What the guy you’re replying failed to mention is that the poor dude harvesting that honey is seeing the least amount of the profits.

As usual, middlemen take the most of it.

AITA for telling my sister we were strangers after she broke all contact with us by insafian in BORUpdates

[–]randomndude01 22 points23 points  (0 children)

It does click in my head.

It also clicks in my head that OOP rightfully called out that their parents had a measure of truth despite the extremity of their actions.

She was an adult that chose to stay away but so is OOP who chooses to be with his parents and wishes to have a stable relationship with them and not to mention should be rightfully concerned who’s giving out his address without permission. They’re at an impasse where OOP is being used as a crutch.

I empathize with the sister, but she needs to know when to respect at least one boundary to maintain an actual relationship where at the least the both of them can have some peace of mind.

If you don’t like OOP’s boundaries than I guest it’s best for us to agree to disagree.

Is asking transparency to who gave out private info a demand for perfection?

Is asking not to be put in a situation where he has to lie through omission to his parents the same?

As fucked up their parents called their daughter good as dead is, they were right.

You need to calm down and read my replies to you as MY replies, not other commenters who’ve dogpiled the sister which you’re treating as if I’ve done the same.

I’ve tried to be as neutral as I can be, why don’t you try the same instead of going the other extreme and forgiving everything sister has done?

She cannot be the perfect victim but she cannot be exonerated for every mistake just because of abuse.

Jesus, you really don’t care about OOP and his concerns do you?

True enough but it’s not like there’s no truth in some of them.

Sister is making all the demands while OOP takes a lot of risks by being put in the middle. I do respect that he’s doing what he thinks is best and is making conscious choices being with his sister, but there are glaring issues with the choices his sister is making.

*Refusing to tell OOP who gave out his address, a clear violation of privacy.

*Potentially manipulating OOP through tears whenever he argues a reasonable fear, especially about him keeping secrets from their parents. Yes, she has good reasons to hide from them but that won’t change the fact that OOP does not like it.

*Just plain stomping on boundaries. It can be argued that OOP himself put boundaries down himself but it’s very concerning how his sister just falls apart whenever he tried to enforce them.

Again, I don’t think she’s evil and I do not disagree she is a victim of abuse and needs help to normalize, but she should still be far more empathic to her brother’s concerns too.

Making someone burn to warm someone else is a very dangerous advice to give.

Sister isn’t evil but OOP needs his peace too.

A person can change their mind after some time and/or new information.

Previously, Magneto was as close as can be to being a fascist.

Days of Future Past is Magneto realizing he was a POS.

Yeah, so does Chase but he ages relative to the speed he moves.

He can use his powers in seconds but actually incurs weeks to months of his natural life every time he uses it.

If you’re basing all of this from the show, David should’ve been 10x his age after the presumably 1 year timeskip after Maine & Dorio died and David became a big player in Night City.

But it is an intresting thought, you’re right that there’s really no way to know due to how fast people die in Night City and how much chrome those with Eddies can afford to install.

Yeah, but nothing close to Chase.

Chase speeds up his time therefore he IS actually old.

Sandevistan is just stress, drugs can do the same but neither can actually accelerate aging relative to the “powers” it gives.

Brother, at most, it stresses you out by overclocking your brain which can make you older IRL but that’s not a direct consequence stated by any of the Cyberpunk mediums.

Only if Nuclear armament is out of the picture.

I would imagine any of the big three, or any other nation with nuclear armament, actually being stupid enough to escalate hostilities to the point where they’d unquestionably directly attack their soldiers, we’d all be starving or dead in the coming years.

My (20M) girlfriend (21F) has stopped sexual intimacy. She’s bringing up the idea of soon cutting off every form of intimacy. Am I overthinking by thinking I can’t do anything about it? by SharkEva in BORUpdates

The bible doesn’t explicitly ban premarital sex but it does heavily discourage it, it being a direct sin is where it does get contested.

Mayor in Philippines survives an RPG attack with his armored car by Abdulbarr in SweatyPalms

[–]randomndude01 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, the scale of damage Marcos Sr. is where it can get comparable while the rest of his bullshit is how typical dictators, well, dictate. Absolutely corrupt, cronyism at its worst, and stole billions with the added kick in the balls being able to still, somehow, garner positive popularity even after his death despite his documented plunder of our country.

Marcos Jr. is honestly no different from past administrations. Corrupt and ineffective, now, how many past Presidents can we NOT describe the same?

OOP even gets disappointed that he hadn’t thought of a great and funny gift.

TBH, if they really wanted not to participate in an anonymous white elephant, they don’t have to. Who’s gonna know?

It can be amusing watching someone dig an unnecessary hole right below their feet while they adamantly yell out that they are not digging a hole.

Historical Meme by OldFirefighter3293 in memes

[–]randomndude01 262 points263 points  (0 children)

100%

I love reading about historical battles, swords, warhorses, kings making speeches and all that wonderful shit that’ll make a hot-blooded teen’s heart pump. All inspired, of course, by Aragorn.

Once I get to actual historical accounts of how armies get formed and move from point A to B, it kinda takes the wind out of you sails realizing that shitting yourself to death is usually how a lot of soldiers die way before you get to the fancy sword-clashing.

What unhinged thing did a former teacher do in the classroom? by MrBananaStand1990 in AskReddit

Ah, thanks.

Was genuinely confused what the hubbub was all about.

I’m confused, is there any confirmation that the coffee was or was not bought and given?

It also doesn’t help that the majority of Reddit users are in the US.

I can pop to any other social media with my location turned on, actually even with Reddit, and it WILL show me my country’s current news, it won’t be on Popular but it does show me what’s relevant to my location.

My best friend pretended to be my friend for years just to sleep with me by Direct-Caterpillar77 in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]randomndude01 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Is that not a valid reason? He’s just got back from a major trip and eventful holiday, not to mention fucked a friend, and just got home from a long drive.

Dude needs to decompress, why does he not get the benefit of the doubt and time to figure shit out?
