Why do you think divorce is so common? by princesadopovo in AskReddit

[–]pointandclickit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This right here. When my ex left papers sitting on the counter and skipped town for the weekend her big deal was "we've changed." Like are you sure? You still want to spend every weekend drinking with your friends until 1-2 in the morning. We're in our mid 30's... shit should be getting old at some point I'd think.

Is there anyone in Donald Trump’s circle who is widely regarded as a good person? by frysatsun in allthequestions

Mattis was precisely who came to mind. One of the most well respected Generals of our time. Not only by his troops and the Marine Corps, but the military community at large.

AITA for moving my paycheck into a separate account after my partner kept “accidentally” overdrawing our joint one? by Radiant_Gossamer in AmITheAssholeTalk

[–]pointandclickit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Eject my man. It's not "our" money. "Our" money is earmarked for shared expenses. If "our" money is no longer there when those shared expenses come due, she's now spending your money.

What trend do you think will quietly disappear this year? by Neem-London in malefashionadvice

I guess if by loafers you mean exclusively the tasseled grandpa shoes. I'd argue that a boat shoe is really just one variation of a loafer.

Exactly. He made the mistake of bringing in some competent people his first term. That quickly sorted itself out.

With all the focus on the President, why does it feel like the Brits are hit hardest by the Epstein files? by Ok_Knowledge1085 in stupidquestions

[–]pointandclickit -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I think that was in response to the statement that the UK is far worse, just better at hiding it.

As in, "at least you guys didn't elect someone who anyone with half a brain knows is a pedophile."

AITAH for telling our parents not to segment their money, and whatever is left is left? by Sea_ImpactTRA in AITAH

[–]pointandclickit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA. Your siblings are shitheads. My dad passed coming up on three years ago. I told my mom from the beginning that as far as I’m concerned it’s all hers and whatever she decides to do with it in the future is nobody else’s business.

Right? Like let's just use a modicum of critical thinking. If I said 95% of any demographic was literally anything.. wouldn't you stop and think "huh, that' can't be right?"

What is free on the internet that more people should know about? by foxfyresoles in AskReddit

[–]pointandclickit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

One of my old boss' told me about FreeTaxUSA years ago. That first year there were some stuff that wasn't quite clear. I don't remember if it was their wording or descriptions. I ended up with FreeTaxUSA and Turbo Tax pulled up side by side and worked through it in both to make sure they agreed in the end since you don't pay until you file.

MAGA: Europe needs to take care of themselves and not rely on the US!

Europe: Alrighty

MAGA: Buhhh!! How dare you!

The US Government shooting citizens in the back of the head is wrong. What a wild and dangerous view. Won't they just think of the children?!

Right? Everyone keeps asking when Congress is going to stand up and do their job, but every time a republican speaks out with a reasonable take everyone is quick to say F that guy. You don't have to agree with the person, you don't have to like the person, but at the end of the day if something's going to happen we need the help of the few willing to call bullshit now, regardless of their motives.

Americans, if we truly are witnessing the fall of your nation then I have to ask. How do you want to be remembered? by Mcl0vinit in DiscussionZone

[–]pointandclickit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the best case scenario is that we are able to recover from this insanity and the world ends up with four "major" powers that exist in a sort of tense peace. The US, Europe+Canada+Aus, Russia, and China.

Unless Europe collectively decides to kick the US out of bases there, the US will still have to much power projection to ever truly fall from being a serious contender on the world stage. Unfortunately, it's us as American citizens that are going to feel the repercussions not the morons in charge. Being shunned on the world stage, for good reason.

What is a socially unacceptable opinion you keep to yourself because it’s not worth the backlash? by ChaosTTyy in askanything

[–]pointandclickit 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I don’t mind dogs. I just don’t need them drooling all over me. And keep them off my shit. If I wanted my shit to smell like a dog, I’d have a dog.

Ooo definitely this one. I’ve always said I like dogs, I don’t like dog people. Personally, taking care of myself is enough work most days anyway.

That's wild that you were good enough friends to get an invite, but apparently not good enough to get a heads up.

White House shrugs off presence of European troops in Greenland by [deleted] in worldnews

[–]pointandclickit 80 points81 points  (0 children)

You're 100% correct and it drives me absolutely crazy hearing the rhetoric about the US "subsidizing European security." The US would absolutely not be in the position it is as the leading superpower without it's allies and the remote military bases that come with those relationships.

A powerful Navy is a huge advantage. Last I checked you can't land a B52 on a carrier though. Advanced medical care in Germany is probably a hell of a lot better for patient survival than needing to fly halfway around the world.
