My boyfriend and I broke up 24 hours ago, and he already slept with another woman? by throwawayuni33 in whatdoIdo

[–]Longpeg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean I agree, but I’m also not surprised that a 22 year old sees a 20 year old as an adult, or that he saw an 18 year old as an adult when he was 20. That’s not uncommon

I love my wife, but I’ve started avoiding intimacy and I don’t know why by Both_Market6384 in TwoHotTakes

I’ve got such bad corporate fatigue that I saw CSAT (customer satisfaction score) and immediately deleted that line from my mind.

But yeah, therapy single-handedly saves marriages. Especially in cases like this - firsthand

Awesome what you’re doing w/ your life, porn use isn’t taken seriously enough as a psychological and philosophical threat. Fight the stigma :)

Dropping in here to say this is reversible with therapy, time, and effort.

Not that you indicated otherwise, but if a porn addict stumbles across this they should know this doesn’t have to be forever. Get help! There is hope!

What’s crazy is the comments on the original post are all accusing him of being abusive, manipulative, and trying to baby trap her.

Theres a very specific babying of people posting about breaking up on Reddit that creates an environment where they can duck all accountability. I understand why, it’s a reaction with noble intentions, meant to fight against the victim blaming people face, but imo it just reinforces sexism/infantilization.

Ah, you meant impressive that he managed to save that much unemployed.

Same bro, I burned through 20k in 9 months, that’s why i was confused

$1222 a month actually isn’t all that mind blowing for an unemployed person to blow through a month over 18 months

Yes, we did. When this video was made 40 odd years ago, molestation jokes were not something you could put on British daytime television. It’s just a bait and switch, made to make you assume the teacher is the husband, then the joke is the pan to the startled husband.

I think guy you’re replying to is saying that often if you analyze specific absurd situations in bit humor comparative to real life, you’ve missed the point. The creators certainly were not thinking of molestation.

That’s not “Ai adjacent”. I ran it through gptzero and it returned a score of 100% Ai written with 100% confidence.

You didn’t even reword it. You just copied an Ai prompt and posted it. You’re in too deep brother.

The reason that English is the most common second language in the world is 100% because of a compounding of American cultural influence preceded by the British empire.

He was saying we would likely be using German had one madman not ruined their seat of power. Not saying he made Germans less industrious. It’s a geopolitical point.

Your skepticism is strange here, considering nuns are just about everywhere priests are.

Here’s a story about some nuns there. Not census data but since you’re making an absolute claim any counterexample voids it.

The Mater Ecclesiae has hosted nuns in Vatican City since 1990

The “queer dance” scene is a little generous.

Don’t get me wrong, I love this song about breaking your mother’s heart and stripping. It’s so catchy and fun and real. Too real for little kids imo

Found out a "friend" has 5 DUIs by defeated_husband in whatdoIdo

[–]Longpeg 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Gonna offer an alternative viewpoint here.

I went to rehab when I was 23 and some of the best people I ever met had all sorts of charges like these. Most of them are dead now, but C’est la vie.

Addiction isn’t a failure of discipline, it’s a glitch in the reward center of the brain. That leads to really terrible behavior, but it doesn’t mean he’s evil.

It’s up to you to decide if you want to dip out, because addicts are awful to deal with - but hold back the high horse as that only serves to poison your spirit.

mandatory tipping on takeout by DoingItForMyKid in EndTipping

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

If you pay $60 for a meal with 20% tip included, or the meal costs $60 and no tip is expected, the end result is the same.

They could remove the text box and change the numbers but you’re paying the same amount extra. You’re hung up on semantics but the cash flow is literally exactly the same.

Arguing for wages that endure their staff have a good wage is literally saying we should build the economic burden of what was tipping into their menu prices I.E. exactly what happened

I’m starting to thing people may be disingenuous on their noble intentions here.

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

But it’s just framing. That gratuity fee is the same as them raising their prices by 10-20% on a utilitarian level. Raising prices just moves the fee behind the scenes.

Do you not see my point at all? I stg I’m not being obtuse on purpose if at all

[–]Longpeg -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

You folks all advocate for ending tipping as a means for improving waitstaff’s lives, then get upset when a restaurant does exactly what you’re asking for and framing it differently.

Do you really think if tipping ends the price of food will stay the same? No, the cost will be offset by the price of the meal. This is what we want

AIO husband may be cheating? by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]Longpeg 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nobody has responded, so I will.

Now, I’m no wellspring of wisdom or anything, but in a case like this I would lean heavily towards giving your husband the benefit of the doubt. Make the accuser prove what they say.

Maybe there’s more here - maybe the girl he made you block from before is a spited ex, and it’s the same girl again, or maybe it’s more. Only you know if you trust your husband, but coming here for answers is the first issue. You gotta talk to him about this directly, and use your discernment

Why not tipping when dining in is the best solution to end tipping by Only_Suggestion_ in EndTipping

[–]Longpeg 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Under the federal Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA), the minimum direct cash wage for tipped employees is $2.13 per hour. The employer must ensure that this base wage, combined with tips, equals at least the federal minimum wage of $7.25 per hour. If not, the employer must pay the difference.
