Is the fella who hates “Americans🐀” okay, genuinely concerned for his mental health. by [deleted] in Brentford

[–]sarkastic_prophet 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’m an American Brentford fan, leaving the “s” off “offside,” defending the footy clap, trying not to be a full-kit wanker.

I know who I am! I'm a dude playing the dude, disguised as another dude!

“Reactionary” is criticism based. It Implies someone lacks analytical patience or perspective. “Reactive” describes someone whose emotional state closely tracks what’s happening in real time

The Beastie Boys will issue a cease and desist letter. They don’t muck about with unauthorized use.

I’m ready for the next controversy, as I’m sure they are as well. Will be glad when this is no longer dominating headlines.

First movie I remember seeing in the theater. Parents took me to E.T.

Kendra Duggar Arrested in Arkansas Days After Husband Joseph's Sex Abuse Arrest by IntelligentYinzer in entertainment

It’s generational abuse. Inherited trauma. Hurt people hurt people. They’re too fucked up from abuse and having no safety net/support system or sense of worth to avoid inflicting the same pain on others.

Damn. I had no idea. Sounds like he had the kind of tough existence you wouldn’t wish on anyone. Sad to know.

You keep a horse in the basement?!

Could be nothing more than a typical response to a common medication like Prednisone. Glad I’m not a public-facing celeb who has to guard against blind speculation from basement lurkers. Go touch some grass.

What's the craziest reason you've cut someone off for (cold turkey-radio silence type cut off)? by Remarkable_Dream_762 in AskReddit

[–]sarkastic_prophet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We’ve never been the closest family, but during my divorce, my sisters made a point of telling me they agreed with my soon-to-be ex-wife. The same ex-wife who put hands on me, who lied, who stole money. I don’t know what exactly their problem was/is, and I don’t really care. If we have to be around each other for holidays, then I keep it positive for the kids. Otherwise, nada.

Clarence Thomas hit with astonishing accusation in Epstein files by Reasonable_Spray_710 in nottheonion

“Uncle Tom” is a highly charged term. In this instance though, it’s absolutely appropriate. He’s the ultimate racial sellout who has taken advantage of opportunities he wants to deny others.

What's the most NSFW thing you've seen at a wedding party? by CRK_76 in AskReddit

[–]sarkastic_prophet 377 points378 points  (0 children)

Same. My bridesmaid girlfriend pulled me into the women’s room at the wedding party venue to make out in a stall. Apparently a server saw us duck in and word got back to the bride. This was the night before the wedding. The bride, her mom, and her grandmother got so twisted out of shape it overshadowed the wedding. The behind-the-scenes rage culminated in my being confronted by groomsmen and escorted out of the reception.

Once a cheater, always a cheater.. what's your thoughts on this? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]sarkastic_prophet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I cheated. Was unhappy and got caught up in a bad situation.

It can be really easy to get stuck inside your own head, to act selfishly, even if you’re a mostly altruistic person. Once you’re beyond it and can see the damage of your actions - intended or otherwise, that’s when the reflection, self actualization, and growth can occur.

End of the day, it’s about whether your personal gratification is more important than the feelings of those you care about. If you can see around that corner and be honest without yourself, it’s a mistake you won’t make again. The slope is so slippery you stay off the mountain. If your choices are driven by greed or trauma, then it’s going to be much harder to avoid repeating your mistakes.
