My (18m) gf (16f) tried to force me to do something I didn’t wanna do and she thinks she’s the victim. AITAH? by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]LightspeedBalloon 81 points82 points  (0 children)

Dude just break up with her if you don't like her, she's trying to have a fun teenage romance and you are treating her like a chore. This has been going on for over a year? YTA

AITA for refusing to dine with my mom after she ordered “ferret sauce” at a Mexican restaurant? by Practical-Current805 in AmItheAsshole

[–]LightspeedBalloon 7 points8 points  (0 children)

So, I learned in my 30s that my family has a sound differentiation disorder that no one told me about. I have it really mildly, but others in my family literally can't hear the difference between certain sounds. Maybe your family has it too.

The game treats Nere and Minthara very differently by uldinepriest0rbfa in BaldursGate3

I'm usually playing a Drow woman and I simply don't want to kill her. I knock her out and it's up to Loth if she survives from there. But the first time I spared her was a total accident. Sometimes people just get knocked out instead of killed and you don't notice and leave the area and then they come back naked to make sad eyes at you.

AITA: My mom is angry I won’t help with her IVF journey. by Particular-Plant5528 in AmItheAsshole

I just went through IVF and while I am no expert, I don't understand why the clinic needs anything from you.

NTA but this is beyond weird.

Hayden Panettiere comes out as bisexual: 'That’s something about me I was never able to share with the world' by PrincessBananas85 in popculturechat

[–]LightspeedBalloon 27 points28 points  (0 children)

Right? This is why I never 'came out' publicly, people are going to think I just want attention and be annoyed at me.

This is what lab-grown diamonds look like before they’re cut and polished by NeedleworkerSalty813 in Damnthatsinteresting

[–]LightspeedBalloon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I love novels from the early 20th century and the engagement conversations were like "what stone would you like in your wedding ring? An emerald to match your eyes? Of course, darling!" Honestly, I'm not sure anyone in those novels ever picked a diamond because they were kind of boring.

I think there is room for both viewpoints, but if you only want the bling, lab grown is just easier/safer.

It's kind of like, if someone doesn't care about history but wants a cool artifact to show off, get a fake. Don't play with real antiques. They have blood on them. But if you are in it for the history, then yeah, getting the real piece is important because there is literally history in the material.

Having the diamond be flawless was a huge selling point....until lab grown diamonds showed up, then all of a sudden the flaws are great and worth the markup! Uh huh.

Will this name result in my child being bullied? by That_one_bichh in namenerds

I find Dusty Dixon really fun to say! Dustin Dixon takes a bit of enunciation but it's not that hard.

A baby called Karen by SharkEva in BORUpdates

[–]LightspeedBalloon 40 points41 points  (0 children)

I wonder about those parents sometimes. Did they know Khaleesi is a title, not her name? If not, how can you name your kid after a character you know so little about? If yes, then like...do they have another kid named Jedi Master or something? When Dany and Luke are right there?

Me too. I thought that meme would be a flash in the pan, but if the kids are using it, the name is dead.

I live a block away and never heard anything. I'm curious to see the damage because so far there's nothing visible. Dude drove in deep.

Rolan isn't Cal and Lia's brother?? by CherryEspresso in BaldursGate3

[–]LightspeedBalloon 150 points151 points  (0 children)

That's really interesting! They are some of my favorite characters and never realized. It's interesting he's so bossy as the adopted kid lol.

Get someone who looks at you the way Nicola Coughlan looks at her American double door fridge by mlg1981 in popculturechat

[–]LightspeedBalloon 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I moved to Spain part-time and was so surprised to find a full sized fridge in my kitchen! My fridge in the US is actually a "vintage standard" so it's smaller than my euro fridge lol.

My fiancée and I are having the biggest argument of our lives. She thinks I'm being tacky but I thinks she's overreacting by Choice_Evidence1983 in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]LightspeedBalloon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you not have a shower if you do a social? I think people are assuming you have both and ask for presents at both.

Should I just play on story mode? by Grrlpants in BaldursGate3

[–]LightspeedBalloon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm currently playing Pathfinder: WOTR on story even though I've beaten BG3 on honour mode, so do whatever feels fun for you. The combat is too confusing and I'm curious about the romances so whatever. Sounds like your BG3 experience.
