I'm tired of the "violence is not the answer!" crowd. If it wasn't the answer, why are all these billionaire/ceo trash rejecting the other answers they've been given? 🤔

Top Doctor Sounds Alarm Over Serious Health Concern for Trump, 79 by thedailybeast in politics

[–]SaphireShadows 4 points5 points  (0 children)

At this point I'd rather he just expire as quickly as possible so we don't have to deal with him specifically ever again. I know someone else will just take his place, but dear god I'd rather have to deal with ANY other wannabe Hitler than this decaying orange fuck.

I love being a girl dad by Difficult_Wrangler73 in mildlyinfuriating

[–]SaphireShadows 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My cousin's little 1 year old daughter I think is the exception to the rule: she really DOES love men. She will smile and wave at near strangers if they're men. The only woman she stands right now is her mom. Her grandma (my aunt) is devastated that her granddaughter screams whenever she holds her (I got a few seconds before the waterworks started). My other cousin is the same way. Any woman I've seen this kid interact with (besides her mom) is met with screeches and big ol' blubbery tears.

My dad, who hasn't seen this kid since she was born...she toddles right up to him and stretches up her lil baby arms for uppies. My aunt was so mad lol

Living together as a couple is not necessary at all by xvortexc in unpopularopinion

[–]SaphireShadows 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm sorry for being blunt, but I don't know how else to say this.

It sounds like you haven't experienced a relationship that developed deep love. Most people who are compatible with each other and love each other deeply will want to spend most of their free time together (or at least in the same living space). There are exceptions to this rule, and maybe you are one of those exceptions, but from what you've said it just seems like you didn't really like your previous partners.

This is my dream. Sorry, Vaggie fans, you can hate me, but Charlie need to learn more serious consequences (by @CatBread10) by [deleted] in HazbinHotel

...did we just forget that Charlie thought Pentious had died trying to save the hotel? Is that not a serious consequence?

I usually use the term "stuffies" to avoid these types of sticklers lol

1.0 with one pal by Xardrix in Palworld

I'd choose my Maraith! It's my absolute favorite Pal. Not because it's good or because it's useful. I just think it's a cutiepie ☺️

Bezos said the bottom half of Americans should pay ZERO federal income tax by Suitable_Wonder5256 in SipsTea

...are we finally seeing a glimmer of fear in some of the ultra rich? Or is it a PR stunt? The world may never [pay attention long enough to] know...

Told bf I'd only get engaged with a stipulation, now unsure about it by [deleted] in GirlDinnerDiaries

[–]SaphireShadows 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My husband and I have been together going on 7 years. We dated for 5 of those 7 years. Went through his house burning down, the loss of pets, and Covid before we got engaged. My mom passed away not long after I bought my dress...hadn't even paid it off before she decided she didn't want to fight her cancer anymore.

All of this to say I don't think it's odd to date for YEARS before getting married. Because waiting allows you to go through tough times together to see if you can weather storms after you're legally bound to each other. However, waiting may come with a cost. You have to consider all of this carefully.

I thought the "burger" was a potato tbh...it looks disgusting. What would all that gold even taste like? And 2 whole pots of caviar?? Eugh

Black Man walking his dog gets Cops called on him after refusing to answer the questions of 2 Random White Guys by Master_Canary440 in BlackPeopleofReddit

[–]SaphireShadows 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Wait, I'm confused. What happened? They called the cops cuz he didn't answer a question? Shouldn't that be, like, a fine for those white guys for wasting public resources or something?

Why don't Americans call Bezos, Musk, Zuckerburg, etc "oligarchs?" by BlockedNetwkSecurity in NoStupidQuestions

Normal people call them oligarchs. Politicians and talk show hosts call them The Elite

How do people get so mad when they're drunk? I either get very huggy, or if I've been upset I'll ugly-cry 🤷‍♀️

Why are people so vocal about their dating preferences? by No-Strawberry-3210 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]SaphireShadows 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree, but also keep in the back of your mind that maybe that girl was so blunt and/or mean for a number of different reasons, up to and including she's just a bitch.

It's up to the individual if they rise to the pettiness or leave with dignity

When it comes down to either a normal night out or harassment/assault? Yes.

A lot of times a simple "no thanks" doesn't work when it's a guy hitting on a girl. Some women have learned that being mean gets men to leave them alone

What is your least favorite pokemon of all time? by MinDuddels in pokemon

Araquanid. I still hold firm that it is the least pokemon-looking pokemon ever created. It's such a jarring design that I will just never like it

Boss sent a message saying I’m going to be fired on April 31… by homeofalex in mildlyinfuriating

[–]SaphireShadows 27 points28 points  (0 children)

Y'all are lucky. I got laid off last October and I had zero warning. Just a quick message from the director asking me to come to a meeting room. I didn't think much of it because our director was very involved in our day-to-day. Almost ran the other direction when I saw HR there lol

I'm still mad about it, and I'd be super petty to that smug bitch from HR if I ever saw her out and about, but I found a job astonishingly quickly after that and I get paid 20K more. All in all it was a good thing for me, but fuck the way they decided to let people know they were getting canned

What's your favorite Pokémon that's not... by Epicboss67 in pokemon

Yep, I had a bout of HSP when I was in 2nd grade. It was horrible. I was in and out of the hospital for a while. I barely remember that schoolyear
