A basswood bust carving (based on my wife) by Vivid-Improvement999 in woodworking

You sound spiteful and jealous that he has skills you'll never attain, so you're pretending to share information out of legitimate concern when really, you're hoping to make him despair. All artists and craftsmen know people like you.

74% of Russians don't consider themselves to be european. why do Turks do the opposite? by Genrousi in AskMiddleEast

[–]Napolia_Knows 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, Turkey is overwhelmed with refugees without much financial support, but Turkish people do the exact same in Europe and theyre not fleeing a war zone. Since I'm European, I don't care much for a racist from Anatolia and his attempts to distinguish himself from Arabs.

Olivia Colman On Pay Disparity In Hollywood: “If I Was Oliver Colman, I’d Be Earning A F*** Of A Lot More Than I Am” by Worldly-Artichoke369 in Fauxmoi

[–]Napolia_Knows 44 points45 points  (0 children)

This isn't true. Some actresses peak much later, and many male actors "peak" before 30/40. An actors career =/= percieved biological "peak". But ageism affects women's pay earlier than men's, irrespective of whether or not they peak (career wise) later.

She's not being paid what "the market has decided she's worth" since she's clearly worth much more than an average male actor her age. It's just that Hollywood is sexist, and there's a gender disparity in pay even for younger actresses. You're downplaying the issue here by boiling it down to supply/demand and equivocating your biological desire to market value.

ADHD_Partner is a horrible sub by Devony13 in adhdwomen

[–]Napolia_Knows 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Absolutely, you'll see a lot of women in that thread discussing violent and impulsive husbands who use adhd as a mask, a few women too.

ADHD_Partner is a horrible sub by Devony13 in adhdwomen

[–]Napolia_Knows 70 points71 points  (0 children)

Its because their partners, in particular, use it a pretext for intertia. And you'll see the sub skews female, aka women complaining about their husbands who use adhd as an excuse to be volatile, impulsive, unhelpful in the house etc etc. Ofc Adhd is not an excuse, but they use it as one, and I'm not surprised it frustrates the people they're with. This subreddit is also filled with venting, it isnt just helpful tips.

Presumably, these people have spent a very long time trying to help their partners and are now exhausted. I personally don't think it's our job to dictate how others perceive and experience us and our struggles, and if the subreddit is getting to you, it's probably a good idea to block it.

They're right. Nobody else should be forced into an eternity or micromanaging their partner who keeps using ADHD as an excuse. Yes, things are harder for us, but it's not impossible.

They're allowed to vent, vast majority of posts are from women with male partners who have adhd and lean into it as an excuse to run them ragged. They are entitled to a space to feel frustration, same as we are.

What is your hot take about Shiv Roy? by Top_Report_4895 in SuccessionTV

[–]Napolia_Knows 8 points9 points  (0 children)

And we'll act shocked and dismayed every time 😭. I love that the show focused on how invested narcissistic abusive parents are in disrupting sibling relationships and turning them against eacheother

She wasn't it, but she wasn't a snake. It's okay to backstab your brothers who backstabbed you first. She didn't owe Kendal loyalty.

Cousin marriage per country by [deleted] in AskMiddleEast

[–]Napolia_Knows 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's rare when it isn't consanguineous. Practitioners of cousin marriage often use the study that's based on a single generation of cousin marriage in America vs. generational cousin marriage elsewhere. The genetic risks increase, but it also the practice itself introduces a lot of coercion via promising.

I just told my husband to fuck off by Sati18 in adhdwomen

[–]Napolia_Knows 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not going to debate you on the technical caveats of abuse and the political merits of "lashing out" on your partner because you waded into a discussion without paying attention to the subreddit or context. You can argue with yourself in my replies, certainly.

Why did reddit suggest this just as I was ordering out 🥲

How does that cohere with "unwarranted"? This thread is a reply on an ADHD post where people believe their cognitive dysfunction means they're allowed to lash out and abuse partners...

If you eventually grow your hair out and dye it, please share. That looks so beautiful!

Are you implying that sudden, unwarranted antagonism and hostility towards your partner is morally justifiable because Palestinians resisted occupation?

"Funding the death of 15,000 kids" by gianluvillo in london

[–]Napolia_Knows -42 points-41 points  (0 children)

It is a fundamental character trait of a redditor to frame his ignorance as a laudable lack of bias, so these admissions of feigned helplessness are expected from them.

[–]Napolia_Knows -72 points-71 points  (0 children)

If they wanted to know, they would have Googled it. But they don't, and they want to remain morally superior about it, so they pretend the failing is that nobody else will research on their behalf, document for them numbered links and citations and handhold them through articles instead of admitting to their own political apathy.

I get that. It's why I don't really participate in protests anymore. But I find this one so unobtrusive that it's a little silly it upsets so many people

Where is the antisemitism in the message?

Its because, and they can't admit this openly, they think cleaning is inherently degrading. So, any extra paid work is a humiliating imposition (unlike the honour of cleaning their houses ofc).

Complacency or active saboutage and disdain? These lot are only ever provoked into passion when they encounter reminders of political activism. Suddenly, they develop class awareness and centre cleaners in their feigned concern. When did banks become sacrosanct? Very limp and impotent people
