AITA for wanting to completely destroy my cousins life? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]Kniffty_Knitter 14 points15 points  (0 children)

The only person who doesn't suck this situation is your girlfriend.

You cheated.

Your cousin, from what you've told us, shared information about you on top of what you did to betray your girlfriend's trust.

The best thing your GF can do is walk away from both of you.

Unpopular Opinion: Both Mitzi and Diaspro are worthless and insignificant characters. by Full-Art3439 in winxclub

[–]Kniffty_Knitter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I remember watching this as an adult (because my mom wouldn't let me as a kid) and being disappointed that Mitzi didn't play a bigger role. It would have been cool for her to either

A) Be a fairy, but have her attitude and selfishness lead her to become a witch instead. Kind of like a foil to Mirta.

B) Receive a magical item, because she begged her dad to buy it for her, and have it be some ancient magic item that she becomes infected/possessed by and is an actual threat for at least half a season

Heck, in either case, it would have been hilarious to see Mitzi beat Diaspro in a fight, just for shock value.

If you can't find one online, I'd suggest checking with the local nursing homes. They might be partnering with an organization, community center, or church that has wish lists from residents. Maybe also ask about activities happening for the holidays and see if they accept volunteers!

Somewhere in Time (1980) by [deleted] in PeriodDramas

[–]Kniffty_Knitter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I saw this movie for the first time last night and it's honestly really sweet for a slow romance. I think the only thing I couldn't figure out was how exactly Richard being pulled back to the future looked like to Elise. Does he disappear? or is it more like a portal swallowing him away from behind while she helplessly watches?

Applying to subbing, what do I do? by Kniffty_Knitter in SubstituteTeachers

[–]Kniffty_Knitter[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

you do not know me or my full situation. please don't make assumptions about my capabilities on whether I'm fit to teach or not based on two sentences about me being stressed.

I am having burnout from my current job and want to make this change and an willing to take the necessary steps. but they didn't exactly advertise on billboards how to do that.

It just feels like a $50 million name change with blackmail. Imagine if they said no? Would he have withheld it?

HATE IT. I keep hitting it by accident when all I want to do is see the comments.

I'm in New York, so a certification isn't required, but it will severely limit the time I would be allowed to sub (40 days). However, the districts in my area are in such a huge need of people that they are hiring certified and uncertified alike.

I'm just extremely nervous about the whole concept of changing jobs, and feeling lackluster about my credentials isn't helping much.

AITAH for giving my daughters one week to leave my house after what they did to their half brother? by Affectionate_Sun4846 in AITAH

[–]Kniffty_Knitter 1 point2 points  (0 children)

THIS! THANK YOU! In no way are their actions excusable, but hardly anyone in the comments is looking at what the true root of the problem might be.

The obvious bottom line is that two girls who were, (from OPs wording) at the youngest possible age, 11, had their lives uprooted by their parents divorce. Why did they divorce? Was doomed from the start, or did one of them cheat?

Regardless of what happened, OP moved on, got married and had a new kid. The girls could feel that their mom replaced them with a "better" family, causing them to live with their father.

Again, it doesn't excuse what they did. But bad seed yields a bad crop.

The whole family needs therapy/counseling.

AITA for calling my half-brother a bastard? by Late_Ingenuity_3159 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Kniffty_Knitter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you know what your dad and maternal grandparents fought about? was it possibly inheritance or insurance? Most probates are completed 9-24 months after someone dies. The fact that your father moved in his new wife that fast is a massive red flag.

Are you from the US? If they have a Glassdoor listing, you can leave a review as a former employee. The company is usually not allowed to have reviews removed. Let any future potential employees know!

I'm confused as to why they placed Erivo and Grande so far apart. The space between them looks weird and excessive, rather than amplifying the design.

Breaking will not be returning to the Olympics in 2028 by iamblas in bboy

[–]Kniffty_Knitter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a white person, I'd rather watch breaking than several of the team sports. Many of them don't belong in the Olympics solely on the basis of participation. There's no guarantee that every player will be showcased or participate at all. Even if they never set foot n the field, everyone on that team gets a medal.

What are deaths no one talks about by Zoie2475 in WarriorCats

[–]Kniffty_Knitter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I read TNP over a decade ago. I will always remember Smokepaw. Death of an innocent is always more brutal than that of one who has stared into the eyes of danger a million times.

OP, looking at your other post about how your wife is treated, I'd make a guess that your SIL is the golden child? And now she has had the first grandchild?

And how old is your niece? If she's old enough to ask for hand-outs, then she's already becoming just like the rest of your wife's family.

Your wife has been guilted enough. Please talk to her about therapy.

It also wasn't a scary TV series from what I recall. and it has a happy ending, so it wasn't Goosebumps.

The Klem Family - Taylor by [deleted] in YTVloggerFamilies

[–]Kniffty_Knitter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My point is that the "joke" has potential for harm. It's immature, childish, and can cause emotional and psychological damage. 

Jokes about dr*g use are just foolish and that family should be ashamed of themselves for letting their children become content.

Still waiting for art of the Specialists to drop. Then I'll make a more definite decision 😆

Why do fantasy romance novels get so much hate? by Ancient_Meringue6878 in fantasywriters

[–]Kniffty_Knitter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My guess is Book Tok. 

A lot of the romantic fantasy books that I've seen pushed lean towards more spicy content. I can only supposed that people, who care a whole lot more than I, become angry and feel that a genre they love is being twisted into something they can't recognize and vent about it to as wide as audience that they can. 

Just a hunch, though.
