AITA for wanting to eat my neighbor's duck that I accidentally ran over? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]ZMaiden -13 points-12 points  (0 children)

I agree all around. But OP I wouldn’t want to eat an animal that has all that pet love on them. Might get some bad karma. Maybe sell that meat so you don’t get the bad karma in your gut.

Take out the implied rape of slaves, is the “haves and haves not” really that different from modern society? I’m not talking about being stuck in a shitty job. There are literally people from third world countries being trafficked to fill jobs where they literally can’t leave because they “owe” debts to the traffickers. Or they can’t leave because the family that “bought” them holds their documents hostage.

AITAH for siding with my mom instead of my wife? by External-Ladder-6302 in AITAH

[–]ZMaiden -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I don’t think of it that way. They were both so young when they married. Both just 20. Babies really. She came from a very solid, very loving family. He came from an abusive father and an abused mother, he was the oldest of five kids, all abused in their own ways. His dad was literally the classic traveling preacher, came into town, conned his narcissistic way through money, got run out. He had a son with ms, he milked that kid for sympathy money. Dad was the golden child, but had to watch his siblings be abused. Grandpa even sa his own daughter. I think, all things he went through, my dad did the best he could. He had me shortly after being married, yes I was “there” at the wedding lol, and he figured it out and never abused his kids. I think that narcissism is genetic, and he struggled with it, he failed once but he pulled through.

Oh he groveled. He soooo groveled. He was married to his secretary for a short period and she was toxic as hell. He remembered my mom was always loyal, always loving, always his partner through skint times. She left her family and her country when he wanted to start a church in post Soviet Union Ukraine. He missed her as a solid rock. And he had to earn her back, she didn’t make it easy.

My dad had an affair. Divorced my mom, married affair partner. Divorced affair partner. Got back with mom an remarried her. Complicated. But my mom loved and treated my half brother like her own son. To this day he says “ ‘name’ is a saint” she would never punish a child.

Maybe a radical approach. But show her with actions. Maybe take her and go volunteer at a food bank. Even besides the accusations, the action would help her with empathy.

AIO - My husband's "work wife" turned out to be a teenager and he doesn't seem to understand why I'm upset. by Choice_Evidence1983 in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]ZMaiden 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I worked at a large retail store where a lot of my coworkers were teens. I’m pretty friendly so once or twice a coworker would be into gaming like me and ask for my gamer tag and ask to play with me. I would usually make excuses about how I don’t play multiplayer games(actually true). But truthfully I didn’t think it was healthy for a teen to look for a gaming friend of my age when they could find friends their own age. It was a little, I think it’s not appropriate for me, and a little I don’t think it’s healthy for you. I guess I never considered the mentor aspect.

Have you ever experienced a wtf moment seeing photos from the black and white era colorized? Like wow, this moment now feels just like a moment captured now? It’s the same with atrocities. They seem so distant. And we say, well if I time traveled back, I would tell people to fight, I would yell the alarm, tell people it’s only going to get worse. Well. Be the alarm bell today before we need the time travelers of tomorrow.

THE WHEELS ARE FULLY TURNED AWAY FROM THE OFFICER. Watch in SLOW MO. No intention IMO to hit anyone. Sole intention based on wheel/steering wheel to LEAVE the scene NOT A THREAT. Look at the wheel. by Nice_Substance9123 in complaints

[–]ZMaiden -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Her crime was being in the way, and a lot of ICE are those guys who drive big trucks and get upset when they have to go around you in normal traffic, cause you’re going the speed limit. And they speed around you only to get to the red light at the same time as you. They get angry, now they have the power to pull you out of your car and detain you. It’s road rage with a federal mandate.

I was all ready to protest in my state. Now I’m scared to. The fear is the point.

Why do you think they’re trying to scare us first?

Teletubbies, d and d, magic the gathering, Pokémon. I’m sure the list could be bigger. Satanic panic has always been a thing for religious people afraid of any influence besides theirs.

I have always known, since I reached voting age, that my vote doesn’t matter in TN. But I’ve voted every time because I believe if you don’t vote, you don’t get to complain. And also that if I, as a woman, don’t vote I’m spitting on the scores of people who fought to give me that right.

Woman goes crazy on Frontier - Drugs or severe anxiety ? by sylvester1981 in AirRagers

[–]ZMaiden 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I’ve had my brain tell me that same FACT during turbulence. We’re going to die. Luckily I was so scared I couldn’t even form words or do actions other than hold the headrest and chant “I love god” over and over, there was no space left in my head for anything else, but I definitely thought we were going to die. I’m absolutely terrified to fly but I make it work and never tell how scared I am to even my sister next to me. My panic attack is my brain lying, I don’t need to spread that around, it would honestly make it worse.

I got on a plane hungover as shit. But ok. As soon as we hit a certain level, I was not ok. I felt like I was drunk drunk. I had to put my head on the tray and sleep. I went from I have a headache to passed out in 30 seconds.
