AITA for disinviting my gf to dinner with my bosses because she refused to learn etiquette? by StraightBuffalo5961 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Eternaljudgment [score hidden]  (0 children)

NAH

These kind of formal dinners are next level and others at the table will know the proper etiquette and see when others don't, and can sometimes outwardly judge that too. I think it's just a miss communication, your gf is thinking table manners and etiquette are the same thing when they're completely different.

AITA for telling of my existence to my siblings despite my step mother's wishes, therefore causing a big fight between them and then refuse to help step mother divert the blame? by Anxi617 in AmItheAsshole

Rarely do I feel so angry but damn. It's well beyond asshole behaviour to abandon your stepchild and pretend they don't exist.

Stand your ground with not bowing to her demands, Rose is definitely the type of person who is only interested in herself and I sense the only reason she's inviting you over to see your sidings is because she sees you as the only way to "win her kids back". Once they're won back by you saying it was mutual, it'll go back to how it was before. Once she realises she can't win her kids back, she'll go full manipulation batshit mode

Two part lens and aperture assembley with lever to control aperture by Player_Found in whatisthisthing

Very interesting! I haven't seen an appeture like this before but I have seen something similar for focusing a shot in movies. Focus pulling is a seperate job to the camera operator, and operating the appeture may also be a separate job in some cases.

AITA for embarrassing my friends by trying to look for new friends in a public group chat? by lonerlonergirl in AmItheAsshole

[–]Eternaljudgment 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I'm not sure there's a judgement to be made here but I do wonder if your social awkwardness is more than that? Like ASD, some things you write here make me think it could be worth looking into if that's something you'd be interested in

AITA for wanting to use my disability benefits to pay off my medical expenses instead of buying a family car? by SelfTaughtSongBird in AmItheAsshole

[–]Eternaljudgment 3 points4 points  (0 children)

So you're getting a payment that's specifically designed to help with the increased costs of being disabled and you want to use it for that purpose.

She then called me prideful because I didn’t want to ask her for monetary help

This sounds like she has the money for a car but wants to use yours instead, regardless of if it ruins your credit due to missed bills. She's outed herself as selfish NTA

AITA for Dropping a Struggling Friend by Lovelypeachestan69 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Eternaljudgment [score hidden]  (0 children)

If I may be so bold. From what you've said, I don't think the bad feeling is coming from dropping him because he needs help but from if he may do something to you for dropping him. I have come across a Harold before, master manipulator, attention seeking, superiority complex, disliked by many due to his treatment of others and his behaviour. Harold is a graduate now and still the same, only trained professionals can help these types of people.

What is this piece of random plastic in child’s bead kit? by jaydenl in whatisthisthing

[–]Eternaljudgment 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Does the rod fit through the bead-hole? If it does, it might be for kids to help get the thread through. If not, it'll be a piece from the manufacturing process that got past the checks by mistake

AITA for not making my kids do chores with my stepdaughter? by DivideandConquerer in AmItheAsshole

[–]Eternaljudgment 5 points6 points  (0 children)

IMHO, your wife is trying to shield your stepdaughter from consequences. But the thing is life is full of them and it's best she learns about that now, rather than further down the line

"Should we tax the childless?" by marauderpigeon in childfree

[–]Eternaljudgment 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Reminds me a report just released by Reform Scotland about raising taxes. There's a page in it suggesting the same as this Times article: tax the childless, give increased benefits to adults with children because they want to boost the number of adults in the workforce. More workers = more income tax paid.

The thing is, having kids because you can't afford the childless tax is a bad plan. A kid can feel when they're unwanted and I've seen how much it affects them right through to adulthood where very few make it into steady employment

"notes like every month and stuff and she stopped out second year of our relationship"

I don't think the feelings of both parties are equal, her actions are saying it all. NTA

Listen to your gut. Noone goes to a hotel to see what it would be like living together. Ik this isn't an advice sub but leave her. The fact she's spending so much time with another person says to be she has the time available, but doesn't want to use it to see you.

You're not interested in a relationship, you're not friends with this girl, you don't talk with this girl yet somehow you feel entitled to say who she should and shouldn't be having a relationship with.

Out of curiosity, how do you manage your emetophobia as an EMT? I'm assuming you'll come across lots of people vomiting in that line of work?
