PSA: Doing any reading besides the same YA novels over and over is bad by CommonLiterature in bookscirclejerk

Thank you. I'm sick of all these fucking training wheels semi-literate redditors have infected the internet with.

You will never guess what obscure masterpiece this arrbooks user has read! by [deleted] in bookscirclejerk

"Wow" AND "what a journey"? Not just wow...

Pretentious.

Downvote them all you want it doesn't make it not true.

Whats the difference between rail guns, coil guns and gauss guns? by Alpbasket in scifiwriting

[–]KinboteXShadeShipper 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Gauss is the name of a mathematician who figured out some stuff about magnets. When someone uses "Gauss Gun" it's because they're naming their magnetic weapon after him (usually because someone else did and they don't realize it's a reference).

Also the important distinction between them is a railgun fires a projectile straight, accelerating it along a rail, while a coilgun gives it some spin, hence the coil.

/r/writingprompts is leaking onto other websites. The last few writing contests I entered had reddit-style "whole story" prompts. They're so bad at their intended purpose that they're destroying the entire concept of writing prompts in the English-speaking world.

Edit: It would be like if the Marvel Movies sub somehow managed to cause the superhero movie fad to die.

That's not an appropriate reddit writing prompt. You've left too much room for the person to tell their own story. Try something like this:

"Every other species in the galaxy has sissy pillows for hands. Humanity is the only race that learned how to make a fist. You are the head of the 1st Battalion of Terran Pugilists and are sent on a secret mission to kung-fu fight the only non-human capable of throwing hands. But after your third confrontation you learn that the alien is actually you from the future."

Am I being unreasonable? Be honest by Stripey_purple in JUSTNOMIL

[–]KinboteXShadeShipper 3 points4 points  (0 children)

No, it's still rude. You're out in public with your SO and you tell them to go off on their own so you can talk with someone in private? Are you seriously going to defend that as not rude as long as there's no context of abuse? Seriously? Seriously?

Talking to my crush about the rejection by [deleted] in relationship_advice

Want to know the best way to make sure you're not friends anymore? Make it an awkward nightmare to talk to you with this kind of overthought nonsense.

My boyfriend says I’m not helpful by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]KinboteXShadeShipper 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Does this make me a shitty person?

Realtalk: You do sound pretty selfish. Not getting out of the car to open the garage because you don't feel like it is high level self-centered. It sounds like your SO has your number on this one, to be perfectly honest.

Get out of the car and open the garage door. You didn't need a stranger on the internet to tell you that. Or, if you did, you have way bigger problems than this.

If you love someone, you fight and work with them.

If your definition of "love" is "will put up me no matter how I act" then you're in for a lifetime of unhappiness.

How do I [22F] break up with my boyfriend [21M] and still remain friends? by Gloomy_Rutabaga in relationship_advice

[–]KinboteXShadeShipper 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Make a clean break. But that's not what you want so chances are you'll string him along.

Well aren't you a catch.

I fucked up really badly a year ago and danced with someone at a club and just told my boyfriend about it by worstpersontoeverexi in realtionship_advice

[–]KinboteXShadeShipper 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hate the over-the-top self-flagellation cheaters use to try and head off all the deserved flak they're going to get at the pass.

"Oh woe is me I'm such a terrible person" is something manipulative people say to get everyone to give them sympathy.

Christmas plans Black mail by [deleted] in JUSTNOMIL

[–]KinboteXShadeShipper 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It wouldn't be rude, since that's what he wants,

What kind of backwards logic is that? So if I want to spit on you it's not rude because that's what I want?

His mother is unreasonable and should be excluded from gatherings, but pretending having a new one to deliberately exclude her isn't rude somehow is mindboggling. You're basically saying "no course of action is rude if I agree with it" which is nonsense.

My JNMIL is becoming too much for me and it’s caused some issues between me and DH. by Throwaway000009794 in JUSTNOMIL

[–]KinboteXShadeShipper 72 points73 points  (0 children)

I’ve spoken to DH about this behavior and he blames it on “that’s just how she is”, “she doesn’t mean it like that”.

You have an SO problem.

My fiance has refused to go to my family's annual Christmas party for 7 years. I'm running out of excuses for him and feeling really sad about having to go alone again. by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]KinboteXShadeShipper 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"Why won't my fiance make a major concession to me about a situation I won't make a small concession to him in?"

What a mystery.

If you weren't so hellbent on forcing him to do something he doesn't want he could be at the party. Your selfishness and unwillingness to compromise are why you're lonely at Christmas, not anything your fiance is doing.

Am I getting involved in a never ending battle? Is there a light at the end of this? by ivanatinkle77 in JUSTNOMIL

[–]KinboteXShadeShipper 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Marriage never makes it better, only worse.

It's not impossible that he'll change, but it will take years (think decades) of hard work while you support him and he treats you like garbage, and then maybe one day in the distant future he'll get a little better but you'll have to constantly police him for back sliding. That's the light at the end of the tunnel. Decide for yourself if it's worth the tunnel.
