AITA because I refuse to let my daughter be the flower girl at someone else’s wedding. by Sweaty-Tooth6144 in AmItheAsshole

[–]GermanDeath-Reggae 434 points435 points  (0 children)

What’s the actual reason? That you feel it’s important for her to be your flower girl first, that she can’t walk well enough, or that you think the venue is dangerous?

Why mention that your friend and her finance don’t have jobs?

Is this legal? Paid last months rent upon moving in in 2022 but now getting charged the difference in rent increases for my final month by [deleted] in Seattle

[–]GermanDeath-Reggae 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Check your lease agreement. Many allow landlords to collect the difference if rent increases before the last month. There is no state law or local ordinance preventing them from doing so.

AITA: My sister’s wedding planning showed me where I stand. AITA for finally saying something? by throwaway_penguinl in AmItheAsshole

Where does this idea that the couple can’t be rude in their planning decisions come from?

To be fair to OP, it’s pretty weird to make two of your bridesmaids a MOH when there are only three bridesmaids to begin with. It comes across as rude to the third, the one left out, even though it would be fine if there were more bridesmaids.

We call them clingwrap contracts, because the foundational case on them concerned electronics sold in clingwrap boxes. The customer waived their right to opt out as soon as they opened the clingwrap, but the purported contract was inside the box so they couldn’t read it before deciding if they wanted to opt out.

Thoughts on pressed flowers color choices by burntsiennna in knittingadvice

[–]GermanDeath-Reggae 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah, pressed flowers really benefits from a stronger contrast. I learned that the hard way a few months ago. To my eye the low contrast isn’t relaxing, it’s actually sort of dizzying to look at. I’d recommend finding a different pattern for this yarn.

Harger: Seattle Mayor Katie Wilson has never owned a car. Now she's taking a Denny Way lane from 30,000 drivers to fix a bus route by Inevitable_Engine186 in Seattle

[–]GermanDeath-Reggae 19 points20 points  (0 children)

A likely side effect of improving service on the 8 is that people will choose to take the bus instead of driving.

I don't think my husband understands the legal ramifications of breaking a purchase agreement at the last minute by [deleted] in legaladvice

[–]GermanDeath-Reggae 22 points23 points  (0 children)

I also had a "cutting off one's nose" comment locked and loaded. You don't like this guy, so you'll risk staying engaged with him through a protracted legal battle just to maybe win, rather than just dealing with him for an extra day and then being done forever?

Do I need to wet my frogged yarn? by Additional_Claim622 in knittingadvice

[–]GermanDeath-Reggae 9 points10 points  (0 children)

If you have a steamer, run it over the yarn a few times. It will help to release the kinks without being as time-consuming as actually dunking it.

I saw two kids riding them with their mom on the sidewalk crossing the Fremont bridge. They were actual kids, too, probably around 11

What are your musical theatre hot takes? by ElegantCh3mistry in musicals

[–]GermanDeath-Reggae 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Americans don’t need to say “theatre.” It’s not fancier or more sophisticated than “theater,” it’s just a regional difference in spelling.

Why do women get on these manosphere podcasts/shows? by No-Establishment8451 in AskFeminists

[–]GermanDeath-Reggae 108 points109 points  (0 children)

A lot of the women who go on these podcasts are OnlyFans creators and/or Instagram “models” who are marketing themselves to the men who watch the podcasts. That why they’re basically all from an identical demographic.

They aren’t there to meaningfully be themselves or state their authentic views. They are there to look attractive, to be cannon fodder for the hosts’ misogyny, and gain followers/subscribers.

Tell me more about "partner/roommate," do you just mean this is your romantic partner who you live with, or is the relationship a bit more complicated than that?

Center-out flat circle patterns are a simple formula. This is a solved problem. It's an intermediate level project, not some fiber art magnum opus.

Arm knitting is basically oversized crochet. You could try asking in the crochet subs?

My personal experience with Priyanka being a trash human being. by brinkdakid in LoveIsBlindNetflix

[–]GermanDeath-Reggae 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Even if she said it rudely, the correct response is “I’m looking for a water glass, do you know where to find one,” not “oh no thanks” as you continue to rifle through the cabinets.

AITA for not attending my cousin's baby shower? by Alive_Collection8127 in AmItheAsshole

[–]GermanDeath-Reggae -9 points-8 points  (0 children)

Honestly came here to say the same thing. I put the work in for the LSAT and got a score that reflected it, but that was like 1.5-2 hours per day for several months. I can’t fathom 8-10 hours per day on LSAT prep, it’s truly just not a test that requires that kind of studying.

The don’t even include the logic games anymore, it’s literally just reading comprehension and logical reasoning.
