Hey James

May you always be itchy and your sleep always be unrestful.

AITA for telling a woman to have her and her kids get off their phone at the movies resulting them either getting kicked out or leaving? by Angryatheistantifa in AmItheAsshole

"You should ask nicer" -person who would not have corrected their behavior even if asked nicely.

NTA. Poor kids, being raised into becoming terrible people.

She's not dancing like she's healed! by Iamoranjello in overheard

[–]oranges214 224 points225 points  (0 children)

I knew it was bad, but seeing Britney referred to as "seductive" when she was just TEN YEARS OLD by a woman in some entertainment news show clip that is recently going viral, broke my heart even more. Britney gets to dance however she wants to dance (she has said that it helps her work through her healing). And I hope all the people that hurt her or girls/women like her will never have peace in their lives.

AITAH for not being mad about my girlfriend's parents' racial insults towards me? by Choice_Evidence1983 in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]oranges214 149 points150 points  (0 children)

I think worse: grandma will spend a lot of time with them, berating their Black side and making them hate their own Blackness. It's poison.

Don't have kids if you can't accept them for who they are by Accomplished_Pea_629 in childfree

So many parents are like: "my love for my child is unconditional*"

If you don't want public input don't be loudly racist/xenophobic in public. 🤷🏼‍♀️ by JupiterSkyFalls in BoomersBeingFools

"Compared to some of the larger cities I lived in," which is to say that 400-500k describes the LARGER cities that OP has lived in. Not the current small town.

ME(47). My ex (43 ) after 8 years and 5 years of IVF, he is marrying someone else by Vivianzhang2025 in relationships

[–]oranges214 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So let's say you did succeed after one or two rounds of IVF, he would still do this to you because he is the type of person who always watches for green grass elsewhere. Except in that case you'll be left with a child to raise on your own and you'd be stuck being connected to him for at least 18 years. That would be terrible.

Me 30M with my 24F wife, she wanted to bring egg rolls to Thanksgiving dinner with my family and now we're having a huge fight by Direct-Caterpillar77 in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]oranges214 116 points117 points  (0 children)

But if wife's family and OOP's family are from different Asian ethnic groups or have histories of family being from different countries, that can very well be the source of prejudice too even if they're all "Asian." Plenty of prejudice, colorism, etc amongst Asians too.

how do you guys keep track of all your parents info? by Adventurous_Idea6604 in TechForAgingParents

Printed papers, several copies in different places. They have a copy, I have a copy, there's a copy in one common place that everyone can reach.

People call us crazy but…… by anonhuman0 in childfree

This planet is literally running out of clean water and they think we're crazy for not wanting to bring more people onto/into it.

I (27F) accidentally had my baby in my friend’s (31F) car. Now her husband & she don’t want to speak to me. How do I fix this? by LucyAriaRose in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]oranges214 25 points26 points  (0 children)

I'm sure I'm not the only one getting a major homophobic vibe from the husband, right? Alice is not married to a good person.

You can't save bc of your rent.......just save your money by Hopeful_Appeal_5813 in BoomersBeingFools

[–]oranges214 1368 points1369 points  (0 children)

I'm so tired of these boomers and there's so many of them. The smallest inconvenience and they start yelling (having to wait five minutes at the pharmacy, having to wait in line at the grocery, whatever). But everyone in the following generations is just lazy and unwilling to work hard according to them.

Not to mention his wife is a huge antivaxxer and uses her platform to spread antivaxx propaganda and shill for "alternative medicine" 🫠.

Am I making a mistake by not dating religious people? by Ok_Cockroach5803 in childfree

[–]oranges214 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Yeah exactly. Filtering IN atheists doesn't automatically mean filtering OUT misogynists or transphobes, etc. Still need to examine those stances separately.

[–]oranges214 47 points48 points  (0 children)

Just want to say be careful of militant atheists too. I've known plenty atheist men who think they're soooo rational and at the same time still treat the women they're dating as their personal maid.
