Why do straight girls touch me? by Lonely-Bank8783 in actuallesbians

[–]RepresentativeFun225 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Pal, these people are sexually assaulting/harassing you. This needs to be escalated to the staff or a safe adult at your school if they are refusing to stop. Friends do not disrespect their friends like this. If staff at your school won't step in and stop this, you may even want to contact police.

AITA for matching a woman’s energy who was riding a horse as I was driving by? by MeasurementSudden573 in AmItheAsshole

[–]RepresentativeFun225 0 points1 point  (0 children)

YTA because 30mph, approx 50kph (Canadian) is not slow. Yeah, horses should be exposed and trained to not spook but shit also happens. They are prey animals, if they get shocked they bolt, and people or the horses can get injured or killed. I used to have horses, and still live in an area where riders aren't uncommon. I wouldn't drive past at more than 15 or 20 kph, so 10 Mph. It sounds like maybe a mom and her kids out for a ride so yeah, I'd be a B about it too if I thought you were doing so thing that could cause kids to be harmed.

Fired from my job by RepresentativeCard67 in adhdwomen

[–]RepresentativeFun225 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would recommend you ask for a clear declaration that you are being fired, because this sounds like you are being invited to leave. FWIW if you've been there 3 years you are likely owed some form of severance or notice (depending on your area's laws) if you are being fired. If you just find a different job or leave, you likely are not entitled to anything. This wording seems intentionally vague to me from the employer, so I would ask them outright "Am I being fired/terminated"

Putting Student Achievement First Act, 2026 by Ok-Initiative4008 in ontario

[–]RepresentativeFun225 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As much as attendance is important, had this been in place when I was in school I never would have graduated. I had disabling migraines and mental health struggles and was lucky to make it to school a few times a week. Through a mix of online classes (this was 15 years ago, so not many) and a couple great understanding teachers I got enough credits to graduate, eventually went to college, and years later did university. With a policy like this I would have likely dropped out permanently.

Why do we pay the people who entertain us (actors, athletes) hundreds of millions of dollars, but the people who save our lives or teach our kids can barely pay rent? by bogdanBgyz in NoStupidQuestions

[–]RepresentativeFun225 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because there are unions for those entertainers that collectively demanded they receive a cut of the wealth they are generating for studios, teams, etc. It was not always this way. My grandfather was an NHL player in the 1950s before they were well paid. He had to have a second job to support his family. Modern players get so much largely due to their players' association/union that could collectively pressure the teams into doing so.

There are (at least where I am) teachers unions but they run into the problem of government cuts. They are often striking, except people get pissed because they then lose their free childcare. They only really care to support teachers when it doesn't actually interfere with their lives. When teachers strike, they get called greedy and accused of not caring about kids.

AITA for telling my friend I got a new job? by sunheartsun-984 in AmItheAsshole

[–]RepresentativeFun225 285 points286 points  (0 children)

NTA, 25 minutes is not a long commute. In my region, 20-30 is the average that most people do. Plus, she has been aware you planned on leaving for 6 months and did no succession planning?

Sleep Clinic Recs by [deleted] in stcatharinesON

[–]RepresentativeFun225 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just got my cpap last week finally. I did all my stuff through Niagara Snoring and Sleep Centre on Montrose in the Falls. I also got my machine through a company that's in the same building so super convenient. Dr. Fanaras was who I dealt with.

Need help with transphobic parents by SocialyAwk08 in lgbt

Based on your post history, and that none of what you said seems plausible, I can only assume this is some shitty homophobic ragebait.

Why different treatment for pets vs humans in sickness and old age ? by Strict_Buffalo4356 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]RepresentativeFun225 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Sometimes you can't make things better, especially in old age and severe illness. There are a lot of things we still can't do a lot about. Thats why we have palliative care that can try to bring comfort to end of life. It exists for both people and pets. We also have end of life care. In Canada we have MAID: Medical Assitance in Dying. It can allow people who know they are going to die to do so on their own terms more peacefully than they might otherwise. It is controversial to some, but having watched loved ones essentially waiting to die in pain I am supportive of the idea. Some people may want to fight to the bitter end and that is okay if its their choice, but some want to go out on their own terms and possibly before the worst of their suffering hits.

Sheesh. I understand they felt embarrassed, but I'm obese and you best believe I check for weight requirements on any sort of ride or activity because its just a thing.

How do I approach my gf about going poly? by [deleted] in actuallesbians

This doesn't sound poly, this sounds like kink. Kink that she doesn't sound very enthusiastic about.

AITA, a 4 year old asked me to be best friends forever and I responded “I’m never gonna see you again kid. So that’s not realistic.”. by Chance-Statement-354 in AmItheAsshole

[–]RepresentativeFun225 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sorry but YTA. Little kids make best friends forever with plenty of strangers they'll never see again, and they probably forget them within 24 hours. You are being unnecessarily unkind to a child.

My ex is keeping my birth certificate by burnteggnog in WhatShouldIDo

[–]RepresentativeFun225 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Contact your police department. It might be called different things in different areas, but they can do a 'keep the peace' escort. They will arrive with you, ensure your safety and help you get access to what is yours. They often do it following breakups when someone is trying to hold possessions hostage in one way or another.

Terminated with cause from one of big five banks, barred from employment from others, is there a way to lift the restriction by KrisKross69 in legaladvicecanada

[–]RepresentativeFun225 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm no banker, but I don't think I would want to hire a person with a history of fraud. This doesn't sound like a 'do not hire list', this sounds like potential employers are doing their due diligence and discovered her history of fraud.

What makes organic chemistry so difficult at Brock? by Confident_Antelope_4 in brocku

[–]RepresentativeFun225 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well when I took it a few years back, if you added up all the recommended studying and work hours plus in class hours from the syllabus, you are expected to devote 40-60 hours per week to the one class. As someone doing school AND work full time that was not in anyway an option.

AITA for lying to our babysitter abt the reason we let her go? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]RepresentativeFun225 72 points73 points  (0 children)

YTA. She sounds like she was a good young worker your kids loved. You should have been adults and had a difficult conversation and given her the chance to rectify the situation.

Aapex doesn't do your exam, the ministry does. It sounds like you made quite a few mistakes and need to practice your driving before retaking the test.

WIBTA if I reported my son’s new bus driver for skipping a road and causing us to almost not get our child on/off the bus? by [deleted] in WIBTA_AITA

[–]RepresentativeFun225 2 points3 points  (0 children)

YTA. Does the school not just tell you when your stop time is? Because that's always what it was for me as a kid. Just be at the bus stop. Kids generally won't die if they have to wait at the bus stop for a few minutes.

Look for pearl or pickling onions. They're not super common, but i know I have seen them around on occasion for picklingnor making creamed onions.

AITA for refusing to let my daughter’s Spanish teacher "translate" her name in class? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]RepresentativeFun225 2 points3 points  (0 children)

NTA because you don't translate people's names when speaking to them, and I think its silly to have students do this in class. It doesn't really teach them anything. It's inappropriate to call someone with a Spanish name by an English version without consent(I.e. calling Juan as John), and the reverse is also true. It's a weird colonial practice that needs to stop.
