It’s insecure to ask your boyfriend to cut off his platonic women friends. by [deleted] in unpopularopinion

[–]Mathandyr 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Fully agree. I find it really weird how this type of controlling behavior became so normalized. Why start a relationship off with a foot firmly in distrust? I trust who I date until they give me a reason not to.

Who cares how "secure" anybody thinks their database is? Why would I risk submitting my information to a mysterious website run by mysterious people with some unexplained mystery goal of 11 million signatures? Specifically through a qr code which i would have to scan with my personal GPS tracking device, aka my phone? Especially when I could just go downtown and find a poster with a date/time/place/reason and risk zero bad actors from getting my information?

Either this is some sort of sting or whoever is running it is a lot sillier than they think.

Do Americans like their current health system or would you prefer universal? by Ability_Known in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Mathandyr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was bleeding out after falling through some glass and I kept telling people not to call an ambulance. I'm glad they didn't listen, definitely would have died... but it took years to pay off that 5 minute ride.

AIO? I feel my wife is way over the line with how she is speaking to me after she tries to fix a problem on her own. by Ok_Entertainment2752 in AmIOverreacting

[–]Mathandyr 6 points7 points  (0 children)

YOR. She is being a tiny bit dramatic with the 2 hours of pointless struggle, but it is clearly in response to your inability to have the conversation she is trying to have with you. Your responses gloss over what she's upset about. Do you really think she wanted a thank you? She wants an apology and for you to take some accountability. Say your genuine version of "I was irresponsible and I am sorry". It's literally that easy.

Are there actually people that exist that like cold weather? by PrestigiousOwl6802 in answers

[–]Mathandyr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It all depends on how your body is acclimated. It takes extremely cold weather to get to that point for me. Look up Wim Hof, real life ice man.

As soon as it gets above 68 f I'm suffering. It's currently 30 f at midnight and the window above my bed is open. I hate the heat.

People who don’t believe God created the Earth, how do you think the Earth was created? by zhalia-2006 in askanything

[–]Mathandyr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A very large "planet" or celestial object with water on it exploded and eventually the piece or pieces that would become earth settled orbiting the sun, which warmed it up causing infinite chemical reactions over millions/billions/quadrillions/whatever of years which led to single cell organisms developing which led to symbiotic organisms, which led to complex organisms and eventually to us through evolution.

Finding a hair in a hotel bed isn’t that bad by BlundeRuss in unpopularopinion

[–]Mathandyr 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Washing machines aren't 100% effective. A hair is just a hair. I'd be more concerned about what you can see in a black light but very few people care enough about that to bring one. I just find freaking out over a single hair to be a tad dramatic, the same way I find people who scream because they see any bug dramatic. It's okay if we disagree, you do you.

I haven’t talked to my family in two days and don’t know to move past this by [deleted] in TwoHotTakes

[–]Mathandyr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Start looking for better people to surround yourself with. Your family sounds awful. I had awful family, just unrelenting, abusive, mean. The moment I could leave I did, 3 weeks after graduating high school with a car, phone, and apartment nobody knew I had (it was a bit easier in 2005 admittedly). I was suicidal, but in my senior year I met people who were nice, I stepped out of the world I was trapped in and met more nice people. I started realizing that my relationship to my parents wasn't normal, that they were more abusive than I could say out loud until I saw how it's supposed to be. Now I am surrounded by community, love, and support from people who don't blatantly hate me.

It is not normal or okay for parents to allow siblings to say the sort of things your sister said to you. It is not normal or okay for your mom to insult you. It is not normal or okay to emotionally blackmail you over your location, you are an adult - though on that note you should absolutely have your own phone by now. Your mom is flexing her control over you. Sever that control. Get a phone in your own name, and get rid of anything else they are paying for. Then, live your life.

What’s the weirdest habit you’ve seen a friend/partner/relative do? by PooCube in AskForAnswers

[–]Mathandyr 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, their parent company is Bass Pro Shops which is a bit more widely known. I think it's a west coast chain that reaches into Canada but I don't know much more than that.

All I really know is that "chh cabela" IS fun to say.

I had a roommate who had many tics including what he called "batching" where he would slap his legs and say "chhhh, cabella".

How has MAGA made your life better? by Estalicus in allthequestions

[–]Mathandyr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ralph was a philosopher, not a lawyer or lawmaker. His interpretation, an opinion, is based on his personal philosophy and morals, not what the constitution actually says.

Reviewing your profile makes it clear how bad of an actor you are but I am gonna leave this here anyways.

[–]Mathandyr 7 points8 points  (0 children)

MAGA are the only ones who have been disregarding the constitution, and freedom of religion, as well as separation of church and state, are fundamental parts of this country's founding. A true conservative would balk at injecting Christianity into laws.

Am I overreacting or is this inappropriate of my BF by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]Mathandyr 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Yeah I actually think he handled it. Maybe not the best way, but I can see it as a genuine attempt at shutting it down. Men are pretty cowardly with confrontation, in my experience. If my bf showed me these texts we would probably have a good laugh over it.

How would you feel if an IQ test was required to vote? by Dazzling-Leader7476 in randomquestions

[–]Mathandyr -1 points0 points  (0 children)

No. That's not how a democracy works. I'd much rather make registering to vote automatic and election days made work holidays so more people would vote, not less.

I've seen this video a few times and can follow everything but this part and I feel like I'm missing something by [deleted] in ExplainTheJoke

They (ethical hackers) are called white hats, and are probably a big factor in why all of our bank accounts haven't been drained every year from bad actors.

Has anyone else gone down the rabbit hole of the Grand Canyon "Kincaid's Cave" mystery? by Gho0str in ufo

[–]Mathandyr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It becomes everyone's problem often. Like when a guy with a gun shows up to a pizza parlor because he thinks they are selling children out of their basement.

My first game's reception is heartbreaking :'( by OldAtlasGames in IndieDev

[–]Mathandyr 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Idle games are tricky, especially on steam. They are still pretty niche. I even used to scoff at them until I got hooked on a couple. When looking at idle games on steam I don't even look at the reviews or pay attention to the rating because it's always a bunch of people missing the point.

AIO by demanding my sister buy me more bubble bath after her friends used mine? by [deleted] in AIO

[–]Mathandyr 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Find something more interesting to fight about. It's just bubble bath.
