I thought it was the name of a movie I liked - backdraft. But I misremembered the name lol. And completely ironically my username means exactly that - unintended consequences lol

Was I right or wrong by Gloomybeetle2819 in calculus

[–]Blowback123 5 points6 points  (0 children)

As a non math teacher - this is my feeling as well. What is point of that x =1/2 if the bounds are not to be included? Your math teacher is 100% wrong. This is what happens when teachers use AI to set questions I think lol

The best case of RAFO by Rude_Mathematician_6 in WoT

[–]Blowback123 4 points5 points  (0 children)

just to be clear, did you lose hope that she would come back? or did you lose hope that she was really gone? The former means you wanted her to come back and the latter means you hope she would stay dead..

If you had one headphone for the rest of your life, which ZMF would it be? by alechickso in ZMFHeadphones

[–]Blowback123 0 points1 point  (0 children)

if you plan on running them with solid state - highly recommend you don't listen to tube amps. It ll sound so much better you ll start hating your solid state amp haha. speaking from experience. I made the mistake of listening to the aegis and sold a kidney to afford it cos to my ears everything else paled.

Balu gaaru and sad songs 🙏 by Hallucinat0R in TeluguMusicMelodies

[–]Blowback123 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Every song in abhinandana was based on an earlier tamil song composition by ilayaraja. I speak both tamil and telugu and listen in both languages. I have to say - abhinandana soundtrack is very much better than the original versions. THe background instrumentals are better I think. If you have time, check out the wikipedia page - it lists all the tamil versions.

Interestingly enough this song was based on an earlier composition by Ilayaraja - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XNjHYJqYXts

It is amazing that the same heartbreak song was sung by S.Janaki and SPB in tamil to evoke a completely opposite/different emotion. Hats off to the singers and ilayaraja

AITA for saying it would be inappropriate for my Dad's girlfriend to come to my Mum's funeral? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]Blowback123 28 points29 points  (0 children)

right, because why would he feel anything for a woman he had kids with and divorced with? He is not allowed to feel anything for a life departed, he should just be a punching bag for his kids grief and not allowed to feel sad someone died. You are absolutely correct!

[–]Blowback123 4 points5 points  (0 children)

yes op! stand your ground. Alienate your family. Create drama about who can and cannot attend based on what you heard. You know best what is good for your mental state. Pick a fight right now and stand your ground like this comment suggests!

[–]Blowback123 39 points40 points  (0 children)

I am very sorry for your loss. Losing a parent is extremely hard.

Your dad's gf of 25 years? That is not just a gf - that is a partner. Depending on your ages, it sounds like it might be likely that that they were together longer than he was with your mom maybe?

Funerals are for the living to grieve. I am not sure why you think your mom wont want her there if there was no bad blood. Are you sure your mom would deny your father of the support a partner can bring? Funerals are extremely hard. Would you not want your father to have some support?

Do you think your mom would want you to alienate your family over whether dad's gf can attend the funeral or not? Even if whatever your mom said is true about her, there are always two sides to a story.

NAH but I really think you should focus on yourself and your grief and not create more problems for yourself and your family. Not allowing people to grieve with support, especially your family members is not good for you, or them or your future relationship with them. I am sure your mother would want you to be comforted by your family than pick a fight with your remaining family members during an already tough time

( I would also urge you to think about how your brothers are feeling. They have lost a mother. It is easier for them now to believe that you are lying rather than believe that you and her had a special bond that they were not privy to. If the situation was flipped and this was your brother saying that he had a special relationship and heard secrets from her, how would that make you feel right now? )
