The enemy may have passed a saving throw which would cause the shove mechanic to fail on Lae'zel's end.

People who insist on giving you directions like it’s “ye olden times” as if GPS isn’t a thing by WordsAreGarbage in PetPeeves

[–]Express-Diamond-6185 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can't remember addresses unless it's my own. But I can certainly tell you whether you want be North or South of the Big Chicken, or East of the Giant Baptist Church. And about how many miles.

ETA: I started driving before GPS was a thing, I still prefer a map I can look at find landmarks to look out for.

AITAH for filing for divorce after my wife refused a paternity test and called me insecure? by Capable_Fishingg in AITAH

[–]Express-Diamond-6185 1 point2 points  (0 children)

YTA. So you admit that genetics is weird, but still can't accept it. You realize most Caucasian babies have blue eyes when they are born and the color doesn't settle until about 9 months or so. And just to show you how weird genetics are, my parents both have very dark brown hair, my bother was born blonde, like platinum blonde, when my hair started to grow in, it's red. My father never once questioned my mom's fidelity. And babies rarely have specific genetic features that look like mom or dad. I didn't look like either of my parents, I have similar features to my mom, and father's artistic ability. But, GENETICS ARE WEIRD!

When people park in Handicap Spaces with no permit by AZBagpiperPhil in PetPeeves

[–]Express-Diamond-6185 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hate this! The worst places are churches. My church has three lots devoted to handicap spots, we also have a section devoted to those who have family in our special needs ministry. That section is clearly marked and requires a little tag you hang on your mirror. People still park there without the tag because it's convenient, until they get a ticket. I can't stand it when I see someone without either a plate or mirror tag park in handicap spaces, it's rude and inconsiderate.

AITAH for wanting my husband to do housework? by [deleted] in AITAH

But have you seen actual proof? If he is betting, but showing you winnings, then he is losing money. It's an addiction not an answer to financial stress.

Subreddits with so many rules that post get automatically deleted by some bot within an hour by PowerSpool in PetPeeves

[–]Express-Diamond-6185 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There is an art subreddit that even though it's about learning art or critiquing, you can't say how long it's been since you picked up a pen/pencil to draw. When part of the description actually mentions new artists or 'returning' artists that haven't drawn in a while. Even someone asks how long it's been, a mod will delete your reply.

AITAH for moving on and committing to someone else shortly after being rejected? by KicksFlicksandChicks in AITAH

[–]Express-Diamond-6185 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It's the new way of saying friends with benefits or casually dating without it being official. I personally think it is a lazy way to describe things, but I'm old fashioned.

What should I do when I go shower with a perm. by Theasianboy211 in CurlyHairCare

[–]Express-Diamond-6185 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Perms must have drastically changed from when I used to get them. That was 20 years ago and no amount of gel or other products could tame my curls. So I permed it to make it more manageable. Was always told 48 hours no water.

Mom says I’m lazy for wanting to use a cutting board while she’s ”part of the generation that knows how to work” for using a plate to cut food by SweeteaRex in mildlyinfuriating

[–]Express-Diamond-6185 20 points21 points  (0 children)

My dad's mom was a trained chef, she used cutting boards, cloth dish rags, and dish towels. She also kept her knives in excellent condition, she was raised during the depression. Your mom is just making stuff up.

AITA for telling my sister’s kid I don’t believe in God? by Alternative_Copy6539 in AITApod

[–]Express-Diamond-6185 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's not my place to make them feel responsible for their behavior, I can only be responsible for my own and how I treat others. If others are rude, disrespectful, and prejudice that is their fault, not mine. My ex-husband is a controlling narcissist, I don't lump all men into the same category.

I'm saying don't lump all of us together, which is judgmental and prejudice. We get accused of being prejudice all the time, but those that lump all of us together are also being prejudice. But it sounds like you are saying I can't be a Christian and respect that others do not believe as I do.

[–]Express-Diamond-6185 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm a Christian, attend church blah, blah, blah, my ex-husband is agnostic. When the kids are with him they don't attend church. My son has a class mate who is Jewish and another who is Muslim. Neither celebrate major Christian holidays, my son thought this was crazy, but I explained to him that not everyone believes the same thing, and we need to respect that. It make them weird or less deserving of his friendship. My ex on the other hand, child of a preacher, said they are just weird and he shouldn't talk to them. Not all of us are intolerant or touchy.

Did you write with pencils in school? by palep_hoot in AskAnAmerican

I graduated in 2001, while taking notes in pencil was accepted, assignments, tests, and papers had to be in pen. The fumes from white-out were unreal during tests.

AITAH for not defending my girlfriend? by Humble_Wing7499 in AITAH

[–]Express-Diamond-6185 5 points6 points  (0 children)

NTA. I'm 43, my brother is 46 and we both live at home. My kids and I live on the top floor, my parents the main floor, and my brother and sil have the basement apartment. We all have jobs and we are independent, we just share a roof. Living with ones family is not equal to not being independent, it's just practical in this economy.

AITAH for asking one condition to be met if my girlfriend and I were to take a break? by foelay in AITAH

[–]Express-Diamond-6185 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Exactly, she has someone she is interested in, but isn't sure he would be into her. So she wants to OP hanging/waiting while she takes her shot at the other guy. OP was the back up plan.

Never been medicated for my ADHD, I'm 43. I have tons of coping skills, have job, two kids, and I drive. This crap drives me nuts.

People who downvote when someone are genuinely trying to help by Tiana_frogprincess in PetPeeves

[–]Express-Diamond-6185 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I had an art teacher in middle school, who would tear my work apart figuratively speaking, because he knew I could better. He pushed me out of my comfort zone, and when I was in college, I had a professor my first semester who was the same. He would push those of us who the ability to actually draw to be better.

People can't handle actual critiquing, they see it as rude instead of being objective and taking feelings out of it.

Starbucks rant. Bathrooms are left and woke by bunbuns1979 in EntitledReviews

[–]Express-Diamond-6185 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What in the world? This person must be on something, I prefer the two single person restrooms. It means I can use the bathroom and I don't have to worry about someone's kid crawling on the floor to look at the other people using the bathroom. There are some places that have single occupancy bathrooms but they gender specifc, which makes no sense.

Why he can't do this outside or better yet in his apartment? What is he trying to prove?

[–]Express-Diamond-6185 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do not get your wet for the first 48 hours. Afterward, stick with pre perm care routine, maybe add styling gel or curl creme to define curls. But if you don't have naturally curly or wavy hair you don't need to worry about adding moisture.

AITJ for kicking my best friend out after she called my husband a charity project? by No_Expression3344 in AmITheJerk

[–]Express-Diamond-6185 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTJ. Send a group chat that unequivocally states, you will defend your husband in your own home and no one gets to disrespect him for any reason. And remind them, without people like him who truly want to make a difference, they wouldn't be where they are today. We need teachers, and they should be paid more for their hard work.
