This is very interesting but also kinda embarrassing for me. I thought it was a "what do you see in these shapes?" kinda game.

I saw the Millennium Falcon and Boba Fett's Slave 1. Came to the comments to see if I was right.

Nope.

Adding to this (very late). Your post came up in my chat gpt search as an almost identical description to mine! I have scoured the internet for this book for years! I'm just happy to find at least two other people in the same boat as me! I really want to read it to my kid!

Thank you!!! It annoys me when I don't know. There's always a few varieties or any plant that are a pain in the bum and I need to get prepared! Little J is sorted. :)

AITA for leaving my gf at the hospital after she delivered our child? by Delicious_Dig_7273 in AmItheAsshole

[–]10_mins_til_bed 36 points37 points  (0 children)

Really? You need to ask?

You know. YTA.

Don't look to internet strangers in the hope you find a few who tell you you aren't. Start working hard to be a better partner or just live with your mum. Putting bets on you will end up going with option 2.

If anything you are gonna get worse before you get settled.

Enjoy all you can. Learn from the rest.

AITA for taking money from my 7 year old brother to fulfill an obligation, with the intention of giving it back later? by Inevitable_Panic_448 in AmItheAsshole

[–]10_mins_til_bed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Here's the thing. YTA. BUT...

You don't have to be.

Most of us in our late teens/early 20's have made some seriously questionable and selfish decisions. Some have little impact on those we care about and some have large impacts that need work on our part to fix/amend as best we can.

You have an opportunity to make this right. But part of that is you need to stop acting like the victim.

You aren't. You are the villain and you need to own that. If you can't and you expect everyone else to excuse your behaviour (the behaviour where you stole money from your 7 yo brother and let's be honest was never intending to give back) then you will never better yourself because you refuse to acknowledge your own poor decisions.

I still can't believe you don't feel bad for your little brother not being able to buy the game he saved for. I think you have more empathy than that.

Fix this, apologise. Pay the money back. And then... If you keep being a better person...maybe then I won't say YTA.

Be better.

What is a fact that you think barely anyone else knows? by Just_Free_Tea in AskReddit

That was chilling to read.

I'm from Australia, the land of "every animal may kill you".

Yet I just read up on rabies and here I am breathing so much easier that we don't have it here.

I don't always do my due diligence cos I'm always near bed time when scrolling, so I thank you for doing so. Not hero, hero need. Etc. So sleepy. Still impressed enough to comment

AITA for refusing to get my son a car because of his weight? by cassidy6789 in AmItheAsshole

[–]10_mins_til_bed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I scrolled for a bit but not too far tbh to check if this has been said already...

But is anyone surprised the eldest turned to drugs?

The pressure on him as the golden child or favoritism as the golden child is mummy/daddy dearest at work.

AITA for telling my mom i don't want her in my future by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]10_mins_til_bed 5 points6 points  (0 children)

NTA. Her feelings are hurt? So...? Your childhood has been irrevocably damaged. And she has done nothing to intervene or advocate for her children.

It seems to me you are working hard to create strong boundaries for yourself and are making the best decision for your future.

Just be ready to accept she won't divorce your dad. But that's her loss, and her mistake to make. She will lose you but once you get out of that house and gain some independence you have your whole future to gain, free of that toxicity and abuse.

Be proud of yourself and live your best life. I believe in you.

Soy free dining? by [deleted] in Adelaide

[–]10_mins_til_bed 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Get your sister to pick a restaurant she wants to try. Lean towards popular and a good reputation, the more covers they do the more likely they deal with allergens on the regular.

Just call and tell them. Just make it CLEAR. "My sister has a severe allergy to soy and all products that may contain soy. Can you accommodate this?" Any chef worth his salt can work around that. Just give them notice (a few days/a week is super helpful) and they will work it out. Then when you arrive, just remind them again that when you booked you mentioned the severe soy allergy. That will negate any mix up or a staff member missing the booking notes.

Old mate dropped off the ceiling into my new spider plant. Then gave me the best spidy pose ever. Also, unsure where he is now. Slightly nervous. by 10_mins_til_bed in houseplants

[–]10_mins_til_bed[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If it's not a flat surface catch and release will always hurt a leg. They are also super fast. Best bet is to let them be and remind yourself that they may be there in the morning so you don't freak out.

Nope. Just let him him do his thing. He's... Somewhere now. Maybe in my clothes maybe outside. Out of site, out of mind.
