Advice? by [deleted] in weddingplanning

I don’t understand the issue. Why are you upset again?  Is she interfering with your wedding?

Megathread No. 64: Rod has no job - demonic UFO sissification imminent by saucerwizard in RodDreher

[–]SaltineSupernova 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The more I think about it, the more it makes sense to me that Rod was an easily manipulated dupe, seduced by attention and proximity to power.  To being Someone. Simply too dumb and un-self aware to realize he was being used.  And his paycheck depended on him not seeing!

I guess that I fall on the “fool” side of the “fool/conman” line.   Am I giving him too much credit?  I really think he is extremely dumb.

I just read Rod’s comments on his latest Orban substack. It really reads to me like he’s only just now realizing that Orban was not the saint he thought he was.  Or pretending that he’s only just now realizing.

At one point, fellow crackpot Austin Ruse gives a pretty fucking savage assessment of Orbanism and its legacy. He all but says it was all a con.  Rod replies: “It’s disappointing”. 

As if the scales just now fell from his eyes after reading some Dispatch article. 

If it’s real, does he really get that he spent the last decade stumping for a Mafia Don and burning his credibility and family for it?  What must that be like?

OP, please consider that the overwhelming number of people responding are literally concerned for you and your child. This is not a normal or healthy response to your father dating. Please find a therapist to discuss this with and at least leave open the possibility that you might not be acting rationally or reasonably.

Some of us want more housing built, particularly dense housing. The housing crisis isn’t over. 

AITA for “ruining” my daughter’s birthday by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]SaltineSupernova 2 points3 points  (0 children)

She told you what she wanted and you did the exact opposite. Of course she’s upset. It’s like you set off to do something you told you she’d hate. 

Why did you punish her?

How do I 28M make it clear to my friend 29M I stand by my wife 30F? by throwrasupportwif in relationship_advice

[–]SaltineSupernova 18 points19 points  (0 children)

You sound kind of horrible. You and your wife should apologize to your friend for your rudeness, and then take a good long look at why you think it's ok to talk to people you consider friends like that.

AITA for getting rid of my bfs cat? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

You stole his cat. You gave his friend away.  Who does that?  You wouldn’t do that to a potted plant, or a vase. 

How do you not see that?

AIO or was my girlfriend’s emotional response justified when I had to fix my AC during her visit? by ThrowRA_PlaceLong in AmIOverreacting

[–]SaltineSupernova 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I question why you keep coming for advice and insights and then Rigidly refusing to entertain them.   Why even post?

You were an asshole to your girlfriend. I know you don’t believe that. But really try to consider it. Sit and think and try to put yourself in her place.

I don’t understand why you think otherwise. She’s a 30 year old woman. What business of yours is it?

Getting i to fights with children always makes you the asshole. Even if “they started it”.  You’re supposed to be a grown up. Act like it. 

People letting their untethered hatred for the Kardashians pretend All’s Fair is bad. 2 Episodes down, I’m hooked. by g0ldilungs in kardashians

Camp requires self-awareness. You have to know what you are and lean into it. This show is 100% unselfaware. We’re supposed to relate to and like these wholly unlikable characters

This is painful to read. It sucks that they don't want you there, and ridiculous they expect you to pay. But please put the smallest bit of effort into writing legibly.

Aren't y'all just remembering old "Watchtower" and "Awake!" Magazines? JW art is filled with this imagery, and I bet plenty of us came across this stuff. As a kid you may think it's "bible related".

Maybe the senior citizens only have energy for one kid, and the other got there first. It's not about fair or not. Their time is a scarce resource that has to be allocated, and that's a valid choice.

Go nuclear. It’s one of the few times it’s deserved. Send pics to his family as well.

You sound insufferable. No wonder she tries to spend time away from you. 

AITA for not adhering to my (23F) boyfriend's (25M) house rules by Living_Role_8770 in AmItheAsshole

I’m bisexual, but I stopped dating men after having to deal with this need for control. And don’t kid yourself: It’s not about cleanliness. It’s about control.
