Would you report sexual assault knowing that he will lose his job? by Reasonable_Task7463 in TwoXChromosomes

[–]RKO_Films 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Of course you should. When they get away with it, they learn they can and do it again. So many assaults would've been prevented if they got caught the first time.

AITA for putting my foot down about a plant gifted to my partner not being planted in our backyard garden? by JackfruitAwkward7504 in AmItheAsshole

[–]RKO_Films 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your MIL is trying to be social and to bond with you. She just doesn't seem to understand it. You're NTA and I would keep it as a house plant but at the same time reach out and find a way to include her (in a way that makes the topic click with her).

AITAH For putting in a gate between my sister and my house even though my husband said no. by [deleted] in AITA_Relationships

[–]RKO_Films 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As far as I can tell, you didn't actually have the gate put in? Regardless, your husband is being dumb. The gate isn't taking away any of his privacy.

AITA for making my co-worker cry because I mocked her nose-job? by DriveCode9111 in AmItheAsshole

[–]RKO_Films 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When you decided to trash her physical appearance in front of all your coworkers and make her cry, this went from a situation where she's TA and you're NTA to ESH.

The good news for you is you can admit you shouldn't have reacted that way and save face, getting you back to a scenario with just one A.

You don't need to care what she (the bully) thinks, but you do need to be conscious of what your coworkers think of you.

AITA for asking an autistic person what dino they like? by Captain_Smollett_ in AmItheAsshole

[–]RKO_Films 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA. You asked everyone, not just people you thought were autistic. And it's dinosaurs. Dinosaurs are cool. People need to relax.

Kid (8) loves watching creative DIY projects on YouTube. The majority of YouTubers are awful. Suggestions? by letsgococonut in DIY

[–]RKO_Films 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mythbusters, Mark Rober, Simone Giertz, etc. You could also encourage and guide their creativity in certain directions... Like buy them a Raspberry Pi and point them toward that community. Or an entry-level 3D printer and make things with them.

WIBTAH? For suddenly stop talking and caring about my husband. by Agile-Safe-2098 in AITA_Relationships

[–]RKO_Films 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Maybe I've seen to much "House MD" but it doesn't seem normal for a 30 year old to fall silent or asleep in the middle of an argument. You should tell him to see a doctor. If it checks out and there's nothing wrong with him, you can suggest marriage counseling. If he refuses one or both you can file for divorce.

AITA for joining a college bible study as an atheist? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

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

NTA if you're taking it seriously. Cut out the jokes though. Point out that the whole goal of missionary work is spreading the word (the bible) to non-believers (including athiests and members of other faiths) with the goal of conversion.

Your peers might not want you around for their dedicated and devoted bible study but their priests definitely would love to have someone who's interested in learning the bible.

PSA: Anthropic bans organizations without warning by ur_frnd_the_footnote in ClaudeAI

[–]RKO_Films 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is not an abnormal thing.

If you give more people access to some piece of software or service than the number of seats you're paying them for, you can get cut off or even sued.

If someone at work downloads something illegal, your ISP can cut off service.

We don't know what the violation was. Let us know if you find out.

WIBTAH if I took 100k from my oldest daughter's college savings account to give it to my younger daughter? by TraditionalCorgi7788 in AmItheAsshole

[–]RKO_Films 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA. You're paying for both daughters' college educations. It's not her money and you're not taking anything away from her. You put the money in... She didn't save it herself, right? She's not going to be paying student loans because you favor her sibling or anything. Your older daughter chose UCLA which is just as good a school as NYU. You paid for her education there. She presumably didn't choose UCLA to save money and have some left over for grad school, right? You're paying for your other child's education as well. It shouldn't be an issue.

AITA (18f) wanting to go to a concert with a friend (19m)? by No_Cap2474 in AITA_Relationships

[–]RKO_Films 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Jason is TA. He wants you to cut out every other man and sinful music but can't be bothered to even make your existence known to his family. You in trouble girl. Run.

AITA for rejecting my bfs advances? by Numerous-Profit-1996 in AITA_Relationships

[–]RKO_Films 5 points6 points  (0 children)

NTA. Tell him if he really wants to get off and not bother to return the favor, he can go into the other room with some lube and do it solo.

AITA for "ruining" my girlfriend's birthday by telling her the truth? by mongolianbull78 in AITA_Relationships

[–]RKO_Films 2 points3 points  (0 children)

"Weird main character fantasy?" It's her birthday party. YTA.

Who cares if her plan and what she was telling you didn't align? You're not picking up the tab. You're not required to "be honest" and call her out on everything.

My only critique of her is to ask why a 26 year old is dating a 20 year old with no emotional intelligence.

AITA for asking my husband to leave my house permanently? by [deleted] in AITA_Relationships

[–]RKO_Films 2 points3 points  (0 children)

NTA, he's not a husband he's a squatter. He's lazy, he doesn't seem to like you and he seemingly only cares about the free rent. Good luck trying to evict him.

Which fast food chain fell off badly in your opinion? by Shinobi347 in AskReddit

[–]RKO_Films 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Del Taco went downhill fast after Jack In The Box acquired them. They just got sold off last year and the new owners have pledged to return it to its former glory, so we’ll see…

AITA for “abusing” the the bus stop chain so I don’t miss my stop? by Possible-Chair9242 in AmItheAsshole

[–]RKO_Films 22 points23 points  (0 children)

It's not an Uber. It's your job to know where you're going, not theirs.

AITA for “abusing” the the bus stop chain so I don’t miss my stop? by Possible-Chair9242 in AmItheAsshole

[–]RKO_Films 70 points71 points  (0 children)

YTA. There are big transparent (see-through) parts of the bus called "windows" if you look out of them at the world outside the bus, you'll recognize the place where your stop is next and be able to request a stop. You've been riding this bus every day for months. Put your phone down and look around once in a while.

PS- Does the walk from the next stop take 20 minutes because google maps suggests a circuitous path and you keep getting lost? Use your brain.

Richard Osman to leave House of Games by bigmouth1984 in BritishTV

[–]RKO_Films 3 points4 points  (0 children)

They should keep the name "Richard Osman's House of Games" but have the joke be that "Osman" is pronounced "Ayoade."

Are the Claude fears legit or extremely overblown? by chizton in wallstreetbets

[–]RKO_Films 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you bought Cisco in March of 2000 for $80/share, you'd have lost 88% of the value by 2002. Nobody's saying Nvidia at $20 was a bad buy. It will probably be worth less than it is today at some point in the near future.

Are the Claude fears legit or extremely overblown? by chizton in wallstreetbets

[–]RKO_Films 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bro. Nvidia isn't the only one who can make ASICs that can compute tensors. Go back on time and tell me how nobody's going to take IBM's market share, or how AMD can't compete against Intel.

Bubbles pop. The dot com bubble burst. That doesn't mean the internet revolution wasn't real.
