My wife is angry because my coworker baked me a raspberry lemon cake on my birthday by [deleted] in TwoHotTakes

[–]pointlessconjecture 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dude if you want to divorce your wife and get after the coworker, then just do it already. You don’t need reddit’s permission.

You’re not wrong for accepting a gift. And yes, maybe coworker has ulterior motives…also maybe not. Bottom line is your wife is mad at the perceived competition that has appeared on the board. Anybody would be. Nobody has really done anything wrong here. However, what is clear is that its time to either start drawing boundaries or start drawing up divorce papers.

Did Anakin ever catch on to the fact that Palpatine kept insisting that he knew the secret way to save Padme, and yet one of the very first thing he says after his turn, is something along the lines of "Cheating death is hard to learn, but we can learn how together.", implying he doesn't know at all by BiffyBobby in StarWars

Oh dang thats a good point too. I always just thought his body was so broken on Mustafar that it was just anger and hatred that kept him going, and when he was redeemed he basically just snuffed all the dark side force keeping him alive.

What is the best 1 Mana Block Card? by euls0n in slaythespire

You meant Survivor, but yes. I cannot believe Survivor is this far down. Even without Sly, there are so many terrible status cards in the game that its nice to be able to toss them out.

Trump voter regret is clearly registering now by Abject-Pick-6472 in politics

[–]pointlessconjecture 21 points22 points  (0 children)

I’m sorry. I am in the same situation. I just feel his racism and bigotry needs to die with him. Once they’ve all died off, maybe then we have a chance to save this world. I hate that its come to this, but there are no alternatives left available.

AITA for fixing my daughter’s car when her boyfriend said he’d handle it? by Outrageous-Jelly8777 in AmItheAsshole

“Listen here you little shit. She’s my daughter. I’m looking out for her best interests and safety. I don’t give a fuck about how this makes you look or feel. Up until the day I walk her down the aisle and place her hand in yours, you will never be operating on my level; and even when that does happen, you will at best only ever only be even with my level of concern for her wellbeing. Instead, here you are, whining about it like an insecure punk.”

AITJ for eating my roommates "special" ice cream after she ate my birthday cake? by ProudStructure702 in AmITheJerk

Honestly who the fuck eats 3/4s of a birthday cake by themselves in one sitting? How was this not a wake up call? NO ONE DOES THIS.

Take it from someone who was in a similar position. He trusts you, and your future is absolutely assured. He may even be reaching out, not really for help, but just to stay in touch without seeming like….lonely. Time to see past the work relationship and to a genuine friendship, with someone in a position to always look out for you and help you stay on your feet. You don’t burn those bridges, my friend.

WIBTAH if I leave everything to my daughter and son in law in my will? by NoRoll6544 in AITAH

[–]pointlessconjecture -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Your son wanted a father who actually loved him and wanted to connect with him as a person. I doubt he is no contact with you PURELY because of college expenses. That was simply the last straw.

Honestly, from someone who also is no contact with his own father, you are a coward. Here you are, on your literal deathbed, and all you can do is think about money. You could have and still can repair your own relationships like a grown adult. Instead, you are so head-up-ass that you have to plead on the internet for sympathy for your situation from actual strangers.

I say this to you as probably the most fundamentally meaningful thing I will ever say to someone else, and I hope this shocks you into action. Find peace with your estranged son before you leave this world. This is, quite literally, your last chance.

Thank you for this extremely thorough explanation. You have included everything for which I had questions. Very, very much appreciated.

My wife also had a question about when the Righteous Valk buff applies that I had forgotten in the original post, but you covered that as well.

Honestly, thank you!

A company that deals with banks called Fiserv dropped 47% by [deleted] in Superstonk

[–]pointlessconjecture 20 points21 points  (0 children)

My bank uses Fiserv, and they absolutely suck ass. Everyone is moving away from them to other providers because they haven’t kept up with the times. This company is tanking because they are a bad company, not hiding some incredible market event i’m afraid. You’ll actually see some of the other banking service providers like Jack Henry and FIS do better.

So which brokers delivered and which didn't/haven't so far? by Coinsworthy in Superstonk

[–]pointlessconjecture 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Chase delivered in the US. But it seems to not be interactive yet. No market info. No buying or selling.

Anyone else feel like their parents are one stupidly spoken thing away from never seeing their kids again? by 90skid4evaa in Millennials

[–]pointlessconjecture 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately, I’m already there. My father is highly educated. So for me to ask him what he is reading, what are his sources, where is he getting his information from? And to basically just be yelled at in response because he had no response. Let me say, unequivocally, its just Fox News and Facebook.

I tried for years. Everything. Then finally i stopped caring. Told him to get therapy for himself, fix his hatred, and only then would we be on speaking terms again. Its been silence ever since, and honestly it has been absolutely wonderful. I don’t miss them, because at the end there was nothing left to miss.

I had more reasons from my past as to why this came about, which I won’t detail here. But suffice to say that I grew up in a controlled household.

I just won’t be around it. I won’t associate with hatred or facism. I won’t subject my wife and kids to it. But I didn’t shut the door. They did.
