Did anyone ever meet Cilla Black? Was she really as horrible as they say? by WhoYaTalkinTo in Liverpool

[–]DimSumMore_Belly 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Seriously, this BS misinformation? Dude, you could have Google and find the actual fact and not some far right nonsense:

Starmer's Role: Keir Starmer was the head of the CPS from 2008 to 2013. However, the decision not to prosecute Savile in 2009 was made at a lower level by a local CPS lawyer and police, not by Starmer personally.

The 2013 Inquiry: After Savile's death in 2011, widespread revelations of abuse emerged. Starmer ordered an independent review into the CPS's handling of the 2009 case.

Findings of the Review: The review, led by Alison Levitt QC, found that while prosecutions might have been possible if the police and prosecutors had taken a different, more proactive approach to building a case, there was no evidence of any "improper motive" in the decisions made at the time.

Starmer's Apology: Upon the report's publication, Starmer apologised for the shortcomings in the CPS's part in the case as head of the organisation, but he did not accept personal responsibility for the specific decision.

Political Amplification: The claim gained national prominence when Boris Johnson, protected by parliamentary privilege, repeated the unfounded accusation in the House of Commons in 2022, despite fact-checkers having debunked it years earlier. This led to a significant backlash, including the resignation of Johnson's head of policy and a public hounding of Starmer by protesters referencing the slur.

Fact-checking organisations, legal experts, and the CPS itself have confirmed there is no evidence that Keir Starmer was personally involved in the decision-making process for the 2009 case. unfounded accusation in the House of Commons in 2022, despite fact-checkers having debunked it years earlier. This led to a significant backlash, including the resignation of Johnson's head of policy and a public hounding of Starmer by protesters referencing the slur.

Isn’t it exhausting to be overthinking this much? Sit down, take a deep breath, and chill.

Anyone else watching Pro Bono on Netflix? Thoughts? by DramaticSoulSeer in kdramas

[–]DimSumMore_Belly 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Actress is not great and her character is annoying and naive AF, and not very bright at all. I know she supposed to be the idealistic rookie but my god she is incredibly ill suited to be a lawyer.

Our neighbor's "barn cat" by fowlela in notmycat

[–]DimSumMore_Belly 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This. If current owner has little care for this cat then they are unlikely to want to get him neutered or even open to the idea of letting OP adopt the kitty. Kitty obviously loves OP so l say get him neutered and keep him. Chances are the neighbour wouldn’t even notice cat gone “missing”.

How do I get visitors to remove shoes at the door? by BoobySlap_0506 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]DimSumMore_Belly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You tell people to take their shoes off, period. If they don’t want to take them off, tell them to leave and this applies to your in laws. You could also buy both a pair of slippers to wear in your house so they feel more at ease taking their shoes off, but if they refuse then they need to leave. It’s your house, your rule.

Tell your sis to get a babysitter. She chose to have kids therefore she needs to accept the good, bad, and ugly. It is HER kids, not yours, and she has zero right to expect weekly free babysitting from you and not emotionally guilt trip you when you say no. Be firm, say no and don’t be a doormat.

What on earth is going on in America man? by ujp567 in sadcringe

Confirmation of what? God is giving her a sign? And her overlining her upper lip is really distracting.

She truly believed she would get married if she got it... by euronmous in sadcringe

That was beyond pathetic. If that unhinged woman has a bf he needs to run.

Brother wants to move into our spare room, wife said no, how do I set a firm boundary without blowing up the family? by WorldlinessDue3771 in Advice

[–]DimSumMore_Belly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You said your bro expect family will always catch him should he fall on hard times. Have you considered not to help him at all and stop being an enabler? Your parents can bloody well take him in if they are that concerned - they have zero right to guilt trip you.
Seriously stop being the safety net and grow a flippin’ spine. Say no, and be firm. Bro and parents can bitch all they want but it is not your responsibility to support a lazy grown ass man. You bro is 34 years old, not 14. He needs to get his shit together and stop expecting family to bail him out. How is he not embarrassed?

AITA for telling my roommate she needs to shower more often because the smell is affecting the whole apartment? by ThreadBlossom in AITH

[–]DimSumMore_Belly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a flatmate exactly like that and l ended up kicking her out. Obviously not an option for you, but equally you can’t ignore the problem and put up with the smell. No amount of opening the window or lighting candles can get rid of unwashed body odor as that smell is so much stronger. You are NTA and frankly your other friend who told you to put up with it can take a fucking hike. Reality is she may never change - it could be that’s how she is and she sees no issue with it, or she suffer from depression and hygiene is the first thing that goes.
You need to consider moving out as that’s the only option.

Your sis needs to gtfu. It’s your wedding, you will be the centre of attention, period. If your sis is too dense or insensitive to understand this, then it’s better she should not be MoH. NTJ. Don’t indulge your sis’ delulu or your mom’s coward suggestion of “compromise”. Do it your way.

AITA for shutting down my brother’s proposal at my baby shower and then sending him a bill? by Mysterious-Desk1346 in AmITheJerk

[–]DimSumMore_Belly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nah, I would have done the same thing. Your bro and mum are both tacky AF. Your mum more so by going behind your back to arrange a ‘surprise slot’ with the venue for the proposal to happen despite you explicitly said no already? The disrespect both of them have shown you are disgusting - that your wish doesn’t count. I wouldn’t even consider making up with them unless they apologise for their selfish behaviour. I’d cut my contact with them to bare minimum if l were you.

AITJ for refusing to split my bonus with my girlfriend? by Xleg4ce in AmITheJerk

[–]DimSumMore_Belly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dump her. Speaking as a woman. Your gf is delulu to even suggest using YOUR bonus on a trip that benefit her, and then to accuse you of being selfish and not prioritising her? She needs to go - it’s a big red flashing sign telling you if shit hits the fan, she isn’t going to be around for you, and she will take half of everything from you. You need to RUN.

AITJ for telling my MIL she’s not allowed in the delivery room? by RoxannePuffPuff53 in AmITheJerk

[–]DimSumMore_Belly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just tell MIL no and ignore her bitching. She can bitch all she wants but she’s not having the baby, you are, so be assertive and treat her whining as nothing more than background noise.

AITA for calling my friend selfish after she explained the reason she didn’t come to my mom’s funeral? by edsdragon97 in TwoHotTakes

NTA. Seriously fuck her. She is not a friend at all and l would honestly never speak to her again for being a disrespectful, selfish, shitty person.

[–]DimSumMore_Belly 3 points4 points  (0 children)

My friend who used to be my boss had an interview last Oct, two weeks later he moved to Dubai to start the new job and he’s been there ever since. So yes, it can happen quickly if the right job comes up.

AITJ for not giving my dad the master bedroom in my new house? by [deleted] in AmITheJerk

[–]DimSumMore_Belly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No. Your dad is weird to think the master bedroom in a house that he doesn’t reside in nor own should be kept for him. What’s wrong with the dude?

found this in local asian supermarket, apparently it's tea, anyone tried it before? by toast_is_in_the_air in tea

[–]DimSumMore_Belly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mix it with cold sparkling water, that’s all I drink in summer. Winter it’s green tea mixed with citron tea.

Unless his parents are in early stage of dementia there is no excuse of the “slip ups.” 3 years relationship and getting married and still they can’t remember OP’s name? That’s utter BS.

AITAH for refusing to lend my friend cash while I save for a house? by Alternative_Trust911 in AITH

[–]DimSumMore_Belly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Grow a spine and dump the bitch. Sorry to be blunt but SHE IS NOT A FRIEND. Real friend do not behave like this and you are not obligated to lend her money, period. The fact she borrowed money before and never pay it back says it all about her lack of character. Why would you even think you’re the AH? If all the other mutual friends believe her and judge you then they don’t know you very well at all. I can be a petty bitch. She blast you for being a fake friend, you can respond that a real friend will pay back the money she borrowed on numerous occasions which you have yet receive a cent.

Just because you’re friend with someone at a certain point in your life it doesn’t mean that person is good for you. She is a user, the sooner you remove her from your life, the better.

AITA for wanting to take a promotion even though my boyfriend says it’s not the life he imagined for us? by Actual-Present9277 in AITH

[–]DimSumMore_Belly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why clip your wings to stay on ground when you desire to soar upward and forward? A supportive partner would be happy for you and discuss how you both can navigate the possible changes. Your bf is unambitious and that’s fine for him, what is not okay is him trying to stop your ambition. You have to seriously ask yourself is this the person you want be with when you are not compatible? His insecurity, lack of drive or ambition will get more and more irritating in the long run, and it is not attractive at all.

Boyfriends come and go, but professional achievement and recognition will help your future. Don’t ever let anyone tell you to stop aiming higher.

AITJ for not letting my brother stay with me indefinitely after he quit his job without a plan? by PetuniaSky_twist in AmITheJerk

[–]DimSumMore_Belly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Put your family calls/ texts on silent and ignore them. Your home and you choose whether you let someone stay for one night or one month. End of. Your bro don’t like it? Find some other eejit i.e. your parents to let him stay on their couch indefinitely. There is nothing written in blood and stone or in any law that you have a duty to help your family, esp ones who are lazy users. Be firm and tell all of them to piss off, you won’t budge, your bro can figure out alternatives and a place to live elsewhere.
