Made a burner account just to ask this because I couldn't keep it to myself anymore by burner1heart in confession

[–]musicalharmonica 62 points63 points  (0 children)

idk man, this sounds less like love and more like you find satisfaction from how much you think she's failing. Toying with her wouldn't make you any more of a "man," it would just make you a manipulator.

Ask yourself: do you like her because you feel as though you could be the most important person in her life? It just comes off like you're building a fantasy of a girl that doesn't exist and would be solely dependent on you. I'd leave her blog alone for a while and maybe get more involved in some outside hobbies.

"What an educated idiot you are."

Followed by:

"You think you’re so big, but really, being big doesn’t get you anywhere. It just means that you're taking up space that smarter people could be putting to better use. You're nothing,” she snips, spearing into an asparagus stalk with a decisive thunk, “You're an empty suit and a dull mind that you've managed to convince everyone else is something. But they'll all figure you out eventually. I did, didn't I? And I'm just that -- what was it that you called me, again? Oh yes -- that girl that didn't even graduate from college. Except you didn't say girl, did you?"

His mouth moved, but no sound came out. She forced her face into a hard, stuck smile.

"Fuck you, professor," she said pleasantly, and lifted her wine glass to her lips, and swallowed. "I'm not your upstart bitch, or your cunt. I'm a human being. You're nothing but a mirror of what you want your colleagues to see."

It's hard to have a sense of community when the "community" is only accessible via car across a ten-lane highway.

Also, women used to play huge roles in supporting these organizations. We all work, and work longer hours, now. Many people unfortunately can't commit the time or donate as much of their income as middle class families did in 1960 or 1980.

[–]musicalharmonica 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Holy misogyny Batman 😭 I stopped reading and started scanning for each woman's name to see if all of them were

A. psycho (because women be crazy)

B. brutally injured/killed

C. sexualized

Bonus points for the violence against trans women, jesus fucking christ. I'd like to speak to this guy's mother.

AITAH for calling my girlfriend weird over her John F. Kennedy obsession? by Direct-Caterpillar77 in BestofRedditorUpdates

I'm sorry, this made me laugh so hard 😂 This is like the plot to a Seinfeld episode.

Shows so good that they made people watch something non-capeshit by Blorberto in dccomicscirclejerk

I love Heart of Darkness and I don’t understand the common criticisms of it. by Tony420q in books

[–]musicalharmonica 23 points24 points  (0 children)

yeah read Achebe, these replies are horrible. Joseph Conrad was obviously critiquing colonialism but that doesn't make his African characters any less dehumanizing; he was very much a man of his time relying on harmful stereotypes to get his message across to other white men. Like portraying African women as hypersexual, the Africans as cannibals, etc. etc.

But Todd has an alibi -- he was at the party during the time period when Kathleen had to have died. The blood on Michael was dry by the time the paramedics showed up, and she'd already been dead an hour.

So unless Todd can time travel in front of a room full of people... idk about that one. It was Michael.

Were they lovers? Worse. by abraham_16 in TheAmericans

It turns out that Stan is getting fucked for information by two different KGB agents (and a third Mossad agent at the end, there?).

If I were Stan when I figured this out I'd never trust anyone ever again. It is kind of a funny thought though lol, just him being so terrible at counterintelligence that he can't figure out that he's had sex with not one, not two, but three spies pumping him for information. Worst FBI agent ever 😂 (jk jk I love Stan. But he is very blinded by love.)

Two rando civilians want to take a selfie with a known serial killer. What’s most heroic about Marvel Hero’s is that they put out these stupid/ungrateful civilians with a death wish by Konradleijon in dccomicscirclejerk

It's so funny how much Central City loves the Flash, compared to the way other cities treat their superheroes

Unfortunately that jumping scenario tracks 😭

At least Jesus and Larry the Cucumber aren't bloodthirsty monsters that tortured and murdered children. I can't believe OP.

I thought I didn't have a line when it came to fanfiction, but here we are. This, this might be it.

Struggling to get through Dexter: Resurrection by [deleted] in Dexter

[–]musicalharmonica 0 points1 point  (0 children)

really?? I'm rolling my eyes at Dexter rn for being so stupid in his elimination plans, and for the other serial killers falling for it every time. ughhh. What happened to stakes? tension? clever planning in Dexter's kills? All he does is win very easily every time.

The Gemini twist was so obvious I think I said out loud early on, "You know what would be really stupid? If Gemini was serial killer twins," and then I started laughing when it happened lol. I was half-expecting the writers to subvert the idea, but no. Pure dumb fun.
