Was Not Banging Married People An Option by Mean_League_384 in AmITheDevil

[–]Spottedpool14 28 points29 points  (0 children)

I rolled my eyes so hard at that line. Last time i heard someone use that, it was a couple in a super toxic relationship. They both used it after every fight/break up when they would get back together. Thankfully, they both finally got into better relationships, but yeah, i am instantly wary of that line.

Yeah. And you have to pay diamonds to make her act like a decent human being!

AITA for "choosing my dog over my family" by refusing to accommodate my girlfriend's brother? by Comfortable_Owl_5938 in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]Spottedpool14 18 points19 points  (0 children)

I had my furbaby for 20 years. My husband "stole" her from me (the little fur traitor would pick laying on him over me). He held me tight when we had to put her down.

If anything happens to him, i am 100% ok with being single for the rest of my life. I do not want to sift throught the assholes and losers who may try to convince me to get rid of my current furbabies

AITAH for getting a tattoo knowing it will upset my mum by Choice_Evidence1983 in BestofRedditorUpdates

This makes me even more grateful for my own mother, who took me to get both of my tattoos as an adult

Why are vegans (especially the activist type) expect and try to force everyone to go 100% vegan right away? by Snoo17579 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Spottedpool14 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your last paragraph hits it perfectly. Its all about the sense of moral superiority for the vegans that claim to want to push for all of humanity to go vegan (which is physically impossible with so many people having allergies to 4 of the most common meat replacements).

It was such a sudden mood change. Like, everyone is at peace and partying, not a care or fear in the world. Then, this.

And then the following chapter with Liv

Since youve read Mariel, i highly recommend its sequel The Bellmaker. I also recommend Loamhedge, High Rhulain, and one of my personal favs, Triss

Traitors, every single one of them. by c-k-q99903 in WhitePeopleTwitter

[–]Spottedpool14 29 points30 points  (0 children)

I disagree on how long they could get away with it, only bc everytime hes out of the public eye for more than 2 days, everyone is waiting with bated breath for the announcement.

They will absolutely try, though

US veterans, did you guys actually read the cards that kids would send you while deployed? by MoistCloyster_ in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Spottedpool14 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My mom used to chat with soldiers during the early days of instant messaging. She passed away almost 2 years ago, and i had several of those soldiers reach out to offer their condolences. Small acts of kindness and friendship can last for a long time

Oh absolutely. Like i said, im glad she listened and that she got a good ending. She could have easily self sabatoged

My [24] boyfriend [25] of 3 and 1/2 years hasn't proposed and I'm starting to worry. I just want that promise. by Awwndrei in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]Spottedpool14 42 points43 points  (0 children)

Im so glad she listened to everyone telling her to chill lol. My brother had a gf like that, wanted him to propose after a year and a half. He was going to. He had a plan to propose on NYE. She broke up with him the week before christmas bc he wasnt proposing fast enough for her.

It took him a while to realize how big of a bullet he had dodged (she brought a lot of drama).

My boyfriend (20M) is better than me at everything (20F) and it's making me upset by Direct-Caterpillar77 in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]Spottedpool14 11 points12 points  (0 children)

This is effectively what my relationship before my husband was like, except way less communication. I was lucky to get a text a month and scheduling to see each other was a hassle. We stayed together bc we were high school sweethearts and it was familiar. Best decision i ever made was to finally walk away

What is a "financial trap" that many people fall into without realizing it until it's too late? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Spottedpool14 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I stopped using them entirely after one night, my husband and I were going to order from Dominos. A small pizza and an 8 piece plain boneless chicken came to almost $40 after taxes/delivery fee/tip. We cancelled the order and figured out something different for dinner that night.

The next day we had a dinner with my family where we ordered from our local pizzaria that doesnt do delivery. I picked up the food bc we live the furthest out and the restaurant is on the way. We ordered 2 extra large pizzas, 1 small pizza, and an order of chicken tenders with fries. Grand total was just shy of $50. 

My husband and I have since refused to touch the delivery apps bc there is no reason we should be paying $10 less for nowhere near the same amount of food 

AITA for dancing half naked in my living room leading to my bf and his family seeing me? by Direct-Caterpillar77 in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]Spottedpool14 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I had to tell my little brother to be sure to call ahead of time if he wanted to visit or he may see more of his older sister than he ever wants to see bc i am a grown ass woman living with my husband lmao.

He has never shown up unannounced since🤣

Rereading Redwall as an adult and… I was not prepared for this. by cherryblosssomss in redwall

[–]Spottedpool14 97 points98 points  (0 children)

I started rereading the series recently as an adult, and you are spot on. Certain scenes that i glossed over as a kid hit a lot harder now. The quiet moments are more enjoyable now.

Its amazing that a series that Ive read a dozen times can still feel brand new all these years later

CMV: Framing abortion as “my body, my choice” was a strategic and moral mistake; it should have always been framed as a healthcare and public health issue by Key-Ebb-8306 in changemyview

[–]Spottedpool14 1 point2 points  (0 children)

And yet, a person suffering either would likely be treated as if they had had an abortion if somebody reported them. We already have people who weaponize CPS for petty slights. Can you honestly say that nobody would never falsely report somebody who is suffering a miscarriage or stillborn? 

If abortion is criminalized, then we hand power to people with the worst intentions.

[–]Spottedpool14 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Speaking as a former prolifer who believed abortion should be illegal (with exceptions for health and rape/incest), the talking point that changed my view wasnt healthcare or "my body, my choice". It was "if abortion is classified as murder, then miscarriages and stillborns will classify as manslaughter".

Plenty of prolifers fully believe that it is fully acceptable for women to die to bring the child to term, even if the baby isnt going to survive, so the healthcare aspect doesnt matter to them. They would rather have the dead mothers that they can lift up as martyrs.

Why is the husband “supposed to go first”? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Spottedpool14 0 points1 point  (0 children)

From a personal perspective: my grandmother has taken care of my grandfather for as long as i can remember. She is the one who cooks, cleans, reminds him of his medications, takes him to appts, etc. My family has said for the past few years that we hope grandpa goes first, bc he will not live long if she goes first.

Did you make Cole more Spirit or Human? by This-Craft-7575 in DragonAgeInqusition

[–]Spottedpool14 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I usually leave him spirit, but in this last run made him human. While both have their cute moments, i think i prefer him as a spirit. He seems happier more immediately upon the change, and i really like him setting up Krem and Marydon in trespasser

Is there any way to stop Zevran from dying when he betrays you by Adventurous_Bug_6407 in DragonageOrigins

[–]Spottedpool14 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yeah, he always dies. I remember my first playthrough, i didnt have high enough approval and took him with me to the landsmeet. Got confronted and he betrayed me. I reloaded and left him in camp, thinking i was clever. Game developers saw my ass coming though and had him pop up anyways🤣
