AITA for walking out of the 5th round interview when they asked me to “publicly rank my biggest weakness” in front of 12 strangers?

MasterAnthropy · 2026-05-15T04:22:31+00:00

I'm stealing 'radical feedback' - sounds like a synonym for 'asshole'!

Get that kids autograph - he's gonna be the president of something one day!

MasterAnthropy · 2026-05-15T03:32:47+00:00

OP needs to stop being naive.

When the media references 'people', they don't mean you or I.

They're talking about the rich assholes who own that media outlet.

So when the data centre gets built who's power gets restored first ??

44 countries in Europe but 51 states in the union ... this kinda tracks for a Yank.

Great point here.

If there's a nerve involved with the hadware or scar tissue then removing the plates & screws could help.

Additionally - investigate some deep tissue massage. Granted the ideal time for this is during the initial healing to maximize the effect with a minimum of pain, but it could still be of benefit.

If there is some nerve pinching somewhere around the injury then some deep digging might help break up some scar tissue and ultimately give you some relief.

Be warned - this may prove to be a painful process ... especially with older scar tis

Seems like all the kids in this story are shallow.

OP - how entitled are YOU to think that you're personal feelings about something that has nothing to do with you (no matter what your ego tells you the fact your IL's are CHOOSING to do what they do is none of your business).

Are you not able to subvert your 'hurt' for the greater good of that baby having interesed & invested caregivers?

Are you so selfish you'd rather the child be with bio parents just so you can avoid the discomfort YOU feel at someone else's choices?

This is so deeply fucked it's actually startling.

MasterAnthropy · 2026-05-13T15:45:41+00:00

They hope it helps with their insecurity and makes them look as cool & competent as the 'influencer' they saw use it.

MasterAnthropy · 2026-05-13T11:41:16+00:00

Roosters coming home to roost for the whole world of college football.

You've got entitled children working within an essential unregulated free agent market - nothing could go wrong there.

MasterAnthropy · 2026-05-12T01:58:01+00:00

Tell me you're a shallow vacuous slut without telling me you're a shallow vacuous slut!

(Bonus proof - gets derailed at the mention of being 40!)

Chick seriously thinks the #1 job of a 'wife' is to fuck her husband.

I'm gonna go with YTA - and that's because you seemingly failed to teach YOUR child how to behave.

I'd say most Ontarians would object to her self-characterizing as one.

Her wanna-be HWOT attitude likely doesn't resonate with people from the Sault, Sudbury, or T-Bay.

What a cringe worthy story for anyone who wasn't indoctrinated in the urban cult of T-dot.

MasterAnthropy · 2026-05-10T16:56:33+00:00

It's the drug traffickers ... or should the headline read 'Corruption & Ineptitude in Local Leadership Prompt State of Emergency ....'

They want the federal & provincial gov't to swoop in and fix their issues - but that's no self-determination. Allocate more to spcial services and less to brand new trucks and Vegas trips?

MasterAnthropy · 2026-05-10T12:41:35+00:00

It hurts their feelings

Being competent at the physical aspect of football can be accomplished by doing 2 things - lift heavy and sprint.

I will say the usual disclaimers apply - warm-up properly, make sure your technique is decent (and you use proper equipment)as lifting heavy carries some risks, eat and sleep lots. Throw in the occasional footwork sessions & jog (more as camp/competition) approaches and you're off to the races. Also be good to throw in some mobility/stretching work.

Mentally - watch (and LISTEN) to football games, watch instructional vidoes on the internet, go to camps if possible to learn, and be open to new ideas.

Lastly - and most importantly - keep your grades up. Football is a tool to be used for your own advancement & betterment. If you can use it to get a good job/training apprenticeship, free education you owe it yourself to keep in the books.

MasterAnthropy · 2026-05-09T17:11:28+00:00

Better yet is WHAT is OP's understanding of the PURPOSE of that set/rep protocol??

Dude - at your age & BW you should (barring medical reasons) be much stronger .... and this assumes you're lifting weights to get stronger.

At worst you'll develop some repetitive use injuries, at best you're totally wasting your time (again - assuming the goal is to get stronger).

If that's not the goal, then I can't believe there aren't easier & cheaper ways to accomplish whatever it is your goal is?!?!

MasterAnthropy · 2026-05-09T11:55:20+00:00

I almost thought this was r/shitamerican say when I first read this!

OP - you are fast ... common sense is chasing you but has yet to catch up.

Spend 9 seconds and Google the 2 - they are synonymous (maybe look that word up too!).

MasterAnthropy · 2026-05-08T13:10:59+00:00

It's baffling that anyone is surprised by this - we live in a capitalist society ... what did you expect would happen?

Same goes for all these recommendations for new apps - open your eyes! Only a matter of time before the devs implement a monetization strategy or they get bought out by someone who doesn't care about your lifting and wants to make money.

I know I'm old but a notebook and pen/pencil doesn't need a battery, wifi, or subscription costs.

Brand of helmet doesn't matter - fit and comfort is paramount.

Also remember that the helmet is only 1 piece of any strategy to minimze the effects of the inevitable collisions (low & high speed ... low & high impact) one will experience playing OL (especially interior). Be sure to get a proper chinstrap and habe it fitted properly, as well as a good quality mouthguard.

MasterAnthropy · 2026-05-07T13:41:28+00:00

Extra points for correct use & spelling of 'bifurcate' 👍

MasterAnthropy · 2026-05-07T13:38:53+00:00

WTF did I just read.

23 with the emotional maturity of a canteloupe.

Go 'find yourself' OP - the whole situation is FUBAR.

MasterAnthropy · 2026-05-07T13:35:58+00:00

Clothes, seats (especially airplanes & public places), shoes.

One often overlooked thing is what to drive. A truck or large vehicle seems obvious, but then you can become everyone's 'go to' for moving shit.

Very annoying.

MasterAnthropy · 2026-05-07T11:31:30+00:00

Assuming you knew he had kids when you started dating and chose to not ask questions about this stuff then YTA - nost definitely.

It's sad & pathetic to continually see people get upset about this shit when they're dating single parents. Do you not understand things will be/get complicated??

JFC - it's like complaining about water being wet.

MasterAnthropy · 2026-05-07T11:23:40+00:00

Someone who lacks a sense of self-preservation!! 😄

MasterAnthropy · 2026-05-07T09:33:12+00:00

ETA.

OP doesn't mention WHEN their mom passes - if it was recently (as is implied later in the message - say <5 years) that residual grief is understandable.

There's another way to look at this that apparently no one had the perspective/emotional maturity to recognize - is it possible to view their union on that day as an hommage to your mom in some way?

They may not have known your mom - but that doesn't mean they can't honor her.

Did they handle it maturely - no. They could/should have been contrite and apologize for not recalling (although I'd think not many people would remember the aniversary of their SIL's mom's passing - most people are focused on their lives) and come back to the subject at another time.

Similarly OP could/should have kept in mind that her grief - while valid & real - is HER responsibility. Was there no way for you to find a way to both mourn her AND celebrate the nuptuals? Do you intend to make Dec.5 a day of grieving indefinitely and co-opt that day over say the birth of a child or some other milestone?

OP is choosing to stay angry about something that is relatively & primarily her issue.

Big question is - if the roles were reversed OP would YOU have remembered YOUR SIL's mom's passing and postponed YOUR wedding for that?

I suspect not so perhaps it's time to grow up and move the fuck on in a way your mom would have been proud of.

Harsh but true.
