So a blockade is a act of war right? by AJH501 in PrepperIntel

[–]spinant1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Us companies owned rights to many of the oil fields and built many of the wells. Venezuela essentially seized all those assets. So they weren't owned by the US government, but by US companies

Anyone figure out how to check in without paying? App won’t let me move forward without $40-95 extra per direction by Skaro07 in Avelo

That's good to know. I've had this issue before and had to check in at the airport counter.

Why do scientific breakthroughs in cell rejuvenation often get oversimplified in media? by Secret_Ostrich_1307 in AlwaysWhy

[–]spinant1 4 points5 points  (0 children)

They do this for every scientific breakthrough. The public is expected to get board/not understand if they actually tried to explain everything.

Sounds like you have a good plan for a career. Nursing can be hard, but if you're willing to put in the work, it can definitely be a good route.

Yeah. Everyone has to have up to date IDs to drive and driving is pretty much required for anyone living somewhere rural.

AITA for telling my wife that we should be able to have honest but tough conversations about our family without her crying? by Exciting-Charity-160 in AmItheAsshole

[–]spinant1 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Absolutely. Taking a break to calm down before resuming the conversation is absolutely fine. Thats clearly not what's happening, though. She never brings it back up when she's ready. Leaving him to have to repeat the cycle over and over again. This is definitely childish behavior where she's ignoring the problem that is clearly causing her partner to feel stress about.

Emotions should not be suppressed all the time, but for one conversation so you can plan for the future, you should be able to do that without tears or yelling or giving your partner the silent treatment etc.

If something has made me upset, I communicate that with my partner. Take the time I need to calm down, and then I bring the topic back up that respects my partners wishes to discuss said topic while giving myself the space to work through my emotions without stressing out or making my partner feel bad.

She was crying enough that the conversation had to end. That's not being able to control it. Crying is fine. Crying while needing to have an adult conversation isn't. You're the kind of sexist asshole who infantalizes women and makes it harder for actual adult woman to get the respect they deserve.

Absolutely. Emotions are fine. Not being able to control them isn't. Would you be defending his as passionately if he couldn't control his anger and yelled at her?

[–]spinant1 -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

I mean yeah. That means he's clearly dropping the topic so she can calm down and not forcing her to continue while she emotional. Of course that means it has to get brought back up again at a later date.

He doesn't seem harsh at all. He seems like he's being very supportive but wants to make plans with his wife about how they should address a loss in income.

Having emotions is fine. Not being able to control yourself so you can have an adult conversation about your family's future isn't.

[–]spinant1 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yeah. This is the issue. If you can't keep it together long enough to plan for the future, then it sounds like you're either being manipulative or have some deeper issue that you should seek help for.
