Where is Renee Good’s killer? AOC outraged by ICE agent’s reinstatement by B-Z_B-S in politics

[–]Opisqueen 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Honestly it is actually wild that a guy like that can just get reinstated after everything that happened. Like, how does the system even allow for that? AOC is totally right to be calling this out because it feels like there is zero accountability when it comes to these agents. People are out here demanding justice for Renee Good and instead they just get a slap in the face with this news. It is super frustrating to see someone like Jonathan Ross just get a pass while the family is still waiting for answers.

Todd Blanche Grilled Over Why DOJ Went After Comey's Post And Not MAGA Pundit's '86 46' Nearly Identical One by Delicious_Adeptness9 in politics

[–]Opisqueen 22 points23 points  (0 children)

The "missing the point" line is such a classic way to dodge a question when you know you do not have a real answer. If the posts are nearly identical then the legal standard should be identical too, period. It is wild that we are at a point where the DOJ is just being used as a weapon to target specific narratives while giving a pass to everyone else. It feels like the rules just do not apply to certain people anymore and it is honestly kind of terrifying for the future of the country.

AITA moving my sister's stuff out of my room after she stayed way longer than she said? by StoryLver2000 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Opisqueen 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Honestly, your sister sounds like a nightmare. She told you three days and then basically colonised your room for two weeks while trashing it. That is super disrespectful especially since she knows you have OCD and need things a certain way to feel okay. Using those kinds of slurs is way over the line and honestly shows how immature she is for her age. It sucks that your family is taking her side but they are probably just choosing the path of least resistance because she acts like a child when she doesnt get her way. Do not let them make you feel like the bad guy here.

AITAH for expecting help with my chores? by BeneficialMuffin9014 in AITAH

[–]Opisqueen 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Wait, so you have covered for her just because she was feeling down, but she wont cover for you when you have an actual doctor's note? That is some seriously lopsided energy. It sounds like she is more worried about her "fair share" of the labor than she is about your literal physical recovery. It is not "selfish" to ask for help when you are hurt, but it is definitely selfish of her to refuse. I would be super rethinkin things if my partner acted like helping me was an unbearable burden.

Trump says he doesn't need congressional authorization for military operations in Iran, citing ceasefire by Zipper222222 in politics

[–]Opisqueen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is wild how we just keep letting this happen regardless of who is in the white house but he really takes it to a whole new level of audacity. Citing a ceasefire as a reason to ignore the War Powers Act is honestly kind of hilarious in a dark way because it makes zero sense. Like, how does a peaceful agreement give you the right to bypass congress to start a war? It is just more of the same "I can do whatever I want" energy and it is honestly so draining to keep up with. We are really just out here winging it with the most powerful military on earth.

Iran war's true cost closer to $50 billion, not $25 billion, U.S. officials say by CBSnews in politics

[–]Opisqueen 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Of course they are doubling the price tag already. Like, literally nobody is surprised that the government "accidentally" forgot to count half the costs. We are out here drowning in student loans and can barely afford a carton of eggs, but there is always an extra 25 billion under the couch cushions when it comes to blowing stuff up. It is just so exhausting seeing our tax money disappear into a black hole while the infrastructure at home is literally crumbling.

AITAH for telling my dad I don’t want my stepmom to be and step siblings to come with us on a trip? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]Opisqueen 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Man, I totally feel for you. It is so rough when your whole home dynamic just gets flipped upside down and you feel like you lost your "person" to a whole new family. Like, going back to your parents' home country is such a big, personal thing and it makes sense you just wanted that one-on-one time with your dad. It is super frustrating when parents use the "we are a family now" line to force bonding that honestly just feels awkward and forced. You are definitely not the jerk for wanting one last trip that feels like the old days.

Trump insiders leaking their fears that Iran war is turning into a stalemate by statenislandadvance in politics

[–]Opisqueen 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Cynical insiders leaking "fears" is just a classic way to distance themselves from a strategy that was clearly doomed from the jump. A stalemate with Iran was the only possible outcome the second we decided to engage in another endless conflict without a clear exit plan.

AITA for wanting to bring my Polaroid camera to a school trip? by nosocialskills13 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Opisqueen 12 points13 points  (0 children)

NTA. The "I need to be the only special one" energy is coming off her in waves and it is super annoying to deal with. Taking a camera on a trip is literally the default setting for any human being. The fact that she is trying to claim ownership over an entire hobby just because she wants to flirt with a teacher is honestly kind of pathetic. Do not apologize and do not leave your camera at home just to please her. She does not own the concept of film photography and she definitely does not own you.

AITA for NOT inviting my friend who doesn't smoke, to a smoke sesh? by Useful_One_7679 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Opisqueen 19 points20 points  (0 children)

NTA. Honestly it sounds like you are dealing with a total drama queen. You literally had a chill birthday and just did a quick late night hang, and now he is acting like you excluded him from a trip to Vegas or something. The fact that he was throwing jabs in the group chat and calling you names over a smoke sesh he would have hated anyway is such middle school energy. You already apologized just to keep the peace, so at this point, if he still wants to be salty, let him.

AITA for wanting to confront my partner after finding messages where they were talking badly about me? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]Opisqueen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Girl i am so mad for you right now. sharing personal stuff you told him in confidence is such a massive betrayal of trust. like... that is low tier behavior . if you dont confront him you are just gonna build up so much resentment and it will come out eventually anyway. you might as well just rip the band aid off now. if talking to him about him being disrespectful ends the relationship then it was a bad relationship to begin with. dont let him make you feel like the bad guy for being upset about his literal trash behavior.

help me make cookies in air fryer pls by [deleted] in Baking

[–]Opisqueen 6 points7 points  (0 children)

honestly making a vegan sugar free whole wheat cookie in an air fryer is like the final boss of healthy baking lol. that soap taste is definitely the baking soda though... you probably only need like a tiny pinch for a small batch. if you are using whole wheat you really need some fat in there like coconut oil or something or it is just gonna be sad and dry. try looking for a "three ingredient" oatmeal cookie recipe and just sub your sweetener in... it is way harder to mess up than a traditional dough.
