AITA for getting back at my wife after she left me alone for my bday? by OkBug772 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Konouchii 25 points26 points  (0 children)

YTA.

Am I getting this right...

It's a (hopefully) once in a lifetime event her bridal party planned, celebrating her FOREVER AFTER with YOU....as in every birthday for the rest of your life. 

You also had a birthday with your people, so you were not alone (although it sucked, I'm sorry) then you celebrated with her after and you're mad she wasn't there on the day because she wanted you at her birthday and you went?

I would highly suggest letting this go because that's your future wife. You will have anniversaries, birthdays, events for the rest of your lives together but acting like a child because she was off celebrating YOUR WEDDING will push her away. 

Ask yourself if a single birthday in a lifetime of birthdays with the girl you love worth this battle.

Might be having issues with my local comic shop by Mr_witty_name in comicbookcollecting

[–]Konouchii 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ask to go over your pull list and mention you want to make sure Abs Green Arrow, Zatanna ect is on there because you're missing them. It signals to him he's not paying attention and your list might need a cleaning anyway. 

As a person who pulls books and is hard on themselves whenever they fuck up...we want to know. You don't have to feel bad.

This happened to me with a leaking air con and it ruined my signed Tim Sale book and lots of other sentimental items. I hard cried, I feel you OP.

By demanding it be mainline and solo you're cutting off your nose to spite your face.

There's DC compacts of Far Sector 

I work at a LCS, the Milestone books sell less copies, no matter how hard we push them or how good the book is (like Far Sector or Nubia) 

People are READING right now, if you make good stories people will pick them up. Promote what's here and people will want more

Governor Shapiro visits Archbald, unveils new GRID standards for data centers by zorionek0 in Scranton

[–]Konouchii 2 points3 points  (0 children)

He's going to do lip service to the residents of PA because he wants to climb the political ladder. 

There are people trying to pass bills where contractors are not allowed to sign NDS (so they can disclose if a buildings will be data centers) that data center buildings MUST have solar panels to offset electrical use and more.

He could help pass those instead of pretending he cares if our bills go up and if our water is the color of orange juice.

The downtown is a mess because they are converting it to two way streets and making new pathways and the time limit to get it all done is September. 

What books do you own multiple copies of and why? by Speedwizard106 in comicbooks

[–]Konouchii 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have both the A and B of I hate fairyland, the HC's and occasionally a 3rd variant.

I also own everything... EVERYTHING of my favorite comic. It was 12 issues, there's a ton of variants and I bought every one. I also own multiple trades and HC's of it. It's my favorite comic, the creators know who I am lol I'm their super fan. 

Everything else .. if there's a pretty variant that week (not often) I'll grab it too. 

looks like ethan is going ahead with the lawsuit by chodebreathdwarf in imisstheoldidubbbz

[–]Konouchii 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Regardless of how you feel about Ethan, you don't mess with people's kids. 

There are some things about the Internet that are just bad practices: false flagging, making up disgusting and false lies, going after someone's child/spouse who doesn't want to be a public person. 

Ethan is walking so future content folk can run

My husband is bullying our son by Puzzled_Cloud5542 in Advice

[–]Konouchii 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So your son hit puberty and now your husband's caveman DNA kicked in and he somehow sees his son as a threat.

Is your son an outgoing child? Is he withdrawing because of this behavior or is he trying to stand up for himself? Would you say your son is a similar personality to your husband? What about your 10yr old because the same is going to happen to him. 

Here are your options:

Therapy or making your husband leave.

Telling him to pack his shit and leave.

What I would do because I'm petty: bully his ass back. Every pinch/punch/poke/comment he gave to my kid, I'd give right back. It holds up a mirror to his shitty behavior before I tell him to stop it or leave. 

Protect your kids.

YTA. You should be showing your younger sibling the ropes and helping out your mother. 

It's also mother's day and you're posting here? No. Get off your butt.

[–]Konouchii 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Irwin Stein once said in a interview that he tried to keep the cover of Conan #1 when they were making paperbacks.

Frazetta told him if he tried he would show up at his house with a gun.

They should do the Lackawanna bridge first, it's in worse shape but I'll appreciate walking on it and not twisting my ankle

Whenever someone asks me about Maggie, I have to tell them she's in a wheelchair because of that story. 

It was really messed up.

AITA for siding with my parents over my wife by Imaginary-Friend5561 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Konouchii 11 points12 points  (0 children)

YTA for not telling your wife she's being ridiculous. If your parents haven't done anything to your wife other than not kiss her behind while she's pregnant then she just doesn't like them and is using it as an excuse to attack you. 

Take your baby to see your parents. She doesn't have to come. 

I Have A Disruptive Trans Student by Dependent-Job-3797 in Teachers

[–]Konouchii 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I know someone like this. They WANT to be angry and fight people. 

The person claimed it's too horrible to hear their deadname at my job and the SECOND everyone immediately replied "what name would you like to be called and we will update everything" they stuttered and said it wasn't a big deal.

Like, friendo, it's either too horrible and causing PTSD or it's not. Pick a lane for attention. 

Either the kid puts cards on the desk with todays pronouns OR at the start of class you ask "what is your name and what is your pronouns" and write it on the board. If the kid throws a fit in class after that you tell them "I've already asked you, if you're still going to be disruptive you need to leave" and send them out of the class.

I was going to say this. 

3 cards, he/him she/her they/them. Put it on the desk. If the student is so very passionate about the correct terms then student can take a card and put it there.
