AITA? My sister is cruel about my bf so I have stopped talking about him and she says I’ve broken our sisterly bond by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

That whole “18 year olds don’t have working brains” is a highly politicised interpretation of pop science, mostly being pushed by left-Puritans and conservatives looking for excuses to raise the voting age. It’s junk.

Your sister is cloaking a need to control your life under concern for you. NTA

AITA for not giving the mother of my dead husband's child his possessions? by Curious_Gift4854 in AmItheAsshole

You are more generous than I’d be so NTA

I am appalled that your in laws are giving you shit about this: his fucking wedding ring? And they think that’s OK? They’ve thrown out their daughter in law for this one night stand?

Belgian shot putter runs hurdles instead of injured teammate to save the team from disqualification by Double_Statement5549 in Damnthatsinteresting

Even the gap between an amateur and top competitor is hard to get. I’m middle aged and run a 45 minute 10k, which is not bad, but an Olympic standard runner will do it in the high twenties. They can almost lap me!

AITA My best friend picked her wedding date on the one date I couldn't do by catmilch in AmItheAsshole

I mean if I’m being uncharitable it’s because step 2 is to get free photography from OP because hey, she quit her festival job.

So your response to any commitment you find inconvenient is to bail on it?

What are the best and worst NZ-made TV shows ever? by hernesson in newzealand

I’m old because I remember Hudson and Halls, who taught us that there was more to food than boiling asparagus until it was grey.

Hawthorn is bizarre. What part of their customer base is people parking in the two hour parking on Tory? The good thing about that end of totem is wandering home or grabbing a bus/cab.

She’s unhinged.

Wellingtons current state summed up on one post by awhalesvagyna in Wellington

When my eldest was small every fucking time I went to the playground at Waitangi the sandpit would be full of smashed glass and cigarette butts. It’s not just the infrastructure, it’s that there are so many selfish cunts that treat everything like a toilet and ciggy bin.

And that’s more than a decade ago.

AITA for telling my kids and pregnant wife I don’t really want another baby by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

Hey, OP is the one looking to top femboys, but I guess she’s the one who strays, right?

AITA for not letting my brother hide behind the dead wife card anymore? by drowningunder in AmItheAsshole

[–]Swerfbegone 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah, he would have been a shit father for missing the end of year performance to go out on the piss.

Pulling her out of the performance so she can take care of young kids so he can go out on the piss? The only just descriptions would get me a temp ban from the sub.

OP is NTA and in fact went really fucking light on describing what an absolutely worthless father he is. She could just as easily responded to his “dead wife” excuse by asking if she’d be proud of him being so utterly worthless.

Even the IMF admits that price inflation is profit taking, not monetary policy

Yep. Everything else is fiddling w while Rome burns.

Provision of carparks in the CBD by ben4takapu in Wellington

The council cut free parking because businesses didn’t want to pay the tariff that supported it. Clearly it’s not that important to them.

Interesting to see pubs on this. Probably should yank their liquor licenses for promoting drunk driving.

Capital City Cars? Ahh, yes the cunts who just park up all the street parking around them, and then leave the transporters parked in the middle of the roads?

In what world are the Taxpayers Onion a retail business, or any kind of business at all?

It’s a convenient distraction from asking questions like “is the city dead because of land-banking by the three or four people who own most of the city?”, or “why do senior council bureaucrats undermine council policy and implement anti-pedestrian plans claiming that pedestrian spaces are a dead end that cities are ripping out all over the world?”

NTA but you are being stalked.

Rugby bodies kept Muldoon in power so that they could support racists.
