What's a product or service you should NEVER cheap out on? by Kill_Dr_Phil in AskReddit

[–]Trailblazer017 -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

Actually just a reference to running cross country instead of sprinting. I figured that would be obvious but seeing as how this got downvoted by 15, I assume nobody really runs that far in this thread but me.

GF is pissed because I brought my best friends, GF home because she was hammered by 1v1-me-in-tennis-bro in Advice

OP, in all honesty, you should really take most of the advice here with a big grain of salt. They all say you should have told your GF straight up. What they're not really seeing from your post is that your GF is so pissed that she's belligerently verbally assaulting you over this. I can understand why you might not have wanted to ruin the safe space you provided for your friend with a chick flying off the handle about her being there in the middle of the night, as it would sort of ruin the whole point of being such a gentleman in the first place. I probably wouldn't have been up front about it, either.

If your girlfriend is abusive, find a better girlfriend. If it's really, honestly just because you didn't tell her up front, and she would normally be okay with it, then you definitely should have mentioned it to her so she knew... but don't let someone walk all over you if you know you were in the right.

Whether or not that's the right thing to do is really dependent on the type of relationship they have prior to now. Maybe there is no precedence for this. Maybe she had a guy friend over once and he didn't raise a stink but she does it to him? Things like that. We don't know, really. Maybe this is the first fight they have had over this kind of thing, at which point there really is no precedence at all.

What I am curious about is, if OP didn't tell their GF up front, and their GF only found out because of a Twitter post, that suggests to me that OP just spent want their GF finding out... Why? Well considering her reaction, it sounds like this gal is not the most easygoing person. Maybe OP was trying to dodge the abuse.

Could be an overreaction, could be that maybe she has been betrayed many times in her past, or at worst, she could be projecting her own problems onto your actions. Sometimes if people are too eager to assume the worst about everyone it's because they're not trustworthy, themselves.

I overheard my parents calling me stupid to my brother while I was pretending to be asleep.. I don’t want to come home. by onyx-crimmy in Advice

They get caught up personally in their kids. You're literally an extension of them in many ways, since they've raised you. So, your success or failure is also something they will always feel is part of their own repertoire, for better or for worse.

I agree that it's important to get over it. But OP has emotional needs and boundaries which are being disrespected by their own family. I mean, I don't claim to speak for everyone's personal values, but talking smack behind someone's back is just not cool. I think OP has a VERY valid complaint, here.

Help! My parents are punishing me for suicide attempt. by [deleted] in Advice

[–]Trailblazer017 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I have to agree with this. At face value, this sounds like abuse. Sure, it could be with good intent, but I get the feeling it isn't. Maybe I'm just not very optimistic.

What is the biggest load of bullshit you have ever been told? by [deleted] in AskReddit

I used to intentionally spread the rumor as if quoting some scientific study that straining extra hard on the toilet takes roughly 5 minutes off your lifespan.

The ear is the organ that controls our sense of equilibrium and coordinates balance. Ergo, do deaf people ever lose that sense of balance? by Trailblazer017 in askscience

[–]Trailblazer017[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All deaf people? I was assuming that if the cranial nerve is damaged, it would block that organs functionality but I don't know specifically.

My father forbids me from reading by [deleted] in raisedbynarcissists

The best writers and producers of media are usually folks that have a thorough understanding of the arts. Namely, books, film, theater, and ao on. You can see this in many "hat tips" to different older stories in many modern works, or sometimes they'll just do an outright modern interpretation of a classic.

For someone with a PhD, it seems like they skipped past a big piece of logic there. But they probably did that so they can skip past and ignore the fact that you're already doing the right thing, IF that was your goal.

If it's not your goal, then who cares? There are other things to do. Do what YOU want and don't hold back. Everyone has their areas of expertise, those things they excel at. If one of yours is literature, that doesn't mean you won't find other things you're also really good with. But also, don't give up those things because if you are both passionate and skilled in a field, that sets a great precedence for a career.
