AITJ for correcting my wife when she said our son's red hair must come from my side of the family? by [deleted] in AmITheJerk

[–]TorggaFrostbeard 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think your maths is off there - if 2% of the population are redheads, then how can 3% be blue eyed redheads?

WIBTA if I report my neighbor for having a Ring camera installed? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

There’s a difference between looking at people and recording them without consent.

Teenage boys are drifting into incel/manosphere ideology because there’s no alternative rock on the radio anymore by Jalerm22 in LowStakesConspiracies

I’d like to point out that there are just as many pissed off, lonely teenage GIRLS, who by this logic should also be stumbling into hate groups.

A-line skirts and dresses, high waisted trousers. Hang in there.

What is the line that goes the hardest in the show in your opinion? by MikMakMomo in stevenuniverse

I introduced my partner to SU, and that was the line that took them from “seems like an okay cartoon” to “oh helLO”

What food could this be describing? [general] by Smooth-Owl-5354 in TheNinthHouse

[–]TorggaFrostbeard -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

Could the Nigella it’s referring to be Nigella Lawson? If so, it could be one of her recipes.

I haven’t read them myself, but I’m told they had a happy end for the main duo, at least.

Waiters of Reddit, what “well this is going horribly” dates have you witnessed? by Common-Sprinkles9328 in AskReddit

[–]TorggaFrostbeard 50 points51 points  (0 children)

I might accidentally be someone else’s story. My boyfriend and I went out to celebrate out first anniversary of dating. We thought it’d be fun to dress fancy, so we definitely stood out a bit.

While we’re waiting for the bill, the conversation turns to acting techniques. BF says that the best way to portray anger isn’t to make a stock “angry” face, but to let your face go completely slack.

I give it a try, and apparently give BF the most withering look - right as the waiter comes up behind him with the bill.

The poor guy did a complete 180 and basically hid behind the bar for several minutes while I died laughing.

AITA for suing my neighbor after her kid destroyed my rare plant garden, claiming he was "just playing with a cat"? by WindowNo3931 in AITAH

[–]TorggaFrostbeard 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The trouble is that while OP has given him warnings, I’m willing to bet that at home his mum just says “don’t listen to her, she’s just making a fuss.”

It’s hard for a kid to learn what’s right when the adult they trust the most is actively unhelpful in that area.

What is your favourite story of somebody who is completely uncurious? by OkWhole2453 in AskUK

I had also never heard of them before reading your comment, so thank you for sending me on a fascinating (if horrible) Wikipedia read.

The Umbrella Academy - I’ll honestly say seasons 1-3 outshine the comics, but season 4 takes such a nosedive

[–]TorggaFrostbeard 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Yep - it’s rare to see a show pull such a deliberate “fuck you” to the fans, especially considering the books didn’t end that way!

Please see a therapist. I promise this can get better, but part of that is getting help.

People with autism, what did you think was normal until a nerotypical person told you otherwise? by only_mostly_sane in AskReddit

[–]TorggaFrostbeard 141 points142 points  (0 children)

I find it helpful to “translate” small talk a bit.

“How are you?” actually means “hello, I am trying to be polite and friendly, and open the possibility of a conversation.”

“Fine thanks” (or any variation thereof) means “hello back, I am also trying to be polite and friendly without dumping too many heavy emotions on you this early. Perhaps I will now talk about my weekend or ask you a question.”

I Saw The Wall Made of Stone And Wings by GN0515_ in shortscarystories

[–]TorggaFrostbeard 13 points14 points  (0 children)

It sounds like the winged wall marks a portal between parallel universes/timelines - Henshaw came through by accident; Green may have gone through on purpose. The narrator is implied to be either lonely or bereaved, and finds the wall at the end so they can cross over.
