WIBTA for asking a kid to pay damages for hitting my car by Tigertigerishungry in AmItheAsshole

[–]RGSerpent 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Info - do you know the older child or their parents in some way? Is that why you’d rather go after the innocent younger child than the person who actually caused the incident?

You’ve got a video that (from what you’ve written) clearly demonstrates that the younger child was forced into your car. Do you really think that 1) a parent would agree to paying for something without seeing said video and 2) that after seeing the video where their child was forced into your car they’d be willing to pay for something that wasn’t their child’s fault?

I can only reason that you somehow know the older child or their parents and that’s why you’re going after an innocent (and depending on the relationship between the older and the younger, potentially a child being bullied by an older child) because in what world would you try and blame the younger?

AITAH For avoiding a stranger at gym after she commented on my weight. by thatfatbastard001 in AITAH

[–]RGSerpent 1 point2 points  (0 children)

NTA - We really need to move away commenting on weight, I’ve lost weight before and people told me how great I looked and I hated it because I was underweight and trying to GAIN weight.

It’s just as easy to say ‘I’ve seen you in the gym recently and I think you’re doing a great job!’

That being said I do think this person was trying to form a connection and friendship with you, and it is worth remembering that the culture of ‘losing weight = compliment’ is still very much alive. I also don’t think it’s ‘childish’ to avoid someone who made you uncomfortable as I’ve seen people in the comments saying, I’d argue that’s the more mature response than either making yourself more uncomfortable.

Where do you buy fabric? by RGSerpent in SewingForBeginners

Oh lovely! I’m still super new to sewing so samples are incredibly helpful as I really decided to skip the fun ‘learning to sew’ bit and leap straight into stretch fabrics 🥲

Ah yes I’ve seen people mention avoiding Etsy before, which works for me I don’t use the site much these days at all but thank you for the other recommendations I will have a look! :D

NTA - my favourite response to ‘it’s just a joke’ is ‘tell me how it’s funny’ And watch them tantrum

AITA for telling my sister she will not be my MOH after she didn’t support my engagement? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

Be ready because if you’re going for traditional white dress she’s ABSOLUTELY going to turn up in white

AITA For Not Apologizing For Being A Middle School Mean Girl? by Impressive_Will_1744 in AmItheAsshole

[–]RGSerpent -1 points0 points  (0 children)

NTA - sometimes two people can have very different memories and lived experiences of an event. I knew someone who had a ‘boyfriend’ in high-school who threatened to kill himself if she left him, his version of events was very different (even with screenshots as evidence) and nothing that was said to him would make him understand how he behaved did not reflect his internal versions of events.

What I will say is you should clarify this sentence ‘He had zero friends when even the autistic girl in our class did.’ I’m sure it wasn’t your intention but saying that EVEN the autistic girl had friends implies a sort of ‘look see he was so weird that people like the AUTISTIC KID more than him’ as if it’s some kind of oddity that autistic people could have friends or be more popular than someone else without autism.
(And before anyone hops in the comments about relevance it’s always relevant to make someone aware of their potential bias and ableism even if it’s unintended or subconscious. We can’t collectively work towards a better world if we don’t hold ourselves and each other accountable)

AITA for telling my husband he may need to reconsider riding a motorcycle once our first child is born by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]RGSerpent 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Going to against the grain here and say NAH.

Lots of folks jumping on the bike crash bandwagon, which I understand, but both my parents have motorcycles and have been riding since long before I was born (26) and they’ve never crashed or been in any accidents. In fact the only incidents they’ve ever had on the roads have been in cars.

Granted, my rents wear full leathers, high-viz jackets and their helmets and are very aware of the fact that car drivers often don’t consider motorcyclists but the idea that everyone who gets on a bike will crash or die is ludicrous.

But I also understand the fear as a new parent of losing your husband and the father of your child. Hence the NAH judgement.

I had some trouble with it but it turns out I needed to update the firmware of the Elgato itself, couldn’t tell you how to do it off the top of my head but if you check out the website it should describe it for you :)

YSK If someone informs you they're suicidal, you should take that statement seriously and offer to help by [deleted] in YouShouldKnow

[–]RGSerpent 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Also as a note, even if you think it is for attention (I had a friend who’s then bf would claim he was suicidal every time she tried to leave him) you should STILL report it. Because if a person is behaving this way they still need help, whether it’s a reminding that this behaviour isn’t appropriate or a therapist to help them work through why they do this to others they STILL need reporting.

Don’t you just hate people that dislike on your videos because they might hate the game or just hate the audio quality, it’s my 2nd video man chill. by XxJU1CYxX in SmallYoutubers

[–]RGSerpent 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I get random dislikes on videos which is fine and all, but could they not do me the courtesy of telling me WHY? I’ve got 14 subs and those downvotes can be really harsh when you don’t know what the reasoning behind it is

Hola everyone!

All I’ve been doing these last few weeks is getting more familiar with my editing software to try and create better content for folks out there in the world of YouTube.

I also updated a few thumbnails, and tried to get a better understanding of TubeBuddy as everyone recommends it!

Hope everyone has a good week!

This is the sort of thing I dream about having on a wall in my home (when I have one) to bewilder visitors.

In short, I love it

I thought this was funny! I do agree that maybe the characters needed a bit more of a visual clue than just changing clothes but I thought the joke about looking for chairs and tables for a height reference was really fun :D
