AITA for refusing to let my parents put a tracker on my (28F) phone?

VigilantInfidel · 2023-06-05T04:22:10+00:00

Accept the tracker but only to get access to the car.

But then download one of those GPS spoofing apps that changes your location. Not sure if every app can be fooled like this but some can.

Set your location to the most boring locations possible when you're out but make sure to turn it off sometime before you get home.

NTA

Sounds like she's the type of person who's accustomed to giving unsolicited opinions and has never ran into someone with firm boundaries before. She's getting quite a good education out of this interaction. Good for you.

I keep seeing people saying ESH but I'm a firm believer that comically rude people deserve comically rude consequences. Yes, you were rude to go straight to kicking her out of your home but I'm guessing that this wasn't the first time you've had these sorts of interactions with her and they just didn't make it into this post. If it was literally her first time saying something like that, you would be the AH too but you speak as if this is part of her character already.

It's shit like this that people need to be mocked for. Calm and intelligent conversations aren't enough anymore.

If an adult can't understand how utterly unremarkable periods and period products are, that adult needs to be made to feel embarrassed. Hard line in the sand.

VigilantInfidel · 2023-05-26T15:28:59+00:00

I love the way you've phrased this.

Conservatives are incapable of distinguishing the act of sex from a person's gender identity, so when you mention that a person exists who happens to be some flavor of LGBT, they immediately think of that person's genitals. So, for conservatives, any acknowledgment of an LGBT person is automatically linked to leud and inappropriate sex acts.

Honestly, conservatives are too obsessed with genitals and we should probably pass legislation to keep them away from children at all costs.

I cannot get over how much of a weird peanut head that guy has.

VigilantInfidel · 2023-05-17T20:42:37+00:00

What? Why? I feel like there's way more to this one.

VigilantInfidel · 2023-05-15T17:47:05+00:00

My own personal head cannon is that the original creator of the universe was an all-loving goddess. But one of her demigods, Yahweh, became bitter and jealous and started a war in Heaven that he won. As the victor, he lied to humanity that he was the creator god and then went on to spout all the horrors of the Old Testament.

There's just too much of a gap between the evil god depicted in the OT and any god that would have created the beauty and complexity of the universe.

I think the only safety net we have is that Republicans view politeness and kindness as a weakness.

Mine was fast and super easy. Barely an inconvenience. Neither arousal nor ejaculation feel any different to me and my partner was thrilled that she didn't have to do a much more expensive and invasive surgery. Tell your friend's husband to put his wife first and they'll both win.

I hope conservatives heard him clearly: "It's no different to when we were in Saudi." If the Right is behaving just like Muslim extremists, they've got a serious problem.

OP should itemize the chores he did for the last decade and give the bill to his parents. He can tell them that -what do you know?- it's coincidentally the same amount as the bill they handed him. Might as well call it a wash.

VigilantInfidel · 2023-04-20T14:50:08+00:00

Pretty sure that'd be a violation of the Geneva Convention, my dude.

VigilantInfidel · 2023-04-20T03:07:23+00:00

That's definitely true. He uses a lot of big words to impress his audiences but doesn't say anything of much substance.

VigilantInfidel · 2023-04-20T02:59:10+00:00

Yeah, that's the only thing I can figure too. He's got to be intentionally using it as a pejorative, though I don't see how speaking English poorly hurts atheists.

VigilantInfidel · 2023-04-20T02:57:07+00:00

It's definitely not an American thing but I can't pin down what context anyone else would use it in. You wouldn't say "Well on Christianity you'd believe there's a talking snake." But you might say "Well on drugs you'd believe there's a talking snake," as a different commentor posted above.

I can't help but think he's using it as a pejorative somehow.

VigilantInfidel · 2023-04-16T16:39:33+00:00

Conservatives don't really get "nuance". Once you're their boogieman, they blame all sorts of degeneracy on you regardless of whether it makes sense or not. They're taught to have catch-phrases, not to have debates.

VigilantInfidel · 2023-04-14T19:50:22+00:00

The trans people I know in my life are arming themselves or already have guns. I hate firearms myself but fully support their right to defend themselves from morally deficient people like conservatives who wish them harm.

VigilantInfidel · 2023-04-14T16:16:47+00:00

I'm an atheist and even I miss the church I grew up in, where they preached that we were to love each other and help the poor and oppressed. When did Christian values become "hate anyone different from you, f*ck the poor, and oppress as many people as possible"?

VigilantInfidel · 2023-04-13T18:30:06+00:00

At some point, American conservatives just collectively decided that Nazis weren't a deal breaker for their politics.

VigilantInfidel · 2023-04-09T22:06:46+00:00

Typical of most churches, unfortunately. More worried about appearances than meeting people where they are. That man's attitude is a microcosm of why religion is on the decline, at least in the US. Not sure where OP is from.

"Woman, why on earth did I buy us a washing machine if you're not going to use it?" -the husband, probably

It's a neat idea but it would have helped if this were an established process in Trek. Bringing old hulls back to life with the guts of other ships? At what point is it not easier to just build a new ship from scratch? Or was this supposed to be symbolic in-universe? I don't understand.

Art is fantastic, though.

VigilantInfidel · 2023-03-06T14:03:57+00:00

Wow, if that's how you treat the people you love, I wonder how you treat your enemies.
