@downbadcomment Good for him. A woman can be an absolute stunner, but if she speaks with that irritating vocal fry or inflection, I'd be pulling that ripcord as well. Be glad the guy was forthright enough to be honest with you.

Great story, except the part about the neighbours preaching to him while moving in and the claim about the offensive tv: pure bullshit. None of that happened. Somehow this asshole learned his new neighbours were Christians, so he and his GF devised a way to antagonize them. Happens all the time: whether through a brief cordial greeting in passing, or peeking out their windows and perhaps seeing some personal items with Christian symbolism or meaning, people like this instantly go on the offensive. However, when relaying their "trauma" to their peers, they never want to portray themselves like the petulant assholes they are, so they fabricate a pretext to justify their "response" With all the stress and hassle of moving into a new place, no Christian is going to drop what they're doing to "PREACH" at someone they just met. Chances are, the OP maybe held the elevator, the "christian" said something offensive, like "thank you, God bless you" and then went about their business. BAM. GAME ON. As for the complaint about the tv? Yeah. OP completely made that up. Again, no Christian is going to actively seek animosity with their new neighbours like this. Complaining about something overheard on someone else's tv (especially if it is something christianl) is something OP would do, guaranteed. It's so pathetic that none of the people in said peer group would ever call them out on it. Rather, they all join in because in their hearts they all want it to be true. After all, why on earth would OP lie about that demographic they all openly hate in their redditsphere? Sexual proclivities aside, OP is just another miserable asshole that needs his pound of flesh because of his own bigotry. Simple as that. In the meantime, enjoy your pegging, loser.

They sure showed them.

I'm thinking bitter girl here is attempting to live vicariously through her MUCH hotter friend, taking personal glee in the trail of broken hearts left behind in hot girls wake. Newsflash kiddo, I guarantee you no guy out there is shedding a single tear over you, and broadcasting your bitterness to the internet isn't doing you any favors.

LOL, no...but believe me when I say I understand how you felt. My time was in the early '90's before the internet was part of everyone's life, so I didn't have Grok in my pocket to bounce my confusion off of. In retrospect, I'm pretty sure the girl I was with was BPD as well as her personality seemed to shift daily and I lacked the knowledge or tools to navigate the ever shifting emotional landscape. (Fun fact: she was a "Psych" major in University.....aren't they all) Nonetheless, once I was able to heal, learn and most of all deal with the skeletons in my closet, I know I was a better man for it. Glad you were able to find that ejection lever as well and parachute to a safe distance :)

@degen187 @reddit_lies Holy shit are you me? I was with a girl in my early twenties who I later found out had BPD and literally had to fly across the country in the middle of the night to cut all ties. Stayed in Portland, OR for 2 months. Yikes

Rip bro

Girls, don't forget to pose dramatically for a cheap pic when you post your sob story online for an audience of complete strangers. (make sure to take several pics so you have a variety to select from, because: MOOD) Honorable guys absolutely love that shit and will drop everything to pursue you because of the outstanding virtues you display.

I empathize & mourn those years alongside you. ✊️ It hurt at the time and it's a harsh life lesson that I think everyone should experience and then (hopefully) learn from. Be glad you came out wiser for it.😊 Sadly, some people never achieve that wisdom and remain trapped. I know If I could go back, I wouldn't stop myself from being with her, because the lessons I learned about myself and how to treat others were invaluable. I just wouldn't have let it go as long as it did.

@degen187 @reddit_lies I have a similar story. Dated this girl from like 19 to 22. Looking back on it now as a middle aged man with a more experienced perspective, it was just a really bad relationship. I thought I was in love. I wasn’t.

That's actually not a bad synopsis from someone who has hardened their heart towards God. However, credit to him if he really did read it; that's a start. I'll be the first to admit Christianity is a pretty tough sell circa 2026 in light of all we see around us. Many believers often struggle with what feels like an absence of God rather than a presence. However, the word of God speaks of His divine grace,mercy, provision & love and when you let Him into your heart, His word takes on an entirely new perspective, you need only to ask & seek Him. You're also free to mock & dismiss. God gave us free will to choose.

Theology, by Reddit.

Nah, that's just being borderline passive aggressive. Just fix the damn faucet Jason. A) because you said you would, so get after it. B) If you don't, she'll hire an expensive plumber, and it'll hurt, but not as much as when you find out said plumber is fixing HER plumbing on the side. 🤣

Women hate it when you come up with solutions to their problems, so dont: 😭

This is what I find so morbidly fascinating about leftist arguments. They'll fabricate any narrative they want based on their worst fantasies or outright lies and hold fast to it despite very tangible evidence to the contrary. The next day they can (and WILL) move the goalposts and then realign themselves to it without the slightest hint of irony, shame or accountability. The best part? they consistently co-opt conservative criticisms and claim them as their own. You really have to admire the intense lack of self -awareness. It must be kind of liberating in a way to be THAT obtuse and ignorant.

>Can Mamdani run for president? >No, but I don't like trump so yes >I wish someone would grow balls to break the constitution like trump did >Erm, no sexist language >I changed it to strength, is that ok? This is the most reddit conversation ever.

@BetterParties @giveashitnature Looking at the pic again, I had to chuckle. The look in her eye says: "DON'T"....and you know she MEANS it. You best let the lady be. 🤣

@degen187 @giveashitnature They always said it was good luck to find a bird's nest in the Christmas tree. It must be good luck to have a bird's nest on your new truck for sure. And I would venture, possibly bad luck to remove it.

Breaking news: A Ford dealership in Kansas can't release a sold F-250 because a robin moved in first. An employee at the dealership located outside Kansas City noticed a robin building a nest on the tire of a brand new F-250 that was already sold. The robin laid four eggs and successfully hatched them. The truck is now stuck on the lot until the chicks fledge, because the Migratory Bird Treaty Act of 1918 makes it illegal to disturb an active nest of any native bird in the United States. The buyer has been a good sport. The dealership called it the only F-250 in America currently protected under federal law.

There was a saying I heard a long time ago in my dating years: "Men are like carpet: lay 'em right the first time, walk on 'em the rest of your life.." A harsh, but compelling maxim that helped me apply some much needed discernment. In this case, he could a) split the bill and walk away b) pay the whole thing and...walk away. Either way, the relationship is over and he needs to move on with someone else.

@RealPostFolder I would have covered the bill out of my own pride. Then would have a frank conversation with her afterwards and let her know that I don't appreciate being "tested" like this or in any way, and if she values the relationship she'll never pull something like that again.

I wouldn't mind paying when I choose to, but turning it into some public "test" is immature

The fact that people are compelled to share anecdotes like this just boggles my mind. Either these stories are complete clickbait fabrications or people really are this pathetic. Maybe it's a generational thing and this really is how life's challenges are resolved these days: make your life an open book for an audience of strangers instead of applying some discernment, wisdom, maturity and some fucking balls.

I gave up after season 2, but my appreciation for Starr remains solid. His ability to be both incredibly charming and frightening with a simple expression is impeccable. He's the only reason why I'd watch because his portrayal was just so compelling in an eerie yet delightful way. One moment you feel like accepting a warm handshake, the next you're frightened to your very core. Well done Antony. Well done indeed.

Anthony Starr is the reason The Boys survived. He made Kripke's shitty writing feel purposeful. His passion in every scene, with every meme worthy expression, convinced the audience there was far more substance only for the finale to leave you looking back with near nothing. Excellent actor, hope he gets better opportunities.

@alphafox The true punchline is the email you get later saying that there was a data breach and some (or all!)of your data was leaked anyway.

Trying to log into any website now requires so many annoying steps!! 😫

@DudespostingWs I'm thinking Dad's heart exploded with pride at the same time his panicked soul left his body for a brief second. 🥹😱🥰

Dad went on a motorcycle ride with his 5-year-old son and was so proud after dude hit this jump

Glad he's got video. 😍 A warm smile from a friendly face, customer or favorite patron is one thing, but this is something entirely different....and from a CAT!! one of nature's most aloof & ambivalent I can imagine a casual conversation later over a beer: "Dude, this cat says hi to me EVERY DAY!!...AND HUGS ME!🥰" "No way Bro, that's impossible.....a CAT??!! You're lying to me man. You shoulda said you finally got the number of that cute blonde who always comes in your store. THAT would be believable, but a CAT? C'mon man, cats don't do that..."

Every morning, a stray orange cat walks up to the same market, meows at the door, and hugs the owner

@LibertyCappy WORSE: I'm the Gen X grandchild of an East German WW2 Soldier. COME AT ME.

Are you intimidated?

@Rothmus Yeah, well. To their credit, whatever they're doing sure beats the hell out of whatever this is supposed to be. Just sayin'
