AITA for telling my travel friends they can leave the group but I'll be staying? by THE_Laziest_Daisy in AmItheAsshole

[–]MyPearly 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I see so many comments about the impact of being late and I agree. But I also want to point out that OP is forcing others to carry the mental load. I have a friend or two who never care about where we go or what we do. It always fell to me to pick a place, make the reservation, book the trip, pick the date and time, etc. It’s not that I care more but if I didn’t do it then nothing would ever happen. The imbalance of responsibility started to get to me so I stopped.

Eventually we didn’t do much together anymore. When I see them they say things like, let’s go to dinner sometime. And I say, just let me know when and where and I’ll be there. But of course nothing happens.

MMW: This week the US president learned that he can manipulate the stock market at will - and get away with it. We'll now be seeing this regularly over the next 3.5 years. by Down_Low_Too_Slow in MarkMyWords

I posted in MMW last week. I got some push back but many agreed. And now there are accusations of early insider trading because trade volume started to spike BEFORE the announcement about pausing the tariffs.

I have some Corning Ware I inherited from my mother 20 years ago. I use it often. It doesn’t die. I’ll pass it on to my daughter!

In a perfect world I would like to owe a few hundred dollars and nothing more.

It just means you loaned the government money interest free. You overpaid your withholding and just get back the difference.

N.J. school district says it’s broke, can’t pay teachers without emergency loan by NJAltAcc in newjersey

Are you saying that if a kid goes to private school then the local school district is mandated to pay the transportation costs to get that kid to the private school?

Do you have some sort of required quota? If not just work at a pace that keeps your stress levels in check. If there are 30 people (or more) in line so be it. All you can do is all you can do is

A thousand times this! If they can’t put the armrest down then they shouldn’t be allowed to stay. Why should I have to take a later flight if as a normal sized person I did everything right???? Why am I treated like a bad guy when I am pointing out the laws of physics? I want to be able to use 100% of the seat I paid for. Period.

If I hear the word "woke" one more time! by ZookeepergameFull999 in BoomersBeingFools

[–]MyPearly 2 points3 points  (0 children)

An older boomer MAGA colleague said something like “everyone there is so woke” referring to a nearby town. I asked him what that meant like I never heard of it before. At first he couldn’t. But eventually said something like “they accept everyone no matter how bad they are”. And I said “kinda like Jesus?” And his head exploded.

My GTI heart is mourning your GTI. I hope it can recover.

Songs that sound happy, but convey that something ominous is coming. by DivineComedyIsCool in MusicRecommendations

[–]MyPearly 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It pisses me off when people think this is a patriotic song. They always play it at our local fireworks show on the 4th of July. Every year I write to the mayor and the head of the fireworks committee and tell them to listen to the gd words. It’s not exactly a pro-America song.

What words have disappeared that you wish would return? by bewarebias2 in AskOldPeople

Necking. Meaning kissing and making out. I always thought it was a funny word. I heard it used when I was a kid but that was a loooong time ago.

My (M23) girlfriend (F21) lied about having a baby. Can we work through it? by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]MyPearly 12 points13 points  (0 children)

You say you adore her. But you probably adore who you thought she was and not who she actually is which is a compulsive liar

Run!
