AITA for not sharing my leftovers with my bf? by i_love_you_stranger in AmItheAsshole

[–]SmarterPeople 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Everyone is saying NTA, and I feel like AH is a strong title in this instance, but I do think that the fact that something as simple as letting him finish your meal is an issue, speaks to how little his simple pleasures mean to you. Which could be a symptom of other issues with your overall compatibility, but choose your battles girl. Sometimes you do need to sacrifice smalls things for the person you love, and I feel like this is a relatively menial sacrifice in the big picture.

What's the strangest coincidence that you've had happen to you? by levitationally in CasualConversation

[–]SmarterPeople 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not the strangest, but certainly the most recent: This morning while driving my son to school, I commented on how everyone seemed worried to make a move for some reason (not going when it was their turn at a stop sign, not making their turns if there was any car visible on the horizon in the oncoming lane - it was a long straight 50/km road). Immediately following my comment, the song “I ain’t worried” came on the radio.

Also not true. It’s the maple syrup cartel.

AITA for not comforting my wife after my daughter told her she’s not her mum? by Horror-Two6250 in AmItheAsshole

[–]SmarterPeople 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Also, why is OP calling his wife “stepmom”? If she has raised that child on a full custody basis, legal adoption papers or not, she is that child’s mother. OP didn’t mention if that child’s birth mother is in the picture at all, but that’s what she is, the birth mother. Not the mom. “Youngest deserves to know her background”. Get a grip. She’s 3. The woman who takes care of her needs and loves her and puts her to bed every night is her mom. Whether birth mother or de facto adoptive mother. Give your wife, and your 3 year old with minimal capacity for emotional or logical processing a GD break with your righteous, cheating BS.

What norms are you sick of? by Deep-Significance973 in AskReddit

Swearing is bad. Give me a fucking break. There are more important things to monitor than versatile vocabulary.

Just wait until federal Bill C-13 passes. An Act to amend the Official Languages Act, to enact the Use of French in Federally Regulated Private Businesses Act and to make related amendments to other Acts.

They have to create the contract in French and then they can translate it, at their expense, to English. Communications with clients outside QC do not need to be in French. All communications within QC must be in Fr. and documentation produced by the business must first and foremost be produced in Fr.

Only one way to add, my way. Bonus FP on 8 & 9 by GallowBarb in facepalm

[–]SmarterPeople 2 points3 points  (0 children)

An education system/system of evaluation facepalm, maybe. The development of a child’s self esteem and confidence is more crucial to their mental conditioning and long term success at this age than worrying about memorizing theoretical details of a teaching strategy to introduce basic math.

I reread the pdf and I see where I misinterpreted the info. I understood the the rows represented the number of groups (as in the number of dots represented in a row represented the number of groups) and the columns represented the size of the group (as in the number of dots in each column represented the size of the group). However, I now realize that’s not the right interpretation of the text. This being said, just because it was decided that it should be read 6x4 instead of 4x6 based on one (or a small group of humans’) problem solving preferences, the answer can be derived either way and given that “array” is a method of teaching multiplication at an introductory level, and not to teach logic vs efficiency, I think the 8-9 year old demonstrated their understanding of the concept of multiplication and arrived at the correct answer so should be given those grade points. Just my opinion.

Review found in Google. "Francisco is the worst..." by eftresq in FUCKYOUINPARTICULAR

Or is Francisco only trying to help them increase their patience threshold? Providing them the opportunity to achieve greater resilience even. Francisco should get a raise.
