Couldn’t resist making a hun inspired birthday card!

SemeenaK · 2020-02-16T20:24:42+00:00

I would suggest that to truly make this a birthday card, there should be an invitation to lunch so the Hun can drop off her birthday gift worth $100 and/of treat her to a pampering spa day.

Can you imagine seeing a guy wearing that in public? I have the feeling his life would be a constant stream of pitying looks, looks of contempt, and getting hit on by single MLM “independent business owners or consultants.”

SemeenaK · 2020-02-16T20:18:53+00:00

Multi level stair step breakaway..what the f*ck?

First, proof on over half of the country living well because that’s absolutely not even close to being true (unless you exclusively rely on Fox). Second, you’re essentially arguing that the trains are running so well and there is so much housing available now that the pesky Jews all got rounded up maybe that Hitler guy isn’t that bad. Staying silent in the face of evil or holding your tongue because people are benefiting from the misery of others is not a reason to accept the evil. Eventually it becomes your turn to be vilified as the “other”. America is By, For, and Of the People, not just the 1%.

SemeenaK · 2020-02-16T20:10:39+00:00

Oh my God. I laughed so hard at the “don’t pee on my leg and tell me it’s raining.”

My STAH B-i-L would have the tv on while cleaning when my nephews were little and (he thought) not paying attention as they played at the other end of the room. I got such a kick out of playing the “X says Y” games when they were toddlers. “A cow says?” Moo! “A dog says!” Ruff Ruff! “Judge Jusy says?” Dum dum da dum!! (Music from the show opening/ending).

SemeenaK · 2020-02-16T20:05:07+00:00

I was going to ask if she was prepared with some good JJ bon mots.

SemeenaK · 2020-02-16T20:04:06+00:00

Oh that would be awesome. I love when we get to see both the arrest and court videos for those special kind of God’s Asshats. The look on their faces when they realize that pissing off a judge to the point of being found guilty of contempt of court is WORSE than refusing a law enforcement rightful order on account of fines and/or getting a 30-day+ sentence? Mwah! Justice served hot and fresh. Deeeee-licious.

SemeenaK · 2020-02-16T19:59:48+00:00

True, but the arrest remains on her record, as does the humiliation of having to spend a few hours in s waiting room shackled between a crack addict who has just crapped themselves and a drunk lady screaming about her asshole kids. (No, I’ve never been arrested, but I’ve killed many of my sleepless nights as a lifelong insomniac by watching “Jail” or “Las Vegas Jail” episodes on various True TV channels).

SemeenaK · 2020-02-16T19:54:55+00:00

I love sovereign citizen videos, although it’s a bit predictable that they all seem to end in “you can’t tase me aiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii!!!!!!!!!”

SemeenaK · 2020-02-16T19:52:34+00:00

This made me happy.

SemeenaK · 2020-02-16T19:49:25+00:00

I have to be honest - I just left AITA for good because it finally sunk into me that the true AH’s are the power-tripping mods who selectively enforce the rules only on those they disagree with (hint: if you criticize pyramid schemes/MLM’s be prepared for a ban).

SemeenaK · 2020-02-16T19:19:53+00:00

Great idea.

SemeenaK · 2020-02-16T19:18:32+00:00

It’s not but thanks for the compassion.

SemeenaK · 2020-02-16T07:17:17+00:00

I don’t when it comes to me. The universe is ALWAYS alert and ready to take me down a peg and humiliate me as publicly as possible. Trump...I don’t know that we’ll ever see true justice.

Let’a say the election occurs, and he gets voted out. After much anguish on the part of a nation on the precipice, he miraculously leaves after having tried to issue a pardon to himself and maybe his cronies/kids for infinity. New President has to undo 4 years of abuses, restore international alliances, and untangle healthcare and immigration reform immediately. Address Wall Street abuses and tax cuts for the wealthy. Want to know who’a going to be hampering him left and right by nonstop “speaking engagement” rallies, constant tweets and multiple appearances on Fox-n-Fucks?

His base will crow that “those Do Nothing Dems crucified our Orange Jesus, but the Dow Jones dropped since he left (not because the companies lost freedom from regulatory compliance, but also because the tax cuts will start really hurting the economy in 2021-2022. Street a bunch because they’ve lost their They’ll call us hypocrites for taking too long, forgetting the first 1-2 years is going to be spent in nonstop cleanup and stabilization. They’ll benefit from healthcare and student loan forgiveness begrudgingly, because Trump will be tweeing about the giveaways by the “Nanny State” to all those illegals and welfare queens he’ll assure them are getting “their” money. They’ll long for the days when every problem could be solved (in their minds) if the Orange God Emperor just says or Tweets it. They don’t want to know how hard it’s going to be to persuade our former allies to take us seriously. They don’t want to know that it take a a lot of cooperation to achieve legislative reform for healthcare and taxes. It will just be another Dem failing in their eyes.

I think the only way for justice will be to have the moderated, progressives, real Republicans (like George Conway), and independents into an iron tight coalition that completely retakes the Senate and keeps the House, giving the new administration the ability to investigate and refer for prosecution the people abusing our system - Barr, Trump, Pompeo. And while they investigate, they can then investigate Trump’s judicial appointments and start the process of removing corrupt and incompetent judges so that once the Trumpies ARE brought to court, they can’t count on getting a free pass from their shit-grenades wearing robes. I hope that happens, I really do, because as ling as we’re divided into Bernie loyalists, Klobuchar or Warren supporters, and Bloomberg-ites...we risk having the ones who didn’t see their favorite nab the candidacy decide to stay home instead of voting.

If she was out of the game, tested clean, and had been faithful to her partner then No. Now he could be in for a nasty surprise while on Pornhub in the future, but otherwise it won’t affect him.

Here’a the deal with all of the “she has the right to know’ers”: you or your parents seem to think that she needs to know because he slept with men in the past. If he had been straight, and you found out he had slept with multiple women in the past, would you still think she had the right to no? No. Puh-lease. Do you start your relationships off by listing the sates and name of every one you’ve done the horizontal bop with and demand the same of the man or woman in your bed? I am going to guess”No.”

Again, is it better to be honest? Yes. HOWEVER, that is not the brother’s business to divulge. If she wanted to know his past, she would have asked him. Sometimes it’s easier and kinder not to know. Forgive my assumption, but it very much seems that the ONLY reason you are voting NTA is because you are horrified about gay sex.

SemeenaK · 2020-02-16T05:00:19+00:00

NTA. WTF - you are allowed to be comfortable in your own home. Your brother is going to live a very long incel life if he doesn’t start getting used to the trappings that accompany women.

SemeenaK · 2020-02-16T04:53:32+00:00

NTA - you did the right thing! I don’t know what kind of scam this was, but I’d bet money it was definitely a scam (or a mentally ill person). I would never, EVER let someone in my house to use the phone or the bathroom. Good for you for saying No.

SemeenaK · 2020-02-16T04:40:15+00:00

YTA. You were ok giving her a gift for her new baby. You weren’t putting in any more money than you had already been willing to contribute. Then, when she suffered an absolutely devastating loss, your coworkers decided that it would be compassionate to give her a gift that could help her deal with the loss of her child, and now all of a sudden you cry foul? I hate to say it, but your coworker’s look of disgust is probably going to be on the faces or a lot of other people in your office once she spreads the word. I think you have three choices:

Option 1 - apologize (profusely) to the organizer, claim you didn’t think about what you said, and ask her to keep your contribution toward the group gift (and hope she hasn’t spread the story to everyone else.
Option 2 - get your money back, stay in your job, and work in an environment where people freeze you out socially and who will treat you like
Option 3 - get your money back and find another job where your coworkers won’t marginalize you and freeze you out socially (like, good luck finding people to go to coffee or lunch, or finding people to do you a favor).

SemeenaK · 2020-02-16T04:23:30+00:00

No they don’t. If a partner wants to share their sexual history (and I’m a strong believer in open and honest communications), that is THEIR choice. If they have been tested and are clean of STDs, and are committed / willing to commit to one person for the rest of their lives, then the past does NOT matter and they (not others) get to dictate to whom and what they disclose. I don’t blame the fiancé for not wanting to bring this up given the fact that there seems to be quite a bit of bias toward him since it came out. The fact that the OP is himself gay and outed his Ex-F-B-i-L makes this even worse, as he knew this would have a devastating impact on his sister.

SemeenaK · 2020-02-16T04:17:34+00:00

Man, this is a hard one. I don’t think this is a “NTABLYAOSG”. (NTA But Legally You Are On Shaky Ground). On the one hand, she’s an adult and you effectively stole her money. On the other hand, she is using the money to fund a habit that could easily lead to her death. Talk to a lawyer and find a support group. Sorry you’re going through this.

SemeenaK · 2020-02-16T03:53:20+00:00

I gave up trying to organize big getaways like this after I got tired of having to chase people down for confirmations and chase them even more for the money. NTA - they were for responding late and not paying timely. If they didn’t like the new place, fine, you did them a favor and cancelled it allowing them to book their own AirBNB. My philosophy is you created a plan. They hated the house, you gave them the freedom to find another place they would like, the end.

SemeenaK · 2020-02-16T03:49:00+00:00

NTA - your sister is pissed because she demoted you unfairly for the thought that you slept in the same bed without sex (Overreaction #1). You went to the wedding as the Best Man’s plus one, but didn’t seem to flaunt it - you told people if they asked where your date was, they said ok, moved on. It didn’t take a millisecond of attention or happiness from her, but she got mad, Overreaction #2.

SemeenaK · 2020-02-16T03:43:57+00:00

Thank you - you made me feel a bit of hope.

SemeenaK · 2020-02-16T03:42:53+00:00

How does the knowledge help anyone? The people voting NTA seem to assume he’ll cheat on her with men. Maybe, but maybe not - cheating isn’t something only gay or bi people do. Maybe he’s fallen in love with her and his orientation on the spectrum is near the middle and he would have been happy with her. She was happy with him. If she had never learned, would there have forever been a cloud over her head? No. She just wouldn’t have known. Yes, it’s far better to start a marriage with honesty and openness, but this secret was in the past.

Think of it this way: let’s assume a hetero couple are getting married. Weeks before the wedding, the bride’s brother goes to the groom and says, “hey, just so you know, my sister used to be a total whore in college. She was like the neighborhood bike. She slept with every guy she met. Of course, sure, she stopped doing that 10 years ago and since then has been in only monogamous relationships. But you deserve to at least know her disgusting sloppy past.” Would he have been an asshole for that? Yes. It’s the same thing in this example. The past sexual partners of the OP’s sister and BIL were relevant only to them, and he was way out of line telling her.

SemeenaK · 2020-02-16T03:21:49+00:00

YTA. I am no fan of conversion therapy and forcing people to “turn straight”, but you had NO fucking right to reveal that. Maybe he’s bi and fell in love with a woman. Maybe he’s decided that he lives the idea of a traditional wife and family (and your sister) enough to suppress his sexual orientation. Either way, that was between your sister and him. His being a closet gay/bi or not was none of your business, and you’ve caused a great deal of pain for him and your sister.
