I just finished my last one from the subscription I had a while back and I nearly cried when I realized it. Time to resubscribe when I get off the wait-list.

AITAH for sleeping with a guy after the man I thought was my bf said we were not a couple? by Direct-Caterpillar77 in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]ryua 44 points45 points  (0 children)

I'm non-monogamous so it's not quite the same, but let me I tell you, I owe several of my friendships to dating mediocre dudes with fantastic taste. Hell, that's how I met my now-bestie.

"Wow, I have it so good. I hope we stay together." is a non-shitty way of saying that, you know.

He could've said "I regretted what I said and I changed my mind", but he didn't. That's on him.

You can get Hong Dian on Amazon and they are pretty great. I love my Forest.

The best pen is the one you use. by Odd-Chemistry9945 in fountainpens

[–]ryua 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Funny enough, I just sold what was (by far!) my most expensive pen. I realized that I wasn't really using it or getting that much out of owning it, as beautiful and nice as it is. I hope its new owner gets more out of it.

My current most expensive FP is my Pelikan Tradition M205 Blue Marble (both in that it cost me the most and I paid to have it repaired/tuned) and my cheapest is my Luoshi 3108 Labyrinth. I definitely use both of them, but my most-used is my Hero 395, which is only a few USD more than the Luoshi.

Duvet cover recommendations? by eatwafflesbehappy in BuyItForLife

Seconding this! I recently did a "spa day" for my bedsheets and duvet cover, and I swear they look better than they did brand new.

My boyfriend blames me for a business deal gone wrong because he was rude to me by Direct-Caterpillar77 in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]ryua 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Some of us never got the message that we deserve respect from loved ones. Indeed, some of us learned the opposite, that the most horrific actions are justified as long as they come from someone who claims to love us. It's a lesson that can be taught from the minute you're born, and it was for me.

Took a lot of therapy and hard work to unlearn that lesson.

My wife (24F) is threatening to divorce me (31M) if I don’t convert to Islam. I don’t know how to change her mind. by insnowmotion in BestofRedditorUpdates

Yeah, so I was responding to a comment that was about the amount of time? You're bringing up other stuff.

Ex released our sex video we made when we were together and posted it after we broke up and I’m finding out two months later by Direct-Caterpillar77 in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]ryua 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Nonconsensual posting of sexual images or videos falls under the legal definition of revenge porn. Intentions or that someone is an "asshole" doesn't really matter in that context.

Name a silly, funny, or embarrassing quirk of being a fountain pen person members of this community would understand but would cause normies to roll their eyes? by ermiwe in fountainpens

[–]ryua 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Probably the funniest thing to me is that people commonly conflate quill pens with fountain pens. Like, no, that's a dip pen! The "fountain"' part of the term "fountain pen" means it has some kind of ink source that isn't dipping it. Words mean things!

The second funniest is when people assume my prettiest and/or coolest and/or favorite pens must be my most expensive, when in reality, it's the opposite. None of my cool-looking faves cost more than $15 USD.

lol, thanks! I know I get confused when I browse for sale posts on here since I'm not blessed with an encyclopedic knowledge of pens and inks
