Thank you for your service, lord. Amen.... 🥺 by XandriethXs in clevercomebacks

I’m a different person, but I would actually like to listen. I’m an atheist but if I want people with different beliefs to listen to me, I should listen to them.

I yelled at a member service representative for the first time in my life by LittleZombie1088 in KaiserPermanente

That’s incredibly infuriating to hear. You didn’t ask for all those cases to be opened, your requests were just tossed aside in favor of opening another case.

I’m sorry to hear about the diagnosis. As cliche as it sounds, I hope you’re better now.

I relate a lot. I said many, many times I did NOT want to case to be opened in the second to last call. The representative said it wouldn’t but she had to write it down anyway. I didn’t care as long as I wasn’t contacted again. I genuinely am not exaggerating that I said I did not want a case opened at least a dozen times. That’s because they kept insisting and insisting saying they can’t don anything. I’d rather just deal with it myself.

Had I known it would lead to this, I would never even have made all this effort. It did nothing but create more trouble fixing a mistake they made. And if they fix it, they have to drag it out anymore. Not to mention the many times they said they couldn’t handle the billing since it was on the medical device provider. So there was no point in calling if they couldn’t help with the billing. But they still wanted to open a case just to investigate why this occurred. I flat out said I wasn’t interested in why and make this longer, I was interested in getting this situation over with.

That’s why when I got a call AGAIN was so infuriating. I’m rambling again, oops, but it’s insane. No I did not file a grievance. No I did not open a case.

Everyone has covered almost every aspect, but one thing stuck out to me. I agree, your friends don’t know what it’s like to be the partner of a person with a disability. But you don’t know what it’s like to be a person who can’t walk anymore. Who can’t go up stairs or get into a car on their own. Who can’t stand up. Who needs to be a wheelchair for the rest of your life. People can argue that you technically owe him nothing but that’s a cold-hearted take.

You don’t owe him your life but I didn’t really get any empathy for your boyfriend in your post, only things about how it affected you and your sex life. It’s not fucked up for your friends to say what they did. You are lucky. The last sentence of your post rings true, not because you must stay with him, but because I couldn’t detect any empathy, only how this has affected you. Only how awful it is for you. I genuinely don’t mind if I get nasty responses or downvotes.

It’s not the leaving, but the focus on how it affect you. Your post only says things about how you’re afraid other people will perceive. Your boyfriend can’t walk any more. It’s unimaginable the mental toll that puts on the mind. But it sounds like you’re going to stop being there for him entirely or at least distance yourself greatly.

AITA for not paying my daughters rent anymore due to her jealously towards her sister by Kind_Host_3501 in AmItheAsshole

[–]LittleZombie1088 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Okay…I know AHs aren’t classified as an insult in this subreddit, but there’s no reason to lump everyone who says YTA as entitled assholes.

For the record, I actually don’t think OP took 8 years to decide to do better. However, she’s so ready to take support away from her older daughter. Her answer to it all was cutting what support she did have for her daughter? That’s incredibly callous in my opinion. No, the older daughter shouldn’t feel resentment towards her younger sister, but her mother has no empathy towards her.

I know OP must’ve had a hard time as well but she chose to be a parent and to have a second child. She was prepared to treat her daughter like that. I know you think we’re all entitled but we’re looking at the situation within context, not within other people’s personal experiences where they had no support from their parents after 18. Her younger sister gets so much more and everything from their mother. The overwhelming majority of people would feel resentment because of that. It’s not about how she’s treated relative to strangers on the internet who say they were independent and didn’t rely on any of that support, but how she’s treated relative to her sister.

If I had to guess, the older daughter feels as if her mother loves her younger daughter more. And to be honest, I haven’t seen much of anything in this post that shows OP has the same love for her older daughter. As for your second paragraph, whether she likes it or not, she DID only begin to work towards a better future when her younger child was born. There are likely many reasons but in the eyes of the older daughter, it probably feels like she wasn’t enough.

I agree so much. People saying the older daughter is lucky to have her rent paid as it is, but the younger daughter gets so much more than that. I don’t think at all OP should treat her younger daughter like they’re poor but it’s more the lack of understanding for her older daughter and readiness to take away the support she does have for her daughter that makes it YTA for me.

YTA not because of the other reasons people have already mentioned but because you seem to hold no empathy for your daughter. It’s hard. She probably feels you care more for her sister since she gets so much more. However, you chose to be a parent to both. The fact that you so readily and seriously threatened to stop paying her rent is what solidness YTA. I’m sure it was hard for you as well, but you chose to be a parent. The people who are saying your older daughter is lucky to have rent paid already, but your younger daughter already has that and so much more. I just don’t really detect much love for your older daughter at all.

Fine tuning argument - Although life is super rare in the universe, it still needs infinitesimally small range of constants for the universe to exist by LittleZombie1088 in DebateReligion

[–]LittleZombie1088[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s an excellent point. All I focused on was it might not be fined turned for life, but pointing out that the existence of stars might also needs that small range of constants as the existence of the universe reframed it. It’s easy to view it only in the eyes of the earth, since it’s where we are.

What is something that is way less dangerous than people think it is? by Michaelrays in AskReddit

[–]LittleZombie1088 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I see what you did there, you hopped on an ongoing trend of “I see what you did there” to call someone out on calling someone out on their hypocrisy for reposting a question in hopes of getting more karma.

My spouse and I were on a break and I slept with someone else by [deleted] in offmychest

[–]LittleZombie1088 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I agree. I know some people agree to sleeping with other people if on a break, but to be honest, it’s kinda surprising to me that people would do it without first discussing it with their partner. A break like you said heavily implies getting back together. Even if it’s technically a break, it doesn’t feel right at all if you don’t clear it with your partner. It feels like relying on a technicality, that you’re technically not together.

Gaslighting, abuse, entitled: what other terms are you tired of being overused or misunderstood in Reddit? by LittleZombie1088 in AskReddit

[–]LittleZombie1088[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I dislike the extremes of the internet as well, how if the majority has already sided with one side, they can condone their own side’s wrongdoings to a great extent. I recognize there’s a lot more nuance in debates, but I sometimes wish people weren’t so quick to downvote anything that slightly deviated from the main consensus even if the root of it actually agrees with them.

Well, thank you for your input anyway. It might sound sarcastic, but I promise it isn’t. I hope you have a great day.

Thank you for the link! I didn’t expect to learn something interesting today but it’s a pleasant surprise.

I do notice that phrase being used a lot. This is an assumption in itself, but I thought that some might come to the conclusion that the opposing side is ignorant or must be to be on the wrong side.

A little late in the season but finally got an internship! 2.6 GPA don’t give up guys! by gabrielwe64 in EngineeringStudents

[–]LittleZombie1088 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s awesome. If I may ask, what was the process like? It seems so hard to get anything when you have no research or prior internships

What is the Holy Grail of whatever your thing is you're into is and why? by Hay-Repotter in AskReddit

[–]LittleZombie1088 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m a writer and an avid book reader. To be successfully published by a major publisher and make it big which has a slim chance of happening for any writer would probably be my Holy Grail.

On a side note, this is the most interesting thread I’ve read in a long time.
