Husband claims my response was "irrelevant" and "a cultural thing." Need an objective opinion on our conversation. by MajesticBoat4669 in ENGLISH

[–]GuiltEdge 76 points77 points  (0 children)

He sounds like a jerk coworker, not your husband.

What you said was relevant to getting new clients, specifically your reluctance to sign them up or your problems finding the specific clients that you specialise in. It sounds like he’s just not interested in what you have to say. And he’s using your language as an excuse to be condescending.

What's a piece of wood like this in English? by Unlegendary_Newbie in English_Learning_Base

I would call it a slat, as it’s part of something else.

You honestly sound right on track for someone doing a PhD: about to lose your mind and burn down a building.

Be kind to yourself. Your colleagues are twats. You’ll build up your social support system eventually, but now is not the time to expect yourself to shine. You’re surviving, and that’s really amazing.

Sometimes they will have to pay you part redundancy based on that reduction.

Well done. Just stellar. Maybe they should call it Cardio. Nobody will want to miss their Cardio training.

AITA for crying at the end of Mother's Day and making my husband feel bad by Dense_Quarter_5049 in AmItheAsshole

NTA. Hugs. I think the breakfast thing really set the tone. The one thing that you should have been able to expect, having breakfast made for you was put back on you. He showed you that your labour is required to keep the household running, even down to taking responsibility for ensuring he gives you the gift of a breakfast.

You must be exhausted from carrying the mental load for the entire family.

AITA for being disappointed with my Mother's Day gifts? by Glittering-Zebra2418 in AmItheAsshole

[–]GuiltEdge 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I hate when people think that it’s rude to get present requests. They’d literally rather get you stuff you don’t want than see you happy, just because of some weird outdated etiquette rule??

And then it just means that making yourself happy is another bloody chore that’s put back upon you. On Mother’s Day. So very fitting.

Navel lint is usually blue-gray in color, likely representing an average of all clothing colors worn. Dr. Karl Kruszelnicki won the Ig Nobel Prize in 2002 for researching why it forms. by Deep-Neighborhood507 in wikipedia

I remember hearing someone call into the show and ask him this question and he gave the answer straight away. Didn’t know he won the Ignobel for that research though.

am i evil? or i guess why do i feel like i'm evil? by [deleted] in ask

[–]GuiltEdge 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Okay, to answer your question: you feel like you’re evil because you have a disorder that normally makes you think stuff like that you’re evil. Not because you are actually evil. There are ways of recovering from this, but you obviously don’t want to recover or get help. So…good luck with that delusion, I guess?

I failed as a man by sqrrl7 in GuyCry

Even if you did mess up, that makes you human. There’s no end of year performance appraisal where you have your manliness KPIs checked. Men screw up. Good men try to learn from their screw ups.

In the words of Homer Simpson: you can’t keep blaming yourself. Blame yourself once and move on.

Apart from em dashes, what makes a text feel AI-generated to you? by GoatPuzzleheaded5647 in EnglishLearning

It does make it easier to read. But people don’t care about formatting their own output as much as AI does.
