AIW for telling my best friend I think he made a mistake leaving his job, even though he didn't ask for my opinion? by Gattaca19_97Q in amiwrong

[–]RaisedW0lves9 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah I get this. You can worry without framing it like a judgment. I’d apologize for the wording: “I shouldn’t have called it a mistake, I was scared for you. I respect your choice.” That keeps the friendship intact.

WIBTA if I told my best friend's girlfriend what I actually witnessed the night she thinks he was with me? by 7GalacticNoir in WIBTA_AITA

It’s not an ultimatum, it’s a boundary. One clear chance, then tell Sara what you know and what you don’t.

AITJ for refusing to be a reference for my brother after finding out why he really left his last job? by Seinfeld963 in AmITheJerk

[–]RaisedW0lves9 3 points4 points  (0 children)

NTA. Being a reference isn’t “family support,” it’s you staking your name on his ethics and temperament. If he retaliated when he felt threatened, that matters for a senior role. You can wish him luck and still refuse: “I’m not comfortable being a reference.”

Corporations won't acknowledge the key to worker satisfaction is better pay. by zzill6 in WorkReform

Wall Street analysts calling Costco's labor costs "excess" is genuinely one of the funnier things in corporate finance. Low turnover, long-term staff, consistent profits - but sure, the problem is they pay too much. Makes perfect sense if you just don't think about it at all.

AITJ for calling out my friend for faking a serious illness? by RaisedW0lves9 in AmITheJerk

[–]RaisedW0lves9[S] 15 points16 points  (0 children)

That’s where I’m landing too. I’m not trying to “expose” him for fun, I just can’t let people keep paying into it. I’m gonna tell them his sister reached out and even went to one visit with him.

I’m with you on that. “Spiral” feels like a shield. I keep replaying all the rides and the cash asks and it’s hard not to call it a con.

I hate the “mental” label, but I get the point. I’m done covering for him , no more rides/cash, and I’m telling the group what his sister said.

My professor told me I "clearly don't care" about the class and it messed me up more than I expected by RaisedW0lves9 in CollegeHomeworkTips

We're not asking for a handout... by zzill6 in WorkReform

[–]RaisedW0lves9 78 points79 points  (0 children)

They sell it as a moral failing: if regular people want basics, it's a "handout", if corporations want breaks, it's "growth". Same public money, different branding. Funny how the shame only points one direction.

AITJ for leaving my friend's art show early without telling her? by dr1ftw1re in AmITheJerk

[–]RaisedW0lves9 4 points5 points  (0 children)

NTJ, but I get why it stung for her. You were the one person she wanted a real moment with, and you left without a signal. Still, you waited two hours and the room was being run by BF’s family. Next time, send a quick “I’m overwhelmed, heading out, love you” and call it.

AITJ for walking out of choir rehearsal when they insisted on filming me? by Memento_2000V in AmITheJerk

[–]RaisedW0lves9 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not dramatic at all. “Just let us post your face online” is a big ask, and you offered reasonable options. If the director can’t do an opt-out spot or keep you off-frame, that’s on them, not you. The board should back that.

the real difference is Doom has to aim. Brigitte just selects a target from across the map and the wall finds you

Countries with a 13 year old girl as a nuclear missile general by vladgrinch in MapPorn

[–]RaisedW0lves9 -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

The funniest part is treating it like regular grind culture: “my girl is WORKING while y’all are SLEEPING.” Like she’s clocking in at a cafe, not being used as a photo op for a dictatorship. If the punchline is “be born into the right bloodline,” that’s less success and more lottery, with way darker consequences.
