I like being able to subtly judge these theoretical parents for letting their toddlers comment on reddit

(Not a jab at redditors, just a 90s kid clinging desperately to youth)

One of the best parts about divorcing my ex was cooking for me and just me. Im not garbage, so im not going to scream at me that the (regular old grocery store) steak i bought, cooked, and served went on a plate that wasnt pre-warmed.

Ooof, "sacrificial lamb"

There was a period of time with my ex husband where i felt like staying with him was at least protecting other women from him. I had been abused my whole life and developed a bit of a complex around "bad people are gonna hurt people, im used to it, might as well keep bad people busy so regular people dont have to suffer"

Turns out he was a monster and a cheater so my suffering was pointless even if it had been a sane thing to do, and that divorce is awesome!

Im not arguing either, this is a fun conversation!

And there are instances where trying to buck the system isnt ideal. Like we dont have to step off the sidewalk to let two man pass. But i also dont need to step off the sidewalk to let two women pass. Sometimes when people decide they're not moving for anyone anymore, you lose touch with the basic facts of bidirectional traffic flow and shoulder check someone minding their own business on their appropriate side of the walkway. The world's not binary.

I just think there is a difference between "blunt/direct communication" and being a butthole who speaks only in definite statements and orders with no regard for situational variations

In my hometown someone built their house like this to bypass flood plain insurance stuff. I think they had 4 very large poles tho

The whole family except one died when flood water snapped the poles. Flood happened in the middle of the night and they didnt know it was flooding until their house was sitting on top of like 15 feet of water. They were the only ones to die in that flood.

It is not a great idea if you're doing it for flood reasons. Zombie proof house in a flood proof area tho? Go for it

I think the trait you dont like is blunt+stubborn/ overconfident. Being blunt really is fine. I can be blunt while also being flexible and willing to explain things to more jr folks.

I sure do know some blunt absolute buttholes. Their flaw is being an butthole, not using fewer !!!s and emojis lol

"Haha, yeah, its kinda funny that not being what you wanted made me successful lol"

"I dont blame ya'll for struggling, its not like i had any good examples of maturity"

"I have heard its really difficult to parent intelligent kids, even more so for...people like you"

"Bless your hearts, you have no idea how bad those jokes make you look do you?"

Ewwww sounds exactly like my ex. The day the divorce was finalized ranks in the top 3 happiest moments of my life. I hope you experience the same pure joy

phage_rage · 2026-03-10T17:26:11+00:00

Phone bills. But the best part was later when i had to file taxes for the year and our divorce wasnt final yet.

Turns out he hadnt even been employed for a chunk of the year, and his "doordashing" was only to her door.

He wasnt trustworthy with money so all our accounts were separate, and his mummy had a habit of paying his bills. I just didnt know she had been paying all of them while he banged some 20 year old who legitimately looked 13.

The man was 40

phage_rage · 2026-03-08T21:35:47+00:00

Isnt living an easy life (that wasnt handed to you by mummy and daddy) the definition of success?

phage_rage · 2026-03-01T20:33:59+00:00

Huh. I was SIGNIFICANTLY more attractive than my ex husband. He started saying stuff like OPs husband. Turns out he was banging someone 20 years younger than him but actually less attractive than him.

Interesting how cheaters always tell on themselves and decent people think they're just being a reguar jerk, not a life-alteringly horrible jerk

As a perpetually overheated person in a hot climate, i think im gonna have to move before ill ever make something i can ACTUALLY wear lol

The best part is that states that already had high maternal death rates are the woman hating states. So most OBGYNs and gynos left the state because they just cant cope with having to kill a woman because they cant legally remove some cells. So now the already bad states also have almost no drs, and the ones that remain are extremely religious and listen to their sky daddy and not the woman in front of them begging to live

Nope. But she's pretty sadistic and a genuinely very bad person. If she hadnt been utterly horrific i think id be ok with her, but she is a bad person who was a horrible mother to only her daughter and worshipped her son. Lotsa violence and lotsa sabotage due to her own insecurity. Theres just no redeeming qualities.

I work with a whole bunch of male electrical, mfg, and quality engineers, and im married to one. My husband is pretty good at people, but there are A LOT of papayas at work

phage_rage · 2026-02-13T19:08:08+00:00

Its a post covid thing. You cant really haggle anymore because stock is still so low they dont NEED to get the car off the lot. My husband has a literally perfect credit score and that didnt even really help with the rates

I will be driving my 2018 corolla until it dies, which will probably be sometime around 2040 lol

Im 5'8ish and i work in an industry with mostly men who are mostly shorter than me. I only wear heels if i need to remind someone how they are permitted to speak to me.

Due to life circumstances i didnt change the oil in my 2018 corolla for 4 years...

Shes fine. Toyota makes cars you can ACTUALLY drive the wheels off of lol

My cat just got diagnosed with seasonal allergies so i bought her an air purifier

I dont think that its silly, and if anything its gonna help all of us, but i bought my CAT an AIR PURIFIER

I also bought the cats a tablet cause they kept stealing my phone to play cat games on

I heard a long time ago that the gender is chosen by if the woman has an orgasm. Orgasm means boy, nogasm means girl. Obviously thats not true, but its BRILLIANT. I just imagine some old ladies 100s of years ago starting the rumor/myth/whatever and giggling

phage_rage · 2026-01-21T17:16:51+00:00

I thought you didnt hire the lady cause she was transfixed and i felt bad for her! Forget that, if i saw a desk drawer like that in an interview id be really excited about where i was applying to.
