  • This show is the reason I have always dislike him.

    He was kind of funny on “Win Ben Stein’s Money”, so I initially looked forward to this show.

    But then I watched it and it kind of pissed me off. Like, is this what a “man” is supposed to be? A sexist douchebag with a terrible sense of humor.

    It was a TERRIBLE show. Glorified womanizing and binge drinking.

    Despite what he says now, that was who he was. He shouldn’t have had a career after that.

    But he’s just a talking head. He doesn’t write his material, he just reads teleprompters and has celebrity friends.


  • There are so many examples in your post where you place her above you and she is not equal in that return.

    It is challenging, especially when you think of things like, “Love means sacrifice, or hard work.” And those statements are not wrong, but they are also easy mechanisms your brain uses to justify why you let someone shit on you.

    I am coming from a marriage of 20 years and after getting therapy, finally realizing just how I much I enabled the treatment I received.

    Sex is such a strong urge too, ESPECIALLY at 20. That and fear of loneliness.

    I’ve got something that is worse though. 20 years I will never get back because I convinced myself if I just kept loving her, she would eventually love me back the same. That I just need to be strong and the sacrifice is worth it. Now I don’t even really know who I am anymore.

    You got this in a short dating period.

    I am not red pilling or any of that other chauvinistic bullshit because this applies to both partners.

    Almost every single example you presented was reason enough, on its own, to leave her.

    But you twisted yourself into thinking there’s no way this is what it is. You must not be seeing it right, there must be some justification for her behavior. It must not be a big deal, or you are “over reacting”.

    That can be anywhere from poor self esteem to just putting your partner on a pedestal.

    If your partner does something that makes you think, “I could/would never consider doing that.”, in a bad way, it is most likely not an equal or healthy relationship. (This mostly applies to how they interact with you and others.)

    You are NTA, you just need to respect your own boundaries, even when it hurts.





  • I was highlighting the fallacy in your argument, but that was clearly a waste of time.

    You obviously don’t know the history of veterans in the U.S. or what brought this type of culture to the U.S.

    You probably see the military as an extension of a government you hate (understandable) and think of its members as fully endorsing said government (not correct at all).

    That you get butthurt over a discount says a lot about you though.










  • It was constantly giving out mistaken SOS messages. It would lock up and I’d have to constantly reset.

    The final straw was when I was travelling to a work site I had never been to before. It locked up with a static screen and refused to reset. I had to stop at a gas station, at 4am, actually talk to another person and buy a map.

    It was slow, buggy, constantly trying to get me to use their Samsung store, .etc…

    When I moved to Pixel, it gave me the iPhone experience where shit just worked. And it integrated more things for me, which was convenient at the time. (But now I know it is scraping the fuck out of everything I do/see/hear.)
