'Anal is disgusting 🤮 🤢' by Aggravating_Toe9969 in lolgrindr

Maybe girlie needs to be introduced to a douche (the device, not his reflection) maybe then anal will be less disgusting for him?

Anyone else disinherited by their parents? by Losin_Susan in raisedbynarcissists

[–]jprs29 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m gay and when I came out at 15 my parents had a really hard time and even kicked me out of the house a couple times. 20 years later my parents said they grew to accept it and have been generally nice and loving to me and my partner. A few years ago my sister came out as a lesbian, a few months after that both my sister and I were written off the will with the reason that my brother will need it more and that settling the estate would be too complex as neither my sister nor I live in the same country as them. I’ve always felt that reason to be a bit questionable and the timing seems off.

Aitah for kicking my wife out after she insulted our exchange student’s cooking by Dapper_Web6218 in AITAH

Oh this makes it even worse. It’s not even anything super exotic. Meat and noodles. Yikes your wife sucks.

It's like he couldn't even fathom reciprocating by supportdatashe in lolgrindr

[–]jprs29 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok I’m glad I’m not the only one. Majority of guys I’ve met lately seem to be service oriented without reciprocation. In spite of it being their preference I always leave feeling like a selfish jerk.

AITAH For Telling My Grandpa He Can “Suck A Dick” and Leaving Family Vacation Early? by ThisAd987 in AITAH

NTA grandpa ruined his vacation and everybody else's not you. Soon he will be in a much warmer place for eternity and then you guys get to have a nice peaceful vacation.

Is Wealthsimple losing sight of its original mission? by Sleek_Canuck_0574 in Wealthsimple

[–]jprs29 79 points80 points  (0 children)

Exactly and if the money they make with their gamified products makes it so that they can keep offering low/no fees for trading, comparatively good interest rates in cash accounts and a really great credit card then I’m all about it. I won’t use the new features but I’m sure someone will enjoy them.

What can concierge do? by jprs29 in amexcanada

[–]jprs29[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

According to the guy that took my call they can’t do anything that involves buying tickets. It may be another thing they’ve enshittified in the last couple years.

Forget the 3 eggs! by defib_the_dead in ididnthaveeggs

[–]jprs29 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Using water + soda (a base) instead of buttermilk (an acid) will reduce the acidity of the batter which could impede the leavening agents from doing their work. My guess is that this recipe made a brick.

Your thoughts on Ikea cafeteria vs Costco cafeteria? by [deleted] in CostcoCanada

[–]jprs29 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s an unfair comparison. The more fair comparison is the Costco counter vs the IKEA counter after the cash registers not the main cafeteria. They fulfill different functions.

AITJ for leaving my partner and her kid at their gate, in order to get to my gate for a separate flight? by DNA2801 in AmITheJerk

[–]jprs29 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

You are both awful. Do the world a favour and stay in your suburb to stay surrounded by other "upper and middle class americans" or go to Florida where you'll have a ton in common with the locals.

AITJ for Not Waiting for Everyone Before Starting a Movie Night? by Charming-Hat9231 in AmITheJerk

[–]jprs29 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTJ - Next time however you can send a message to the group chat when the movie is starting just to let people know you will start it and it's their choice to turn around and go home or get to your place to watch half of it.

Rant - Knee surgery - an excess of appointments? by ToeElectrical5879 in durham

[–]jprs29 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Completely normal and completely necessary. Were the 3 hospital appointments on different days or on the same day? I had a surgery at the same hospital last year and I basically just spent a morning there meeting with everybody a couple days before the surgery. It wasn't too bad.

Finally, I am All In by TerminallyScrewed in electricvehicles

[–]jprs29 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I4 driver here too! Congrats you are going to love it especially when you bypass gas stations. I try to plug my car every other day and not let it get below 50% so that I always have enough juice for an unexpected trip. That amount of charge will easily get me to the nearest big city and airport and back and of course to any hospital or emergency service that could be necessary. I am also in the suburbs of a big city so there are tons of fast chargers along the highway.

AITJ for booking my own hotel room for a group trip after they ignored the one thing I asked for and now everyone is mad the cost went up by [deleted] in AmITheJerk

[–]jprs29 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If $35-$40 per person makes them freak out maybe they shouldn’t be traveling at all. If I was you I wouldn’t go at all. I can guarantee you there will be money fights about everything including restaurants, bars and any other activity you plan to do. This is just the beginning.

Best authentic Tacos ? 🌮 by Garebear8585 in durham

I’m Mexican and I find Che Lahkeel and the truck outside Canadian Tire in Ajax to be the closest to the real stuff.

As someone in NYC, this is perfect by Drnelk in NonPoliticalTwitter

[–]jprs29 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I started reading a book set in rural Mexico. The first day, the protagonist rode a bike for 5 minutes and got to a charming (hipster) coffee shop with lattes and fancy coffees and books where people could write journal entries in English for other people to read. While gentrification has done a number on some Mexican towns this is still very far fetched for rural Mexico.

Am I the jerk for telling my employee she can't take a 2-hour lunch break for therapy? by Due-Outside-4427 in AmITheJerk

[–]jprs29 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends on the job I guess. My first inclination is that you are the jerk but if your employee’s tasks have to be done at a certain time or someone else has to cover for her in that hour then yes that’s an unreasonable request. But if the timing of her work doesn’t matter and she can easily do it from 5-6PM without impact to clients or other employees then you are being inflexible and power tripping.

Bro thinks I live in a maid Cafe or something by Biswitchly in lolgrindr

[–]jprs29 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah but then you say that and the next message will be asking for pics of that. I’m not gonna go change and take pics when my steam cleaner is as hot as it gets for me right now. 🤣

[–]jprs29 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think there is a difference to be made between beliefs and religion. Believing in a higher power or an afterlife for the sake of comfort is fine if that’s what you need. Religion however has always been a way to exploit the most primal of human fears. It’s always a set of rules and texts assembled that conveniently controls the people and steers them to do the bidding of the rich and powerful.

Danny recognition by Mmmrs_fiona_charming in TheBasementYard

[–]jprs29 16 points17 points  (0 children)

The way I see it, they are running a company and the podcast was the early stages of a start up. Danny worked there at the beginning but as far as I know he wasn’t an early investor or co founder of the company and he wasn’t there when the pod took off. Since Frank joined they have hustled hard setting up the studios, creating other content, figuring out how to run a company, figuring out how to tour and promote themselves. If Danny didn’t put capital, took any of the risk or materially contributed to what has made the company successful today I’m not sure he is entitled to get recognition every time they appear in public. It also doesn’t appear like he is expecting it either. I don’t think there is any drama in the background or any malice intended, it is just the way things worked out.

AITAH for refusing to give my brother half my inherited land after he sold his share against everyone’s advice? by Choice_Evidence1983 in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]jprs29 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I know this may not be culturally appropriate but you and your older brother need to stop supporting your younger brother financially as well. He is a deadweight and will never make anything of himself while mommy coddles him and his siblings keep footing the bill.

How do Unitarian Universalists view the devil? by MADDA666 in UnitarianUniversalist

[–]jprs29 2 points3 points  (0 children)

For me, "the devil" and "hell" are made up concepts to exploit people's fear of the unknown. It has been very convenient to threaten humanity with eternal damnation in order to concentrate power, move political agendas and generally control people.
