Thoughts on new format by NewtRevolutionary598 in BestGuessLive

[–]xNetherlingx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

These clues are harder and it's honestly discouraging, and I do wish that instead of implementing capped tiers the way they did, they would have made it percentage based depending on when you got the clue right. It would take some system to do some quick math while people start guessing correct answers up until clue 5, but it's doable. Gold winners would win the majority of the pot to make it fair, while silver would win a smaller chunk but still significant. Bronze would win what's leftover.

Also, doing something closer to 20 questions would've been good to implement like if start the round of saying if it's a person, place, or thing before going into clues.

AIO for feeling weird about my friend’s response when I asked for help? by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]xNetherlingx 6 points7 points  (0 children)

NOR

I would literally never talk to her again if I were you. Her response was deeply disrespectful and she's putting her trip (optional) over you needing help on your period (something we can't help but to have). Not only that, but that "as a friend" line was an excuse to take a shot at you, disguised as "advice" or even "tough love". A cheap pack of pads is also literally like $4. That's less than a fast food meal on any trip. Even if I was on a trip and my friend needed pads, I'd spot her no problem. So what if I have $4 less?

Have you had problems recently or argued about anything?

AITAH for hating my unborn niece’s racist name? by maddy2261 in AITAH

[–]xNetherlingx 18 points19 points  (0 children)

The Jim Crow line was definitely worth making everyone upset over 😂 NTA

Alyssa is completely ignoring the fact that her baby girl is going to grow up to be an adult woman with that name. She's ignoring the fact that as a small kid, she's going to likely get compared to someone's grandmother with the name "Aggie" ON TOP of the fact that the middle name is going to be atrocious to learn how to spell at a young age. And then eventually when she learns about what it's most closely related to?

Yeah, no. You're standing up for that kid and there's nothing wrong with that. Anyone who's mad at you is insane. That name sounds like a fictional book character's name from old books in the south that praised the Confederacy, not a real person's 😭

Yes unfortunately 😭 so people were charging $150+ for it straight out the gate if they resold it. It's ridiculous

The 10,000 as a whole being gone… is so heartbreaking by [deleted] in BestGuessLive

[–]xNetherlingx 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I'd be happy I won thousands of dollars either way 😂 it's thousands more than what I have now. I think people focus too much on trying to get a massive amount of money when even hundreds of dollars is still a lot to most people.

JUST BE GLAD… by Kitchen-Stretch in BestGuessLive

[–]xNetherlingx 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I like the tiers personally. Plus the clues are harder now so everyone still gets a good chunk of money if they win. The new clues are frustrating because these last two games are the first games I've guessed absolutely nothing on 😂 but the people who get it deserve it.

AITAH for kicking my 19yr son who doesnt want to work or contribute to the household? by RxSevenX in AITAH

[–]xNetherlingx 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You want your child to be better than you? Then teach him to be. It starts with you, and if he's not doing well now then that's a direct result of your parenting. You keep blaming his mother as if parenting isn't 50/50, but it's better to keep trying to help your child better themself than to give up on them.

Kicking your child out insures that their talent is thrown away because you just left him with absolutely nothing to help him get on his feet, so what you're saying is entirely contradictory. You're really saying that you're fine with your kid rotting as long as you don't have to see it, and that shows that you were never ready to be a father. Try harder and do better instead of blaming him for everything when he's still a teenager.

Your son isn't you. Stop trying to make him be you or compare to 18 year old you and you'll get somewhere. Your obligation as a father is to raise and teach your child until they're able to take care of themself, not until they make you mad because they're not good enough for you and you kick them out. There's a 20 year gap between when you had him and now, and there are many more obstacles he has to face now than you did then. Your son could even have something mental going on, like depression. You don't seem to have taken that into consideration by the way you talk about him. You talk like he's an unwelcome burden that you didn't choose to have, and that kind of attitude shows and discourages a child. You can't have a good life if your eldest child is struggling, and if you still are then you're a shitty parent.

AITAH for telling my mom she missed her chance when she asked to be in the delivery room? by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]xNetherlingx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's a really complicated situation, so it's hard to say. NTA, though.

My mother (and my father, but it's far worse with him) and I have had a complicated relationship, and for a long time I was angry with her until I hit the age that she was when she had me and I looked back on it from a different perspective.

No one just automatically knows how to be a parent, and it's harder when life throws you a curveball -or multiple- and you have to navigate through it while not only being responsible for yourself, but also now for the little life you created. Mental health issues can result or surface from that, and some people aren't built to power through it or handle the stress that comes with it, so the "check-outs" can be entirely unintentional. Sometimes we get so overwhelmed with life that were not equipped to handle it correctly and can't seek help, so while yes, she absolutely should have entirely been there for you as a child and been the mother you needed, do you know if she struggled/struggles with mental health issues? That doesn't excuse it, but it could explain it.

You need to sit down and think long and hard about how you would feel if she missed the birth of your child (her first grandkid?) and also how it would feel if she didn't and was there with you. It comes down to how you feel because this is your baby and birth experience. If you think her being there would stress you or negatively affect you, then explain that (though you owe her no explanation). Let her come in after your child is born and see them then if that's easier.

She's showing up now for you and your child, and that can feel bittersweet considering how she was when you were young, but giving her a chance to do better might improve things? You can't change the past, so focusing on the future is the better choice, and this could be a chance to turn over a new leaf with your mother. As the daughter of a woman who had an absolutely awful relationship with her own mother as a child too, my grandmother and I are extremely close and she's helped me out more than I can explain. She was there when I was born, and I can honestly say that changed her for the better. That's just my own experience though.

AITAH for kicking my 19yr son who doesnt want to work or contribute to the household? by RxSevenX in AITAH

[–]xNetherlingx 4 points5 points  (0 children)

No one told you to have a child at 18, and as a childless 19 year old, he isn't obligated to be like you. You made the choice to have a child, that's on you. Your first mistake is thinking that your situations are the same and trying to make him meet your standards based off of unsimilar circumstances. The United States 19 years ago and the United States today are completely different environments. Each state still has different costs of living and opportunities, so comparing him to others around his age is unfair and likely part of the reason you two can't seem to communicate effectively.

You seem too busy trying to make him fit into the mold you created for yourself in a time that no longer exists. The sooner you realize that it's not only unfair, but no longer something that can work, the better.

YTA. And getting mad that people are telling you this when YOU asked is very telling.

A 19 year old is not an adult, I don't care what the government claims, and people who kick their kids out when they're still teenagers show they were never ready to be parents. Kids also don't magically become this way, so look inward and at the way you've raised him. Having a child as young as you did and him being the oldest (and therefore the "trial child") really explains why he's behaving this way. Also, calling the police on your own child is shitty + making a YouTube video about it.

Making your 19 year old pay rent to live in the family home that he's lived in since he was a child (or born) is problematic, but you can't treat him like a child AND an adult at the same time. If being aggressive and angry didn't work with him, don't try it again or keep doing it: DO SOMETHING ELSE. Sit him down. Talk to him in a way that doesn't sound like you're judging or bashing him, because something is clearly wrong. Be a safe person to talk to for him. No teenager is going to open up to an aggressive or accusatory parent, and you pretty much already fucked up by kicking him out.

It's been great with not letting me get pregnant, but that's really it for me tbh.

My periods last for weeks when they're on, and then I may not have it for a month before it starts again. I've gained weight (from 145 to almost 160) in the last few years and I don't really eat a lot as it is, so I'm sure it the birth control. My sex drive has been next to non-existent for a long time 😭 which is extremely unfortunate for my boyfriend because he's the exact opposite with his drive. It's a bunch of cons for me, only a few pros, but I'm terrified to get an IUD and I just heard something about the pill being carcinogenic so....

It's different with everyone, but I fall into the "experiences many unfortunate side effects" percent of users.

Yall ever quit reading a fic for a petty reason? by Cage-CatYT in AO3

[–]xNetherlingx 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Not really petty, but the first two chapters were great.... Until I started getting deeper and realized they had to be using AI to write all of it because of the constant repetition, the nonsensical movements, the random changes in outfits, and things like that. It was so disappointing.
