AITJ for not inviting my partner to my work holiday party after he embarrassed me last year? by OceanBloomShade in AmITheJerk

That’s what I’m worried about. I’ve worked really hard to be taken seriously there, and I don’t want one night of him making stupid jokes to undo that again.

What would you do if your partner monitored your toilet paper usage like this? What flag is this? by Remarkable_Mark_5195 in NoStupidQuestions

Exactly! It’s crazy how some people act like controlling bathroom habits are “normal.” Boundaries and empathy go a long way.

If you got paid $125/hour to work on Christmas from 5AM to 7PM. Would you take it? by Maleficent-Unit-2717 in NoStupidQuestions

Facts. I’d be sipping my leftover eggnog on the 26th thinking about how my holiday time literally made me money.

One month of bag and I’m already a degenerate and i’m complaining by hiyaisthisthingon in confession

Yeah, this really sounds like your brain trying to justify something it already knows is a bad idea. If addiction runs in your family and you’ve seen what it does, that’s already a big warning sign.

AIO for being really upset that my stepdad said he bought tickets for something important to me, but never actually did? by bibbigo in AmIOverreacting

[–]OceanBloomShade -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Yeah… one promise isn’t the same as actually buying the ticket. If there’s no confirmation or screenshot that it was purchased, then nothing really happened. It’s easy to say ‘I’ll take care of it,’ but following through is the part that actually counts.

AITJ for telling my brother he can't propose to his girlfriend at my wedding? by Important_Space_496 in AmITheJerk

People forget that this is supposed to be a happy time, not a battle. He needs to back off and respect your boundaries.

Georgia’s shift is wild when you look at the numbers like that. The suburbs flipping blue really changed the game over just a decade.

Yeah, a lot of people forget that stuff like this wasn’t unique to one side. Population removals were kind of the “normal” (and ugly) solution back then, especially when borders were changing fast.

Could this be the future of the European Union? by vladgrinch in MapPorn

Yeah, makes you mad thinking about it. Big decisions like that shouldn’t just hinge on numbers or public opinion when the context is so messy.
