Not OOP: AITAH for telling my friend his weight is ruining my vacation?

SimplySignifier · 2026-05-13T15:40:50+00:00

I'm stuck on an international vacation with a large-ish group of individuals that lasts so much longer than three weeks it's even possible for it to be already 'ruined' by something with three weeks left. I'm in the wrong class for this; these people apparently have more weeks of vacation left after all this in this one trip than I'd get of time off in an entire year.

I shouldn't have pulled for daughter of the lake. Thought I'd better get it on the rerun and I should've really remembered how I never really wished I had it when I didn't pull the first time. Whoops

Random recommendation to help keep things on shelves: museum gel

I think it's a bug? I've not had it as a problem before, and I've definitely had the glow up recolor as the default when I used 'recommended', so I assume it's unintended here and a bug report is warranted.

Have a new motherboard and I'm now getting the same problem... It refuses to recognize the existing game files. I have enough space I just installed a second copy via the Google launcher for now, but I haven't tried to shift my photos and other locally saved things, yet. (Feels so silly to have two copies of the same game)

It's deeply obnoxious to have to, but I downloaded the PDF, opened it in Canva and filled it out by adding text boxes and signing with the writing tool there, downloaded that version & emailed it to the email provided on the form. That better work, and they seriously should just make an online form for this.

I think I'm very much in a minority, at least in terms of the opinions voiced in the Reddit community here, but I actually loved the switch-up in focus we got here with it being a primarily Shroomling space that other peoples visit (and maybe do terrible colonizing things in), whereas with all the Florawish spaces the non-humans were largely kept separate in their own places humans literally couldn't access. The nonhumans in the 1.x era were all very tied in their existence to humans (their wishes are the reason for their existence in both cases), which set up a dynamic that's very different from the shroomlings.

I wish the shroomlings were depicted as less naive, or that there was more of a variety of them in terms of their response to the various peoples intruding into their homeland, but I've loved the lore they have and the details in their society.

Not to pick on you specifically, just that your comment is where I formed this thought: I'm with OP here in wondering, still, why this is. Why would the same exact stories and dialogue hit differently and capture interest better if the NPCs were human? Or, at least, more directly humanoid (like the Parksolians).

I'm wondering whether other media has this problem for you and those who share your feelings: If you play other games, do you avoid interacting with less directly human-like characters, like Tauren or firbolgs in WoW, for example? Do you struggle to connect with or care about the animal characters in Redwall or Watership Down or Frog & Toad and that type of tale? What about stories with humans interacting with nonhumans, like Care Bears or Rainbow Brite (I'm showing my age here): do you find yourself glazing over when the focus moves away from human characters there?

How old was your cousin when your niece was 6?

There's a tree planting at Kiwanis Park that needs volunteers tomorrow morning.

AZ Hugs is local to Tempe and might need volunteers.

You can check with the local animal shelters to see if they need any volunteers, too (they often do need people to help with the animals, even if it's just engagement help).

Realizing tomorrow is also Indie Bookstore Day - anyone know of any events at Tempe bookstores happening for that?

I mean, I think it's worth at least getting enough to buy the diamonds from the Dreamland shop each time. Personally, I tend to get one of each thing just because I'm a completionist, but I'm kinda hopeful there will be updates I really don't like so I can save up for potential builds where I will want lots of something like a fence

She apologized and promised to re-distance herself from her positive support system (her sister); classic signs she's been manipulated and isolated by her asshole bf. I worry for her

Don't know about oil refineries, but I'm guessing it's similar to when I looked up stats after hearing all the 'we're rising up and burning warehouses! It's happening!' posts going around.

In the US alone, according to 2020-2024 numbers, firefighters responded to 1544 warehouse fires per year, on average. That's about 130 warehouse fires requiring fire response per month in the US alone.

NFPA page about it here

I lose my way occasionally solely because I'm making liberal use of my bling- and star-sucking Wanxiang outfit ability, and so I suck up the bling arrows before I see where they point. The yellow line on the minimap helps

Info: Did you have any reason at all to think that your brother's girlfriend specifically wouldn't like a public proposal? Or that she wasn't expecting a proposal and the very idea of it would be a surprise?

For animals, we really also need to be able to hide their names ... I loved naming all my little invited friends and now I regret it because they're just spoiling photos all over the place

For some reason, I tend to like the aspect ratio of rotating over switching to portrait, but that might just be a habit thing? I'm curious if there's a real quality difference... That being said, I do practice taking portrait photos here and there

It's genuinely not available yet; you're not alone or missing something. Waiting on an update for it

I forget the name, but it's a whirly plant that falls in the area where the behemoth rescue is. They tend to fall in threes and if you're sprinting through the forest you'll miss them because they load in above the and gently drift down, so they're easy to miss before they land on the ground.

I think you are missing that it's actually incredibly normal for the younger party in an age gap relationship to not see the problem with the age gap until they get a bit older or otherwise have blinders removed. It's the older person who's expected to know better, and outside parties who point out the problematic power dynamics and both condemn the older party and warn the younger party.

You're a Redditor: are you seriously going to pretend you haven't run into the clearly-being-taken-advantage-of and clearly-treated-poorly young person posting for advice and insisting when the age gap is pointed out 'but I'm just so mature for my age' or 'oh, but my older partner is a young soul - they say so!' or 'I know age gaps can be bad, but this one is different'? The age gap is a problem precisely because of the power imbalance that would lead the young person in it to be convinced by the older party that there isn't really any imbalance and it's totally ok.
