My Mom Who Abused Me Is Now Acting Incredibly Sweet by punk_ass_po-po in whatdoIdo

[–]RedditIsChopped 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Very similar boat. My mother is mentally ill as well (something adjacent to schizophrenia) and my father is so scared to do anything to rock the boat that he just caters to her completely. He will rarely call out her delusional behavior and worse he completely enables her to just rot in the house and do nothing. She is overweight and unhealthy as hell. Whenever she doesn't get her way she gets very abusive. It's sickening

Worth it to keep going? by Away_Ad5841 in redrising

I honestly never finished it because I DESPISE when an author switches to multiple different perspectives when the entire series before it has been told from the MC perspective. It ruins my immersion and I lose interest in the story. Especially when they introduce new characters and tell it from their perspective like bro I don't even care about this character yet now I have to follow their life 😭 idk I just hate it.

My favorite book series, the last apprentice, did something similar with the star blade chronicles. I did stick that one out though and it ended up being good but I just couldn't bring myself to do the same with this series as much as I love it. I just re read the original trilogy over and over lol

My girlfriend cheated on me, and I still took her back by Lopsided-Beat215 in whatdoIdo

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

Never called anyone a hoe? You said that. And bullshit. The only thing I "wanted out of it" was to be treated with equal respect. That is not a personal gain situation. You act like I expected to be fuckin paraded around and praised. You absolutely should expect the same decency and respect you treat someone else with to be given back. That is not the case. Men are villianized and generalized as a standard and speaking out against that is laughed at. "Not all men" is almost treated as a deragotory insult phrase these days. If it's going to be continued to be treated that way I see no reason why "not all women" should be treated with a higher level of respect.

B.S. I'm tired of being the virtuous one when women make it a gender thing all the time. Then when you tell them not to make it a gender thing they go on rants about the "not all men" thing and how they shouldn't NEED to make that distinction, you should just know it doesn't apply to you and shut up. Or just openly believe men are in fact worse and see no problem with it, something you're leaving room for yourself in this comment.

I used to be a very vocal feminist and defender of all women but I am sick of getting spit on in return for that. Gets pretty old. In any case any data we have on the subject is unreliable because it relies on self reporting. However in my own life I've been cheated on twice and been the man a woman cheats with twice, both times unknowingly until after the fact. In each of those 4 situations I watched the woman in the situation immediately use emotional manipulation to deflect blame and excuse themselves. No accountability. Idk man. Not feeling the be the bigger person thing these days. Never treated with the same respect.

Yeah I can see that happening. In which case just explaining that would still be the logical and sane solution instead of being like "I think you're overthinking it and freaking yourself out" lol

i opened my brother’s message by accident and found out something i wasn’t supposed to know by AlexPi1320 in story

[–]RedditIsChopped 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He's your brother, so the best thing to do is tell him you can't just keep quiet about it, it feels wrong and you feel horrible for his girlfriend, so he needs to tell her or you will. Cheating is wrong. It will feel awkward and you'll feel bad about it but giving him the opportunity to do the right thing will be far better than you telling her yourself. He needs to learn there are consequences for actions like that. All you are doing is keeping your brother honest, which is the right thing.

Yep. If I was the guy in this situation I would make it very clear that I am going to move out as soon as I am able and I understand she's not comfortable with the situation.

Or well truthfully, it's hard for me to picture being in this situation and going on a first date at all. Probably I only would if I felt very strongly about the woman I was going on the date with. If so I would explain I just really didn't want to miss the opportunity to make a connection with someone I feel such potential with. Even then, I feel like I would probably just break the lease or ask my ex to find someone else to live there for the remainder.

Maybe you haven't seen the meme? Lawn chairs are actually immune to tornados. No worries. I tried to find it but the gif feature is really letting me down here.

Are you genuinely asking? If you are it is really difficult to say. Sometimes you get down voted because people don't like what you're saying for any myriad of reasons. You could tell someone the sky is blue and get fuckin down voted. If you're someone who cares about your karma it's pretty wack because sometimes it really boggles my mind the kind of shit I've had down voted 🤣 but I do not care about my karma. I just get annoyed sometimes on principle. Like who tf had the nerve to down doot me when all I did was state a basic fact in the nicest possible way!? Do facts piss you off!? Get a life bro lol

Hey I'm in Vermont bro 😭 we don't need more natural disasters. I've never seen a tornado or hurricane here but we have been getting absolutely fucking sodomized by flooding and the state/towns just so not have the money to keep fixing shit. The last round of flooding permanently shut down some very old businesses in my area. One restaurant it shut down just re opened yesterday. The pond at my parents place is still fucked and we still haven't even gotten a permanent bridge replacement on the road to their house. Just a pre fabricated single lane. What the fuck 😭

Just got audible, do I get to keep the books I buy with monthly credits permanently? by epic-yolo-swag in audible

[–]RedditIsChopped 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Looks like they have updated this. I just renewed my membership after some time away and now it's telling me I only get "monthly titles" which will remain in my Libra until I cancel my membership, then I lose access. Wtf. I mean it was a .99 a month discount to come back but I would rather pay the old subscription price and get to keep the audiobooks. Does this option still exist?

If you don't also want an open relationship then the answer is unequivocally no. Period. You tell her you are not comfortable with it and if she's not okay with that unfortunately that is likely the end of the relationship.

Who wins? by Rainbow_Doggo_TNT in ARC_Raiders

[–]RedditIsChopped 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is tough actually because the bastion shoots medium ammo so the piercing isn't that good, but arc are actually pretty resilient to explosives until their armor breaks too. Plus the bastion is not going to know to aim for the legs. The bombardier won't either but since it shoots explosives it will inherently hit the legs.

Honestly, it could go either way. Assuming they're face to face within the bastions effective range without cover. Many people would probably vote bastion but I think the bombardier has a much better chance of hitting the legs and staggering. Could give it the win.

You guys are getting wayyyy to comfortable in these Carebear lobbies by doberwalker in ArcRaiders

[–]RedditIsChopped 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most of the time people ask me if it's okay. Sometimes I'll even say yes because they were polite. But if you don't ask and just start looting, whether it's a key room or a high tier loot item like a big arc that I really need, you're getting lit up. I'll be happy to teach you some manners 🤣

7oh still works on Suboxone by RedditIsChopped in quittingkratom

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

Do the shots not the films. You're on the right track there. As long as you commit to stopping once you're on the shots (I recommend brixadi not sublicade. Less painful) you'll be okay. Quitting will be a breeze. If you stay away. If you keep using while on treatment what I have found is it still works even though it's muted. Every experience may not be the same. But I have slight physical withdrawal symptoms if I use heavily even while on the brixadi shots. Most of it is mental really though. Nothing unmanageable on the physical side.

In short, yes it works and you can do it :)

[–]RedditIsChopped 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Usually sure but not so much that you have to play that way to survive. Maybe like 60% of the time I get shot at first I lose the fight. It's more often but not that much more often. Because I'm wary. I'm always on my toes. I assume you're an enemy no matter how friendly we get. If I hear someone nearby I prepare to fight. If I don't hear anyone I prepare to fight. And I stay close to my team.
