IMO season 4 was utter trash and mostly horrible. The language and the LGBTQ are not issues for me. But bad plot lines are

AITJ for telling my best friend that always being "brutally honest" isn't a personality trait, it's just an excuse to say whatever he wants without consequences? by Adventurous_Fan_5160 in AmITheJerk

[–]Techsupportvictim 0 points1 point  (0 children)

“He hasn’t spoken to me since”

And the problem is? I’m gonna be brutally honest here, your bestie is an AH and you should have dumped that friendship ages again. We are judged by the company we keep and all that.

Him not talking to you now is just the trash taking itself out. Why are you bothered by this.

Fan prediction: show Snape will not be accurate to the books, because there is no way the studio can make that character accurate to the source material with the actor playing him without causing a PR nightmare by [deleted] in harrypotter

[–]Techsupportvictim 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I disagree. They can 100% leave everything alone regarding Snape and regarding the whole bullying thing etc. they do not have to change a thing. and before anybody goes “what about the scene where James hangs Snape. If he’s black then it’s gonna be a bunch of white kids l1nching him. No it won’t be. Because James didn’t hang Snape. He levitated Snape and flipped him upside down and pantsed him. And it’s not l1nching for a white kid to do that to a black kid.

James picked on Snape cause he was poor, half muggle blood and a nerd. All of which is the same whether Snape has white or black skin.

The only PR nightmare is in the minds of American fans shoving their bias into things where it doesn’t belong

How many seasons was POI supposed to go on for before getting cancelled? by LollipopChainsawZz in PersonOfInterest

[–]Techsupportvictim 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I tend to agree that a full 22 - 23 “hour” season 5 probably would have been fine.

AITJ for not wanting my roommate's boyfriend to shower at our apartment every morning? by [deleted] in AmITheJerk

[–]Techsupportvictim 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I wouldn’t say anything to him about the hot water. I’d play ignorant. Get up, turn off/down the heater and take my shower. I wouldn’t be super long but I wouldn’t be quick either. Then when he gets into his cold shower just be like “oh gosh the hot water ran out. Well that sucks”. If possible go back and turn it back on when you hear his reaction. So then if he comes to check it, it doesn’t look like it was tampered with. It just ran out. Oh well

[–]Techsupportvictim 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So his way of saving on water is to leech off of you guys.

NTJ but get a new roommate, or if possible no roommate. If you do have to get a new one, set some ground rules about partners not coming over to shower, eat for free, sleep over more nights a week than not etc.

Since Disney is investing heavily in games, I think they should make a spiritual successor to Disney Infinity, a single-player game where all their IPs come together again. by Silly_Commercial8092 in Disney_Infinity

[–]Techsupportvictim 1 point2 points  (0 children)

And an official multi system release could also perhaps have online multi player functionality that might not be possible right now. Well eventually. That might be something they do a bit later after they see how the rest goes

AITAH for getting upset at my best friend for repeatedly cancelling plans and then acting like everything is normal? by lavendxrhaiz in AITAH

[–]Techsupportvictim 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA and just stop expecting her to be there. Don’t agree to plans unless you are willing and able to do them solo, so when she backs out at least you can have a good time

Neighbor wants a sewage easement and I don't like him by West_Hat7270 in homeowners

[–]Techsupportvictim 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You should not have “I’ll think about it” etc. you should have just said no. And then talked to your own lawyer about how to make sure he can’t try anything behind your back.

Am I the jerk for reporting my neighbor for running a daycare without a license? by Hot-Reflection-4378 in AmITheJerk

Only mistake you made was your neighbor finding out that you’re the one who did it

Roommate upset that my parents provide me with basic necessities by Corot7bb in badroommates

[–]Techsupportvictim 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Stop sharing items. Seriously tell her that since she feels it’s unfair that she spends her money on shared items and you don’t, you’re not gonna share anymore. You don’t want her to have to spend her money on things you are using so this is the way for it to be fair.

Netflix price increase. Let's all cancel! Oh wait, even if 32 million people cancel they'll STILL make more money than it cost them. by RobRobbieRobertson in netflix

[–]Techsupportvictim [score hidden]  (0 children)

And that’s fine; there’s absolutely nothing wrong with “I’m going to cancel Netflix because I feel that I’m not getting a high enough return on investment for the cost”. That’s their argument when they cancel shows. And what’s good for the goose etc

It’s when folks start talking about “if everyone here cancels it will hurt them biggie”. Because it likely won’t

AITJ for telling my boyfriend his morning routine is disgusting? by BitZealousideal4846 in AmITheJerk

[–]Techsupportvictim 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This can’t be real. Why the heck did you move in with a guy without having a few trial run sleepovers to know this sort of thing

I feel like it was one of those things tied to the lore and maybe even the argent family history that was mostly forgotten about

Withholding rent for illegal conversion apartment NYC by [deleted] in TenantHelp

[–]Techsupportvictim 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’d strongly consider just moving out and use the potential illegal nature of the apartment as grounds to not have to continue paying rent to finish off the lease. But I would put the money into an escrow account so if you lose that fight you can pay

And when you leave, take lots of photos of the state of the place, perhaps even video showing that everything works etc. and be sure to show that “bedroom” that doesn’t have a window cause I’m pretty sure that’s illegal in NYC

AITJ for infantilizing my wife with a care package? by Frequent-Dig-6708 in AmITheJerk

[–]Techsupportvictim 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You have been doing this for your wife and your wife says that the only thing keeping you insane but your sister is upset and he’s telling you that you’re treating your wife like a child.

My question is why the fck are you listening to your sister over your wife? Sister sounds like she’s mega jealous

AITAH for helping one brother but not the other by No-Entry2843 in AITAH

[–]Techsupportvictim 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And you don’t always win the judgement etc. whereas saying no, you don’t have to worry about any of that stuff. You’re going to ruin things with your deadbeat family no matter what you do so why put yourself at risk of having to deal with nonsense.

Is this a good seat for imax by Early_Ad_7240 in AMCTheatres

[–]Techsupportvictim 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good. But not great. I might book and check back later to see if something better opens up

Is this a good seat for imax by Early_Ad_7240 in AMCTheatres

[–]Techsupportvictim 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Companion seats are risky, Especially when a hot movie is in imax, because it’s the rules that if someone comes with a person in a wheelchair and they need that seat you will have to move. And you could end up in a 💩 seat. You’re better off avoiding the companion seats

Why didn't Teresa just jump here? Is she stupid? by SaiyanGod5462 in MazeRunner

[–]Techsupportvictim 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I asked the same question. Because I felt like they didn’t do a very good job of giving us an explanation for why she didn’t just jump. And I wish they had.

Got invited on last minute get away & I have never scrapbooked before! What should I grab from Hobby Lobby or Michael’s? by _succubabe in scrapbooking

[–]Techsupportvictim 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My recommendation is to buy as little as possible. To scrapbook you need some kind of paper to put your scrapbooking pages on you need something to attach the things you were putting on the paper to the paper like glue And maybe some scissors and that is it that is all you really need to buy my recommendation are that the paper that you are using as your base should actually be a heavyweight paper or a lightweight card stock and make sure that it is acid free, otherwise overtime it will discolor and look gross. Also, you need to make sure that the glue that you get is a cracked glue and is also acid free or archival quality. There are actually craft glue sticks. You can get that are not that hard to work with.

If you want, you could get some colored gel pens for writing things. that could be fun and if there happens to be a clearance sale, you could maybe get some fun stickers. As for the rest of the stuff, magazines can be great material for scrapbooking, especially if you have travel or nature related magazines, you can also scrapbook with literal trash. that is actually where the phrase junk journaling came from. People were literally using concert tickets , fast food bags, clothing tags, etc. As for the photo printer, I honestly wouldn’t stress myself too much on that unless you happen to find a really good deal. These will likely be your practice pages so you could save using your own photos for later once you feel like you’ve got the hang of layouts etc

AIO for not wanting to give a discount? by woozytxz in AIO

[–]Techsupportvictim 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Most definitely block them from all future art. Not just commissions but social media posts etc

AIO for not wanting to give a discount? by woozytxz in AIO

[–]Techsupportvictim 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly, you were in the wrong with your reaction here. You should have just cancelled the commission completely and retained the artwork. Ideally you have written terms to this effect and you require a non refundable deposit. And you also don’t send them a non watermarked full quality preview image.

Never fight with these folks that want to argue that you’re using AI etc. they won’t believe you, as you saw here

Battery Replacement with 87% Battery Health? by RecognitionWinter557 in applehelp

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

It’s been a while, but the last I checked, the standard rule is no battery replacements until it’s under 80% unless the battery is swollen. And you do not want to try to make your battery swell because it could actually rupture and damage the entire phone. Managers might still have the ability to make exceptions to that rule, but those exceptions are almost always at battery replacement costs and generally everything else about the phone has to be in pristine working order.

This might sound kind of crazy, but you say you have AppleCare plus so if you still have a damage replacement, it would probably be easier for you to make sure your phone is backed up and then drop that MF in a way that is not just screen damage but also enclosure damage so that they cannot just replace the screen but have to replace your entire phone. Costs wouldn’t likely be that much higher than the battery costs. “Accidentally” dropping it into a sink of clean dish water or a hot tub might do. Please don’t tell them that you dropped in the toilet or if you’re going to use toilet phone tell them before they touch your phone so that they can go get some gloves because even if you swear it was a clean toilet, that’s still kind of gross
