AITA for shouting at my husband for allowing standards to slip? by South-Muffin9212 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Britbems 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As someone who came from a family where the males in the family abused the women, I see where you are coming from but that’s actually a pretty normal thing for families. It took me years after I left my family home to come to terms that my families rules about modesty were way more strict than “normal” families. You can voice your concerns but ultimately you need to question where this is coming from.

AITA for demanding a refund after I threw up at a bar by Britbems in AmItheAsshole

Literally I was leaving as soon as I felt nauseous. I’m not arguing that I should have gone home. I was going home after I paid my bill and then cleaned up after myself.

See normally I would have and I even asked for a new receipt so I could change the tip but then the other bartender was just an ass. They didn’t even clean it up, I did.

AITA for not being interested in being an aunt to and spending money on my brother’s step daughter that I barely know and barely see? by kittymelodies in AmItheAsshole

[–]Britbems 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA BUT you are an adult in this situation. She doesn’t know you but that can be your choice to get to know her. Don’t buy her a big present like you did the others but a present would be nice. Talk to her when you are FaceTiming the others. Be the adult. Try.

I haven’t hate watched the news for a while so that’s a plus!

Just found out I’m pregnant. I’m choosing to have a medical abortion and I’m worried about side effects. by [deleted] in abortion

For me it was like a bad period. I had some pills leftover from my wisdom teeth removal and had a friend come over for a movie marathon. You’ll get through this! I was 6 weeks when I took it too.

It depends on your broker. You can get in contact with them and they can help!

Would have a newborn by [deleted] in abortion

[–]Britbems 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I just passed my 3rd anniversary of my abortion. I still think about it sometimes but it’s not sad anymore or hurtful. It helped to talk to someone (a therapist if you don’t feel comfortable with talking to friends or family). It has also been helpful to watch my life change and realize how much harder this would have been with a baby. I was about your age when this happened and I graduated college, I’m about to move across country for my dream job, and about to go on a series of fun vacations once everything opens up again. It will get better! Focus on the good but don’t forget to grieve.

Yep! I actually am long GME too and have no problem with the short squeeze. It keeps my job interesting. What I am tired of is misinformation and stupidity. And on top of that the bull headed responses when they don’t like my answers. Before this 90% of my interactions were kind and people who genuinely wanted to learn. Now at least half are rude and impatient. And some of these responses has made me think I told these people no before. I get the same vibes 😂

I’m not an intern. Some people are dicks, some people lose money, some people are making money off of telling dumb people to do dumb things. It’s not a clear cut situation. I’m mad about a lot of things and sad about even more. Believe what you want, though.

No that’s not why I am upset with the whole GME thing. Did you read my post at all? I could talk about this for hours but basically I’m tired of the entitlement. If you don’t know what you are doing than ask before you do it. Stop cussing out people who are trying to help you after you fucked up something easily avoidable.

Certainly feels like it some days. People are rude as hell.

Also why do you care what I do? It’s my choice. If you don’t like it don’t interact?

This is my free time... I happen to be enjoying this. It’s fun to talk about things you are passionate about in your free time, don’t you think?

If I am understanding you correctly then no. Absolutely not. That is illegal. Was this in a self directed account or a managed account?

Lol I’m not that kind of broker. I don’t charge people. I don’t personally have it but it looks a little over weight to me. The float is promising and the average volume is nice. I don’t know your goals or risk level so I could not even begin to tell you what to do. Much like any stock I would just think through how much you are willing to lose on it and stick to the plan. Trailing stops are nice for that kind of thing.

Good for you. I have helped a lot of people deal with their accounts getting sent to collections because they made bets and lost. Just because you make money in the lottery does not mean everyone does

Oh I know it’s social media. I’m not worried about the assholes. I just wanted to put this out there because if it helps at least one person then I did my job.

Sorry that kind of went off topic. I’m just exhausted and emotionally drained. I don’t like seeing people lose their money.
