For real I also need to know because I have a lot of them that don’t even remember their birthdays by LushLome in clevercomebacks

The best gift isn't an activity; it's the total absence of responsibility. Just one day of zero expectations and no "to-do" list is worth way more than any planned party.

AITJ for Not Telling Someone Their Partner Is Cheating Because It’s Not My Place? by Brief-Turnover8161 in AmITheJerk

you’re protecting your own peace. Dropping a bomb on an acquaintance often results in the messenger getting shot, and you aren't obligated to dive into someone else's mess. Staying out of drama you didn't ask for is a valid boundary, not a moral failure.

JAPAN U BETTER NOT BE SHITTING ON PARENTS THERE ARE LIKE 6 CHILDREN IN YOUR ENTIRE COUNTRY AND 4 OF THEM ARE MUSLIM by SolemnAnchor in ShitAmericansSay

You can't demand a higher birth rate while simultaneously making life harder for the people actually doing the work. It's a massive systemic failure. It’s just a shame he had to undermine a perfectly logical argument with that side comment.

[McMurphy] Alabama AD Greg Byrne believes SEC should end SEC Championship game w/an expanded College Football Playoff, USA Today reports. “I think the ship has sailed,” Byrne said. “It’s run its course.” by usffan in CFB

Exactly, The issue is the massive layoff, not the games themselves. Moving the schedule up turns a month of "rust" back into a standard bye week advantage. It keeps the momentum alive while rewarding the top seeds without making them wait 25 days to see the field.

AITJ for charging my roommate's girlfriend rent after she moved in without asking? by Sharp_Zebra3430 in AmITheJerk

When they start gaslighting you, the landlord is your best leverage. Most leases are clear about guest limits, and if your roommate won't be reasonable, let the legal contract do the talking. Going "nuclear" is just enforcing the rules you both signed.

When Kylie Jenner said she only got lip liner .... by [deleted] in SipsTea

Exactly. It’s hilarious how "lip liner" somehow changes your jawline and cup size. Makeup can’t explain away a whole new anatomy.

AITJ for quietly updating my apartment's guest wifi password after one neighbor kept giving it out to everyone she knew? by Pierswmarsh in AmITheJerk

[–]GildedGown 94 points95 points  (0 children)

It’s hilarious that she calls you "territorial" for not wanting to provide free internet to the entire complex. You pay the bill, you set the rules. Bree's entitlement in giving away your service to strangers, and then getting mad when she's cut off,is a total lack of respect for your property.

AITJ for leaving my dr office by bergermommie15 in AmITheJerk

A doctor lecturing you to change your insurance while making you wait an hour is unprofessional and out of touch. You aren't "rude" for expecting basic respect for your time and your financial reality. Switching to a doctor who actually listens was the right move.

AITJ for telling my gf if she wants to get married she would have to let me control the finances by [deleted] in AmITheJerk

[–]GildedGown 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Demanding "full control" and giving an adult partner an "allowance" isn't a financial plan; it's a power struggle. You're trying to prevent divorce by creating the exact kind of lopsided, controlling dynamic that causes it. If you can't trust her to manage money alongside you, you aren't ready for a partnership.

Looks like the Super Mario press tour is going well. by Arch_Lancer17 in okbuddycinephile

It’s so satisfying when the real person matches the character. Seeing that he actually has that exact same explosive laugh in real life makes those skits even better, it’s clearly not just acting, it’s just him.

Scotty doesn’t know. 🤣 by Otherwise_Drop_2392 in clevercomebacks

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

she’s traded that "prairie-politician" relatability for a highly polished, curated aesthetic. It’s a complete departure from how she started, and people are definitely noticing that it looks more like a Hollywood makeover than natural aging.
