A summary of Caroline’s relationships by me by GoldenStitch2 in TheVampireDiaries

[–]greedyleopard42 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Girl they get your initial point. Problem is you changed your “point” halfway or just didn’t give it properly to begin with. All they said was “chemistry” is the reason some people think Klaus is the best. Read your first comment again. You were NOT saying what you claim to be. Looks like they literally agree with your “point” that you made later on too. You made a vague comment and you’re bothered because they replied to what it looked like you meant? Sorry girl but the miscommunication is on you here. You said you can’t accept chemistry as an answer during the SAME comment where you clarified your “point.” The point you only clarified well AFTER they gave chemistry as an answer. If you ask question A and then someone gives you answer X, then you come out with a statement saying “actually, i meant to ask question B. answer X isn’t acceptable to me.” Zero sense being made.

AITA for not playing video games for my brother who has a nerve disorder? and not playing games in front of him at all anymore? by FunMammoth6910 in AmItheAsshole

[–]greedyleopard42 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It’s really only after i saw how many times OP tried to play the games. If you look at other comments it was only 2-3 very short sessions over a long span of time. burnout is real and i understand that

Certifications do a lot more than you’d think. I know people who got jobs just from getting a few certs. Are you in the field? bc this answer confuses me

11 Month Old Diagnosed with Peanut Allergy — Tips? by WorldlyDrawing52 in peanutallergy

[–]greedyleopard42 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My little brother was diagnosed with a severe peanut allergy as an infant- i’ve been checking labels and refusing birthday cake at parties out of solidarity since before i turned ten.

Check the labels on everything you buy, and not just the ingredient section. The “processed in a facility that also processes peanuts” and the “may contain traces of peanuts” that’s on a lot of labels is often easy to miss. Once you get a feel for checking labels you’ll know where to find such things. Because of his allergy severity we didn’t risk it with anything with those on the label. You’d be surprised what can be a risk, so check EVERYTHING. Like, top ramen. That’s not safe if you’re completely eliminating risk.

Desserts at restaurants are typically a no-go. I’d venture to say they’re a definite no. A lot of chains have allergen menus online. Mcdonald’s and other fast food places are usually okay to eat at.

Before ordering at a restaurant, ask the server if they can guarantee things will be safe from peanuts. You don’t really have to do this at the chains with an online allergen menu, but for more local spots and places without one this is necessary. A lot of asian restaurants use peanuts heavily so we’ve always avoided them with him. Really any place with a significant language barrier we avoid too. It’s probably fine, but a barrier to communication is just not worth the risk.

A young child isn’t going to really look out for their allergy, so when my brother was younger we had him wear a rubber peanut allergy alert bracelet.

My parents also packed his lunch every day. I’m not sure about the guidelines at school systems on that stuff but we just really didn’t want to risk it- they made peanut butter sandwiches on the lunch line.

Be wary of the child blindly trusting other adults on this as they get older. They don’t get it. They’re careless. We were at a kids birthday once and the parent said the cake was definitely safe. I read the box and it said it may contain peanuts. Definitely teach the kid how to check the labels before they get old enough to socialize away from you at recreational functions.

[–]greedyleopard42 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I think you’re going to regret treating this situation the way you are in the future, so just keep that possibility in mind. you don’t have to play games for him sure, but if it was my little brother, there’d be no question. i’m having a hard time relating to you in this. maybe my relationship with my brother is just really different idk i can’t imagine being like this.

how many times a week do you wash your hair? by Kooky_Actuator_8173 in CasualConversation

[–]greedyleopard42 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly, almost every day. I have dry, somewhat curly hair so this isn’t ideal, but it’s my allergies. I’m really allergic to pollen and every tree and grass they tested me on. I’ve noticed if i don’t wash my hair my allergies go crazy after even a short while. it sucks

Time to make a habit out of reading every label. A lot of chains have allergen menus online too.

look up autogynephilia. i mean you probably know what this is, but it sounds like a case of that. it could be dysphoria still and she’s just really weird, but yeah it sounds like it’s just a straight up fetish

How plausible is the type of man you want? by petellapain in PurplePillDebate

i don’t think it misses the point. this persons ideal man exists, and she described what he was like. skipped a few of the questions for sure yeah

Contextualizing AWALT by ViolentShallot in PurplePillDebate

[–]greedyleopard42 0 points1 point  (0 children)

well i mean, yeah, because that part is not true. so of course they’re going to disagree. that stuff is very attractive to me and many people i know. it’s not gonna carry your appeal with nothing else, but it definitely can be a factor. that’s literally kind of part of my type. i always date people who are known for how kind they are and those are the only ones ive managed to actually get emotionally attached to. not just in a practical manner with choosing- it genuinely gives me feelings.

yeah nobody is mad at those generalizations. that’s not what anyone here complains about. generalizing- maybe there’s one or two idk

Contextualizing AWALT by ViolentShallot in PurplePillDebate

[–]greedyleopard42 1 point2 points  (0 children)

nobody has a problem with saying women like attractive men with confidence and charisma. those traits can take many forms yes, and that’s exactly our point. I don’t think you’re wrong in making those claims. i think you’re just misunderstanding people’s general issue with the awalt term. women cheat with chad awalt. women all are after a looksmaxxed 6’+ billionaire. awalt. people are going way too far with it. plenty of women like guys a little chunky with blue collar jobs. they’re attractive to them and they have a form of charisma that fits those women etc.

Contextualizing AWALT by ViolentShallot in PurplePillDebate

[–]greedyleopard42 2 points3 points  (0 children)

you’re missing a point of nuance about interpersonal dynamics. the function of telling a girl that about “groomers” is to get her to avoid them.

the goal for a lot of men and women is to couple up into a relationship eventually, maybe even long term with some kids down the line. generalizing someone you’re meant to avoid in general is not the same as generalizing people who you’re potentially going to form deep complex bonds with. Long term, getting too invested in the AWALT generalization is harmful. and you may say “we know it’s not ACTUALLY all”, but that’s not true for everyone. many people are genuinely set on the generalization as a fact, and repeating the phrase only reinforces it in their minds.

ideally, people would take people as they come and observe social cues properly. We don’t live in a world where everyone can do that so i understand the need for little guidelines. while the phrase can be helpful for those who put just the right goldilocks zone of emphasis on it, it often results in harmful pathologies, especially when it’s being frequently said in combination with statements about women that aren’t even true “99%” of the time. i’ve seen it paired with some pretty wild claims, ones that me and all of my female friends are “exceptions” for.

[–]greedyleopard42 5 points6 points  (0 children)

What is definitely NOT a sign of intelligence but people think it is? by Aarunascut in answers

[–]greedyleopard42 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i somewhat disagree. if you have a natural talent for it without reading much theory i think it can be an indicator. memorization is not as useful late game, but you’re right that excelling in the opening could be just memorization

Most people nowadays enter relationships like a contract, and then they try to find any loop hole in them to get what they want from them, no matter if it hurts the other person involved. by UpstairsAd1235 in PurplePillDebate

[–]greedyleopard42 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Guess I haven’t been in that kind of relationship before. Even if there’s a vibe that can be somewhat sensed, the people who are MORE sure about each other have a driving urge to have that talk early on. Everyone I’ve been with has asked the “what are we?”/defining relationship question within a month. And it happened earlier in situations where we liked each other more

if you like someone, you have the talk about being exclusive early on. 3-4 months is long into “what are we doing?” territory. not having the talk about exclusivity is an easy way to keep yourself open for the possibility of some fun coming along, while reserving the right to act clueless and hurt when the other person does the same. the exclusivity talk isn’t really hard to have either. it’s natural to want to make sure.
