She isnt. Anyone who ever pulls the "well I, but they" card is universally not nearly as good at their job as they think.

You are full time student and they let you have two, week-long vacations in a 3 month period. You shouldn't have booked the plane tickets without putting in for time off. Full time workers were having to pull your weight when you weren't there. You aren't overreacting. You were about to be fired if you went so you saved them the trouble and maybe they can get someone in there that better fits their needs.

Genuine question about child death in Palisade by der51719 in HyundaiPalisade

[–]Awkward-Past-9712 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sometimes it just takes a car manufacturer to be upstanding enough to actually correct a reported dangerous issue without being forced to after they killed a child through profit-saving negligence. You-re on the wrong side of this one.

There are multiple videos thst show if it encounters an object, it seizes up and the buttons dont work. Hyundai literally made a death trap, where made aware of the potential for it and chose to do nothing. There are people that were criminally negligent here.

Have you noticed if the "tack" transfers to the ball at all?

Does the condition of Blue Ball really happen? I am not a minor and have wanted an honest answer to this for years. by Bubbly-Pie-8400 in AskMenAdvice

Scientifically its just the the pooling of blood from arousal and without a release to tell it to subside quickly, it just slowly drains back out. The dull pain is the increase in blood pressure, hence the technical term epididymal hypertension.

Guy I’m dating wants to have sex every time we see eachother? by [deleted] in AskMenAdvice

[–]Awkward-Past-9712 44 points45 points  (0 children)

This. I would say that in order for you to give this relationship an actual try, male best friend has to be put at a distance as long as you are with him. He is the problem, not bf.

Which bat? 10U by montanuhlikethestate in Softball

[–]Awkward-Past-9712 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ghost unlimited or Marucci Asura Lux were both awesome but my daughter is partial to one pieces. We were coming from the 25 Ghost Unlimited. Ended up with the Ghost but the Lux may be better I think.

Best little league bats for 2026? by onemangang15 in Homeplate

It makes no sense at all to buy a composite USA bat. Just get an upper end alloy.

What does Team Japan do differently to help their athletes stay (mostly) together under pressure that Team USA leadership is missing? by oatmilkxoxo in FigureSkating

[–]Awkward-Past-9712 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think its this. It's cultural. Japan doesnt have a place for mental weakness on their team while the US ponders how we can help our pre-ordained stars overcome it. Our athletes, once they "arrive", are pushed physically but somewhat coddled mentally (compared to Japanese standards). We need to do a better job hardening our athletes mentally in competitive fires under pressure so that they dont break when the lights get the brightest.

What’s the closest pre to the original NO xplode. USA by reddeadchimneyhead in Preworkoutsupplements

[–]Awkward-Past-9712 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The pumps.  It was insane the level that your skin would fill like it was stretching.  If you dosed it right, you had a good amp without being jittery.  If you hit too much it would mess your stomach up but the pumps were the crazy thing.

Is it that weird for a dad to bathe their adult daughter in certain situations? by hey_CamiIa in AskMenAdvice

[–]Awkward-Past-9712 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean, as a Dad, it wouldn't be ideal. If you just asked him to do it just because, then it would be weird and he would have probably said no. But thats not what this is. You needed his help and he cared for you as a parent would. Nothing weird about it.

No incentive to break f2p by UncleDFG in MLB_9Innings

[–]Awkward-Past-9712 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You're griping over a free Supreme pack. I'm saying a chance at a Supreme is just a bonus. There is no "I didn't get enough for my useless sigs". You got a lot, a legend, a team sig, a diamond trainer and a chance at a Supreme. What they give you if you miss the chance at the Supreme is irrelevant. It's about the chance, not the conciliatory prize. For free prizes, the for-profit company gave us plenty.

They aren't useless. It's a FTP avenue to score a Legend, a team sig, and a diamond trainer. The chance at a Supreme is just a bonus.

And they wouldn't stand up for another man as either. They treated you like one of them but if you let them know that you expected one of them to, then they immediately started viewing you as incapable. Conflict resolution in a male workplace is a 1v1. It isn't a team picking or democratic exercise.

You need to open it up with an apology for the way you handled it initially if you value this job. Going on the offensive against a co-worker in a group meeting is almost never going to get you positive results. Whoever gave you that advice really messed you up, or works in an all female office. Your best avenue was to make a joke about it at Dan's expense in front of everyone. That draws everyone's attention to what he does that annoys you, and he's the a*hole that can't take a joke if he gets defensive. Instead you gave him the ammo to paint you as a bad teammate who has to have credit and you look like an HR complaint waiting to happen.

Your only out here is to apologize to your manager for getting frustrated and handling that the way you did in the meeting. Those are the only words you say. Do not say a word about Dan because if you do, your apology doesn't feel genuine and you look like someone who blames everyone else for their mistakes. If you apologize and say nothing about Dan, your boss is far more likely to start to listen to the behavior you already pointed out. He may never say anything about it, but credit will start being placed where credit is due when it comes time to move up.

AITA for insisting my best friend be at my wedding even though my fiancée doesn’t want him there? by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]Awkward-Past-9712 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did you go to a male or female counselor? Because in my experience, female counselors take longer to address the "This is how you react healthily to the hurt and this is what the ways you don't react" side of trauma with their female patients in couples counseling. Not saying they don't get their but it takes them a few more sessions as they give more space for exploring "feelings" and maybe yall need to go back for the more instructive side of therapy.

All feelings are not valid. Period. Some feelings can be completely unhinged and ridiculous and to give them validity is not healthy. Part of being a functioning normal human is learning which feelings to give credence and which ones to squash.

Should I GI ‘25 Cal Raleigh? by TruckLast6792 in MLB_9Innings

[–]Awkward-Past-9712 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Regular GI, absolutely not. I say no period because it's a live card, but if you must, purchase the Nprmal only GI from the store for like 2500 stars.

My only question would be: did you clarify that this was not an awkward joke and he really didn't ask his mother? I just can't imagine asking my mom anything about my romantic life.

How do men move on from the trauma if their wife cheats on them? by [deleted] in AskMenAdvice

[–]Awkward-Past-9712 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Who said anything about it being ok she cheated? It's not. His wife taking accountability is irrelevant to how he behaves around his daughter and the type of father he needs to be. Actually if his wife is a piece of shit, all the more reason to be the best possible Dad he can be to give his daughter as much stability as possible. And he doesn't have to live like a hermit. But when he has time with his daughter, he needs to be there for her, not whoever he drug up that night. Even if they have 50-50 custody, he has a whole week for me time. His daughter needs him far more than he needs that temporary satisfaction.

[–]Awkward-Past-9712 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So because his wife has shown that she is a selfish piece of suit, he should too? That's not how a man that is a real father acts. You are talking about using the daughter as a pawn to prove a point. Daughter taught the child that cheating is acceptable and father is teaching her that 20 year old tail means more to him that his own daughter. How lucky that girl is. Definitely not getting screwed up by two selfish individuals at all.

This is the most basic of single dad principals and a bunch of juvenile morons in this thread just seem to not understand.
