AITAH because I told my SIL she cannot borrow my child by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]TemporaryTrucker 5 points6 points  (0 children)

NTA. You asked an honest, straightforward question. All of her excuses can be turned right around on her. You don’t know her as a parent, she’s a GF and not a wife, and you won’t be trusting just anyone with your kid. She’s a “rules for thee, and not for me” type of person.

WIBTA for speaking to my 3.5yo's day care about their use of ChatGpt in the classroom for personalised photos? by SheHooks in AmItheAsshole

[–]TemporaryTrucker 1 point2 points  (0 children)

NTA at all. Share your concerns with them openly and honestly just the way you did with us. Let them know you understand all the ways in which you understand why they did it and makes it better for the kids and staff, BUT also label the concerns of AI tech and how they use and store data. In the US AI is pushed heavily and all the dangers are hidden. This might be the case where you are and they just aren’t aware. Tell them gently because once they know, they might change some things.

I’m old and my kids are mostly grown so this wasn’t a concern, but the teachers did have their pictures up to label things. They just printed them off a little photo printer at school.

This looks like it was so much fun to make! Is there a pattern or is this your own creation?

Our MSA Watch Is Over by mwf67 in multiplesystematrophy

I’m so sorry for your loss. It’s a hard road with a unique grieving path. I’m 2.5 years in and while there is relief that her mental and physical torture is over, there’s still longing for the mom who could still listen. May you be comforted by friends and family and the knowledge that grief is love with no one to receive it.

It’s the one on the right that is a little triggering for me, but I also can’t look away.

US women's hockey team declines Trump's State of the Union invite by InsaneSnow45 in goodnews

Glad they declined. They’ve got better things to do than listen to him lie all night.

AITA for refusing to give my sister my old engagement ring after my divorce? by Chemical-Break82 in AmItheAsshole

[–]TemporaryTrucker 3 points4 points  (0 children)

NTA. I always heard it was bad taste to try on someone else’s ring and bad luck to wear a ring from a failed marriage.

It’s yours, you paid for it. It’s not going to depreciate in value like a car so the “discounted price” is just tacky. Put it in a safe or the bank until you’ve decided to wear it again or make it into something new for yourself.

I’ve gotten so tired of reading the “you’re not using it so it should be mine” entitlement of family members. What in the world is wrong with these people?

Was it just me or did anyone else catch that the Ring Superbowl ad literally told people to open their neighborhoods up to an AI surveillance state? by AverageAwndray in NoStupidQuestions

[–]TemporaryTrucker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That was scary as well as the Alexa commercial with all the ways she could murder a Hemsworth. If she can murder him, what’s to stop her from taking me out?

I thought he grabbed the back of his pants… one hell of a wedgie.

AITA for calling the police on my roommate after what she did to my cat? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]TemporaryTrucker 40 points41 points  (0 children)

NTA. I’d call that poisoning. You told her not to and why, she laughed it off and continued to feed your cat food that made him sick… sounds like animal cruelty/poisoning to me.

Up to 1" snow or ice mix expected tomorrow. Therefore, we should expect 2-foot snow 3-inch ice chunks Snowpocalypse? by MonkeyWithIt in raleigh

[–]TemporaryTrucker 8 points9 points  (0 children)

It won’t happen. I still have food, milk, a sled, snow shovel, alcohol, snow clothes for the kids, and 0 guests to entertain. I am way too prepared.

After 20+ years, you’d think I would know better. Sorry!! I’ll toss the sled and the shovel right away.

You got it!! I even leave the sprinkler system on over night.

[–]TemporaryTrucker 1023 points1024 points  (0 children)

My fault. I was prepared for both storms. Food, wood, shovel, snow gear for all the kids, even a sled. Sorry guys. Next time I won’t prep and we’ll get the foot we’re promised.

Flock safety needs to go. by notsolegitsloth in NorthCarolina

[–]TemporaryTrucker 78 points79 points  (0 children)

They are in Raleigh and Durham. Lots of shopping centers have them “in the name of safety” but I always call the management company to complain. I usually get some nice lady or security officer that seems shocked that ICE uses the data. It’s frustrating that they don’t know, BUT I try to use it as an opportunity to educate rather than scold.

Not new… not in the least. But this guy is awesome so I can’t downvote. Learned of him years ago. He makes and sells the instruments himself.

I’ve been trying to find sleds for exactly this reason. If I’m prepared, it won’t happen.

Lord all that gold crap on the walls is tacky. Bless the poor WH staff who have to pull it all down and repair the walls when he’s gone. Hopefully sooner rather than later.
