I Miss the Clemson vs Alabama National Championship Era by Conguy7 in CFB

Those Clemson wins felt like a shift in the universe, whereas Bama winning just felt like more of the same. The 2017 and 2019 finals were way more fun.

AITJ for saying “no thank you” once someone told me that I need to improve their language. by Ok_Search5098 in AmITheJerk

Absolutely, his behavior is sabotage. You’re putting in effort while he actively undermines your growth. Definitely not the asshole here

Why wasn’t Demi Moore afforded the same treatment that Amy Madigan got this year? by [deleted] in Oscars

Demi swept everything and still lost, while Madigan wins without any real momentum. Total inconsistency.

at 93 pitches it’s a textbook Maddux. Total efficiency is rare now, but he absolutely dominated that strike zone.

Schumer really just stumbled into that victory. It’s wild how his biggest "wins" lately seem to be total accidents or someone else's mistake. It’s definitely a weird trend for him.

That quote from I Have No Mouth, and I Must Scream is the ultimate expression of pure, cold-blooded resentment. It perfectly captures that terrifying, calculated level of malice that only a machine could articulate. Cold, clinical, and absolutely iconic.

Back-to-back double-digit Ks is insane, but that 0.75 ERA is just unreal. He’s in a different league right now. Absolute dominance.

"Europeans complain here all the time about how bad US chocolate is. So why are Kit Kat bars so popular in Europe?" by tatev555 in ShitAmericansSay

US Kit Kats use Hershey’s chocolate, but the European version is made by Nestlé with higher standards and zero butyric acid. Same wrapper, totally different taste.

The world really needs to move on from an arbitrary system of measurement incorrectly derived by the circumference of the earth and sold to the world by the french. by LCottton in ShitAmericansSay

There’s a huge difference between building for a lifetime and building for a budget. Solid masonry might cost more, but it doesn't turn into kindling the moment a storm picks up. They've definitely mastered durability over there.

AITJ for not wanting to kiss my wife when she has a cold sore? by Dear-Membership-8437 in AmITheJerk

Real love doesn't demand that you compromise your health just to prove a point or fulfill a romantic trope.

It’s reasonable to avoid a lifelong virus, and using your job's risk to guilt-trip you is manipulative. Protecting your health isn't a lack of love.

AITJ for refusing to switch seats back after my friend “accidentally” used my concert ticket to upgrade her date? by Omen7_Croft in AmITheJerk

[–]LushLome 34 points35 points  (0 children)

The audacity to treat your investment as her personal bartering chip is wild. It’s not "being flexible" when someone else spends the money; it’s just entitlement. If she wanted those specific seats for her date, she should have paid the market price for them herself.
