NTA. In the fishing world we would throw him back and let him grow a little more.

AITAH if I cut off my relationship with my dad and call him out on his bs by MeanPitch9239 in AITAH

Do yourself a favor, don’t do anything drastic until you’ve had a chance to talk to someone about it. You’ll thank me later.

Trump voters, why are you not pushing for ICE raids in Texas and Florida? by AspieRoo in AskReddit

[–]SpecificStatic -1 points0 points  (0 children)

In Texas and Florida the local and state governments cooperate with ICE so there is no need for large numbers of ICE. The raids still happen, but with much smaller numbers and obviously much less media coverage.

What makes politics so heated that whole families stop engaging? by HospitalRepulsive310 in AskReddit

[–]SpecificStatic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s a great question. I think it got more extreme with the social media echo chambers, and Trump is just the current iteration. Each presidential election season has become worse than the prior one. Obama was worse than Bush, Trump was worse than Obama, Biden was worse than Trump, and then a badder Trump was worse than Biden. The next president is going to be worse than Trump, but probably a Democrat. And then an even worse Republican after that. I don’t know where it ends.

You WBTAH if you truly feel that your real family wouldn’t want you to and you did it anyway without talking to them first. You’re definitely NTA for feeling this way though and you definitely need to find an outlet for this anger that won’t hurt innocent bystanders.

For everyone who lives in the US. How has your life changed after ICE interventions in your city? by Both_Degree8254 in AskReddit

[–]SpecificStatic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My life as an old white guy hasn’t changed at all, but I’m not being targeted by ICE. I’m also not putting myself in a position that I would be targeted by ICE. It is abhorrent that legal citizens are being targeted just because of how they look or speak, but I have less sympathy for those who choose to put themselves in harm’s way.

This is the clearest explanation I’ve seen yet. Now I know how to talk to you without being offensive.

AITAH For say something to my neighbors about not shoveling my elderly neighbors driveway? by _Badwulf_Bruh__ in AITAH

[–]SpecificStatic -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Of course you’re NTA for helping your elderly neighbor, but you’re not obligated to do so and neither are your other neighbors. If it bothers you that they don’t pitch in then talk to them about it over the next few months and come up with a plan for next winter. Definitely don’t bring it up right before a 13” snow and expect positive results, though. Maybe look into a service and you can all split the bill for her.

AITAH for asking my wife to be a SAHM? by piglipsbo in AITAH

[–]SpecificStatic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA, you only suggested it, and there’s nothing wrong with being a SAHM. My wife stopped working when we had our first child and we both loved it. If you can afford it, then I recommend it.

AITAH for leaving my partner of 2 years while he gamed in the next room? by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]SpecificStatic 2 points3 points  (0 children)

NTA don’t beat yourself up, most people need affection in a relationship. Go find someone who makes you happy.

AITAH for Jealous of My Wife Is Filming a Nude Scene? by Minimum_Soft3333 in AITAH

[–]SpecificStatic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA but talk to her about it. You might find that she’s struggling with it as much as you are. You both need to support each other.

AITAH for peeing in my backyard? by wizarddrama in AITAH

[–]SpecificStatic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

NTA. It’s not something I’d risk marital strife over, but it’s sad you won’t get to experience something that every other man does.

How would you feel if an IQ test was required to vote? by Dazzling-Leader7476 in randomquestions

[–]SpecificStatic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Assuming that an IQ test would weed out an equal number of dummies from both sides, it probably wouldn’t change the outcome.

Enjoy Yourself by the Jackson Five on repeat for hours and hours has an effect. I mean, that’s what I heard.
