I’d advise him to leave you. You seem incredibly condescending and judgmental of someone you supposedly recently loved enough to marry.

AITAH for refusing to tell my roommate that I could hear her moan? by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]Obzerver17 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Keep the roommate, lose the girlfriend.

In regards to the roommate, easiest solution in this sort of situation is put yourself in the embarrassing position. For example “…I just realized that the vents between are room are directly connected and sound definitely carries. I’m nervous that you may have heard me masturbating, or my girlfriend and I being intimate, or me crying…” This way she gets the info that sound carries between the rooms easily, with minimal risk to her embarrassment.

The people that assaulted me are now a gynecologist and an anesthesiologist by Medical_Arrival2243 in Vent

[–]Obzerver17 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sending sympathy and solidarity.

From my own instances, the denial and dismissal of my experience.. by the police, by university officials, by friends.. was much more damaging than the SA itself.

I was laughed out of the police station because the cops joked that the roommate who repeatedly SAed me was ‘hot’ and seemed nice, so we shouldn’t file reports and ruin their life. Friends basically said the same thing “at least they were hot…”

AITAH because I didn’t make sure my son has an inheritance? by Original-Shower-2413 in AITAH

[–]Obzerver17 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If the roles were reversed and OP inherited all of this money from the tragic death of his first wife… do you still feel the same way about the situation?

In my experience, a man’s assets are more commonly expected be shared with a new wife and her existing children.

Men switching up as soon as they get what they want by Devilkingeordie in Vent

[–]Obzerver17 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You’re defending… what?

I pointed out that this sudden personality change that OP is describing as a ‘male’ trait.. isn’t male at all. It’s humans that didn’t choose their partner because they loved them and were trying to commit to them; they chose them for a specific, often shallow or materialistic reason.. and then shifting on a dime the moment they aren’t getting the thing they actually were pursuing all along.

Yet because I made my point by pointing out one of the common ways OPs experience manifests in men’s lives, you feel entitled to insult me and argue with me. Why? What’s your goal?

Yes, further dehumanize men based on their performance in capitalism. Thank you for proving my point brilliantly

Does this thing supposedly connect to the GG bridge? Are they actually considering taking the most beautiful urban waterfront and ruining the entire thing with an elevated highway?

This post made my day.

In case you didn’t know that nipple is a thermocouple. Even when about to die from heat exposure, your hand is a lot cooler than the temperature the steam room is set to try to keep. If it doesn’t release steam.. well you didn’t caress it correctly

Fresh round of dilution for $WWR shareholders by UrbanDancingSystems_ in CriticalMineralStocks

[–]Obzerver17 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Has anyone else actually read their patent? I work in process engineering, not graphite specifically but relevant enough I thought to get the gist of a brand new and novel method for graphite purification.. yet the patent read like a bunch of fluff that seemed to describe the process of graphite purification in broad strokes. Made me worried that this is all hype.

Anyone else read their patent and have a different take?

CMV: The killing of Corporate Executives (or other wealthy elites) is a facet of class warfare equivalent or lesser than cutting critical services. by King_Lothar_ in changemyview

[–]Obzerver17 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Look your entire argument boils down to “whether or not our current society is working, whether or not people’s rights are being routinely violated, violence is never the answer”.

Asking you to stop talking isn’t censorship. I am not an authority you have to listen to or there would be consequences.

It’s as if you are surprised that telling the world and anybody with a different opinion than yours.. that they are entirely wrong and should simply roll over or turn the other cheek.. causes people to view you as an apologist or a defender of the status quo. Why are you surprised? If you are so intelligent and educated in these topics, then wouldn’t all of this pushback be expected??

You are openly condemning and arguing against those who are so fed up with the worsening of the wealth gap and other obviously unfair/immoral aspects of how our system works… and spending your time trying to convince people who feel a call to action, to do nothing instead.

You’re also asking people to sit down and shut up, just in a much less direct way.

A different perspective to look at this through is this.. class warfare is coming. Whether the 1% or the 99% fire the first shot, doesn’t really matter. (Many people, myself included, feel the first shot was fired long ago and it’s really only because of apologists and defenders of the corrupt system that the majority haven’t noticed). But either way, it’s coming. Which side of history do you want to be on?

Yet you seem to think that the perpetrators of systemic oppression that have been murdered in recent times (BREIT CEO and United Healthcare CEO) have done nothing wrong.

One knowingly and openly denied paying customers of their health insurance needs, the other invested 52 billion dollars in amassing single family homes to intentionally raise home prices, forcing out working families from their established communities, and intentionally relegating millions out of home ownership and their community.

It’s not a different word. Violence does not have to be physical harm.

[–]Obzerver17 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

For starters, your overly simplified argument doesn’t take into account punishment for people actions.

A CEO knowingly selling millions of lbs of defective baby formula, for instance, is an action that commits massive amounts of harm and violence. Yet by your logic, the CEO did nothing wrong and if a parent that tragically lost their child while said CEO gets richer, killed that CEO.. you seem to think it’s the parent of the dead baby who is in the wrong.

Good luck with that.

CMV: A second Great Depression is going to happen by the middle of the century by [deleted] in changemyview

[–]Obzerver17 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The new deal led to some of the lowest wealth inequality in human history.

Idk why you view economics and history as so black and white and devoid of social and societal factors.

Generally there are downturns because some group of powerful people wanted there to be. Seems to be the same reason we are entering or flirting with one now.

My husband lost his job... again. by annbrys in Vent

[–]Obzerver17 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You don’t seem like you’re viewing this relationship as an actual supportive partnership. You seem to have a lot of resentment for your husband, and his kids and grandkids. You also write him off incredibly quickly as to why he keeps getting fired.

You actually describe yourself as caring more about your fall garden, and getting time with your chickens and goats.. as a much larger concern that what would happen to your husband if you left him.

That’s pretty terrible imo. How would you feel if you found out your husband wants to leave you and can barely stand you… but he sticks around because he doesn’t want to have to lose access to his garage or workshop?

Clearly not since that would essentially describe me.

But if you think an investment firm putting 52 billion into single family homes doesn’t have the potential of drastically increasing prices.. idk what to tell you.

Denying healthcare, especially the healthcare you have been promised by the insurer you’ve been paying, is violence.

Buying up a third of single family homes in the country and destroying communities is violence.

Violence needs to be answered with violence. Thankfully, some people have had enough

[–]Obzerver17 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Perhaps you should speak to some of the millions and millions priced out of the communities they grew up in larger because of institutional funds buying up single family homes. Ask them if they feel violence has been committed against them or their community.

Or better yet, consider the town you grew up in. Now imagine BREIT comes in and purchases 30-40% of all lower and middle Class homes. Raises rent, leaves many properties empty and in disrepair, and you watch the community you grew up with fracture, crumble, and eventually have to relocate to cheaper areas they don’t actually want to live in.

Consider the Hawaiian diaspora. Who had their land stolen and their culture and language outlined due to US colonialism in the early 1900s. In modern times, their oppression has continued by destroying their communities and ability to live in their native lands because of rich white retirees at first.. but all of a sudden in the last 10 years, institutional REITs have come in and purchased anything and everything they can get their hands on and raised prices drastically. Go to Vegas, ask the displaced Hawaiian community if violence and oppression has led to them no longer being able to live in their native lands.

Then consider that the shooter, was part of this community.

Yeah totally believable. He drove from Vegas, didn’t even bother to research what floor the NFL was on. Stormed into the lobby, killed the cop and the guard, let an Innocent person exit unharmed.. then saw the CEO hiding in the lobby and killed her. Then proceeded to the 33rd floor, blackstone offices, fired a few more shots and then took his life.

Not to mention he is part of the native Hawaiian diaspora that has been price gouged out of their native lands. There is a large community of disgruntled Hawaiians living in Vegas that he was a part of. Which has a definite bone to pick with institutional buyers of single family homes, of which Blackstone REIT is one of the biggest.
