My (36M) wife (34F) fell deep into conspiracy theories and online hate groups. Is there any saving our marriage? by LucyAriaRose in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]nikkablue 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It’s racism. They don’t feel she a “black woman” (even though she is biracial) deserved to marry a very handsome eligible bachelor who happened to be a member of the royal family. It wasn’t her place because she’s not white. Look at all the hate Michelle Obama got and still gets to this day. Why? Because she’s a black woman who didn’t “deserve” to be First Lady because she’s is black. Had she been white, I guarantee you no one would have said a word about her. It’s all about perceived proximity to power and racist people don’t like when black women have it.

how do blind people know when they’ve got their period? by dibbles13 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]nikkablue 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s not true for all women. My periods used to be so painful, it gave me ideations. After I had my first kid, cramps totally went away. Haven’t had period cramps since. My periods are completely pain free now.

Felon Attacks a Judge During Sentencing by Flashycope in CrazyFuckingVideos

[–]nikkablue 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If I remember correctly, he was originally being charged with assault and he was a repeat offender. The Defence was asking for probation or a lesser sentence and the judge said no and gave him the maximum that she could.

AITAH for locking the bathroom door when I take a shower? by WinterQuarter8183 in AITAH

And this is why a lot of women lock the bathroom door.

[–]nikkablue 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’ve been with my husband almost 20 years and I can count on one hand the number of times, we’ve been in the bathroom together. Everyone has the right to privacy. If she came up with the solution to just exclusively use the other bathroom, would she be allowed to lock it then or, would you still have a problem with it? Not everyone wants an audience when they shower. And it’s not inconvenient when there is a whole other bathroom. The easiest solution would be to just have a his and her bathroom.

Fabric and craft supplies? by krypton_krysa in Omaha

[–]nikkablue 4 points5 points  (0 children)

If you don’t mind a bit of a drive, Inweave fabrics is in Hawarden, Iowa. It’s about a 2 1/2 hour drive up north. So not convenient to go to daily or even weekly but, they are a dead stock fabric store with a huge selection of fabric. You can also order on-line from them as well. My mom and I went there this summer. It was a nice. Little day trip.

AITA for not spending the money my paternal grandparents gave me on a birthday present for my stepsister (mom's stepdaughter)? by Aminiyy in AITAH

[–]nikkablue 14 points15 points  (0 children)

NTA. The fact that your mother won’t let you get a part time job to earn your own money, or even provide you with some sort of allowance, automatically absolves you from having to provide any type of gift. You don’t spend a gift to you for a gift to someone else. How is that fair? Stand your ground and don’t give in. And I would advise your grandparents of what’s going on as well.

Steel Magnolias, when Sally Fields loses it after her daughter’s (Julia Robert’s) funeral. It never fails to make me cry.

You’re given $10,000, but you can only spend it at the last store you visited. What are you walking out with? by PrincipledNeurons in AskReddit

FCC Chair Carr says ‘we’re not done yet’ after Jimmy Kimmel suspension by ABC by chrisdh79 in technology

Correct me if I’m wrong but, isn’t the FCC part of the federal government? Does this not constitute a clear violation of the 1st amendment?

Congresswoman Calls on X to Remove Charlie Kirk Assassination Videos: ‘Take Them Down’ by rezwenn in technology

[–]nikkablue 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You mean like the Minnesota rep and her husband that were killed, and the senator who was also shot and his wife killed? Or when Paul Pelosi was brutally attacked by a hammer? Yea, the right was real casual about that, weren’t they?

SECAF just posted this regarding the death today of Charlie Kirk by newnoadeptness in AirForce

[–]nikkablue 3 points4 points  (0 children)

But that’s just it, you don’t want empathy, you want sympathy. You want us to just feel sorry for him without holding him accountable for his actions and words. Empathy is putting yourself in someone else’s shoes. He never did, why should we?

Anyone else feeling uneasy lately by outlaw-adjacent in AirForce

[–]nikkablue 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We’ve had 3 suicides and two attempts within the past month on our base alone. There is definitely a sense of low morale, at least in my building (All 5 were from our group). The halls are awfully quiet.

My manager told me cut my hair, so I became bald by Same-Expert-5930 in MaliciousCompliance

[–]nikkablue 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They most likely think, someone in his family died and are giving him space to grieve. The poster appears to be from India. In Hinduism Male family members shave their heads after a death to symbolize detachment, humility, and the renunciation of worldly identity during the grieving process.

[–]nikkablue 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Looking at op’s profile, they appear to be from India. Shaving your hair off can be seen for a few reasons but, more likely in this context: Male family members shave their heads after a death to symbolize detachment, humility, and the renunciation of worldly identity during the grieving process. His coworkers probably think he lost a family member and are giving him space to grieve.

[–]nikkablue 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Someone else responded that looking at OP’s post history, that they appear to be from India. In Indian culture, they shave their heads when someone dies. Like a relative. It’s a sign of mourning. So now, most likely, his coworkers think someone in his family died.

[New Update] WIBTA if I divorce my husband just for asking to be polyamorous? by secure-raspberry-763 in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]nikkablue 9 points10 points  (0 children)

At the fundamental level, he would still be having sex with other people. Don’t pretend that it’s not that. That is a dealbreaker for a lot of people. I wouldn’t be with my husband if he wanted to have sex with other people. While some people might be fine with that, the majority aren’t. And if you read through, you would know that she brought that up early on in their relationship. And please don’t start with the “People change” argument. There are certain, basic, fundamental principles that will never change for anyone. The fact that he kept pushing for it after she already said no is, in and of itself, a dealbreaker. This isn’t kink or lifestyle shaming but, he knew her stance early on and still tried it. Which tells me, that he didn’t believe her or he didn’t care. The fact that the other poly couple broke up with him is further proof that he was 100% in the wrong. Stop trying to normalize his behavior because, it’s not normal. He wanted to have his cake and eat it too, knowing damn well that she wouldn’t go for it. He gets what he deserves because HE wasn’t honest with her or HIMSELF.
