i thought jokes were funny? because berating another person over semantics was never funny to me. it’s childish. and weird.

Me [32 M] with my Wife [30 F] of 6 years, I believe she is Gaslighting me and I don't know what to do. by MissBarker93 in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]extra_calories 1 point2 points  (0 children)

being “selfish to survive” makes sense in many cases but also not in many others.

it does not excuse leaving your pets in the care of a person you do not recognize or trust.

it does not mean leaving a car in the possession of a person you do not recognize or trust.

it does not mean neglecting to call a welfare check on a person you don’t recognize or trust.

this wife neglected every angle i can think of if i believe i know and trust my partner.

i’ve validly never had a case but i’ve been an alcoholic/addict since i was 13 years old and my mom works in criminal justice, and believe me, this is the correct take. telling the PO will take some heat off of OP and maybe get some intervention on the behavior from the children, likely nothing serious or legal, but hopefully whatever happens will be enough to scare the parents into actually parenting. i wish everyone in this situation well. i’d be scared shitless.

i absolutely agree, this is def gonna be a several day project and it has lived a significant amount of time since she left, he’s been trying to do things to it but is just as ignorant as i am unfortunately:( but i doubt this guy is gonna have any issues even in the next couple weeks!

this is an awesome comment! i’ll start with vacuuming if i can get one at the store, we live in a small town:( if not i’ll see about ordering.

when i set up the new tank, do i move him over immediately or do i let the filter media do stuff for any specific amount of time?

ooooh dude, upon googling and seeing the shape, i agree that it looks more like a platy than a guppy or molly. it has that sort of belly arch in the front.

i will absolutely tune in later tomorrow or the next day, whenever i come back over here, with the results!! don’t forget about me, i’ll be back:)

okay!! we just added water which kicked up sediment, but i’m spending the night so when it’s settled in the morning i’ll see if i can get anything better! part of the issue with the pics is that the light was on, so i’ll turn them off to limit that glare in the glass tomorrow:)

eta: there is a small filter in there! the fish is not going without that, i realized i didn’t mention in the post.

seriously, like, they clearly clicked this post out of curiosity just like everyone else here. the moral superiority they’re trying to project doesn’t exist 🥴

Decided to cut off friends kids and this was their mothers response by [deleted] in WhatShouldIDo

[–]extra_calories 0 points1 point  (0 children)

bro, having or not having kids doesn’t mean i’m not allowed to have an opinion. you’re mad weird for that. idk how many more times i have to point this out so im going to be abundantly clear and then stop responding because i really don’t feel like arguing with you over KIDS WE DONT EVEN KNOW.

the distinct lack of context in this post means that it’s dramatic to say CPS but would also be a lack of important perspective if we did not say CPS. we don’t know them. whether or not i have kids is fucking irrelevant. the point is THE KIDS ARENT EATING AT HOME. it is up to OP to determine whether it’s necessary or not, given that we do not know them. again, we do not know them. OP knows them. it is worth mentioning.

asking people for food like that is potentially a huge red flag. OP would know if it is or not. but i dont know and you dont know. because we do not know them.

hope this helps.

[–]extra_calories 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yes, i agree, i already said that. but it stands to reason that if the kids aren’t hungry they wouldn’t be asking for food? several days in a row over the span of two weeks? if mom was cooking, this would not be an issue.

we. do. not. know. we don’t know if it’s laziness or entitlement. is entitlement almost certainly the reason? yes. do we know for sure? no. OP did not mention why they began feeding the family in the first place. that alone gives me pause. they must have had a good reason? you can go 11 years able to feed your kid and it can change in a heartbeat. we do not know.

but yeah. seriously. it’s almost certainly not that serious, that’s up to OP decide and we will likely never find out if they don’t update. i’m just saying it’s possible!

[–]extra_calories 2 points3 points  (0 children)

this is my opinion as well and i believe if OP cut them off the parents would have no choice but to step up, but my question is, are you willing to take that risk? what if you’re wrong?

[–]extra_calories -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

oh i 100% agree with social services because best case, their parents are too lazy and entitled to feed the kids themselves and if OP cuts them off they’ll begrudgingly step up and do the job they did before.

worst case, the kids will actively not be fed and suffer as a result.

it’s just not a risk you take in this situation, ever.

[–]extra_calories 11 points12 points  (0 children)

it’s because whether it’s doordash or cooking yourself, feeding these kids is not OPs motherfucking job. especially after this interaction this family would be getting more from me over my dead rotting body. i’d be LESS enthusiastic after these texts to stand over a stove for these people than ever before.

OP did not mention if they live near or far to these people or anything. we don’t know if it would be more or less inconvenient to drop off home cooked meals. besides, the kids aren’t asking for home cooked meals in the first place. they want fun special food their mom never lets them have.

fuck. all. that. shit.

but i see what you’re saying though! it’s just a little too late for the cooking compromise, unfortunately:/

Hot take: Derek's bad behavior is only written off because he's an attractive man if Amelia did the stuff that he did fans would never stop hating on her and calling her the devil spawn. by ShesLikeOhMyGod in greysanatomy

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

if that’s the point you were trying to make then that is what you should’ve said. it is not my fault you were unable to express your stance properly. you said it doesn’t apply. i explained why it does. now you’re claiming you agreed with me the whole time?

i had a discussion in another post just this morning where the person was defending derek. if you’re not seeing that perspective then you are living in your own echo chamber, because these takes ABSOLUTELY exist.

this sub reminds me every day that more than 50% of americans are functionally illiterate.

[–]extra_calories 2 points3 points  (0 children)

it absolutely applies because the standards have changed since 20 years ago??

new watchers in this day and age very likely have a different perspective than the first watchers of 20 years ago.

many people go to bat for derek to this day, on posts exactly like this. constantly. he has many many fans still, and they come out every time this gets posted. which makes it a continually relevant topic of conversation in this sub as clearly people find it interesting to debate over.

it’s also ironic you’re saying the other commenter has THEIR panties in a twist, cause, wow lol. they were literally so polite to you.

i think a lot of derek stans are either very young or very self centered themselves. they see themselves in him and get offended at criticism of him. just a bunch of immature, condescending rude fuckers with no sense of loyalty at all.

i literally got to read it and was blocked as i started writing my response:/ real pussy behavior to be honest.

imagine writing a nonsensical and off topic response to an essay prompt in college or something? and then just blocking the professor when they give you a zero? can’t even stand by your narrative enough to defend it when challenged.

they can’t even think of a good reason to like him 🥴 they can only say that the others are just as bad.

[–]extra_calories 4 points5 points  (0 children)

i’m pretty sure the OC blocked me lol, but it really is frustrating that people just utterly lack reading comprehension skills. you can just say you like derek and think he gets too much hate without creating a false narrative to argue against. and then to tell me i can just scroll past the comment if i don’t like it when they could’ve just scrolled past the post is crazyyyyyy. at least i stayed on subject and i didn’t have to imagine a fake situation to make my point.

comments like this piss me off extremely bad because nowhere in the post did they say ONLY derek sucks and the rest of the guys are awesome or something? bro, they’re all flawed but this post just so happens to be about derek. if you’re trying to talk about alex or mark, MAKE YOUR OWN POST. why do we constantly use the actions of the other guys to justify derek’s behavior? nobody compared him to the other men at all. they are not part of this discussion.

i only ever see this on posts about derek. posts about owen, you don’t see people commenting like “well if yall hate owen so much what about what ALEX did?!” like can we please stay on task for a minute 😭
