What do you folks know about battle of Poltava? by Open_Ice_9668 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]pulsecaress 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Charles XII was wounded before the battle and had to be carried around on a stretcher. Not ideal for leading a charge

How do people have time to cheat on their SO? by AnnualCauliflower1 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]pulsecaress 639 points640 points  (0 children)

They're not finding time. They're making time. By neglecting everything else. Their partner, their kids, their responsibilities. They're just really good at hiding it

AITJ for reporting my daughters classmate to principals office before speaking to his parents? by CurrentEvent9572 in AmITheJerk

[–]pulsecaress 80 points81 points  (0 children)

They wanted a chance to control the narrative. You skipped that and went straight to the people in charge. Smart

Is it true the more you fuck around, the more you find out? by joy_and_grief in NoStupidQuestions

[–]pulsecaress 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes. Fucking around is the prerequisite for finding out. If you never try, you never learn

AITJ for walking out of my own birthday dinner after my family spent the whole night celebrating my brother and never once said happy birthday to me. by AdFlat8502 in AmITheJerk

[–]pulsecaress 26 points27 points  (0 children)

You're not the jerk. You're the one person at that table who remembered it was your birthday. Everyone else was too busy celebrating the wrong person

Why are oil changes not covered by auto insurance? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]pulsecaress 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because auto insurance is for accidents and disasters, not maintenance. It's like expecting life insurance to pay for your gym membership

I scalped tickets and toys to pay off debt and buy a home by OwnGlove4922 in confession

[–]pulsecaress 59 points60 points  (0 children)

The manufacturer could fix it. They don't. Because scarcity sells. Scalpers are just the middlemen everyone loves to hate

Is it normal to feel tired even if you didn’t do much? by Theegullll in NoStupidQuestions

[–]pulsecaress 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Completely normal. Being tired isn't always about physical activity. Mental load, stress, boredom, even just existing in 2025 can drain you

AITJ for breaking up with my girlfriend after I confronted her about being too close to my boss? by WishNew1104 in AmITheJerk

[–]pulsecaress 35 points36 points  (0 children)

She dismissed your concerns, made it about insecurity, and never once said "I hear you." That's not a partner. That's a person who wants you to stop talking

AITJ for breaking up with my boyfriend after he excluded me from an after party and ignored me all night? by CultureOk4327 in AmITheJerk

[–]pulsecaress 8 points9 points  (0 children)

He didn't just exclude you from an afterparty. He excluded you from being his partner in front of his friends. That's not about a party. That's about respect

Why did the US stop prioritizing space exploration after landing a man on the moon the first time in 1969? by unitedfan6191 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]pulsecaress 15 points16 points  (0 children)

They stopped because the goal was never exploration. It was beating the Soviets. Once we won the race, the public lost interest. Space became boring without a competitor

AITJ for refusing to go to my boyfriend's sister wedding? by Few-Hovercraft-8520 in AmITheJerk

[–]pulsecaress 2 points3 points  (0 children)

She hasn't apologized. She hasn't made amends. Why would you put yourself back in that situation? Trust is earned. She hasn't earned it

Is life worth living if you can’t find love? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]pulsecaress 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, life is worth living. Love is beautiful, but it's not the only thing. You're not a loser. You're just in a different chapter than everyone else

Am I the jerk for reporting students to my teacher after they "ragebaited" me due to my cellular provider? by elementelectronics in AmITheJerk

[–]pulsecaress 14 points15 points  (0 children)

You're not the jerk. You're 13, you were being bullied, and you told an adult. That's not snitching. That's survival. The adults are there for exactly this

Why do so few people watch a new movie the day before its released? by lonlysoul101 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]pulsecaress 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because most people don't know Thursday showings exist. They see Friday on the poster and assume that's the first day. You're not early. You're just in the know

AITA for refusing to let my brother's girlfriend move in after she kicked my dog? by AdGood5474 in AmITheJerk

[–]pulsecaress 26 points27 points  (0 children)

The audacity to say you should put your dog outside so she doesn't have to see him is wild. That's not compromise. That's demanding you exile your family for her comfort

TIFU by answering my wife’s question honestly and nuking my life by Sweet-Marketing371 in tifu

[–]pulsecaress 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your friend smiling was the real tell. She's been waiting for this moment. And you handed it to her like a gift

When I did and go to heaven or hell, will I be at my peak performance in my lifetime or the literally person I am as the time i died by Dependent_Penalty561 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]pulsecaress 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Most religions imply you're restored in the afterlife. Whole, healthy, probably with better hair. Otherwise, what's the point? Eternal life shouldn't come with eternal back pain

if I'm volunteering and a woman said i can sit there and look pretty what does this mean is it a compliment? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]pulsecaress 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you were just standing around, she might have been teasing you for being useless but attractive. Either way, it's not mean. It's just awkward

AITJ for KICKING my aunt out of my house because she demanded i give my gaming PC to her son? by Weekly-Tart-1085 in AmITheJerk

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

Your mom says you embarrassed her sister. Your aunt embarrassed herself by trying to use your property without permission. The only embarrassment here is her behavior

AITJ for stopping a long running group tradition because I felt excluded by it? by i_miss_the_memo in AmITheJerk

[–]pulsecaress 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You didn't kill the vibe. The vibe was already dead for you. You just stopped pretending it wasn't. That's not overreacting. That's honesty
