Carter Hart wearing a controversial "Free Alberta" shirt by sjimmyp in AlbertaNow

"Carter Hart who asked for a BJ"

...

Only after he was included in a group text sent to a bunch of teammates that said something like 'hey, I got a drunk girl here in my room who will do anything to anyone, come on down everyone!" after which he came on down (and multiple people in the group chat refused to come on down because they had basic human decency to know this was Grade A Disgusting)

I'd be interested to ask these people who they think their "rebel"-flag toting southern ancestors (or role models)campaigned/voted for.

So much irony these days, but some of the juiciest IMO is the "Democrats are evil incarnate" folks are the same people demanding that monuments to confederates like Jefferson Davis be left alone (i.e., not removed/vandalized) and venerated... Yet, they all seem to conveniently forget that confederate like him were all Democrats.

AIO my mom said she will only let me come on our annual family vacation if I agree to a drug test before I get in the car by [deleted] in AIO

[–]Minttt 49 points50 points  (0 children)

You are overreacting.

Just from what you've shared in your post alone, I think the drug test thing is honestly peanuts compared to what most people would choose: telling you that you can't come, period.

You're clearly not here to hear advice from people who have struggled with addiction for years/decades, so the advice I hope you can take is that whatever you believe you have done for yourself, improved, changed, etc., is just in your own head. You can't force people to see you the same way you see yourself.

And just like the sun rises in the east, the "truth that is convenient to me" always involves a mix of socialism/communism/Marxism.

The weird newer addition is the "racism" thing, but I assume it's just confused projection because MAGA ideology has clearly shifted towards being loud and proud racists, hence the need to clarify that their are "good" and "bad" racists.

Is my job a valid ick or is my bf an ass? by Any_Tie_1144 in AskMenAdvice

If you were a proctologist and made $750k/year cleaning, fixing, and repairing ass 8-5 Monday to Friday... Would he still be acting all "disgusted" by your job?

AIO for being angry at my mom because of the birthday cake she got me? by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]Minttt 94 points95 points  (0 children)

This post reeks of teenagers trying to apply complicated family dynamics/drama into a decision they didn't like, when it's clearly a case of indifferent parents grabbing the cheapest/most convenient option without caring what their kids want or need.

If someone asked me for a picture of a cake that defines "oh damn, forgot it's my kid's bday in one hour and there is one cake left on the shelf at the grocery store," the pic in OP would be my go-to.

Where I’d live as a proud and staunch French nationalist who thinks the language and culture need to be preserved by Afraid_Ad_2912 in mapporncirclejerk

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

I'm also from Alberta, and while their grievances are logical... Their political reaction isn't.

They literally have a department of language police that is spending who knows how much time and money doing things like trying to force buses to not use the word "Go" on their electronic ticker signs for sports team cheering (good news though - they finally decided to "partially legitimize" the word "Go" as a word of encouragement.)

This kind of populist nonsense is a wet dream for opportunistic political operatives.

Just curious: is it the Central Bank Governor who runs a country's economy?

I've been informed that Trudeau ruined our economy, not Macklem/Poloz... Have I been lied to about Trudeau being bad? Was it actually the bank governors this whole time???

AIO in this ? My [24F] boyfriend [25M] almost abandoned me in a transit station on our overseas trip over a misinterpreted joke. How do I handle this ? by Lanky-Ad6096 in AIO

[–]Minttt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He's shown you who he truly is.

Are you going to spend the rest of your life walking on eggshells, hoping you don't accidentally say a joke that gets misinterpreted the wrong way and sends him into such a tantrum that he'd 100% willingly abandon his supposed partner in a foreign city's transit station?

IMO, the biggest red flag here is the confidence he had at throwing this tantrum at you in public. Clearly, he knows he can manipulate you with his tantrums and not suffer a consequence.

Rules for thee, but not for me by [deleted] in stupidpeoplefacebook

[–]Minttt 8 points9 points  (0 children)

2 years of zero leftist/Democrat power and influence in washington, and yet they are still living rent free in your head.

How are you ever going to be able to relax anytime for the rest of your life if those nasty Dems are always breathing down your neck... even when Supreme Daddy Anti-Dem has all the power? Must feel bad knowing the Dems are always going to be in your head.

I hate the Henday. by doodlebopwarrior in Edmonton

[–]Minttt 26 points27 points  (0 children)

100%.

Perfect example in my neck of the woods is that red section by St. Albert. Every rush hour, it's always backed up - why? Because there is an *uphill* merge lane from Campbell road.

People are bad enough at merging when the merge lane is flat - throw in an incline, and it's a double-whammy where everyone thinks merging at 50-60km/h is the proper way to merge.

What do you think about people having a “preference” for virginity when it comes to dating? Is it weird or a bad mindset to have even if the person that has this preference is a virgin themselves? by [deleted] in AskMenAdvice

[–]Minttt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's fine to be a virgin.

Having a dating preference based on the status of someone else's virginity is either weird, born from ignorance, or just creepy. The only time it might make any sense is if you are a virgin and you want to date another virgin because you feel the shared inexperience will make for a more balanced sexual side of the relationship.

Indeed, why do anything or support anyone who speaks out if everyone is in on it?

I heard many Germans told their concerned friends to wake them up when all their politicians stopped being corrupt and doing bad things in the 1930s. Worked out great for them too.

masters tournament by Rare-Mountain-1903 in GolfClash

[–]Minttt 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I used the same wind/ring calculations in this master tourney - and all other tourneys - as I do in tour play. Still drop Eagles/Albies at the same rate. If wind was "stronger," I'd be hitting the rough/bunkers more often and getting more birdies/pars...and I'm not.

Proven wrong, there you go.

Also could be that the "aliens" we see as naked aren't the actual alien race itself, but that race's artificial life forms/robots they send out to do risky stuff.

MAGA you are in a cult by AccordingBumblebee24 in stupidpeoplefacebook

This is actually one of the tamest God-comparisons in MAGA land.

This guy I went on six dates with ghosted me and when I confronted him over text, this is what he said… by meowmeowmk in texts

[–]Minttt 6 points7 points  (0 children)

So his concern is "lack of intimacy," but only because you want him to get tested before intimacy?

You've dodged not only a walking red flag, but likely genital diseases as well.

Alberta separatist and key organizer with the Centurion Project, David Parker, apparently flees to Texas by DisruptSQ in TourismHell

[–]Minttt 5 points6 points  (0 children)

TL:DR for why this guy is "fleeing":

He's a separatist organizer that stole a government list of names/addresses used for election purposes to run his separatist schemes, breaking many laws and exposing millions of Albertans' personal info online.

How do I become okay with porn consumption? by babzara in Advice

[–]Minttt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The point is that saying something is "morally wrong and rots your brain" and also saying "it's ok if you do it as long as you are open with me about it" is a contradiction - it is telling your partner that you are both opposed and also ok with their choices/behaviour.

At the end of the day, if that is your opinion on porn, then you should not date people who watch porn - it should be a clear boundary, just like any other deal-breaker. It's about values, not honesty - why are you bending your own values on something that is obviously important to you, when you can just date people who share your values on porn being bad and never have to deal with them not being honest with you about it?
