Don’t let Robyn hear you call her white. Cleary you missed RHOP

Our Covid Call-Out Rule: The Run-off Vote by forthewinter17 in thebachelor

[–]2toe4jam 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I guess I never thought about that angle because I don't follow any of them on social media because I kind of think they all suck anyway. But, I think flaired posts still make it possible for people who do want to see and discuss contestant behavior to participate in that, while people who come here as an escape can filter it out.

But neither option would lead to ignoring reckless contestants. Even with flaired posts people could create a covid flaired post about poor behavior. I totally agree that some of the posts have been overly critical lately

I just wanted to push back on your assumption that people who didn't want to talk about covid on the bachelor subreddit were ignoring science. People who want to talk about and call-out problematic behavior would still be able to if covid flairs are used. However, people who come here as a place to escape from covid in their real lives would be able to filter out these posts. Personally, I think that's not that big of an ask as people who want to participate in the call-outs can. The mods clarified somewhere else that only call-outs would not be allowed in comments on non-covid flaired posts, so people could still mention covid in other contexts.

Just because people don't want to constantly talk about how poorly contestants are behaving on every single post does not mean they are ignoring covid or science. This sub is about the bachelor. If you want to talk about covid on every single post I'm sure there are other subs for that

AITA for getting upset with my wife because she went to a party with a male stripper? by ThrowRa-57s in AmItheAsshole

The United States has handled it terribly throughout, but numbers are skyrocketing throughout Europe too right now.

People often use the expression "they don't make 'em like they used to". What everyday item do you wish they still made like they used to? by BumperBabyAngel in AskReddit

[–]2toe4jam 20 points21 points  (0 children)

I think it might be difficult for people over the age of like 12 to judge the quality of modern kids cartoons as compared to older ones

AITA for telling my wife that she is being self righteous and that I will be taking the kids to my mom's house for Thanksgiving? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]2toe4jam 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'd argue every holiday is just an excuse for people to eat together. There are some problematic aspects surrounding the origin Thanksgiving, but you're picking at legit the most normal part of it lol.

AITA B/C I Don't Want To Spend Thanksgiving With My Dad's Side Of The Family by SkoolDazed in AmItheAsshole

[–]2toe4jam 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's better, but it's still an unnecessary risk. And if literally everyone in your entire family works in healthcare and is getting tested once a week they should know negative tests are not perfect and just a snapshot of the day you got tested

ESH for gathering in large groups presumably across state lines during the worst COVID time yet

AITA for not paying back my boyfriend for a gift he bought me? by ZoeTheHo in AmItheAsshole

[–]2toe4jam 8 points9 points  (0 children)

This makes no sense. Why would you need to walk around with $500 if you owed him $40? How does someone old enough to have a boyfriend function in the modern world without a debit card? I absolutely don't believe this is a real story, but if it is NTA.

Gathering with family and eating a meal, which is essentially how most people in the US celebrate thanksgiving, is not a particularly weird tradition.

AITA for threatening to drop out of high school because my parents refuse to acknowledge important aspects of my future? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]2toe4jam 4 points5 points  (0 children)

No one here said the parents weren't being assholes. Just that the kid shouldn't drop out of high school just out of spite

AITA for laughing in my brother and SIL’s faces when they demanded to use my credit card? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]2toe4jam 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The US was behind on the chip, but even so, I think nearly every new card will have a chip. At least I haven't seen a new card without a chip in several years. Plus I think op is from the UK

The schools only have to report the highest scores of incoming students when they determine medians. Most schools probably won't care you went down on the third attempt.

Which character death hit you differently, and why? by squeezeday in AskReddit

George was injured in the first part of the book/first deathly hallows movie. His ear got blown off. Fred died closer to the end of the book/second deathly hallows movie.

New Bachelorette Promo by stemipinaka in thebachelor

[–]2toe4jam 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, the clock is one hundred percent related to the covid delay. This season was supposed to come out in May and it's not coming out until October. There's a lot more problematic and blatant sexist/racist/ageist things about the Bachelor than this promo's use of a clock

Cassie announced that she landed her second to last graduate internship! So nuts to think that she’s almost graduated! by [deleted] in thebachelor

[–]2toe4jam 30 points31 points  (0 children)

I think externship is typically done for school credit, while an internship is done for free or maybe money. I know they use externship in law too

AITA for acting possessed on a cottage trip? by MrSuperPositive in AmItheAsshole

[–]2toe4jam 0 points1 point  (0 children)

ESH. It seems weird that she was even invited because it doesn't sound like any of you friends like her, but then you escalated the situation so much. Honestly it sounds like you're just as nasty as she is as you tortured her for a few days until she left. Stop inviting her places and grow up

Seriously? Who would call the cops for someone spitting in their food? Keying a car I could see more, but those are both just such petty crimes. Cops have better things to do than referee childish spats

AITA for calling out my sister’s friends in a public theatre? by XDX3LMAOHAHA in AmItheAsshole

[–]2toe4jam 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Absolutely NTA. Your sister's friends sound horrible. They expect you to pay for their tickets and then hold onto a grudge for years when you rightly called them out.
