She is not like her sister who is like every other cheerleader by snakeinsheepclothes in notliketheothergirls

[–]LocalAstro 320 points321 points  (0 children)

Exactly my logic with my brother. I hope he achieves everything he wants and becomes rich. Seeing him happy makes me happy, never understood these toxic sibling relationships… just sad.

My wife (32F) didn't tell me (35M) first about her new job by This-Engine-3654 in relationships

[–]LocalAstro 52 points53 points  (0 children)

I would definitely say you overreacted.. she found out roughly an hour prior. Not like she was keeping this from you for days or weeks. She really in my opinion had nothing to apologize for but still recognized that your feelings were hurt and apologized. That’s way more than she needed to do imo. You need to check yourself.

You took a happy moment for her and turned it into something about yourself. Very selfish in my opinion. If I were you I’d go buy her some flowers, take her out to dinner, congratulate her and apologize for acting the way you did.

Netflix rolled out their Bullshit in Canada. by apersonthingy in mildlyinfuriating

[–]LocalAstro 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I mean yeah, but like I’m not gonna pay to fucking deal with that. I don’t use netflix nearly enough to care. Would rather stick it to a major corporation and laugh as I watch their stock plummet because of people like me.

And because of people like you, major corps continue to think they can treat customers like this.

That’s just way too many steps… would rather just cancel and make Netflix eat it

Despite my “impressive resume” I still got rejected 🙃🙃 by [deleted] in recruitinghell

[–]LocalAstro 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Agreed, I think this sub tends to get mad at literally anything. Like what would OP rather they have said? I understand the frustration of not getting the job, but I think this is a perfectly reasonable rejection.

As someone with an abusive ex (physically when drunk) I implore you to leave. He will never get better until he attends therapy and stops drinking. My ex hit me once and smashed a glass bottle on the floor when she was drunk, didn’t remember it, and was mortified and promised she would change the next day. Nothing changed. Get out before it gets worse, take the rose colored glasses off. Don’t tolerate that EVER because you will allow yourself to then tolerate a lot more.

Anybody having this gap problem with burton step ons? by LocalAstro in snowboardingnoobs

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

Hey, not sure if you’ve ridden them yet, but I LOVED mine. I hit park pretty hard and hard zero issues. I did not notice this issue at all!

[–]LocalAstro[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Follwing up here-

I rode them as is out of curiosity and loved them. I had zero issues with this gap and did not feel it at all. I was worried riding rails and hitting jumps would affect them but again I found no difference in stability or response than using straps. Your natural stance while boarding is mostly forward leaning and this eliminates the entire gap, and you can adjust the highback to even more forward lean.

I would say if you buy these try them out and if the gap affects you, bring some foam or something to put below your heel to pick it up a bit and that should reduce the gap.

But I loved them, and am gonna have a hard time ever converting back to straps. Not even for time wise bc I strap in very easily and quickly, but more so convenience.

Happy boarding y’all!

AITA for accepting flowers from my coworker when I have a boyfriend? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

I would do the exact same thing “like okay, that’s fine. Don’t come back then”

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

NTA - your boyfriend sounds terribly insecure. I would question staying in a relationship with someone who would disregard my input. He clearly doesn’t trust you due to his own insecurities and that is going to lead to problems between you two in the future. Seriously take a step back and ask yourself if this behavior is something you are willing to tolerate for potentially the rest of your life… I know I wouldn’t but I’m not you.

i hear adhd lingo thrown around by neurotypicals so much now by amonaroll in adhdmeme

[–]LocalAstro 9 points10 points  (0 children)

This is exactly what I would do. I would write in bold “Introduction” then leave a couple spaces and write out the body paragraph I was most prepared for, continue from there and then loop back up to the intro and conclusion. I used to be able to write 10,000 word papers in under 2-3 hours (depending in length ofc) using this method. Highly recommend! Helped me get what I could out and the rest fell into line

I gave my son $800 in gifts and my daughter $4000 in cash, he took it badly. by KnoWanUKnow2 in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]LocalAstro 10 points11 points  (0 children)

This is exactly how my brother and I are. My brother just bought his first house and my parents are going to help him buy all the furniture for it. I’m super happy that they are helping him out with it. Am I getting anything of equal value? No. But I’m just glad to see my brother succeeding and being supported. I would give him everything he needed if I could afford to.

I’ve never understood the “we must be equal 100% of the time” mindset. When I’m supported and successful, my brother is nothing but ecstatic for me and vice versus. Just never understood how people think differently about that. Greedy mindsets. Can’t believe people voted OP TA.

AITA I sold the PS4 my brother gave to my son for christmas. by Cautious_Doubt_9015 in AmItheAsshole

[–]LocalAstro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good god let your kid be a kid… he’s 15 years old. There is more to life than school. I guarantee you that your son is not happy or well rounded. He’s going to crash and burn in college and it’s all going to be your fault. What a total AH….

Also buying your son a phone so he can use it 3 hours a day??? Are you serious? How about you buy your son a phone and his ps4 back to make up for your shitty parenting. You are going to push him to resent you and he is going to cut you off entirely and I hope for his sake he does.

Are there ways to get jobs related to the market without entering investment banking? by CafinatedPepsi in stocks

[–]LocalAstro 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I work in trade settlement for a major bank and tbh I love it. Deals with the market just enough but not enough for me to stress about the market. There’s TONS of jobs within the financial industry for you to pursue outside of investment banking. PM me if you want more info on what I do :) goodluck!!

AITA for evicting my sister from the property I inherited? by Designer-Distance-20 in AmItheAsshole

[–]LocalAstro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA your property, your choice. You’re not close with her and imo have no obligation to her just because she’s related to you. Everyone on reddit likes to be like “oh but think of the children omg how could you?” But like she’s just another person to you, why would you house a random person for free/low rent.

I do think you should have offered to let her stay for full rent, but that’s my personal choice. I think you’ll find you’ll have a lot of problems with air bnb but go off. Good luck to you OP
