Me (13 years old at the time): Dad, Mom’s cheating on you. I saw her making out with this man.

Dad: Listen here, princess. The guy’s filthy rich, and when you have money, it’s normal to have a hot mistress like your mom.

Me: But aren’t you jealous?

Dad: laughs

I was flabbergasted, lmao.

      Fuck, I had one as an apartment neighbor not too long ago.

      He got evicted though.

      But not after taking some power tools to the door and trying to … very poorly, either break or replace the lock.

      Maintenance just said ‘fuck it’, drilled their own hole into the door, and frame, ran a steel chain with a padlock through it.

      He’d try coming back at 2 am every other night for a week or two, just cussed and cried for an hour every time.

      But yeah the few times I randomly encountered him in the hallway… basicslly imagine Lester from GTA V, but not crippled, in cargo shorts and a wifebeater, damn near every inch of his body covered in prison quality tier nazi / white supremacist / aryan brotherhood tattoos.

          Absolutely.

          A bad person for anyone to encounter, though I guess my encounter showcases a form of white privilege in that I’ve got as much melanin as mayonaise, and was raised in a fairly extreme right wing Christian religious hosuehold, so I’d ‘pass’ in a sense, and probably wouldn’t have to try too hard to not arouse such an idiot’s bigotry.

          But, to balance that out, I guess I would also have to not be openly bi or have basically any political opinions around him.

          Fortunately, turns out that even in the pretty red area I’m currently in, the main property manager and I are on good enough terms that I know one of her kids is heterononconformative, so, it could be worse.

          Glad you managed to get away with just an ignorant sermon.

    I was 18 years old at the time this happened

    I was walking downtown, and this older white wman (he looked like he was in his forties) was walking towards me and said to me “Hey, you’re pretty cute for a little n***er girl”. (I’m Black you can fill in the blanks I’m sure) and he tried to touch me

    And that made me so mad, I felt my face get hot, and i just kicked him in the groins and punched him in the face as hard as I could and then ran away from him fast as I could.

      The financial incentive makes it closer to pimping than swinging, at least potentially. Idk if the possibility the dad was getting something out of it besides, I guess, sexual pleasure stemming from cuckoldry makes it better or worse…

    Had a high school friend who relied on the pullout method bc condoms made things “too awkward.” After a close call with a person (I’ll call them X) who’s life was full of drama:

    “Don’t get me wrong, I’m very prolife, but if I found out I was pregnant with X’s baby, I would get an abortion.”

    I must have made a face bc she then quickly tried to clarify “If it was Y or Z though, I would keep the baby.” 🤦‍♀️

    Jeez. How was being raised by an amoral, greedy cuck like? In my mind, this is no laughing matter.

    Personally, I think my memory is bad enough to allow me to forget the nonsense people say, thankfully so, and probably because I’m sensitive to it. I had a client recently who aggressively complained that the bar wasn’t open at like 3am on a Wednesday and I just looked at him like “wtf” and quickly fixed my face and “apologised for the inconvenience”, lol. Dude was like mid 40s, so disgraceful. Aren’t you done with your hedonistic partying by now? Isn’t it time to be a responsible adult who isn’t mad he can’t get even more wasted on a weekday? Oof.

    “Abraham Lincoln was a fascist.” when debating politics with a friend.

    I didn’t take the bait. I didn’t delve into why he felt this way but I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t curious, but I wasn’t going down that road with him so he could justify his authoritarian views.

    I once sat a bar, having a drunk chat with a guy, who went from your basic “you know what would fix the world? Fluffier dogs!” type talk into “you straight women have it easy, you never have to control yourself when there’s some sexy 14 year old chick around”.

    I was far too drunk to give him the proper reaction, but I wasn’t nearly too drunk to get the fuck out.

    My bio father just passed away. I was talking to his best friend of 45 years, basically his brother, and he casually dropped he was raped as a boy. I had asked about my fathers sister, because a lot of that family is scattered and a mess, the daughter of the sister “something happened” is all I know. And he said molestation, and then that he too, was molested by a man as a boy. I was really proud of the 68 year old mam telling me that.

    But fucking, add it to the list. Men need a fucking ‘me too’ because I know so, so, many.

      That man probably had finally realized that it wasn’t his shame it happened but those that did it and those that enabled it.

      I was beat by my father for trying to talk about being raped. I was very young when it happened the first time. It was easier to beat me to silence than it was for him to admit he delivered me to this man so he could go to a pool hall to play snooker and talk shit. He never took me back but there is a reason why I didn’t go to the funeral.

      Telling people it happened is better than keeping it secret. After all the shame isn’t the victims its the rapist.

        I never understood why we blame rape victims for what happens to them. For some reason society at large seems to think everyone deserves everything that happens to them

        Religion seems to make this worse “Oh you have bad karma”, “Oh Law of Attraction, you get what you vibrate out.”, “Haven’t you heard the prosperity gospel? The poor are poor because they’ve angered God.”

        I’m sick of this shit

      Men need to learn to talk about their issues in general. My pops was brutal when I was a kid. It wasn’t until I grew up that I finally understood that he was made that way. His own dad basically destroyed him.That didn’t excuse all the terrible things he did but it did explain it. It was hard to be angry with him after that. I felt sad for him. That’s a heavy load to carry all alone.

        Yeah. My father’s an angry narcissist, but he was good at telling me that part of what really fucked him up was his mom being a violent alcoholic until right around when I was born. That and how he’d been bullied for being small for a long time as a kid and teenager because he was a late bloomer (he’s a very large man). That insight into him gave him a lot more willingness from me to keep him in my life than he’d ever know, and it helped me as a teenager to pick friends who could talk about their feelings. To this day I still see that angry sob as a small kid who never got taught to control his emotions healthily or how to feel love outside of a self or status focused lens.

  • Oh jeez… heads up: a lot of racism and very vile unhinged shit being described: (seriously, it’s gonna make your blood boil if you read this, last warning):

    So my older brother is a racial supremacist and hates black and brown people.

    And I already know what you’re thinking when you hear the term “racist”: “must be a white dude in southern rural US”

    No, no no no. We are a family of immigrants. We are non-white. We’re from China.

    The first time I heard about this was like sometime around 2017 to 2020. My older brother was complaining about African Migrant workers living in China… a country he no longer has citizenship status in… because he went through the US citizenship process to become a citizen of a multi-racial immigrant country…

    So… to reiterate: a non-white immigrant is complaining about other races in his ancestral country that he has no citizenship in… let that sink in…

    Literally “White Replacement” Conspiracy Theory, but replace the term “White” with “Han Chinese”.

    He complains about ethnic minorities in China “getting special privilages” (aka: “affirmative action”) 🧐

    So he dislikes CCP, not because of human rights violations against minorities… no no no, not that, but because CCP is “doing too much to help minorities” (in his view at least, whether or not the CCP actually help minorities in reality is a whole another thing)

    He believes there’s a secret plan by the CCP to replace China with African Migrants because of the population crisis… so he thinks the government just wanna fill up the loss of population with random foreigners…

    And he calls black people “cockroaches” that “keep spreading too much” by “having too many kids”

    But guess what: HE FUCKING COMPLAINS ABOUT TRUMP BEING RACIST AGAINST ASIANS 🤦‍♂️ fucking irony lmfao (he’s a registered Democrat… I’m pretty sure… supports progressive polities when it comes to wealth, but opposes progressive social policies… so… a social conservative but fiscal liberal??? (is that even a term?)

    Dude is so fucking lost into conspiracies, they make my parents look like saints. My parents used to be very prejudiced, but eventually come to be more accepting of multi-culturalism and the idea of living in diversity after spending so much time in the US. And now my mom has to be the one to shut down my brother’s bullshit rhetoric he spews in the livingroom.

    Oh, also kinda anti-vax about the Covid vaccine, but somehow okay with a tetnaus shot when he stepped on a nail.

    And this is this is also the brother that abused me as a child… constantly fighting me… then want to play with me when bored and has no friends to talk to… then wanna fight me and discard me after he uses me.

    Seriously idk why he even became a US Citizen…

    The only reason he didn’t vote for trump (or so he says, it’s not like I know what he marked in his ballot) is because he isn’t white, had he been born into a white family, he’d totally vote trump.

    I’m so glad, I didn’t end up being brainwashed by those insane beliefs, jesus fucking christ.

    No idea where the fuck he got that shit from… so fucking vile…

    But then again, he was abusing me when I was around 5 or 6… he used zipties to restrain me when he deemed me “annoying”, played with fire at home, maybe his psycopathy is a gene, maybe a gene that luckily I didn’t get? Random mutation?

    Idk… my parents aren’t even this vile in their worst moments, must be a random mutation. Or maybe its environment. Or maybe the internet’s fault.

      It is a common misconception, especially in the US where “white” racism against other groups is so prevalent and extreme, that it is in some way involves or is limited to specific races.

      Pretty much every race or ethnic group demonstrates racism against other groups on some level.

        Plenty of examples in history where even cultures where everybody is basically the same race, they find reasons to kill each other.

        There were hundreds of Mayan city-states, until someone decided to unite them all, and then it was join or die. Sometimes it was just die. They were all the same race, but people like to kill each other, so they invent reasons. We’re weird like that.

      Every post you make makes me wonder how the fuck you’re still alive, my man

      The strong sperm won lol

      • Weird timeline…

        I mean I wonder how humanity even survived coldwar…

        Heard of Vasily Arkhipov? Stannislav Petrov? What if they weren’t there. Someone else was in control?

        We’s be dead.

        How the fuck does humanity even exist. Like dozens of “close calls” jesus christ.

        My theory is there are 100s of timelines where humanity nuked itself. 100s of timelines where I was never born, or got kidnapped during that “running away” incident, or got murdered by my brother during a fight, or died of suicide.

        Sometimes… I wonder if there’s a “plan” for me… if “god” exists… maybe the universe doesn’t let me die.

        Like some pre-destination thing. Like how in time travel shows, someone tries to commit suicide but it fails because they are alive in the future so its impossible to die in the past. Like Steins;Gate with Okabe. Or like Final Destination where deaths have to happem in order…

        it’s “not my time to die” yet… so death doesn’t let me die till its time.

        Just a theory… 🤷‍♂️

              Basically it’s related to the uncertainty principle; the cat is both alive and dead until you look inside the box.

              Let’s say i’m about to roll a dice. The result of that dice throw is in a state of superposition until it’s thrown. Meaning that until it is thrown, all results exist. And it’s only when the dice is thrown and the result is observed that the wave function collapses to a number from 1 thru 6.

              From there, there are two camps of scientists:

              One camp believes that all other superpositions dissipate once the roll is made. So if you roll a one, then the universes in which you rolled a 2 thru 6 just kind of evaporate, for example.

              The Second camp that believes that all superpositions exist, and branch off into 6 different universes (one where each number was rolled) and they all continue unaware of the other universes existence (Multiverse theory)
