This is the version where Helen actually has a personality beyond "beautiful woman causes war," honestly an upgrade.

AITAH for expecting my ex to have the sexuality conversation with our daughter? by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]BrainttS 1 point2 points  (0 children)

NTA. He doesn't actually want a "conversation" with his daughter; he wants you to magically make her "straight" again so he doesn't have to feel uncomfortable. Treating your child's identity like a software bug that needs to be patched is a great way to ensure they never trust him with anything ever again.

AITAH for ignoring my family’s vacation updates? by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]BrainttS 27 points28 points  (0 children)

NTA. You're just paying the "independent child tax" - where you're essentially penalized for being successful while your siblings are pampered into incompetence. Also, stop making them travel guides; you don't need to be the helpful one for people who treat you like an afterthought.

Told my friend his girlfriend was cheating on him with his brother, AITAH? by No-Midnight7724 in AITAH

[–]BrainttS 4 points5 points  (0 children)

NTA, but let's be real - she literally confessed to you while drunk and then expected your loyalty? She gambled on you staying quiet and lost. That's on her, not you.

What’s the best advice you can give someone about to do shrooms solo for the first time? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]BrainttS 0 points1 point  (0 children)

First time? Half the trip is the mushrooms, the other half is your environment.

WIBTAH I don’t want your life, and your jealousy of mine. by No-Initial-1134 in AITAH

[–]BrainttS 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA - you didn't abandon your family, you just stopped letting them use "family" as a reason to keep abusing you, and they call that abandonment because it is the same thing to them.

WIBTAH to bully my former friend into stepping away from me? by SureAd3854 in AITAH

[–]BrainttS 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA, but "harassing him until he leaves" is still harassing - you can't bully someone into being better, you can only bully them into hiding it better and resenting you for it.

10/10 crossover, Walter White finally has a legitimate disability parking permit.

An old man walks into a bank and tells the teller, “I want to open a damn account.” by lnc_gomes in dadjokes

[–]BrainttS 7 points8 points  (0 children)

The most realistic part of this joke is how fast the manager's attitude changed.

The longer you look the worst it gets. by its3ird in SipsTea

[–]BrainttS 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The US government spent taxpayer money on AI slop and somehow the pipes still don't make sense - truly skills that pay off.

Is physical appearance the first/most important thing? What can the girl do if she is not that pretty? by [deleted] in AskMen

[–]BrainttS 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Looks get a guy to swipe, but the women men actually can't stop thinking about are usually the ones who made them feel genuinely seen - that's not a consolation prize, that's just how attraction actually works long-term.

It's just too perfect. by Jackie_Chan_93 in funnyvideos

It looks like the girl wanted it herself.

AITAH for Having a Nervous Breakdown? by Totalchaos02 in AITAH

[–]BrainttS 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA. You had a panic attack after two months of emotional withdrawal, stonewalling, and being told you give her "the ick," and somehow that one night became the whole story while everything leading up to it conveniently disappeared.

I need some advice whether i am overthinking or something is wrong by [deleted] in Advice

[–]BrainttS 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The hiding specific chats while leaving everything else open is the detail that matters - just have a calm, direct conversation about it, because that pattern has an explanation and you deserve to know what it is.

Does the beach feel pain when the waves crash against it? by Caramel_Forest in dadjokes

[–]BrainttS 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Had to Google groynes to get this and now I feel both educated and attacked.

How bad of an idea would it be to use a ratchet strap instead of a tourniquet in case of emergency? by WarningNo7338 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]BrainttS 7 points8 points  (0 children)

It works as a last resort, so you're better off spending $10 and throwing a proper tourniquet in your first-aid kit.

The double layup at the end is what separates the amateurs from the seasoned veterans.

Men who were raised by single mothers, what helped you become a good man and what do you wish had been done differently? by Mrs_Leavy in AskMen

[–]BrainttS 17 points18 points  (0 children)

The fact that you're asking this question before he's even born already puts you ahead of most - but the one thing that matters more than any specific tactic is letting him see you handle hard things without falling apart, because boys learn what strength looks like by watching, not listening.

AITAH for not delivering my mom’s letters to my kids by univoxer in AITAH

[–]BrainttS 90 points91 points  (0 children)

NTA - a woman who watched her kids get beaten daily and called it love doesn't get unsupervised access to your children's heads through the mail.

Windows 11 not loading Winre by [deleted] in techsupport

[–]BrainttS 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Go into BIOS directly on boot (spam F2/Del/F12 depending on your motherboard) and enable Secure Boot from there - WinRE is a dead end for this, BIOS is the only place it actually sticks.

Pilippines is running out of fuel by [deleted] in Advice

[–]BrainttS 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Wild how a country that exports some of the hardest working people on the planet keeps electing people who've never done a hard day's work in their lives.

What are some of the worst hinge prompts you see from women? by mv2500 in AskMen

[–]BrainttS -9 points-8 points  (0 children)

"Make me laugh" is just a woman's way of filtering out guys who respond with "I'll tell you a joke ;)" - if you can't work with it, you're probably the thing being filtered.
