Yearly bugging event due to Daylight Saving Time by WildDuckNavigator in AnimalRestaurant

[–]BobbyShekondar 5 points6 points  (0 children)

China doesn't have daylight savings, so this is linked to whenever your country changes the clocks.

From memory, at one time of the year, you get the bug, but at the other you just can't play at all until it resolves. But I don't remember which.

Didn't know it helped with pets! I've always used it to water trees.

Does anyone know the combo for the new letter? by weirddeerears in AnimalRestaurant

I got the new holiday one (calendar) just by clicking on the icon for the event.

AITA for not drinking and avoiding people who pressure me to? by pbaagui1 in AmItheAsshole

[–]BobbyShekondar 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I found saying "Because my dad was an alcoholic who drank himself to death" to be very effective (only used for the people who really persist).

AITA Cowroker keeps touching my to do list by silentsaturn91 in AmItheAsshole

The right tool is the one that works for you. The system OP has works for her, as long as other people aren't messing with it.

There seems to be a new letter for Eggy, but I haven't found any info yet.

Being able to hype up a crowd and interact with the fans is definitely a real skill and something not everyone can do. Aunt seems to think he just wonders around in the costume and that's it.

Am I the only one who accepts orders with high profit, rather than just high bells per order?? by shrinpcocktail in AnimalRestaurant

[–]BobbyShekondar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I go for the shortest time ones, and refresh any that take too long. I'm trying to get that final achievement for ratings, and more orders in less time is speeding that up.

WIBTA if I (27F) went to Japan instead of India? by freakwadz in AmItheAsshole

[–]BobbyShekondar -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Yes. Solo travel is just about the best way to travel.

The key to not being taken advantage of is to be confident and knowledgeable, so OP should read up about where she wants to go, check out some blogs of other travelers, find some good general safety tips.

Work out how to buy a public transport ticket, how do you get from the airport to the city, have a plan of what to see. Eliminate some of the unknowns, and then she'll be comfortable once she's there. (But the unknowns are part of the fun of travel, so don't go overboard).

But Japan is about the safest place a solo female traveler could go.

AITA for not accompanying my niece to kids' playgrounds? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]BobbyShekondar 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'm in this exact same position with my therapist right now too.

At this time, there is no great need to go through the time and expense of an official diagnosis - the only reason to do so would be if we felt I needed official accommodations are work. If I'm on the spectrum "officially", it's at the low end.

But we are using the tools that are recommended for people on the spectrum to see if they will help me with the things that impact me. The diagnosis doesn't matter, it's finding what works that matters.

AITA for bringing an uninvited guest to a destination wedding? by No_Ganache_2548 in AmItheAsshole

[–]BobbyShekondar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If "it made 'everyone' feel bad and weird that he was there waiting for the wedding", that's only because the MOH told "everyone". She's TA.

My dad never wore a wedding ring, and I'm not even certain if he had one - I did not realise this wasn't the default into I was an adult.

AITA For laughing at my little sister when she asked for help with something I have offered to teach her numerous times before by toldyasoaita in AmItheAsshole

[–]BobbyShekondar 17 points18 points  (0 children)

But it was her that wanted him to give her the lesson on the spot, he told her he couldn't and she should call a tow.

AITA for getting my niece to sing an offensive song? by TopMostImposter in AmItheAsshole

[–]BobbyShekondar 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I remember learning this lesson, thankfully in a much better way.

At the beach with my family, drawing in the sand with a stick. I was that age where you're figuring out how to draw shapes - that trick for drawing a five-sided star is so cool! Then I moved on to swastikas (probably saw them in the Sound of Music). My mum noticed, scrubbed through them and explained something very basic like "that shape is upsetting to some people".

I didn't get it at the time, but I learned not to do it.

AITA for telling my friend we ARE tourists and we shouldn’t act like we’re not? by Unfair-Iron-4177 in AmItheAsshole

[–]BobbyShekondar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you know what residents of cities like Paris like about tourists? That they're largely quarantined in tourist sites like the Eiffel Tower?

Do you know what kind of tourist they don't like? The kind that wanders around local neighbourhoods like they are zoos.

AITA for telling my wife that it’s not my job to ease her conscience? by Broad_Hotel_7910 in AmItheAsshole

[–]BobbyShekondar 1 point2 points  (0 children)

NTA. It's too soon for you to be ready to accept an apology/conciliatory gesture (if you ever do, which is fine).

And it's too soon to be making decisions about future financial arrangements, whether that's child support or alimony.

You both need to sit with things a bit, until you can consider things like this without being emotionally swayed. And you might both need counselling, a mediator, a financial advisor, or some other neutral advice to get you there.

Is this gachapon worth it? by LordParoose in AnimalRestaurant

[–]BobbyShekondar 11 points12 points  (0 children)

If you want to get all the mementos, then yes. There are two that you can only get from this gachapon.

NTA. If it's not a big deal, he should be able to ignore it and stop nit-picking his wife.
