I doubt whatever he did could possibly be worse than wasting so much coloured ink

So he can see every pixel of him fucking up.

It’s what I would do. Make a really big point.

Did you not see the sign Bernie Sanders printed from Twitter and brought into Congress? You gotta print things large when you print them to make a point!

i chooose to believe they are part of a production crew for an interesting new comedy that involves a lot of on screen 'bubbled' communication. they are just workin the material!

[–] [email protected] 16 points 11 months ago

Or maybe the restaurant they're at has quirky menus.

[–] AgentGrimstone 15 points 11 months ago

Or they're lawyers and are preparing for a case!

[–] [email protected] 6 points 11 months ago (4 children)

Especially since I’m pretty sure printing text message transcriptions doesn’t actually print out a scaled-to-page high definition blue bubble.

and phone screens are pretty hi-res nowadays

[–] instamat 3 points 11 months ago

You ever looked at a screenshot from an iPhone on a desktop at 100%? That shit is high res.

Print of text messages. Assumption being he cheated and those are his text messages.

I was also very puzzled and zooming in failed to enlighten me.

A woman looking at a printout of facebook messages. A dude with a somber look.

OK, hear me out. Why? What is the point? Just move on...and post the receipts on social media if his family and/or friends follow you.

[–] finestnothing 31 points 11 months ago (1 children)

They might have those messages out as records of some convo for planning stuff. Had a wedding planned friend that would print out screenshots like this while planning weddings, would keep them with all the other planning stuff. Printed out screenshots of clients color preferences, store that with colorscheme ideas, stuff like thst

I have no doubt this picture is out of context. I am talking to people that actually confront their S.O.'s with proof. Why? Fuck'em.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Putting on my empathy hat here: if someone has done something to hurt you, like infidelity, you likely care about them. That feeling doesn't just turn off when they hurt you, you just get extra feelings that suck because of those feelings.

Attempting to force contrition or at least acknowledgement is a way to try to lessen those feelings. To go from "I care about this person and they hurt me", to "I care about this person, they hurt me, but they said they shouldn't have, or at least admit that they did".

Feelings are more complex than strictly rational. It can be impossible to stop caring about someone even if you now hate them, which means that unfortunately someone you now have an accutely hostile relationship with can be uniquely positioned to alleviate an aspect of your pain.

Given that, the rational (or at least easiest and most straightforward) thing to do is to build the most compelling case you can to hopefully force them to give you relief, or at least get the catharsis of proving to yourself that they're pathological, which is it's own form of closure.

Saying fuck it is obviously preferable, but it might not be the hand everyone is dealt.

Confronting a cheater in public with proof is safest. I confronted my bf about cheating a few weeks ago and he choked me out.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 11 months ago

WTF?!? That's awful! I am sorry you had to deal with that.

I agree with you, but sometimes people need to talk about it to put it behind them. It's part of the process.

Look we don't know what that's about. I've known crazy girls that would do that kind of thing over "You told me you liked them, but then you told your mom you didn't like my brussel sprouts."

Meeting up with your private investigator to see how the investigation ia going

[–] [email protected] 4 points 11 months ago

Worked in a public library "computer lab" for a long time. The worst part was how many people wanted to print ridiculously long transcripts of every single SMS or Facebook Messenger chat like these going back months. Usually for some court ordeal.

Usually those services don't kindly facilitate exporting, much less printing.

"This is how you screenshot, make sure you name it properly, good luck." These people also commonly were completely illiterate and inept regarding anything that used electrons to function, so those instructions left them baffled and upset.

Wanna really feel the cringe? Sometimes they'd waste the paper and toner printing all these out, and their lawyers demanded they then fax it all to them.

That job was hell.
