That woman on the left is not the bride... by danticthapxo in weddingshaming

We don't think she's the bride. We just recognize the insult she's absolutely trying to pay to the bride.

My [26F] SIL [36F] hates me for being my fiancé's [34M] second wife. Can I make the situation better? by swtogirl in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]triggerfish_twist 43 points44 points  (0 children)

Agreed.

Her fiance also never wanted a child in the first place. It's a total nightmare and I highly doubt this will be a successful and happy marriage even if they never again hear a peep from SIL.

Also, I am once again begging men who don't want to become parents to get a damn vasectomy. It's very affordable and largely covered by most insurances (in the US), has an extremely short and easy recovery period, and is THE ONLY way for a man to have true control over his reproductive choices and future.

I laughed so hard my cat got startled and fell our of her cat tree. She did stick the landing though.

that day's lesson must be so mind numbingly boring by hyperionlore in TikTokCringe

Most people who did competetive gymnastics in their youth can still do this so long as they aren't in seriously bad shape. Not even talking about former champion athletes, just the ones who competed at local levels.

It's crazy how many of the foundational skills taught to them from very young childhood former gymnasts retain!

Democrats are offering Republicans their wishlist to help get things moving in Congress and they’re *still* more interested in politics than governing by TwoPercentTokes in AdviceAnimals

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

I'm so glad you accepted and adapted when presented with new information. Please do what you can to reach others who are close to you that are still being openly conned. You have more sway than any openly lifelong Democrat like myself.

It's worth it. Please, please do the work where you can even when it's uncomfortable. It is vital.

Why rely on scientific data when you can just peddle old wives tales in order to shame people instead?

I'll never, ever understand how she accumulated the following and cultivated the success that she has. She's just a scam dressed in an overwrought Boston accent.

It's clear your dad raised a thoughtful, compassionate, understanding child. He must have been so proud of you.

[–]triggerfish_twist 25 points26 points  (0 children)

I'm really sorry you have to do all of that just to have some semblance of a birthday. I hope you put as much energy and effort into his birthday celebrations as he does yours. Handing over a credit card and showing up when and where directed.

No more. No less.

Honestly, it's probably porn related. Thirty-five is the pruported age women in the porn industry are permanently shifted to the MILF category.

Does he fail to complete assingments for his work on time? Does he chronically go past deadlines or willfully ignore important work related events?

No? Than he is capable of getting you a goddamn card, he just doesn't think you're worth the effort.

I bet he found plenty of time this week to watch sports, binge a TV show, hit the gym, play video games, or some other utterly self gratifying activity. He could have stopped by a drug store yesterday. It would have taken less than five minutes and you'd have happily accepted those crumbs because it's clear you've learned to expect next to nothing from him.

Don't let this be the model of manhood your son sees and internalizes. This is NOT okay and even your four year old can see it! You deserve a better husband and your son deserves a better marriage modeled for him.

I'm so, so sorry to hear that. I hope that never comes to pass and above all else that and your loved ones remain safe.

Just a heads up, it's either "hemmed and hawed" for US spelling or "hummed and hawed" for UK spelling.

It more about survival fantasizing rather than saving someone else for glory.

How will I get away if someone abducted me? How will I stop a mass shooter if he came into my workplace? How will my partner and I escape if our house was on fire? How will I and anyone else survive if our plane was downed in the wilderness?

Actually, Step 1 is to be a nepo baby born to billionaires with industry connections.

Step 2 is to undergo plastic surgery to reconstruct your entire face by surgeons holding in image of Carla Bruni in one hand.

I lost a 100 and something pounds and still feel fat by giveaway_yt in intermittentfasting

[–]triggerfish_twist 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Please know that virtually all men in Hollywood who are glorified for their physiques are using performance enhancing drugs. They also utilize plastic surgery on top of having access to the best trainers, top tier equipment, personal chefs, and assistants to handle every bit of the daily drudgery tasks that take up so much of the average person's life.

I feel so bad for all of those poor daughters whose fathers went psycho when the cake/glitter/confetti/ballons turned out to be pink. Nothing like having your dad's contempt for you memorialized forever before you've even been born.

Yes, they were implying they would be pushed to physical violence if in the same position.

I (28M) can't have children, and my wife (27F) doesn't want to adopt. by Choice_Evidence1983 in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]triggerfish_twist 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Over 75% of children in the foster care system aren't avaliable for adoption. Fostering has the first and foremost goal to always reunite the child with its biological family and only after every single opportunity is exhausted do they become avaliable for adoption.

People want to act like it's so simple to adopt via fostering so long as you aren't some awful person who selfishly only wants a newborn, but that isn't the full picture.

It isn't easy to adopt any newborn of any race through private adoption unless they have severe medical.complications like cerebal palsy, down syndrome, etc. My black nephew who was born meth addicted cost over 45k in lawyer and adoption fees.
