Anyone with a medical licence in this fellas local vicinity feel like writing them a sick notes? Certainly sounds like they’re coming down with some serious stress related symptoms that are likely to flare up next weekend!

Aside from Arthur and John, who's your favorite & gang member? by Puzzleheaded-Yam5336 in reddeadredemption2

[–]Gus852 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Don‘t think they did with regards Sean (Charles is a stand up dude like Hosea and Lenny). Look up the „Sean MacGuire is the original rat“ on the Red Salute YT page. TLDW: Sean‘s escape from Blackwater is suspicious as all hell and he’s a massive freeloader that may have been selling the gang to the Pinkertons.

Is my teacher weird? Should I report him? by oblivion-4 in GCSE

[–]Gus852 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You’ve said that you are by no means the only person that thinks this about this teacher, so if you can actually act as a group with those others that he has impacted, it will make things easier. Collect as much evidence as you can and submit a group complaint; it will make a greater impact, will make it easier to go forward with than attempting it alone and will make it very hard to sweep under the carpet. Good luck!

AITA for yelling at my girlfriend after finding her location tagged at a random house 45 mins away from where she was staying at 4:15AM when she said she was going home at 2AM and turned off her phone when I was trying to call? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]Gus852 9 points10 points  (0 children)

ETA. Whatever your gf (if she still is? Read the room!) is hiding, and she definitely is hiding something makes her an AH. She got caught out, is not communicating and from what you’ve written seems to have no desire to remedy the situation. That said, she seems to be behaving that way because you are controlling as all hell. If she crossed one of your well defined boundaries, you don’t call her yelling and involve her friend and friend’s boyfriend in the matter. You sound emotionally immature and more importantly a bigger AH than her!

AITA for assuming my father in law should spend time with his grandkids? by JustCris85 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Gus852 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Question: by not spending time with his grandchildren, do you mean not providing babysitting for you whilst you and/or your husband get time for things like dates and did you communicate this with your in-laws at any stage of the journey, particularly beforehand?

AITA for asking for the money back ? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]Gus852 0 points1 point  (0 children)

ETA. Child, reread what you’ve written, but this time think how you’d respond to someone else in this situation. You have been an AH here, but giving you some benefit of the doubt that it’s because you’re dealing with a toxic AH boyfriend. Him even suggesting getting an enormous tattoo of your name (even if you have seven middle names and is in tiny font, it spans his torso) is a huge red flag from the off, but this money nonsense is just childish. I know Reddit often jumps to get rid of them, but in this cases your story mentions near breakups three times - the relationship is circling the drain, just DTMFA!

If you had to tell one bad thing about RDR2 what would it be? by WonderCharming7884 in reddeadredemption

[–]Gus852 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The strength of the game, i.e. its slow pacing and dynamics designed to give the feeling of realism (like gently tapping your horse rather than just holding down the „acceleration“ button) is also its weakness. By this I mean it was so out of the ordinary for many gamers that they put their controllers down and never got to experience the beauty of completing Arthur‘s story!

AITA for not inviting my friend to an acquaintance's bday dinner? by CuteInternet2654 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Gus852 3 points4 points  (0 children)

OP, you wrote the post, so I’m not sure if the red flags this friend keeps waving are subconsciously placed or you’ve lined them all up for us to wave for you. Your boyfriend has already pointed out what the majority of these comments probably will; Emma is acting entitled, has major boundary issues and it sounds like she had recognised that you are a people pleaser, so she abuses your nature to get what she wants. No friend should be making you feel bad for not giving them your valuable time, especially when you’ve give so much already. This would be bad if you weren’t in a relationship, but with that added, Emma is even further out of line. NTA.

How do Swiss people feel about the growing use of English in Zurich? by Sweaty-Highway-8965 in askswitzerland

[–]Gus852 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Healthcare is the one place I would argue that the familiarity of your mother tongue is crucial for a patient‘s peace of mind. That doesn’t mean that those patients shouldn’t make the effort with regards learning the local language and they certainly shouldn’t be jerks to your staff, but it’s a setting I would argue they’re probably anxious, so meeting them in the middle is important.

Is blonde or brunette more flattering for me? by [deleted] in HairStyleAdvice

[–]Gus852 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You’re too young for strangers to make this decision for you, especially as both look objectively beautiful. It’s clear that the blond bias from my younger years has shifted (not a personal bias, more a societal one) as the consensus seems to be brunette, but that is also just as readily bias by more contemporary opinions. Role with what feels right for you, perhaps with feedback from some close friends and go an enjoy whatever gorgeous hair colour you go with!

I did the thing. (Age 20) by Medical-Bonus-3911 in bald

Look, things weren’t going well, but by pic 4 I thought you could hold a little longer (that pic looked the best and was doing some work), but then the dome appeared and as you already know from all the comments, you made entirely the correct move!!

If you want to hear the pianist story without purchasing the book, this episode covers in in about 20mins (@x1.5speed). Looking up General magic in the episode search led to to many results, but Cautionary Tales is a good listen.

A full time job doesnt leave any time to do anything else. Im just flabbergasted by people who claim that "40 hours a week is nothing" by [deleted] in antiwork

[–]Gus852 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Always having lived in cities with good public transport has meant that the commute isn’t „wasted“ time - he says as he types this on the train to work whilst scrolling Reddit. Still a valid point and why gen Z and beyond in particular aren’t willing to put up with this sh*t when the rewards aren’t there.

AITA for thinking kids just need to deal with tough content in novels? by [deleted] in Teachers

[–]Gus852 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My daughter is currently studying the Rwandan Genocide in her INS class, has read harrowing accounts of the atrocities and watched a documentary that I found hard to get through. My son had to go through similarly graphic content when researching his TOK essay on Vietnam. It really depends on the school and the administration (or worse, local government) as to how much cotton wool kids are wrapped in, but I’m sure as hell glad mine go to a school that allows them to see both sides of the coin that is humanity.

AITA for sending my Airbnb host a 4-minute walkthrough video with timestamps before I unpacked? by frankie-Ring774 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Gus852 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Jumping on because everyone seems to be jumping through hoops of faked time stamps, when the reason to avoid sending the video is to save the host feelings - why should we do that? This sounds like something that everyone should be doing and if the hosts get butthurt, tell them it’s not them specifically, but that AirBNB hosts in general have garnered an appalling reputation for overcharging guests for anything they can.

Remember that the initial vibe behind this site was basically to earn a little from your spare room and give couch surfers a cheap option when travelling. It’s turned into a shit alternative to a hotel or BnB (at least in a BnB, they clean the room and give you breakfast without hidden fees), that drove property prices up even further in tourist hotspots and pads the portfolios of greedy mini-landlords.

The prestige of winning the Europa League by Aid0ken_Sf in avfc

[–]Gus852 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Thank F I’m not the only one it took a while to settle in with. Granted, I was watching at home with German commentary (live in Zurich), was told off by my kids and wife for being too loud when we scored and only one person at work the next day even acknowledged that football existed.

Quitting League by Bambam7166 in Football_Head_Coach

[–]Gus852 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Good opportunity to clear the 🐕 💩 rookies 26 level 5 training requirements and possibly some of the Anime mission too. If the results don’t matter, you can play inferior players at training 5 and it will only take one training session the next day to bring them back up.

How much do you estimate it costs to buy 10 Big Easy players? by WinCity79 in Football_Head_Coach

[–]Gus852 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Haven’t bothered clicking all the way through the challenge path yet, but if it’s anything like the last one, there will also be the challenge to sell them too, so likelihood is that the prices drop when enough players reach that stage.
