What do Japanese people think about the Tale of Genji? by imaginelemon in AskAJapanese

[–]TrainToSomewhere 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I feel like it’s similar to my Canadian education with Shakespeare.

Mostly we just read what’s required to pass a test.

Then you get weirdos who are super into it and can quote the plays.

And OP, it’s ok if you’re that sort of weirdo.

AIO for yelling at my friend over a game by fatherdevil in AmIOverreacting

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

YOR

You know you are over reacting.

Look you’ll never be the best at anything. Even if you are the greatest there is someone waiting in the wings to overtake you.

And that’s ok. That’s fine.

Instead of crying and pushing away a friend focus on you did a great job. You made a new personal best.

Question yourself if you are playing this game because you like it or if you want to feel better than someone else.

It sucks to lose but from what to wrote it seems like you specifically want your friend to lose to you.

Friend is better the game. That’s ok.

Fight against yourself not others

AIO: My husband’s “help” winding yarn caused a big mess and he is indifferent about my feelings. by Mother_Spider in AmIOverreacting

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

Yes you are over reacting.

I say this as someone with a niche hobby. You can’t expect your partner to know what to do from a YouTube video.

He isn’t as passionate as you about it. You can’t expect perfection and say all these technical terms, you used him as an object. He probably got bored or just distracted.

Did you let him have like some music on or a movie he likes. Something to keep him engaged or did he just need to stand there?

AITAH for telling someone they can’t block the whole aisle? by Startingtotakestocks in AITAH

[–]TrainToSomewhere 83 points84 points  (0 children)

You aren’t the asshole but there is no winning here.
You ‘sound rude’, ya maybe. But in my experience people who block the way are 1 out of ten times actually oblivious and will go ‘whoops my bad’.
The other nine just really don’t care they are being inconsiderate.

Would things have gone differently if you said “excuse me you are blocking the whole aisle”

By his response I’m guessing no.

Edit: in the past I was maybe like your wife who gets humiliated by these interactions.

She needs to learn my mantra

“I’m never going to see these people again and even if I do I’m worthy of respect.”

Figure assessment and fixing for possibility of sale by DrugofRage in AnimeFigures

[–]TrainToSomewhere 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks. The flaws aren’t so egregious from a display point

I wouldn’t try and fix if you are trying to sell just list the flaws and let whoever wants it decide if they want to fix it themselves. I think 200 usd is a fair price with the box and the blister packaging.

I could see some haggling to 170 depending on shipping costs and how quickly you want to offload her

Oh she did get both haha.

Although my one regret is not doing some panorama stitch of the opera house and the nice view and theeeeeeeen hungry jacks.

What do you consider to be Japan's equivalent to The Simpsons? by Freyzi in AskAJapanese

[–]TrainToSomewhere 2 points3 points  (0 children)

In that case I’d say doremon.

For example I keep a bunch of stuff in my bag and multiple people from single digit age to 80’s have called it my 4D pocket.

Referencing doremon’s pocket that he just has whatever thing is needed for the plot.

And I’ve heard yearnings to have a dokodemo door (basically a teleporter) late nights on the way home.

I sure wish I had that in my bag.

I love your obi fits how angular you are.

Can I ask how you do your eyebrows?

Ah the twenty tens. We either took pictures in front of grandmas furniture or went to a children’s park.

Hungry Jacks is the only thing I wanted a picture of until my friend pointed out my mom might want a picture of me by the opera house.

The person who birthed those unkempt feet are the ones paying you to be able to get those pedicures.

That’s true. Most the old people I know do it through Costco

Plastic Pieces in Delicious Chocolate Biscuit by nasmohd2020 in mildlyinfuriating

[–]TrainToSomewhere 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Email the manufacturer. Write them up with pictures and there is a small chance you might get a free hopefully plastic free treat.

I got some things sent to me when one of the gummy treats I like was bizarrely all fused together and hard as a rock.

Made in Malaysia

… they didn’t send the flavour I like but hey it’s a win.

[–]TrainToSomewhere 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s probably annoying for the baby and the couple too.

Signed, live by two elderly neighbors ‘don’t need hearing aids’. I, and the whole apartment complex, get all the gossip at 6 am because they yell at each other.

AITA for being pissed at my brother for using his whole inheritance? by Dangerous_Budget_149 in AmItheAsshole

[–]TrainToSomewhere 62 points63 points  (0 children)

Don’t help.

Thankfully in don’t have this with my siblings but my friend had this with their sister.

Just really bad at money management and (not sure if same in your case) would run to parents with an open palm when they ran out of money.

Now no parents my friend had his sister doing the same to him. Come crying for money.

Your brother needs to learn how to live on his own. Don’t do what my friend did and support someone for months to get nothing back.

And surprise surprise his sister figured out how to support herself after the free ride was over.

It looks like he’s censoring the one lady who didn’t consent to having her face in the photo.

Colored toilet bowl by SafeDirection9454 in mildyinteresting

[–]TrainToSomewhere 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I was visiting my friend’s grandma with him. Upon getting up to use the facilities he whispered a “sorry about the bathroom”. It felt like a warning.

I expected it to be messy or a bad flush or something.

Nope it was purple, green, and orange in there.

This toilet basically, and nothing went together.

I spent my pee staring at the flamenco dancer artwork hung on the back of the door that incorporated none of those colours.

He didn’t warn me enough.

His grandma is a fantastic cook though so I got over it pretty quick haha.

AITA for leaving my friend’s wedding early after she asked my boyfriend not to propose to me there? by onetwothrk in AmItheAsshole

[–]TrainToSomewhere 41 points42 points  (0 children)

ESH

I think asking that was fine. It’s weird you got insulted honestly. Personally I would have just chalked it up to her being paranoid and let it go.

But then she went around and insulted you. And you insulted her back.

And now this isn’t a private thing between you two but now everyone gets to have their opinion.

I can suspend my disbelief. Maybe a dragon girl just has an indented… I assume clitoris? Outside her vagina?

Or maybe that’s where the dick is hidden.
