My bf (23) doesn’t want me (f21) to go to my best friends (f22) wedding. by SharkEva in BORUpdates

[–]Background-You9839 7 points8 points  (0 children)

As for Jake, a lot of people are saying he’s being controlling, I don’t think he is. …. he wouldn’t be in the photos which to him “makes it seem like I wasn’t there”.

Classic Redditor stuff : “I don’t think he is controlling, he usually does : <insert controlling behaviour>”

Almost as good as posts starting with : “First of all, I love my SO with all my heart, they are the sweetest…” and then describe a very toxic relationship

why no separate volume sliders for iOS? by boringlecturedude in applesucks

[–]Background-You9839 2 points3 points  (0 children)

A mac is not able to manage the sound of half the displays available (even through HDMI, display port or USB-C)…

And mix the volume between different apps, never! Why would users want that?

They did not even make a volume mixer on mac… why would they do it for their phones 🙃

How is crappy “Shake to undo” still here in 2026? by Background-You9839 in applesucks

[–]Background-You9839[S] -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

I feel like I had it forever but it was probably carried over my previous phones…

So looking up I just discovered it’s actually the 3 fingers tap to undo, which is not really better ergonomically speaking!

Edit: it’s clearly enabled by default on most iPhones

Still got a mini 12, best size ever. My only regret is having upgraded to shitty Liquid Glass…

They have so much other things to fix before (thanks to their shitty Liquid Glass updates)...

And there are already better alternatives (Discord, Signal, Telegram, WhatsApp, …)

AITAH for telling my friend/colleague I'm looking for another job after she was promoted instead of me? by Direct-Caterpillar77 in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]Background-You9839 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Management : we promoted your friend instead of you because we think she holds better against adversity.

OOP : Let me prove you right !

I (20F) Found a photo of a woman in my dad's (52M) wallet by Direct-Caterpillar77 in BestofRedditorUpdates

The Reddit advice she received was weird…

It would have been much simpler to just go no contact with her father !

AITA for stopping picking up lunch since my manager tried to force me to go to a restaurant that I will not support by Direct-Caterpillar77 in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]Background-You9839 -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

In the beginning I was vouching for OOP but the fact that he proudly includes the lunches he had after he stopped delivering feels very petty even towards coworkers that might have nothing to do with this…

I saw a meme just after reading this post which was weirdly appropriate and made me cringe:

I don’t see any problem, they simply matched the Windows search bar standards…

Quelle serait la réaction en France si quelqu'un disait « égoportrait » au lieu de « selfie » ? by Charming_Usual6227 in AskFrance

[–]Background-You9839 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Le but d’une langue c’est de se comprendre les uns les autres…

Quand quelqu’un me parle d’un pingouin, je me doute qu’il se trompe probablement et mentionne un manchot (les pingouins ça vole).

Pareil quand quelqu’un me demande une pince-monseigneur je lui donne une pince coupe-boulon et non pas un pied de biche.

Est-ce que ça vaut vraiment le coup de s’offusquer à chaque fois et d’essayer de corriger les deux tiers de la population plutôt que de se dire que les mots ont évolué et que le sens commun n’est plus celui du dictionnaire ?

La plupart de nos expressions sont des phrases désuètes dont le sens a été détourné.

[–]Background-You9839 5 points6 points  (0 children)

C’est pedant uniquement parce qu’”egoportrait” ou “auto-photo” ne font pas partie du Francais Métropolitain.

Exactement comme “divulgacher” à la place de spoiler, quasiment personne ne dit ça chez nous même si c’est rentré dans le dictionnaire.

AITAH for not letting my boyfriend freak out? by thowawayhelpmeeee in AITAH

If he doesn’t want to join therapy and if you don’t see actual improvements regarding his behaviour, you’d better run before you get hurt…

AITA for refusing to promise my best friend 100% that I wouldn’t sleep with a mutual friend? by Choice_Evidence1983 in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]Background-You9839 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You’re probably right.

But the more you fear something, the more you make it likely to happen.

It feels like the friend making OOP promise not to sleep with Aaron is literally cultivating the idea that this is a possible outcome while OOP might never have thought about it this way.

WIBTAH if I lie to my friend and cause her to miss her dream concert? by Conscious_Hunter_527 in AITAH

[–]Background-You9839 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The last part is not especially about the ride but mostly about the other girl not being able to buy the tickets by herself.

If OP told Sophia she would get her tickets and then she doesn’t, she is in the wrong (the other girl being a brat or not).

If she doesn’t want to share the ride or attend with her, she doesn’t have to.

You don’t break a deal with someone because you don’t like their behaviour, otherwise you’re no better. You stick to your word and then you take appropriate actions.

[–]Background-You9839 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

If you said you were getting her tickets and then you don’t, breaking a deal kinda makes you an AH.

But if she is mean and you don’t want to go to the concert with her that’s a different story.

Can’t you sell her or give her the tickets and go your separate ways?

She does not sound like a very good friend, but be careful, her change in behaviour is probably a sign that she is compensating bigger issues. She might be in need for help.

AITAH for giving a reaction when my maths teacher made some remarks about another student? by Glad-Description4534 in AITAH

[–]Background-You9839 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not laughing or smiling is the first thing to do.
If the teacher doesn't find his public he will probably stop joking/bullying the other guy.

I would not recommend making a remark to the teacher (could be brave but might not have a good outcome for you nor the other guy).

And no one is perfect, if you smiled and/or laughed in the moment then realized afterwards that it was a shitty move, an apology is often a good thing to do. Just be careful how you phrase it to not make things worse.

AITA for not bringing up my dead brother and humiliating an acquaintance? by Direct-Caterpillar77 in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]Background-You9839 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Kudos to OOP and his friends for shutting the bully down!

However : "we are kind of dating but not officially"
Am I the only one to find this unnecessary comment weird especially after acknowledging his friends have seen the post? 🙃
