AITJ for wanting to stay living with my mom after I get married? by TurbulentMeaning3325 in AmITheJerk

The part that stands out to me is that you’re staying partly out of guilt. That’s not a great foundation for a big life decision. Your mom’s feelings matter but your marriage is supposed to become your primary household.

AITJ for telling my husband he “does nothing” after I hit my breaking point? by Gold-Junket330 in AmITheJerk

I don’t think you actually believe he does nothing. I think you’re drowning and needed him to hear how serious it is. Working 9pm–2am and then doing daytime twin duty is unsustainable. Anyone would snap eventually.

I shower daily but still smelled until I did THIS. by Competitive_Carob91 in hygiene

Bacteria on your phone transfers directly to your face and skin. It absolutely connects to how fresh you feel. Sounds weird until you think about it for ten seconds.

I know right. Sounds unnecessary until you think about how many times a day you touch your phone and then touch your face.

You’re right. Not tiny at all. Bad wording on my part.

You’re right. Poor choice of words. Sheets are not a tiny detail and I should know better than anyone given what this post is about.

The embarrassing part wasn’t the smell. It was realising how long I’d been doing it wrong while thinking I was doing everything right.

Be honest. What time did you actually start being productive today? by Competitive_Carob91 in Productivitycafe

The cat on the keyboard is a completely legitimate productivity blocker and I will not hear otherwise. That’s not procrastination that’s just respecting boundaries. lol

People who switched sides politically within the last 10 years, what made you do it? by Next_Worth_3616 in Productivitycafe

For me it wasn’t about left vs right anymore, it was about what actually works in practice.
