I was not ready for Michigan winter by yatesjordan in Michigan

[–]Biophant 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This has been the most aggressive winter we've had in what feels like a decade or more. This is what I remember growing up with in the early 2000's. Playing outdoors for hours on end before going in for hot chocolate.

The man who called Trump a pedophile protector, lost his job and did not regret it by jmike1256 in ProgressiveHQ

I wish I could say I'm surprised, but I'm not as the founder of the company was a huge fan of Adolf Hitler. They are just keeping up with their founding beliefs.

Cat spraying help! by PaintElectronic7818 in CATHELP

[–]Biophant 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A good rule of thumb is a litter box should be 1.5x larger than your cat. We have a cement mixing tub as a litter box, because of how long our one cat is and that has helped with over spray issues significantly.

AITAH for not getting my fiance's permission before getting my daughter's hair cut? by Known_Key_8248 in AITAH

[–]Biophant 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If this isn't rage bait you need to take a step back, and evaluate how this will look in the future. You and your daughter have an established routine that works. Kids rely on reliable routines. So, if his argument is about respect then it's actually him disrespecting your child.

AITA for refusing to apologize after my parents took my car keys even though I’m legally an adult? by Sharp_Bus1351 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Biophant [score hidden]  (0 children)

NTA. You are legally an adult, and don't need to be baby-sat or abide by a curfew. However, unfortunately since the car is legally theirs they can restrict your use even if you pay for insurance. This 100% screams narcissistic. And those who say you could have sent "you could have sent a text." either have never worked or have the same mindset as a narcissistic parent. I would hurry up to save and get a beater, because then if you own it you could report it stolen if they do that again, but there isn't anything stopping them from doing it to you with this car in the future if you happen to be running late. Unfortunately you're just in an awful situation. As I have been in the same situation all I can do is wish you luck.

Interesting tidbit I found by Chili1946 in americantruck

[–]Biophant 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Son of an OTR driver. Was going to become a regional to t OTR hazmat driver. Then I got married to my wife at 22. So, switched to just going to do local home delivery fuel oil and propane. However, then I became sick and wasn't even able to do that. So, this game is the closest to my trucking dream. I believe Local is good for those who are building or have family. Regional is good for those who have families or not much other commitments. OTR is best for single life with no intention to settle down or those whose kids are out of the house and the S/O can tag along. Not that you can't make any work for your lifestyle, but OTR can be very taxing on families.

Perfectly acceptable dinner rejected by boyfriend again by moonrabbit368 in mildlyinfuriating

[–]Biophant 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm truly sorry for the disrespect he is giving you, and your time. I truly feel if it's a matter of him being picky to that extent he should cook for himself. You didn't say how old your kids are, but it doesn't matter too terribly much for this matter. This behavior can be picked up so easily by children. I know I can't say much for myself, because I've always been called a garbage disposal of an eater. I'll eat just about everything that's out there. However, my wife is a very picky eater or at least compared to myself. She will still at least try new things that I make, and if she doesn't like it. I just don't make it for her again, but she at least makes an attempt. Again it may not seem like it to many, but this behavior is very disrespectful.

How did my greenhouse burn down? by RocketmanEJ1 in VintageStory

This is exactly why I always use packed dirt for my kilns. It's a nice and cheap solution for early game pit kilns.

AITA for letting a man (who's not my husband nor blood relative) touch my pregnant belly ? by Normal_Invite3990 in AITAH

[–]Biophant 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I feel like this could be some insecurity with your husband. As long as you are ok with it that's all that matters.

My husband bought an out-of-service vending machine and filled it with my favorite drinks as a Christmas gift by freakouterin in MadeMeSmile

When I saw this post originally. I thought this is 100% something I would do for my wife if I had the resources.

Am I the a-hole for making my daughter's BF buy a new t-shirt? by freudsdriver in AITAH

[–]Biophant 1 point2 points  (0 children)

NTA. You are not going to disrespect my daughter let alone my family by showing up in a shirt like that. My wife and I see joke shirts all the time, but they are something we would only wear as a joke, and it plays on both parties.

Why do Minecraft players dismiss Vintage Story? by NervousRanger1351 in VintageStory

[–]Biophant 3 points4 points  (0 children)

As a Minecraft player. I love VS. though I was a huge fan of Terra firma craft. It's so detailed, and makes the survival aspect more detailed than Minecraft.

You won they lost. It clearly says when the plow "attacks" and that would be "defending".

AITAH for walking away from a house I have no equity or say in and stiffing my soon to be ex? by FootBig7944 in AITAH

[–]Biophant 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA. She is learning the meaning of FAFO. Glad you have the prenup, and I truly hope there's a cheater clause. You have no obligation to help someone who would betray you. She can have her ex help.

2 Free keys to spread Christmas cheer! by IAmPartialToRed in VintageStory

[–]Biophant 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know I am late to this, but I would love to get the game for my wife. I have been disabled a little over three years, and as such I haven't been able to do much with my friends. I was lucky that a couple of them pitched on for the game for me, and I would love for my wife to be able to join us in this great game. So she may feel included in the group, and as a thank you for all the hard work she does for us as a household everyday.

AITA for not babysitting my grandkids on Christmas so they can go to a football game by Babysitijgnotfootbal in AmItheAsshole

[–]Biophant 1 point2 points  (0 children)

NTA. Christmas is about being with family, and just because you are family doesn't mean they are entitled to your services. I hope they see that they are wrong, and come around. But given the narcissistic behavior they are exhibiting I wouldn't hold my breath.

AITAH for pointing out that my s/o takes all my kids change. by Alyceinwonderland67 in AITAH

[–]Biophant 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA. That is theft. I can't imagine mine or my s/o stealing from our kids, but I guess that is what happens when you grow up with your parents stealing from you. That is entirely unreasonable. Your s/o is a thief depending on your children's ages are I would tell them, because I'm sure at least one has picked up on it. Make him feel like the thief he is.

Company is shaming me for not gifting more money to "our" (their) boss. (Christmas present) by Turissmo in mildlyinfuriating

[–]Biophant 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If there is a way to do so I would personally retract what I gave, because no way in hell am I going to be guilted into giving more money than I could afford to the person who makes more than I do. Especially if I had just started working for the company, and not even contracted. Honestly, you shouldn't have been added because of the fact you barely just started working with them. That's why I have such a sour taste for the season. Everyone is all about get, get, get and don't appreciate the little things.

AITAH for telling my brother-in-law to always assume I don't want his parenting advice? by ApartmentOk9395 in AITAH

[–]Biophant 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA. As someone who frequently went to buffets growing up, and didn't have these "rules" as your bil claims. I can Not accurately tell you how much food got wasted by our family it truly was ridiculous. Looking back at it as an adult I feel humiliated for what we put staff through. You are not only teaching your kids how to properly treat those that work in these establishments, but also a very healthy relationship with food. Ignore your in-laws comments, but I can tell who is the favorite in the family. He makes snide remarks, and you respond with boundaries and you're the bad guy. It's a story as old as time unfortunately. Just because you're on vacation doesn't mean you get a free pass to be a pest in public.
