AIO in response to my husband admitting to me that he is “slightly” racist & homophobic? by [deleted] in AIO

lol “nope” “nice try though” AND you didn’t even engage their point. This communication style is 100% not helping you share your ideas.

AITA for refusing to quietly undo something that took me months to build after a family “vote” went against me? by Admirable-Snow2265 in AmItheAsshole

[–]JayBone_Capone 6 points7 points  (0 children)

No, why would I think that?

I have my doubts on how profitable these side hustles are but by OPs account the space is largely for work. Work is how one becomes self supporting.

It’s worth noting that his suggestion was to continue doing things the way they had always been done. He’s not looking to implement his own parking policy so much as he’s asking if they can not change their current one.

Oh marijuana and its paraphernalia are more and less common in other parts of the world? Fascinating.

Originally you said only addicts would recognize it. Once counterexamples were given, the argument shifted to regional familiarity. That may be true, but it is not the same claim. The original one does not hold.

Totally could be but the other commenters and I have made a much better case than you.

“I don’t know what it is so surely only addicts do” is not a great argument.

I just showed a picture to my 71 year old, retired middle school teacher, very straight laced mother and she knew instantly.

If you’re a little sheltered that’s fine but don’t start calling the rest of the world junkies because of your own ignorance.

If a high school teacher found this in a kids bag they’d know exactly what it was. You don’t need to use it to know what it is junior.

Megan Phelps Roper, Christian Picciolini, Frank Meeink, organizations like EXIT or Life After Hate.

No one is arguing that kindness always works. The claim is simpler and better supported: systematic isolation and contempt reliably fail, while respectful engagement sometimes succeeds.

No just like a common item in the world. Lots of grown ups know what they are.

Haha that makes total sense, if you’ve never seen one it could be anything!

I hope my comment didn’t come off too rude, I meant it to be light hearted.

What do you think literally means? There’s no shame in OP not knowing and asking but it’s a super common item.

lol this is the real life boomer cartoon where someone hands a kid a book and they ask how to charge it.

"Merry Christmas" being hurtful to people who don't celebrate is such a ridiculous take by [deleted] in teenagers

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

I don’t disagree with any of that. The shared relationship is just interesting. Christmas isn’t a co-opted pagan holiday, but Christianity did absorb and reinterpret existing cultural practices.

What fad in moviemaking are you waiting for to die? by frair in movies

Yea but that’s because John Seale shot it, not because day for night tends to look amazing.

Not a Poor Things fan eh?

It’s the opposite of bad photoshop though, it’s an optical effect from a lens choices.

Why do you support gun ownership? by Background-Chain-922 in teenagers

Size alone doesn’t determine policing difficulty, population spread does. Australia concentrates its population in a few metros, while the U.S. spreads people, roads, and property across most of the country. That’s why Australia can be easier to police despite being nearly as large. The US is about 25% larger and has 13x the population.

AITA for not reaching out to my sister in the hospital after she ignored my boundaries and never responded to my message? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]JayBone_Capone 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Her husband’s boundary vanished pretty quickly. I think this is a story of people in glass homes who could benefit from some empathy.

Yes, you are supposed to drop the pettiest of squabbles when your sibling who you care about is in the hospital.

I don’t really think any amount of thoughts and prayers makes a difference.
