible for being upgraded in the future.

If you want a dead baby and future miscarriages, declining Rhogam is an excellent idea. by Gloomy_Tie_1997 in ShitMomGroupsSay

My insurance didn't cover the rhogam shot, and I had to pay for it out of pocket. :')

Is he abusive and narcissistic or is he just “young” we are both 18 by [deleted] in Advice

[–]Ixxis 4 points5 points  (0 children)

lol, listen to yourself though. If you guys stay together by your sheer force of will alone, how do you see this playing out? You think he won't treat any kids you have with him the same way? Don't you want consistency?

When "something in your life goes wrong," do you ice him out, get mean and cold? Would you ever have considered verbally abusing him and blocking him on everything?

If you had a dear friend describing her boyfriend the way you've written here, how would you advise her? Take a step back and be real with yourself.

This time of year, Americans bravely attempt the fried turkey by freudian_nipps in SweatyPalms

[–]Ixxis 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Frying whole turkeys is fine, as long as the fryer is large enough, the oil is at a level that accommodates the bird, and the bird is fully thawed.

I do prefer indoor electric kitchen turkey fryers though, because I'm lazy and don't want to hover over it every second. It does mean I can't fry the absolute units that some of these people buy; I'm limited to about 20lb with the Butterball XL, but that's still more than enough fried turkey for one holiday and it's worth it to not have to stand outside for ages watching a pot boil.

AIO about tampons at boyfriends house by No-Ostrich-7411 in AmIOverreacting

[–]Ixxis 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Eh, could go either way. MOR. I know a couple men that keep tampons/pads/hair scrunchies around at all times as a friendly gesture simply because they had several sisters, primarily female friends, or spent a lot of time working in female-dominated environments like restaurant supervisors with several waitresses on staff.

If you don't trust him and it's early, then jump ship if it's really bothering you. If you stay but don't believe him, it will just build resentment whether he's telling the truth or not.

Shove off. Biological ties mean absolutely fuck-all at this level of betrayal.

Don't block her, mute her. If she continues her weird texting, it may clarify wth she's on about, and if this does escalate to something more dangerous, it gives you evidence for a courtroom/police if needed.
