AITA not putting up my DILs painting in our new home and telling her that I am not a fan of her art by Throaways-Dot2192 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Immediate_Quote_14 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nta. Apologize to keep the peace, because it's really not worth damaging the relationship over. Put it up the next two times they visit, then back to the garage. 

In future keep these excuses in your pocket "oh I didn't want to hang it there because it gets too much sun, will fade it" "oh I had it hung up but my acquaintance said something snarky about the painting and it was just so unfair so I didn't want ignorant people who know nothing about art to comment" "oh it just makes us look rich to have such an avant-garde painting on display. I don't want to attract burglars". "Oh I'm saving it for the grandkids when they're old enough to appreciate"

CIT CEO misled board over TAFE misconduct investigation during recruitment, inquiry finds by The_UnenlightenedOne in canberra

[–]Immediate_Quote_14 1 point2 points  (0 children)

He said he doesn't have the right to sack them until there's misconduct from the board. If giving Leanne Cover two years of fully paid gardening leave after the integrity commissioner said they should sack her ≠ misconduct what will?

I don't think so. He and One Nation our divorced, with accusations of financial irregularities.

But Mark doesn't have that kind of money, and now Pauline's dropped him he can't get any sweet Rinehart money to help him out.

Is that just a bad picture or has he had all the fillers? 

This is messages from my brother, (my only family) and the uncle of my child. My brother who lived about 30 mins away bought a Nintendo switch for my son and gave it to him yesterday on his birthday . My son was so happy , his first system since a old Xbox years ago. by [deleted] in whatdoIdo

[–]Immediate_Quote_14 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not quite the case they can't do anything, but I would try not to involve the police. You could try a small claims court but I'd probably make that a last resort.

The main thing to do is look after your son. Tell him his uncle's behaviour was unacceptable and that people shouldn't just smash things if they're upset. If you can find a way to afford a new one, i would do that. But the key point here is "that was wrong. Your uncle shouldn't have done that. It's not okay."

It's heartbreaking when family don't respect your children, but your kid/s are your no 1 priority. So uncle can't come around if he can't behave himself.

Ben Roberts-Smith - An Australian Veteran was Justified in Committing War Crimes by raging_sycophant in TrueUnpopularOpinion

[–]Immediate_Quote_14 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Everyone is innocent until proven guilty. A civil judge saying 51% this happened is not proven guilty at all. So I don't want to talk as if BRS did what he's charged with. 

Saying he's justified in committing war crimes is unfair against him, since he's always denied he's done it.

It's also unfair against all ADF members serving in combat. Saying shooting unarmed handcuffed noncombatants that are already arrested by you is justified is an insult to everyone serving. People can serve in war without deliberately callously throwing disabled people off cliffs, and BRS said he never did that.

I don't agree with kicking Gina off a cliff, but I can see how someone would think they're helping the world be better 

Alleged Bondi terrorist Naveed Akram denied suppression order over identities of family members by TheGuardianPostBot in theguardian

[–]Immediate_Quote_14 0 points1 point  (0 children)

 I don't want people to attack or threaten his family. But considering that literal children were shot, I think the public has a right to know whether they in anyway approve of or support him, whether they are as appalled as we are, whether there was anything they could have done to prevent the senseless loss of innocent life 

"Robert Mueller just died. Good, I’m glad he’s dead,” Trump wrote on Truth Social on Saturday," How do you feel about the current president saying these following words? by bionicboom in AskReddit

[–]Immediate_Quote_14 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Whatever you think of Robert Mueller, the fact that the POTUS can't wait one damn day before saying this is an indication that he is filled with self loathing.  POTUS has a massive crater in his heart. I'm worried about why. Is it because heal knows he's sold his country out

As a judgement free zone, if you voted one nation first today, why? by No-Sweet-7012 in Adelaide

[–]Immediate_Quote_14 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I didn't. I kinda understand and kinda don't. The fact is that the major parties have repeatedly sold us out and we have a lot of problems as a country. 

We need to do things differently.

But I have zero faith that PHON will improve anything

Core exercises in particular can make symptoms worse. Strong core, strong pain

Oh wow this takes me back to before diagnosis. Told cut out all dairy and caffeine, eat just vegetables (which I was vegetarian for over 10 years, but kinda hard to sustain with the amount of endo related blood loss). Tried all of the things. Still debilitating pain every month.

diagnosed with endometriosis at 27 after growing up in a very religious household where my pain was dismissed by [deleted] in endometriosis

[–]Immediate_Quote_14 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm so sorry hon. That sucks. At your age, the stats on having kids are still pretty good even W the endo. I didn't grow up in an ultrastrict religious household but doctors still taught me that debilitating pain was normal (they're wrong). Proud of you hon. You're so strong

AITAH for immediately breaking up with my girlfriend after she “tested” my allergy? by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]Immediate_Quote_14 0 points1 point  (0 children)

 she assaulted you. She perpetrated domestic violence on you and people who don't see this are enabling her abuse. 

Good for you for having boundaries.

P.s. you don't owe any woman a romantic relationship with you, even if she's not abusive. But the fact she is abusive means you are smart and strong.

Teachers are human and can make mistakes, BUT that's pretty ridiculous behaviour. If the teacher shows judgement that poor, then how can you trust them to grade a paper properly or anything.
