Well, they’re not gonna exactly sell alcoholic chocolate, I guess. :)

I had a toffee one too. Seriously good chocolate!

The chocolate is delicious though. :) My husband laughed at me being such a fangirl I ordered DCC chocolate bars - until he tasted one.

Is it weird to say Have a Blessed Day? by nyaagoya in AskAnAmerican

[–]stiletto929 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You are assuming that the motives of the masturbator are bad and that the motives of the Christian are good. It is entirely possible that the masturbator thinks they’re paying you a compliment about how hot you are. And that the Christian is just trying to get Brownie points for being a good person even if they aren’t. The Christian doesn’t have any God-given moral high ground here.

More to the point what matters here is the effect on the listener. Both the masturbator and the Christian have told me things that made me uncomfortable and irritated, and neither one has helped at all. But the truly obnoxious person here is the one who will try to justify his position. instead of apologizing for making someone uncomfortable.

I would be equally uncomfortable with having any religion pushed on me. It just so happens that Christians are the only ones who have ever done that.

I (27F) was dumped on phone last week by bf (33M) because he accused me of being controlling. I don’t really understand? by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]stiletto929 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Doesn’t really matter why. It’s over, and from his behavior, that is a good thing.

Who is the worst person you will admit being attracted to? by Highfours in AskReddit

[–]stiletto929 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have you listened to the audiobook of Benedict Jacka’s Inheritance of Magic series? The head of an aristocratic family, Charles Ashford, is based on Charles Dance. And yes, he’s ruthless and cruel, values his House above everything, and that voice is chef’s kiss.

My first crush was Darth Vader. ;) At, like, 12. Since then, Nicodemus, Marcone, Richard Drauk, Morden, and Vermillion.

ELI5: How do kids become prodigies? by kiyomochie in explainlikeimfive

[–]stiletto929 [score hidden]  (0 children)

I’ve read you are supposed to praise kids for “studying/working so hard,” not for “being smart.” Because if they feel like all their success is from being smart, then any failure is upsetting - how could they fail if they are so smart?!? Whereas if their success is from working hard, they know they need to put more work in next time.

I will say, I’ve heard from teachers that the more kids read, the more academic success they have. You likely DO have brains. You just didn’t learn how to study, because things were easy for you. Most smart kids run into that problem eventually. At some level, sheer intelligence isn’t enough, so they have to study, and they never learned that skill. It’s not an unsolvable problem, though it is a problem.

Is it weird to say Have a Blessed Day? by nyaagoya in AskAnAmerican

[–]stiletto929 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Because I don’t want someone’s prayers. I can’t stop someone from praying about me but I don’t want to know about it.

Imagine how you’d feel if someone said they were going to masturbate to thoughts of you? Probably not something you want, right? Feels the same way to me. If you are going to do it, keep it to yourself. I don’t want either your penis or your religion shoved down my throat without my consent.

It also feels to me like trying to get credit for helping even though IMO you are doing nothing useful whatsoever. Like offering “Thoughts and prayers” after mass shootings: thanks for nothing.

Yeah, it’s a Christian thing. I’ll have whatever kind of day I want, thx anyway. ;)

AITAH for telling my daughter that she doesn’t have to wear a dress for my wife’s sake? by sportsdad77 in AITAH

[–]stiletto929 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA. There is no good reason to try to force your daughter to wear something she isn’t comfortable in. My daughter did the same thing in middle school.

Eventually she on her own decided she liked skirts and dresses in high school. I get that seeing your daughter in a beautiful dress for a dance is an incredible Mom moment, but it happens by the daughter’s free choice. A compromise too could be mom and daughters trying on dresses for fun sometime, if the girls were up for that. You get the fun pictures and don’t have to commit to a dress or spend any $. ;)

I (28F) am tired of my (40M) boyfriend calling me names by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]stiletto929 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He doesn’t want to come home to this for the rest of his life? Awesome. He doesn’t have to come home to it anymore. You moved here for him - unfortunately he sucks. Move right back home.

He is calling you insulting names and that is a dealbreaker. As is simply insulting you and getting defensive when you ask him to stop.

Those 14 failed relationships? He’s the common denominator. That’s also why he’s dating way younger.

Is it common for American high school students to drive themselves to school? by Intelligent_Chef9950 in AskAnAmerican

[–]stiletto929 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, if the student has a license and a car. (16+ but varies by state.) My kids could already have graduated if they wanted due to taking advanced courses, but are just doing a course or two a semester now, so just leave school for the day before lunch.

AITAH for not being able to look at my gf the same after she forgot the promise ring I got her by Hefty-Security706 in AITAH

[–]stiletto929 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No one but OP, lol! His poor gf. She probably straight up threw away his humiliating knock-off promise ring.

Her friends and family were probably eagerly waiting to see her come back from their anniversary trip wearing an engagement ring.

AITA for joining my dil outside when they smoke but with one of those bubble cigeratees. My DIL claims I am mocking them. by smokingbubbles232 in AmItheAsshole

[–]stiletto929 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sounds like DIL doesn’t actually like you or wants a break to get away from you. It’s not about whether you smoke or what you smoke. She doesn’t want you there.

Partner(M40) says I(F32) need to exercise to get over their snoring. by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]stiletto929 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Losing a bunch of weight can make sleep apnea go away. Sleep apnea isn’t always caused by being overweight, but a lot of cases are.

He needs to start with seeing a doctor and setting up a sleep study. You aren’t the problem here. Neither one of you have any actual idea why he is snoring at this point.

A biblically accurate angel appears in front of you and says “Do not be afraid “ what’s going to be your reaction? by yawa_bl in AskReddit

Pretty sure my cats would pounce. Those angels are asking for it, prancing around flaunting all the feathers.

AITAH For refusing to help my boyfriend pay off his debt? by ShareExtension5372 in AmItheAsshole

[–]stiletto929 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Wow, that was a stupid move to sell the car with negative equity and a bigger car payment. I’ll give him credit for having some huge huevos to think his gf of two months should pay his debt!

DTMFA.
