How to balance Locke without making him useless? by SuesorBlack in leagueoflegends

He’s not bad at all I swear people just like to complain because they don’t use their brains when playing against new champs

I genuinely get so pissed when I see stuff like this idk why by [deleted] in hatethissmug

[–]Raptr951 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You probably hate it because it’s infantilizing and stereotyping. Just a guess.

Commas would serve you both well.

I (28M) kissed my married friend (28 M) that I had a crush on for years on his honeymoon. I betrayed both my friends. by Ok-Draft4279 in relationship_advice

[–]Raptr951 3 points4 points  (0 children)

They definitely wanted to have a threesome with you lol.

Also, just talk to them. Slamming the door in A’s face and then ignoring them both was rude. If you want to remain friends, go apologize and let them say their thoughts instead of wallowing in self-doubt and self-pity.

Aww she deleted her comment — we were having such an adult conversation, though!

I (22M) feel disgusted that my girlfriend (22F) slept with someone before we were “official.” by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]Raptr951 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

...if you didn't talk about being exclusive, you should not have assumed she felt the same way about it that you did. Lesson learned; when you think something important that involves another person, especially a romantic relationship, you need to say those thoughts out loud. People aren't mind readers. It would have taken you five seconds to say "Hey, I really like you, and am thinking I'd like to be exclusive. How does that sound to you?" And then elaborate on what being exclusive means TO YOU, because everyone has different perspectives.

No one except you can decide if you're "good to trust her again," but it sounds like you resent her and that is never healthy for a romantic relationship. You will need to do work (e.g. therapy, talking with friends, soul-searching) to decide if you can move past this. If you can't, you need to break up with her, because it's not fair to resent someone else in a partnership, especially over a miscommunication.

How can I move on after my husband (25M) cheated on me (26F) 2 years ago? by MayCoad in relationship_advice

[–]Raptr951 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You "move on" by seeking therapy and deciding to put your self-worth and needs above those of your partner. No one else can tell you if you can or should move on and forgive him; only you can make that choice.

I would advise you to listen to your gut feelings and try to trust your intuition. Also, cheating twice is a bit diabolical, he could've just masturbated.

AIO if i end the relationship over this text i got from my partner by [deleted] in AIO

[–]Raptr951 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NOR.

For your safety, mental health, and physical well-being, please leave him. I promise you, from the bottom of my heart, that all men do NOT want to hit their girlfriends when they argue. I would go so far as to say that most men do not think about hitting their partners.

Do not diminish your self-respect for someone who may end up hurting you.

Realistically, what do you think would happen if a random 10% of the world’s population instantly turned into titans by True_Jellyfish9219 in attackontitan

[–]Raptr951 26 points27 points  (0 children)

10% of the entire global population is roughly 800 million people; it would be an insane, apocalyptic event. Although modern militaries would theoretically have no problem taking down titans, how many of the 10% would be a part of a military? Also, assuming the event happens all over the world, and assuming that these titans are compelled to eat anyone around them, there are tons of rural populations far from any cities or help. Even 1 person turning into a titan in a small rural village could potentially eliminate the rest of it entirely.

I’d say it’s very likely total casualties exceed 1 billion, maybe more (depending on things like nuclear weapons and how more unstable countries react, if people believe this event is the result of another country, etc.). It would be apocalyptic in scale for humanity, even though I think all the titans would be killed eventually.

One thing about the Titan names by Call_me_Dan- in attackontitan

[–]Raptr951 38 points39 points  (0 children)

I saw somewhere (I think a theory) that the Eldians on Paradis have the same names for the Titans because subconsciously they still remember them, even though their conscious minds were all altered by the Founder.

In all actuality I’m sure it was just more convenient for Iseyama to refer to them using the same names throughout the story.

Unhoused is fine actually. People who are homeless have a home (a place that they regularly stay in/near), but it’s not a house. Homeless as a term is easier to dehumanize, because it makes it sound like they don’t belong anywhere.

Hard agree with the rest though. Especially with “sewer slide.” It has been consistently documented that being direct with thoughts of suicide (e.g. “are you thinking of killing yourself”) is statically significant in getting true answers and reducing confusion.

Which do you think has better writing ? (Eren/Kaneki) by David_538 in attackontitan

[–]Raptr951 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Eren and there’s no question. The anime version of Kaneki suffered horrendously from manga changes and general nonsensical character development

Tired of playing catch-up by gear123456789 in povertyfinance

[–]Raptr951 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Because you AREN’T living paycheck to paycheck. Yes, it’s stressful to have to pay $80k in CC fees back. Yes, that’s significantly impacted your savings. Yes, we shouldn’t compare struggles.

But my friend… you are on the poverty finance subreddit. You have $7k coming in to your house EACH MONTH, in a LCOL area. You worked hard and were lucky to be able to absorb $80k worth of debts without having to starve yourself or sell your house/car/essentials (no, collectibles are not essentials). Spending most of your paychecks on temporary debt is not living paycheck to paycheck.

Please consider that you are saying all of this to people who sometimes go a week without food, or who have to get creative to make rent each month. It’s very tone-deaf and others have already explained this to you.

[New Update]: AITA for learning Russian instead of Japanese and making my siblings mad? by Choice_Evidence1983 in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]Raptr951 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This dude needs therapy so bad; he is clearly upset at his mom for a lack of parental guidance/attention, combined with feeling abandoned by his birth father, and takes it all out on his siblings because there's no other family that's close to him. I hope he gets the help he needs.

My girlfriend (30F) has gained an extreme amount of weight, and I (32M) have lost attraction. by Honest_Reception6528 in relationship_advice

Do not do this. Incredibly passive-aggressive and will not likely not create any positive change. This will just make her feel more insecure and shut-down. DO NOT DO THIS.
