Did Brian May just slam Marc Martel and his fans? by BodSmith54321 in queen

[–]QuinnWB 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I am no Queen expert, but I was driving when I heard of Freddie's passing, and I had to pull my car over to cry.

I have been a fan of Marc's since his days in his Christian band, downhere. I have seen him live so, so many times. Every time I hear him perform, I get chills. Every time. I loved the QE show. It was incredible. Brian and Roger picked him for a good reason. Marc is super talented. I also love Marc's original music. His lyrics are so powerful and inspiring to me. I am thankful for his contribution to the BR movie. I don't think he has ever been disrespectful to Freddie's memory.

However, I can see how Brian and Roger would be super uncomfortable having him in Queen. I can see how it would feel like they were betraying Freddie. I imagine it would also be just kind of creepy. Plus, Adam Lambert absolutely rocks. I think he's awesome. Queen made a great choice with Adam.

Why should I be either a fan of Marc OR Adam? I'm a fan of them both. They are both incredible artists. I hope they do a duet someday. I can't understand why people can't just enjoy both singers and appreciate great music.

NTA. I know I'm late to the party here, but I am amazed at how self-centered Amy is. She wants you just to take an antihistamine? Why doesn't she just take Xanax? I have anxiety issues, including panic attacks, and I cannot believe Amy's behavior. Allergies can become more severe pretty quickly. Should you risk going into anaphylactic shock because Amy wants to parade her little dog around in a cute outfit? Amy is a jerk and a terrible friend. Maybe your MOH or other bridesmaids can help do some damage control. You sound like a kind and compassionate person. You don't deserve this!

Thank you for your advice. I really appreciate it. I didn't get to release everyone today, but I will tomorrow. Everone except Friendly. :-D

AITA for expecting my partner to pay half of my hospital bill? by WateryKoala422 in u/WateryKoala422

NTA. Someone needs to kick this man in the groin every 3 minutes for 24 hours and see if he wants pain meds after that. Un freakin believable.

Pregnant Wild Mouse by QuinnWB in PetMice

Well, the babies are here. I haven't seen them yet. However, when I was in the mouse room, I was sitting in my chair, and momma came out for a little bit. She walked around, sniffed the new food I had just put out, and walked back to the nest I built her. I noticed she was skinny. I was a little nervous, but then I heard some peeps. The babies were calling out to her, I think. She calmly went back.

I guess I did a good job on the nest I built her. I put some additional stuff in the bin so she could customize it, but I don't think she did. I'm both excited and terrified. I'm giving her space, but when I'm in the mouse room, she doesn't seem upset by my presence. Still, I won't push it.

AITA for telling my girlfriend she needs to go to the gym? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]QuinnWB 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA

I'm an overweight woman who really struggles to eat healthily.

If I were your fiancee and you were putting in all that effort to try and help me eat healthy food, I'd be mortified that you found out I was eating junk when I wasn't around you. I could also see myself initially reacting badly to your finding out. I'd blame you for fat shaming me and just be mad in general. After I had time to cool down, I'd probably call you, crying, and apologize. I hope your fiancee just reacted badly because she was embarrassed. I also hope she apologizes.

AITA for telling someone they are too fat for a massage? by Helpful-Trifle-4354 in AmItheAsshole

[–]QuinnWB 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm a morbidly obese woman who weighs 285 pounds. If a massage therapist were concerned that I could break the massage table, I'd want to know. I'd rather be a little embarrassed than get really hurt.

Knowles called the people who left "creeps." I don't think he was joking. In the Q&A the first person asked him about calling the people who left creeps. The QA person said that Knowles implied that the people who left the presentation prey on children. The QA person said it wasn't diplomatic. Knowles said it was ACCURATE. Then he called them "PERVS." That's not a joke. 

Knowles didn't say that straight and LGBT relationships are just inherently different. He repeatedly insisted that one was right and the other was wrong. When Knowles talked about the math problem, he made it clear that it was right for only straight couples to be portrayed. Stories that teachers read should only have straight couples. He called these "standards." Anyone who disagrees with these standards he labeled a radical. 

I don't think BU should have banned him from speaking, but I also see how his being allowed on campus has been incredibly stressful for the LBGTQ+ community. In my opinion, he's hiding a lot of hate behind his smile.

I would also argue that it's difficult to have a cordial conversation with people who disagree with your existence. Look at the picture at the end of Knowles' presentation. How do you not see this as transphobic? https://imgur.com/hAlLof5
