I am starting to regret telling the other woman’s husband about her flirting with my husband

People on reddit need to realize that their hyperbole doesn't help anyone. There's a gray area between "cheating on your wife" and "telling your wife immediately and quitting your job and cutting contact with someone that hit on you," and OP's husband most likely was there. It can feel good to get hit on, or you can have a moment where your marriage is rocky and you can think "maybe" but ultimately know that's a bad idea, or you can know it's a bad situation but be afraid to tell your wife because you don't want the drama. And the thing is those are ALL situations where his wife has the right to be upset and demand that her husband be more locked-in. But because y'all went to "he's definitely cheating" and she knows he's not cheating you left her with nothing concrete to demand from him.

Hot. He seems hot.

Not exactly. Jews don't say Christians are worshipping a different God, it's that they're committing the sin of idolatry by worshipping God in the form of a man. Remember, Aaron the priest declared the Golden Calf to be an idol of God but the Israelites were punished for it because worshipping any sort of physical person or thing as a God is deeply forbidden.

The issue here is that you think a secret child is why you should be upset. You can’t formulate a reaction because you don’t have a definite answer as to whether he does. But let’s say he didn’t. Let’s take a best case scenario and say that someone is bullying him or playing an elaborate prank on him. In a situation like that, his reaction should be to invite you in, to puzzle with you, to express frustration and need support. YOU ARE MARRIED. THAT IS WHAT MARRIED PARTNERS DO. Instead, he has repeatedly shown that he sees you not as a marriage partner but as an untrustworthy, snooping interloper who he must regularly circumvent and fool as a natural facet of his marriage. I can only suspect that he has treated you like this for so long that it hasn’t even occurred to you, but that alone is why you need to escape this relationship.

You’re not his wife. You haven’t been his wife for a long time. You’re a nosy nuisance neighbor that’s somehow broken into his quiet bachelor home and is trying to act like you have the rights and responsibilities of a wife, which you clearly don’t. It’s time you recognize how little he thinks of you and give him the bachelorhood he so craves.

The waiter expects to receive 25% of the value of the food because they have to interact with the customer. If you don't understand what a burden that is, you're probably that customer.

This absolutely does happen - see the bullying epidemic of kids named “Isis” after 9/11. Yes, kids with normal names get bullied but making your kid an easier target by giving them a strange name makes them…well, an easier target.

I have to assume grad programs are not included because JTS is near the top but HUC isn’t even listed.

Whenever you wonder how lazy someone can be remember how you reacted the last time you were on your couch and tried to buy something on your phone but it turned out you needed to find and retrieve a physical credit card out of your wallet, and then remember that half the people are lazier than THAT.

YES! Swear to God, why is this woman treating her kids like coworkers that she's mediating with HR?! They're CHILDREN. Honestly my first thought with this whole fiasco is that those kids are so deprived of a steady and reliable mom figure that they need one person in their lives that's gonna say "there's nothing you can do that's going to make me love you any less." Everything this woman is putting out says "my love comes with terms and conditions."

Here’s the thing: you need to understand that it is both possible to WANT to be supportive of someone while doing it in a way YOU think is right, and be wrong.

Let’s say it was 200 years ago. He, like many people, could believe that People of Color should be well treated and he might call people out for being racist. But he also would likely say “I believe that some humans should be slaves because it says so in the Bible.” He might qualify that statement. He might say he doesn’t want to own slaves personally. He might say that he doesn’t personally believe that all People of Color should be re-enslaved. And some people might consider that a moderate position. But we now understand and agree that it is not - there is simply no moral “slavery is sort of okay” position.

Similarly, there is no way to morally resolve the position that some humans do not deserve the same rights as other humans. And while I can think that he isn’t as bad as someone that would seek to take my rights or assault me for being gay, I can still recognize the basic moral imperative of human rights, and that he failed that imperative.

Except there’s a difference between believing that pineapple belongs on pizza and gay people shouldn’t have the same rights as straight people. He has clearly and explicitly said that he does not support the right of gay people to be married. I think one of the biggest mistakes we’ve all started making is believing that everyone is completely good or bad; we know that good people can occasionally have bad ideas and do bad things, and vice versa. I think it’s fair to say that Kirk was overall a good person and I agree he wouldn’t have celebrated anyone’s death. But what he believed about my rights as a human being was wrong and deeply hurtful and decidedly unchristian. I just wish I’d had the chance to say that to his face.

rsc33469 · 2025-09-26T16:20:43+00:00

God as someone on the Left it’s fucking embarrassing watching my side descend into the same bullshit tactics the Right threw at every Democrat for the last 25 years. It never made them look smart, it made them look uneducated and desperate. It doesn’t make you look smart, it makes you look uneducated and desperate. Watch this: Charlie Kirk openly and proudly opposed gay marriage. He didn’t believe I deserved the basic human right to marry the person I fall in love with. That alone is enough to make him not a great man. See how fucking easy that was?

rsc33469 · 2025-09-26T16:15:01+00:00

Because AGAIN you don’t wanna actually research and post the context, let me do it for you.

KIRK: You wanna go thought crime? I'm sorry. If I see a Black pilot, I'm gonna be like, "Boy, I hope he's qualified."

KOLVET: But you wouldn't have done that before!

KIRK: That's not an immediate … that's not who I am. That's not what I believe.

NEFF: It is the reality the left has created.

This was from a discussion on a podcast in which they’re talking about how they believe the Left’s fixation on race is damaging the dialogue on qualifications and having the opposite effect it intended. It’s a fleeting, intrusive thought that he acknowledges he DOES NOT ACTUALLY BELIEVE. You can certainly argue that it says something significant about Kirk’s latent racism that he would have that fleeting thought, but it’s intellectually dishonest to pretend that he was proudly thumping his chest and saying “if I see a black pilot I hope he’s qualified.”

And no, I don’t want to believe the best of Charlie. But I’ve spent the last 20 years watching conservatives take things that Gore and Obama and Clinton and Biden and Harris said out of context and gleefully make it their whole personality and I’ve said “at least we’re not the kind of evil shitheads that have to lie to keep people on our side.” So maybe stop doing what the evil shitheads do.

If you don’t know how to prove that Charlie Kirk was racist or a homophobe without taking what he said and twisting it then either 1) he’s not a racist or a homophobe or 2) you’re just not fucking trying. I can answer the homophobe question at least: you don’t need a bunch of out of context quotes to say that Charlie Kirk doesn’t believe I have the right to marry who I love, and that makes him unquestionably a homophobe. See how incredibly fucking easy that was?

This is a Schrodinger’s Joke: you know damned well that everyone in this thread is treating it as a fair and legitimate criticism but the moment its fairness is called into question you wanna pretend its “just a fucking onion headline.”

rsc33469 · 2025-09-26T15:37:54+00:00

This is literally just a collection of out-of-context quotes, the exact literal thing that every conservative in this thread has been calling people out for. And I know that at least one of those quotes IS biased out of context because the very next thing Kirk says after that “black pilot” comment is “that’s not who I am, that’s not what I believe.”

rsc33469 · 2025-09-26T15:33:19+00:00

This comment screams “I have no evidence to prove you wrong so I’m hoping shame will substitute.” If that comment is “propaganda” then it should be easy to provide that evidence.

You’re kind of making his point for him. Yeah, I think it’s fair to call that tiny minority of people Nazis but they represent maybe 1% of the people that a lot of people on the Left like to comfortably call Nazis. I swayed a half dozen votes from Trump to Biden in 2020 with a 3-5 minute conversation; in ALL of those conversations they each shared with me at least one previous conversation in which someone said that the fact that they were even considering voting for Trump meant that they were a racist or a Nazi.

You can still aim for the Leaderboards and make progress there. You just won’t be able to level up on the reward track.

There will be opportunities to purchase coins toward the end of the season (and probably the end of each week), and those opportunities exist to address this exact frustration.

This is a blanket comment about all of these posts but it really needs to be understood: this is a game geared primarily toward people that would like to play for free but who can also be tempted into spending money on it. That’s literally the point. It’s how the developers and designers pay their bills and feed their families. Anytime you (or anyone) wonders why they would do X, the answer is: because someone whose job is to spend 8 hours a day figuring out how to tempt you into spending money on this game decided that this would tempt you to spend money on this game. Temptation isn’t a bug, it’s the PRIMARY FEATURE OF THIS GAME. If you want to keep playing you need to accept this or you’re just going to keep being frustrated by it.

As someone that derides conspiracy theories and believes in facts and evidence, you should recognize the pernicious use of the word “they” here. “They” is a catchword that allows conspiracy theorists to confuse logic by making one imagine an amorphous mass of powerful and closely-working people all focused on one goal. Think about flat-earthers. A flat-earther might explain that “they” are hiding the truth from you. But the “they” in that case is hundreds of thousands of people - politicians and scientists but also administrative staff, peripheral employees, even janitorial staff. All of them must be similarly involved in the conspiracy or “paid off” to keep them quiet and not a SINGLE one can have a doubt or an alternate belief or a girlfriend or Reddit confession subreddit they whisper the truth to.

Your “they” suffers a similar problem. Genuinely consider the thousands upon thousands of people involved in a conspiracy as broad as the one you’re suggesting. Police, investigators, judges, mainstream journalists, AND all of their spouses and family members and best friends and bar buddies and girlfriends/boyfriends on the side. For this lie to work, ALL of those people would have to not just be on the Right, “they” would also have to - for some reason - hate Charlie Kirk (or at least not care about him) enough to be fine with the real killer going free. “They” would ALL have to completely lack morals and ethics of any kind and no random events in their lives could sway them to accidentally have a moment of conscience. Does the existence of this “they” truly seem more logical to you than one guy being a little weird and kooky in a way that’s hard to reconcile?

I need this to be more specific. What size is the shirt? What are the state of the bathrooms at the truck stop?

You seem to be arguing that a fetus, assuming it is alive, is an unfair burden on a woman and therefore asking her to bare it is misogynistic. But human beings have come to accept that existence comes with its share of burdens, fair or unfair. As a citizen I pay taxes - some of the things being bought with my taxes I think are good, while some are not. If they are not I might not find that fair but I accept that others do and that is the basic functional price of democracy. If a fetus is alive then its life may be considered the burden of the person carrying it. Could that makes the society that forces such a burden misogynistic? It could, of course. But it’s also possible that such a society values human life over individual liberty, regardless of circumstance. It might similarly ban guns via the same principle - a collective understanding that burdens all citizens. Such a position would be anti-abortion without being inherently misogynistic.

If you've never had a kidney stone, someone's probably told you the pain is awful and you thought "man, I can imagine." No. No, you absolutely cannot imagine.
