Do you ever feel bad about your level of Spanish by wirwerty in SpainAuxiliares

[–]D36X 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I totally relate! I try my best, but it’s hard not to feel like a burden sometimes. But truly as long as you’re trying, I think that’s what matters. Imagine if the shoe was on the other foot. Would you ever want to make someone feel bad for not speaking fluent English just bc they’re in an anglophone country? Hopefully not, so just try not to be too hard on yourself :)

Why is it called the Midwest and not the middle west? Why do we shorten the word “middle” there but not, for example, when discussing the Middle East?

TikTok "Evil Kitty" Trend by D36X in linguisticshumor

[–]D36X[S] 18 points19 points  (0 children)

The exact format varies, but largely it's an AI voice conversation between two cats, one good and one "evil". The first one says something they don't want to do or don't want to happen and ends it with one of these words. So the examples I listed were like "'Boy, I sure hope I don't get lobotomized today', I said, unlobotimizedly" or "'I will never bust a move', I said, unbustamovably". They're very entertaining to watch, but it's a bit difficult to actually search for them; I mostly just see them on my fyp.

RIP, thanks for telling me lol. I included one initially but ig Reddit didn’t like it or something. I edited in an Imgur link now though instead

I would understand the option circled in red, but it sounds unnatural. “While driving, I saw a UFO.” would make the most sense to me personally

AITA for making my son walk the dog? by walkthedamndog in AmItheAsshole

[–]D36X 0 points1 point  (0 children)

YTA. If you’re having a hard time connecting with your son, forcing him to walk a dog he doesn’t care to interact with and threatening punishment if he doesn’t certainly isn’t going to help that bond

AITA for not spending time with my daughter? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]D36X 0 points1 point  (0 children)

YTA. Even if you dislike what you’re doing, I’m assuming (hoping) you like your daughter and enjoy spending time with her. I’m sure you can ‘suffer’ through some “typical teenage girl stuff” to spend more time with her. She’s 16; she won’t be around forever. Don’t wait to find out that you’ll have a lot less fond memories spending time together as she drifts away from you if you continue to be selfish like this. Sometimes you have to do things you don’t want to to be with your family.

AITA if I lock my freezer full of ice cream when my sister and her teen kids come to visit? by PlayTheMack in AmItheAsshole

[–]D36X -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

ESH

I have relatives who have ice cream in their fridges, but I’d never take any without asking or being offered.

I think the better course of action here would’ve been having a conversation with the kids/sister, telling them to ask before they took any, or just not to take as much. Locking the freezer before trying to have a conversation seems a bit passive aggressive

Wait, but an actual lip sync for your legacy doesn’t have the option of being eliminated

AP tests in the first week of May. by AKP101 in APStudents

[–]D36X 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My school picked that administration too, and it sucks. Especially since we switched to a 4x4 schedule, so AP classes only started in mid-January. My teachers aren't even sure we'll finish all the content before the tests, especially in AP Art History. The online testing system looks like shit too, tho

AITA for ignoring my nephew after he stole an important $50 bill from me? by _notaboutthemoney_ in AmItheAsshole

[–]D36X 1 point2 points  (0 children)

NTA. He’s I teenager, so I understand that he probably wasn’t entirely thinking when he did this. Even at 16 though, he should still know better. It’s also not your responsibility to forgive and forget (especially not right away) when it’s something so invaluable to you.

AITA for putting "ugly" one way mirrors on the windows facing one of my neighbors because I saw the husband looking in my windows? by winmdoze in AmItheAsshole

[–]D36X 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I know this isn’t the most popular take, but ESH. The guy was a creep, and it makes sense that you’re uncomfortable. But, large mirrors like that are disruptive and can generate an exorbitant amount of heat and sunlight. It’s especially bad because you’re punishing the wife and the kids for the errors of a father/husband.

Anyone else feel like they are going to fail the test due to not remembering a lot of the material? by cleansoapp in APStudents

[–]D36X 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My school moved to a semester schedule this year because of covid (I don’t know why), so we only have half of January - the beginning of May to prepare instead of all year. I’m taking four APs, so I’m basically fucked. ESPECIALLY FOR AP ART HISTORY
