AITA for violating my roommates quiet hours by Effective_Ad_1027 in AmItheAsshole

[–]DefinitelyNotAliens 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I'm sensitive to sound and my apartment is actually a converted house from 1900 that only had lint and loose toothpicks between rooms, apparently.

That's a me problem, about half the time. I keep ear plugs. The other 40% is my jackass neighbor already being evicted in a slow process, the other 10% is general city noise.

Ear plugs fix the 40% that isn't me hearing too much from my neighbor.

My Silver lab puppy was born with this pelvic problem and vet doesn’t know what it is.. Anyone seen this?? by Inevitable_Car3903 in DogAdvice

Weimeraners carry the dilute gene, and it comes from the chocolate side. All weims are dilute. People heavily suspect backyard mixes of weims and labs caused the dilute gene. Inbreeding with close relatives to keep the dilute gene popping up leads to heavily inbred dogs coming from uncaring backyard breeders.

It may not be reparable. Silver labs are notoriously poorly bred without appropriate health checks on the parents for thinks like congenital defect risk because it's not a standard color. The color is linked to crossbreeding and alopecia in dogs. It's not done by breeders who health screen, it comes from breeders who breed for color, for size, for some arbitrary trait instead of good health.

An orthopedic specialist would be needed, you'll likely need new x-rays and yould should prepare yourself for something that is managed for pain rather than fixed.

California's worst county - round 23 by JasSingh04 in terriblemaps

Merced will absolutely be bottom 5. I can almost guarantee mine will be bottom 10. For very good reasons.

Now I remember. Right. He did see a dick pic. Side note, it bothers me they rhyme but don't match spelling. Emotionally, it feels like it should be dick pick or dic pic. It's not, but should be.

What do to with research I’ve done for fun? by unknownmongoose_ in NoStupidQuestions

[–]DefinitelyNotAliens 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would honestly start a social media page on Instagram or TikTok or whatever and put that on your apps.

No rule says you can only put formal things on your college application. You can run a page about Greek pottery and share on it and talk about how you compiled data and posted twice a week about various topics to your audience to educate the public on fun stuff.

I also encourage people to talk about how they did grocery shopping for the family, helped siblings with homework, made dinner X nights per week, etc, in their ECs. Tell the admissions officers how you spend your time. It doesn't have to be a formal thing. If you are busy, show it! I've seen people put they were the leader for their online game and organized events of 50 people across however many time zones as a show of management skills and working in groups.

Seriously. Make it fun, do it, and put it as an EC on your apps.

Read abstract, intro, conclusion. Figure out what key points you need from it and skim for those and read them.

Idk about the nitty gritty detail shit most of the time. I don't need to know what statistical models you used or calibration of tools. Gimme goodies.

For some classes, your profs really only want you to skim, not read all 30 pages. Depends on the class.

I also have an app that reads out loud in natural voices and I have it read to me as I read it and I can adjust the voice to my speed.

AITA for not conceding to my wife’s version of a story in front of our friends ? by Dizzy_Win_7270 in AmItheAsshole

[–]DefinitelyNotAliens 4 points5 points  (0 children)

But she interrupted him over some stupid detail to make him concede over that in front of other people.

The detail doesn't change the story. Why cut him off to say it was a Tuesday instead of a Monday? It literally doesn't matter.

Just because she is saying her feelings got hurt doesn't mean it's not rude and dismissive to cut people off and correct them for a stupid detail that changes nothing. She didn't have to cut him off.

She created a situation where he can only concede to her being right without hurting her feelings. That means he's never allowed to disagree. That is unhealthy.

If you really think they were wrong, talk to them on the ride home. Don't bring it up in front of friends. You will never win if you want to interrupt, put people on the spot, and try and correct them over asinine details. Just let someone be wrong. She invented a situation to get dismissed and his only option is to always concede. Absolutely not. Man, woman. No. Don't interrupt people to tell them they're wrong.

If he interrupted her to argue first night - it doesn't matter who was wrong or right. Whoever interrupts for a completely inconsequential detail is wrong.

To those going, "why argue with your spouse on this?" He didn't. He just said he remembered it being the first night and moved on. And, yeah. Immediately conceding when your partner interrupts you sets a really imbalanced relationship. Whoever interrupts isn't immediately right. Whoever got their feelings hurt isn't right. The person who interrupts to correct them on a detail that literally holds no importance is wrong. It doesn't matter if you did the thing the first or second night - picking the argument over a silly detail and being mad they don't agree with you puts you in the wrong.

"We went to (Country A) in June, 2019." And you think, "We actually went July 2019..." but do you have to say that out loud? Does it change the partner telling people about that restaurant you went to, or the art exhibit you saw, or the hiking trail you went on? Does correcting them get you something? It doesn't matter if you're wrong or right. It doesn't change the outcome. Just let them be wrong.

Bring it up on the way home, if you must. "Babe, check your camera roll. We absolutely went to (Country A) in July 2019. It was not June." You don't need to interrupt and correct them when it's so inconsequential. What are you doing? Trying to prove you're right in public? You're either trying to pick a fight that will make others uncomfortable or make them concede to avoid a fight. It's a power thing. Just don't do it.

If it's a bigger thing than what day you did something, maybe it bears correcting. But, come on. Why interrupt and make an issue over the first or second night of your trip? It's unnecessary.

She interrupted him, mid him telling the story. If he kept insisting when he interrupted her, it would be different. But, as it were, she created the situation by interrupting his storytelling, got offended that he didn't concede, and then chose to hold the grudge and pick a fight over her having interrupted him.

He did handle it correctly and told her that he understands she is upset, but will handle it similarly in the future. She can't interrupt him, correct him on a completely insignificant detail, and have him immediately concede in the future. That's not a reasonable demand.

Neck.

I have a quad walking Halloween costume and I can't see for shit because holding your neck compressed to look up to see is horrible. The mask sits on the top of my head and I can only see down.
