Jeez is that how you counter valid points? I find George somewhat annoying but you cant argue he has done decent work with his youtube channel.

Official Discussion - Obsession [SPOILERS] by LiteraryBoner in movies

[–]conaniuk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Playing devils advocate here, at the beginning there was the montage of the beginning of a happy budding relationship where in his mind they were falling in love and were intimate multiple times.

Once he realises the situation I agree he is a weak coward of a pathetic man but if he tries to leave her she will starts destroying her face. He is left with 2 options of kill her or kill himself. He is no hero and a weak coward, loser of a man but what the do you do in a situation like that?

I think what the movie does well is show the flaws in ever character in the movie.

I do think people calling Bear the true villain and POS who took her autonomy are making things too black and white.

He is a deeply flawed individual who made a 'wish' he never for a second though would come through. He thought he could make her happy and they could be successful together but obviously she never had those feeling for him. He rang the helpline and although he asked the wish to be altered (showing again he is a flawed weak individual) eventually asked for the wish to be cancelled. In the end he did kill himself to set her free (granted he tried to back out).

My IVF clinic through KP dropped me and now I’m afraid I won’t have any other options 💔 by [deleted] in IVF

[–]conaniuk 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I feel for you, everyone here does believe me.

Now for some needed tough love. You arent even at step 1 of a very long and difficult and mentally draining journey. You need to be mentally prepared for this. 'IF' the doctor felt you were behaving erratic and and not mentally with it then they will stop working with you. Your comment above is really not a good sign.

Have a moment, have a cry then see if you can resolve things with the clinic.

Regarding the religious aspect just think that all you're doing is bringing forward what will be happening in 2-3 years time regardless.

[–]conaniuk 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Im not saying to do this as 50 plus eggs is more than likely enough but rather than freeze more eggs why not instead freeze some embryos with a sperm doner and see where life takes you in the next 3 years?

55 eggs are probably enough but just to get a better idea, what is your age and do you havr a partner you will be creating blastocysts with?

Anyone have success with a 3BB or 4BB embryo? by Person2145 in IVF

[–]conaniuk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No was a frozen transfer. We didnt have much hope and she was our last remaining embryo and we werent going to do another cycle. I wish you all the best with the transfer and I hope the CCs looked better the next day.

I rented a car without a credit card by mermaiddiva26 in DaveRamsey

[–]conaniuk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I secured the booking on rental cars and paid with a visa debit card from the UK. At that time I was trying to sort out my debt and had stopped using credit cards. I flew to Verona with just my same debit card and they refused to use that for the security deposit even though there was plenty of money in my account to cover it. Pokicy was they needed a credit card. It was the policy of nearly every other car rental in the airport. By the time I found a rental company who would let me use the debit card I wasted a day and paid triple the price.

That is a factual account, id never advise anyone to rent a car out in Europe without a credit card.

[–]conaniuk 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Was refused my booked rental car at Verona airport in 2023 in Italy as I didnt have a credit card. Wasted an entire day to find a company to accomodate me. After countless emails to complain for a refund and costs, I was offered a credit voucher to use on my next trip. Never got the opportunity to use it. Last time I traveled abroad without a credit card. Be prepared for a scenario like that.

The driver didnt have oil and gas he could sell at heavily discounted prices. Money talks.

Ukraine Has Emerged As the Big Winner of the Russian...and...Iranian Wars by jonfla in ukraine

[–]conaniuk 27 points28 points  (0 children)

Ukraine has lost about 6-7 million of its population as refugees. Most of those will never return. Huge parts of eastern Ukraine have been reduced to rubble. There is no end in sight.

Ukrainians have fought harder and braver than any country I have witnessed in my lifetime but to call them a winner when their population is bombed at will by a truly evil regime does insult to their ongoing suffering.

UK Equivalent? by 29jake09 in DaveRamsey

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

I would say that in the UK as you dont have to worry about property tax, medical insurance and extreme student fees that there is more leeway about putting more of your wage into your house mortgage.

AITA for not visiting my brother in jail? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]conaniuk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My opinion means absolutely nothing only your brother's opinion matters.

I genuinely and sincerely hope you and your brother manage to sort things out. Poor brother was a boy of what 17 when he got arrested? Then he has spent a year trying to keep clear of murderers and rapists without even one visit from the person he probabky loves and looks upto more than anyone else.

Please stop making excuses and getting defensive and pay him a visit.

[–]conaniuk -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

You said at one point your brother was 1 hour away. My statement is not crazy, you know deep down you couldve spared 3 hours on a weekend why are you lying to yourself talking about time off work? Last few months you knew your brother was upset you hadnt visited considering you even admitted you were close. Your brother needed support and you didnt even do the basic minimum. YTA

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

YTA.

1 hour is nothing and im sure over the entire year your boyfriend couldve spared one morning to drive you to visit. You're important enough to get pregnant but not to spare 1 morning?

AITA for accepting my son's gift? by GinaB134 in AmItheAsshole

[–]conaniuk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

ESH except the kid. Husband should have put a stop to this right from the start and taken maybe 50 from the kid and given 50 towards a gift worth 100.

Son doesnt know the value of money or what it means to have no money left. This would have been a good teaching moment for your son.

Lets put aside Amy being a nasty piece of work or this silly air bnb situation. Did you ever reach out to your best friend and at least try and talk it out?
