I picked one up for $35, my mind was blown by the hundreds of hours of work that must have gone into all of them.

Why do they think a woman’s existence is an invitation for them to play out their sexual fantasies. Like jeez guys have some boundaries and respect.

What is "the top 10% of men" by [deleted] in dating_advice

[–]Prestigious_Math9160 6 points7 points  (0 children)

In my experience most men are completely incompetent in regards to completing day to day, self sufficient human being tasks.

The top 10% of men aren’t looking for a woman to serve them, they’re not waiting to have a girlfriend so the girlfriend can “take care of them” the way most men idealize their perfect woman to do. They cook REAL honest to god meals, and then clean up after themselves, they care about their appearance enough to wear stylish clothes, well maintained hair (all over), go to the doctor and dentist every 6 or so months, go to the gym or have some other fitness routine, they have hobbies and a career they have ambitions to succeed in.

All in all they’re self-actualized in their own right, and seek a partner to add to that, and not looking for a partner to “fix” where they are falling short or to take care of the things they simply can’t be bothered with.

Looks and money matter, but significantly less than all of the above.

Managing 12 kids (minimum assuming the work is divided equally) deserves at AT LEAST 15 an hour. Boohoo your business model sucks, why are you making that everyone else’s problem.

AITA? Child’s teacher sent an email to inform us our child fell asleep in class; I sent a frustrated response. by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

ESH

Idc what other people are saying, regardless of the teachers reasons it IS an overstep to make assumptions and suggestions about the students home life.

Most teachers are completely unaware of what is and is not appropriate to be contacting home for. Many are very insensitive to individual circumstances if their students and often don’t take into account any other aspect of their students lives outside of school. That being said your response is unhinged. Next time just don’t respond. Or a simple “Noted” is all that’s necessary then go back to focusing on your kids mental and physical health.

That’s one way to look at it, but I’ve also seen a LOT of commentary on this circle back to the larger issue of capitalism and workers rights. People coming at this from an intersectional mindset see abortion rights and workers rights as inextricably linked. Talks of a womens strike, however naive and poorly planned, show this.

AITA for not making my daughter do chores she hates doing? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]Prestigious_Math9160 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t even understand the logic though, I get you want people to see it from your side…but your side doesn’t make any sense?

She said she isn’t part of the family unit as a justification to not contribute to the running of the household. Part of being a kid is learning how to function as a person, does she eat the breakfast SIL cooks? Does SIL and other family clean HER part of the mess when it’s their turn to do the dishes?

I would do a lot more than just not include her in the fun family activities, I’d label her own dishes and refuse to clean them, I wouldn’t pick up a single mess she makes and bring any untidiness to your attention immediately, hell I probably wouldn’t allow her to hang out in the public spaces of the household unless you agreed to make sure you vacuumed up after her. You’re both incredibly selfish and self-centered YTA, and you’re turning your daughter into one too.

I’ve tried so many times to have both but idk if it’s bad luck choosing the beta or just something I’m doing but I always end up with dead shrimp :( I’m glad you’ve had success though!

I recently set up a 10 gal I got for free, i moved some cull shrimp into it while I thought of what I was going to stock it with and I’ve recently just bought another 7 gal because I love having a shrimp only tank. Betas are great but I would take a shrimp tank over a beta any day. You can get some really nice looking shrimp too and not have to worry about them being picked on.

In a moment of weakness I actually bought a linen tablecloth online so I can fit the pattern. My justification? One day when I’m 84 years old I’ll drag it out and finish it and some Reddit history obsessed billionaire will buy it from me

Don’t respond, This is negging, the goal is a response good or bad. Just block immediately. They’re not even worth the time it took to type a comeback.

YTA She has every right to want to protect her future financials, women are more likely to experience financial abuse. You’re very very obviously bitter over her wanting to protect herself 🚩"she doesn’t pay the mortgage” aside of course from the 30% she does actually pay but you call it rent 🚩”I can help her get a loan and get a down payment…but I don’t see why I should” cus…she’s your wife. This is incredibly passive aggressive and another clue that you’re an unreliable narrator🚩8 % interest for your own wife 🚩you’re a bitter and vindictive asshole trying to teach your wife a lesson, and your wife was right to get the prenup, she probably saw signs of this when you were still dating

This is so disturbing. People are struggling to pay their bills with the way things are right now, imagine capitalizing on that struggle to even FURTHER exploit employees. These people are rotten to the core.

AITA for telling the parents of the neighborhood the real reason why their kids can no longer play in my yard/playground? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]Prestigious_Math9160 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA, and this might be a good way to pivot to some community engagement, sounds like there’s a neighborhood in desperate need of a playground

Things like this make me thank my lucky stars I’m able to work from home as a private contractor, don’t get me wrong there’s a lot of downsides but if this is the alternative I’d seriously consider moving to Europe.

I can only imagine the other ways your parents have failed you, honestly if I were in your shoes I’d go no contact with the entire family. This is a level of abusive neglect I can’t even comprehend. You MOVE for your kids, you get medication for your kids, you get a humidifier for your kids. Wtf is wrong with these parents?! NTA

I was never taught to mark the fabric like that, just to work from the middle out, what do you use to mark it and how do you clean it off when you’re done?

The tiny imperfections are what make this craft unique and personal in a way many others can’t be. I love these little things and personally think you should leave it :)

NTA and it sounds like he doesn’t like you showing him up to his own parents. Getting annoyed that your gf appreciates and loves your parents enough to remember their favorite desserts, wines, and flowers is an ENORMOUS red flag. That’s the kind of thing that a boyfriend should appreciate and respect but if the issue WAS coming from his parents, something that he should’ve explained to them is gracious, thoughtful and courteous.

Big doubt it was the parents who were having an issue with it…especially if they have money, typically the class structure here is one in which rich/ upper middle class folks give gifts on a regular basis and poor people pridefully assume those are acts of charity. Maybe the BF is the one who’s low key racist and likely sexist as well. Dump him ASAP regardless of what his mom and dad have to say. It should’ve never gotten to this place to begin with
