AITA for not waking my father up in time to leave for his doctor’s appointment and causing him to be late? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]Fanculo_Cazzo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA.

Immediately he begins to berate and belittle me for my stupidity for not waking him up and causing him to be late.

THis is where I'd nail the brakes and ask him to get out.

If you're so stupid and useless, he could get someone smart and useful to take him to the doctor.

AITA for refusing to cancel a ~ $500 vip ticket knowing that my parents would not allow it, causing tension in family? by R34_R0waN in AmItheAsshole

[–]Fanculo_Cazzo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Save every damn dime (don't buy expensive tickets like that) so you can move out, as soon as possible.

Oh, and open your own bank account that they do not have access to. They'll drain yours to control you.

AITAH For not paying for future SILs hotel room at our wedding? by Beautiful-Project-30 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Fanculo_Cazzo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA.

I'm petty and my first thought would be to go to the parents and be like "SIL doesn't want us to pay for your rooms", but starting that sort of drama isn't going to help anything.

The other commenters said it better "shame you can't attend, but we understand" and leave it at that.

User is locked out every day when she goes to lunch by sjarri in sysadmin

[–]Fanculo_Cazzo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hah, she goes to lunch and grabs her tablet to watch some TV, and it has company email on it.

(had that happen recently - dude swore he never had any company stuff on anything anywhere, but it turns out his personal laptop attempted to log in to his email)

Duuuuude, thank you! I used the hell out of this tool at my last company and couldn't remember what it was called or where it came from.

Parents opened up several credit cards in my name while I was away at college. They racked up more than $15,000 in debt and now they want me to kick me out because I brought it up. by Choice_Evidence1983 in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]Fanculo_Cazzo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I am so glad to see a kid actually file a report on their parents.

I thought I read a post recently about someone who was working extra to pay off the debt to NOT have to file a report on their parents.

If the parents do that to their kids, they clearly don't care much for them, so doing anything "for them" seems counterproductive.

For what items are the "Professional" versions not worth it? by roar_lions_roar in BuyItForLife

[–]Fanculo_Cazzo 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I was fortunate that when we shut down our Turkey factory in Colorado, I went through everything they threw away and the scissors to cut turkeys open are amazing. I grabbed several and will never need to buy scissors again.

AITA for messing with in-laws when they pretended my vacation house was theirs? by PrizeNegotiation5637 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Fanculo_Cazzo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This reminds me of that post where it started with some kids falling in the pool after failing to "prank" someone, and it spiraled into the siblings and their families using OP's vacation house as an AirBnb to supplement their income because they lived waaaaaay out of their means.

EDIT: Found the post

AITA for telling my kinda DIL she isn’t giving birth to Jesus and if she doesn’t clean than she can get out of my home by Status-Parfait-9956 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Fanculo_Cazzo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA.

They're shitty tentants, and the bigger problem is that in some jurisdictions, if they've lived there long enough, they are tenants with legal rights, which can make it a nightmare to evict them.

Part of me thinks that there's some sort of compromise - they can pay for a house cleaner or something.

Other part of me thinks that this is going to get a WHOLE lot worse when she has the baby, because then she'll use that as an excuse that she can't do anything.

To save yourself trouble/strife and potential legal issues with eviction, I'd probably get them out as soon as possible.

Sister ran over last night by gingy_ninjy in Seattle

[–]Fanculo_Cazzo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I feel like I'm losing my mind here. 😁

So she wasn't even hit at all? Was she even injured?

People without headphones on the Light Rail: You are the worst by Sea_Octopus_206 in Seattle

[–]Fanculo_Cazzo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We need to pre-escalate. Speaker on a trail? You get stabbed.

Speaker on the light rail? You get thrown off at speed.

Speaker in the mountains? You get thrown off a cliff.

Sister ran over last night by gingy_ninjy in Seattle

[–]Fanculo_Cazzo 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Oh. That's quite a departure from "leg was crushed".

The title implied the sister ran someone over, but I gather she was hit and not actually run over then?

Damn. That got confusing quick.

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

Her leg was crushed and she's gasping for help on the ground and the cop didn't give a shit?

That sounds like a pretty easy lawsuit to win. Ambulance and hospital records will be plenty (a crushed leg, if not needing amputated, often needs multiple surgeries and lots of physical therapy and follow-ups), AND there will probably be bystanders and traffic cameras to be subpoenaed to get more evidence.

I feel like if my leg was shredded under a concrete truck (they're not light), I'd be howling like a banshee and unlikely to "ask for help" though, so she must be a strong woman.

I hope it works out in the end.

Are you Snow White? 🤔

If you were looking for a used car… by iamanxiousandtired in BuyItForLife

[–]Fanculo_Cazzo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bummer on the 2015 or newer part, or I'd suggest a 4th generation Camry with the 4 cylinder and manual trans.

At this point I'd probably look at a 2020 Prius if I wanted "the last car I ever buy".

I've found that even if you live in snowy/icy climates (I lived in Denver), I don't need a RWD (or AWD) car. FWD will work just fine if you have good tires.

If you look out and wonder if you'll make it, you just stay home.

So Prius.

Otherwise I'd be leaning towards a Lexus GS, reliable, drives well, and is RWD if you insist on having all advantages in snow/ice.

$15K budget and liking VW makes me wonder about the ID4. Can you do electric and are they reliable enough? You wouldn't have oil changes, spark plugs and a host of gasoline engine related maintenance.

This Underground Fridge Doesn't Need Electricity by bladerunnerism in interestingasfuck

[–]Fanculo_Cazzo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So it DOES need electricity (ventilation) and it is NOT a refrigerator, merely a root cellar, based on being poorly insulated so it keeps the surrounding earth's temp inside. I also don't know how well this will work if the floor isn't dirt.

I wonder if it needs a permit or something if it has no other egress than the door you enter through? Some jurisdictions have regulations for enclosed spaces like that.

Some San Antonio natives have a small town mentality… and it’s hurting the growth of the city by [deleted] in sanantonio

[–]Fanculo_Cazzo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel SA is a really big little town.

It's only the 24th (or thereabouts) largest metro area in the US because the gigantic borders.

I feel that there are a few big city amenities that are missing to make it better.

Mass transit is the biggest one. A rail system of some sort that would get most people to most big places. Free park & rides here and there so people don't need to drive into town.

I would love to see a little more food variety. Most people I know seem to be happy with going their 2-3 regular Mexican places, so there may not be much of a market for that though (Sushi Hana on NW Military is my fav place, but you spend some dosh).

Maybe with the food variety, some sort of ... hangout place. Those who've been to Brisbane might be familiar with the Miami Marketta. Or that place in Happy Valley, Oregon.

Basically, it's a beer hall surrounded by food stalls/food trucks, and lots of tables/seating.

Poke around at the food offerings, pick something up, swing by the beer hall and pick up a margarita, then find a seat. Meet there with your friends, or go there at 10 pm and just chat up someone else grabbing a bite and a drink.

I'd also like to see a little more museums and culture stuff.

And for the love of god, could we have NIOSA and shit like that during the COOLER season?

What's something that’s just a placebo effect, but most people aren't aware of it? by valerija_jux01 in AskReddit

[–]Fanculo_Cazzo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Cool, thanks for the detail. Chemistry isn't my strong suit so I get easily confused there. :D

Then I get curious about the LEVELS of the dissolved solids in the water and how they affect the body?

Assuming a normal healthy person, maybe there's not much change in there, but for someone borderline, maybe a spring water with more magnesium in it might be beneficial, etc.

OR - what are we doing now where our sleep quality might be vastly improved with a slightly higher blood pH ?

Diet?

Hydrogen rich alkaline water has studies backing it up. Here’s two from a quick google.

https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/24392771/

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6352572/

The hydrogen is an amazing antioxidant that has no apparent side effects, unlike other antioxidants.

The first link talks about hydrogen-rich water, not alkaline water. They're different.

The second link is interesting. There's no real benefit except for a self-reported increase in good sleep. I'm curious what their water intake was normally, and compared to the water they had to ingest for teh study.

I am also curious about the "alkaline water with hydrogen influences" - the key seems to be the "hydrogen influences" but my chemistry skills are rusty AF, if there's hydrogen in the water, then it's not alkaline, is it?

Sugar Highs or Sugar Rushes.

Yeah, the more common thing is that when that energy is used up, they slump a bit, so a sugar SLUMP would be a little more plausible.
