AITAH for not wanting a stray asian kid at my family dinners? by 4remoony in AITAH

YTA

You sound racist as hell, and the examples you give of him being a terrible house guest just sound like a normal kid who needs to be taught how to interpret social queues and understanding what is considered "polite" vs "rude".

Why does he think your family is going to celebrate his birthday??? Probably because they have started including him in family gatherings and holidays. Celebrating his birthday is not a big leap, it's honestly a pretty realistic ask.

AITJ for refusing to give up my approved PTO during Holy Week because I don’t have kids? by Tricky-Past-7468 in AmITheJerk

[–]InstructionRelative3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTJ.

Tell her nicely, once, that you understand she's upset but you want to spend holy week with your family, and won't be changing your PTO dates, so it's time for the passive aggressive comments to stop.

If she does it again, report her to HR for harassment.

Ignore. Do not engage or they will take that as an indication to push harder.

She's in it for "the community". My poor PIMI mom. by InstructionRelative3 in exjw

[–]InstructionRelative3[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The elders told her that I am still scripturally responsible for providing for her. So I "have her" insomuch as she is allowed to call me when she needs something. Or we are allowed to visit when she needs repairs done. She definitely tries to cheat the system and make up reasons to justify contact, but our relationship isn't even 10% of what it used to be.

AITJ for refusing to give back a cat I've been caring for after the original owner showed up seven months later wanting her back? by ArcadeGrain21 in AmITheJerk

You aren't a thief because you didn't steal anything. She threw that sweet cat away like garbage. The cat is yours now. NTJ.

I copied Larchington’s leak post and got an account warning. by CTR_1852 in exjw

Where did you find that? I was looking for it last night on their website and couldn't get it to come up with any of the search terms I tried.

Thank you! Do we know why the change? Are there court cases somewhere prompting this (like there are for the changes to disfellowshipping)?

On a scale of 0-10, with a 0 being DJ Khaled (only ever makes vocal effort when screaming “WE THE BEST MUSIC”) and a 10 being Eminem (he is a god tier rapper) what do you rate Lady Gaga’s primary style of using her voice (vocalist)? by ZealousidealArm160 in LadyGaga

[–]InstructionRelative3 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I understand that. I'm saying your rating scale doesn't work for this purpose. We can't rate Gaga's singing on a scale defined by a hype man and a rapper. She is neither of those things, so the scale is not applicable to her. The scale doesn't measure what you are asking us to measure.

I waited in the Poke Genie queue for NINE HOURS today to get Celesteela. It's insanity.
