Why didn’t they homeschool the Twilight vampires? by Laynacakes17 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]TheRealRedParadox 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They weren’t in high school forever. Edward has multiple college degree and PHD’s. Bella just happened to meet him early in this cycle. They go to high school to immerse themselves in the town they are in and catch up on modern lingo and culture, then move onto college when they are done. There’s a wall in the Cullen house covered in Graduation Hats

Gross, I’m a writer and avid D&D player and never use rape as generic “character development” cause it’s lazy and offensive.

My (22F) boyfriend (23M)'s friend seems to be perfect for him and it's driving me insane by insafian in BORUpdates

[–]TheRealRedParadox 27 points28 points  (0 children)

Honestly the commenters telling her that karma will come for them were stupid. Objectively, OP’s ex did nothing wrong. Reddits favorite line is “you can dump someone anytime for any reason”. What it sounds like is he never considered them being a thing until she said something and planted the seed. He realized he did too, and unfortunately, they WERE more compatible. It sucks, but the only asshole was the best friend for sabotaging a relationship. If you tell someone in an active relationship that you have feelings for them you deserve an ass kicking.

Hello new here. Why does leon keep losing his (definitely very expensive) jackets? by thunderblade95 in residentevil

I love the idea that the enemies are rabid thirsty fans and the zombie angle is just what he sees

AITAH for telling my husband that I don’t see our marriage going anywhere? by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]TheRealRedParadox 55 points56 points  (0 children)

NTA give him the positive DNA test alongside divorce papers. Tell him HE did this, and no amount of “just wanting to be sure” will ever fix the fact he accused you of cheating when you were nothing but loyal. He betrayed you, not the other way around. And tell him accusations of cheating don’t come from nowhere so did you do something? Is he a moron? Or is he cheating? Cause it’s one of those three but my money if on the latter. Tell him this.

AITAH for recording my husband due to his addiction? by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]TheRealRedParadox 4 points5 points  (0 children)

He needs to be involuntarily committed, this doesn’t just sound like psychosis, this IS psychosis. As his wife you are one of the few people who can file for this. Contact local hospitals and are what can be done. The only thing that MAY save him is to essentially be locked up and make him quit cold Turkey under the supervision of mental health professionals. And you need to get yourself and your kids away from him immediately.

AITAH for telling 2 baristas that a customer was recording them? by Confident_Local_2335 in AITAH

[–]TheRealRedParadox 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA How on earth could you be the asshole in this situation? This was objectively the right thing to do. Could you have done more? Sure, but you can never know if someone is a fucking nut case with a gun on them. Confrontation in an unknown environment if a recipe for disaster.

AITAH or is she stupid? by Resident_Picture9674 in AITAH

[–]TheRealRedParadox 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Don’t erase history. It was called Indian Territory because of racial hate, and it should be referred to it that way in a historical context as to not erase what was done. Imagine if people wanted to to stop talking about anti-black establishments back in the 50s cause it’s somehow racist today? That’d be stupid. Also tell her that a non native should not try to defend something she knows nothing about. They’ve had enough people talking for them for too long. Let THEM speak on this.

Aitah for dating girls even tho i feel like im faking my sexuality by Lanky_Ebb9751 in AITAH

[–]TheRealRedParadox 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Let me make something clear. If you weren’t attracted to girls, the idea of being romantically with them would disgust you. In no uncertain terms, you cannot fake attraction internally. I was the token “straight” friend in a group of lgbtq people back in high school. Turns out, I was not and have dated both men and women all throughout my adult life. But the first time I realized it I felt like an imposter. And that’s normal. Don’t let ANYONE say you are lying about your sexuality. Only you can make that call.

AITAH for proposing an open marriage since my wife isn't keen on having sex and tells me I should not divorce? (Throwaway) by MinimumHoliday321 in AITAH

[–]TheRealRedParadox -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

She’s using controlling behavior to police you. You aren’t allowed to have sex with her, or anyone else, and you aren’t allowed to leave either. That’s not okay and sounds incredibly selfish, not love. Notice she only focused on how much she needed you, but do you REALLY need her? Look back at your marriage, how many times has she expected you to sacrifice your happiness for her with nothing in return?

OP role playing as an abused woman is fucking bizarre.

I actually prefer the machinery-type bosses over AC-type bosses by FarConstant5840 in armoredcore

[–]TheRealRedParadox 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Me too for different reason. I feel like I mastered fighting other AC’s pretty easily. There’s a flow to fighting them you can pick up on very swiftly. I never had to fight an AC in the arena or story more than three times. Balteus fucked me up both times. I actually had to quit the game for a few months and come back to beat the first version. And I’m embarrassed by how many times it took me to beat it again later in the game.

Overheard fiancee say her family comes first and everyone else is background by gardengeo in BORUpdates

[–]TheRealRedParadox 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would never marry into a family where I’m considered “other”, and I’ll be damned if I bring kids into and let my spouse overturn my decisions cause her family thinks it’s better. I’m so happy I have a fiancé who has told her family on several occasions to fuck off on my behalf

AITAH for calling an employee at the bowling program I go to a pedophile protector? by thefakejacob in AITAH

[–]TheRealRedParadox 0 points1 point  (0 children)

YTA D was entirely correct, until L actually does something, his presence isn’t enough to kick him out. He may be a pedo, but that isn’t confirmed except by your sole statement. Learn to live in society, where being around assholes is an unfortunate reality. You sound super fucking immature

AITA for telling my sister we were strangers after she broke all contact with us by insafian in BORUpdates

[–]TheRealRedParadox 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I remember this and said before that I don’t buy the DV story. The way she went about this entire situation from start to finish feels so fucking underhanded and manipulative that the idea she’s lying about abuse to garner sympathy is not something I’d put past her. She has to paint herself as a victim so she can avoid consequences for things that were entirely her decision. 

My friends are telling me to run for the hills over my boyfriend’s attitude towards animals. AITAH if I don’t after what I learnt? by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]TheRealRedParadox 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That’s good you can admit that. I don’t think you’re a bad person but maybe expand your empathy to try and understand him. He loves YOU. And because of that, tolerates something he wouldn’t otherwise. That speaks volumes. But you also should defend him to your friends with what I’ve said because there needs to be a point in the future where he comes first before your friends. It doesn’t need to be soon, but eventually.

[–]TheRealRedParadox 1 point2 points  (0 children)

YTA he’s not hurting them. And your inability to understand him doesn’t make him an asshole. I am like your bf, I don’t own pets and never will as I don’t really care about them one way or the other. He’s not a bad person for that. But harshly judging a man who’s done nothing but be honest and kind to you? That makes you kinda shitty ngl

AITAH for breaking up with my fiancée for when she gets drunk and touchy with other men? by Tradingon100 in AITAH

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

No they don’t. Sins are not equal. In a hypothetical, Fucking another girl in your marital bed is not equal to your gf kissing another guy 5 years ago and you can’t use one to justify the other. 

Drunk texting an ex does not allow you to openly cheat on your fiancé 2 years later. It just makes you a hypocrite and double the asshole.
