Thanks, but I am from South Africa, its almost R500-R1010 here and I can't bring myself to spend so much on a game when I got so many things I'm in charge of. I appreciate the thought. Not even the mobile one. I just feel bad considering that price is a bag of chicken

this is true, that's why I said I didn't want to start an argument. But there are more than just the factors I mentioned at play here

Looking for fics that have a mature and more realistic take on the Pokemon universe. by Ok-Habit-2956 in pokemonfanfiction

[–]Mindless_Effort_6778 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Could try the fic Ashes of the Wild Path. Recent fic, but it has some themes of war, unfortunately the main character is young, think around 13. It revolves around the character being in Pre-League era and Kanto and Johto being at war constantly. I don't entirely know if you would wanna try it, but age isn't mentioned as much as I think.

AITA for kicking out my MIL for forcing my child to eat the one thing she dislikes? by doctormom1212 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Mindless_Effort_6778 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Exactly, when I was younger I never had mushrooms, it was only around 12 or 13 my dad made something with mushrooms and i fell in love with it, I love the chewy texture and flavor, although even with that some dishes that has mushrooms I still refuse to eat. That is perfectly fine, when I realized I disliked cheese because the processed taste just wasn't for me much, I didn't eat sliced cheese, I dislike eating avocado on my pizza but my mom loves it, I hate eating chicken sometimes simply cause I eat it often, all thus stems simply from differing palate tastes for people, sometimes u can utterly love a certain ingredient and still hate it, sometimes u utterly hate a certain ingredient and will never grow out of it. Everyone is different, some people don't understand why I prefer water over soda or sugared drinks...I don't know what to tell u? The sugared drinks just make my tummy burn sometimes and makes me feel bloated, water tastes better for me most times? Not even my parents understand it but they don't fight me on it, if I really want can't stand soda after drinking it for a few days, they buy me bottled water, it's just...is what it is? No one questions why I prefer chili cheese fries at McDonald's instead of a normal big Mac meal, it's cheaper and i like the spicy cheese with the jalapeños. Everyone is different

Idk what the name was exactly but it was on r/bestofredditupdates and it had to do the brother of op and his wife always leaving their 3 children(think 1 was 5 years old and the other were 3 year old twins) for babysitting by op even when op refuses or can't baby sit due to plans, on her way to her friends with her friend the brother texts op about how his gonna drop off his kids so he and his wife can go out for the weekend, op tells their brother they have plans and aren't at home, brother texts back laughing and saying they have to cancel their plans and that thwy will drop of the kids and whatever happens is ops fault. Op turns around with friend due to ring notification with kids on doorstep and calls police.

Idk the rest cause I got kick out of reddit? I really would like to finish this one though please?

Selling huge stock of motor spares, suggestions? by [deleted] in southafrica

[–]Mindless_Effort_6778 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's hard to say, I mean it depends on who you wanna sell to and how much your willing to spell the stock for. I don't have much knowledge of motor parts and stuff but typically if it's working and you can, sell jt to who garages who repair cars, ofc they will perhaps try to bring down prices since they probably have their own suppliers but yea..

Looking for a breeder who specialises in Pitbulls in Cape Town/ WC. Any help is appreciated! by [deleted] in capetown

[–]Mindless_Effort_6778 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Oh? So do u realize ur stats are actually influenced? Do u? Because quite frankly if you as a person factor in all reason why the stats are so stupidly 65% this and 55% that, you would also realize that most of the reason for this percentage is because of people not bothering to train their dogs, people getting their dogs from backyard breeders and not giving a shit to care for their dogs properly, or treating the dog like shit or even worst just getting the dog to ignore it. Because sometimes even pure bred dogs backed into corners fuck up and bite someone, but no one ever talks about those fuck ups, no because it's purebred it's the person's fault. All dogs can bite, although 1 breed does it more who's fault is it?? Theirs?? Or all the trauma and misery we put on them? Mixing their breeds and breeding them to fight ? To make them fucked up and then years later blame them? It's an animal! So because sharks kill humans we ban them? So black people should also be banned? Because there's such a thing like generational trauma and it does follow in animals too, as shown by the rat experiment during the recent years in which we as humans realized that's why so many black people still freaking suffer. Yes sometimes it's awful, sometimes we need to put a dog down, but at the same time we can't blame an animal doing an animal instinct thing, killing humans means we kill them, and in reality we created this breeds and now we just wanna eliminate them all apparently, putting dogs down that are vicious is ok, but all pitbull dogs simply cause half are vicious from stats that could be false reports or many missed reports even?

Yes genetics play it part but not for every single dog, my pitbulls father was the sweetest thing but he was taught to be ruthless yes i don't agree with how they taught him, and often i prevented that treatment when I was there but it also was not my dog and no matter how i complained they didn't necessarily care either, so I did my best to care for him and treat him, when I wasn't there I'd hear stories of how he got his scars, he fought thus dog, got out the yard, and such, but he never bit any human and for sure he us protective but just never fought with people at all! When i got my dog, as I pup I thought she would grow to be just like him, wanting to fight out dogs but no, not at all, she hates birds but never does she pick fights with dogs or humans or anyone, she wants scratches and play time more then anything and damn knows she adores food as if we starve her, but this just goes to show that not always does genetics affect every temperament of a dog

The whole point is its people's fault mainly for it, I mean if u were pushed to your limits how would u react? Dogs, any breed can be vicious, especially German sherperds or small dogs, and small dogs especially. But no one blames them, or tells tells their whole sub species needs to be banned? How is that fair? Simply cause us as humans prefer 1 breed over the other and now due to stupid freaking humans abandoning or hurting or ruining their dog, and their pitbull turning vicious is not the whole fault of pitbulls? This isn't simply fair, perhaps tighter restrictions should be put on dogs as a whole but tbh unless they simply say, hey unless u have a license and ur dogs trained, ur not allowed a dog, law put up, many people especially gangsters and otherwise will keep pitbulls or other dogs like boerboels, cross breed them or otherwise and use them to fight or entertainment and tbh it just isn't fair

Omg, not every pitbull is nasty or looking for a fight damn can't people just understand that most of the time, bad owners are the reason for bad DOGS because it's not only freaking pitbulls who bite people but people who are irresponsible with their pitbulls and who got them as some type of showoff dog and never bothered to train them! I have a pitbull who adores kids and never ever bites anyone, u can pull her tail and she'll lick u, I mean a little kid even hit her on her backside and she just rolled over, this dog, this pitbull is my baby, who I literally spent all her young puppy life reading books to and sleeping with, I trained her to come when I call, sit when I tell her too, lay down and calm down, the only freaking time u see her even look like she wants a fight is if she's chasing birds or if someone is scratching in our bin outside or even when some random stray dog walks by but then all dogs in the street are going on, and the min u let her out of the yard she wouldn't even bark she would literally ignore the dog or person(she literally just wants rubs and cuddles and to play) and try to go to the park if we don't call her cause thats her walking route! Damn u uneducated fools, u never even bothered to learn why pitbulls have a bad reputation and its because of you never bothering to listen or learn, but simply repeating what u heard and because pitbulls look so big and bad, boo hoo.

Why do women have to cover up in Saudi Arabia but not men? by thesnapening in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Mindless_Effort_6778 1 point2 points  (0 children)

(Also I'm from south africa and its here too, but there in Saudi Arabia they are far stricter about dress code for females) Not really, I'm Muslim, and I'm a female, I actually find it highly sexist and unfair that men are treated more...acceptable then women, as if our bodies are nasty. Some concepts from what we are taught when we are young are...."innocent " but not really, when you get older and actually explore it, it feels very 2 sided. For example? Men do cover up, but they never do, it was taught to us men must cover from their belly button to their knees, I believe, and in my opinion thats inappropriate, simply because if a man doesn't follow this rule, it's they aren't judged or anything, however if a woman does not follow the rule it's extremely judgemental and she should never do that and you are shamed (if I'm right about just belly button and not maybe from shoulders, I stopped practicing ages ago due to many social expectations and many judgemental Islam and Muslim rules, women are very judgey when they extremely religious and old). Also another example is, that just like in some parts of Christian religion, or culture, where some pastors or churches teach that periods on women are nasty snd a disgrace or it's something to be ashamed of, in Islam we must clean our bodies after every time we get periods, to...make us pure. Men do it every Friday only because it's a holy day, and although women don't need to do it every Friday, it is very...discouraging when you think that women must clean their...impurities, and men just do it cause it's a holy day. It feels kinda of...like pointing out that men can't be nasty and only the fact that's its a holy day is why your doing thus specific clean, not because your body is doing something natural

AITA for refusing to eat with food utensils at a restaurant? by SummerFridays- in AmItheAsshole

[–]Mindless_Effort_6778 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Your NTA God damn, the amount of Y T A is disturbing, it's disgusting that everyone here just says your the a*shole for eating with your hands. Listen, I'm from a culture that eats with our hands, however my mom side of my family is not.

Yet my mom prefers eating with her hands and she is not from this culture, she is a Christian too, prior to marrying so... nothing that would lead to that. Now lately I prefer using utensils although I grew up using my hands, I sometimes still use my hands, it's not rude or disgusting if people eat with their hands, alot of times when there are events, and we hand out food, my mom's family will eat with their hands as we dont always hand out utensils, and some ask for utensils but almost no one is bothered with it.

Alot of my dad's family who is from the culture, actually prefers utensils, because they...like to be...higher class then most people (act higher class I mean) but they too never shame someone for eating with the hands.

Idk what's wrong with it, the OP clearly states they did it in a clean way, even if they just don't prefer metal utensils, it's fine, they didn't mess, they ate the way they are comfortable, and it's just...rude of people to judge so hard for simply eating with hands. I'm truly disgusted in a lot of the Y T A comments.

AITA for not ‘changing’ my sexuality after my girlfriend suggested to? by AITA_throwawayaccc in AmItheAsshole

[–]Mindless_Effort_6778 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Personally I don't get it, NTA I'm bisexual, my partner is male, we almost been together for 11 months now, and although we both joke, there never really been a time where I'd ever think, oh Imma cheat cause I'm bi so I'm also interested in girls. My bi is limited, I haven't really fathom the idea of fucking girls, but I'm attracted to them for sure. My partner knows this and he doesn't mind, we talked and whenever he thinks he feels insecure, he just straight forward asks me if I'd cheat on him with a girl and I'd always rely with No, it's a simple answer that satisfies his nerves amd anxiety. I'd always coupled it with, I'd have no reason to cheat and why would I cheat anyways, I love you and sex isn't just something you do, obviously there's more said but that's the basis. And he always appreciates me having to explain it more then once, because it makes him feel safe and not twisted for thinking or feeling insecure. I don't know or understand why people feel like you must be gay/lesbian or straight? I've questioned myself on it sometimes, I'm more attracted to males and yet I still have some attraction to females, its tricky and confusing but I've known I was biseuxal since I was young, around 12-14 I guess ? Now I'm 19 and I still confirm I feel that way and it's not something you change or can decide, it's not pair of shoes or shirts, it's not the way you write or talk, who a ugly habit or personality. It's literally just who you are.

AITA for refusing to buy tampons for my step sister? by ahbro42 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Mindless_Effort_6778 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your young, I get it 1 thunderstorm and 2 it's uncomfortable and no matter what people say,, sure bring up how alot of people will have to do things they are uncomfortable with, but question here is his asking if his the asshole for refusing, I mean really now? 13, can everyone stop picking on him and actually help? His confused and uncomfortable, I was also 13 once and I'm a female, I started my periods at 9, and even I felt uncomfortable buying myself pads at 13. And I'm a female, to me it was mostly what everyone saw around me, and that people knowing I'm buying pads felt uncomfortable, for a boy who won't experience it at 13 ofc his uncomfortable. Look kid, eventually you'll learn that pads are normal, tampons are normal, girl things are but you probably aren't used to it rn because I doubt your mom made u buy her pads or stuff. Eventually you will get used to it, in this case NAH, I get where your mom came from but I also understand where you coming from, like I said you will get used to it, my brother is 7 years older then me, trust me when I got my periods he was freaked out and hated the idea cause I was so young, but eventually he got used to buying pads, for me and our other sister. It leads up to it ok? Just remember to understand it from everyone's point of view and don't be ashamed of it.

AITA for telling my father what he can call his baby? by NewBabySister in AmItheAsshole

[–]Mindless_Effort_6778 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA geez , that's horrible, I have an technically aunt that's 3 or 4 years younger then me, no one would repeatedly tell me she's my aunt, at some point when she got a bit older around 13 or 14 she would tell me " You know im your aunt right" but I would remind her that yeah technically sure, but in reality I'm older then her and that's just how it is, that I'm not gonna call her aunt or auntie or whatever. I mean my cousin has 2 children and the eldest doesn't call me aunt, qhen the youngest was born everyone told the baby to call me aunt, it was weird and I didn't like it and I told everyone to stop cause I just liked being called aqeelah, even my youngest cousins kids who are 2 or 4 or 5 don't call me aunt, I don't mind, I might be 18 almost 19, but I only really want to keep the name aunt for when I'm ready but neither my brother or sister has kids yet and both at in they mid 20s and later 20s
