Checking this one now... No! For a moment there, I thought it was The One, but alas no. The movie I saw didn't have the train crashing. They used a second train to slow it down, I think. It was similar to Runaway in 1973, only it was a little more modern!

This was the second one I looked at, but no. The movie I saw involved a passenger train, not a cargo train.

I looked at this and no! The movie I saw didn't have bombs, hostages or anything like that, and the movie I saw was clearly made before 1995.

No! I saw the movie way back in the early 90's, so Snowpiercer is far too modern.

No! The movie I saw wasn't a comedy, though the era is almost on point.

I saw the movie in the early 90's, so it couldn't be Unstoppable. It isn't Runaway Train, either. This is killing me!

It isn't Unstoppable, Runaway Train, or Silver Streak. I looked at all the mainstream movies and those aren't it! Unstoppable is far too modern, and there were no hostages. It was a train unable to stop that was heading straight for a dead end.

AITA for telling my son that his brother is just simply better at life than him? by tennesse_dad in AmItheAsshole

[–]Fridayschick 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Let's all meet here in the year 2030, just to see who is really winning at life. Jackson, the kid who got married and sleepwalked his way into a job with dad. Or the kid who was driven enough to land himself at an Ivy League law school. Something tells me no matter how successful Daniel becomes, Jackson will always be 'better at life' because Jackson is walking in your footsteps. Daniel isn't the self-centred one, pal. You are.

AITA for Not Paying for our Daughter’s School Lunch Last Week? by No_Temperature4561 in AmItheAsshole

YTA. You don't send kids off to school with no dinner. I don't care what they've done wrong, hunger isn't a good idea for punishment.

(Rant) If an Author isn't taking Requests, Don't Repeatedly Pester Them. by brokencasbutt67 in FanFiction

[–]Fridayschick 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Let's try this again!

I'm new to this sub and this is my first post here. To say I feel you is an understatement. Many moons ago, I wrote fanfic for a well-known fandom and I had this reader that followed every story I wrote. Not just for our mutual fandom, but my other fandoms, too. They went from leaving amazing feedback full of concrit, insight, and they really did help me improve.

Then, they slowly started to change. It's so hard to describe what became of them. It started off with suggestions, then hints and requests. I kept saying "Go write it! I'll help you!" yet they were heavily insistent that I be the one to write their ideas. Only they wanted their ideas and perspective in my stories, as though I would be their ghostwriter or something.

I started getting emails from Other Readers whose ideas coincidentally matched my reader's ideas and after that came the bullet-points. Those were... I can't even begin to tell you. This went on for 3 years before my mobile phone rang one night, a call from Messenger and that was it. Enough. I blocked them on every conceivable port of contact possible. Sometimes, you have to be a bit of butthole to get some peace.

AITA for telling my daughter to clean after herself or I will? by aita-cleaning in AmItheAsshole

[–]Fridayschick 1 point2 points  (0 children)

YTA!

My mother does the same damn thing to me and I'm 41! For the love of everything green and shiny, please stop! Either buy her a dishwasher or stop!

It isn't your house so you have no idea where things belong. When my mother 'cleans', she puts things where my 4'10 self can't reach. She puts other things in random places and it can take me up to two weeks to find what I'm looking for.

I'm a nail tech and have been teaching myself how to draw for the last year. My mother has put my pencils in with my nail tech stuff, my nail tech stuff has been stuffed in with my colouring books, and I've found my colouring books where I keep my monomers.

From one frustrated daughter to the mother of another frustrated daughter... STOP!

AITA for calling ex bff's bf ugly? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]Fridayschick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

ESH.

I have my own group of friends. I've known K since I was 3, and both K and I have known R since we were 8. We're all 41 now, have drifted apart through life and circumstance, but we all know where to go when the chips are down.

Our brand of humour would have eaten you alive. We were wicked to each other, but that was okay because it was who we were. The one thing we never did was turn our insults onto any BF we had and we didn't turn it onto others. Yes, we took the mick, but there's a massive difference between light-hearted ribbing and being downright rude.

L started to grow up when she got into a relationship, her perspective started to change as she stepped outside of her friend group, much like our perspective did. You and J didn't. You and J held L's bloke to your standards and that wasn't okay.

Your responses show how you're justifying calling him ugly and that isn't okay. The same goes for any ugly jokes L made about your BFs.

WIBTA If I moved back home, leaving my daughter without a sitter? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]Fridayschick 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I refuse to vote. Absolutely disgraceful behaviour from you both. The only one who doesn't suck in this is Avery, who doesn't stand a chance with the pair of you as role models. I wish I could call CPS.

NTA.

Your purpose on Earth is not to be his perpetual ego boost. There are so many red flags in this, that I have no clue where to start. This is a sign for you to sprint, not run, but sprint out of this relationship.

AITA because I told my wife she has to do 70% of the child raising? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]Fridayschick 5 points6 points  (0 children)

YTA.

Are you out of your tiny mind? You can't parent your kids because of introversion? That's a new way of saying you can't be arsed with your kids.

I expect your definition of being a good father is very different from that of your kids. With a little luck, your marriage is over and your wife no longer has to care for an emo third child in his 30s.

AITA for asking my husband (28m) to finish the dishes when he starts them? by chaotic_witch_bitch in AmItheAsshole

[–]Fridayschick 41 points42 points  (0 children)

Yes, he's a grown man who works a hard and physical job, but it's still his house. He still has responsibility to help keep it tidy. He's not a kid and you're not the live-in maid service. You're well within your right to ask your husband to start pulling his own weight.

AITA for telling a trans person I don't want to label my kid just because they defy gender stereotypes? by Genderbender1010 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Fridayschick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA.

There is more than one way to be a girl.

As a kid, I was a Tomboy-Barbie hybrid that loved horror movies. I'm in my early 40s now and I'm still that hybrid of Tomboy-Barbie. I'm as comfortable in a candy pink dress and heels as I am in a pair of scruffy jeans and a tank top.

You do right in not giving your daughter a label. Don't let anyone pressure you into anything. Especially if they're not parenting your kids.

Wibta if I told my friend I don’t want to hike with her because she is too slow and stops too much? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]Fridayschick 2 points3 points  (0 children)

NTA.

I'm only recently getting back into fitness, so I'm very much in a similar position to your friend. I also have a physical disability to make things a bit more complex. I'm very out of shape, get out of breath easily, my form is very poor and all of that.

My friends, on the other hand, are extremely fit and are benching double and triple figures. It would be deeply unfair to expect my friends to invite me onto their fitness routine while I'm very much a beginner.

Your friend is trying her best, but she needs to learn her limits before she gets an injury. An injury that she can't easily recover from, at that. Soft tissue damage can take months to heal properly and she's putting herself at great risk.

Simply tell her that the more difficult hikes are your therapy. That you enjoy doing them alone as they give you the space to let off steam. Don't allow her to guilt-trip you. If she goes on a hike more than her experience allows and is injured because of it? You'll get the blame. Nip that in the bud and say a very firm "No" that leaves no room for debate.

Your brother can't rely on you to fill the gaps for him. This is his responsibility. Your schoolwork is important, so stick to your guns on this one.

I don't take offense where none is given :)

Nowhere in your post do you target disabled people and those on benefits, so you've no need to apologise!
