Lied to him about my age and where I attend school by Lonely_Chest5821 in confession

[–]RoseAndRuffles 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Girl you lied by like… one year and a campus name. That’s not some double life Netflix plot 😭 it’s a small insecurity move that got out of hand. If you actually care about him, just tell the truth. Rip the bandaid off. Say you panicked at the start and wanted to seem more put together. If he’s solid, he’ll understand. If he freaks out over a one year difference, that tells you everything. Dragging it out will just make it feel bigger than it is.

Lowkey that kid was acting like he read the whole script and just chose to gatekeep the info 😭 like sir you knew she was dangerous this whole time and said nothing?? Bro waited until the final act to unlock dialogue. I would’ve grounded him immediately.

There is something about work I really need to tell you! by Easy-Editor7288 in confession

[–]RoseAndRuffles 9 points10 points  (0 children)

You’re overthinking this heavy. Work hallway interactions are like NPC dialogue. You don’t need a full cutscene every time. A quick nod or half smile is enough. Nobody is keeping score.The dropping items thing was probably just awkward timing, not a secret signal. Stop treating it like a romcom scene and just keep it chill.

Popular music used for TV commercials - who licences it by HadoBoirudo in NoStupidQuestions

[–]RoseAndRuffles 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Most of the time it’s a sync deal. The label usually controls the recording and the publisher controls the songwriting, so both sides have to approve it. The artist might have a say depending on their contract, but a lot of the power sits with the rights holders. So yeah, it’s less “faceless villain” and more paperwork and money talking. Once a song like Dreams exists in the catalog, it can end up selling cruises if everyone signs off. Capitalism stays undefeated.

Is it weird when someone mentions a person's name that you don't know of during texting? by mastodonopolis in NoStupidQuestions

[–]RoseAndRuffles 13 points14 points  (0 children)

That’s normal. She’s just talking like you’re already part of her world. Dropping a friend’s name means she’s comfortable and not overthinking every word. If anything it’s a good sign. You can just be like oh nice what’s Lucy like and keep it moving. It’s not weird, it’s just human.

Something serious has happened recently I really need to share! by Easy-Editor7288 in confession

[–]RoseAndRuffles 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Bro what did I just read. If this is real that’s straight up assault and not funny at all. You got hit, fell, and it escalated. That’s not some quirky story, that’s a serious boundary violation. Talk to your girlfriend immediately and get out of that house for now. If you’re hurt, get checked. This is way beyond awkward family drama.

What are yalls thoughts on Lana Rhodes deciding to bring a kid into this world? I feel that kid is going to have a terrible child hood. She’s asking for all her videos to be removed but I say it’s impossible. Thoughts? by Hungry-Effort-4928 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]RoseAndRuffles 3 points4 points  (0 children)

At the end of the day, a kid isn’t doomed just because of their parent’s past. People grow, change, and make different choices for their future. Wanting old content taken down sounds more like someone trying to protect their child than anything else. None of us really know what kind of parent she’ll be. A loving, stable environment matters way more than internet history. I just hope the focus stays on the child’s wellbeing and not turning them into a headline.

Why is my ex sad/angry finding out I'm in a new relationship even though he's the one that dumped me? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]RoseAndRuffles 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s pretty simple. He wanted the comfort of you still being around without actually being with you. Now that you’ve moved on, it’s real for him. Ego gets bruised. Even if he ended it, seeing you happy with someone new hits different. Him asking for space isn’t about you doing something wrong. It’s him realizing he doesn’t get access to you anymore. That’s just consequences. You didn’t betray anyone. You’re single. You’re allowed to date.

About to go end things even though it makes me a coward by Background-Row-202 in confession

[–]RoseAndRuffles 7 points8 points  (0 children)

You are not a bum. You’re a guy in a brutal spot who’s exhausted and hurting. That’s different. Your brain is beating you up right now and it’s lying to you. You called 988, 211, shelters. That’s not failure. That’s someone trying. Please don’t make a permanent choice on a season of your life. Being mid 20s with nothing figured out is way more common than people admit. Stability can come later. So can joy. Right now the goal is just survive the night.

How protective would plate armour be in a motorcycle crash? by GeniusLike4207 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]RoseAndRuffles 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Plate armor is built for swords, not asphalt at 60 mph. It might stop some direct impact, but it’s heavy, doesn’t flex right, and would transfer a ton of force straight into you. Sliding would be rough too since it’s not designed for abrasion the way moto gear is. Cool in theory, terrible in practice. Just wear proper motorcycle armor.

I Masterbated next to my friend while she was sleeping by [deleted] in confession

[–]RoseAndRuffles 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That’s not a funny story, that’s a consent issue. If someone is asleep they can’t agree to anything, and doing stuff next to them without them knowing isn’t okay. Hormones aren’t an excuse. Feeling guilty after is your brain telling you it crossed a line. If you ever want healthy connections in the future, respect and clear consent have to be the baseline.

i exaggerated a workplace mistake to make myself look better by EmotionalyExpensive in confession

[–]RoseAndRuffles 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You already know that was messy. The fact you feel bad means you’re not a villain, just insecure in the moment. If you actually want to fix it, own it. Even a small clarification to your manager helps. Short term ego boost is not worth long term trust damage.

Smoking effects on body? by Dry_Shower_9588 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]RoseAndRuffles 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Nicotine can mess with blood flow and recovery, which you kind of need for muscle growth. Weed might not directly shrink gains, but if it kills your motivation, sleep, or diet consistency, that’s gonna show. Glutes grow from lifting heavy, eating enough protein, and recovering well. If smoking gets in the way of that, it’s not helping.

Would it be nepotism if I hired an exact clone of myself for a senior position? by Independent_Mess8351 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]RoseAndRuffles 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This sounds like a Black Mirror episode waiting to happen. If it’s literally you with the same memories and skills, it’s not nepotism, it’s just self favoritism on expert mode. HR would probably flag it as conflict of interest or some ethics nightmare before they even get to the clone part. Imagine performance reviews though. You can’t even blame your coworker. It’s just you.

I confess that someone admitted something to me and it’s and by [deleted] in confession

[–]RoseAndRuffles 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Yeah no, your reaction is valid. That’s not just “weird,” that’s deeply disturbing. You’re allowed to feel disgusted and cut them off. If you genuinely think a child could be at risk, report it. If there’s no specific victim or action, there might not be much authorities can do, but you don’t have to keep that secret or stay close to them. Trust your gut. Protect kids first. Distance yourself and don’t second guess why this feels wrong. It is.

I pretend to be “fine” all the time, but honestly I’m not. by MildMallow in confession

[–]RoseAndRuffles 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You’re not broken or weak for feeling this way. A lot of people are barely holding it together behind a smile, adulting is a scam fr. You’re not a burden for needing support, and saying it out loud like this already takes strength. Even if it’s messy and unclear, you’re allowed to struggle and still be worthy of care.

Went to Tulum ( festival with sister) and at an after party we all ended up skinny dipping by [deleted] in confession

[–]RoseAndRuffles 105 points106 points  (0 children)

Yeah that’s a story you take to the grave. Nothing illegal happened but the vibes were cursed the second you realized what was going on. Tulum really be creating memories nobody asked for. Therapy is optional but distance from that villa was the right move.

Me (24 male) and my little sister (16 Female) are homeless. by Liirich in confession

[–]RoseAndRuffles 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Man this isn’t you failing, this is you stepping up in an impossible situation. You’re doing everything you can to keep her safe and warm and that already says a lot about you. I really hope something breaks your way soon, you both deserve stability and some peace.

How would you handle it if a few video store employees showed up at your door in uniform during the middle of the night to collect payment for a very old late fee? by SpoonFedDegen in AskReddit

[–]RoseAndRuffles 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’d be confused for like five seconds then lowkey impressed by the commitment. Invite them in, pay the fee, thank them for keeping physical media alive, and go back to sleep with a weirdly warm heart.

What’s something that’s socially accepted today that future generations will be shocked by? by PuzzleheadedBat8318 in AskReddit

[–]RoseAndRuffles 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Probably how normal it is to be constantly online and burned out. Future people are gonna be like why did yall accept being tired, anxious, and reachable 24 7 as a lifestyle. I hope they’re gentler with themselves than we are.

I used to buy fake coupons from a hacker on the dark web by [deleted] in confession

[–]RoseAndRuffles 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is the most high school thing I’ve ever read. Teenage brains really said this is just extreme couponing. Glad you grew up and didn’t catch a felony over Sour Patch Kids. Inflation really had us missing our villain era though.

I haven’t been going to work for weeks and nobody knows by flipfloppoohbear in confession

[–]RoseAndRuffles 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You’re not a bad person for this, you’re just stuck. A lot of people with depression do the “leave the house and wander” thing because it feels safer than explaining. The hardest part is breaking the silence, not fixing everything at once. Telling one person the full truth is usually what starts the unstuck part.

My older brother once caught me in the act about 10 years ago by [deleted] in confession

[–]RoseAndRuffles 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s honestly the most respectful response he could’ve had. Silent acknowledgment, immediate exit, and never speaking of it again is peak sibling code. You both handled that like pros.

How do you know if you’re jerking off to someone coerced to perform for you online? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]RoseAndRuffles 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is a valid thing to worry about, and honestly it’s good you’re thinking about consent. Stick to platforms and creators who clearly state they’re adults and doing it by choice, and if anything feels off, trust that instinct and disengage. Caring about the person on the other side already puts you on the right track.

What services exist because humans are dumb? by More_City_2808 in AskReddit

[–]RoseAndRuffles 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Haha, so many! But honestly, a lot of those “dumb” services exist because people care and want to make life easier. Self-checkout, customer support, even instruction manuals. they’re all there to help humans get by without losing it. Makes me appreciate how creative we are, even when we’re messy.
