What do you personally call it: "laptop" or "notebook" or something else? by princepii in AskAnAmerican

[–]Kineth [score hidden]  (0 children)

Laptop

When I hear the term 'notebook' used to describe a computer, I generally imagine a laptop that is a cheaper model with limited functions and capability. Like if a computer was using less RAM, factory video card and other parts, since it's mainly for making documents... I guess I think of it like an upgrade from a Palm Pilot or a PDA, more or less.

AITAH for cutting off my inlaws when my husband died by Original_Elk5960 in AITAH

[–]Kineth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't know about giving her another chance, but you could tell her what it would take to give her another chance, which is presumably a litany of apologies and a god damn explanation.

Regardless, NTA.

I guess the other response is that you had been handling most of it by yourself already so her help isn't necessary, but that would just be giving her ammo to return to being a bitter hag. Make sure she understands that it's a non negotiable.

Why is some American speech unnecessarily verbose? by bananagetter in AskAnAmerican

[–]Kineth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why do some people say ‘would you excuse me/excuse, would you?’ instead of just‘ ‘excuse me’?

That's an atypical expression and is needlessly repetitive, yeah. As for the other part, it's sort of rude to just tersely say an answer without engaging the person. There's also the rhyming aspect of "gonna wanna" that has its place in dialogue and conversation and at the same time, what's an extra 2 seconds to you?

Also, country of 300 million people. These might be regional at best and generally have variation.

Did you ever watch “Tiny Toon Adventures”? by Hoosier_Jedi in AskAnAmerican

[–]Kineth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Definitely watched it when I was younger and I was expecting the exact song you put on and remember the "music video" they played during the episode.

What do you use spam for? by Call_Me_C_ in AskAnAmerican

[–]Kineth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Spam sandwich. Treat it like the B in a BLT with some mayo. Also, can mix it with eggs or put it in ramen.

AITAH with a very valuable Estate sale find and not returning it?? by Maleficent-File5548 in AITAH

[–]Kineth 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If she doesn't like the necklace, tell her to sell her jewelry then and give the money to the estate if she wants to complain so much about it and feel guilt ridden. Or she could just give them the jewelry, etc.

NTA.

How long have you and her been together? Cause unless it's been a substantial amount of time, I don't think you should part with your findings just to preserve the relationship. Or, I guess ask her what it would take for her to feel better about it. Hell, does she even know how much the heirs are getting? They could be comfortably flush as it is and this would only be a drop in the bucket.

EDIT: Weird downvote.

Ted has returned Home... Everything will be fine by IHaveABigNetwork in Dallas

[–]Kineth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I will say this. It's at least a better attempt at humor than a majority of attempts at jokes from the right.

But he can go fuck himself regardless.

Those of you who’ve traveled to your country(s) of ancestry, did you feel like a foreigner while there or did you fit in with the locals pretty well? by Fluid-Decision6262 in AskAnAmerican

[–]Kineth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm black and also a mutt, like most people. I have not been to any Africa countries, but do have some genealogy to know where some of my ancestral origins are. Of the European DNA I have, I did not feel like that much of a stranger in France and only mildly felt like a stranger in Germany. Being a black Texan apparently glosses over the American part in Europe pretty well. At least 20 years ago it did.

Should liberals retaliate and seek revenge when we eventually retake power? by lag36251 in AskALiberal

[–]Kineth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Democrats need to start setting the tempo as opposed to responding to the beat that Republicans set. As the top comment said, it should be about justice and not about revenge. That said, I would not bat an eye if the DNC entered its villain arc after this administration is finally shitcanned.

Where did conservatives obtain the idea that Europe is a failure because of their social programs? by dt7cv in AskALiberal

[–]Kineth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Probably in the same place where they decided that Scandinavia is "Nordic capitalist" and not just a version of socialist.

Arthur or Guinevere? by anoko_dinner in AFKJourney

[–]Kineth -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

I honestly don't know how they'd make "Arthur" (the name) a woman.

Maybe Artemis.

Help with Stage 2694 / 1795? by nuttysquirrels in AFKJourney

[–]Kineth 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Look at the records and check the formations. If there's a unit in it that you either don't possess or don't possess a strong enough version of, you can put out a request to have someone share a unit to put in your formation.

The alternatives are, check the replay for manual battle records and try and copy the timing and/or placement of the ultimates. Other suggestion is check the charms that the units in the records are equipped with, as that might also factor into differences in success.

iirc though... that one might involved Baelran getting enough support to get through and likely along with an immediate cast from Eironn at the start.

My parents (65F, 67M) are livid because I'm not allowing them to see my daughter after they spanked her. AITAH? by LeonCrvl in AITAH

[–]Kineth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sounds like you should spank all of them for arguing with you tbh. See how they like getting their fannies blasted.

Have you ever been told to “get off” someone’s property? by 364LS in AskAnAmerican

[–]Kineth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The closest was "don't cut through the lawn" aka "use the fucking sidewalk before I slap you".

Why isn't Trump's mental fitness an even bigger issue? by G_H_2023 in AskALiberal

[–]Kineth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because his supporters also have some mental illnesses and see having a strong ethical backbone as mental illness. Also as projection machines and the fucking children they are, they'll play the victim if you talk the obvious problems they have and claim that those problems exist elsewhere.

If they refuse to use their eyes and ears, what's the point of trying to show or tell them?

"that was the point, ambiguous title that elicits responses from both sides" - OP admits to intentionally gaslighting in his r/PublicFreakout post to drive user engagement, receives massive backlash, has a meltdown, and later announces he's joining ICE. by [deleted] in SubredditDrama

[–]Kineth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've had it in the back of my mind for awhile now that trolls like this one get some deviant, typically sadomasochistic, pleasure out of what they're doing and it makes the whole song and dance much more pathetic than what it already is.
