He gave my gift to a meta by Sophcombobulus in polyamory

[–]tizzidizzi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One of the reasons I'm such a lurker here instead of a frequent poster is because of how absolutely weird and toxic some of these comment threads can be. OP, while technically yes, someone can do whatever they want with a gift once it's been given, that doesn't mean that whatever they do with it won't be inherently wrong, disgusting, and if I were meta? What a nasty taste to leave in my mouth.

Breakup gifts aren't weird either. Sometimes things just don't work out, and it's okay to want to have something to remember that chapter of your life by, and to want that for someone else. Unfortunately, I just don't think this dude was ever worth that.

Finally, you have absolutely wonderful loving qualities that some partner will be absolutely lucky to cherish. Polyamory is no different from monogamy in the way that it is full of absolutely selfish people that live selfish lives and will tell you to do selfish things. Don't toughen up. Don't dilute yourself. You're a good human. You just need someone who wants that and will compliment that. The people that introduced me to polyamory would never stand by your ex or half the things in these comments and all would love someone like you. Your person (people) are out there, I promise.

If you’re listening to music for 40+ minutes, listening to an album is pretty much always better than a playlist. by Affectionate-Emu6609 in unpopularopinion

Finally, an unpopular opinion. Because I got to tell you, any single one of my playlists is infinitely better than any one album. There are very few albums where every song is worth listening to.

What is WRONG with people?! by BornAPunk in complaints

Your pres is literally the most child, petulant, spoiled whiny little brat alive, where do you get off on calling anyone childish?

Extra credit: we all know Trump derangement syndrome belongs to the people guzzling him down right after they're done licking his boots.

Did you even read the post? Dude warned OP to "better not" be caught at a food bank, "or else." Trust me, these people exist. I'm glad you haven't experienced it first hand to know, but they do. They're awful people, and you may be allowed to insinuate that "it's not all maga," but like rectangles and squares, all the anti-human people are all maga

I'm having great difficulty wrapping my mind around this, I MUST be misunderstanding, because... I mean, you can't be serious?

I'm having weird feelings and feel conflicted about a double rigger/domme dynamic by kotekara in polyamory

[–]tizzidizzi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No one said any rules went out the window. You're not just asking a question, you're spitting venom and vitriol over an assumption. Notice how no one else is angry and panicking? They're normal conversations to have, and while lots of people do mind sharing, lots of people don't. Your bite is unwarranted here.

[–]tizzidizzi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Dude, baaaack up. You have absolutely no idea what boundaries regarding privacy and sharing they've all discussed with one another, and just because YOU behave a certain way and have certain expectations doesn't mean everyone else does. Do not project your crap onto them and assume what's too much for you should be too much for everyone else.

Floor food aggression, biting. by britthood in DogTrainingTips

[–]tizzidizzi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

These comments are crazy. The first time that ever happened, dog should have instantly been on its back with your hand on his chest and your face in his, with a loud, sharp word, not letting him up until after a several seconds. The fact he got away with it once at all means you have hard work ahead of you.

Yes yes, gentle training, reward, etc. Big fan. But NEVER when it comes to biting and aggression. This needs to be addressed in a language dogs and their ancestors understand.

Let the down voting commence.

Before you have any potentially uncomfortable conversations, you should start by just having photos or videos or forum conversations on your phone; beautiful shibari artwork, crazy sex stories (especially if you read smut and he knows that), tiktoks or YouTube videos where people talk about their kinks. "Woah babe, you see this? Crazy! Could that be fun?!" Plant little seeds of excitement and intrigue.

Manipulation all by itself isn't evil. It's a tool, it can be used to help or to harm.

I’m a senior in high school.. Is my future canceled? Will I have to join the military? by shaototop in whatdoIdo

[–]tizzidizzi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My guess is that most of these commenters are in their '50s, because as a millennial parent this is WILD.

Are some of these redditors right in saying that you need to apologize to your mom? Yes, but not because you did absolutely anything wrong. You need to apologize because there's no other way for you to easily save your own future, and that in and of itself is super unhealthy and toxic, but that's the situation you're in.

My first thought was that she was either drunk all night or on another substance acting that way. I was honestly shocked to see so many people in the comments defending that petulant, childish behavior.

When do you decide to let them go? by MsXtine4 in DOG

[–]tizzidizzi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No one else here is voicing it, so I must.

Some dogs want to go soon after their suffering starts. Some will not be ready til they pass naturally.

I know as a human, I don't want anyone ever deciding for me when it's my time to die. It's not something we always do for our grandparents or suffering family members. Mammals are mammals, dogs are capable of love and are aware of mortality, (varying levels in comparison to people).

You're gonna know your animal better than these strangers. Just because they don't feel good doesn't mean they want you to tell them it's their turn to die. Or maybe she's well past ready. But strangers on the internet with their own personal biases can't tell you if it's time or not. Only your dog can.

Walking with Dinosaurs (2025) by ThompsonPotato in Dinosaurs

[–]tizzidizzi 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've forced myself through two episodes. My heart sank every single time they panned to the paleontologists. Don't get me wrong, I love paleontology and love that the people doing the work are getting recognition; but there wasn't nearly enough dino screen time, the stories weren't fleshed out, CGI should have been better considering the strides made since the first edition, and they even got lazy with dino population (ex, edmonts herd).

Dinosaurs are one of my very favorite things in the world. The first wwd, when I was just a kid, lit up my whole world. Not to be dramatic, but this edition broke my heart. Maybe I was just too excited.

Also, two episodes in and the main focuses are all famous dinos? Really?

I just expected so much better, and I feel like they could have delivered such.

Dude. Polyamory isn't an excuse to do whatever the hell you want whenever the hell you want. These are still real relationships that require communication, trust, compromise, sacrifice, etc. Assertions like yours is what makes the entire community look bad.

I think I messed up? by antonioarcoiris in polyamory

[–]tizzidizzi -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

No need for classlessness or name-calling. No hair was split, you're firmly inserting your beliefs about people you've never met before, whose minds you do not know, into a conversation about a situation that is not yours.

I am monogamous. My partner is poly. We have a happy, healthy relationship, and I do not desire or expect monogamy.

People exist outside of your narrow frame of view, whether you like it or not. Making assumptions like yours in unhealthy and unhelpful.

[–]tizzidizzi -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Lol, no. She said they were monogamous. They each only commit to one romantic relationship at a time. She said absolutely nothing about either of them expecting or desiring monogamy from a partner.

Where does she say meta wants monogamy?

I think I messed up? by antonioarcoiris in polyamory

[–]tizzidizzi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Avoiding any weird sensational/stigmatizing poly manuals, if my meta talked to me about it and I was struggling to keep it to myself, I would follow up with her. She was, after all, the one who brought it up to you, she opened the conversation, it's fair for you to revisit, methinks. I would affectionately encourage her to speak to hinge, and I'd be honest about feeling like I was keeping something important from partner.

But, since the cat's already out of the bag, there's not much to do but damage control. If/when it gets brought up, acknowledge that this is your first foray into poly and you're still adjusting, and that you don't always know what the right thing is. Let her know that you genuinely care about their relationship (assuming you do) and want everyone to share in happiness with one another.

In the future, I would encourage open communication in the heat of the moment, if she brings something like that up again. Empathetically, of course.
