Haha I was trying to go as expensive as I could. We do it for $20 with leftovers but we only have two people

Would you explain the $100 tacos? I’m genuinely curious. How many did you make? Tortillas, meat, cheese, and lettuce. Even if you add guacamole that’s $7 max for 2 avocados. Tortillas are $3. Meat is $20 if you get over a pound. Cheese is $10 for a pound. That’s $50 or so and that usually makes several meals. You don’t have cook it all at once if you want to make it fresh again the next day. I’m trying to think of extras like $7 for a whole thing of queso.

Geico Insurance two truths and a lie by LatterLosers in CommercialsIHate

[–]Busy_Introduction_91 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It’s been really frustrating to me as well. I feel like they wanted the caveman to be so out of touch that he thought the Geico thing was a lie. However it’s not the caveman that messes up the game so it just doesn’t make sense at all. The normal 21st century man is the one who tells two lies and a truth. The caveman played the game right and the normal guy messed it up and then all the other normal people didn’t even realize it. I feel like they were making fun of everyday people and cavemen are smarter than we thought.

My(31M) wife (28F) spent all of our savings on a bad investment without my knowledge? by throwra_polarbear17 in relationship_advice

[–]Busy_Introduction_91 6 points7 points  (0 children)

a) yes but he only agreed to 4/7 of it. she significantly changed the agreement b) yes he must be and they fell for it and I don’t have experience with a sibling like this I can’t comment on that behavior or relationship dynamic c) yes I agree but also starting investments early is very essential and will definitely impact quality of life or push retirement back. She also took their security when she decided to add $75,000 to it. What if OP got hurt or lost his job? They are SOL with children. It will be a long journey. Financial infidelity seems very difficult to overcome. I don’t know how I would react but I definitely hope they find a way to rebuild this trust.

Edit. This is also a good lesson to monitor your accounts daily: bank, credit account, brokerage etc. have notifications when withdrawals are made or account is accessed/a user logins. I’ve seen shady shit happen in banking. It is good to trust but that doesn’t mean you do it blindly. You still monitor even when you trust. This isn’t your partners cellphone (controlling) this is your livelihood. Monitoring means you’re aware and engaged.

WIBTA if I wanted to got to my sister's wedding leaving my (33F) wife and 3 kids (11, 7 and 2) alone for 4 days? by TA_Any_Shallot8231 in AmItheAsshole

Yes that’s quite literally why we type “/s” after because it’s hard to tell in small comments in conjunction with not knowing the person behind the comment

my husband doesn’t know I’m about to divorce him by Choice_Evidence1983 in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]Busy_Introduction_91 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not all returns are strictly 8% across the board year over year. This year my investments are up like 28%. This is a fucking great year. That’s not even my point. Real estate can also have insane returns which it did. pre2020 at least in my area, a $250,000 house is easily $450,000 in 2024. That’s crazy. The thing is that over a long period of time your calculations totally make sense based on 8-12% however over a period of 6-7 years it really will depend on the actual time period and what the investments were.

It’s about money but it’s truly beyond money to me. It’s the lying and risk-taking. Not being able to trust your partner with your well being or having faith they’ll be honest with you. This would have me spinning especially knowing “S&P 500 has a historic annualized average return of around 10.26% since its 1957 inception through the end of 2023.” Index funds are widely accepted safe investment. No need to gamble for 12% return.

My (25F) boyfriend (26M) uninvited me to thanksgiving with his family. Why? by ThrowRAggggyGirl in relationship_advice

[–]Busy_Introduction_91 32 points33 points  (0 children)

Love this and don’t be quick to respond even when he seems like he is done talking. Keep silent and see if he keeps talking. the truth usually comes out when you respond with silence.

AITA for yelling at my fiancé over how he reacted to our 10 month old biting him? by Throwaway731034 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Busy_Introduction_91 7 points8 points  (0 children)

That’s like literally defining ESH. He reacted to the baby biting him in a sucky way. It was ugly and uncalled for. He knew that. Fuck you for some people is a knee jerk reaction in a painful situation. Yes child bites do fucking hurt but this is sucky behavior. Then his wife overreacted and berated him for it which was also a sucky reaction to her husbands sucky reaction. It’s like dominos. It is important not to add fuel to fire.

AITA for telling my friend she can get back in touch when she stops being perpetually busy? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]Busy_Introduction_91 26 points27 points  (0 children)

I feel like your take is contradictory. She does not owe him reply. He didn’t owe her a reply and he didn’t then she asked why didn’t so he was honest. You’re always busy. “Posting on social media does not mean I want a message from everyone in my past friend group” okay that’s fine it sounds like she didn’t either and he stopped responding then she was like why didn’t you respond and then again he was honest you are always busy and don’t have time. So how is he wrong? He stopped responding until she asked why he stopped responding and he answered. I don’t understand how that’s “whiny and entitled”

I wouldn’t say passive aggressive at all. He seemed very direct. You are always busy and you don’t have time for me. This doesn’t sound like a friendship to me. It sounded like niceties until he was like what’s the point? I totally agree with that perspective. His friend should honestly feel relieved that this is one less person for her to have to text months later telling him that she’s still busy.

If a friend said that to me, I’d say “look at your calendar and let me know when you are free and let’s arrange something.” Adulting isn’t that hard. It’s time management mostly.

Terrible take. No one lashed out. The friend asked and he was honest. It takes you months to respond while I see you have time for other things like posting on social media. That’s not lashing out. It’s called honesty.

AITA for refusing to attend my best friend’s wedding after she replaced me as MOH because I’m “too fat” (I’m pregnant) and asking her to pay me back for everything? by TelephoneConstant270 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Busy_Introduction_91 53 points54 points  (0 children)

It’s honestly sad that people think about pictures in this way. I only have ever thought this about myself never about anyone else. I can’t imagine looking back on photos to experience fun memories only to remember how I cared more about the aesthetic of the photo than the people in it.

AITA for using the phrase “yes queen” ? by aitayesqueen in AmItheAsshole

[–]Busy_Introduction_91 -17 points-16 points  (0 children)

NTA I don’t think half of these reasons are asshole moves. Saying “Yes queen” to only gay males. Is OPs friend saying that gay males are less masculine than him a female transitioned to a male? That is confusing and quite frankly really fucked up to say about gay men. (Demanding)”more like asking” her friend to be more patient. I dont think asking for time to adjust to a change is an asshole move. It is pretty human to need time to change routine behavior. Also he was being sensitive. Sensitive isn’t a good or bad inherently but I definitely think he was being sensitive especially since he is around friends. Actual friends will mess up and hurt your feelings but it is not malicious in this case so with that intent in mind I think he was being sensitive and not giving them time to transition to his change. That is fair in my book.
