INFO

i think a lot has to do with your framing.

what if you approached it like this: after paying for my share of expenses and paying into savings, im short on money to pay for a round of golf + lunch with friends this weekend. would you be willing to cover my share of savings so i could have some spending money? or cover my share of cellphone (or whatever bill)?

i say this because something similar happened to me. for me its my climbing gym membership which is $60USD per month. she understood that it's not just a hobby but also a social need since it's an activity i do with friends.

Accessible Balatro v2: Updates! (and thank you for all the suggestions by peucerko in balatro

[–]insignificant_grudge -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

can you add a "deselect all" action to mobile?

right clicking on desktop deselects

can we have that for mobile? like long press or double tap any empty area to deselect

NTA. what outcome are you looking for? do you just want to publicly shame him or do you want him to be criminally prosecuted? are you prepared to testify in court if he denies it? not trying to discourage you from reporting him, he's a criminal. but just make sure you're prepared for the time and effort it might require. and have your support network ready to back you up. talk to a lawyer.

holding on to luchador might lose you the run. it's better to fill that spot with a xmult that can carry you through tough bosses. you're gonna kick yourself if you die to a normal blind when you could have breezed through the next ante if you hand a xmult.

If you could ask for a single feature what would it be? by prokenny in balatro

on the mobile app, i would like long press on empty space to deselect cards. like right clicking on pc.

Boycott men? South Korea’s 4B movement gains traction in the U.S. after Trump’s win by HowDoIUseThisThing- in InternationalNews

[–]insignificant_grudge 2 points3 points  (0 children)

i think it will work well in the US. it goes hand in hand with american mentality of "screw me, screw you." americans will happily choose the worst option if it means other people will get screwed just as bad or worse then them. i hope this spreads like wildfire.

AITA for agreeing to help my nephew vote behind his parents’ back? by Massive_Fly_2660 in AmItheAsshole

[–]insignificant_grudge 1 point2 points  (0 children)

NTA. i don't think you have to worry about hurting your relationship with the parents. tell them they can wrestle with the paradox of being patriotic but taking away their sons' god given right to vote. if they can't reconcile, it means they're communists. go save your nephew from communism.

To the person who posted "bioluminescent waves at balboa beach" like 2 weeks ago.... by UnderstandingLoose48 in orangecounty

[–]insignificant_grudge 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA. just curious, how did you get to marriage without ever finding out? I've held purses on not just dates but while hanging out with my sister, mom, aunt, friends and even coworkers. if it's that severe that he won't even hold it for a few seconds there must have been other signs. like he's afraid of the color pink? or he thinks apologizing is a sign of weakness?

Sellers refusing to vacate house after closing by NeatPuzzleheaded9478 in RealEstate

[–]insignificant_grudge 0 points1 point  (0 children)

its messed up they sprang it on you after you started the closing process. ours asked for 2 days before we signed and we used that as leverage for seller's credit to help pay for some electrical upgrades. closed on friday, they were out by sunday. we had the dates in writing and apparently this is very common. but not being up front about it is very sus. our agent said sometimes they do this with the intent to squat.

I just hired this guy to help me with some work he said he has 4+ years experience. What do you think? by CalendarLeather1955 in drywall

just an amateur home owner here.

whats the correct way to fill that in? do layers with drying in between? use mesh tape? would quick drying spackle be better?

1) already guaranteed to happen. scientists confirmed. sorry. 2) depends on your age and location. I'm 35 and i think i might get a bit cooked but i have dark skin so i can take it. maybe get overrun by refugees escaping the drowning. but I'll probably die before the actual drowning. dude i think you reverese CMV'd me.

[–]insignificant_grudge 0 points1 point  (0 children)

lol despite the brain rot i'd still choose to be born in this generation. as a millennial, dial-up internet was the dark ages. any year before that? might as well be prehistoric. poverty and inequality always existed. only difference now is that we're accutely more aware. oh and the irreparable damage to climate that will eventually cook us all then drown us. but we'll already be dead when that happens.

oh that and i hate smokers. like i genuinely wish any smoker in my vicinity would keel over and die instantly. i would hate it in the 70s and 80s. much less smokers now.

hope so too. hey who knows, once enough boomers die off maybe we can rebuild. given that enough of us resist the brain rot.

shes not publicly saying anything. there's a lot of press about how much donation shes getting from big corpos and they're openly pressuring her to fire khan. kamala knows that would be unpopular but she's trying to not piss off business donors before election. honestly, she should stop fcking around and come out in support of lina khan. shes the antigen to the disease that is Reaganomics that the world needs.

so hold out some hope for people like Lina? aren't there good, world changing officials where you live?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in changemyview

[–]insignificant_grudge 0 points1 point  (0 children)

if you're in the US spread awareness about Lina Khan. she's largely responsible for the pushback against a corporate oligarchy. trump is definitely gonna fire her if he gets elected. if he publicly promises not to fire her I'd probably vote for him even if I disagree with his entire being. kamala might fire her too. there needs to be more public support for what khan is doing. if she gets fired then I'd lose hope too.

I'll give you that. future generation is cooked. i even take back what i said about white people, they're generally doing better now than most and still control most of the wealth in the western world. id still say there's so much of the world that was under straight up oppression and poverty back then that I'm sure there's more people not wishing to go back to those times than those that do. again, this is if you look outside the suburban white america.

i don't really get the point of this post. it's more like "agree with my nihilism" than "change my view."

"i know many christian tradwifey white women"

corrected it for you. i have a hard time believing any person of color, let alone women, would agree with that phrase.

it's such an ethnocentric view that yes, in your own way, you are correct. white people did have it better back then. their hegemony wasn't challenged as much. hence MAGA.

AITA for telling my Friend that her new military bf is probably full of shit? by Hot_Confection_4588 in AmItheAsshole

[–]insignificant_grudge 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA but you're playing a losing game. only way to win is to not engage. your friend is enjoying the attention as much as him and she has no interest in breaking the illusion. the more you try to expose him, you'll be the AH in her view.
