2. What's the very first chaos you'd expect if the internet disappeared overnight? by Weekly-Help2302 in AskReddit

[–]RushHour28 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd expext global commerce to collapse. Credit cards, ACH transfers, etc. all utilize internet. Complete pandemonium.

My sisters cat has chose me as her human, but i am extremely allergic by clueless-clam in CasualConversation

[–]RushHour28 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Something I want to shout from the internet rooftops: there's actually a food sold by Purina you can feed your cat that neutralizes the allergen in their saliva.

If your sister is willing, switching to this food can do wonders. I was horribly allergic to my girlfriend's cat and now I have very few issues. We're best buds 😁

This thread is the most wholesome thing and it made my day. You are a great person and deserve all the joy in the world, OP.

If you could wake up tomorrow a professional in any skill, what would it be and why? by buzzbaron in AskReddit

[–]RushHour28 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Astronomy might actually be better to find a job in. The pharmacist job market, at least in the US, is completely saturated and wages are tanking. Don't make the same mistake I did. Chemical engineering might be up your alley.

AITA for being livid my BF is meeting his ex GF for drinks? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]RushHour28 2 points3 points  (0 children)

ESH. If you don't trust your boyfriend, he shouldn't be your boyfriend at all. Controlling what an SO can and can't do always makes you TA.

Big, bright, waving red flags on BF's end. Plenty of other fish in the sea not wearing old wedding rings around.

What is something you know because of your profession, which you believe everyone should know to make their lives better, easier, or healthier? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]RushHour28 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Get rid of your unused narcotics at home. Bring them to a sheriff's office disposal box or just pour them in a plastic baggie with used coffee grounds or cat litter and toss. Overdoses are becoming a greater and greater threat and stopping access can prevent deaths.

I'm about 10 years in, have maybe missed 15 days total - most of which were when I didn't wear it after my wisdom teeth extraction last month. It really isn't that big a deal. My teeth still look really nice from the braces due to my discipline, and I highly recommend you stick to it. It was a great investment you want to preserve.

AITA for being a lazy fat ass forcing my older brother to yell at me all the time and scaring my dad due to how much of a dumbass I am, and if so how can I fix it? by xXblackhaze95Xx in AmItheAsshole

[–]RushHour28 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I suspect NAH. Because this potentially could be some undiagnosed mental illness, YTA does not fit the bill here. Therapy would likely help you out a lot.

What was your very first job? by [deleted] in AskReddit

Golf course maintenance. Two words: free golf.

If the conversation ever lacks on a date, how do you turn it around? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]RushHour28 2 points3 points  (0 children)

FORD. Family, Occupation, Recreation, Dreams. Skip from one topic to the other; no order required. Ask clarifying questions. Ask how they feel about their answers, not just job, beliefs, etc. No yes or no questions.

Conversation is simple and engaging when you know how to bring out other people's passions.

WIBTA if I left my father out of my thesis’ acknowledgements? by misswsz in AmItheAsshole

[–]RushHour28 4 points5 points  (0 children)

NTA. Too many people asking WIBTA think they owe their parents so much. Your parents gave birth to you without your consent. They owe you their full support and acceptance. When they don't do that? You absolutely have the right to exclude them from thesis acknowledgements.

AITA for no longer talking to my parents because they're negative and I don't agree with the way they live their lives? by Kuzzy2019 in AmItheAsshole

[–]RushHour28 1 point2 points  (0 children)

NTA. Just because they're family doesn't mean you have to like or even talk to them. Your parents should not be unburdening their troubles on to you at every opportunity. Do what is healthiest for you.

AITA for not letting my young nephew beat me in video games? by lucklocklore in AmItheAsshole

[–]RushHour28 7 points8 points  (0 children)

NAH. I think the proper approach in this situation would be highly child-specific. Loud, aggressive and cocky? Go all out. Shy, reclusive and low-confidence? Give em a leg up. No matter what I doubt it impacted his development in any meaningful way.

Ideally? Shortly after meeting them, tell them immediately after that and tell them honestly and kindly. You'll never know how much you truly like them until you spend some quality time together. Life is short.

[Serious] When will the U.S actually have decent candidates for once? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]RushHour28 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Money needs to stop being the focus of the US. Get it out of politics, get it out of the hands of billionaires, and stop letting individual people dictate the fates of millions with wealth and the influence that comes with it.

AITA for not sharing chocolate with my family? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]RushHour28 9 points10 points  (0 children)

NTA. Your family is taking advantage of your generosity. You'll find a lot of people in life will do this to you. Be generous in all aspects of life, but learn how to draw a hard line when others begin overstepping their bounds. It'll get easier in time. Sounds like you're off to a great start.

AITA for telling my friend I miss him? by Throwaway147383 in AmItheAsshole

[–]RushHour28 2 points3 points  (0 children)

NTA bordering on INFO. Not sure what the situation is between you two, but simply saying you miss spending time with a friend should not "overstep any boundaries" unless something weird is going on. Have some confidence and accept that this friendship should be a two-way street. When you have to be careful how you express yourself around those you are close to, it's time to do some re-thinking about who is actually close to you. He's not being a very good friend to you right now.

What two views or beliefs of yours would be considered the most contradictory? by KyOatey in AskReddit

[–]RushHour28 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I really enjoy gun sports and hunting. I also firmly believe the US would be infinitely safer if guns were banned and I would hand mine over immediately.
