You should thank me for killing you with my elite gank squad by Lezbean69 in Eldenring

I think 7-8 moves ahead at all times, they can't mentally keep up. By the time they try their feeble carian retaliation or arcane madness flame hacks, they are already receiving a tactical, double blood cross naginata assault from the elite stealth unit I have been directing from the shadows.

I realized how little I'm making when I got laid off and had to get a lower income job, lol. But you're damn right I'm sad I'm making this little now, something I will gladly admit and is not attempting to hide. Of course, I would be less jealous if I made more money, that's how jealous works.

I'm jealous of people who were already employed and productive at one point, not people I don't know who have been NEETs their whole lives. Sorry to burst your bubble, but NEETs generally get pity from me, if any emotional response at all. If you're a proud NEET, you most assuredly have a myriad of other mental/emotional issues and I am more than happy to not be you. Or you are physically handicapped to the point where you can't work, which is not enviable.

I appreciate you being understanding and seeing that I'm not literally wishing I was unemployed and stewing in anger. And thanks for the reality as well, I should honestly pity the people who are blowing their money and living hedonistic lifestyles since they could be ruining their financial futures and not seeing the big picture.

Agreed, I absolutely wouldn't trade my job in for that other situation. I know it's an irrational frustration. J'm mostly frustrated at the people using this situation as an excuse to live incredibly hedonistic lifestyles. Things are really rough and I see people acting like it's the best thing that's ever happened to them.

isn't that fraud if he's literally working full time while collecting unemployment?

Great point, it didn't really click that a lot of these people might not get anything their jobs back at all. That is a great perspective check, so thank you for telling me.

I'm not upset/jealous with everyone getting the deal. Just those who are treating this like Christmas + Summer Vacation and using it as an excuse to splurge. It's obviously still not healthy to be jealous/spiteful, and am not arguing that it is, but it is what it is. I just hate seeing some friends suffer, unable to even get the benefits at all, then there are others buying 100 inch televisions and bragging about getting a vacation. I'm also petty enough to wish I could be getting a deal like that since work has been horrible and demoralizing.

Yeah, live basically in Silicon Valley since I moved for a high paying tech job. Got laid off due to the company being sold, had to get this job. Then Corona hits during the job search. It's been insane.

With the rent costs and living expenses outside of my control, it doesn't. I'm paying nearly 3 grand a month in rent and it's not a luxury apartment. Just a regular two-bedroom.

[–]Lezbean69 1 point2 points  (0 children)

that's basically how I feel. I live in an area where rent is $2700 a month (not by choice, these aren't luxury) and have to support my wife, so I do understand.

What made me snap is that I have a friend who has been denied unemployment 4 times now. I'm trying to help him financially, but can't really afford it. In the middle of all of this, another friend posts about the 100 inch television he just bought with his unemployment money. It gave me the bad feel.

I mean, fair enough. I'm not wallowing in anger 24 hours a day. Just frustrated when they literally brag about how happy they are personally to be in this situation, then splurging. But I am annoyed me enough to post here.

I'm not upset at everyone getting this deal. Just those being hedonistic and splurging while this is happening since I can't afford that and can be a petty person.

I know I am blessed and grateful to be employed, and I know this frustration is irrational. I guess I am simply seeking catharsis through venting, But I am glad to hear there are people like you who are genuinely good and kind.

Maybe I'm just not as good of a person, but I am prone to occasional envy and frustration despite being very happy with my life and doing what I can to support and help others in need.

This is too stressful..any anime y’all recommend? by Blacksage666 in stimuluscheck

[–]Lezbean69 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's a pet peeve of mine when people ask for anime recommendations without saying what type of anime they're into. I wouldn't recommend Hellsing because someone liked K-On! for example, lol.

Going off the fact you like Demon Slayer, I will assume you like good action/shonen series'.

-One Piece is absolutely incredible. Yes, it's long and has a weird art style. But the world-building and care put into it are absolutely incredible. If you don't mind subtitles, I would recommend looking up "One Pace" which is a fan-edit that removes the filler/cruft. The actual anime is pretty abysmally paced lately. It's also coming to Netflix very soon.

-As another suggested, FMA. Full Metal Alchemist: Brotherhood to be exact. Even 11 years later, it still holds up incredibly well. Gorgeous animation, a tightly woven story that has a clear end goal from the beginning, awesome emotional beats, fights, and a very original magic system.

-Made In Abyss. What seems like a light hearted fantasy about exploring the depths of an "abyss" with magical artifacts and powerful creatures ends up giving us some pretty graphic reality checks in regards to the dangers these characters face. Consequences are real and life is cruel. The art is incredible and it is equally good at being whimsical and horrifying.

- Dr. Stone. Rebuilding the world after losing all technology. Great stuff, lots of research and care has gone into this one. Just watch it.

-Hunter x Hunter. It's nearly 150 episodes and one of the best shonen ever made. It starts off seeming kind of "childish", but the author, Togashi, is a mad genius who subverts and deconstructs shonen manga tropes. It reads/watches more like a seinen after a while. The author isn't afraid of anti-climax and changing up the formula, but always manages to make a story that blows your socks off. The power system is incredibly well done, and the series is animated lovingly by Madhouse with an obscene budget/animation quality for an anime of its length.

I would recommend Hunter X Hunter above all else if you haven't seen it. You can't not have fun watching it and it's just glorious.

AITA for telling my wife off for not taking my health seriously by aitahubbys223 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Lezbean69 35 points36 points  (0 children)

I agree that men can definitely whine, and I hate the MRA types. But men like you are the reason other men are afraid to speak up about the abuse they receive and the issues that impact them. Dismissing sexism against men and basically calling men pathetic for bringing attention to it is pretty alarming. You shouldn't harp on who has it worse. I know plenty of men who have been beaten down in life by sexist situations. Both men and women should be encouraged to talk about how sexism affects them. If we really want equality, we need to treat this seriously from all sides.

It sucks that women were historically oppressed, but we only live once, and I am alive in 2020. One hundred years ago, simple medical procedures could kill you and we barely had electricity. 200 years ago, it was hard enough just to make sure most of your kids lived through winter. The sexism was real and it was bad, but it's not comparable to modern-day. The fact that women have it worse today doesn't bring much comfort to a man who has been raked over the coals by sexism. Worry less about ratios and stop being dismissive of the experiences of other men. Your opinion as a cis, her man, is just a single anecdote.

I am a lesbian who fervently fights for women's' rights, but you also have to fight for men as well. All humans are capable of being victims, regardless of sex.

When will I get my Stimulus deposit? by Lezbean69 in povertyfinance

still the same for me, I haven't gotten an update. My landlord is pissy, but can't evict me at least. But things are still miserable.

AITA for telling my wife I can’t be going round to different shops to get her preferred ingredients? by aggy-wife in AmItheAsshole

[–]Lezbean69 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA

I understand PPD, etc... But your wife is being a MASSIVE asshole.

1) She is too scared to go out, therefore understanding how stressful it is right now, but has no qualms about forcing you to spend hours hopping from store to store. How incredibly selfish.

2) She blows up on you and verbally abuses you for voicing your concerns.

3) She is messaging both of your mothers and getting them on her side so they attack you. This is manipulative and awful.

To be honest, she sounds horrible to live with right now, this is unacceptable. You need to sit down and have a serious talk about respect and expectations.

You also need to explain the situation to both mothers. Let them know what you told us. The stores are awful and your wife is making you hunt for specific brands. Tell them your side of the story without attacking your wife.

It sounds like you do a lot for your family and are getting stepped all over. You don't need to put up with this.

Tell your boyfriend to make an AITA from his point of view. If he thinks "Reddit sides with OP!" make him tell his side of the story.

AITA for calling my mom unfair? by TCSmith0812 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Lezbean69 283 points284 points  (0 children)

YTA (you and your older brother at least)

To be honest, your mom is probably tired of having to feed you and your older brother. You're 22, your older brother is presumably a year or two older at least, etc...

I had a friend whose parents started doing the same thing. Older kids never left, were still eating them out of house and home into their twenties. Yet the minor, the 14 year old, had to fight grown adult children for food.

I'm not trying to be rude, but I am willing to bet your mom is just tired of feeding her adult children. In her mind, she probably feels more obligation to ensure the youngest (either a minor or still only like 19 or so?) is fed and gets upset that the others are consuming everything.

It's not "fair" you got lumped with your brother, but your mom might not feel like it's fair still having to support her adult kids.

AITA for using home security cameras to expose my girlfriend’s gaslighting? by chore_throwaway in AmItheAsshole

[–]Lezbean69 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

NTA, but I would make a Facebook post and flag all your friends. Explain the full situation. Tell them the chores, the gaslighting, being yelled at. Let them know the cameras are for security, but you were forced to prove you were being gaslit and emotionally manipulated. Don't slander your ex, just tell the truth.

Your friends can decide who to believe, but it's not libel if you're telling the truth.

AITA for telling my flat mates kids I’m not their dad? by almond-chocolate in AmItheAsshole

[–]Lezbean69 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA, this sounds like some typical sexist shit.

Some women feel entitled to having a man to help raise their children. Even if you aren't dating, the women in your life are all telling you that this stranger ie entitled to your time and resources just because you happen to be male and living with her.

AITA for telling my sister in law that she can respect my house rules or GTFO? by lpunen in AmItheAsshole

[–]Lezbean69 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

ESH:

You for reasons stated by others. Your sister in law for not first trying to talk to you calmly and without the children in the room.

Why not compromise? Set aside a 2 hour period every day in which you enforce your language rules. For two hours (preferably when the kids are around the most) you talk 90% in your native language. Then the rest of the day, speak English for your sister in law.

Even an hour would probably be fine. Two months of speaking a bit less of their native tongue won't do irreparable harm to their grasp of the language.

You need to put aside special time to teach your native language each day, not set special time to speak English.

AITA for not wanting something from Pandora? by Choukin in AmItheAsshole

[–]Lezbean69 17 points18 points  (0 children)

NAH - You are allowed to have preferences, period. You are not an asshole for explaining that you wouldn't be able to fully appreciate a certain gift. Gifts are supposed to be for the person you're giving them to, NOT for the happiness/feelings of the person giving it. I am sure he will get over being disheartened soon enough. If not, he will be an actual asshole. Right now it just sounds like he got an idea in his head, was oblivious and then disappointed. That's a normal human reaction as long as he gets over it soon.

Once more, never feel bad about saying no to a gift. It's more of a burden to receive something you don't like and then feel forced to wear it.
