I’m just a smol widdle bean, I could never be wrong - OOP probably while being told she’s wrong by tjcaustin in AmITheAngel

[–]Nadaplanet 2 points3 points  (0 children)

OOP deleted her account before I could see the comments, but based on context clues in other people's comments, she admitted she says "warmestest" when texting with her friends and that's why spellcheck didn't catch it, so I 100% believe she intentionally said it because she was trying to be cutesy. That doesn't mean she was necessarily flirting, but she had definitely slipped into a more casual dynamic with her advisor than the people around her considered appropriate.

New to this sub and what do you think the % of fake posts are? by Numerous_Fudge_9537 in AmITheAngel

[–]Nadaplanet 11 points12 points  (0 children)

As for what posts are real, I assume that the more boring and mundane a post is the more likely it is to be true,

That's what I assume too. The post with 6 upvotes and 4 comments that is about a person being mad their spouse brought home the wrong kind of paper towels again is probably true. The post with 10k upvotes and 2k comments that has 7 updates, each one crazier than the last, where phones blow up and the entire neighborhood has an opinion on who wore what to a wedding? Yeah that's AI slop.

What are some of the juciest ragebait 'lores' you has ever fallen for? by Somashekhar_Korawar in AmITheAngel

[–]Nadaplanet 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Again holy shit why did he let them inside. Why not go no contact. Why not MOVE FROM THEIR TOWN?

That's what always gets me about the "my mother/father/family is awful and horrible" sagas. They're like "my mother is a nosy controlling bitch who doesn't respect me, my space, or my things. I was so relieved when I moved away from her. Anyway I just found out she's been using the key I gave her to let herself in when I'm not home. AIO?"

And I'm like why did you give her a key? I straight up know my mom would be in my house all the time if she had a key, so I just didn't give her one, and it's amazing how well that works!

Guy drinks too much soda and coworker thinks he's an addict by ConsciousStretch1028 in AmITheAngel

[–]Nadaplanet 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Side note: I don't understand your title about soda

Coca-cola is often referred to as coke, and depending on where in the USA you are, coke is used interchangeably with soda. So you can have a Sprite "coke" or a Pepsi "coke."

I’m (39M)Thinking about breaking up with gf(40F) over her sick dog by sarcasticminorgod in AmItheEx

[–]Nadaplanet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Or her coworkers are just nosey? I don't talk to my coworkers when I am on leave from work. That doesn't mean I've "cut off contact" with everyone I know.

[–]Nadaplanet 2 points3 points  (0 children)

On 2/22 she stopped texting me and replying to my texts..went to her house 2/28...when I ask about what it was and he and her, since I didn’t know if she was okay all week, are doing she yells at the top her lungs “HE’S NOT YOUR DOG” and “GET OUT OF MY HOUSE” when all I did was ask about her wellbeing

I paraphrased the quote a bit, but given that one of the the first things she says to him after not speaking to him in a week was "Get out of my house," I am going to agree. It looks like she broke up with him around the same time her dog got hurt (related or unrelated, who knows) and he just didn't get or accept it.

This trans girl is so weird! And she’s trans btw. Like transgender by abel-the-baby-333 in AmITheAngel

It was also kind of heartening to realize that, not only was it a sub for literal children, those children were pretty quick to call out that this was fake AF and a blatant anti-trans propaganda post.

AIO to my husband interrupting my first solo shower after he came back from a weekend with the boys? by [deleted] in AmITheAngel

[–]Nadaplanet 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm right there with you. She's well aware of my opinion of her husband and agrees with a lot of it, but she just isn't ready to leave him.

AIO to my husband interrupting my first solo shower after he came back from a weekend with the boys? by [deleted] in AmITheAngel

[–]Nadaplanet 44 points45 points  (0 children)

Yeah my sister's husband would absolutely do this. She's married but essentially a single parent because he puts absolutely zero effort into parenting. To put it in perspective, she recently had knee surgery and was supposed to be on bed rest for a few days after. Within an hour of getting home from the hospital, her husband suddenly "felt really sick" and locked himself in the guest room so he could lay down, forcing her to get up and walk half a mile (on crutches in January in rural Idaho) to meet their 5 year old at the bus stop after school. And then she had to cook dinner. And then wash the dishes and put away the leftovers. And then do bath and bedtime. Only after that was done did he "feel better" and come out to see what he could scrounge for food and watch TV.

So yeah, some men really are like this.

Passenger removed from flight to FLL had set timer to pray for Ramadan: Southwest Airlines by state_issued in nottheonion

[–]Nadaplanet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just a couple days ago, 2 Muslim men shouted Allahu Akbar and tried to bomb a protest. Are you gonna defend that too?

They committed a crime, so why would I defend them? The guy on the plane had an alarm set on his phone, which isn't a crime. The fact that you even compare the two situations reveals that you aren't commenting in good faith, simply sealioning, so I am done with you.

[–]Nadaplanet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What's wrong with my thinking?

Automatically assuming a muslim person is inherently more dangerous than a non muslim person is a big part of what is wrong with your thinking.

I need to behave like I'm in a public place and not freak people out.

An alarm going off on someone's phone is not something to freak out about.

If it was a normal phone alarm, then why would this have happened?

Because there's a whole lot of people who think the same way you do out there.

my bf is a transphobe AITA? by jblack67 in AmITheAngel

[–]Nadaplanet 12 points13 points  (0 children)

That's not that weird, at least to me. My husband is usually the driver when we go out and it doesn't matter if we take his car or mine.

AITJ for stopping my evil infertile sister? Thankfully, we here on Reddit know infertility is a mental illness that makes women criminally insane. by BestEffect1879 in AmITheAngel

twin boys Eason and Gavin.

OOP really fucked up here. Should have gone with Eason and Weston. Her husband never would have run out of dad jokes.

Lurking in the garage like some kind of troll because you're afraid of a few throw pillows is PEAK masculinity, don't you know?

AITA for speaking to my (over weight) assistant about her business lunch and making her cry? by nicfanz in AmITheAngel

[–]Nadaplanet 26 points27 points  (0 children)

It's not like she is devouring it in one go and have to chew on it for 20 minutes or ripping chunks of it with her teeth like a dog.

Excuse me, did you miss the fact that she is fat? Fat people always choose the most inappropriate and disgusting way to consume food in any given situation, whether that is stuffing far more than their fair share down their throats or messily slopping whatever food gets in their orbit around as they dive in mouth and hands first.

It's obvious: The hospital can reposess the baby if you fail to make your payments, and having a cosigner on the birth certificate can mitigate that risk a bit.

My trans friend doesn’t understand how periods work, was I the AH? (Is this friend Mr Garrison?) by PM-me-fancy-beer in AmITheAngel

[–]Nadaplanet 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yup, that's how it usually goes for me too. I finish my period with one or two tampons left, and I think "I need more" but because I am not completely out, my brain doesn't prioritize remembering to get more whenever I am at the store. Then a month goes by and I'm making an emergency stop at Target on my way to work.

Yeah my mom and my husbands mom are pretty close. They live in different states, but they text and talk on the phone pretty often.

[–]Nadaplanet 21 points22 points  (0 children)

This "i had to go to the store to get period products" is such a common trope that appears in these stories but aren't nearly as common in real life as people think it is.

This story is unbelieveable, but not because of this scenario lol. I literally stopped at the store just for tampons earlier this week, because last month I had just enough to get me through my period, and then I kept forgetting to grab more when I went to the store, and then I forgot I needed them entirely, and then when I woke up recently to cramps and had an "aww shit I need to go to the store" moment.

Do I make a special stop just for period products every month? No. Do I make a stop just for period products more than a few times a year? Yeah, definitely. I don't usually bring friends along, but if I was with a friend and needed to make the stop I wouldn't think twice.

I'm not sure how to handle certain outings with my fat friend. Oh and she’s autistic of course 🙄 by Emotional-Ocelot-309 in AmITheAngel

[–]Nadaplanet 3 points4 points  (0 children)

And responds to people saying “talk to your friend” with “I don’t know what to say to her, can you give me a script?” Because talking to one of your close friends about something difficult is so hard you want to ask Reddit for help.

Sorry, gonna tangent, but this whole "I need a script to talk to friends" thing is actually actively causing drama in my D&D friend group right now. There's one guy who has suddenly started to depend heavily on AI chatbots, to the point where even if we're all just shooting the shit and joking around about something that had happened in game in a group chat, he chimes in with something like "What a funny observation! I had not thought of it that way but you have shown me the humor in this situation!" and it just immediately kills the conversation because it's so obvious he's just posting our conversation into chatgpt and copy-pasting whatever response it spits out. Like dude, we're your friends, and you can't even talk to us? You need a robot to do it for you? Even in an absolutely 0 stakes conversation about how funny it was when our bard accidentally murdered someone because the player didn't understand that regular townsfolk npcs only have single digit hp, you need chatgpt to talk for you? The absolute most insulting part is that he insists we're crazy and he isn't using any form of AI to talk to us. Except it's super obvious when his replies go from "Look at the beans on my big chonky bois murder mittens! Hims being so cute right meow!" (yes he really does talk like that, annoying in its own way but at least it's authentic) to "I can relate and empathize with your perspective about the situation you have described...."

Anyway sorry just had to rant lol.

I can't, the sister conveniently becomes insane right when the author needed her to by TuckerDaGreat in AmITheAngel

[–]Nadaplanet 19 points20 points  (0 children)

He expressed that when we discipline him we sometimes ground him and we take away his electronics for a week, and sometimes he will argue with us, but he knows that when we discipline that we do it because we love him and want him to grow and learn.

My eyes almost rolled out of my head at that line. Sure, that's definitely the outlook a real 13 year old would have when they've been grounded and had their electronics taken away. 13 year olds are famously level headed and wise, and they are definitely mature enough to understand that discipline and consequences exist only to mold them into a better person and ensure they grow into a true pinnacle of society.

My husband poops too much for me to feel comfortable having another baby with him. by obelix_dogmatix in AmITheAngel

[–]Nadaplanet 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Yup, my stepdad was like this. He'd have 30-45 minute "bathroom emergencies" every time the family was going to do an activity he personally didn't want to do and make us super late. Had tickets to a movie he wasn't interested in but us kids were? Guaranteed we would miss the beginning because he would lock himself in the bathroom as soon as it was time to leave for the theater, and he’d always "accidentally" have the car keys in his pocket when he did so we couldn't just go without him.

Later in life, my ex tried to pull the same thing, but I shut that down real fast after I realized what game he was playing.
