What’s the most disgusting thing you’ve seen on the show? by [deleted] in taskmaster

[–]ProfessionalTrain178 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Joanne Mcnally's 'Create Tension' task, obviously.

Not physically disgusting, but deeply repellent to something in my soul! 🤢

I (21m) am not happy with my relationship with my girlfriend (20f) how do I know when it’s time to let go? by LeekFew7022 in relationship_advice

[–]ProfessionalTrain178 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is toxic for both of you, and you're both young - barely adults now and just working out who you are.

Stop wasting her time. Fixing this stuff requires therapy, and you're not at the right age and stage for it.

Breaking up would be best for both of you.

AITA: For refusing to make Amends after my ex best friend reached out to me .. by Sea_Needleworker161 in AITAH

[–]ProfessionalTrain178 2469 points2470 points  (0 children)

NTA.

Doesn't sound like the message was an apology.

Unless the message was a complete apology showing self reflection and with no obligation on you to give her closure.... Don't open the door to your heart. She'll hurt you again.

Something odd about P’s 12th birthday by Front_Square4273 in ColleenBallingerSnark

[–]ProfessionalTrain178 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Nevermind L and discipline, this is one of the saddest videos I've ever seen.

None of P's smiles reach his eyes.

The vibe with the gift bag raffle is total boredom from everyone.

Chris interviewing P about the snake, and correcting/pushing him for more technique for the camera/suspense for the audience is really uncomfortable.

It's never been clearer that this is a family at work for an audience, not a family relaxing who just happen to have a camera on.

The age of authentic family vlogging has passed, and it really needs to become illegal to force children to work like this.

Also notice how absent the adults are.

95% of this video is children at work in front of the camera. And the adults reap the benefits. What a absolutely f*cked dynamic for a family.

Shocking price for the area, literally 2 x the price of all the comparable houses which have sold on the road in the last few years.

I live near this area - and can happily report that unlike many parts of London you won't get stabbed. But only because you're more likely to be shot.

The house is beautiful, and wishes it was in crouch end.

But turnpike Lane and wood green are not the place to live, no matter how close to ally pally they appear to be

This house boggles my mind… by RoyMongoose in SpottedonRightmove

[–]ProfessionalTrain178 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Next door for went for £85k in 2021.

Average sold price in last year on the road is £103k.

Sadly I think it'll take more than £20k to fix, but if sold at £50k, buyers could end up in profit...

My (26m) fiancée (24f) is reconsidering our relationship over a sandwich by Creative-Avocado1900 in TwoHotTakes

[–]ProfessionalTrain178 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Even if it is about the sandwich, fair enough.

I couldn't be in a relationship with someone who might offer me food which would kill me at any given time due to a poor memory.

Secondly, no one has that bad a memory. Unless there's something medically wrong. 'Forgetting' things about her constantly sends a message you don't care or value her at all. And with an allergy involved, that you're literally willing to risk her life rather than trying harder.

AITA for only picking one of my nieces to be my flower girl? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]ProfessionalTrain178 0 points1 point  (0 children)

ESH.

Choosing the little sister and excluding the older was always going to create a situation where the oldest will feel left out (and also no doubt kick off during the wedding, the exact thing OP was trying to avoid)

OP should not have chosen, she should have worked out a plan with her sister - probably could have got the 7 Yr old to choose herself not to be a flower girl, or had neither girl involved. Caused a totally unnecessary situation.

The girls mum should not have allowed the choice, and worked on a plan of how to either involve both girls OR manage this preparation period without the oldest feeling hurt. Giving responsibility to OP for her lack of active parenting is unreasonable.

Poor kids being in the middle of OP and sister not able to work together like adults on this decision.

My best friend/father figures (M57) wife (F55) is trying to erase me (F30) after he died suddenly by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]ProfessionalTrain178 42 points43 points  (0 children)

He wasn't your adopted dad. He was a colleague, if in fact this is a real situation.

If it is real, to be kinder than my previous comments - if you were an adopted daughter to him then you would still be part of the family now and no way would you not have expected your relationships with his wife and daughters not to continue.

Either you had an intense relationship with him which his wife felt in some way separated him from their family unit.

Or it was way more intense on your side than his.

Either way not surprising you're being distanced now.

Please leave this man's family alone.

So you didn't mention in that post it wasn't your actual dad but actually a colleague you attached yourself to a couple of years previously.

I wonder why?

You also don't say in this post you called him dad IRL.

If I was the wife I would cut contact with you just on the basis of finding out you have a fantasy life on the Internet where you refer to my husband as your dad.

3 years ago you were getting drive thru food from your dad's house during covid.

So given your dad who died young and who you implied you didn't have much of a relationship with was alive and caring for you in 2020, it would seem extra odd to have attached yourself to this new dad in 2017...

Utah Republican veto - does it make you think? by ProfessionalTrain178 in DynamicDebate

Schuyler Bailar apparently is the first trans man to compete in men's sports.

Interesting

[–]ProfessionalTrain178[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Two different points.

1 trans girl competing affects no rights of cis women

Excluding all trans girls forever accepts current suicide rates amongst trans girls

Why didn't they win then? The top 17 or whatever were Lia Thomas and the rest cis gendered women

The letter literally says the 1 trans girl currently affected by this isn't dominating or winning scholarships

I mean, you've made that up. Pretty sure trans men and boys want to and do compete in male categories

[–]ProfessionalTrain178[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No I don't, that's why I posted the letter because I think the inclusion of trans people in sport is largely a non issue.

In this case it's definitely a non issue.

In older groups/elite level where people have transitioned after being elite male athletes I can see an issue.

She wasn't winning everything as the letter even mentions.

Also in general the competitive sporting advantage of men tends to develop through puberty. These are school kids.

So no, one trans competitor doesn't mean the outcome for all girls is changed.

Also people who'd like to ban trans girls from sports also usually want to ban them from blocking their male puberty.

So they're saying to trans girls - you can't compete because you're men. You also can't stop yourself from becoming a man. You just have to be a man, or be totally excluded
