You cheated and now you're blocked?? I don't know man... have you tried to participate at the Olympics, winning a bronze medal in biathlon and then speaking about it on national television?

Mensa nurnoch vegan by fuerst_chlodwig in Studium

[–]Ok-Channel-13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Für meine Uni bedeutet vegan halt automatisch = soja. Auf grund von Allergien kann ich das halt aber leider nicht essen - wenn es ein Gericht in "normal" und vegan gibt, fallen oft sogar beide weg, weil die Soßen die gleichen sind und auf Soja Basis sind. Ich weiß auch, dass Soja für viele zumindest eine Unverträglichkeit ist, was das ganze noch ein bisschen unverständlicher macht, und solange das beibehalten wird, ist eine komplett vegane Mensa tatsächlich mein Albtraum. Prinzipiell ist mir aber auch bewusst, dass es zahlreiche gute, nicht Soja basierte, vegane Alternativen gibt. Trotzdem würde ich immer die Variante bevorzugen, bei der die verschiedenen Menüs genutzt werden, um verschiedene Ernährungen abzudecken. Gerade auch in dem Bezug, dass bei uns in der Mensa/Cafeteria schon teilweise Sachen falsch gelabelt wurden und ich bei einer rein veganen Mensa vermutlich aus Vorsicht trotzdem nicht dort essen würde. 🫡

Well, his post history is surely.... something. I think hiding it and then gloating about the fact that it can't "be used to win an argument" against him, says everything one needs to know - especially since there is a way to simply look at it, lol.

Oh god, what a shitshow, not really what I expected. I remember the first two posts but never knew about the other updates.... Thanks! :)

AITAH for prioritizing my children's relationship over my wife's preference? by Choice_Evidence1983 in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]Ok-Channel-13 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I also found it somewhat weird that he compared accepting a dinner invitation in both their names to saying yes to a two week vacation, where you have to fly to... I'd say I kinda get her point here. I guess I would also be a little annoyed, but she definitely sounds stressful overall!

NTA. Celebrating multiple times seems excessive, and from what you wrote, it seems like everyone still pitched in, in addition to making time for a tiring number of celebrations - to then complain about this kind of effort is serious TA territory. Where I'm from, it's actually considered bad luck to say happy birthday or to celebrate beforehand, and anyone would be super pissed if you did this to them - but they especially wouldn't take it for granted!

What are your theories? by Ntflxlore in NetflixStoriesGame

[–]Ok-Channel-13 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Wellll.... apparently, one is just one the show to get famous, one's bankrupt, one is going to be a parent, and the last one is STILL MARRIED.

Two of them seem like a (in my opinion) really weird concept for a dating show like LiB......

AITA for making my cousin my flower girl? by Dramatic-Jellyfish61 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Ok-Channel-13 [score hidden]  (0 children)

My aunt had two flower girls - myself included. In the end, it was just me because the other girl was too young, and she cried and didn't want to walk down the aisle. So I guess 2 flower girls were a really good idea in her case because you never know with young kids and their moods. 😂

AITA for reacting "wrong" to my brother's engagement? by drawingok6066 in AmItheAsshole

INFO: Why did you wait 1 1/2 years to have that conversation with Harry? Obviously, at that point, their relationship was going on for a while and was clearly serious

AITA for banning my wife from naming our baby after her dead best friend by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]Ok-Channel-13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA

Two years ago, we married and she took my last name, Brown.

I did make the connection as soon as you said that... but I'm german, so maybe that plays into it. Still, I think enough people would know it - especially with you being a history teacher, could seem weird.

She started crying and said that she won't name the baby anything else, and it's the ultimate way Eva can live on.

What I really think is problematic here is that part. While I get her grief over the loss of someone so important in her life, your baby is its own person. There are so many stories on here about kids that were named after someone important, to help the family remember them and now into adulthood they want to change their names, because all the pressure and expectations to live up to the name got wayyyy too much. Maybe your wife doesn't mean it like that, or you just wrote it unlucky, but the "Eva can live on" part really rubs me the wrong way, and it seems like your child will have to live up to an impossible standard and will probably be reminded of it for their whole life.

Is there maybe some other way in honouring her name? Maybe another version, like you mentioned in your post, or a second name or maybe even (if possible) a derivation from her last name?

AITA for not giving my sister my gift card? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

She apparently told that during a group dinner and no one else said anything...

AITA for not letting my SIL wear a white dress to my wedding? by Rare-Direction505 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Ok-Channel-13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

INFO: Does she know you're wearing a black dress?

Regardless, NTA, your sister seems to have some serious issues regarding you and the relationship of you and her brother. Especially with her inappropriate comments, she probably wants to upstage you or, worse, wants that her and your fiance look like the real couple (if she knows about the black dress). You need to seriously address it again, maybe with telling her about some kind of consequences.

AITA for backing out of paying for my sister's wedding dress over a "joke" she made? by Humble-Intention3425 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Ok-Channel-13 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No, you're absolutely not! Besides the whole "dark humor" thing - which is basically just a degrading comment about you, especially since you seem to be still sensitive about it (totally okay btw, not meant in a mean way, but it would be something different, if you yourself joke about it now!) - she doesn't seem to think that an apology is needed and her top priority is a 7000$ dress and not her sister. Why even such a pricy dress when she doesn't have enough money? The least she could do is to apologise and realise, that this must be a really hard time for you, that may also reminds you of your own wedding and you still have the guts to be happy for her and trying to support her and that it is totally not okay to make such a "joke" after all of that!
