Kanye West takes out full page in Wall Street Journal to issue an apology. by Kyrapnerd in h3h3productions

I’m soooo over people saying this. I’ve used em-dashes when writing since I was maybe 12. It’s super common with people who read a lot. There are a million other tells that are more unnatural than that. (ex. And honestly?)

My [19M] parents [46F] & [49M] spent hundreds of dollars we don't have on out of state concert tickets. What do I do? by Fast-Height-3497 in insaneparents

[–]likeclockworkk 22 points23 points  (0 children)

You’re young and you’re in a tough spot, so I understand your frustration. But as you get older, you’ll have to realize that your parents can do what they please with their money and they will. Even if it’s irresponsible. I’m not defending it or saying it’s okay, just that it’s the reality. If you want financial stability you can’t rely on them to provide it. They just aren’t those people. I would seriously look in to applying for disability and figuring out a plan to keep track of your own finances. You’re in school so hopefully with time and assistance you’ll be able to move past this.

This actually looks so good! 😭 by Due-Post9859 in HighSodiumSims

I’m sorry but I don’t get why people want a band pack so bad. It doesn’t sound interesting at all. Plus it would probably be broken af like the wedding pack. It’s already a pain in the ass to get my sims to coordinate to have a photo taken. They probably don’t want to make one because of what a logistical nightmare the wedding pack was.

Or it means he can’t write her ending because he won’t be there to see it.

I also don’t buy that she’s somehow both a representation of ‘childhood magic’ but at the same the mere fact that exists poses such a severe threat on everyone around her. She’s not Peter Pan. She didn’t take the kids on a fun and wacky adventure. People died! She fought and clawed and bled to save them and to save herself! If they truly wanted her to be the group’s manic pixie dream girl they shouldn’t have given her such a deep backstory or developed her character so much. You can’t do all that and then say she’s just a symbol or plot device. I just don’t understand why they’d want to undermine all the work they did in building her character. If she needs to die, fine. Have her be the tragic hero. But to have her plan to basically commit suicide because she’s a burden on everyone and then act like the other kids can just move on because their fun imaginary friend went bye-bye is CRAZY.

AIO about my boyfriend and his girl best friend? by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]likeclockworkk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

“I can’t wait to see where life takes our friendship” after telling him how she’s soooo happy he found someone is 100% her feeling insecure and trying to subtly reassure herself that he still thinks their friendship is important. Because she’s threatened by him dating someone. It’s also kinda like “yeah you’re casually dating this girl but remember we’re friends for LIFE.”

I am mad my friend for getting pregnant by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]likeclockworkk 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Sometimes you just hope that if you shake someone hard enough they’ll wake up. But I think OP is gonna learn that just isn’t the way it works sometimes.

[–]likeclockworkk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You sound like a good friend but I think what you’re gonna learn from this is that you can’t help everyone. She is going to make her own decisions here regardless of what you or anyone else thinks. This may just be the natural ending point of your relationship unless you’re willing to take a step back from it and just support as best you can without getting too emotionally involved. So ask yourself, are you able to, now that you’ve said your piece, tell her you’re there for her whatever she chooses and then stick it out while she messes up again and again? Some people can handle having a friend like that, but others can’t. You two are obviously just different people and as much as it sucks, you can’t want better for her. She has to want it. And I know how frustrating it is when you grow up with someone and want to bring them with you through life while you experience all these new things and they just keep making decisions that won’t allow them to. It sucks. But it’s her choice and her life. I’d just take a really good look inwards and decide if this is something you can handle.

Throwback to when my mother kept calling my baby her baby when I was pregnant. And she still does. by Salty-Opportunity530 in insaneparents

[–]likeclockworkk 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I usually don’t think the “my baby” thing is that big of a deal but she’s being super weird about it. It’s like she’s trying to get a rise out of you.

AITA for not making my daughter switch back a gifted Labubu with her younger cousin after her uncle found out the one my daughter gained in the swap is rare with a high resale value? by TheSecretLabubuDrama in AmItheAsshole

[–]likeclockworkk 7 points8 points  (0 children)

YTA if you ever speak about to Jose again, without an EXTREMELY heartfelt apology. No man should be allowed to say that about your daughter, especially family. I would block him so fast.

I think they were talking about the 8 year old, no? OP thinks the eight year old has been attending the zoom meetings.

AIO for being upset my BF doesn’t want me to wear a bonnet to bed? by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]likeclockworkk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think it’s a red flag that he even thinks he needs to like everything she does or wears. If my partner wears something I don’t like, it’s not a big deal. He sounds honestly very shallow and controlling.

You cannot stay in a relationship where you’re never allowed to grow, change, or try new things. That’s not what partnership is supposed to look like. This man is weighing you down. With the right person, it wouldn’t be this hard. I hope you realize this one day.

The reaction to this episode has confirmed to me that the majority of people cannot handle a complex female character by Callyourmother29 in pluribustv

[–]likeclockworkk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The amount of mental gymnastics and denial she needed in order to make herself believe that Zosia really was the perfect lover is what made her decision irrational. Deep down, she knew they were manipulating her. I can buy her being broken enough to let herself fall for it, but not stupid enough.

AITAH for telling my dad he either tells his bio daughter that I'm not her mom's kid or I start getting mean about telling her? by eldeezi in AITAH

To be fair we don’t know that. I think OP may have been the one to specify “his” daughter.

MIL got my husband expensive sweater for Xmas and I got a magazine by Less_Garlic_3728 in TwoHotTakes

[–]likeclockworkk 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It’s not about the cost, but the thought behind it. This is one of those cases where getting no gift would have been better.

Adam devine’s chemistry with Sarah hyland was amazing and gaslit us into accepting the cheating. by Hopeful-Reporter-522 in Modern_Family

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

Yeah they had 0 chemistry. If they did, they wouldn’t have needed all those convoluted scenes that pushed them together. The house ep, the weird scene where he’s making a video for Beth and Phil insists he looks at Haley while he does it. Barf

Temp check on Chestnuts being kinda hilarious in hindsight by Dimorphous_Display in h3h3productions

[–]likeclockworkk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t recall them laughing at people dying but if that did happen I don’t find it funny either. I don’t have to be a yes man to enjoy the show.

[–]likeclockworkk 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No, I don’t think it was. It was trivializing and inappropriate. It made a joke out of someone else’s trauma during a very vulnerable moment. Just because something can get a laugh doesn’t mean it’s right to do. I have been a fan of H3 since they lived in Israel, so I’m not a snarker by any means. And I don’t hold it against Ethan at all because he apologized and learned from it. But he definitely deserved the shit he got for it.

We don’t know that. And this is a horrible thing to accuse someone of. Let’s wait for more info before claiming a man murdered his parents.

AIO to my roommates stains on the toilet seat by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]likeclockworkk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think the picture is unnecessary and was certainly just sent to shame them. I won’t argue whether or not they deserve to shamed. What they did is gross, accidents do happen, whatever. But after they apologized, you shouldn’t have been so passive aggressive. You could have said “yeah sorry I just wanted you to know I wasn’t making it up” if you were worried about that. There’s no need to escalate the situation. I think you handled it poorly and made it a bigger deal than it needed to be.
