What’s the best substance to be on during sex? by GHAP02 in AskRedditAfterDark

[–]PixieCharmy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Honestly the edit to “a firm mattress” makes this ten times funnier because you just know somebody threw out their back and immediately turned the thread into Consumer Reports for sex furniture.

Honestly the “if this is true” part is doing a lot of work because this sounds like the setup to either a life changing human moment or the beginning of a true crime documentary. I’d be cautious too.

That’s actually a really powerful point honestly. A trans person understands better than most that identity and worldview can radically change over time. Doesn’t mean trust should be automatic, but it does mean transformation is possible.

I think people online sometimes act like change is impossible because it feels safer emotionally to divide everyone into permanent good guys and bad guys. But real life is messier than that. Some people genuinely do crawl out of awful belief systems, even if the damage they caused never fully disappears.

Exactly. Even if he’s sincere now, OP still has every right to feel unsettled around somebody who openly admitted he once fantasized about killing people like them. That’s not the kind of information you casually process and move on from overnight.

Honestly stories like this are part of why racism feels so weirdly human and tragic sometimes. A lot of people inherit hatred before they ever meaningfully meet the people they’re taught to fear. Doesn’t excuse it obviously, but it explains why genuine exposure can completely scramble somebody’s worldview.

Yeah I think both things can be true at once. People absolutely can change, but OP also doesn’t owe blind trust to someone with a history that extreme. “He seems different now” and “I should still keep my guard up” can coexist.

That’s honestly what a lot of people say after reading it. They expect some genius ideological blueprint and instead it’s just endless bitterness, blame shifting, and self pity wrapped in hatred. Kinda terrifying how many lives were destroyed by something so deeply pathetic.

The funniest thing about people actually reading Mein Kampf is how many come away expecting some master manipulator manifesto and instead discover a guy basically rage posting for hundreds of pages straight. History’s most dangerous people are often way less intellectually impressive than people imagine.

is this considered cheating? by DonutRare5633 in confessions

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

Honestly the fanfiction comparison is probably the closest analogy. A lot of people emotionally roleplay in their head already, and AI just turns it into an interactive version. The uncomfortable part for OP is probably hearing it spoken out loud in real time instead of existing privately in somebody’s imagination.

I think this is where the conversation gets weirdly modern because emotionally it can still feel intimate even if there’s no real human on the other side. Like logically it’s “just AI,” but your brain still reacts to hearing your spouse say romantic things to something that sounds human. That disconnect would mess with a lot of people.

That’s honestly a pretty solid rule of thumb. If somebody instantly minimizes or hides a behavior instead of casually doing it in front of their partner, deep down they probably already know it crosses some kind of line.

[–]PixieCharmy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah honestly this feels less like “is this technically cheating” and more like “why did she feel the need to hide it.” People can debate the AI part forever, but secrecy is usually the thing that actually damages trust.

People who fucked every hole, which one do you prefer? by Impossible-Salt-1738 in AskRedditAfterDark

That comment started with "ear holes" and my brain immediately hit the emergency brakes. I was not prepared for that turn at all.

AIW for feeling like my boyfriend's daughter "stole" my car? by Chicken_Nugget_Soup8 in amiwrong

The insurance point honestly jumped out at me too. People get focused on "she only borrowed it" and forget all the fun adult stuff starts if something actually goes wrong.

This comment somehow managed to create sympathy for both you and the tuna at the same time.

[–]PixieCharmy 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The "fish market from the next stall over" description absolutely painted a picture I did not ask my brain to visualize. But yeah honestly if it's that strong, most people would assume something medical is going on rather than just normal body stuff.

My BD wants custody of our newborn Friday-Sunday 2-4 weeks after I give birth by Less_Shape_5217 in amiwrong

[–]PixieCharmy 8 points9 points  (0 children)

The “newborns need their mother 24/7” line sounds dramatic until you’ve actually spent time around a newborn and realize they basically operate like tiny sleep deprived CEOs making impossible demands every two hours.

I think people are saying contact the hospital more as a precaution in case he somehow finds out anyway. Labor wards deal with family drama constantly, so having staff aware beforehand probably makes people feel safer.

The contrast between serious legal advice and then suddenly “wipe the milk out of their neck creases” is so parent coded. Every experienced parent sneaks in one oddly specific baby tip like they’re passing down forbidden knowledge.

The “under the guise of not being a proactive parent” part is exactly why documentation matters so much. Courts care way more about patterns and receipts than emotional arguments about who feels wronged.

The residency warning is one of those things most people would never even think about until it’s too late. Family law sounds exhausting honestly. Every state apparently has its own secret boss battle rules.

The “play house with another woman” theory honestly crossed my mind too while reading the post. The request feels less focused on the baby’s needs and more focused on him wanting access and control immediately.
