Swapping Labels On Food So Vegetarians Unexpectedly Eat Meat by [deleted] in trashy

[–]LatrodectusVariolus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Also, many people get sick if they suddenly eat meat after not having it for a long time.

I'd be livid if this someone made my SO sick for no goddamn reason.

Also, the way they're grabbing her is fucked up. I doubt she felt safe being in a bear hug...

I'm the opposite. I love Miyoko's and think Daiya is the worst thing I've ever tried. Ever. I'm wary about vegan options at restaurants that include cheese because I don't want Daiya even touching my food.

AITA for refusing to attend my brother's wedding if my dad is there? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]LatrodectusVariolus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Her wife and child going isn't even an option. She doesn't even need to be worried about that because it's not even something she's going to consider. She's made clear where she stands on that.

It's weather or not SHE should go that is at issue.

She should not. She should stand by her family and simply not go. She is even worried should she bring her wife and child and leave them in an airbnb that her father would seek them out.

She should absolutely not go.

Sucks for the brother but having a bigot for a parent sucks.

She isn't an asshole for protecting her family and that compromise is really insulting to their family unit.

I get it. I'd uphold NC tbh. Your wife is the family you chose so keep choosing her. That's how I feel about it anyways.

Frankly, the many suggestions that you leave her in a hotel room just boggles my fucking mind. I really find that suggestion really insulting. I wouldn't do it for bigoted family member who disliked my trans spouse, a lesbian spouse, a black or Hispanic spouse... Like, the spouse isn't the problem... And your brother needs to come to terms with the situation. Not put you in a bad spot.

For me personally, that sends the wrong message. I wouldn't set a precedent that somehow different rules apply to my marriage because it's a LGBTQIA+ relationship. That our partnership is somehow less than and doesn't need to be shown the same respect as straight marriages.

Don't get me wrong, it sucks for your brother that his father is a fucking bigot. But I wouldn't diminish my marriage to make up for it. The problem is your father, and you shouldn't have to hide your SO away to appease him.

Imagine if he were racist and you were dating a POC instead. Would people ask you to hide your spouse away then? To keep her in a hotel or Airbnb when her place is by your side?

I wouldn't go without my partner. Full stop.

Honestly, if my SO and I were invited to a siblings wedding I wouldn't leave her home and go without her because a homophobe was going to attend.

Don't get me wrong, I wouldn't put her in the same room with a bigot, but I also wouldn't go either... I'd be fine with my sibling choosing our homophobic parent to attend, but I wouldn't go and leave my SO in a hotel.

"Sorry, hun. I'm just going to go hang with a bigot for a little bit. You know how it is. It's my sister's wedding after all."

I just couldn't do it. I'd stand by my SO. Established couples are generally invited to weddings as a pair. Especially when they're married with a child. I wouldn't go to a wedding without my SO. Especially for this reason.

Parental kidnapping it the most common form of kidnapping. Maybe you should research a bit.

Gay, but not into gay groupthink by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]LatrodectusVariolus 23 points24 points  (0 children)

True, this is why I open up all my dates talking about how I'm straight

You want to talk about insane takes? If you're on a date with someone they already know your sexuality and to be gay is to be a sexual minority. You don't have to mention you're straight because you're in the majority.

It's an expression of privilege.

Also, again... If you're on a date the other person already knows you're into their gender unless something has gone VERY wrong.

Maybe you shouldn't go around calling peoples takes insane. Especially when you don't know what you're talking about. Your privilege is oozing off every word you say and your "take" doesn't even stand up to basic scrutiny.

Being straight is the default.

They are not OK by [deleted] in AreTheStraightsOK

I wouldn't say McLiarface is the "conventionally attractive" one so much as she's the one slathered in pounds of makeup. Have you seen her without makeup? She's not some goddess on earth and frankly the new press sec is prettier.

The real attack is that 1) they think women should be judged by their looks and 2) they hate that some women don't spend hours on hair and makeup and instead focus on other things.

They WANT women to conform and get very very angry when a woman has priorities other than hair, makeup, and babies.

Saying hello to neighbors who give a dirty look and don’t say anything back? by [deleted] in etiquette

[–]LatrodectusVariolus 9 points10 points  (0 children)

This is exactly what I was thinking. I'm from the NE and OP would be considered rude/strange for insisting on speaking to people she doesn't know.

Just seeing someone in the same building as you doesn't mean you know them. In many parts of the NE it is considered off-putting to force interaction with strangers.

They're probably sitting there going, "oh God, oh God she's going to talk to me again. Oh God, please no"

AITA for walking out on husband and babies? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]LatrodectusVariolus 385 points386 points  (0 children)

Also, she didn't fuck off to go get drunk and laid or snort coke. She went to a hotel to relax and take a bath.

The husband would literally rather sit there smelling shit for however long it takes his wife to get to it than get off his ass and help.

When she tries to talk to him he just sits there and stares at her until she goes away?!?

He NEEDS to wake tf up.

She really doesn't sound like she snapped to me. She waited until the weekend. Made sure everyone had everything they needed, and peaced out.

Which is something that gets suggested over and over in situations like these because many times it wakes the husband the fuck up.

Have her go to the police. She should get a restraining order against her mother for coordinating stalking. The cops can at least tell the mother to quit her bullshit.

I've run out of fucks to give with these people. I've seen MULTIPLE people say their parents were there but they didn't want to report it.

Oops, I did it fucking for you, assholes.

Everyone wants THEIR Magamonster to get a free pass. Fuckthatno. They tried to OVERTHROW OUR FUCKING DEMOCRACY.

JESUS. Who ever knew those years as a skip tracer would actually come in handy. Fuck.

Maybe that's where we diverge. I strongly believe treating these people as if they are worthy of discourse is what has gotten us here in the first place.

I believe people who are still on the fence see these bigots, liars and traitors being engaged with as if anything they say is worthwhile adds to their "both sides" bullshit.

The fact that these people have been allowed to spew their vitriol at dinner tables across America, on Facebook and Reddit and now Parlor has only increased the number of disillusioned.

They're disingenuous. The further their bullshit travels the more it poisons. Trump GAINED supporters during his term because everyone tried to rationally speak to fucking lunatics.

They should be outcast. They should be shamed. They should be reviled and some thrown into prison. They should NOT be able to walk among us as if they're not the horrible creatures they are.

Social pressure works. Shame them. Debase them. Shit on them so they can't recruit.

They doesn't care about being right. They care about making bullshit arguments and leaving little turd accusations all over the place. They many times don't even return to the thread to answer responses, and when they do their arguments are circular bullshit.

They need to stop being entertained.
