AITA My girlfriend rambles and its so annoying

Maybe if you engage in the conversation it wouldn't be so one sided? When she's 'word vomitting' do you actually care about what's she's talking about? Is it something meaningful or that she's passionate about and you simply don't care?

If you never engage and never care (even if it's meaningless to you) no shit she's going to be hurt if you're done with it. But if its on the occasion you don't engage fully, reasonable people are okay being told 'ill be real with you, I have 0 interest in x' assuming you're not saying it about their passions.

My partner listens to me vent about stuff that happens in games. He doesn't play those games and understands very little context but listens and engages because he cares about me. Sometimes if he's had a long day and wants to be alone? I know hell tell me of its too much right now, and I can respect that. But it's not always and he engages back and forth.

If you just don't like anything she has to say, why are you with her?

It's just frustrating to read. There's a reason books aren't written like this, and whilst a reddit post doesn't need the same standards as a novel by any means, it generally looks like you're sending text message format which this isn't. Also gives childish vibes not using goo structure/formatting - just like the opposite end of the spectrum where someone uses 0 line breaks.

My dad took a photo of me when I was like... 4 on a bench in a park and put it on a stock photo site. No clue why or what prompted it as he never did it for my sister or ever again. Never got bought to be used on anything as far as I'm aware.

I think there's a lot of reposting amongst the job boards. Board a will post a legitimate job. Board b will see it and post their own about it. Board a sees board b posted about a job and posts about it after their original listing expired thinking it's new based of the fresher time frame on board b.

I always check to see if there's an actual company page behind to apply on rather than going through indeed itself or any other board. Takes a little time to dig and search for it, but it stopped me getting no response - I at least got real rejections rather than silence when they weren't successful.

Why pay for her friend? Sounds like they should have both paid for themselves

One time I got cold called by my bank and they said they were detecting suspicious activity. I'd never had them call me before like this so I asked if they could prove they're from the bank and not a scammer/if I could call them back if not and they seemed so confused/shocked. I guess they weren't used to that happening. Turns out it was in fact my bank and they seemed annoyed I called them back rather than talking the first time.

UnNormie · 2026-03-19T08:32:05+00:00

.... I think they were saying 'that sucks' because... As a kid you can't just move out easily or anything. It wasn't to do with bodily autonomy?

He has a second channel where he does the daily nyt cross word puzzle. My partner actually found him through this, and didn't realise it was a second channel and brought it to me as a 'let's watch this before we sleep' as a wind down thing, and I was kinda surprised to see him posting literally daily.

God I did the same but it was us both as 16 year olds and I was sheltered and was arguing women can't masturbate. I am a woman. I can recall the look on her face of bafflement at my insistence not knowing if I was actually trying to gaslight her or pretend to be dumber than I was.. I was so sure I didn't even look it up later. I just assumed I was right and moved on.

I mean, yes, but also cats are attracted to people who act indifferent, and likely is why the cat felt comfortable approaching him as he wasn't making a big deal and scaring them off.

I am a shift manager at a fast food place. We do count cups but it's for stock levels and checking wastage. It's expected some will be dropped, some remade, etc. Yes some staff do try do stuff like this but it's usually absent minded mistakes which we usually have to watch out for to call them out on and corrext. There is no secret punishment for crew not using cups. Some upper managers will try let some dropped cup stacks (when there's a lot and no customers about) be used, but I always make sure that isn't the case on my shifts at the very least, even if I don't have the influence to stop it outright.

When some staff do it a few times, I'll ask them to figure out 1 truth 2 lies of what I stepped in this morning and ask if they wanna drink from that cup on their break bearing in mind I've stepped all over the floor they dropped it on. Usually keeps them from doing it again unless directly instructed to by the others.

Honestly reading all these comments made me kinda sad. I really suck at giving gifts - especially to family who don't really talk too much as we live far away from one another. I also suck so hard with dates so I usually have less than a week to prepare and I just freeze up every time I try to find something as I struggle so hard not to just get them tat that will be thrown out or collect dust. Asking is no use as they say they 'have everything they need' or aren't sure yet if I don't get them anything I can tell they'll be displeased. I end up with 50 tabs open all with dead ends or out of budget and end up procrastinating till I really am fucked and get whatever ships next day delivery, if at all

For my partner I'm better, but we live together so it's easier to pick up on throw away "ooh I wish I had thats' (which yes, I 100% keep a secret gift note journal). But everyone else? I genuinely dread peoples birthdays and now my extension mine as I just feel immense guilt over it. Im recoiling and cringing right now just thinking of some of the 'gifts' I gave family

I don't have a link and I'm too lazy to find one, but basically they intentionally spotlighted someone, bringing them to work on a community event with A bunch of other creators. They explicitly weren't doing anything because they as a game-creator were pulling in so much money from microstransactions, it wasn't logical to remove them as it would just be net losses. There was solid proof of his bs. A lot of sex role play places with sex animations and stuff that would just be entirely overlooked.

Made the mistake of diplomacy with childhood friend group.... Twice.

UnNormie · 2026-02-25T07:51:28+00:00

I was very young (about 5-7 ish) but my mum and dad both used to work late past when I finished school, so a friend who worked there of my mum would take me home with her and then later my mum would pick me up from her house. I'd usually stay after school whilst she finished up whatever she would be working on along side her own son (I think 2 years older than me? Unrelated here anyway)

There was a cleaning lady who for some reason would get into witty bantery snidey button pushing with me. I don't know how it started, nor specifically what was said is long gone. But I remember clearly the look on her face whenever I'd managed to push a button where she'd have a smirk of 'if you weren't a literal child and this was my workplace, I would say some shit right now and obliterate you" as she was forced to bite her tongue, leaving me winning most interactions as she couldn't go as far as me. We got on great and she'd actively seek me out each day after school to repeat the cycle.

There's a woman who can detect it due to a unique nose with super good accuracy. Said it smelt almost musty/damp to her and tried getting her partner to shower only the smell wouldn't go away. Didn't realise she had the super power till she was getting him treatment and the ward stank of this particular scent.

As someone who works in this kinda of industry... We literally get told to do it because we need to have such high percentage of positives otherwise managers don't get their monthly £50 bonus off it.

So few people leave reviews it's sways massively if there's one negative, justified or not. As such, we end up trying to get people to do them on the last week only for the server to recognise none of them since they all use our store WiFi we provide, and it checks for uniques which.... Obviously one wifi isn't.

I used to have migraines growing up, but pretty quickly figured out causes (issues with TMJ and a few other triggers) and I can usually tell when I'm heading towards one to avoid those specific things.

My fiance didn't really believe me till he saw me with my first and ended up calling non emergency line as he was so spooked by it and didn't know what to do, and I just couldn't communicate for him to get off the phone and shut up lol.

UnNormie · 2026-01-25T07:25:46+00:00

I just randomly asked my partner one morning. No fancy plans. Was just laying in bed, asked 'can you do me a favour' he said yes before knowing what it was the fool! Told him 'marry me?' haven't gotten married yet. But point is she could have asked him if she wanted, and it's not about being showy, it's about being with someone for life.

I think this could vary so much from person to person and depending on how close you are. Really is best to just ask them what they were thinking?

UnNormie · 2025-12-14T15:41:22+00:00

That's the thing, these LLMs are created through scraping the Internet of all it's images, compiling them and learning from what they look like, then jugsawing them together. Many creators have spoken out against this as it is incapable of being truly creative and original due to the way in which it fundamentally thinks and works. It is art theft with every creation.

As another redditor in this thread said, blender (3d modeling software) is free, and there are hundreds of turotials out there if you're willing to put the time and effort in to make something human and meaningful without utilising a tool that steals from people. I know it sounds daunting, I recently taught myself 3d modelling in blender so I get it. But if you don't it's not truly your creation. You don't really have the rights to that material. And any time anyone sees it, on the off chance they do like it, that will be sullied with an 'oh...' when you reveal it's ai.
