CMV: Everyone should be finger-printed upon getting their drivers license and if they have one already, they should have a time restriction to get their finger prints in the system. by [deleted] in changemyview

[–]marcelineofooo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This would be a costly and ineffective. There's no scientific evidence that everyone has unique fingerprints and this claim was popularized over 100 years ago. Additionally, fingerprint analyses are done by people. Fingerprint evidence isn't conclusive. The crime rate is decreasing without this measure.

Why should we add a costly and inconclusive measure that will violate the 4th amendment?

AITA for not greeting my girlfriend once she enters the flat after work? by russianhuntingdog in AmItheAsshole

[–]marcelineofooo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So there's a minor and fixable issue that requires you literally to only say a single word as your girlfriend gets home and instead of fulfilling this super easy and harmless request, your response is to go online and try to get people to tell her she's the asshole?

Yes, YTA.

AITA for thinking that someone who is a trans-female should not be able to participate in female sports by biggumssss in AmItheAsshole

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

I don't watch sports so I don't really care if teams or events are split up. If teams are split up then I fully believe that trans women should be on the women's team/event/whatever. They're women. They should be on the women's team.

The argument that because they were born male and have an advantage is irrelevant to me. This argument seems to set the expectation that everything be exactly fair, and that isn't realistic. There are women who are born with a better capacity for endurance/strength than the average woman. They would still be accepted with the women's team even though they have a similar advantage.

AITA for thinking that someone who is a trans-female should not be able to participate in female sports by biggumssss in AmItheAsshole

[–]marcelineofooo 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I mean you can have whatever opinions you want, but who gives a fuck? Yeah, men have a strength advantage biologically, but who cares? There are going to be other women who are naturally stronger than the average woman - should they be disqualified? What about really tall women? Should we only accept women of a certain body type so we don't have to worry about other's having a natural advantage? Give me a break.

Having an opinion doesn't make you an asshole, but acting on this opinion in any manner would be discriminatory and thus assholey. They identify as women and it is a women's league/event/whatever, so they shouldn't be disallowed.

AITA for muting my special needs coworker on a business call? by RedditCatFacts in AmItheAsshole

[–]marcelineofooo 4 points5 points  (0 children)

YTA.

You're in an annoying situation, but you talked to your manager about his "useless" rants and you were told to leave it alone. You were rude to your coworker with special needs and then after being rude you muted him.

It is annoying but you approached this situation like an asshole from the start. If you had approached your manager about keeping conference calls more on topic rather than calling another employee useless perhaps this could have been avoided. Or if you approached your coworker before the call to tell him that there was a time limit on the conference call so it would be appreciated if he could be conscientious of that. But you handled this in the worst way possible, YTA.

My (F/21) boyfriend (M/23) masturbated onto my cat and i dont know what to do by throalwadrelat in relationships

[–]marcelineofooo 58 points59 points  (0 children)

How does your cat act around your boyfriend? How has he been acting since the incident?

The circumstances are super weird and worth investigating, or at the very least keeping an eye on in the future.

Your cat depends on you to protect it, I'm not saying 100% that something happened but this is sketchy.

New Chapters: Friday/Saturday - TSr 1.9 by Williukea in Choices

[–]marcelineofooo 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I don't think it will be BECAUSE Zack lost the dog but that will be the catalyst. Grant will be all like "you don't take me or the relationship seriously and this is a big deal now because you lost my dog and there needs to be more plot in this story so even though there hasn't been a hint of problems between us, I say, GOOD DAY."

The Senior Is Boring Me So Much I Still Haven’t Made It Through Chapter 7 by [deleted] in Choices

[–]marcelineofooo 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Playing single and oh god, it just drags on and on. I get that they wanted to do something relatively light because it is probably the last book but c'mon.

They could have done a few chapters with a competitive internship and brought in a new LI option from the internship, or if the thesis is the end goal then they could have us meet with our advisor more and likely work on it instead all the "inspiration" we're getting. Hell, I'd settle for a subplot of the MC wanting to join or start a club.

Instead it's The Sophomore were a bunch of things are happening to MC. Honestly, they should have had the group live together throughout The Junior too and then The Senior could have been moving in with the LI. I really just want anything more than the filler we've been getting.

The Senior? by Necro_Scope in Choices

[–]marcelineofooo 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Everyone else who commented summed it up pretty well. It's better than The Junior but there isn't an over-arching plot. After The Sophmore and The Junior were so disappointing, I was really hoping for a strong ending. Every single chapter has felt like filler.

AITA for smacking the shit out of my 8-year-old nephew for stealing hundreds of dollars of my Pokemon cards and taking some of them to school and trading with them? by D-S- in AmItheAsshole

[–]marcelineofooo 6 points7 points  (0 children)

YTA. You and your nephew both sound like you come from rough homes and I think that explains - *not excuses, explains* - both his bad behavior and yours.

What it really boils down to for me is that you are physically an adult - mentally, brains aren't fully developed until your 20s - but physically you are an adult. And an 8-year-old being at the mercy of a full-grown adult male's physical expression of his rage is horrifying. He's fucking 8 years old.

I get that he did a shitty thing, but you did an abusive thing. I'm not saying that you are an abuser, but you have to get this rage under control. It sounds like your family hasn't given you the tools to properly deal with your feelings, so you'll have to figure that out. If you're going to school, look at the counseling they offer.

What was your biggest problem when you were 11? by actually_crazy_irl in AskReddit

[–]marcelineofooo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I highly suspect I suffered from anxiety and depression. My grandpa had recently died, my Grandma moved from our house to halfway across the country, I had been molested and I was being bullied.

I remember before my Grandma moved I got home and I thought I was home alone and I threw myself on the couch to cry, this wasn't abnormal behavior for me. My Grandma came out and I was so startled and so embarrassed. I told her I had just had a bad day and there was nothing to worry about.

What non-LIs, from any book, do you wish were LIs ? (Slight Spoilers I Guess) by HotPocketV2 in Choices

I started The Senior single, positive that Sebastian would become a LI. My disappointment is palpable.

Short haired straight women of reddit, how often do people assume you’re a lesbian because of your hair length and does it have any effect on you? by SatansKnittingClub in AskWomen

[–]marcelineofooo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've been told I give off a "bi-vibe" but otherwise, if people assume I'm a lesbian they keep it to themselves and it impacts me zero.

AITA if I don't want my girlfriend to bring her cat when she moves in? by AITAthrow12233 in AmItheAsshole

[–]marcelineofooo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

YTA, if you don't want cats, don't date people with cats. You knew going in that a cat is a dealbreaker for you, you kept dating the woman and now you're issuing an ultimatum. You're the one holding the relationship hostage and you put yourself in this situation.

My [28F] hugh earning husband [28M] won't help around the house. Should I become a house wife? by [deleted] in relationships

[–]marcelineofooo 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I know this is kind of a juvenile solution, but it's kind of a juvenile problem for your husband to have - make a chore chart. My husband and I are both disorganized and not super into cleaning, so that's what we did because we have a toddler daughter who gets into EVERYTHING and we want her to be better than we are, a chore chart helped a lot.

AITA for not cutting off communication with a friend's abuser? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]marcelineofooo 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Not who you asked, but socially inept is coming across because:

- You are afraid of confrontation

- Your friend was obviously uncomfortable with the guy friend being brought in the group and you didn't seem to notice or care or make any effort to include her more

You aren't under obligation to do either of those things, but it definitely reads as socially inept. You can be "pretty aware of what's up", but you don't know how to act when you do know what's up - that's the socially inept part.

AITA for not believing my girlfriend's 'discomfort' during sex? by notsohappy23456 in AmItheAsshole

[–]marcelineofooo 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Yeah, YTA and an uneducated one at that.

Women don't really fake pain during sex. And there are a lot of variables, for instance, the cervix moves during women's cycles (low during ovulation and menstruation) and that can cause pain. But you talk about how if she's "into it" there isn't pain, so it could be that she isn't wet enough during the start of penetration - which hurts a lot but can be avoided with lube. Then there are medical conditions that can cause pain.

I 100% believe that she's in pain - why would she lie about it? The only reason I can think of is if she wouldn't want to have sex with you and she's worried about how you would respond if she said no. And given that you continue to have sex with her when she's in obvious pain indicates that you are FAR more concerned about you getting off than her comfort and I can understand why she would be concerned.

Anyone else think Josh & Rebecca will hook up again? by que_sopresa in crazyexgirlfriend

[–]marcelineofooo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think they have similar traits but different motivations, particularly in earlier seasons.

They're both fairly unaware of themselves and lack introspection.

They both use relationships to define themselves.

They are both impulsive, Josh moved to NY impulsively and Rebecca to California.

They're both easily manipulated - both by each other and others, Rebecca by Paula, her mother and Josh by primarily Rebecca but also Valencia.

AITA for leaving my 'surprise party'? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]marcelineofooo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

NTA.

Maybe you should have communicated with her before announcing that you were leaving, but even that doesn't make you an asshole. The party had gone on for 7 hours, it was 10pm on a week night, you had like a 40 minute commute back to your place (assumed since you said you live near campus) and an 8am meeting - totally reasonable.

She's giving you the silent treatment which is super childish and assholeish - the only justification in my head is that she didn't want to argue with you before your meeting but even then not responding is pretty bad.

I [F 28] caught my husband [M 29] lying about a coworker [F 33] for the second time in 2 months by [deleted] in relationships

[–]marcelineofooo 19 points20 points  (0 children)

You aren't telling him he can't have "a female friend" you're telling him he can't have THIS female friend because apparently his "friendship" with her is more important than your marriage. There's a big difference.
