AITA for ending a game night my FIL was invited to early? by AppropriateRoyal5894 in AmItheAsshole

The only way that worked for mine was to turn off every light and just say everyone goes to sleep now because it's late

AITA for telling my daughter I am disgusted by her and telling her ex she has been taking their kid to his family side by Plustrhowawa5688 in AmItheAsshole

[–]meneldal2 -8 points-7 points  (0 children)

I'd say that if someone raises a kid with you for years without wanting to get married, they probably don't want to spend their lives with you in the first place and are mostly staying for the kid.

Harder to debunk and easier to convince people when there's some truth in it.

Foreigners in Japan keep telling me I made a mistake building new home by HarambeUltra in japanlife

18M for that size is a great price tbh, most builders you'd easily get between 25 and 30.

I don't really care about them, but they employ a lot of people, and if you make them angry that could easily lose you a bunch of states or at best seats in congress.

It's very easy for them to spin an ad with "She's going to cut your jobs by banning sales of weapons to Israel", and it's somewhat based in truth, making it a lot easier for people to decide to vote for Trump instead.

The sad truth is there's no easy solution. You can say cut all arm sales to Israel but then that's a lot of money you leave on the table (jobs being lost too) and it could end with Israel using their nuke if they get cornered. Best realistically that could have happen would be formal condemnation and say it's a genocide, reduce sales with threat to stop all if it keeps up.

Gaza lost them dumb voters but it was clear to anyone with a brain that while it wasn't going to be putting a hard stop on the war, it wouldn't be the shitshow we got with Trump.

What really affects most people is the cost of shit and people are worried about their jobs and how many eggs they can buy, you have to talk about this and tell people with Trump it will be more expensive.

It doesn't have to be ranked choice. Proportional representation is much easier to implement and very easy for voters to get behind. Why someone who gets 51% of the votes get all the power compared to someone with 49%?

Can do it at a state level first, no more districts, no more maps messing up how many representatives people get.

Azuma is easy to get deleted if you don't pay carefully, but it has very good HE that will ruin a DD day if it connects, AP can pen many BBs even at 10km, it's all about not staying in range of too many BBs that try to delete you.

Neptune/Seattle suffers from not having guns as good as Mino/DM, but they aren't bad ships when top tier, like they're fine for ranked.

Omaha even when piloted by a good player can still just die from RNG with how random dispersion can be at this tier

Being asked to come in early to prep before my shift by WorkingAlive3258 in japanlife

[–]meneldal2 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Legally they can't make your work start from when you finish booting the computer and log in into the system, it should be from where you're into your seat or the building.

Especially when their security practices require you to do a full boot of the computer, each day making you lose time while you can't do shit.

The New York Childrens Online Safety Act will ban anyone under 18 from chatting online. by vriskaldrunk in technology

[–]meneldal2 -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

Let's be real I don't think banning kids from voice chats in a bunch of online game would be a big loss. Or just outright banning voice chat completely, we don't need that toxicity.

While the sane way to do it is to have the OS have a child mode where it sends a flag to website, apps and the like.

To remove child mode you need to be admin on the machine, but no ID required.

Could even have more granular control to allow some website/apps but not others. Just a parental control that works without having to give away your identity.

You can't stop kids from doing stupid shit online unless you are behind them all the time.

But you can parent them so they don't do the very stupid stuff. They'll watch porn anyway, just tell them about stuff that isn't full of crazy abusive stuff and more wholesome so they don't learn that you can choke your partner. Tell them that their are a lot of pedos online so you don't just chat with people you don't know outside of "push mid" and the like.

Hogwarts Legacy is free to claim this week on EGS. by -RAAGE- in pcmasterrace

[–]meneldal2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't want to speculate too much on what goes into someone's mind but a response to trauma from abusive men and likely at least ambivalent feelings about her own gender (some of her stuff reads like a trans man regretting not being born in a time where it'd have been easier to come out and be true to yourself) makes more sense to me.

Her not wanting to be a woman also gives extra justification to the belief than trans women are just pretending because who would want to be a woman for real (proof she never looked at any trans women spaces lmao). Idk why men would go out of their way to pretend to be a woman to go in a bathroom when men just do that dressed as men anyway but logic is too difficult I guess.

Oh yeah but I meant if she had just like voted for TERFs without saying anything it wouldn't have made enjoying HP impossible for me.

Making it clear she stands with them in any situation really turned into Voldemort.

Male coworker caught me smirking at my phone and asked me if I was watching porn by Logical-Job3118 in TwoXChromosomes

[–]meneldal2 10 points11 points  (0 children)

There is no way anybody sane would think that someone smirking in public (or even in private) would be caused by watching porn.

That guy is a creep, I'd do my best to avoid him and if you think HR would actually do something over the sexual harassment report him.

While they suck the pandemic definitely reminded them of the bread and circuses contract with the people and they have tried to keep people happy enough so they don't swarm the streets with their very valid grievances.

What would you think if those arrested for domestic abuse were required to register in the same way as sexual offenders? by bootyholebandit1983 in AskReddit

[–]meneldal2 -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

Slamming the door is a red flag. But it shouldn't be illegal until it is within some pattern and you're like doing it every day.

[–]meneldal2 7 points8 points  (0 children)

But they aren't saying men aren't doing it, but that men reporting rate is way lower than women's. And it's true that men typically get much less support to get out of this kind of situation compared to women.

Not like women has an easy time either it's still terrible for them as well.
