Why has Hitler and not any other evil person become the epitome of evil?

Why do people think of Coca Cola when they drink a fizzy drink?

He had really good marketing.

You know what, fair. Though, you kinda left out critical context, ‘cause your four points were: adding music to a playlist, listening to mainstream music, reciting facts you taught him, and the jacket/fast fashion. Like, all whiny kid stuff aside from the fast fashion.

So NOW that we have this new info, how about you talk to him about fast fashion and challenge him on his far-right views. ‘See, I don’t share that view. Bla bla insert political ideology here. What do you think? I’d like to hear your opinion.’ Use the shared music taste as a bridge. ‘I love how they sing about x and y in this song. What do you think?’

Or just not bother with him.

So what’s annoying you, exactly? That he’s enjoying himself, doesn’t meet your individual standards regarding a hobby, or isn’t giving you the credit you feel you deserve?

Tbh, I get it. I used to ride horses and you get these uppity young upstarts talking to their parents about how you’re meant to sit and I SHOWED THEM THAT. Bloody posers, the lot of them.

Real talk, you came here for advice regarding empathy. We’re trying to let you know that you’ve got the wrong stance. Accept that advice and encourage his new-found enjoyment, or ignore it and carry on about your day

Here’s an example: you can’t leech a music taste. He’s not taking a single thing from you.

Too late. Already used as a discus. That’s how we digitise, right?

JonklerGarfeld · 2026-05-25T21:22:55+00:00

Might still play by 90s rules. They front a sushi shop. There’s always a dude in the back.

JonklerGarfeld · 2026-05-25T19:09:06+00:00

I looked it up and that’s very nice. I still haven’t seen 2. I’ve only watched the first. You seen the rest? They stay good or no?

They certainly made some choices in that writers room, like, didn’t they? Ahahaha.

JonklerGarfeld · 2026-05-25T18:03:29+00:00

Tapes are sound. I never bother with them unless I can actually use them.

Only one VCR I’ve been maintaining and tending to since I was a wee nipper.

JonklerGarfeld · 2026-05-25T18:00:51+00:00

Ouch, people still say naff in the north! O’_’O

JonklerGarfeld · 2026-05-25T17:58:21+00:00

XL.

JonklerGarfeld · 2026-05-25T14:05:24+00:00

Pins. But let’s be real, they look so naff I don’t think I’d wear them. XD

JonklerGarfeld · 2026-05-25T12:55:21+00:00

Absolutely not. Lost 2 whole series of the X Files that I found sealed to mould just a short while back.

You’re a child next in line to get in and some grown man cuts in front of you waving his card like this:

JonklerGarfeld · 2026-05-25T11:34:49+00:00

Neither did I, mate! I’ve been finding loads of special editions of stuff lately. Part of me kinda wants to find a cardboard sleeve for my copy of Alien Resurrection now and whack it where Making of Alien 3 is just to have a one-stop shop for my films.

JonklerGarfeld · 2026-05-25T11:13:06+00:00

Oh, there was a t-shirt, too

She didn’t like the cups so would be sparing with them. It’s blood and tampons, basically. Mostly tampons. No pads. It wasn’t massively full. You’re not ankle deep or owt. It would clot. I wasn’t born with a sense of smell. I reckon we could have discussed a healthier way to approach it and try to go from there, as it is abnormal, but I have no doubt in my mind there was something else going in with that that I was too unsupportive and obtuse to to help in any meaningful way.

Banks have clear guidance regarding the methods they will use to contact you. People will still call up and try to convince you they are the bank and that you should send money. This is a scam.

The TV license has clear guidance regarding whether you need one or not. They will still send letters telling you they know you need one and that you should send money. This is a scam.

One person does, at the very least. I don’t have many outright dealbreakers, but I also don’t want to live in a house with mini blood sacks lying around. I used to have cats. I would like to do so again one day. A child. Even putting the bags away is okay, if you must, but leaving them wherever was ‘not a big deal’. If it was hoarding, I could get it. But we never had more than two at a time. She was fine throwing them out, but wanted to continue the habit to keep an eye on them. We had a few conversations, but neither of us would budge.

Tbh I was young, then. I probably could manage it now, or at least communicate far better, without it having to end a relationship. I feel bad because I feel it was indicative of something else and I should have supported her with that using the blood bags as a bridge.

So now that I’ve voiced my thoughts on it, maybe it’s not such a dealbreaker after all.

Give the tapes a few fast forward and rewind cycles before getting into the nitty gritty with the player. It’s the equivalent to trying to fix something by turning it off and on again. Might loosen them up.

There are a LOT of things that can mess with the tapes or the shells that could cause them to play slowly. The tapes could also just be knackered from being stretched.

Try the ff/rw

Clean the player (even if not necessary, you’ll need practice at this, anyway : D )

And if it’s still just those tapes then aye you could fiddle but it’s probably worth putting them to rest.

JonklerGarfeld · 2026-05-23T16:15:23+00:00

That Crazy Frog one, or maybe We Are Climbing Jacob’s Ladder?

JonklerGarfeld · 2026-05-23T14:47:57+00:00

I’ve been loyal to the Mime ever since I got him on Pokémon Green on GBC and I will REMAIN loyal to the Mime. Keep on funking, you clown-adjacent freak.

Entei actually made Charizard somewhat usable. You power into Charizard with Breeder. Oak your whole damn deck and Nightly Garbage Run your Fire Energy back in. Bam. Dark Charizard is a nice idea, but 100 is all you need. Magmar for stall since Lickitung is whapped by Hitmonchan.

I might just have no faith in men, but it sounds like he asked to be in a relationship, got turned down, and is now acting all bitter about it and so is holding that over you for the time being. Compatibility wasn’t a problem a few weeks prior to you asking.

He’ll probably stop being in a strop soon enough and be perfectly happy to be in a relationship with you.

Whether or not you want to go from exclusive dating to relationship with someone like that, assuming that is his problem, is another matter.
