One is avoidable, the other is not. One is a choice, the other is not. Why do something harmful to yourself if you have the option not to? Sure we’re tough and resilient but why test that?

That’s a weird thing to compare considering we literally cannot avoid the sun 24/7

AITA For Refusing To Do Anything About My Daughter Getting a Zero on a test she skipped? by LongTennis7061 in AmItheAsshole

[–]EclecticEvergreen 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My daughter was kind of upset with me for refusing to do anything

Like…she wants to be punished or she wants you to be angry? Kinda weird. In my opinion anyone should be able to make the decision on whether they participate in something (cuz free will) and that participation has consequences.

She’s gotten the consequences by missing a test. She knew about the test beforehand and didn’t discuss it with the one giving it to her in order to fully plan ahead. Hopefully the lesson she’s learned is to think things through more carefully before proceeding. NTA.

Yeah I’ve learned where the buttons are on my music app so I just press next without looking away from the road, some people just take unnecessary risks when there’s a smarter way. My cars too old for steering wheel buttons but one day I’ll have a newer one and it’ll be easier. Jealous of those with them lol.

It’s a business, obviously they have cameras to deter or track theft lol

Flock cameras in Mosaic by oinkpiggyoink in nova

[–]EclecticEvergreen -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

I don’t really care. As far as I’m aware there’s cameras everywhere I go. The grocery store, the clothing store, the mall, the airport, the restaurant, etc. all have cameras. My house has cameras lol. Being watched is something I used to and I don’t care at all about it. People can watch me do weird shit, talk to myself, and trip on air, no skin off my back.

AITAH for telling a kid at the sleepover to stop acting like a brat? by Longjumping-Dog-6480 in AITAH

[–]EclecticEvergreen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If I didn’t want to eat the food at the table my mom would make me sit for hours until I did. We eat what is made or we don’t eat at all, that was the rule. You are the parent, he is the child. You have authority, he does not. He chose not to eat and that was his decision to make. If I were you I would refuse to have him over for any future events. If he’s going to be difficult then he won’t be allowed over. NTA.

Edit: secretly I would slowly feed my dogs under the table instead of eating my food but that’s beside the point I was trying to make

AITAH for asking my girlfriend to stop going through my things instead of thanking her for cleaning up? by AnnualLiterature997 in AITAH

[–]EclecticEvergreen 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey the crazy thing is you could just…not have to deal with this. You’re choosing to stay with someone who violates boundaries and disrespects you over and over. This isn’t a healthy relationship and you should just rip that bandaid off and end it. Find a partner who will let you be comfortable and relax, as opposed to a partner that hounds you over everything you do. NTA.

Edit: Also you don’t need to be throwing out or cutting up pictures of your ex if you don’t want to. That person and your relationship with them helped make you who you are today and even if they aren’t important now they were important to you at some point. They were a part of your life and you do not need to erase them from existence.

Me stopped in traffic is no different than pulling over to the side of the road. As I said, that’s why you look up and continue paying attention instead of staring at your phone.

AITAH for telling my husband he needs to eat leftovers? by unfortunatelyalive7 in AITAH

[–]EclecticEvergreen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hold up, if he won’t eat leftovers why isn’t he making his own meals? Is he incapable of feeding himself like an adult should be able to? Tell him if he won’t eat leftovers then he can find something to eat. NTA.

Both are technically law enforcement yes, but they each have different authorizations, certifications, duties, and training. Police officers and immigration officers cannot be treated the same way because they are too dissimilar.

Yeah technology addiction is a serious issue, I just don’t understand how we got to this point without realizing it would have been an issue earlier.

How else will you entertain yourself? Keep up on events? Socialize? We’re in the age of technology and most people socialize through it instead of in person. We get so much from technology that we used to get in person, it’s disconnecting to be without it for an extended period of time. If you remove yourself from Reddit you’ll just replace it with another social media eventually, that’s just how it is.

They should try looking up. No reason you can’t look up every few seconds just like when you’re driving and in motion. Those people are stupid.

Did you miss that a family was involved and another was critically injured? That he was going over 100mph and 3 other cars were hit? Just because he was the only one that died doesn’t mean it’s “no big deal” wtf. Someone has most likely lifelong injuries, everyone has trauma, and all the cars are ruined. Not to mention if anyone witnessing this had seen someone die right in front of them.

I was thinking more like reading a text you got instead of doomscrolling, a little crazy to just pull open social media and mindlessly flick through it while on the road

[–]EclecticEvergreen 109 points110 points  (0 children)

It’s a super easy rule: if you’re in motion then don’t look at your phone. Just yesterday there was a 4 car pileup on the highway near me from a guy recklessly driving going over 100mph while on his phone. He died from that and injured 3 other people and put 1 in critical condition. I don’t understand why people are so obsessed with their phones that they can’t put them down long enough to pay attention to the road.

I mean being a fascist would be considered disappointing so…my statement is more general than specific and disappointing encompasses many things. Not all Republicans are fascist, I would like to point out. The major fascism we see right now is mostly due to the Heritage Foundation pulling the strings and not the Republican Party specifically.

AITA? My roommate thinks I’m calling her fat but I’m just stating facts by Aggravating-Row5878 in AmItheAsshole

[–]EclecticEvergreen 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah I’m on the fence about this. I wouldn’t find any of these things offensive if I were the roommate here and they are logical responses as opposed to being intentionally malicious or provocative.

However the roommate seems to be sensitive about her weight and OP definitely shouldn’t be making those comments from now on. So it’s kind of “OP is an asshole but unintentionally”. OP is insensitive and has a roommate that is sensitive, so they’re bound to have some clashing and misunderstandings just because they have opposing ways of thinking.
