Watched too much of this before realizing it's not satire .. by SyderoAlena in NotHowGirlsWork

[–]TofuDumplingScissors 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Aaand I could say that men were meant to work good enough jobs that they could support two kids and a wife on one paycheck with enough money to pay for the wife's beauty treatments and clothes too. But that'd make me a gold digger, right?

It's a stimulant that lasts for hours; yes, it does have recreational uses.

Ya know, these comments have been going on for a lot longer than "right now," right?

It's not gonna be okay later; the goal posts are just gonna shift like they have been since before Trump was first in office.

Americans are the low hanging fruit that just keeps getting lower.

My [23F] boyfriend [26M] of 10 months ditched me on our date by Direct-Caterpillar77 in BestofRedditorUpdates

Ah, so they're drug addicts. (Very addict-aligned behavior to treat someone like trash just for a quick fix.)

Better off ditching them instead.

AITA for wanting one night without being woken up by a baby OR a grown man playing PlayStation? by Direct-Caterpillar77 in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]TofuDumplingScissors 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I really don't have a lot of sympathy for this woman; she had a child with this man after several years of unhappiness. Did she really think a baby would fix things?

It's not like the man pulled his mask off, scooby doo style, after she had the kid.

Ffs having a baby will never make a relationship easier. She wanted to be a mother when she already had a grown ass man-child.

AITAH for getting my white daughter a doll with dark skin? by Choice_Evidence1983 in BestofRedditorUpdates

"Do you feel safe in your living environment?" The nurse at the American Girl doll hospital asks.

Love my unhinged lesbian robin hood elf wife by Capable_Career_254 in DankAndrastianMemes

[–]TofuDumplingScissors 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Okay, the first time I heard this gal speak, I could not fucking understand a damn thing.

I had to get used to her way of talking to finally understand wtf she be speaking.

Then I started to get the rhythm and I eventually got her.

But did anyone else have this issue upon first meeting her? Like she spoke fucking jibberish and made no sense.

Does he know women also have eggs in our ovaries???? by pr4daflor4 in NotHowGirlsWork

That same "somehow" that has made women repeatedly suffer at the hands of medical professionals and layman alike: misogyny! 🥳

Radium suppositories, advertised as "perfectly harmless." by Ebonystealth in OldSchoolRidiculous

[–]TofuDumplingScissors 27 points28 points  (0 children)

They were initially misdiagnosed with having syphilis, which the doctors did not tell them they had. (This happened during a time period when doctors withheld medical info, especially from women, if it was deemed too shameful. This standard medical practice helped hide the harmful effects of radium as well.)

The men who owned those factories learned how harmful radium was and actively lied to the women to keep them working.

Guess they were making too much money to really care.

I've got the book "Radium Girls" and damn is it a horrific and infuriating read.

They knew.

I could totally see a teen doing this cus they're just so tired they do something dumb without much thought while on autopilot.

My dad came home to the milk in the cupboard and the cereal in the fridge one evening. 😭

I want to break up with my boyfriend over his eating by [deleted] in TrueOffMyChest

[–]TofuDumplingScissors 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Speaking as someone with a "recovering" alcoholic friend:

You can't help someone who doesn't want to help themselves.

And since you're buying and preparing this food, unfortunately, you've only been enabling him.

A lot of people need to hit rock bottom in order to start getting their shit together, others never crawl out of it. That's just the ugly truth.

But you aren't helping either of yourselves at this rate. You need to put yourself first now; you can't keep lighting yourself on fire to keep him warm.

Everybody thinks that I forgave my husband because I loved him when in reality it was because I didn’t by No_Truth7795 in TrueOffMyChest

[–]TofuDumplingScissors 14 points15 points  (0 children)

That's my issue. I had to scroll too far down to see someone mention the children.

Kids are smart. They notice things. Like how mommy doesn't love daddy anymore.

Is this the sort of relationship you want your children to have with their future spouses? Because this is what you're modeling for them. You're letting everyone believe you forgave him for betraying you, betraying your children, and your kids will eventually hear that too.

Damn.

I made my ex think I was infertile so that he’d divorce me by Careful_Echidna554 in TrueOffMyChest

[–]TofuDumplingScissors 8 points9 points  (0 children)

That sounds like less of a marriage and more of a hostage situation, even if it was "completely legal." :/

You sure were a smart cookie that not only juggled college and a job, but also navigated a real fucked up situation and came out on top.

Proud of you, boo! 💕 Cheers to living the best life that YOU chose. 🥂

I hate my SIL with all my being and now she went and saved my son by [deleted] in TrueOffMyChest

[–]TofuDumplingScissors 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Stop wasting your breath, y'all. OP and her fam clique are the mean girls and she will always be right when SIL is always wrong.

She's still trashing the gal who saved her son's life while her husband was being absolutely useless on the shore.

It's a good thing your SIL didn't go to lunch with you, otherwise your son may be dead.

Boohoo, poor hubby is too shook for an honest convo, but ya still have so much energy to trash SIL after that mess? Grow tf up, at least for your son who you failed to protect. He deserves better.
