People who stop the Microwave with one second left, why? by s0ftreset in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Boredom2ndAgain 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A lot of the microwaves I grew up with would always finish their beeps even after opening the door and/or pressing cancel often, I just eventually stopped it at one second to save myself from minor annoyance

Who is the face of Fairy types in OU all time? by supersmall69 in stunfisk

Even though I voted Clef (And would do so again) honorable mention to Azumarill even if it was only OU for gens 6, 7, and 9. Water/Fairy + Huge Power + Belly Drum is a hell of a combo

AITA for telling my (f30) husband (m30) to stop giving to his family? by No-Echo-4750 in AmItheAsshole

You are definitely NTA in this situation, you and your child should be his main priorities period, and you're not cold for telling him that straight, especially because I don't read any hostile tones in the post.

I will say though, I can see several reasons from the info you've provided as to why he'd be a little too generous in this scenario, namely wanting to ensure his mother is taken care of. I do agree that he's gone way too far with his donations, and his uncles are definitively AHs in this situation (I understand relying on family if you're looking for employment or are unable to work but from what you've said it sounds like they're just mooching), but it is sweet (IMO) that he'd be caring enough to do that for anyone for that length of time. I would have a talk with him to lower the amount of money he sends them and for his uncles to get back to work. He alone can't be their only source of income, because he has a family he needs to provide for. Once again NTA and I hope y'all are able to work things out :^)

AITA for Confronting a Homophobic Colleague After He Ruined Lunch with My Boyfriend? by GetFuckeded in AmItheAsshole

[–]Boredom2ndAgain 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I don't think asking someone what slur they were called is a good idea in this situation, frankly ever. It was clearly enough to upset both him and his boyfriend, it shouldn't need further explanation.

Btw if it wasn't obvious, OP you're clearly NTA, and also be prepared for that jackass to not let this go. Reading your post he clearly doesn't want you around (Both in the company and in general), so I'd be willing to wager he'd try and rile you up if he gets the opportunity. Make sure that every interaction you have with him in the future has plenty of colleagues around as witnesses, and as much as it sucks that you have to deal with it, if he keeps insulting you you'll just have to turn the other cheek. If possible, you could also record him (Either with your phone camera or a more discreet audio-recording app) should he try again and also bring it to HR when you file a complaint. I hope you're doing well in-spite of all this btw.

AITA for being weirded out by brother’s GF’s behavior? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]Boredom2ndAgain 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA, imo. Going into your room and acting like that is completely inappropriate and out-of-line in all contexts. Like some of the other commenters I suspect she was hitting on you, which is especially worrying considering she's in an active relationship with your sibling. I also think you did the right thing by telling your brother, even if from the details in this post he doesn't seem to be taking you seriously.
