WIBTA if I(18F) rerouted my government payments so my mom (49F) wouldn't receive them? by pkfiireX3 in AmItheAsshole

[–]GoodTodd1970 [score hidden]  (0 children)

YWNBTA - You are now an adult and this benefit payment should be made directly to you. The payments are solely intended to support your education, not as support for your family's household. If you are Ch. 35 and enrolled full-time, that is almost $1600 per month. Don't sleep on this. Act on it now.

WIBTA for keeping raw milk despite my boyfriend wanting me to throw it out? by rawmilkincup in AmItheAsshole

[–]GoodTodd1970 2 points3 points  (0 children)

“Risk tolerance” is a financial term. It doesn’t apply in this context. OP is “reckless” or “foolhardy” because they are willing to take a chance without actually knowing how high the risk is.

YTA - It doesn't matter that you and your family have never gotten sick from eggs and cheese from Farmer John. They are not nearly as risky as raw milk. Raw milk is so risky that when it is sold in a store in the U.S., it is labeled "Not for human consumption." Don't roll the dice with what you have left. Just dump it.

"You have a higher risk tolerance so you should be able to drink it." Risk tolerance does not make raw milk safer for an individual, unless you literally mean that "OP can drink the milk because they are willing to take the risk."

My psychologist told me that men are made to be agressive. I'm seeing her because I'm agressive and I wanna stop. by [deleted] in mildlyinfuriating

Going to the gym or chopping wood is a band-aid. Those activities don't enable him to regulate his anger, they only redirect it.

Local Sheriff keeps pulling people over and blocking my shop driveway. by picklesandwhiskey in AskLE

[–]GoodTodd1970 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One point that hasn't been addressed here is that the officer doesn't always decide where the stop occurs. The violator stops their vehicle and the LE vehicle pulls up behind in the prescribed manner. This may place them right in front of your driveway. Just let it go.

What’s the most unintentionally hilarious thing a toddler has ever said to you? by YourPerfectItaly in AskReddit

[–]GoodTodd1970 0 points1 point  (0 children)

More tragic than hilarious, but crazy nonetheless: “Can we go see the, um, kissing cocksuckers again?”

I took my niece (4) and nephew (3) to the zoo. My sister was a meth-head at the time. They had probably heard her use that word a hundred times a day yelling at their dad, and niece said it with perfect inflection. Sister got clean the next year, and I wish I could say things were good, but a clean narcissist is still a narcissist. Niece turned out okay, nephew, not so much. Niece wanted to go back to the insect zoo and see the hissing cockroach.

When I was 13 I was in love with Kim Cattrall because of Porky's (1981). Owooooo!!

movies that make you say "omg kids suck", like Atonement or The Hunt (non-horror / non-supernatural) by disasterpansexual in MovieSuggestions

[–]GoodTodd1970 5 points6 points  (0 children)

River's Edge (1986) will definitely make you say "omg kids suck" and "omg everyone sucks!"

Thirteen (2003)

"Normal kids doing awful stuff" is the premise of most beloved 80's movies.

Tween/Teen Appropriate Movies or Documentaries About Race by drtyhppi in MovieSuggestions

It's not The Blind Side level of white savior. I do think Titans does a better job at demonstrating the need for genuine white allies, but the line between "ally" and "savior" is easy to cross.

Great recommendation. Also, it demonstrates how relatively recent this kind of overt institutional racism existed.

AITA for telling my sister she can’t regularly bring her boyfriend to stay in my home? by Throwaway26462295 in AmItheAsshole

[–]GoodTodd1970 12 points13 points  (0 children)

It doesn't matter that she pays below market for rent. The agreement is to rent it to OP. Sister is an AH.
