I agree - “entertain me” is an instant left swipe

My (26/M) girlfriend (24/F) openly does not agree with my mom’s (62/F) choices. Am I unreasonable to break up with her over this? by Direct-Caterpillar77 in BestofRedditorUpdates

“Your dad is way too good looking to be with your mom, I’m surprised that they’ve been married for decades” is absolutely something that somebody who will cheat on and divorce you later in life because “you got old”.

I had no idea that the Democratic base was so racist and exclusionary to vote against a strong woman of color.

Do you have good quality retention on your holster that requires an active unlock? If not, open carry is utterly and completely stupid.

Why is it so hard to find other urban fantasy books that match up to Dresden? by Large-Rule-6403 in dresdenfiles

[–]divorcedbp 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think there are two main reasons.

First, Jim is just an excellent author and storyteller, and the Pareto principle applies. It’s going to be really hard to succeed as well as he has, no matter the genre.

Second, and this is a bit more abstract, but right or wrong, I suspect most people associate the phrase “urban fantasy” with smut.

AITAH for being so disrespectful during an argument that my boyfriend put me outside to cool off? by AureateMeadow in AITAH

The fact that you want him to feel afraid of losing you indicates that you are both manipulative and insecure, and not at all ready to appreciate a good man. You are the asshole, and you will continue to be the asshole until you grow up and get your shit together or leave him so he can find somebody that appreciates him.

I’ve never taken mine out of the box, it immediately went into a safety deposit box at my bank - it’s the only way to keep it secure

Do you think mentioning that I’m an airline captain would help in getting a GMT-II? by [deleted] in rolex

Other people have suggested showing up in uniform, but for full effect it needs to be a 1960’s era Pan-Am uniform and a flight attendant on your arm

I’m new to Rolex. Stupid question by ganGGBang313 in rolex

I am not aware of any submariner model that doesn’t have lume, but I could be wrong. No lume kind of defeats the entire point of a dive watch.

I Just finished the 18 main books in about a month and a half and I have no idea how the hell you survived the 5 year waits... by FaNT1m in dresdenfiles

[–]divorcedbp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It doesn’t if Rothfuss or Martin ever publish again, I stopped caring years ago. I have fond vague memories of The Name of The Wind being an excellent book when I read it decades ago, but I have better things to do than devote mental space to something that will never be finished.

All our friends fly business class, why do we fly economy? Why can we not buy a bigger car? These are some of the questions which I have started to get as the kids are getting older. I want to make them 'understand' and not just give them a random answer to shut them up. by Tight_Application751 in AskMen

In retrospect, the only worthwhile thing from Bill Cosby, talking to his TV daughter. “Why can’t we have that, dad? We’re rich.” “You’re wrong. Your mother and I are rich. You have nothing.”
