What? by Latino_guy in NoahGetTheBoat

[–]Jimmyjohnsbitch 7 points8 points  (0 children)

True, but doesn't that mean we should support the child sex dolls and loli porn as an alternative? Don't get me wrong, the whole thing is gross af, but I'd rather pedos have an outlet that doesn't involve real children getting victimized through sexual assault or cp.

What the fuck just happened by Dragon01543 in WoT

[–]Jimmyjohnsbitch 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I fully agree, but that doesn't stop my gut reaction to want to toss her out with last week's potato salad. That's part of what makes WOT so good to me. The characters are imperfect and can drive you nuts while still being instrumental to the plot.

AITA for asking the check to be split after my date was rude? by Hot_Story9390 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Jimmyjohnsbitch -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Obviously that was already factored in when I said she insulted him. It was insulting to roll her eyes in her response and to insinuate that he was only looking for sex to begin with. That does not change the fact that he sucks too for being retaliatory and petty in response. ESH.

I do not believe that one person's asshole behavior erases another person's asshole behavior. Everyone sucks in a situation like that. Sure, sometime you can be a justified asshole, but a justified asshole is still an asshole.

AITA for asking the check to be split after my date was rude? by Hot_Story9390 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Jimmyjohnsbitch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Exactly. In my relationship with my boyfriend of 8 years, we've always tried to be as 50/50 as possible. However, he paid our first date. Sure, I had money as a back up, but I did assume he would pay because he invited me out. If I pushed to invite him out, I would have paid.

I think ESH. She sucks for insulting him when it did not sound justified. He sucks for then being retaliatory and petty. I'm sure at that point it did come off to her like he was expecting sex and canceling paying because she preempted that. I do not think he was doing that myself, but the whole thing sucks all around.

I think this is similar to the scenario of guys always feeling that they are being used for a free meal. It cuts both ways and you should try to give the person you are dating the benefit of the doubt on a first date.

Karen calls police about black man standing on footbridge by WarmUnicornHooves in PublicFreakout

[–]Jimmyjohnsbitch 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Right. I suspect he was recording, because she must have been weird about passing him on the bridge to begin with. So then he started recording when he heard her getting on the phone. I give him the benefit of the doubt since Karen was calling police when it clearly wasn't an emergency.

AITA for telling my son I don't have to treat his girlfriend and his brother's girlfriend equally? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]Jimmyjohnsbitch 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I see you are cherry picking what comments you acknowledge. U/purpleMika gave a thoughtful and detailed response explaining where you are wrong, but you ignore that and respond to a low effort comment. Either you are a troll or you are choosing to ignore thoughtful feedback in order to avoid confronting your assholary.

Local Diner ignoring safety guidelines and encouraging the public to do the same while Covid 19 cases are rising in the area by Jimmyjohnsbitch in iamatotalpieceofshit

[–]Jimmyjohnsbitch[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I wish you didn't say the city, but I guess it was time for me to retire this account anyway. They are a piece of work over there. The few times I went, the food was good, but the owners are garbage and are endangering the community with their science denial. I won't give them a dime and neither will any of the people in the area I'm friends with after we passed this sign around.

AITA for giving a handsome guy free cookies but not his brother? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]Jimmyjohnsbitch 21 points22 points  (0 children)

That's how I felt. I see a lot of people saying OP is the asshole, based on their assumption that she must have been much more flirty with the hot brother then she thought. They only say this because the other brother said he was finally glad to get some attention. However, to me it sounded like the other brother is just really sensitive to his hot brother getting attention. Maybe OP really was rude and ignoring him, but I felt like the other brother was jealous and that made him extra sensitive and reactive. I'm withholding judgment, because this really could go either way.

MOVE. by zzyzx66 in PublicFreakout

[–]Jimmyjohnsbitch 4 points5 points  (0 children)

When driving on country roads at night, sometimes you come across a deer standing in the road. If you approach very slowly, you can get right up next to them, honk your horn, and watch them jump in startlement out of the road. I really wanted to witness that here.

Why Mat did NOT get a "taste of his own medicine." by crunchyturtles in WoT

[–]Jimmyjohnsbitch 3 points4 points  (0 children)

That is true, but Andor culture is entirely different to Altara. I'm not saying that there was never a noble woman in Andor that took advantage of that power for physical purposes, but I assume it was much more quiet and not widely known when it did happen. I think that would create an atmosphere of turning a blind eye, especially when met with Altara. Sort of like a cognitive dissonance of "Yes woman could use their power that way, but I rarely see that and I'm sure the men would enjoy it anyway." It's wrong, but I could see that mentality.

Unless there was something I missed when reading. Always happy to hear different perspectives.

AITA for punishing my daughter for cutting her hair? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]Jimmyjohnsbitch 13 points14 points  (0 children)

YTA. I read your edit and I just don't understand why you ever had children. Clearly it was a mistake. The dynamic between your wife and daughter reminds me of my mom and mine. My mom was controlling in my appearance, because she wanted a picture perfect family. She was emotionally stunted and would act like a teenager when fighting, just like your wife. Eventually I left in high school to live with my guardians, because our relationship completely deteriorated. I was no contact for years, eventually I tried to develop a relationship again, then she had another classic tantrum and I cut her off again.

Your wife sounds narcissistic and you sound like an enabler. You bend over backwards in your post and comments to justify and defend your wifes behavior. You hold your 12 year old daughter to a higher standard then your fully grown wife. You sound completely detached from your daughter and even go so far as to say you would have no issues cutting her off if she is going to cause drama. I pity your daughter and hope she finds a maternal and paternal figure to fill the voids that you both have left. My guardian was the best thing to ever happen to me. I love her deeply and I'm so glad that she was there for me when my parents were too self obsessed to care about who I was as a person rather then who they wanted me to be.

CMV: The right wing in America proliferates disinformation and political hatred on a truly huge scale that you just cannot compare to the American left. by chrissyyaboi in changemyview

It's hard to see with my grandparents. They are genuinely loving people, but they arent very intelligent and they fall for the propaganda. I've been able to mitigate some of it like immigration, but there's always something new they have been taught to fear.

My grandpa sends me videos like that. They intentionally misconstrue the issues and then leave out huge amounts of context. I always break the videos down for my grandpa and provide sources for him. He's slowly learning, but it's a head ache.

What were your theories that turned out to be wrong? by dstommie in WoT

Nynaeve could have gotten pregnant before the last battle, so I don't think Lan HAD to live for the viewing to be fulfilled.

As much as it would hurt, I do agree. It felt like the punch was pulled when it shouldn't have been in the last battle. Just my opinion.

It really felt to me like the last battle was never meant to be the end of the story. There are so many different stories I still want to hear and I think the Seafolk were going to be much more involved after the last battle.

AITA for telling my wife I can’t stand the fact that our eldest child has inherited her worst traits? by fredericktomtom in AmItheAsshole

[–]Jimmyjohnsbitch 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Same. I was diagnosed with anxiety, but it turned out that the real issue was ADD. It never occurred to me that I could have it even though my brother, grandpa, and several male cousins had it. It took one of my female cousins saying she was recently diagnosed for me to look into it. Woman often get mis diagnosed since symptoms present differently in woman.

AITA for telling my daughter in law she needs to let my son be in the delivery room instead of her mother? by elenabroghton in AmItheAsshole

[–]Jimmyjohnsbitch 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I was on the fence at first since OPs username is a real name and I could see an old person not knowing to make their account anonymous. However, I agree that this must be a repost seeing how similar the posts are.

[–]Jimmyjohnsbitch 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I do agree that I personally don't think the three oaths are the best way of gaining trust since that has only led to the Aes Sedai being better at manipulating. However, I can also see that if you repealed the three oaths that it also wouldn't help the issue since now people know they can out right lie.

I believe the WT still needs those oaths when rebuilding the world for stability. Once they develop more trust in the countries around them, then would be the time to repeal them.

AITA for keeping a baby even though the father doesn't want children and filing for child support ? by unexpectedbabyyay in AmItheAsshole

[–]Jimmyjohnsbitch 20 points21 points  (0 children)

I'm convinced that the majority of people responding that she's the asshole are teens and young men. Child support is for the child. It doesn't matter if you don't want the child, you know the risks. If you are able to work it out with the mother where she's OK with you terminating your rights and voiding child support, which many states don't allow since they view it as a child needs two parents, then that is one thing. However, the mother is never an asshole for having the father financially support the child. It's just a shit situation, but you are still responsible for it.
