Hellblazer187 posted:I don't understand how someone can be "extremely against infant adoption" to the point that she can "rant for hours about how it should be banned." I think it's purely self regard, with no thought towards consistency or society whatsoever.. They want to identify as a mother, and they don't want to identify as a person who adopts. Maybe even feel that adopted kids are 'fake' kids. Those who have difficulty having kids often put the act of having them ever higher on a pedestal

Mx. posted:AITA for calling out my boss for offering my friend 165% of my salary to do the same job, in a different site? since goons have been talking about 'why do people even post this poo poo on reddit', i thought this comment by the OP seemed relevant: quote:I asked for a raise if he could offer that kind of money to my friend. He told me i would have to prove that he's going to get a good return on it.

mind the walrus posted:You're not wrong but it's one of those things where the energy is going to pick up because there's also Escape Rooms, Go Karts, like a whole laundry list of things. At some point the kids are going to have to get cut out and it's going to hurt their feelings. Better to just lay down the line nice and early and say "We'll do something special with just us some other time. This night is just for her and her friends." Sure, but why does Logan get to go to the theater and a couple activities then? Lola is the same age. OP has a point; the only justification offered is that 'they're closer'. The invites are unfair to her kids. There is a vibe that her kids are the step family and not the real family, and if there was any counterbalance offered she doesn't mention it. OP handled it poorly, which is why she's getting dumped on, but idk what I would do in the same situation. It's not great.

I'm a little dubious of Baconator Mom. She seems like she's spinning pretty hard to me. And undermining your spouse with the kids is a pretty big deal, and she shouldn't pretend otherwise. In her story as presented, she's in the right. I am just wary she is bullshitting or leaving a lot out. TheDeadlyShoe fucked around with this message at 17:19 on Apr 16, 2023 |

run on sentience posted:What? None of what you just said is in what the OP posted. You are just making poo poo up to defend this abusive rear end in a top hat. I'm not defending him at all. I've had bad experiences with people who say 'it's just one time, it's not that big a deal', on topics that are pretty clearly important. Like say, in this post, 'You're abusing our kids.' Incidentally getting into that sort of argument is very hard for someone who is neurodivergent to deal with. You know it's a big deal, it's been a point of argument for years, but they're saying its nothing to be concerned about. Obviously its a big deal for the OP. The kids veggies are the main thing they argue about as a couple, and it's leading to divorce. She either had not internalized it or she's spinning hard, and it leads me to not trust her post because I can't tell which. Maybe thats just unreasonable bias from past gaslighting that was done to me. But I'm not defending anything the guy did for fucks sake.

Midnight Voyager posted:The behavior you're acting like such a red flag is behavior that can be caused by being the target of abuse. Looking at that and saying "That's a red flag, I don't trust that," sounds an awful lot like "Well why weren't you just better at realizing abuse was happening?" victim-blaming. so your argument is that the wife is the victim of abuse here? or what?

MK-Ultramarathon posted:I still kind of don't get why you'd buy a supercar as an "investment" even if you did get a great deal on it, but whatever, stepbro was clearly the idiot by taking the car. I had to replace one strut on my Camry recently and that was more expensive than I would have liked, can't imagine what it's like to get those kind of repairs on a Lamborghini. It works for several reasons. These cars get limited manufacturing runs, so they're naturally collectible in that regard. The supply tends to go down over time because of accidents like the one in the post or just neglect, and there's a lot of i.e. tech money dudes who have money but aren't rich per se where this is an easily justifiable hobby because they get to play around with the rare cars *and* can justify it to themselves because number go up. If he was really counting on this thing as an investment for his retirement though, driving it around occasionally and leaving the keys accessible kinda puts the fault on him. Imagine having a joyride with your social security account every few years for kicks. I also lifted my eyebrow at the 'amazing deal' he got. Phrase that another way: he was ripping his friend's family off and he knew it.

The kids these days live in a fish bowl anyway. Their parents have a suite of devices to track their location and activities at all times. Their phones spy on them, their cars spy on them, their apps spy on them, they've spent their whole lives being profiled. Maybe they don't see much difference between the government cameras and the corporate panopticon they've lived with their whole lives. Not that Cato has a problem with the latter.

The poster was clearly in the wrong for not asking, and 'ACTUALLY you should apologize to ME' is just laughable. But I do find it a little dubious and poor form that Brother/Tisha's household was so apparently unprepared to accommodate their nephew for a family event they chose to host. An old microwave in the basement that was busted to boot...? Since its Dino Nuggz, it does make me wonder if Tisha did in fact previously offered alternatives that the OP refused to take them up on, and that just didnt make it into the post.

VR sanitation is pretty trivial easy to solve: you use a disposable liner for the headpiece and replace it for every customer. Goons mystified by the concept of public restrooms, apparently.

rotinaj posted:What public restrooms do you use that have soft foam cushions on the seat that will happily absorb your sweat and plagueridden breath, and will even pass through your brilliant idea of “massively wasteful paper products” if you are aggravated by people using disposable paper products for sanitation, you got bigger problems than vr arcades. Pope Corky the IX posted:And I’m sure the guy that thinks it’ll only cost $200k is going to make it a priority to change those liners after every customer. In my admittedly limited experience, VR arcades/booths/etc usually make a production out of their sanitation practices precisely because 'ew gross' is a big PR problem. Whether they are wiping things down or using liners or whatever, its often front and center, displayed and even advertised. i mean, maybe this guy wouldn't do that, but just because he's an idiot doesn't mean he's also a self-sabotaging nurgle demon. ...perhaps you're right.

I'm sure he couldn't take out a mortgage on his new house to pay off his old loan so his ex didn't lose her house, because he already took out a mortgage to invest in crypto or fuel cells or timeshares or penny stocks or whatever.

I'm sure that outside of Freedomland they're classified as aircraft carriers and cannot be driven without a dedicated team of pilot craft to clear the way, but I've never thought of it being remarkably large compared to the usual assortment of helltrucks populating most suburban parking lots. They aren't. 207", which is comparable to a 2005 Expedition (205"). Much smaller than a modern Expedition Max or Navigator L (222").
