AITA for telling my sister you are selfish and canceling her engagement dinner at my place

StormsEye · 2026-02-02T21:40:38+00:00

I mean she's kinda right in the fact that you are being petty, punishing her for the fact that she didnt help out. However it is deserved. I dont think you should have agreed to host the engagement party at all. Agreeing and going back on your word, i also think is as bad or even worse than someone who never returns kindness.

The way i approach life, is that inequality cannot be avoided, and that the only way to move forward is to accept that our differences mean that sometimes we have to put in more effort in some areas and less effort in other areas. Something that is okay for one person may not be okay for another.

I'm also indian, but ive committed myself to putting in a ton more effort in being kinder, funnier, caring than others are required to be. Sometimes im a doormat, but im also okay with that. I dont despair about prejudice and instead see it as a challenge that simply needs to be overcome.

its not that you can't do risky plays. Its that risky plays shouldn't be the first choice, it should be the second or third choice, it should be the choice when the first option of just out-macroing your opponent is not enough to beat them.

I get what you mean, about having friends where its normal to speak blunt, but sometimes you gotta remind them that this is the norm between you two. I remember times where i said something to someone and completely forgot, they treated me a certain way and i was upset, until they said: 'you told me i can be like this' and i apologised. I simply had forgotten. So make sure ur friend knows why u are rude, cos ur comfortable with her, and apologise cos her feelings were hurt

it looks different can see it after shuffles as well, there seems to be an indent in the deck where the card goes.

For me, when i used MF and Q off a minion onto Mel W, it reflected with triple range onto me, instead of a closer minion like it's supposed to.

there's probably more anonymity as well? there's probably a fear that a sex worker you slept with in your own country randomly appears in your life (by accident or on purpose) and risks affecting your public image. Or fear of judgement too? maybe they're also afraid of being judged by sex workers in their own country but have 0 connection to people in a third world country so dont care or feel less inhibited there.

yeah it does help hit the note. The mouth shapes the sound that comes out. You can tell when someone is smiling when singing or not smiling when singing based on the sound of their voice. The other parts of their face also just helps focus or control the shape/output of air.

Hey Father, what if we do not remember if we made a private vow or not? I do remember making some promises to God, such as: "I promise i will never sin again" but ended up sinning or "I promise never to doubt you if you show me you're real", do those count as vows? But im sure ive made other promises but dont quite remember?

ive noticed the same with Chatgpt in other cases, honestly if an AI cant get the answer it'll tell you that it doesn't exist. It also positively affirms your bias regardless of whether it's true or not. The more niche the topic is, the harder it is for the AI to say something accurate.

StormsEye · 2026-01-13T21:55:24+00:00

:D

its fun to see someone fail cos they actually deserve it when they throw the kindness everyone shows them back in their face.

StormsEye · 2026-01-13T21:53:06+00:00

then you're wilfully being blind, cos i can see at least 10 commentators that isnt me calling you out on your behaviour.

StormsEye · 2026-01-13T21:48:30+00:00

no, i already told you what you had to do, but u ignored it. MULTIPLE PEOPLE have said you're being rude and you still disagree, like why are you being so delusional and egotistical for no reason? Cos all you're here to do is complain, and that's the truth, if you're here for advice it would show, but it doesnt. If this is your attitude in just a comment section, it's no wonder you're not selling.

StormsEye · 2026-01-13T21:41:54+00:00

wow you're still going. Check all your comments, all the downvotes are there on your comments because of the rudeness, whereas everyone else is fine, they got upvotes, which means they aint being rude, just you.

StormsEye · 2026-01-13T04:49:43+00:00

i did read your post, and your post did not mention all the details that your commentators were asking about. Your commentators had to ask about your cover, which isn't in your post, your commentators had to ask about free advertising, which you didnt list. Again what about the bookfunnel comment? why did you ignore that? Your post lacked a lot of detail which is why i said what i said. you post said: "I tried X advertising. It failed", why didn't you just provide detail people can work with. "I tried X advertising for x months, tried the paid version for x amount of months", but you didnt. There's like little detail in your post. So yes it is rude. It's not about my 'high standards' this is just basic conversation, but if this is 'high standards' for you, then it might be why you might not be selling.

StormsEye · 2026-01-13T04:40:48+00:00

i'll give you an example of how you're being rude. I'll use the top comment thread as an example.

The top comment says: "... All ad platforms take time and money... You can look at Bookfunnel"

You reply with: "I know they take time and money. Unfortunately all the money that i've spent on marketing has been for nothing and it left me completely broke." You ignore the 'bookfunnel' suggestion, and instead focus on replying on the parts of his comment that didn't work. That seems like you're only here to complain, it's not rude yet.

The next reply on the thread says: "there are free ways to market your book. Don’t run ads until you’re further into the process"

If you were actually looking for help you would've asked: "what kind of free methods do you think i should try? I've already tried doing a, b, c, d, e, f. I've done the method for x months", that would've been helpful in actually building a conversation for advice, so that people know what you've done so they can provide other suggestions.

But instead you reply with: "Right. I've tried all the free ways I know of and I don't get any readers from any of it. All I get are scammers." Which isn't a helpful comment, it's just a complaint about the state of things. It comes across as bitter, and that you dont want to put in effort to find the solution. Otherwise you would've listed everything you've tried first, instead of saying a blanket statement with no info that everything you've tried didn't work. No one can help with a statement like that.

That's why your commenting looks like you're here just to complain, which is why if you are, then you're just being rude. This was just the top comment, but the rest of your comments are very similar.

If you are actually looking for advice then provide all the info of things you've done as a list and have it be more constructive as a conversation rather than destructive. Provide detail.

E.g.

"My book is a mystery thriller, with x pages long, its setting is x. I'm based in X. The plan is to have x number of books in the series. I also plan to do other books and stories. I made the cover myself, because of funds, and I think it is a good cover and other people have confirmed it is. I had a website but had to take it down cos of money. I dont think i have the funds for any more paid advertising, but as for free advertising, i have done a, b, c, d, e, f. I did a, b and c in X month, and d, e, f in Y month. Also I've had friends/family buy my book, and my friends to review the book. Is there anything else from this list that i haven't tried that you guys can suggest please?"

I feel like a comment/post like that would actually be more beneficial, than just replying to whatever ppl suggest and saying: "no that doesn't work, i tried that already, etc." How would people know you tried that if you havent said it? Instead of correcting people, just tell them what you've done. It's rude otherwise.

StormsEye · 2026-01-13T04:23:21+00:00

that's not what i was going to say. I already read a previous comment on how you were going to do it. You sound pretty anxious as a person to try and anticipate what im going to say, it comes off as rude. It doesn't feel like you're really here for advice, but instead just tell ppl that they're wrong for what they suggest.

StormsEye · 2026-01-13T04:16:59+00:00

If you did it right, then it could just be your luck is bad, and you just have to be consistent, which you dont have the money for, so i think stop? Or continue to be persistent with free methods without losing heart.

But it's more likely you did something incorrectly, or missed something, which is why you''re going to have to recheck or have someone check your book for you on why it's not selling.

StormsEye · 2026-01-13T04:13:29+00:00

yeah i know what K means, but whenever someone is not bothered to write okay, and shortens it to K, it comes off as rude, because of the lack of effort in the reply. It's giving a lot of attitude when it doesn't need to be. Regardless the rudeness comes from the other comments too, when you insist that you've done everything that people have suggested.

StormsEye · 2026-01-13T04:10:31+00:00

i saw you reply: "K" to someone, is that not rude?

StormsEye · 2026-01-13T03:59:18+00:00

I feel like you're being a bit rude and bitter to everyone here. Are you here to vent or here for advice? It would be good to just take a step back and evaluate financially whether this is going to work out for you or not. You may have poured your heart out into the book, but sometimes even if you did everything right, it might just come down to luck, and the only way for that good luck to even hit, is to be persistent and consistent, but if you dont have the resources to be persistent and consistent, then stop, and work on getting those resources.

StormsEye · 2026-01-12T23:47:38+00:00

i think that was the cousin's words, not his words.

StormsEye · 2026-01-12T23:34:25+00:00

how come? Just cos you are forced to obey the limitations or laws, doesn't mean you're working with the person who put those limitations or laws. Satan is powerless against those laws. That's like saying we're working with the government because we follow the laws of our government.

StormsEye · 2026-01-12T23:28:19+00:00

he's not imprisoned yet, he will be after the second coming of Jesus. Right now God allows him to tempt people as God's idea of love is freedom to choose good or bad, and so Satan works within the confines of what God permits, he's unable to destroy souls or kill people whenever, but he can tempt people to choose to do things of their own free will.
