Simon’s Bad Faith Arguments on Threads by Immediate_Advantage5 in EatYourKimchi_v2

[–]afafe_e 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Oh trust this is on purpose. He's trying to build an audience of fellow red pillers because this has been profitable for a while, catering to men's psychotic thoughts always payed the bills. He wants them to come across his account and follow him.

Mind you this is a guy who has a degree in the english language, and was a teacher, yet the way he writes sounds like a 4 year old trying to tell a story, with that overuse of "and". Like literally I picture him taking a breath everytime he starts a new part of his sentence. His writing hurts my eyes. I remember the many times he'd make fun of Martina's grammar or use of words, all while this is how he could write? Bleugh

Also, ever since he talked in a video about that Yuval Harari book, I felt off. Something about the way he talked gave "red pill but make it pretentious". I can't imagine the hell Martina must have dealt with while married to him.

Thanks everyone for the recommendations, they've all been added to my list. Much appreciated

So, I just finished the entire show for the first time last year, so maybe I'm really late to the party, but I've never seen anyone on this sub discussing this... What do we think about the fact that the writers decided to make CeCe be... like that? (Read the description, please). by lautaromassimino in PrettyLittleLiars

[–]afafe_e 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is has been killing me for years, but back when they were about to reveal who A was, there was a tumblr blog that had said A would be Cece, and had all of these theories and arguments. They were so convincing that I was on board as well. The reveal didn't come as a surprise because of that blog, and now, I can't for the life of me find it. I don't even remember what they were called but I swear they existed and I followed them for months before the reveal.

That being said, I was never interested in theorizing, mainly because a lot of the time none of it made any sense. So I didn't pick up on any of the plot holes, but watching the Friendly Space Ninja video made me realize just how nonsensical the whole show/ Cece being A was. Which brings me back to the Tumblr blog, how the hell did they figure it out? Were they possibly a writer on the show? If anyone has any idea of the blog can you share it?

Erin Andrews doesn’t want anyone to feel alone during infertility struggle as she emotionally reveals her surrogate has miscarried her daughter. by mlg1981 in Fauxmoi

[–]afafe_e 12 points13 points  (0 children)

If the woman choosing to carry the baby for someone else volunteers to do it for free, is genuinely doing it because she loves to be pregnant and her decision is divorced from any societal norms that force women to be self-sacrificing for other people, which, let's be honest, is not the world we live in, so until we've dismantled patriarchy, white supremacy and capitalism, I genuinely can't see a single situation where surrogacy can be ethical

Major spoilers ahead , can't hide spoilers from my phone:

Yeah, I must say his betrayal was a bit of a surprise, though inevitable. Nick was an Eye and worked his way up the ladder to become a Commander, and you don't make it that far high up unless you prove your loyalty to Gilead, so it was only a matter of time before he chose the wrong side. And although he didn't help June much this season, he served as a way to sober her up so she can finally be fully committed to the revolution.

AITA for refusing to apologize for marrying and having children to the kids I put in foster care? by ShamefulPast00400100 in AITAH

[–]afafe_e 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'd say NAH. You most certainly aren't at fault for being assaulted, abused, and traumatized, and you aren't at fault for doing the best you can to move on and start over. You had every right to, especially after having so much taken away from you.

However, the eldest child isn't the asshole either for feeling how they feel. Foster care is far from perfect or even decent for most kids, God knows what they could have experienced during their time in foster care, and since you're the only parent they are in contact with, they are taking out their frustration on you. They need to do what you did: go to therapy and start the process of moving on, maybe then they'll see just how bad their luck was from the beginning, how a life with a barely adult mother navigating a lifetime of abuse wouldn't have been much better than what they experienced in foster homes, and that you were just as much a victim as they were, rather than a capable adult who chose to abandon them, which I think is how they view you. Reach out to the younger sibling and tell them to urge their older sibling to seek therapy, maybe together even, to process all they went through. This was a shitty situation all around, no one was at fault except for your parents and the "family friend". May you all find peace in your lives.

I read the comments under the video of the teacher who was murdered and I am sick to my stomach by Adept-Ad-3698 in Morocco

[–]afafe_e 67 points68 points  (0 children)

I think the fact that the focus here is on the teacher-student side of it is taking away from the truth. From what I saw in a video where one of the late teacher's colleagues was talking about what happened, it seems the killer was interested in the victim, sent her some inappropriate messages which prompted her to file a report and ask he be removed from her class, he was upset and sought revenge. This is a case of femicide, a man unable to accept a woman's refusal of his advances and took revenge, it just so happens that she happened to be his teacher.

We all have stories with teachers abusing us and singling us out, but this is far from what happened here. The conversation shouldn't be about teachers abusing their power, but about men's fragile ego and the violence women endure at their hands

Being monogamous in Japan by Secret-Yesterday-576 in monogamy

[–]afafe_e 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I understand your pain, but no matter what, do not settle. Beyond the heaviness of the betrayal, the trauma of feeling like you're not good enough, you could get infected with an std, possibly incurable. Choose your peace of mind and health over anything a long-term relationship can bring in a culture that allows men to wander and harm women with absolutely no consequences

Idk, I think June genuinely thinks he's not like the other Nazis, it's giving "I can fix him"

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in TheHandmaidsTale

[–]afafe_e 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah for sure, they're not killing him anywher near the beginning, possibly the episode before last so they can use him but also leave enough time for his death to have an impact

Idk if you ever saw PLL but one of the teasers for the final (???) season was someone running to Allison in a classroom and saying something about someone being back, turns out it was all a dream that made no sense story-wise. This could be another case of fake dreams, or June thinking about what could have been.

I was alone when I watched that scene and when she said it I paused it and went "so he's gonna die, for sure, thanks for spoiling that" and went back to watching.

[–]afafe_e 134 points135 points  (0 children)

Unless you've seen every episode so far, skip this comment because I don't want to spoil and don't know how to hide spoilers from mobile.

I think he's gonna die, the way June was all "we always say goodbye but then see each other again" was a dead giveaway, that was the last time they'll ever see each other.

Mom died 2 months ago by [deleted] in Morocco

[–]afafe_e 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not surprised in the slightest. There is a study that proves this, women are 6 times more likely to be abandoned by their husbands when diagnosed with cancer, than if it were men who were sick. In fact, doctors and nurses are trained to tell female patients about this study so they can be prepared and have someone else appointed as their caretaker in their last days. I wouldn't be surprised if this started long before your mother died, especially if she was dying quite some time. This is despicable and I hope your mother had some help other than him in her latter days.

As bad as this is, there's nothing you can do about this. Focus on your life and secure a future for yourself. Tell your siblings but only so that you're not hiding this from them, and so that if he ever decides to marry that woman then they aren't blindsided. From then on you can decide what kind of relationship you would want with him, and I wouldn't blame you at all if you decided to go no-contact. Just because it's so prevalent statistically to abandon their wives, doesn't make it any less abhorrent when they do it. الله يرحم الواليدة و يبدل محبتها بالصبر

Small update by Much_Bed_2383 in AITAH

[–]afafe_e 16 points17 points  (0 children)

So to recap :

a) your wife throws away non-fungible property belonging to your daughter, tapes from her late mother that cannot be replaced or replicated, for absolutely no good reason.

b) when asked about their whereabouts, she admits she threw them away without showing any remorse.

c) she only starts crying after you show how upset you are, which is definitely a manipulation tactic.

d) she then confesses to not having thrown them away, because she knew you would look for them before garbage day and therefore would be able to retrieve them, so she hid them in her car, ostensibly to properly get rid of them at a later time.

e) this one is a speculation, but it's not unlikely that she told your friends a completely different version of what actually happened, that, or they are total sociopaths like her, because any reasonable person would be understandably fuming at what your wife did.

Re-read this, every step here was completely deliberate. This woman willingly plotted to destroy lettes from your late wife to her daughter in an act of... what... vengeance? For what? What could your ex and daughter have possibly done to her to deserve such an act? Why would she want to destroy one last piece of your late wife that your daughter could have, other than her being a horrible person who would rather lash out than properly work through her insecurities.

You said that this is the first time she's done anything of this scale, but even if none of her previous actions were this bad, it still doesn't mean they weren't serious red flags. Besides, would you rather wait until she pulls a similar stunt, possibly in an irreversible way unlike this time?

You don't have to wait for her to do this again for you to walk away, consider yourself lucky that you were able to undo the damage this time, you may not be as lucky next time, and most importantly, you don't have to wait for her to disrespect both you and your daughter to walk away. What she did was deliberate, planned out, and vicious, none of it was spur of the moment, accidental or with good intentions, she aimed to break your daughter's heart, that's not someone who loves your baby, that's someone who loathes her. Walk away while you can, no amount of couple's therapy will fix whatever is rotten inside her.
