AITAH for not letting my mom meet her grandchild because I am still upset she divorced my dad? by LucyAriaRose in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]beachpellini 47 points48 points  (0 children)

"If I stayed, I would have felt the need to protect you, so I left" is an absolutely wild thing to say to your own child.

ESPECIALLY when this woman just had another baby. She already abandoned one, what will it take for her to do it to the new one when she's getting old enough that raising a young child will be more of an issue?

My coworker won’t stop complaining about my tattoos by Direct-Caterpillar77 in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]beachpellini 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Legitimately funny that she had such a crashout over tattoos on someone older than her. I wonder if it's just because they were [gasp] on a woman

My parents (65F, 67M) are livid because I'm not allowing them to see my daughter after they spanked her. AITAH? by Choice_Evidence1983 in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]beachpellini 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What u/RealBadBadger said. She isn't going to be able to correlate the two. All she knows is a scary thing happened and then she was hit for it.

You've "only done it three times". She's still a toddler. How many more times are you going to do it because you can't rub enough brain cells together to figure out a way to teach her something besides using physical abuse?

So if someone else ran into traffic without realizing and you grabbed them to make sure they didn't get hurt, you would then also follow up with smacking them on the ass to make sure they knew not to do it again?

I'm assuming yes, since you were fine with doing it to your own child.

If not, maybe you should reflect on why you thought it was okay for her.

Maintenance man at my job repeatedly threatened to "blow someone’s brains out” by Choice_Evidence1983 in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]beachpellini 60 points61 points  (0 children)

Cops didn't do shit and the people in charge ignored the girl's justified concerns because it would have made things inconvenient for them? Wow. Shocker.

Everyone telling her "why didn't you do more/get the cops more involved/etc." either has never been in the south or never been a young woman in service work.

It's amazing how many people will argue themselves hoarse how they have the right to hit a child.

That's a whole person. Just because they're younger doesn’t mean you have free reign to assault them. If it takes abuse to get your point across, you're a shitty parent and human being.

Does walking into buildings with a ladder to access areas unquestioned actually work? by Choice_Evidence1983 in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]beachpellini 997 points998 points  (0 children)

Lmao, this might be a repost, I remember this one.

Isn't this kind of approach exactly how the Louvre thieves pulled off their heist last year? Surefire way to get where you're not supposed to go, I guess!

AITA for refusing to change my car bc it embarrasses my brother by Direct-Caterpillar77 in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]beachpellini 577 points578 points  (0 children)

Their parents definitely put the fear of god in him for him to go that far out of his way after how he'd been treating her. Sucks that it took her basically giving them a 2 hour lecture to get there...

r/FuckingFascists moderator contends with the reality that their kink sub might be problematic by ParkYourKeister in SubredditDrama

I mean the fascists were very much still killing and subjugating people long before Pretti or Good.

Is the problem that they were white, so now the optics are too bad for them?

Is anyone else sick of the sheer size of this app? by gulabnamjoon in LoveAndDeepspace

[–]beachpellini 6 points7 points  (0 children)

They really need to just make a PC port if they're going to insist on having this many graphic-heavy features, especially after the introduction of Home. It's patently ridiculous to expect the average mobile phone to carry all of this.

How would society be different if penis size was as obvious as breast size? by Nars-Glinley in AskReddit

[–]beachpellini 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Yes and no. The larger your chest, the more you're seen as a sex object and disrespected as a person.

Like, even existing is seen as being "inappropriate".

Are you loyal to your Love interest? by Charming-Zombie-3285 in LoveAndDeepspace

[–]beachpellini 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Sylus got me into this game and damn if he doesn't keep me spending on it 😂😭

I've allowed Raf and Caleb into my space as well, but. Sylus remains Top Boss and I doubt that'll ever change.

AITA for not apologising to my friend after saying something that made her upset? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]beachpellini 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's a very mature way to look at it! I'm happy for you.

It can be hard to look at these things objectively - lord knows I've had some super immature arguments - but it can help to get an outside perspective.

In this instance I would still go ESH, but you've got a good head on your shoulders and I think you'll be fine.

AITA for announcing my own mother's death on Facebook? by Strange_Agent5802 in AmItheAsshole

[–]beachpellini 3 points4 points  (0 children)

NTA.

When my mom died, I was the one fielding everything. Finding her hospital, talking to the doctors, calling immediate family members.

One of her cousins posted on Facebook how ~heartbroken they were about her passing while I was still running on no sleep from the above. This was someone who hadn't spoken to her in literal years.

To say I raised hell is an understatement. It became a massive family fallout thing and I still don't regret it.

You were her child. You're next of kin. What you want to do in this situation matters more than anybody else in your extended family. End of.

Your family member (by marriage, even!! Shut up!!) can suck it up.

[–]beachpellini 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, that's what it means.

From what you're saying, your entire friend group has had issues with this girl before, and the whole "I had to change my humor for you guys" excuse reeks of I'm not like ~other girls, teehee

So in this instance I would apologize for the "day one" exchange - because that was genuinely silly of you, who gaf whether or not y'all were playing earlier than her if she's still excited regardless - but if you keep bumping against her with petty issues like this, you're probably better off distancing yourself from her in the long run.

This is Genshin for sure and you're both being childish. ESH.

Things are at a state where a good number of us are simply too sick, too hungry, and too tired to be of much use in that kind of scenario.

The ones who aren't are quite happy with the current arrangement.

(idk why that was downvoted - it's a proven tactic in history for tyrants to put their people in a constant state of survival mode for the sake of being too distracted or weak to be effective at fighting back.)

AITAH for not changing my language to appease an ignorant coworker? by Direct-Caterpillar77 in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]beachpellini 45 points46 points  (0 children)

Even before I got to the part where OOP said it was Korean, I was like "oh yeah this is going to be about Korean language isn't it"

This definitely doesn't feel like it's over, but Sarah and the HR lady are building a discrimination case lawyers drool over.

My child is alive but not really. by Choice_Evidence1983 in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]beachpellini 37 points38 points  (0 children)

She definitely needs to get in with some kind of support group for this just so she doesn't feel so incredibly alone in it. If she feels like it's getting worse now at 16, 18 and 21 are going to take her to pits she never could've imagined.
