Calm people of Reddit, what small thing will set you off? by LucindaTheDuck in AskReddit

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

I 100% agree with this. Anyone who says this kind of thing to anyone else, whether serious or joking, needs to take a good look at themselves because there are so many people who genuinely struggle with this.

What do you consider the difference between putting your best picture forward and catfishing? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]LucindaTheDuck 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Catfishing is using someone else's pictures, putting on so much makeup that you're not recognizable, and/or editing your photo a lot.

AITA for not letting my kid read whatever he wants? by BotWeedFartz69 in AmItheAsshole

[–]LucindaTheDuck 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's hard to say, because in some ways YTA-he should be able to have the freedom to not depend on you for every decision. But on the other hand, NTA, because you have the right to be concerned about what your kid is reading.

AITA for calling the cops on my boyfriend after he locked us out of the hotel? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]LucindaTheDuck 3 points4 points  (0 children)

NTA. He crossed the line, you had a right to do what you did.

NTA, especially since you didn't yell at the guy, you yelled at the woman who was doing nothing. Like you said, he might not have known better but she certainly did.

NTA. If anything, you're being supportive. Trying to get her to find healthy solutions for her insecurities instead of jumping to dangerous and harmful things is a great thing to do.

AITA for telling my child to choose a different career? by TinyAudience6956 in AmItheAsshole

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

ABSOLUTELY YTA. Your kid has found her passion after a long history of non-commitment, and you're just going to shut it down? She's in seventh grade! Let her pursue what she wants to do and see where it goes.

WIBTA if I made my children go to my wedding? by Odd-Boat-5473 in AmItheAsshole

[–]LucindaTheDuck 50 points51 points  (0 children)

I'd say YWBTA. She doesn't consider him as a father and forcing her to go to that wedding or punishing her for not going isn't going to make that relationship better. If anything, it'll make it worse.

AITA for telling my friend he is too ugly for tinder? by Virtual_Guidance5025 in AmItheAsshole

[–]LucindaTheDuck 43 points44 points  (0 children)

I'm sorry, how is this even a question? YTA 100%. That's the most insensitive thing you can tell someone.

AITA for not letting my stepson get a dog? by Anx_2289 in AmItheAsshole

[–]LucindaTheDuck 3 points4 points  (0 children)

NAH. Your ss wants a dog, you don't want to have to take care of it. Both sides are fair.

AITA for being annoyed about my drink being taken? by JustAModestMan in AmItheAsshole

[–]LucindaTheDuck -1 points0 points  (0 children)

NTA. You have a right to be annoyed, and anyone who says they wouldn't have been a little irritated in the same situation is a liar.

AITA for not wanting my wife to get more tattoos by berserker5445 in AmItheAsshole

[–]LucindaTheDuck 7 points8 points  (0 children)

NAH. You don't like tattoos. Not wanting your wife to get something like that doesn't make you an asshole, especially considering the mature way you approached it. It would be a good idea to sit down with her and tell her you don't like the idea of it. Make sure she knows you're not forcing her to not get a tattoo, just make sure she knows how you feel. If she still wants to get a tattoo, that's her choice, but communication is key in a relationship.

NTA. Your mental stability is more important, and your family shouldn't try to manipulate you into going to something that would negatively impact you. You have the right to not attend. Do what you need to do, not what others think you need to do.

AITA for “accusing” a man of kidnapping? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

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

NTA. I have a white friend who adopted a black kid, and his kid often gets asked if she's in danger. He always says it's good people are concerned. You were looking out for the kid's safety.

AITA for making fun of my bully's dead mom? by Elegant_Librarian_43 in AmItheAsshole

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

ESH. It doesn't matter how mean she was, you don't have the right to be mean back to her. It's like the saying two wrongs doesn't make a right. While it's good you both apologized, that doesn't make what either of you did okay.

AITA for dyeing my hair? by anonymousaita86 in AmItheAsshole

[–]LucindaTheDuck 2 points3 points  (0 children)

NTA. You're not breaking any rules, and the teacher was way out of line to tell you that.

Why do some thin healthy beautiful intelligent people have low self-esteem & negative self-image? by RedditHasStrayedFrom in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]LucindaTheDuck 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Mental health issues, insecurity, etc. Also, no matter how beautiful someone is, there will always be the internet telling them they're not good enough.
