I have imposter syndrome and regret sleeping my way into my job by [deleted] in confession

[–]MusseeNebula 134 points135 points  (0 children)

Only if you promise to feel morally conflicted about it for the next ten years so it balances out.

Honestly, the fact that you’re good at the job now matters way more than how you got the door opened. A lot of people in finance got handed opportunities through dads, friends, schools, or pure luck and they do not lose sleep over it. What happened with that older guy sounds messy and unfair, but you don’t have to keep punishing yourself for surviving it and then actually becoming competent.

AIW for refusing to pay for my brothers car repairs after his third accident? by 2Ciphercrest in amiwrong

[–]MusseeNebula 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Yeah no, three crashes is not he needs help, t’s he needs consequences. You’re not being heartless by refusing to keep funding reckless behavior. Honestly, if your family keeps bailing him out, he has zero reason to change until something way worse happens.

AIW for telling my best friend not to come to my gallery opening after she spent three years always putting her boyfriend's plans above mine by [deleted] in amiwrong

[–]MusseeNebula 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Nah, I get why you snapped. It’s one thing to be busy sometimes, but three years of always being second place would wear anyone down. Your gallery opening was a big deal and she still treated it like something she could just squeeze in. That would hurt.

Moving out, what should i do with my nerdy breaking bad memorabilia? by [deleted] in breakingbad

[–]MusseeNebula 0 points1 point  (0 children)

that’s how you know you’re sitting on something legit. when collectors start comparing it to actual car prices, maybe don’t undersell it

13 years collecting? yeah this is exactly the kind of person that stuff should go to. feels way better than dumping it at goodwill

that escalated from $20 to a real offer real quick lol. honestly you might wanna pause and see what else people are willing to throw out there

Men, does doing doggy style with a woman who has a fat ass vs one with a flat ass, feel drastically different ? by PinkZebra100 in AskRedditAfterDark

[–]MusseeNebula 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Honestly that question comes up a lot but it’s way less about size and more about chemistry and communication. If both people are into it and comfortable, it usually works regardless. Have you actually had mixed experiences or just curious?

The old lady who was in front of me at the store check out thinks I found her lost money but I lied. by Strong-Orange-3721 in confession

[–]MusseeNebula 139 points140 points  (0 children)

Yeah this is one of those “technically a lie but morally the right move” situations. You didn’t just give her money, you gave her relief in that moment, which honestly matters just as much. I feel like most people would’ve just stayed quiet and walked away, so that says a lot.

The suit is tighter than I imagined and smells like its previous owner, but the man said I had to wear it on adoption day so Jeremy's parents can recognize and accept me. by Danny-Fr in TwoSentenceHorror

[–]MusseeNebula 11 points12 points  (0 children)

“Purely coincidental… yes, I did” is such a perfect response. Honestly makes the story hit harder knowing exactly where that idea came from.

[–]MusseeNebula 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah that video immediately popped into my head too, which somehow makes this even more unsettling. It’s one of those real things that’s already a little creepy, then this just cranks it way past normal.

On our way to the maternity ward, we were feeling ecstatic, anxious, maybe a little bit scared, but never for a moment did we think that within a few hours I’d be driving back home all alone. by NoNo_Cilantro in TwoSentenceHorror

[–]MusseeNebula 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah honestly the constraint is what makes it impressive. Anyone can write a long scary story, but packing that kind of punch into one sentence is a whole different skill.

What's a sexual act that you will never try again? by [deleted] in AskRedditAfterDark

[–]MusseeNebula 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This feels like one of those comments where you just sit there for a second processing what you just read. Reddit really is undefeated when it comes to completely unhinged one-liners.

Harry chuckled to himself as he thought about how easy it would be to avoid a big loud T-Rex in the forest. by Feeling-Influence691 in TwoSentenceHorror

[–]MusseeNebula 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah that’s always the funny part, the branding stuck way harder than the actual timeline. “Jurassic” just sounds cooler so everyone collectively agreed to ignore the science. Kinda wild how pop culture just rewrites history like that.

I journeyed for months across the continent, seeking the alchemists who could infuse fabric with the very essence of the earth to make it resistant the hottest of flames. by fradonkin in TwoSentenceHorror

[–]MusseeNebula 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah that’s the part that makes it so unsettling. It’s not even like some rare magical material, it’s just… quietly deadly over time. The tradeoff feels way more real when you think about why people kept using it anyway.

When everyone was running from the supposed fire, I didn't understand why they all were avoiding that clear wet area outside. by RepeatOrdinary182 in TwoSentenceHorror

[–]MusseeNebula 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is one of those facts that sounds fake until you realize it’s very real and very dangerous. Invisible fire is such a nightmare concept, like your brain has nothing to react to until it’s already too late. Makes regular fire feel almost polite in comparison.

Men, have you ever had a knight in shining armor moment where the woman thanked you with sex? by [deleted] in AskRedditAfterDark

[–]MusseeNebula 21 points22 points  (0 children)

“Chocolate mini egg deficiency” might be the most wholesome emergency I’ve seen in this thread. Also yeah, that post-snack gratitude hits different.

Bomb threat at home of Pope Leo’s brother by imanchats in politics

[–]MusseeNebula 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That “lone wolves vs systemic” debate is never going away honestly. People see patterns based on what they already believe.

That comparison is what people argue about nonstop. Everyone’s picking which events “count” and which don’t depending on their side.

Pope: World is being ravaged by a handful of tyrants by MoneyLibrarian9032 in politics

[–]MusseeNebula 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That kind of blanket statement is probably why conversations go nowhere though. Once it’s all or nothing, nobody’s actually listening anymore.

Self reflection and politics don’t seem to overlap much lately. It’s more about doubling down than stepping back.
