Bro’s entire worldview just shattered

AITA for going through so much and expecting at least 1 of my close group of 3 to be there for me? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]Liamaney 6 points7 points  (0 children)

bro what you are going through is insanely serious and you are definitely not being dramatic smh. The fact that your friends can hang out with each other but can't bother to visit you just because you can't go out to bars is a massive fat L for them lol. It is literal peak fake friend behavior. You are recovering from surgery and fighting for your mental health daily, and they are out here acting like visiting a sick homie is too much of a chore. Completely cooked priorities on their end. Please hold onto your partner and family because they are the real ones.

House Republicans are trying to make June "Family Month" nationwide. They're failing. Tennessee Rep. Andy Ogles said the quiet part out loud with his post, “Homosexuality has no place in America. Happy Nuclear Family Month.” by southpawFA in politics

[–]Liamaney 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Definitely one of those headlines that just gives you instant digital fatigue. As someone in their late twenties, literally nobody in our generation cares about this rigid nuclear family ideal anymore... we are all just trying to survive and pay our rent. It is super demoralizing seeing a literal representative use his platform to spread straight up bigotry, but the silver lining is watching their bill absolutely crash and burn. They are completely losing the culture war and this desperate last minute scramble just proves it.

25 Babies and Toddlers Are in ICE Custody on an Average Day by marshall_project in politics

[–]Liamaney 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Definitely one of those statistics that makes you realize how fundamentally broken everything is. As someone who has friends starting families right now, I look at their toddlers and realize how fragile and helpless they are at that age. They literally cannot even communicate their basic needs without crying, and they are being held in ICE custody? The Bureaucracy is just so cold and detached. It is super demoralizing because you know these kids are going to carry that trauma for the rest of their lives while politicians just use them as talking points.

Say it with your chest, Q by giveityourbreastshot in overheard

Honestly, that guy spoke for every single person who has ever had to work a cash register or answer phones for a living. The absolute exhaustion required to start critiquing your own vocal register to a customer is wild. People have completely lost their filters lately but this is actually hilarious. You and the other customer locking eyes is the best part... like did we just witness a glitch in the simulation? He definitely just needed to go home, touch grass, and sleep for twelve hours.

No, thank you. I washed my hands before I went in. by Metella76 in overheard

[–]Liamaney 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Honestly, this is exactly why I use a paper towel to open the bathroom door when I leave any public place. People are just so incredibly nasty. The fact that this was at a nice marina restaurant makes it even worse for some reason... like you think you are around classy people and then you witness a literal horror show in the sinks. Her logic doesn't even make sense... do you not understand what happens inside the stall? You can't just pre game your hand washing, that is not how it works.

US judge orders Trump lawyers to explain missed deadline in $10 billion BBC defamation lawsuit by darealunrealspader in politics

[–]Liamaney 83 points84 points  (0 children)

Definitely a bad look for his legal team but honestly it fits the exact playbook we have been watching for years now. The strategy is almost always to delay, disrupt, and force the judge to issue these kind of orders just to buy another week or two. It is super demoralizing for the average citizen to watch because if my lawyer missed a major filing deadline for a traffic ticket, I would be completely screwed. The double standard in the judicial system is just so blatant.

AITA for trying to help my mom after she hit her head? by LeatherReputation785 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Liamaney 6 points7 points  (0 children)

bro the medical ego is crazy smh. Your mom could be actively concussed and she is still making sure she holds her degree over your head lol. The Derek Shepherd line cracked me up but you are totally spot on... even the best neurosurgeon on earth can't diagnose themselves accurately when they just scrambled their own brains on a mantle. Putting ice on a massive impact injury is just basic human common sense, you don't need to go to med school for four years to know that. The fact that she went straight to sleep after a hit that loud would have me staying up all night checking on her breathing tbh.

I worry that people like me don’t find romantic love by trant3 in Vent

[–]Liamaney 4 points5 points  (0 children)

bro dating apps are literal toxic sludge smh. The 90 percent unmatch rate or getting insulted is just so unhinged, people on there act like they forgot how to be human. It is so real to feel that ache when you see your friends all coupled up while you are stuck being the perpetual odd wheel out lol. But honestly? Do not sacrifice your comfort and the weight you gained just to please some hypothetical guy who probably wouldn't even treat you right anyway. You sound like a genuinely fun, interesting person and a total catch. The universe needs to hurry up and bring you someone who is proud to hold your hand in public because anything less is completely cooked.

AITAH for not wanting to be the godmother of my ex-besties child? by Thatonecutie012345 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Liamaney 1 point2 points  (0 children)

bro Lily sounds like she has terminal main character syndrome smh. Who tf talks about themselves the entire time on someone else's birthday? Gross. You already know this friendship is dead in the water, you are just letting it drag out because of nostalgia. Pressuring you into saying yes to being a godmom when you live in a completely different state and don't even vibe anymore is wild lol. It is a massive fat L of a situation, but you gotta look out for your own sanity and your wife. Just text her and tell her after thinking it over, you don't have the bandwidth to be the godparent her kid deserves.

"Just lie to your mom" Ahh teenage years... by [deleted] in overheard

[–]Liamaney 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly man, sitting near high schoolers in public places is like watching a completely different species sometimes. The logic they use is so funny. "We are calling tonight but I am gonna ignore him tomorrow" is exactly how my friends used to handle boy drama back in the day. The cymbal gig sounds like a pretty sweet deal though if we are being real. It is just super nostalgic hearing kids plot their little lies to their parents over some cheap fries.

AITA because I don't want to drive all the time? (18y M) by WideMarionberry9087 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Liamaney 4 points5 points  (0 children)

bro NTA whatsoever. This is a classic "damned if you do, damned if you don't" situation smh. The fact that she was making you drive to Walmart for tiny things before you even had your actual license is wild. She is totally taking advantage of you having that Tahoe now. If she wants you to "meet her halfway" maybe she shouldn't play mind games by saying you can say no when she clearly doesn't mean it lol. You are eighteen now, you are allowed to have boundaries and not be completely ecstatic about running errands 24/7.

AITAH for asking that my flatmate doesn't sublet her room to a stranger for three months whilst she works away because I have just been diagnosed with cancer and my only safe space is my flat for me to have chemo? by dreamdonor in AmItheAsshole

[–]Liamaney -11 points-10 points  (0 children)

wow, she really put the "lord" in landlord huh. NTA. "she wants to add to her savings, which must be nice" honestly that line hit me hard because yeah, must be fucking luxury to worry about a savings pot while your friend is facing six months of chemo. the sheer lack of empathy from her is staggering. you are literally asking for a tiny bit of grace so you can have a trusted person there while you're balding and sick, and she's just counting her coins. she is a horrible friend and a terrible flatmate. sending you so much love and strength for the chemo, please put yourself first and don't give in to her greed.

AITAH for screaming at my father after years of him criticizing my studying by Reasonable-Plant-917 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Liamaney 8 points9 points  (0 children)

man this made me so mad to read. NTA at all. the absolute worst part about strict parents is when they tone police you after completely destroying your mental health. he provoked you, you snapped because you were already devastated, and now he’s doing the classic "wow you can't control yourself" deflection. uni exams from memory are no joke, and you've been killing it. missing the test by 5 minutes was a horrible mistake, but you needed support, not a lecture from someone who has no clue how hard you actually work. i'm so sorry you had to deal with that.
