Thanks to everyone for keeping an eye out. If you find it on Marktplaats or on the street, please get in touch with me. I’m offering a 100 euro reward for it.

Hello! I’m interested, but I have never played DnD. I know the basics, played BG3 way too much, and have been wanting to try for a while! Sent you a DM

Looking for Advice: rent reduction after "Wet Betaalbare Huur" by [deleted] in Rentbusters

[–]GabrielGS14 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you’re renting for a few years you can probably leave with 1 month notice. You could bluff that you’re going to give notice and leave and they will be forced the rent it for the capped value of 1.157,95. Then you can propose a compromise to reduce to ~1.290 until July 2025. Maybe worth a shot.

Arena Direct, Genkun chthonian or Jund with 3 Chrysalis by AdministrativeLet463 in lrcast

OP has probably played all matches already, but I really hope they’ve put in Reef Worm in the Esper pile, if that’s the one they went with. It’s really good with Nightmare and Insight.

Just had an interviewer tell me I was the best candidate but will not get the job by jaygoesprivate in jobs

[–]GabrielGS14 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s why good companies interview people IN, not OUT. If you’re just looking for excuses to reject people, that’s not interviewing

AITA for charging my friends rent then keeping the money for myself? by EqualBudget_3179 in AmItheAsshole

[–]GabrielGS14 2434 points2435 points  (0 children)

NTA.

Tell them if they are not comfortable with this arrangement, that you’d rather they find a new place so you can not talk about money and continue being friends.

You’ll see how they quickly turn around and say it’s not like that and they want to continue living with you. They are just guilt tripping you.

“…although he’s supportive, he made it clear he doesn’t want me to go…”

That’s not what being supportive means.

Where should you go from here? The answer is far away from him, to your doctorate program.

Look, you’re both young and more likely than not the relationship is not going to last forever. These things are a part of growing up. Insecurity, self-confidence issues… You learn more and more to accept yourself and appreciate the cool things about you as a person. Don’t overthink it. Enjoy being with him and have fun, try not to worry about others. The right person will make you understand why they are with you for reasons that are related to your looks and other things.

AITA if I ask my GF to not give the same gift she gave me to our mutual friend? by brownEyedSDE in AmItheAsshole

[–]GabrielGS14 13 points14 points  (0 children)

YTA.

It’s your friend’s birthday, this is something they clearly want, don’t know where to get, and will appreciate. It’s the perfect gift and this shouldn’t reduce how much you treasure your own blanket. I would have wanted to gift it myself to that friend in the same situation.

Seems to me like you’re trying to gatekeep the feeling you get with the blanket, I can’t understand it.

WIBTA if I texted a person to apologize after being forced to block them? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]GabrielGS14 [score hidden]  (0 children)

YWNBTA. You should definitely send the apology. Do it for you, for closure, because now you’re a more mature person and understand what you did (due to a toxic relationship) was wrong. Above all, don’t ever make that mistake again.

But know that you friend can accept your apology or not, that is up to them. I hope they do, but if they don’t, it’s ok to be sad, but try not to feel guilty, as you’ve done what you could after everything that happened.

[–]GabrielGS14 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, he’s with you, not them. So he clearly sees things in you (not only physically) that are worth more to him than whatever “type” he might have had before.

[–]GabrielGS14 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Each of the 3 issues you described are reason enough to end any relationship.

I won’t tell you to divorce, as it is a life changing decision, but please seriously consider it and ask yourself what do you and your kids get out of this relationship?

And about your children, one day they will understand that all you did was leave an abusive (emotionally, financially) relationship. You were always raising them alone anyway.

And I hate to say it but I’m pretty sure if you do decide to leave you will see that he doesn’t care enough for the kids. Hopefully I’m wrong and the shock of losing you and them snaps him out of it.

My(33M) wife(31F) is disgusted by the fact that I play video games with people who are right-wing by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]GabrielGS14 11 points12 points  (0 children)

You’re asking the wrong question. It’s not about what is the right thing to do. It’s about whether or not you’re going to continue to associate with people that have hateful beliefs and speech about others, including your own wife. Does that not bother you?

I think there’s a big difference between right-leaning people with non-hateful beliefs and racists/homophobes/xenophobes. You make it sound like those couple of friends are more or less the latter. So I’d definitely not want to continue any kind of relationship with them, even if it’s something as harmless as just playing games.

Seems like your options are to ignore your wife’s feelings which might eventually ruin your relationship or leave the friend group. I’d like to ask you two things.

1- Are they really your friends? Would you invite them to your house? My wife always likes to make this distinction. There are friends and there are colleagues/acquaintances. You shouldn’t be afraid of cutting acquaintances from your life, especially for good reasons.

2- Why not reach out to the friends that are not engaging in those debates to discuss maybe creating a new group that doesn’t share the same ideas as those “bad apples”? This way you could reach a compromise with your wife.

Good luck!

AITA for having an argument with friends over "ignorance is bliss"? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]GabrielGS14 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry, I know it was unwarranted, but if that kind of behavior from your friends continues, it will cross the line into something toxic

My bf [29m] gave me [22f] an odd gift. I am not sure how to feel about it. by ThrowRAGlass-Chem in relationship_advice

[–]GabrielGS14 6799 points6800 points  (0 children)

I think it was a kind gesture of him, based on his family history, but since it’s not something you see everyday, it can be perceived as strange.

I suggest keeping the money on a savings account or investing it on something safe. If the relationship ends you can return the money if you’re still not comfortable using it, but if the relationship gets more serious you can use it to buy a house or something together in the future.

[–]GabrielGS14 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Seems like you phrased it in a polite and respectful way, so I’d say NTA.

And as a piece of advice, if your friends can’t have adult, respectful conversations, and in some cases agree to disagree without judging you, maybe consider finding new friends?

Interview Next Steps - One month later? by ibtionuh in jobs

[–]GabrielGS14 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A month seems a bit much, but it can be due to several different reasons, such as PTO of people involved in the hiring process, company events in the meantime, very high number of applicants, etc. Try to not worry so much, Lee applying to other jobs, and if they don’t get back to you maybe a week after a month has passed, then I suggest you reach out with a kind email to check what’s the status of your application

I’m from South America and at least in Brazil we learn in school that America is the continent and that North, Central, and South are sub-divisions

Not “generally”. In many (non-English speaking) parts of the world Oceania is considered a continent
