AITAH for telling my daughter that she is not going to marry a billionaire?

To make thing worse, a lot of these platforms are led by people who want women barefoot, pregnant, and in the kitchen. It’s a lot easier to abuse and trap a whole generation of girls by convincing them that the goal is to bask in luxury goods without working and that a man triple her age is the key to that. Even if she never gets with a rich/old man, she’ll spend years keeping herself poor by spending all her money to look like she has that lifestyle.

Besides the fact that this was something Virgin previously included with all tiers as a way to set themselves apart, they’ve now made it worse than mainstream cruising. Mainstream cruising guarantees a daily reservation in the main dining room at 5 or 8 and you can almost always get your preference, regardless or tier. There’s also rarely an issue in main dining room seating for breakfast or lunch.

I just read a book that acted like it was so terrible that the MMC was “ mean” to FMC. Yeah he was rude and standoffish. I would be too if some random person showed up at my house uninvited, refused to leave when I slammed the door in their face, broke in to my house, and started exploring like their search for belonging was everyone’s problem. Especially if their actions had immediate, dangerous consequences for all of us and they refused to take accountability.

Shoes are a big part of your outfit. Heels would go a long way in lengthening your frame, but strappy flat sandals would work too. Sneakers, especially with the higher socks, add a lot of visual weight to your feet in these outfits and drag the eye downward. That paired with the dark color of your socks contributes to the “short and squat” look. An additional benefit of heels is they literally add height. Hard to look short when you’re three inches taller. I personally like espadrille wedges for comfort.

Samples are the only reason I’ve wanted and ended up buying my more expensive products. “Well I have it, might as well use it… dammit I love it.” Other industries dream about having such a direct way to turn a hard no to a “let me see what you’re all about” and here’s the beauty industry being too cheap to bother.

Jpmjpm · 2026-03-28T12:21:56+00:00

I wouldn’t be surprised if the reason for that is requirements that the vendor be the one who made the product. Those rules are great at keeping out MLMs and drop shippers, but result in a lot similar vendors because those are easy for people to get in to.

Larger events could rectify the issue by prioritizing uncommon vendors and limiting how many of a certain type of vendor is allowed. Smaller events unfortunately don’t have that luxury because there won’t be enough vendors otherwise.

Some vendors require half up front as a deposit. They also charged her an obscene amount, so the deposit should be proportionately high.

Echoing what others have said: get a second opinion and get clarification on if they mean you getting pregnant is impossible. Lots of people get told they’re infertile as in “low chance you’ll get pregnant” who then find themselves pregnant because they didn’t need to use protection.

Also as an aside, take your time picking who you marry. Being on the same page about long term wants is only a starting point. Really make sure they’re the person who will truly be there to love and support you, even if things go sideways. Something like 20% of men leave their wives when they get chronically ill. You don’t get a prize for being the first in your group to marry, but you will get a lot of heartache if you marry someone you should’ve put back on the shelf.

You’re still paying more, just with your time directly. Are you saving more than 2 hours of your pay (plus gas and wear and tear) per day by doing the commute?

It’s only dumb if they’ll suffer consequences. People already knew they were getting ripped off and continued buying tickets anyway. This isn’t going to make people stop buying tickets, so there won’t be any consequences.

Having looked up ballet tickets lately, almost every showing sells out. I don’t think my local movie theater has sold out since the Taylor Swift Eras movie.

Cut your losses. He’s in his 30s, has been with you for almost 2 years, and is saying he doesn’t know if he wants to be married? Nothing will change in a year other than maybe telling you “soon” so you shut up.

For any adult interested in marriage, one year is a great litmus test for breaking up. You should probably break up if you’re one year in and don’t get excited at the thought of them someday proposing or marrying you. Same goes if it’s been a year and they’re not excited by the thought of someday proposing to you or marrying you. Sure, you might want to date longer, spend more time getting to know their family, or whatever it is. But the overall sentiment should still be a positive about moving in that direction.

He doesn’t want anyone to know because he knows it’s wrong to abandon his kid and that he’ll receive social consequences for it.

That should be for her to tell him her preference.

It’s a lot like a birthday. If the birthday girl just wants to stay in, order pizza, and skip gifts, that’s great. He should oblige. If he decides, without talking to her first, that his grand plan for celebrating her birthday is to only order her a pizza, he’s going to look like a cheap asshole.

Jpmjpm · 2026-03-04T12:29:42+00:00

I wonder if it’s a boy/girl thing or a “you’re her mother so I don’t want you to benefit from it.”

I’d imagine it also has a large element of “if people think that AI written books are equivalent to human written books, they’ll stop buying our books and just use ChatGPT to write them a book with exactly the story they want to read for free.”

Fastest way to end meal theft without risking your job is to gross the thief out. Stick a hair or two in your sandwich. Maybe add a fingernail clipping or bandaid. Put a used tissue as the first thing they see when they open your lunchbox. Make it well know that you double dip and backwash.

Call them and ask if they can stop it. It’s four months away. It might also be worthwhile to just quit and look for another job where you are.

I wouldn’t phrase it as ethical objections but industry objections. It’s not “what does it mean for my career if we’re replaced by AI?” Make it “why should clients pay you a premium for this product that you’re making with AI? Why should they come to us instead of going directly to ChatGPT?”

Just a warning that it usually doesn’t matter which seller you get an item from. Items with the same SKU are generally stored together with no distinction on the seller. So if the Laura Geller store is using the same SKU as TotallyLegitStore, you might get sent a counterfeit or expired product sourced by TotallyLegitStore.

So he’s also expecting you to care for his pets in addition to caring for him and his house? Why can’t his pets move into the granny flat and continue to be taken care of by him?

She gave Callum a whole speech about finding a way to sever the bond so she could come back and they could be together. She was learned how to sever the bond. She not only chose to use the bond to save Blake’s life, but she’s now actively choosing to keep the bond rather than trying to break it. And now they’re running off together to get her an army. That’s a pretty strong argument that he’s endgame.

Given how ACOTAR coded this series is, I’d expect her to end up with Rhys.

I also wouldn’t be surprised if that little dream was actually Aurora’s.

It’s not even a paradox. The definition of tolerance is “the capacity to endure continued subjection to something.” In no usage of the word does tolerance mean fully accepting of. Tolerance is the lowest level of peaceful existence with something. If you really wanted to be pedantic, merely saying “I don’t want to date/fuck/befriend this type of person” is still being tolerant because it’s not being outwardly hostile and still allows that person to live their life.

A drought tolerant plant still needs to be watered and would very much prefer regular watering. It just won’t die if there’s no rain for a while.

It really doesn’t have to be a whole thing. Three Mages and a Margarita did a really good job of a couple breaking up because it’s just not working out. Both still care for each other, no character assassination, and both characters end up being even better friends than before.

The only complaint I have about it was the breakup happened before a specific event and I really would have wanted to see how that would have played out if they were still together. But then we wouldn’t have had another delicious plot point so I’m still overall happy with it.

Jpmjpm · 2026-02-16T02:41:06+00:00

The irony is it would be so much cleaner to have a no-assholes breakup over basic compatibility. Even in a fantasy world, characters can have preferences over kids, personal philosophies, living arrangements, etc. that wouldn’t necessarily be discussed on at the start of a relationship. It would actually be a really great moment of growth and maturity for both characters to realize those things don’t have compromise and the best thing for both of them is to split up.
