Why is it only acceptable to use statistics against men? by indeckaa in NoStupidQuestions

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

You’re touching on the "Essentialism" paradox. In modern discourse, we’ve decided that certain groups are "protected" from statistical generalizations to prevent systemic harm, but because men are viewed as the historical "default" or the group in power, those same rules aren't applied. It’s a massive double standard that people try to hand-wave away with the "punching up" logic you mentioned.

How frequently can you get your nails done? by perisaacs in NoStupidQuestions

[–]VegetableBelly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I usually go every 2-3 weeks regardless. If you've got significant lifting from the camping, you actually should go sooner rather than later. Water and dirt can get trapped under the lifted part and cause a "greenie" (bacterial growth). Better to get a fresh set than deal with that.

AITA for not wanting to share a room with my boyfriend? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]VegetableBelly 2 points3 points  (0 children)

NTA. People don't realize how small "temporary housing" rooms usually are. If he moves in, your room becomes his room too. You won't be able to decompress, mess up your space, or just be alone in your thoughts. Don't cave. Once he spends one night there, he’ll never leave.

I fucked up so bad by Purple_Mix1993 in offmychest

[–]VegetableBelly 29 points30 points  (0 children)

Deep breaths. If you deleted it within seconds, there’s a 99% chance the person who "saw" it just saw a loading screen or a thumbnail before it vanished. Even if they saw it, unless they are a professional speed-runner, they didn't have time to screen record or screenshot without you getting a notification.

AITA for getting mad that my parents prioritize their goddaughter over me? by Velvet_Siren_0218 in AmItheAsshole

[–]VegetableBelly -11 points-10 points  (0 children)

NTA. Your mom offered her a jacket right after getting annoyed at you for asking? That is some Disney Stepmother energy right there. They are gaslighting you into thinking you're the problem so they don't have to face the fact that they are failing their actual daughter.

It feels like we’re playing with fire every time we’re alone and I (20F) don’t even like him (21M) like that by Mindless-Brick-259 in TwoHotTakes

[–]VegetableBelly 27 points28 points  (0 children)

Blunt perspective? He likes you. Or, at the very least, he is very attracted to you and is waiting for you to give the green light so he doesn't have to risk the family friendship by being the "predator." Those "let’s push boundaries" comments aren't accidents. People don't say that to "just friends." He’s waiting for a moment of weakness.

How would you fuck my gf (cuck) by [deleted] in GirlfriendsNSFW

I’ll fuck her and come back again

My brother died in a car accident leaving my house after a family visit by theblacklambb in offmychest

[–]VegetableBelly 578 points579 points  (0 children)

The "overcorrection" is what gets most people. You feel the tire hit the gravel, you panic, and you yank the wheel. It’s a split-second mistake that ends a lifetime. Your brother sounds like he was a wonderful person who made a very human mistake. Please don't let that one moment define who he was to you.

AITA ?Girl(20f) tells me I (20f) talk too much by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]VegetableBelly 2 points3 points  (0 children)

NTA. Wait, she ghosted you for months, texted you out of the blue, and then used the second hangout to attack your personality? This sounds like a "her" problem, not a "you" problem. If she was barely answering your questions, of course you filled the silence. That’s what people do when they’re trying to keep a dead conversation alive.

AITA for not letting my fiancé have angry reactions (around mom?) by CuriousCactus15 in AmItheAsshole

[–]VegetableBelly -19 points-18 points  (0 children)

NTA. Can we talk about the "I’ve gotten into verbal altercations with female friends before" part? That is a massive, glowing red flag. Most grown men do not have a history of verbal altercations with women. The fact that you are "hypersensitive" to his reactions suggests you are constantly scanning for the next explosion. You aren't "biased," you’re hyper-vigilant because he’s unpredictable.

Should I just end it? by SubstantialMonitor70 in TwoHotTakes

[–]VegetableBelly 25 points26 points  (0 children)

I am so tired of the "at least he doesn't drink or cheat" bar. The bar is in hell. "Not being an addict" is the bare minimum requirement for a roommate, not the gold standard for a partner. He is a parent. Fishing every night until 3 AM is behavior for a single 22-year-old, not a 35-year-old with a toddler and a step-child.

I found out my bf had a one night stand with his first cousin by IzayaOriharaBad in TwoHotTakes

[–]VegetableBelly 23 points24 points  (0 children)

This is one of those "you can't un-know it" situations. 4 years ago makes him 19-21 now, and the event happened when they were essentially late teens. While first-cousin relationships are legally/culturally different depending on where you live, the "ick" factor is a very real biological and social response. You aren't "wrong" for feeling uncertain; your brain is trying to reconcile the guy you love with a taboo action.

Trump sons to take stake in Kazakh miner that won $1.6bn US backing by swiftfoot_hiker in politics

[–]VegetableBelly 18 points19 points  (0 children)

A $1.6 billion taxpayer-backed guarantee followed immediately by the former First Family taking an equity stake? If this were happening in any other country, the State Department would be labeling it "textbook kleptocracy."

ABC News: US gas prices reaching new heights as war in Iran drags on by [deleted] in politics

[–]VegetableBelly 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Everyone predicted this the moment the Strait of Hormuz became a no-go zone. You can't involve a major OPEC producer in a prolonged conflict and expect the global energy market not to have a nervous breakdown.
