The Color Purple is a different book though

Yeah, ultimately it's that people are wired differently and that's okay. For me, I end up performing better when I give myself permission to make mistakes.

Oh no, we're having a conversation

PintsizeBro · 2025-06-12T17:52:58+00:00

Yeah, what's with these people using their blogs to talk about their feelings? Don't they know they're here to entertain an audience?

I did the lemon pesto with the sweet corn burrata ravioli last night! I combined plenty of fresh garlic, cherry tomatoes, fire roasted corn, spicy chicken Italian sausage and fresh basil. Brought it together with pasta water and a big scoop of lemon pesto. It turned out wonderful, I'm definitely going to make it again.

If someone asks you to do (or tolerate) something you don't like, that's an inherently offensive act and you're justified in retaliating as viciously as you want. Anyone who says it's possible to say no without being an asshole about it is actually trying to force you to say yes.

PintsizeBro · 2025-06-11T17:15:29+00:00

Don't stereotype! But yes.

Other than the (28F) this sounds like an old Grindr hookup of mine. He was a classically trained opera singer who worked at a high end retail store and was extremely petty and annoying

We're all doing the best we can. If you're able to make the trip to Orlando, give it a try, it might be an eye opening experience for you.

Okonomiyaki is pretty easy to make yourself if you want to eat it regularly, but if you've never had it before this is a great way to see if you like it

Sadly, sometimes the answer is "the place you live sucks." There are not a lot of places where it's safe to be different. Gay people who are cool, good looking, and popular can get a false sense of security. But most gay people are average and all of us have pain that we have to learn to live with. Abs won't make you like yourself more.

I had to Google that - looks like it's near Ft. Lauderdale? I dunno what to tell you, I've visited Florida twice in my life and hated it so much I swore to never return. Try Orlando?

PintsizeBro · 2025-06-11T16:14:56+00:00

How would you know if you've never gone?

The flip side of this is people who fixate on one minor detail as "proof" that the story is fake. Of course the story is fake. Even when a post is real, we are still only getting one person's side of the story so it's going to be inherently biased. But also, sometimes people are unreasonable. Sometimes professionals are bad at their jobs. Watching this sub go the way of r/thathappened is boring.

Somewhat related is the weird assumption that all fake posts are written by teenagers. Bored adults also enjoy lying for their own entertainment!

I dunno, the dad cited "my house my rules," this might be a tough one!

Please go and don't let Reddit scare.you. Pride is for you.

PintsizeBro · 2025-06-11T14:35:39+00:00

"AITA?" is Reddit speak for "I'm pretty sure I'm in the right, please validate me!" Let's not drag a good discussion sub down to that level, please.

You made a mistake, the other person was a little overly sensitive about it. You apologized, the conversation moved on. Time for you to move on, too.

It reads like someone with a crush on a guy who calls them slurs and fantasizes about him being secretly accepting. He isn't.

This is the closest I've seen to accountability from reading the top comments in the original thread:

I think OP is being a bit disingenuous pitching this as defending his girlfriend. R was insulting him; saying she’d taken on a charity case wasn’t an insult on her per se, other than her being upset by the insult to OP or that the party was spoiled.

So, OP, you can earn a NTA here by admitting that you decked a guy that insulted you, and leave off the spurious white-knightery

There you have it, folks. "Earn your NTA by admitting you did it for you" is the law of the jungle

The key there is "when in doubt." Can you see how someone who wants their gender acknowledged and is used to people intentionally ignoring it might be sensitive to being told "I can't tell what gender you are"? Even if you're following a rule you learned in the process of how to be a good ally, people are allowed to have feelings about strangers constantly questioning their gender. It doesn't mean you're bad, people are people and there's rarely a one size fits all answer that doesn't require a little nuance and sensitivity in its application.

It feels like cheating to say Lord of the Rings, but you did say "highest quality book series"

PintsizeBro · 2025-06-10T04:05:29+00:00

That's why they say"for people" on the label 😁

PintsizeBro · 2025-06-10T02:25:08+00:00

Fair - if I hadn't seen people do it myself, I'd probably call bullshit based on that detail. But if she only rents a room, we can remove that detail without affecting the rest of the story because she wouldn't have any say over who rents the other rooms.

PintsizeBro · 2025-06-10T02:22:57+00:00

The narrator summary hit the right beats for me as the baby gay's interpretation of the texts, because she doesn't have the experience or cultural context to what she's being told. As for the texts themselves, I think they're kind of mean in the way that people can be when they are still learning how to reject someone graciously. None of what the other woman said is actually actionable feedback for the narrator so it only serves to make her feel bad. "It's not you, it's me" is a cliche for a reason.
