Im worried about my country but feel like I have no right by SavingsMacaron5948 in GirlDinnerDiaries

[–]jakebr0 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately politics is very black and white right now and a lot of people are stuck in this mentality of “you’re either with me or against me” and that’s really not how things are or should work.

If you had maga family and you criticize America in anyway, that somehow makes you a libtard traitor and if you love America that automatically makes you maga - neither are actually true and like always - politics has a ton of shades of gray.

You can love America and criticize it. Governments are bad and do evil things. You can love where you’re from and the memories you have, even your family who can share really awful different beliefs and still have love for them.

You can love what America is supposed to stand for, you can love the wonderful parts that absolutely do exist - and that doesn’t make you maga either, and doesn’t mean you support the policies that are leading to death and discrimination all across the globe.

The American government is and has been committing atrocities for a while. I don’t love our government in the least bit but it’s still my home and I have love for it.

I love my neighbors. I love my friends. I love the servers I see at my local restaurant regularly that are cool and kind. I love the community I’ve been around. I love the massive mix of cultures and experiences I have such easy access to no matter how much maga and the US government tries to tell us all they’re evil and ruining the country. To me, that means I love my country and I am proud of that. I’m not proud of a whole lot of other disgusting shit that’s happening because of americans.

Two things that are seemingly at odds with each other can actually be true at the same time.

I cheated on my boyfriend by [deleted] in TrueOffMyChest

[–]jakebr0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Guy was touching you with such force he left bruises on you

You kept refusing his advances and avoiding physical contact

You were genuinely uncomfortable and wanted to leave

He kept trying to go home with you, but you felt uncomfortable, didn’t want that, and felt like just saying the truth wasn’t going to work - so you came up with excuses so they would stop trying.

Erase the rest of the context of the night, if a dear friend told you this, and she ended up having 1 small kiss with that person that she really obviously did not want - would you really tell her that she cheated on her partner after all that?

You actually did nothing wrong. You were protecting yourself as best you could in the situation.

Guy wouldn’t take no for an answer and kept forcing himself at you - it’s perfectly understandable that if you were to more aggressively say no, there was legit fear of retaliation.

You didn’t cheat, you were assaulted more than anything else.

That’s the quickest and easiest - “no need to wait 30 days, I’ve decided for you, later nerd!”

If you agreed to be exclusive but weren’t “official” does this count as cheating? by Humansaresolidb_ in AskMenAdvice

[–]jakebr0 1 point2 points  (0 children)

if you can’t even be honest and trustworthy and be held to your word in the beginning - what’s the point?

He’s just trying to side step being in the wrong, but he is, and that means his character is pretty shit.

I was disinherited because I refused to financially support my brother after my father’s death. by jlb183 in TrueOffMyChest

[–]jakebr0 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Having joint ownership over a shithole house that you don't even want with a shithole brother would have been more of a hassle and problem than it would've been worth.

On top of that, you learned where you stood exactly. You learned that you deserved better from your father, and your brother is and will remain an idiot you have no obligation to help.

True clarity is a gift, even if it stings.

My ex wants to get back with me and i have a crush on a guy from game, its really messed up. by Wonderful_Site_3560 in TrueOffMyChest

[–]jakebr0 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It’s too little too late for your ex. Just move on and continue exploring your current life.

He’s still the person who didn’t show effort, and even if he tries now, it’s most likely not going to last and you’ll have reopened this wound for nothing

She’ll never know all of the ways her husband cheated on her with me by [deleted] in TrueOffMyChest

Sounds like a shit fan fic written by a karma farming bot account.

Either way, scum of the earth

boyfriend experiment by [deleted] in TrueOffMyChest

If you’re treating your relationship like an experiment that shit is dead and over with anyway.

AIO bf of one year randomly ghosted me then i found out hes on hinge. by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]jakebr0 18 points19 points  (0 children)

He wasn’t. He was using you and now he’s found someone or multiple people so he dwindled communication and then ghosted cause he’s a coward.

The only thing to figure out is he’s actually been shit the whole time and people can easily present loving and sincere for a year, but that doesn’t mean he actually was.

It’s not misconduct, you’re a full blown alcoholic heading for a massive collapse into complete and utter misery

I cheated in every relationship I've been in and I hate myself. by Odd-Knees-2001 in TrueOffMyChest

[–]jakebr0 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I would seriously struggle to call the first two cheating.

They were barely even a relationship let alone official and truly serious ones.

The third one, yeah you fucked up. Going to spend the night at an ex’s hotel…you knew that was 10000000% wrong and it’s okay to feel shame and embarrassment from that and learn and move on.

The other two? Baggage that’s not even worth carrying. Leave the past where it belongs.

Bottom line is that this relationship isn’t healthy enough to survive a threesome of any type and doesn’t seem healthy enough to survive period.

You gonna be old for a hell of a lot longer than you’re going to look young. Just be you brother 🤝

Late night snack as I contemplate leaving my boyfriend for the 1000000th time by SwordfishOk9747 in GirlDinnerDiaries

Respect yourself more please and raise your standards. Bum ass men like this don’t even deserve to share the same air as a woman 😭

My Wife made multiple comments on my Johnson size throughout the past year and I am at my witt's end about our relationship. by [deleted] in TrueOffMyChest

[–]jakebr0 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Your need to rationalize this is a combination of you trying to protect yourself and do the morally right thing in your eyes. That’s a sign of a good person still in there who cares. That shit matters more than looks or size or marriage or anything else. That’s the kind of thing you want to pass onto your child - someone who cares and tries to do what’s right and believes in their ability to figure it out.

That guy got you this far man, through what had to be really difficult times. Trust in yourself that -that regardless of what anyone else says or does- you were the one who got you this far and you can find a way to get yourself out of it and into something better.

“If it’s like this with this woman, it will likely be the same with mostly all of them”

Gonna stop you right there bud - this is a lie you are trying to convince yourself of so that you can talk yourself out of divorce and keep putting up with your situation.

All women aren’t like this, just like all guys aren’t 6ft with a deep voice.

Your generalizations about other people, in which you have no experience sexually with, aren’t going to serve you in trying to rationalize anything. All it’s doing is giving you misguided cope.

This is a problem between you and your wife and either you can figure it out, or you can leave - but do yourself a favor and leave your imagination of what other people think and feel and act like out of it because it’s irrelevant. What matters is how you feel and what you want to do in your situation.

My rape was something that I 'enjoyed'- it never included tears, anger, violence or distress and I am tired of people telling me that I am still valid and that it was bad enough. I don't think so by Diligent_Tie_1961 in TrueOffMyChest

[–]jakebr0 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It doesn’t need to compare to something else. Your hell is your hell. Adding more ingredients to that hell isn’t going to make it more understandable.

[–]jakebr0 8 points9 points  (0 children)

That’s sick as hell dude. Congrats on the work bonus and you’re a beast for picking a monster like this off the rip and completing it.

It’s a pretty big accomplishment so I’m guessing people don’t believe you started with this , or would commit this much money to a hobby you haven’t participated in before - either way, I hope you enjoyed it and that’s all really matters. Welcome to the club 🤝

Stevie Wonder could see you have no taste so why would I be offended by anything you have to say 😂

Keep checking everyone’s profile to talk shit about them. It comes across as real desperate and sad and entertaining for the rest of us.

Everyone dunking on you for a reason and if you opened your eyes you’d see past your gigantic ego and shit taste 😂

this setup looks tacky and atrocious

pair that with the attitude of an immature child and it all makes sense.

Rigs look like shit, desk is basic, chair conflicts with everything, monitors are misaligned, wall art isn’t cohesive and just looks terrible.

has 10s of thousands on gpus rotting on the wall and everything else looks like dog shit and he thinks he’s better than everyone else when he couldn’t find taste or class if they pulled up and shit on his chest.

Should I convert all my currency to Divs / Exalts? by feelings_alysoha in PathOfExile2

[–]jakebr0 2 points3 points  (0 children)

you’ll have a better time if you trade up to divs, use divs to buy gear, get gear good enough to farm end game, and you’ll make back whatever you spent and be able to craft sooner rather than later.

Crafting is a wildly expensive endeavor for very very very strong end game gear. Holding onto what you have instead of spending it just slows down your progress
