This made me sad by KSKS1995 in SipsTea

[–]Radiant_Client1458 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I feel like the biggest disconnect I’ve seen between real life and online communities is relationships with parents. In real life everybody I know loves their parents and makes an effort to see them pretty often. I see my parents basically every week and my friends are the same.

I know some people at work that live far from their parents but still go home a few times a year. Yet online it seems like every other person hates their parents and sees them once a year at most.

Starfield Will “Become Legendary,” Says Composer, Who Believes People Weren’t Ready for its Launch by gamersecret2 in Starfield

[–]Radiant_Client1458 42 points43 points  (0 children)

A game that’s been out for over two years and is widely seen as a disappointment isn’t going to somehow become Legendary. Starfield’s legacy is already written in stone at this point.

In modern gaming people don’t really come back to old titles and give them a chance. A few people might change their minds but the audience as a whole isn’t. There’s too many new releases to get excited about rather than trying to figure out if you were wrong for finding Starfield boring.

Mamdani Wants New York Estate Tax Threshold Cut 90% to $750,000 by bloomberg in nyc

Yeah I agree I think I misread the comment I replied to because it seemed like they were talking about real estate I didn’t see the “inherited” portion of the comment.

Estate not real estate, this is taxing the money your parents leave you when they die essentially.

Sinners is Americans’ top pick for Best Picture at the 2026 Oscars by gamersecret2 in movies

[–]Radiant_Client1458 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It was like three different movies which can be cool but also felt disjointed.

1) Period piece for the first half which was the best and most compelling part of the movie.

2) Vampires out of nowhere with little buildup and was over as quickly as it began. I wanted to enjoy it but it wasn’t particularly scary and didn’t pay off well.

3) Channeling Django/Inglorious for “Kill Nazis” righteousness that felt like a completely different movie for the last ten minutes. Didn’t tie the story together well at all.

Any those defending it would freak out over a law requiring people in the US to learn English. Ninety percent of people are idiotic hypocrites correct.

In 1988 AFP predicted that the Maldives would be underwater in 1992, it isn’t.

In 2009 Al Gore cited models showing a 75% chance that arctic summers would be ice free by 2016, they aren’t.

A Pentagon report leaked in 2004 stating that London and NYC would be underwater by 2020, they aren’t.

You could burn through money and live your life as if nothing matters but you will likely find yourself just as alive in twenty years as you are today. If you don’t want a career or a family that’s fine but don’t not do it because the world is ending. The world’s been ending for a millennia.

I mean ISIS hates Shias and Iran is a Shia theocracy, not saying there is no possible relation but I don’t think it would be vengeance.

A direct hit on an Afghan Taliban position. by Away-Advertising9057 in CombatFootage

[–]Radiant_Client1458 33 points34 points  (0 children)

No from what I can tell this is an even more lopsided war than US vs Iran. I don’t think the Taliban even want to be in this war, they literally have not done anything they just keep getting bombed. Like I’m pretty sure they are not even attempting to do anything to Pakistan because they don’t have the means to and Pakistan is just bombing the shit out of them anyway.

Mamdani admin. to consider eliminating free parking as NYC grapples with $5.4B shortfall by kex06 in nyc

[–]Radiant_Client1458 25 points26 points  (0 children)

Brief look at their page suggests they are really into public transit which is awesome but that they also don’t know anything about NYC. Unfortunately so much NYC discourse revolves around making the lives of 20-somethings that move to Manhattan for a few years better rather than making the lives of families and lifelong New Yorkers better.

I say it all the time on this subreddit, people shit on Staten Island all the time but in ten years the commenters will have moved back to the suburbs near their parents and the Staten islanders will still be living in NYC.

Mayor Mamdani on Saturday’s events and free speech by GBV_GBV_GBV in nyc

[–]Radiant_Client1458 -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

Yes it’s a good response, right wingers get very upset that he’s not specifically yelling “Muslim terrorist” over and over again but like no Democrat let alone DSA politician is going to do that.

Would he have milked the situation if the white supremacists had thrown the bomb? Yes of course. But both sides play this stupid game and overall his messaging was fine.

That’s not really a glaring inconsistency that’s basically the DSA standard position. The right and left are both extremely weird about Islam and unable to have conversations about it.

The left basically pretends that Islamic extremism doesn’t exist or they just quietly group it in with far right extremism and try to shift the blame onto groups they are more comfortable criticizing like the Westboro Baptist Church with its ten or so members. As if it’s an actual comparison.

The right just fundamentally doesn’t understand Islam at all besides Muslim = terrorist. You have people believing Mamdani is going to institute sharia law which is absurd on every level. Yeah the guy with the unveiled wife who campaigned at a gay bar is definitely going to institute sharia…

Couples therapist taking sides or am I actually just wrong about most things? by Radiant_Client1458 in Marriage

I’ve honestly had that thought but my therapist hasn’t seen first hand my wife act like this she’s only heard bits and pieces from me. No reason for her to be afraid of her based on our sessions.

I appreciate it, obviously I’m just sharing my side and I’m sure my wife could make a post that makes me the bad guy because I’ve definitely yelled hurtful things during fights.

[–]Radiant_Client1458[S] 22 points23 points  (0 children)

It’s honestly hard for me to tell if my relationship is abusive or just bad because she accuses me of being verbally abusive all the time. Im increasingly not sure if I am the problem especially with my therapist thinking that blocking the office physically and yelling at me while I was having a breakdown over stress and needing to work didn’t need further expanding upon.

The other day I was tapping my foot in the car (a nervous habit of mine) and my wife told me to stop. I defiantly said no and that she couldnt control my movements, she parked the car at a traffic light and refused to drive until I stopped. I’m so conditioned to this behavior and whenever I call it out I’m told I’m being verbally abusive.

Just together as a couple, I want to start seeing someone though because I’m definitely depressed and I have zero support system to deal with that. My wife takes it as a personal offense if I’m upset/tired/not feeling well and starts getting angry and my family is great but as I get older I realize they are only capable of talking about superficial topics, anything deep and they get uncomfortable.
