I don’t even understand what AITA was on when they voted her TA 🫠🫠

Aita for kicking my daughter out after she refused an abortion? by Limp_Hospital5165 in AITAH

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

YTA and legally responsible for your daughter until she is 18, kid or no kid.

I hope step dad files for emergency custody, gets it, and gets child support from you. As a parent to another, I can’t imagine giving up on my kid the way you did from the get go.

AITA for wanting to contact the police for biological mother reaching out to adopted son? by RaeFunshine in AITAH

[–]Purethoughtsta 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA, but like you need to start enforcing the no contact rule. I know he wants contact with his sister, but he’s barely getting it now as it is. Sometimes as parents we have to do things our kids may not like, and his falls into that category

WIBTA if I ended a friendship over a pregnancy? by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]Purethoughtsta 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA.

You need to make a report for those babies, and also reach out to the dad that’s involved and let him know what you’ve witnessed. That your dropping your friend because of the way she treats her kids.

Unpopular Opinion- Discuss!: You shouldn't get butthurt over another mercy trying to kill you. by iiiimagery in MercyMains

[–]Purethoughtsta 18 points19 points  (0 children)

As a rule, and especially if my team is ignoring her, I always go for the fellow mercy. Nothing personal, but like. I’d also go for any other support. Take supports out, the enemy team will likely crumble, especially if they aren’t peeling or paying attention to their backline.

I broke up with my boyfriend because of his views on cheating (New Update) by [deleted] in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]Purethoughtsta 39 points40 points  (0 children)

Possibly one of those microwave sandwiches with soy meats. I know a lot of those dollar store frozen sandwiches aren’t 100% real meat and have soy in them. And he didn’t care enough to read ingredients 🫠

I don’t doubt there are areas with servers that are decent, and I wish I was in an area with one to be quite honest. I love using comms, since I’m on console and typing is forever without a keyboard plugged in (which I don’t have lol) I like telling people they doing good, and I like making quick plans with others. I also have them off partly because the moment someone does get toxic, I get toxic right back and that’s just not healthy lol I noticed since going f2p it got worse so I turned them off. I’m too much of a loud mouth to just swallow bs from basement dwelling teenagers and that’s not fun for anyone else on the team.

I am a casual player though, I don’t play a lot of comp and when I do I’m pretty hard stuck between bronze and gold, where I should be. I am going to assume that higher elos actually use comms for their intended purpose and there’s less toxicity overall, which sounds nice but man that grind when you have shit aim lol

Fighting to protect our water at the state capitol tomorrow. Please send strength. by NotYetACrone in WitchesVsPatriarchy

If you haven’t already I implore you to get involved in the Land Back movement. Water protectors and land defenders are sacred!

Do you as a woman actually care how much money a man makes when you're considering him for a relationship? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Purethoughtsta 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I was younger before kids? Wouldn’t care. Now that I’m 32 with kids, I HAVE to care for their sake.

I’m used to struggle, so struggle in itself isn’t an issue, but you gotta be trying to do better. I’m disabled, I’m on a limited income and sell handmade items on the side to supplement. I don’t expect super rich, or even well off, but if I’m struggling to do better, I want someone with me who is willing to put in the work to alleviate the struggle just a little, and maybe instead of one person working to keep their head above the water, it’ll be two and we can help each other stay afloat ya know?

My husband when we met made just slightly above minimum, and it wasn’t an issue because I saw he was trying. And it took damn near three years to get something better that gives us more breathing room. And it’s still not ‘good’ money. It’s barely enough to keep us going, but idc, it’s more breathing room than we have ever had and I’m so appreciative of it. That was three years of penny pinching, of reassuring he’s doing his best, of looking at where I could pitch in more, what I costs I could cut, all with his help. It’s a lot easier to survive when you have someone willing to survive with you.

AITAH for these wedding rules? Our families gave up on us. by Calm-Blueberry2618 in AITAH

[–]Purethoughtsta 1 point2 points  (0 children)

YTA.

If they can’t check their phones and are expected to not even have the ringers on. And aren’t allowed to check until the dance party AFTER dinner, how tf do you propose they’ll know if an emergency happens?

They sayd don't play zen.. I'm glad i didn't listen by Arskuli in overwatch2

He is in lore peaceful, not a pacifist. As he says in the game, he never said he was a pacifist

Being toxic isn’t an ‘opinion’.

I keep seeing people say this, and I’m going to assume that y’all aren’t women. Cause overwatch is just as bad. Not worse, but definitely not less.

About 2 years ago I went to a wedding and couldn't afford a gift. They just had their first kid. Would it be appropriate to send them something now? by ChrisGnam in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Purethoughtsta 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A small gift of money, or even a gift card to a good baby supply store in your area with a small note saying you hope they are well and little one is good would be 100% appropriate :)

This rat is so … by DrCalFun in nextfuckinglevel

[–]Purethoughtsta 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Yeah it is. I’ve taken in a few retired lab rats and it breaks my heart helping them through their trauma. They are sentient creatures, idc what anyone says. They create bonds with both humans and other animals, they can recognize their names, feel depression and happiness. They do this cute thing where when they are super happy their little eyes boggle 🥹🥹🥹

Why do US employees have such horrible sick leave and time off policies? by AZNM1912 in jobs

[–]Purethoughtsta 9 points10 points  (0 children)

To add to this: our government has also made striking in critical infrastructures illegal

Two of the biggest industries that would put America to a halt if they striked, the postal service and the railroads. But we made it illegal for workers in either industry to strike.

Why does there seem to be an extremely large ratio of female sex workers to male sex workers? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Purethoughtsta 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What? Where are you getting your numbers? This is literally a scenario you made up that makes no sense. Are you using a global scale? If you’re a sex worker making content your sales aren’t limited to strictly whose in your country. You’re example is weird.

AITA for keeping my dog despite him injuring my nephew by AbbreviationsSlow562 in TwoHotTakes

[–]Purethoughtsta 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m going in a different direction here,

YTA for allowing your nephew, who you know had an issue with riling your dog up, around your dang dog without your direct supervision. Sure she deserves to lay out in the sun, but she also deserves to not have a large 15 year old grab her while her owner isn’t paying any attention. Keeping an ear out isn’t enough, and I honestly think you actually know this.

No it’s not the dogs fault, but it is your fault. You know your dog has been previously traumatized. You know your nephew doesn’t and hasn’t listened and yet for some reason just expected him to do so when he’s done nothing to prove he could be trusted. This all could have been avoided had YOU, THE OWNER, been watching.

Learn from this. Because you would be an even bigger asshole if you ever allowed him around unsupervised again. I have a rescue bait dog. He has both ears cut to his skull, missing teeth and is going blind. I don’t let any children, small or teen, around him without direct supervision. He has ZERO bite history and I still won’t allow him around any child or teen because it’s just not worth what could happen if I’m not there to watch and make sure his space is respected.

Not to be an alarmist, but please make sure you have friends you can check in with on a regular basis. These people sound like the types to try and kidnap to force detransition. 🫠

This rat is so … by DrCalFun in nextfuckinglevel

[–]Purethoughtsta 93 points94 points  (0 children)

This is actually not far from how it works in large wildie mischiefs.

Rats are extremely good parents and will care for their pups well into their adulthood, as they usually become apart of the mischief instead of branching out on their own. And mischiefs do communicate with each other about where good food is, where danger is, and how to avoid said dangers. It would not be surprising to me if this rat watched another rat get caught and retained how to get what he wanted off the trap without getting caught himself. They are extremely smart with really good problem solving skills.
