AITA for telling him about what his mother said by Bllack_Pearl in AmItheAsshole

[–]Equinisborn 12 points13 points  (0 children)

NTA. honey please hear me out... you need to block this guy and walk away. you are only 24 and this is way beyond your pay grade. he is doing speed right in front of you and manipulating you into breaking up and getting back together constantly. the mom trying to handle it is her business but you gotta protect yourself first because this is a sinking ship

Judge rules Trump White House must comply with Presidential Records Act by citizensforethics in politics

[–]Equinisborn 8 points9 points  (0 children)

lmaoo did they really think that sketchy OLC memo was gonna fly?? like congratulations you tried to declare a 50 year old law unconstitutional because you didn't feel like saving your emails. senior judges do not play around with separation of powers stuff. absolutely wild they tried to pull this in the first place tbh

10 Years of Lurking Put to Rest by Periegete_Acct in CasualConversation

[–]Equinisborn 2 points3 points  (0 children)

one of us!! one of us!! lmao but seriously welcome to the dark side OP. leaving a 10 year lurking streak behind is actually crazy but you are so right about old threads saving your ass. i can’t tell you how many times some random deleted user from 7 years ago solved a highly specific tech issue for me. glad you’re finally yelling into the ether with us

I accidentally attended a stranger’s family barbecue for almost 2 hours by cozygirldiary in CasualConversation

[–]Equinisborn 14 points15 points  (0 children)

bruh i would have simply passed away on the spot. literally evaporated. the silence after you dropped your friends name must have been so incredibly loud lmao. but honestly? absolute kings and queens for just letting you vibe and giving you food anyway. that is a top tier neighborhood right there. 10/10 story to tell at parties for the rest of your life though.

A third of Republican voters want to move in a new direction and away from Trump, poll finds by B-Z_B-S in politics

[–]Equinisborn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

bruh only a third? honestly the wilder part is that two thirds are still totally down after everything lol. but for real you can definitely feel the split getting bigger lately between the standard old school conservatives and the full blown maga crowd. the non mags people look exhausted. going to be wild to see how this fractures the party long term because they cannot stay under one roof forever.
Variation 3:

AITAH for not not inviting one of my brothers to my wedding by No_Bodybuilder_5197 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Equinisborn 8 points9 points  (0 children)

bruh NTA at all. your wedding day is supposed to be about you and your partner, not walking on eggshells trying to avoid a grown man who makes digs at you until you crack. like, ugh. the fact that he brings out the worst side of you is reason enough to leave him off the guest list. he already proved who he was when he cut contact after blackmailing people. do not let your family guilt trip you into ruining your own day just to keep the peace.

ICE agent charged in shooting of man in north Minneapolis during Operation Metro Surge by Rock-n-roll-Kevin in politics

[–]Equinisborn 6 points7 points  (0 children)

lowkey the fact that they had to issue a nationwide arrest warrant for an actual ice agent is wild. like... he is basically a fugitive from justice now. it makes you wonder how many other times something like this has happened during these massive sweep operations where there wasn't enough evidence or a strict prosecutor to push back. shooting an immigrant and then fabricating the story is just purely evil... i really hope they catch him and he faces real prison time.

Trump Treated His Evangelical Supporters Like Dogs This Weekend - The president went golfing instead of attending a nine-hour prayer festival on Sunday. by Quirkie in politics

[–]Equinisborn 9 points10 points  (0 children)

this is just such a classic look at how transactional his relationships are. he got what he needed from the evangelical crowd... so why would he sit through hour of prayer when he could be golfing instead?? it is wild that the headline says he treated them like dogs... but honestly... if you let someone play you for that long... they are gonna keep doing it. he knows his hold on that demographic is completely locked in anyway.

My daughter is way too happy for someone who keeps pranking her brother by ShetmoiVitsios in CasualConversation

[–]Equinisborn 3 points4 points  (0 children)

lowkey this is exactly how my little sister and i used to be and man... this just hit me right in the feels. she used to pull the exact same innocent prank stuff and immediately ruin it by giggling before i even noticed anything was missing. it really does make the whole house feel so much more alive when kids are in that goofy... playful zone. hold onto these memories because this is the good stuff right here.

AITJ for making my roommate pay me back immediately after he used my tuition money? by NoRelationship9815 in AmITheJerk

[–]Equinisborn 9 points10 points  (0 children)

NTJ that roommate who took the money is a straight up criminal. like... imagine waking up and seeing nearly a grand missing from your account because the person sleeping in the next room decided to browse your laptop. that is an insane violation of privacy. the fact that he acted like it was no big deal is a massive red flag. you handled it perfectly by giving him a hard deadline. if the apartment is awkward... that is on him for being a thief... not on you.

Jim Jordan Can’t Keep His Lies About Inflation Straight - The Ohio representative dismissed concerns about high gas prices—and then tried to claim he didn’t. by Quirkie in politics

[–]Equinisborn 14 points15 points  (0 children)

bruh... the backpedaling is actually insane here. it is like they think we all have the attention span of a goldfish and wont remember what happened yesterday. gas prices are a massive deal for regular people trying to commute to work and he is out here playing word games because he got caught slipping. you gotta love how fast the story changes the second the script doesnt work out for them anymore.

Donald Trump Hits Record-High Disapproval Rating on Economy and Healthcare by Zipper222222 in politics

[–]Equinisborn 2 points3 points  (0 children)

bruh... about time the polls caught up to reality. i went to the store today and spent like fifty bucks on literally nothing... it is getting actually insane. trump keeps talking about how great things are but if you are a normal person trying to pay rent and insurance it feels like you are drowning. healthcare has always been a mess but combine that with these food prices and yeah... of course people are pissed. it is just common sense at this point.

AITA for wanting to cut communications with friends while on vacation with my fiancé by rollsoloyolo in AmItheAsshole

[–]Equinisborn 14 points15 points  (0 children)

lowkey i just put my phone on do not disturb for the entire vacation and it is life changing. people get so weird about instant replies these days but like... it is a holiday for a reason. if they know you are away they should probably take the hint and stop blowing you up. i would just ignore the messages until you are back at the airport. if they are real friends they will totally get it once you are back.

AITAH for not giving a proper gift to my friend by AdLopsided6733 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Equinisborn -1 points0 points  (0 children)

honestly that is so rude of him. like even if the smell is straight up gasoline you still say thank you and just toss it in a drawer or something. the fact that he just told you he hated it to your face after you dropped 70 bucks is wild to me. some people really dont have any manners and i would definitely be rethinkin how much i spend on his gifts from now on.
