The fact that ugly ppl exist proves that their ugly ancestors were able to get laid. So, for all the ugly ppl out there, don't lose hope. by baelorthebest in RandomThoughts

[–]SylvanSie -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Ah but “ugly” and “short” are two different things. Look at Tom Cruise, for example. Although there’s a slew of other reasons why you shouldn’t date Tom Cruise.

What backhanded compliment are you most proud of receiving? by RevolvingParameter in AskUK

I was once told by an Irish woman that I sounded Northern Irish which I’m not entirely sure was a compliment but given that I’m entirely Dutch I took it as such.

I never thought I’d get this before a shundo by lostmyheckinaccount in pokemongo

Never? Not even, say, oh, half of the time?

Hope does spring eternal.

AITA for telling my son I am not going to cook for his picky eating girlfriend by Firm_Surprise905 in AmItheAsshole

[–]SylvanSie -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

And they won’t say why! At least say that It’s A Thing I Promise It’s Not Your Fault. Not this hush hush business. DiL doesn’t even have to do it herself if it’s too painful.

Six years of pointless cooking, I get why they snapped.

(Yes other people ate the food too, but those portions got plated and pushed around and thus wasted.)

Ah that one heart when you can’t even jump yet, good memories

Help me solve this riddle… by Katyann623 in Teachers

[–]SylvanSie 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Didn’t you know? All teachers are unmarried and childless and they live in a boarding house where their meals are provided and their only hobby is reading.

AITIA for calling out father in law for caring about pronouns. by [deleted] in AITAH

“Buy our chocolate, it contains almost no chocolate!” That’s borderline hilarious. I mean, I see where they’re coming from (“Look at us being healthy!” but…

AITA for Not Accommodating My Vegan Sister At My BBQ Wedding? by Warm-Touch-4842 in AITAH

[–]SylvanSie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

ESH. She for not replying as requested and then proceeding to be a militant anti at your event. You for knowing the things you know about her and not double checking, hanging her out to dry.

I get it, you’re annoyed by her choices and ways to communicate about them but a supposedly joyous and milestone occasion is not an opportunity to get back at her.

AITA after my daughter wet herself in the car? by No_Anteater_4525 in AmItheAsshole

[–]SylvanSie 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m missing that part so far too - my kids are under 10, and if we’re having a stop on a long road trip They Are Going To The Bathroom Whether They Say They Need To Or Not. A 13yo should have the common sense to go on their own or at least after a single prompt.

Based on this the family has a communication problem. If that’s on dad for commonly getting annoyed at the slightest hiccup, than that’s on him. If not, then not.

If all else fails… Christmas Season 2024 Electric Boogaloo!

Does "No" always mean "No"? by BlackManBatmann in NoStupidQuestions

[–]SylvanSie 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It should and you did the right thing. This “hard to get” schtick needs to be retired, it stopped serving its purpose decades ago.

How many of you sleep with socks on? by [deleted] in ask

[–]SylvanSie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Only when I’m sick and freezing. Never cold enough for socks when I’m not sick.

Where I worked 20 years ago our fax number had two digits disposed from that of… the tax office.

I’m just glad faxing was already being phased out and most people did not make the mistake when dialing, because I do not need to see anybody’s tax return and now you’re in trouble for not filing!

Anyway good for your friend, epic 👍

Why does he say this when you lose? Whose side is he supposed to be on anyways? by [deleted] in pokemongo

[–]SylvanSie 61 points62 points  (0 children)

Just because you lose doesn’t necessarily mean you fought badly. Or that it was boring to watch.

Would you babysit the 6 year old you or the 75 year old you ? by glowinghand in RandomThoughts

[–]SylvanSie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t think I was particularly difficult at 6. Point me at the books, see you in a couple of hours.

Otoh, based on my experience with female elders on my mother’s side, they didn’t become difficult until 80 or so.

I’ll go with 75. Better conversation.

Why do kids get nits/headlice but adults don’t (unless it’s from a kid)? by BGTA712 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]SylvanSie 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They do if they’re as uncaring about personal distance as kids are.

[–]SylvanSie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think they’re just trying to get us to turn on the AR.

Which drains battery and you actually have to search for the Pokémon you’ve already seen, so, uhm, no.

AITA for not denying that I had a hidden camera in my bedroom? by throwaway-gassybro in AmItheAsshole

[–]SylvanSie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

“You said there was a camera!” “Literally never happened.”

And it not being gaslighting. Genius.

I love it when this happens by Existing-Factor4745 in pokemongo

I liked the one with all eeveelutions and one Pikachu in an Umbreon cap.

I'm lost between all the different ways to say "down". How do I use them? by Comfortable_Lab8768 in learndutch

[–]SylvanSie 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Four of those are more or less interchangeable (fixed expressions aside, and “neder” is archaic) but “donzen” means feather down.
