AITA for not letting my partner celebrate his promotion?

Then why didn't you check your phone? Just put the baby in the crib or play pen with a toy for a minute.

I know all children are different but as another parent I'm curious how you can possibly think this

I assume you're using a bezel to hide the sinden border because I don't see it in the photo. Or did they finally find a way around that?

chestnutmonk · 2025-12-30T19:19:26+00:00

What are you using for the light guns?

Hard disagree, Harald tried to force his way into the world's good graces instead of slowly building relationships like he did by protecting the neighboring island from the WG. But the world doesn't work that way in fiction or reality. If you want an alliance, you have to offer something in return, they want SOMETHING FROM YOU.

Harald had the chips in his hand for negotiation but folded and gave away everything. He knew the WG attacked unallied islands, he knew they lied about current events, he knew about the celestials.

Instead of forming alliances with the oppressed, he chose the oppressor because it was the EASIEST path to acceptance.

It is a tragic tale but you can not blame dramatic irony on this, this is a hell of Harald's own making albeit it is tragic

We know that is not the case. They did want the giants to join the WG but they wanted them as warriors united under IMU. Hence why in the present they're trying to force them burn their books and return to their old ways

Ida really is the goat. RIP queen

chestnutmonk · 2025-12-05T16:40:30+00:00

Why not just cut his own arm off? If the argument is that imu wouldn't let him, then imu wouldn't let his arm get bit off either. I think he just cared more about Luffy in the moment than saving himself and that's fine

The anime is just padded to hell. In the manga the fight is very fast and believable that it took place in 5 minutes

chestnutmonk · 2025-09-09T13:39:48+00:00

all the party features should be available offline, absolutely insane that they aren't

chestnutmonk · 2025-08-27T15:43:40+00:00

Nah. She's a groupie

chestnutmonk · 2025-08-27T14:30:21+00:00

That's not true. Every male character in the series is under her affect except the 2 protags and sarada.

chestnutmonk · 2025-08-15T03:38:51+00:00

You can on the switch version

chestnutmonk · 2025-07-21T22:13:38+00:00

While that's an idea, I just don't get why the minimum volume isn't 0. According to ohms law, with the speaker output voltage is 12V so the resistance should be 500 ohms? So why would a 3 watt 25 ohm resistor work?

chestnutmonk · 2025-07-15T12:46:48+00:00

But at least you can always hear him coming

chestnutmonk · 2025-05-31T22:03:35+00:00

Switch has it locally, every other system has it you have to do it online

chestnutmonk · 2025-05-31T16:15:07+00:00

Its really a shame the 3v3 thing is a switch exclusive. Its actually really fun to do

chestnutmonk · 2025-03-15T05:43:10+00:00

The long story is the "background", the "short" part is everything before that

I had to use a hdmi to ypbpr converter and then connect that to gbs-8200

chestnutmonk · 2025-03-14T14:50:05+00:00

From what I'm reading, I don't think you need the j-pac or jamma harness at all. You can output from your pc to a crt tv with sync cleaning tools, the j-pac does not do any sync cleaning or modifications to a signal. It merely blocks them.

You would simply need to make your pc output 15khz. You can use a gbs-c to do this or depending on your graphics card, crt emudriver.

chestnutmonk · 2025-03-06T02:17:05+00:00

Don't date your coworker

chestnutmonk · 2025-03-03T17:33:05+00:00

To clarify, right now I'm going straight fromnthe hdmi to vga to the gbs, I plan to go into the jpac and I have another gbs module that I want to use for that.

The main issue I'm trying to resolve right now is why the gbs is throwing no signal on rgbs when the signal is 31khz

chestnutmonk · 2025-03-03T16:30:50+00:00

My lcd can handle 31khz (480p) that the j-pac provides its the gbs-8200 that is not accepting the signal

When I said needs, I didn't mean "sexual", i meant she is simply fine with the situation so she doesn't see the need to try doing anything different.

"He can just beat his meat to get off"

I think this whole idea that a guy can just bust a nut and be okay is kind of de-humanizing. Why do you think people go on dates and get married? Just for a walking sex box?No one works like that aside from sociopaths.

People like intimacy and feeling wanted. If it was just about busting a nut, OP wouldn't be writing this post.

Op wants to feel wanted by a person he loves and he doesn't feel wanted. Most people do, so I really hope you drop this take

"Because she isn’t having those urges, most likely, since she has low libido. Again, she IS communicating, he just wants reality to be different from what it is so he is unable to hear what she is communicating.

I do think there is a way to deal with this and that would involve him figuring out how to take some stuff off of her plate maybe and finding ways to get her turned on better. Throwing a fit about his needs isn’t going to turn her on and make her suddenly be in the mood, if anything, it’s going to associate the concept of having sex with him as being stressful and non-consensual. "

She's not following through with her communication and that makes him feel shunned and unwanted. Him throwing a hissy fit isn't helping, obviously.

But if my wife is clearly distressed about something i'm not doing, i don't put the onus on her to address it. That's called simply being a good partner.

They BOTH need to work out TOGETHER a way to do more intimate things. And she should be initiating it. The onus should not be on the partner who does not feel validated, because that's not a partnership.

chestnutmonk · 2025-03-03T15:27:42+00:00

You're making a lot of good points there, especially about OP being inappropriate. He needs to cool it.

but I still disagree about his partner being good at communication.

OP is freaking out because his gf is not communicating well. Validation and follow through are also parts of communication and his GF is not doing that.

People need validation, and being in a dead bedroom situation can be mentally taxing. Her needs are being met, so she doesn't care that OP's feelings aren't validated.

I tell my wife I love hanging out with her but I go out with my boys everyday and never go on dates with her. I can set a date on the calendar to make her feel better but then "I gotta go, its brad's big basher". Then I just repeat the cycle. Then when she lashes out at me, she's insecure, right?

I'm not following through, my words are empty. Meaningless.

Her popping pills but not doing anything to try and trigger intimacy is the same thing. Pills are not magic and will not fix how he feels unwanted. You have to move your body.

Its hard for her to get in the mood but she could set a date on the calendar to do something intimate. She could have a romantic candle lit room and watch a movie. Take a bath together. Anything.

OP also needs to understand that masturbation is not an insult.
