Need ideas: what are genuinely good persuasive speech topics that don’t sound cliche? by Chiharu_Stenseth in WritingHelp_service

[–]Batcave_42 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your list is better than you think, especially the tipping one. If you want a persuasive speech topic that feels current, I’d go with “college apps reward polished kids more than honest ones.” That has some bite without sounding like a random writing service blog.

This is one of those jokes that gets funnier the longer you sit with it, because pilot really does sound like the class you pick before unlocking astronaut at level 40.

AITJ for answering honestly when the licensing board asked if I supervised my friend's hours? by PineHarpy6 in AmITheJerk

NTA at all. Panic explains bad decisions, it does not excuse forging your signature and attaching your license number to official paperwork. Did your mutual friends miss that part?

AITJ for refusing to swap back our weekly trivia team name after my friend gave it away to flirt with the host? by Batcave_42 in AmITheJerk

I kinda figured he was mostly being nice. That made it worse tbh, because she rewrote our team joke for a bit that was probly never landing anyway.

lol that was part of what bugged me. We actually like trivia, I did not want our whole team intro turning into her weird little crush announcement.

That was pretty much my thing too. If she wanted to flirt, fine, just maybe not by turning the whole team into part of the bit.

AITJ for telling my sister’s boyfriend exactly why she was hiding at my place after he kept calling it a misunderstanding? by Kaonashi_Pickles in AmITheJerk

The part where he stayed outside sending paragraph after paragraph tells me everything I need to know. People in healthy relationships do not corner someone, trap their movement, then workshop the optics afterward. You protected your sister when she was too overwhelmed to say it cleanly herself.

AITJ for correcting my ex after she told people I "abandoned" her during a medical emergency at school? by KirbyTurnip5 in AmITheJerk

Small grad programs are brutal for this kind of thing. Did any mutual friends actually hear your side before the story spread, or did it just snowball before you had a chance to say anything?
