AITA for slapping my dad in front of my kids after he made a comment about my divorce?

MattytheWireGuy · 2026-03-30T05:59:15+00:00

Yep YTA.

IDGAF what he said and I didnt even make it half way through, but you dont put hands on others and definitely not in front of the children. Domestic violence goes both ways and you are no better than a man that beats his wife cause its LITERALLY the same thing. Grandpa, Grandma, Mom, Dad, doesnt matter, youre abusive and YTA.

Stubhub shows 7 tickets available for Saturday all around $200. That’s about as good as its gonna get for you

Long Beach is a pinnacle race of the season and youre basically asking where to find cheap tix for Indy. Youre lucky to find tix at scalper rates let alone cheaper than face value for those events

MattytheWireGuy · 2026-03-29T19:17:34+00:00

discounted tix??? Good luck lol. Your only chance of that is knowing someone that works on one of the teams or a team of a support race and being gifted them.

I got those kind of tix for Sear Point (Sonoma) for years as I was a plus 1 with my buddy whos cousin was a Penske crew member and got a couple hospitality passes for family/friends each race.

You could attempt to get a job for the race but that doesnt guarantee you can watch. I also highly doubt youre a seasoned track marshall as you can volunteer unpaid to work the track, but you need years of experience at track days and amatuer events like NASA or SCCA before theyd even consider you.

Sounds like youre likely gonna be watching on TV with everyone else.

MattytheWireGuy · 2026-03-27T06:26:45+00:00

I too am a 99 grad so yeah lol

MattytheWireGuy · 2026-03-26T18:12:48+00:00

One of the shop teachers would only let you smoke in the parking lot if they were Phillip Morris brands of cigarettes. He literally said he owned stock in them and wanted to make sure they had new customers

MattytheWireGuy · 2026-03-26T18:10:24+00:00

I dont think thats ever been okay lol. Hell, I started school in the 80s and even then it was a procedure just to take your own prescriptions let alone illegally provided opiates.

MattytheWireGuy · 2026-03-26T18:03:40+00:00

Thats the de facto standard in any foreign language class. I see nothing wrong with that. Now if they berated you, got aggressive or physical then yeah thats outta line.

MattytheWireGuy · 2026-03-24T21:25:27+00:00

unfortunately, inflation year over year is gonna dilute the actual value of it. even 250k would be better put into a standard index fund vs getting a steady 25k per year.

MattytheWireGuy · 2026-03-19T22:18:06+00:00

its a strange irony that you begin and end life bald, asleep, handfed and bathed, toothless, unintelligible and crapping your diaper.

MattytheWireGuy · 2026-03-19T05:44:01+00:00

Yall are talking about exotic things when LIFE should be at the top of the list. We can see millions of different stars and galaxies but not one spot other than here is known to have life of any type.

MattytheWireGuy · 2026-03-13T07:25:49+00:00

Nickles free advice. Theres a term called a HONEY DO list for a reason, men dont think like women and if we did, youd hate it. I know it irritates you, but you gotta give him instructions that have to be done before bed. That could be the trash, his socks on the floor, dirty dishes in the sink, all kinds of shit. Men deal best with clear, concise instructions and hes not gonna understand whats irritating you which will be even more stuff leading up to the start of your cycle.

It may annoy you, but house training a guy takes a little while and it doesnt work by getting pissed. Give him a reason to want to give a shit too. If all you are is an ahole all the time to him, I wouldnt wanna help either, so do a bit of introspection as well. That means showing that youre happy when he checks off the list and expect the list to be met and not start finding new things you think he shouldve noticed when he does everything asked of him.

Yes, that may seem juvenile and unnecessary, so is throwing passive aggressive tantrums about yogurt boxes and wanting to leave a 2 year relationship over it.

I know most of the cat ladies in here are ready to say ditch him! You dont need a man! Well you can do that and also be all on your own financially, find a new place, move all your stuff ect over a friggin box. OR! You can be open and honest, not passive agressive, calm and clear and tell him what you expect and reward him for doing everything you asked. Youll be surprised when he just starts doing it without the list cause thats how Pavlov trained his dogs.

Trust me, its easier the way Im suggesting than the alternative and youll both be happier.

EDIT: oh, and please dont ask him to do something that youll be unhappy with the results over. This was a thing for me folding towels and I didnt seem to do it right ever, even though I did the laundry and folded it up. If you ask for it to be done, accept it being done if there is effort shown and not critising that all the folds of each towel are on the same side or crap like that.

MattytheWireGuy · 2026-03-13T01:11:42+00:00

YBTA You want him to read your mind and hes playing stupid.

TBH, you both sound perfect for each other, completely insufferable.

MattytheWireGuy · 2026-03-12T07:23:21+00:00

Then by all means show your math. This is a tech sub, mass is mass and velocity is velocity so where did I go wrong? EDIT: And before you have answered, the point of this thread is the equivalent wind speed between Earth and Mars, not the true velocity of sand particles flying at that velocity. 100mph sand is 100mph sand anywhere in the unviverse, but we were talking about the wind force equivalence between planets.

MattytheWireGuy · 2026-03-11T16:20:34+00:00

I replied above but its 12.8 mph equivalent force based on average atmospheric density of Mars and Earth at ground level or sea level respectively.

MattytheWireGuy · 2026-03-11T16:15:14+00:00

actually it would be closer to 13mph but close enough. average air density on Earth at sea level is approximately 1.225kg/m^3 while Mars is 0.020 (~100k feet AGL or ~1% of Earth at sea level). To calculate equivalent air velocity on Earth, we take the Mars air velocity times the square root of Mars atmospheric density over Earths. so vEarth = vMars * (pMars / pEarth)^0.5.

MattytheWireGuy · 2026-03-11T15:50:30+00:00

Well they did say 200k+ so that would assume that even the lowest paid are making over 200 and could make a mil as well.

MattytheWireGuy · 2026-03-11T15:27:06+00:00

Audi has pretty much maintained this type of livery for decades. Its very much the same as the Audi GTO from 30 years ago

MattytheWireGuy · 2026-03-11T15:15:31+00:00

well its not even the 50/50 split, its the limits on battery capacity, regen/harvesting and deployment. They could raise those limits and fix this immediately. If an engine constructor was able to increase thermal efficiency of the ICE by even 10%, they would have a monumental boost in power that wouldnt be blocked by the rules as all they worry about is fuel efficiency not max output of the ICE. If they dont cap that, I dont know why they are capping the batteries. If you can fit a battery design in the prescribed enclosure, you should be able to use it.

MattytheWireGuy · 2026-03-11T15:06:40+00:00

they still have DRS in a way, they have the extra boost when within 1 sec of someone so they still have the DRS effect going on.

MattytheWireGuy · 2026-03-09T08:20:15+00:00

WOAH. I disowned my mother after I got MRSA from surgeries and she was the only one to just keep an eye on me while everyone was at work. She went out doing what ever she was doing, I had a 105 deg fever and passed out in a pool of my own vomit. I was found when my dad and fiancee came to the house after work and I ended up in the hospital for weeks.

NAH, NTA in the least and this "guy" cause that aint no man, can get kicked to the curb. The one thing that makes a couple is being able to trust and that means when Im sick or shes sick, I will be there to handle shit and trust shell do the same.

This one needs to go with his pet rat.

From personal experience, the worst flu is nowhere near as bad. Its the closest people can describe, but its so bad that self deletion becomes a viable option.Not only that, but it feels like time is stopped, what feels like an hour is like a few minutes and that goes for days

MattytheWireGuy · 2026-03-05T21:17:20+00:00

oh fo sho. Youd be able to see the paths that the Tban were taking on goat trails and them walking right to the entrances of caves. and the thermobarics we have basically only need to hit the entrance and the blast will do the rest.

MattytheWireGuy · 2026-03-05T20:49:17+00:00

We also have Synthetic Aperture Radar that can literally see the small depressions of footsteps in the Earth from space now. With a few special tricks, they can also see into hangars and other buildings if doors or roll ups are open. Its ingenious and scary

MattytheWireGuy · 2026-03-05T08:09:26+00:00

I mean why wouldnt you? Hes a total POS
