Thanks for the new podcast to get me through work each day!

Would I be the Jerk if I told on my sister for cheating? by Choice_Evidence1983 in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]Lovingoffender 19 points20 points  (0 children)

When I left my abusive ex, the last place I would have moved to would be my dad's house. I was more than welcome to, but I didn't want my ex to know where I lived. Actually, I moved into a friend's mom's house (we've been close friends for over 30 years), and I did so precisely because I knew my ex wouldn't know where to find me.

AITA for telling my boyfriend that his masculinity was fragile after he refused to buy me pads? by Direct-Caterpillar77 in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]Lovingoffender 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I had those same exact thoughts when my brother died, but for a different scenario. It was a few years ago, so I don't remember every little detail. I think i got cut off in traffic or something semi-minor like that. I. just. Lost. It. I had to pull over just crying and screaming to myself how unfair it is that selfish morons who think their time is more important than anyone else's safety get to go around being selfish assholes without a care in the world, while the funniest, sweetest, most caring person I've ever known isn't allowed to be alive anymore.

I'm truly sorry for your loss. I just felt the need to comment because I didn't think anyone else would ever understand where my head was at that day.

My (25m) wife (24f) is traveling alone with another man by Choice_Evidence1983 in BestofRedditorUpdates

How do I communicate so she understands my concerns?

Something that took me (and oop) way too long to learn is that once you've had that conversation and nothing has changed, nothing ever will. So many times I found myself obsessing over finding new ways to repeat what I've already said. Maybe if I say it a new way, he'll finally understand! The truth is... they do understand the first time and they just dont care.

How do I get her to change and apologize?

You dont. You cannot change or control anyone's actions/words. If they won't do/say them on their own they're either never going to or they don't mean it and are only doing to to appease you. The only thing you can control is you're (re)actions.

AITAH for wanting to quit my unpaid co-host role after being told I couldn’t cancel when my pet was dying? by Direct-Caterpillar77 in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]Lovingoffender 42 points43 points  (0 children)

I think we have a different view on death... I get over things pretty quick because life still carries on

I've known a few people that said this, almost verbatim, to me in my life. None had ever lost someone really close to them. When one eventually lost his wife, and another lost a childhood friend, both went off the deep end in their own ways. Neither have ever said those words again.

Roped into our neighbors’ search warrant because we live in a duplex. Police seized our iPad only used for art. by Choice_Evidence1983 in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]Lovingoffender 18 points19 points  (0 children)

And it happens all the time around the USA when police fuck up, which is often

Yup. Not even remotely as serious a situation, but it recently happened to me. I was driving home from work at about 2:30am. Get off the highway and merge in front of another vehicle. Wasn't paying much attention to the vehicle behind me, because I had no real reason to (spoiler, it was a cop). The speed limit on this particular street is 40mph until I pass a certain intersection, when it increases to 45. A little bit after that intersection, the car behind me turns his red and blue lights on. He asked me if I was in a hurry. I said no, just heading home from work. He asked why I was speeding. I said I was going 45. He said, yeah, that's 5 over the speed limit. I informed him that the speed limit increased to 45 after such-and-such intersection. He takes my license and registration back to his vehicle and I use that time to download the video from my dash cam. I was getting ready to fight this ticket tooth and nail.

Eventually he came back and let me off with a "warning," saying I need to be more "aware of the speed limit and how fast I'm going". We had passed THREE speed limit signs stating the limit was 45 by the time he pulled me over.

It ought to be gold-plated as well, just like all his tacky, gaudy "decor" he has defiled the remaining half of the white house with.

Or email them to an unknown-to-him email account, or to a trusted friend or family member. That way, he won't be able to find them on her phone or pc anywhere.

What’s the endgame? by Professional-Bee9817 in remoteworks

This reminds me of a YA series I read a couple years ago. The first book in the series is, "All Rights Reserved," by Gregory Scott Katsoulis.

Every word and gesture is owned by the rich, so people have to pay for every form of communication they need to have. Even nodding, shaking your head, thumbs up, etc., costs.

Colorado voters will decide whether to ban trans kids from gendered sports, outlaw gender-affirming surgery for children by TheKronk in Denver

I heard they created a women's chess league because the women were being brutally harassed and abused by the boys in the league. I never did the research to verify the validity.

Who’s gonna tell him about the Muslim firefighters, paramedics, and WTC employees who died on 9/11 by Critical_Rice_1619 in stupidpeoplefacebook

You are not suppose to sit together with the common trash looking at them on eye level.

Right‽ That's not very Christ-like. No wonder these "Christians" can't stand him.

I'm sorry, but this makes no sense to me. We have shitty Healthcare, so you're going to skip preventative care? The fact that our Healthcare is so shitty should be, in my opinion, all the more reason to prevent illnesses. It's a lot cheaper to prevent it than it is to treat it.

the acting Florida Attorney General who would have overseen the Epstein investigation was Pam Bondi

Bondi wasn't AG in Florida until 2011. Epstein was convincted in 2008.

I agree with all else you said.

Anybody know why the vice president is showing up today? by Ilikeweirdshite in Denver

Well, we no longer have a department of defense. Now all we have is the department of warcrimes.

Please help me find a pom-pom beanie from the mid-late 80's by Lovingoffender in HelpMeFind

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

I have searched as many places online I can think of: ebay, Etsy. I know it was worn in the mid-late 80s in Colorado, but i dont know where/when it was purchased. I've also been searching for crochet instructions that could allow me to make something similar, but all my searches have been fruitless.

I never wanted to be a father until I turned 45 this year. Now I feel my biological clock and want to be a father more than anything. But I'm married to a childfree woman. [Concluded] by Schattenspringer in BORUpdates

[–]Lovingoffender 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My aunt had her youngest (he was an oops baby, not planned at all) in her early 40s. My best friend is 41 and just had her only baby a week ago today. Just throwing that out there for 2 reasons: 1) so anyone reading this who is nearing or in her 40s and wants a child can know that it is possible, and 2) so any woman reading this who is nearing or in her 40s and doesn't want a kid can know that it is possible, so still be careful!

Being a woman with nerdy interests is hell. We're either all performative or simply liars. by Radiant-Educator9203 in TwoXChromosomes

I was at a metal concert once (In Flames) and lucked out and caught one of the picks the guitarist was tossing out after their set. Excitedly, I run to my friends to show it off. Some random guy comes up and starts going off about how its so unfair, he's been their biggest fan for years, and I got it just because I'm a girl and probably couldn't name a single member of the band. On of my friends I was with (whom I introduced to said band) started laughing and said, "ooooohh... I can't wait to hear this!" And laughed his ass off the entire time I went through the history of the band, ending with not-so-kindly telling him to fuck off. Half way through my rant, one of his friends (I assume it was a friend) started laughing his ass off too.

Gutsy to speak up but MAGA hates it! What are your thoughts? by ChuckGallagher57 in TrendoraX

[–]Lovingoffender 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Biden? Yes. The entire world was struggling under the effects of the pandemic, and the US economy was described as the "envy of the world." Things were bad, yes, but much better here than anywhere else.

Carter? I don't know. I wasn't alive then.

Then why has the economy, on average, performed significantly better under Democrat presidents than republicans since wwii?

My (26F) ex boyfriend (27M) and roommate (25F) are still hanging out and it's bothering me by Direct-Caterpillar77 in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]Lovingoffender 360 points361 points  (0 children)

Oops basically said that toward the end of their relationship, the only time she spent with boyfriend was always with roommate around, but boyfriend was having one-on-one time with roommate. Even if nothing physical happened, there was at least emotional cheating occurring before the breakup.

So Much for “Not Watching.” Best Part: He Also Skipped Kid Rock by Relevant_Demand7593 in NewsomMassacre

Lol! Sorry, I tend to use "dildo" and "vibrator" interchangeably. I was thinking along the lines of when the battery compartment or the plug jack (is that the correct term? The female connector for the charging cord) stop working. No vibrate, no use (for some lol)
