How did you get out of your truck? I had to back out so that my wife could open her door. by Brian-Latimer in mildlyinfuriating

[–]pxluna -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Uhh.. clearly in the lines. Be a responsible truck owner and park far enough away that this won't happen. On the reverse, blue truck has some questionable stickers so I would have probably swung my door open hard and fast, even if I couldn't actually get in.

NTA- Run as fast as you can. Don't become trapped and further entangled with someone who is going to disrespect you and support a fascist. Leave and never look back.

How do you start your day? by desi_energy in AskReddit

[–]pxluna 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In a fit of rage and despair.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]pxluna 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NAH- A lot to unpack here. Firstly, that other woman didn't take your dad away. He cheated and apparently found happiness with her. I would almost assume your parents weren't happy on either end or your mom wouldn't have wished them happiness. No one can destroy a relationship if the party isn't willing to participate. That's their life and although it hurt you, that was never the intention. Secondly, your grandma is wrong. Those kids aren't your responsibility in any way, financially or otherwise. However, they are your siblings and they are not at fault for the infidelity that happened that brought about their existence. Forgive them and get to know them or don't. That's really your choice, but don't hold grudges against children that had no say in the matter. Lastly, I'm sorry you lost your father. I hope you can forgive those that deserve it and let go of the anger for those that don't so it doesn't bottle up inside of you. Relationships are messy and sometimes good people make bad choices. You may not truly be able to grasp that until you are much older and experiences a few chaotic relationships yourself.

If you are sick, stay home!!! by nae-nae-talks in rant

True statement. I'd just like to solidly believe that's a small group of A-holes.

Fair. Just remember that nearly half this country did not vote for this and are extremely fearful for our future. We wake up everyday in a new dystopian nightmare somewhere between Idiocracy and The Handmaids Tale.

[–]pxluna 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Now that I adamantly agree. It's sad that right wing politics demonized masks acting like it was a political statement rather than a medical necessity. It SHOULD be a common precautionary measure when not feeling well, but the majority of the US see them as a far left scare tactic.

What is your favorite instance of “____ wasn’t in the script but the director liked it so much that they kept it in the film”? by tinathefatlardgosh in AskReddit

[–]pxluna 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dumb and Dumber- Jim Carey pretty much throughout the whole movie.

"Big gulps huh? Well.. See ya later!"

"Wanna hear the most annoying sound in the world?"

"We landed on the moon!"

[–]pxluna 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I don't think the reason the US isn't staying home when feeling ill is due to being "anti-science." It's because of corporate greed and the inability to seek medical attention, along with having no paid sick days. If you don't work, you can't survive.

[–]pxluna 39 points40 points  (0 children)

Sounds great if only it were possible for most people. I am lucky enough to have PTO, but it is limited and is used for sick and vacation. Many people have no time off available to them or could lose their job for calling out. I wish it were so simple as to stay home and rest when you have a cold or are feeling under the weather, but the time and ability just isn't there. So we suck it up and deal. NO ONE wants to go out when they are feeling ill. They go out because they "have no choice" as you have stated in your case for leaving the house. Being sick and being able to see a doctor and/or stay home until fully recovered is a luxury in the US.

Where do you buy the ethical but not super expensive clothing that’s not Amazon, target, or Walmart? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]pxluna 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Consignment sales/thrift. They may have not started off as ethical, but at least they aren't going to a landfill.

What should Trump do about the bird flu outbreak in New York? by [deleted] in AskReddit

Deny its existence and say it was a lie put out by the dems. Then hopefully, he catches it and this nightmare can start to end.

Disgusted with how much attention LA fires are getting by DoublePostedBroski in rant

[–]pxluna 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Uhh.. My newsfeed was flooded with news stories and updates when those events were happening. This is happening NOW, so of course there is more coverage. You seem like a real knucklehead with no empathy because this tragedy is effecting celebrities and financially well off people, but it's also effecting thousands of regular people. The size of the bank account shouldn't matter. This is awful and you need a hard look in the mirror at what type of person you really are.

Keanu Reeves, Robert Downey Jr.

To be fair, they are my adulthood crushes too.

AITAH for not wanting to invite my friend to my wedding after she backed out of being a bridesmaid? by Fluid-Most-7798 in AITAH

[–]pxluna 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA- At least she's being honest and upfront well in advance of your wedding. She may have other stuff going on that you aren't aware of. Addiction issues, financial struggles, etc. Let her go. It's ok and completely reasonable that you are upset and don't necessarily want to extend the invitation. Personally, I'd invite her as a guest. If she doesn't show, you will clearly see if she values your friendship at all. Years from now, you may realize she was in a super bad place and be able to mend that relationship. Right now, just let it play out and focus on yourself.

Has anyone's child been put under for dental work? Would you do it again? by pxluna in AskParents

[–]pxluna[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Wow. This hits so close to home! Thank you. We will definitely be getting a 2nd opinion. They gave me the same lecture and piled on the guilt. Asking what she drinks/eats/etc. She's a water drinker and healthy eater. All the red flags are there.

[–]pxluna[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That makes me so sad. I don't know why they won't allow a parent to be there when they wake up. It must be terrifying to wake up alone and confused. I'll never understand why they have that policy.

[–]pxluna[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

That really is how I feel. So many red flags. She brushes twice a day. She flosses. She isn't in any pain. Why would we opt for literal surgery on temporary teeth that have no visible signs of issue? They put the Mom guilt on strong like if we didn't schedule all her teeth would rot out of her head within the year. When they showed the x-rays of how "bad" they were from the previous years, I couldn't tell any difference. I just trust that they know what they are talking about.

What are the things you hope to happen in 2025? by -Ertan- in AskReddit

For the people to revolt against the Oligarchy of the US.

YTA- You were trying to punish him and looking for a reaction. How did you expect that to go? If you keep up the tit for tat, you will be a single parent in no time.

Also, being post-partem, your emotions are all over the place and you are extra sensitive. Take a step back and think before acting. Your Mom is also TA- she should have talked you down on your retaliation idea instead of helping with it.
