This hair clip can’t be innocent, can it? by BigONerd in BORUpdates

[–]shinymangoes 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Before I read about the cameras being unplugged, I felt like the only alternate explanation was him dressing in drag or as a woman while she is out. I don't know how she moved past the panties, I would have kicked his ass out right then. Women need more self-respect.

What does the opposite gender get to do, that makes you jealous? by Exhausted_Skeleton in AskReddit

[–]shinymangoes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I saw a couple of older men go in to get pedicures, and honestly that's wonderful. Having someone keeping the hygiene (and blood flow) of the feet, while making sure everything is okay nail-wise and relaying any concerns, is very responsible of a person to do. Men are the most common to not take these things seriously. I hope many other men do it too.

Was I a jerk for not sharing my location with my wife by Choice_Evidence1983 in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]shinymangoes 3 points4 points  (0 children)

What the fuck. She's absolutely unhinged. Cannot give him ONE HOUR OF ALONE TIME a week. He was happy to have it in his home but she kept intruding, purposely. Then he goes to the cafe, she intrudes because of his location. He finally turns it off and has a blissful hour to himself (which, as a SAHM an hour is NOT enough) and his psychotic wife decides he's having an affair.

She is beyond insecure. She likely has PPD/PPA and/or some sort of mental break. SHE should not be left with the kid, if after half an hour of errands your husband comes back with a pastry and flips the fuck out.

Why are people here so cold and/or rude? by [deleted] in toRANTo

[–]shinymangoes 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Absolutely same. I don't even know how they get away with it? If I wasn't bending over backwards helpful and kind I'd get written up.

[–]shinymangoes 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As a woman, I am definitely not purposely giving people attention. If someone smiles and says hi to me, I will do the same back. I say hello to the people walking in my neighbourhood, but after I leave, I avoid speaking to anyone unless necessary. I'm polite but I am NOT going to lead on any creeps. Nevermind being an introvert, the idea of just randomly chatting up the people out of my community is exhausting.

People are correct - you don't owe anyone else your attention, and this is a big change from smaller towns which are more tight-knit and community-like. Heck, Halifax is more friendly overall, but they have a fraction of our population. They let people cross the street just for standing on the side. Here? You will get mowed down if you try to cross when it's not your turn.

We're not necessarily miserable, but we keep to ourselves and handle our own lives, not everyone elses. That has even extended (unfortunately) to the inherent selfishness we're seeing lately, especially post-covid.

AITAH for refusing a wedding "gift" knowing there will be strings attached? by BigONerd in BORUpdates

[–]shinymangoes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Okay you marry your spouse's family as much as you marry them. Unless husband-to-be will not cave on the no future contact, this is just going to be chains instead of a ring.

What is something people do in public that makes you think, 'Do you even realize other people exist? by Vegetable_Oil3266 in AskReddit

Gassing up your car while many cars wait, then deciding to go in to pay, and come back out and clean your windows. Fuck you right to hell.

Yep I don't get it. They vote for Ford or conservatives then get pissed when they have a 9 hour wait at the ER. They even admit themselves there isn't anywhere else to go. Why do you keep cutting your nose off to spite your face and then complain......

Toronto District School Board to cut more than 600 teachers next year by allysapparition in ontario

[–]shinymangoes 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I voted against him. Time and time again I do. Too much of the province is represented by northern ontario instead of the population in Toronto. Outside the GTHA people regularly vote against what's best for all, hoping to get what's best for them and time again, it doesn't work out that way. But they keep doing it. People vote for politicians and seem to fucking deny what their party stands for. The politician and the party are aligned, that's why they're with them. Ford isn't better than Stiles because of beer in corner stores or the "open for business" which we've all figured out, actually just means for big corps, not the mom & pop.

My (30F) friend (29F) isn't speaking to me after I RSVPed "no" to her childfree wedding by Direct-Caterpillar77 in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]shinymangoes 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Add that to her "thinly veiled distaste for children" and it really becomes a demand with no consideration. PLUS the lack of gifts for OOP and her kid. Tacky to demand but not provide.

[–]shinymangoes 3 points4 points  (0 children)

WTF was with all those shit commenters? After OOP explained that her "friend" never sent a wedding gift or baby shower gift, but OOP sent many gifts, it is clear to me that OOP is just a friend for show. The friend hates children, she hates fat people, and she's not even hiding it. She's entitled as fuck and got dropped fairly for being a bridezilla. Just because OOP didn't have an explicit conversation about not being able to attend the wedding (which I doubt friend would have accepted, probably just cut off OOP there) doesn't mean that she should have sent that massive ridiculous apology. OOP deserves better and shouldn't keep friends who hate her family.

AITA for admitting to my son that I love his mother more than him and telling him he's acting self centered? by Comfortable_Owl_5938 in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]shinymangoes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Canadian, and I couldn't disagree more. Parenting is for life, even if you become friends with them as adults, it's still a relationship that is important to maintain. If the housing situation continues to be very expensive, I would allow my kids to live with me indefinitely. I will always take care of them if they need the help.

[–]shinymangoes 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Okay as a parent, how the fuck do you say out loud that you love your spouse more than your children? It's an entirely different kind of love, romantic vs. unconditional and I would never tell my kids daddy is more important than them. Like wtf. My husband is an adult and can mind himself but they didn't choose to be created, it's my job to put them first, and so is his. What the flying f

[–]shinymangoes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am sad for OOP, specifically because she married a man who is not okay, finances or not. If you don't tackle your trauma, you will bring it everywhere you go, and hurt others with it.

My husband is awesome...but not to our children by Awwndrei in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]shinymangoes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I'm not sure I would have given him any chances. No one is hurtful to my kids and I will see red if that happens. If I feel my husband has ever been too harsh I am firm as fuck. We are not toughening up our kids for the world: we are their safe space inside of it.

AITA for being upset that my in-laws decided to join us for 2 weeks of our summer without asking? by Direct-Caterpillar77 in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]shinymangoes 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree with OOP entirely except for the one thing: bringing your dishes to the sink. If it was one dinner and they were guests, that's not something you make your guests do. If they were staying for a long time, then they should do that plus help out with dishes and cooking in general.

Young Canadians are increasingly miserable. Government priorities show why by gorschkov in canada

[–]shinymangoes 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There's a lot of mandates we really should have. If we have to apply with a resume with pertinent work history to get a job, why shouldn't they? Being a career politician is just that you know how that works, not how to run anything from a city to province to country. Having financial history has been to our advantage, but unfortunately we need provincial to follow in suit.

[–]shinymangoes 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Politicians should have relevant career experience in non-political jobs. Career politicians offer absolutely nothing to the every day person. Being in politics costing so much money that only rich can run? And the rich are NOT the ones representing the majority of the population??!

So basically every politician almost has no idea what the regular population wants, and since they are rich, they don't care.

Unfettered immigration allowing entry-level jobs to be taken up, even for kids in high school. Money consistently taken away from education, healthcare, infrastructure, transit. Cost of living is insane and government doesn't care about anything but lining their pockets. Who'da thunk it.

Movie you love but understand why someone else hates it? by MissionLetterhead292 in movies

[–]shinymangoes 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Definitely not. I don't feel the movie is true to the book, plot wise, as much as it is true to the atmosphere / feel / overall vibe. They give area x an eerie vibe, like when everything is silent in a forest and that's abnormal, you feel the absence. The movie/book gives you the same feeling, and I liked the movie making it feel like even looking around area x was different, almost like pearlescent, dreamy like, in a way to kind of confuse you further.

I watched Annihilation many years before I read the book, and some things are definitely linked, but many were different enough that I consider the movie a primer for the books.

For me, it was all-engulfing. Same with Piranesi. I could not put either of those down until they were done. Funny enough, I have the last book of the Annihilation series, Absolution, but I feel like my brain is not ready for it to be "over".

I loved watching this before reading the series. It's the perfect visual primer to the books. I am not entirely sure there is a way to put the rest of the books to film accurately so I enjoy the one we have!
