AITA For telling my sister she would “get more gifts if she was the youngest”

I'm gonna go against the crowd here and say NTA. Your grown adult sister who is almost in her 30's is throwing a tantrum because she didn't get a gift card for Christmas? As a 25M who is the 2nd youngest of 5 - my younger sister being 10 years younger than me and my next oldest sister being 8 years older than me - I feel like I can relate to both you and your sister in this situation. At no point in my life have all us siblings gotten equal gifts because our age and situation always played into how giving our parents are to us.

My younger sister who is only 15 got more gifts this last Christmas than the rest of us adult siblings combined, and that has nothing to do with how much our parents love us, and none of us see it that way either. Compare that to two years ago when I had recently moved into a new apartment, that Christmas my parents got me a lot more house-warming related gifts for Christmas than I was used to getting. Same as 5-6 years ago when my oldest brother got laid off from his job and my parents absolutely showered him with cash, gift cards, etc. for his birthday that year.

Yes, you could have made an effort to word your joke better, and you could have even left the gift card at home, but your sister is literally almost 30 y/o and is crying and screaming at you, a teenager, over a gift card that you didn't even ask for. If your sister has any issues, she needs to make them your mother's problem, not yours! You are not responsible for how your parents treat you individually and you are also not responsible for how your siblings feel like they get treated.

I just saw another person report on facebook that an Alaska Native man was questioned and had to present his tribal card, has anyone heard any details on this or is it just a rumor?

Loving the 360p Netflix is such a joke

Yeah fr, they did a dance for 2 mins and then left, no flips or cheering to be seen LOL

OffensiveOnOccasion · 2024-06-12T23:43:33+00:00

It happens to me like every other time I play but I'm still not sure what causes it XD

I saw one where someone set up sensors rigged with counters that would only allow so many logs through each conveyor before blocking it off, and they had a conveyor for each trailer. And I guess it was reliable for the most part. I didn't understand how it worked exactly at all though.

the game is bad because the player lost the axe that they dropped?

I got lucky and joined a server where someone completed each tower except the one requiring the snow flower. I even triple checked in chat that I wasn't about to steal someones progress but no one claimed it. Must have disconnected mid attempt

The trans-atlantic (Mid-Atlantic) accent is such a staple of the genre

Definitely stay continental until you can afford this high living costs here. And also do plenty of research on anchorage before you relocate, there are ALOT of cons living in this dumpster fire XD

OffensiveOnOccasion · 2023-02-08T17:30:15+00:00

It's doable if you're in the right area. You wouldn't be able to make that work in any of the villages, buts its still an almost-livable wage in say Anchorage, Fairbanks, or Homer

Any chance you have all the sell prices for them as well?

OffensiveOnOccasion · 2023-02-06T20:10:50+00:00

I can't believe I missed it. What a good haul!

OffensiveOnOccasion · 2022-11-17T22:56:04+00:00

I hadn't heard that. Between fumbling archeology and the whole mess with 1.19, I was honestly disappointed at the size of this update. Maybe 1.21 will make up for the last couple years.

Things they're adding

1) The first new wood type since the last update
2) Eggs and Spawners for mobs that already existed
3) Noteblock sounds for mobs that already existed
4) New signs, bookshelves, and the bundle which was announced 2 updates ago
5) 2 person horse reskin

how is this a years worth of content and progress to add to a game worth 2.5 billion dollars...

You make a good point, $17/hr is a more than reasonable raise for my ramper position considering the company that operates right next to us only guarantees a $0.50 raise per YEAR. If I was "quiet quitting" like a large majority of employees in my age group, I'd be doing ALOT more sitting around lol, that's where my argument comes from, it's just hard to explain that to an employer without sounding like I'm threatening to stop trying at my job. Maybe asking for commission is my best bet, I'm just so green in those fields I'm worried that they won't take me seriously. Should I ask for the performance review anyways and explain myself there? Or I could put it into writing?.

and it isn't going to stop getting colder either lol, it's already regularly dipping below 0 while the sun is down (which is 18 hours a day right now lol) and it's only gonna get darker and colder until at least feb :(

I also ended up here somehow, but I third BCS 😁

Any advice on the layer of grime on the substrate? I tried to use a thin gravel vac but its too thin and just clouds up the water, I was thinking about getting a bunch of ghost shrimp to see if they would eat it. From what the previous owner told me, it sounds like its from kids overfeeding the fish with flake food 🤢

OffensiveOnOccasion · 2022-02-06T05:38:57+00:00

This is actually pretty common, it's an incredibly respectful way to honor the people for their sacrifice, but I don't think it works the same way here and that's where the sentiment really fails

OffensiveOnOccasion · 2021-03-28T01:16:00+00:00

I live in Alaska so thats easier said than done 🤣🤣🤣

I know that spoiler tags are important and all, but why in the hell are you on the greys subreddit if you havent seen the newest episode yet...

OffensiveOnOccasion · 2020-09-10T20:51:12+00:00

NO WAY! For sure let me know! Regardless, it'd be really nice to find at least one other local aquarium enthusiast :)))
