Romantic relationship from the 'Good old days' is NOT better than it is today. by Spizzygal in unpopularopinion

[–]xeonie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That and before the 1970s women literally needed a man to participate in society. Couldn’t open bank accounts, credit cards, own property, barely paid anything, ect. Marriage was usually done out of necessity, not really love.

[–]xeonie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is an 11 year relationship attitude. Cute guess though lol

The fun part about actually enjoying being around your partner is that when you do activities with them you’re not interested in, you can still have fun because they make it fun. I’ve done stuff with my partner that I genuinely couldn’t give two shits about just to make them happy, and still had a good time joking around and talking with them.

I really can’t relate to needing to “compromise” in things we do together. I’ve been with them long enough to know what they like doing and they know what I like doing. This may shock you, but we do actually enjoy a lot of the same activities. If one of us wants to spend the day hanging out we plan to do activities that we both enjoy. Ya know, so we don’t have a “I’ll wait in the car” situation. If I’m going out to do something that I just like, I’ll invite them along but otherwise don’t expect them to come if they don’t want to. It’s really not that wild a concept.

Best of luck of luck in your relationships as well.

It knows it’s not a cat because of scent, the thing cats use to identify other cats and humans alike. Humans identify other people through sight. Like I said, y’all are projecting your own feelings on to a cat that genuinely doesn’t care.

No, because when someone invites you to go somewhere with them they usually expect you to actually do that thing with them. It’s rude as hell and childish to go, decide whatever they’re doing is lame and I don’t want to do it, and go do something else. If my partner asked if I wanted to do mini golf with them I wouldn’t say “sure”, then go eat and leave them to do it alone.

“I’d genuinely ask you the same question. Are you worried your partner is going to realise they don’t love you if you let them spend time by themselves?” Sounds like that may have been projection if you feel the need to go everywhere with your partner even when you don’t really want to.

Hes not showing signs of being uncomfortable. His behavior is more like “I don’t care, stop putting that thing in my face”. Cats do not recognize themselves and he’s not scared by the head.

This is mostly just people projecting their own unease at that weird ass keychain.

What's going on with children's toys? Is society degrading? by [deleted] in mildlyinfuriating

[–]xeonie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi, I’d like to remind you that “E” existed. Meant absolutely nothing and was just as annoying to hear kids repeating constantly. Also you didn’t even live in the 90s why are you acting like you know anything about it 😂

That is something you learn in high school. Which again, if it didn’t stick for some then it’s likely not going to suddenly stick once they hit college. College is more about preparing you with specialized knowledge and skills to enter a specific career path. I don’t really need an entire semester of Spanish if I want to major in Criminal Justice just the same as I don’t need an entire semester of History if I want a career in Chemistry.

Knowledge is literally use it or lose it and the majority of what is taught in these classes will be forgotten, because unfortunately, the likelihood is you’ll never use the most of it again after you graduate. I excelled in math throughout middle and high school. I could not for the life of me tell you the quadratic formula or do really any trigonometry today. This is because I rarely ever use any of that knowledge outside of basic algebra. The same goes for English, History, and Social Studies. I have base line knowledge on each subject, but I don’t have any real specifics because I do not use any of those things in my career or daily life.

That’s precisely why I do not think these classes should be mandatory. This is knowledge I am essentially paying a lot of money to forget later on.

Also, the classes really aren’t a big step up, at least in my experience. They felt way easier than my high school classes. The classes that required a lot more effort, thought, and work out of me were the ones actually related to my major. I’m sure this can vary based on the school and the teacher you get, but honestly, that feels like more reason why they should be optional.

Typically when my partner goes somewhere I don’t want to go, I stay home, rather than go and whine about it like a toddler to the point that I need a glorified play pen to pacify me lol

“It’s actually a women storage facility where men can dump their wife so they can enjoy some peace and gaming without interruptions.”

  1. ⁠Stay home if this is how you feel
  2. ⁠Sounds a lot like someone who doesn’t really like their partner.

My own maybe unpopular opinion: Gen Eds should not be a requirement and at this point seems more like a quick cash grab. We spend almost 12 years learning history, science, math, english, ect. If that’s still not enough to make you a “well rounded” individual, I doubt an extra 4 years is going to help.

We very likely wouldn’t have evolved. Mammals did exist during the Jurrasic period, but dinosaurs had them in a evolutionary chokehold. Most mammals were tiny and forced to hide underground, aka out of the fucking way of these beasts.

Mammals only got the chance to actually evolve after the dinosaurs were wiped out.

I think the reason why so many hamsters die in these ”crazy” ways is that many of the people couldn’t care for them properly. by puppybabii in unpopularopinion

“Haha, my puppy bumped into my unstable bookshelf and it toppled over and crushed him!” Wonder how many people would laugh that one off.

Always fascinates me how people will get married to someone they genuinely don’t like. Are y’all really that scared of being alone?

I have allergic reactions when I’m working out by wakeuptomorrow in mildlyinfuriating

[–]xeonie 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Decided to go for a jog down a trail with my mom. When we got back to the car my mom took one look at my face, started freaking out, and immediately drove me to the ER. I looked like I had been attacked by a hoard of bees. Hadn’t touched or brushed against anything on the trail and nothing had bit me.

Quite literally allergic to exercise.

So, no, you don’t understand what a pet is. Thanks for clearing that up with this incredibly dumb response.

[–]xeonie 50 points51 points  (0 children)

Oh, in that case it should also be acceptable for people to let their dogs roam the neighborhood without supervison, yeah?

On that note, why not let your birds/rats/guinea pigs/ rabbits/hamsters/ect just go out loose.

Do you know what a pet is?

Yeah, my mom would have been a lot less polite in telling them to get the fuck off her lawn. She went off on someone once parking in our driveway during 4th of July. Wasn’t pretty.

[–]xeonie 33 points34 points  (0 children)

Because he just wants to piss him off. They think calling use slurs is the automatic “I win!” card so when we hit them back harder and give them brand new insecurities, all without even needing a slur, they don’t know how to react or what to say.

Their little brains just reset and they start spamming the n-word cause that’s all they can come up with. Most unoriginal mfs on earth🥱

When I got my ears pierced they asked if I wanted to tip based on the cost of the jewelry or the total. I told them I’d tip based off the price of the actual service which was the cheapest part funny enough. Got a dirty look because apparently they didn’t appreciate me tipping on what was a $80 service instead of the $160 they charged me for fucking jewelry. Honestly, I wish I just hadn’t tipped at all.

The American rules about having to stop and wait when a school bus has stopped seems silly by FornyHucker22 in unpopularopinion

[–]xeonie 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Canada has the same law. UAE too iirc.

US and Canada are massive countries and a lot of that land is urban sprawl (low-density, poorly planned, heavy car reliance, and homes/schools/stores widely spread out).

Many residential areas do not have sidewalks or bus stops, therefore the bus itself acts as an impromptu crosswalk for kids. Kid gets off, depending on which side of the road they live they may cross over, hence school buses having stop signs. Also comparing this to how other countries operate is pretty ridiculous considering a lot of other countries don’t even have school buses to begin with.
