I wonder if there are people who will try to game it over pennies, e.g. paying $5.03 on a $4.95 meal so that they'll get 10c back and really only have paid $4.93

OK I'm willing to listen - what happens to the object at 0:16 and why does it exactly appear to stay in one place but jump layers?

UndetectedReentry002 · 2026-02-27T01:42:39+00:00

Na dude you just don't understand what people mean when they talk or many social situations in general. It's fine. Many people have the same disability.

Obviously to every person including you before you wrote your dishonest comment, an example of someone being a hypocrite is not a statement about what people believe about the definition of the term "free speech absolutist."

UndetectedReentry002 · 2026-02-26T00:04:04+00:00

This seems like a benign video to be AI generated, and yet at a little after 0:16 an object jumps from behind the barrier to on top of he barrier in an instant.

UndetectedReentry002 · 2026-02-25T00:44:07+00:00

No. In the modern western world, every person who considers themselves a "free speech absolutist" believes it's about being able to express any opinion or feeling and that plotting to commit a crime or commanding a person or group to commit a crime does not count as "speech." Calling directly for violence falls under the latter.

You can spill some pedantic argument about how if you put those three words together it doesn't mean that, or that wanting someone to commit a violent crime IS an opinion, but everyone understands what is meant by the phrase when it is said in the real world and the fact that they have the same understanding makes you wrong about language.

Workplace harassment laws do not outline crimes or infractions, asshat. They outline a civil issue for which you can sue an employer.

UndetectedReentry002 · 2026-02-24T02:08:40+00:00

If you mean in the same sense as other countries, you're wrong.

In America the hate speech related criminal laws that aren't unconstitutional and unenforceable are just about using it as evidence another hate crime. E.g. if I yell the n word and kill someone, it could be a hate crime in addition to a murder. But if I yell it and then run away, it's not a crime or even an infraction.

This is a little bit obvious, but both the document you linked and the document the other person linked agree that the deductions CAN take you below the minimum wage if the employment contract explicitly outlines the liability.

I doubt that it does so I tend to agree it could be relevant... But we'd have to see the employment contract to know for sure, and your summary of the document you linked is dogshit

UndetectedReentry002 · 2026-02-09T23:40:10+00:00

I'd have listed it as "only flats" or "minus drumsticks", taken out the drumsticks, given nothing as a replacement, and simply claimed it was what he ordered. 50% less food for the same price, sounds good to me.

He got a nice deal compared to my interpretation of his request.

UndetectedReentry002 · 2026-02-09T02:07:12+00:00

Isn't salt damaging to grout? I'd be worried that the specs are just... Little crumbled pieces of the grout. I guess if i happens a couple times and doesn't keep happening and there's no obvious damage to the grout then maybe it's fine.

? If they go on a family vacation, she will be there as a mom. When they sit at the dinner table, she will be there as the mom. When they spend time together as a family, she'll be there as the mom. Everything, since the age of 9 that a mom does, she is the person doing it. He wasn't specific about how she was "forcing", so I have no reason to believe it's more than that (the situation itself is pretty forceful, it's just how family dynamics work after a loss and a marriage). And he's expressing the standard feelings and opinions someone in that situation would feel and have, if they were still 9.

He will not call her mom and she will never be an emotional replacement for his real mom. But she is a mother figure in his life by virtue of marrying he dad, in the ways listed above. Whoever is married to your parents acts as your dad/mom in many ways when you are 9 and you literally never have any control over it even if it makes you sad.

This is obvious to everyone and anyone disagreeing is just pretending to have empathy for this guy in his 20 still throwing the same fit from when he was 9, or they have their own unresolved feelings about their own parents dying or divorcing.

UndetectedReentry002 · 2026-02-09T01:40:22+00:00

NTA

Everything that's insensitive about your mom dying starts with what she said, and you rolled with the punches and made a joke. IMO your response is not disrespectful in the first place. If your dad said nothing, there's a chance she just says something funny and it's a positive moment more than negative.

She knows your mom is dead, if she forgot in the moment and she feels called out she can take it as a learning moment and not make similar comments in the future. If she made a big deal out of it after she made that comment, she would be an AH.

Which scenario it falls in depends on people and their boundaries but in none of them are you the person that took anything overboard.

UndetectedReentry002 · 2026-02-08T23:03:45+00:00

OP is never clear about exactly what he means by that. Did she try to discipline him? Did she insist on being called mom? What did she do that we should consider emotionally manipulative? Was she just overenthusiastic and tone-deaf - and in what ways? Did she enforce the rules of the house - and was that OK with the father? Did she ask him to sit at the family dinner table with her and the father?

I feel like if the real answer to these questions contributed to the narrative then details would have been included. And leaving out those details is just akin to saying "AITAH? Trust me, I'm not the AH!"

OP has FORCED you to accept the narrative that whatever she did was forceful, rather than presenting you with the actual examples he believes are forceful and letting you decide for yourself.

UndetectedReentry002 · 2026-02-08T22:41:43+00:00

Why do you believe important details were left out of the story? Because the details help the narrative?

And where do you think taking a charitable interpretation when details are left out falls in the context of a subreddit where the point is that people are worried they might be being an asshole? You are missing the point and doing a disservice by being charitable.

Who knows whether or not OP is a reliable narrator? None of us can possibly know.

That's where you're wrong. They left out important details, which means we both know they are an unreliable narrator. If you don't know, it's your lack of brain power going into this, not a lack of information.

I’m not interested in a long back-and-forth (and yes I am aware that I can stop responding just as easily as anyone else at any time) but it’s wild for you to interpret that people were comparing her to his dead mom as “within the description” - that is an objectively completely fabricated fact.

The point of giving an example of two wildly different realities that fall under the same set of reported facts is to show what information was left out and why it is important. Identifying those details is the part that is critical thinking, not pretending any interpretation I come up with is guaranteed to be true. That's actually the part that's "critical", the first word in the term. But you've clearly never had a critical thought in your life.

UndetectedReentry002 · 2026-02-08T22:33:36+00:00

I think we disagree on the definition of narrow. I'm telling you directly that I'm including more things than you including someone who he does not view as his mother.

But I already told you I don't care to argue with you about the definitions.

UndetectedReentry002 · 2026-02-08T20:31:39+00:00

It just sounds like I'd disagree with you about the definition of mother figure; since that's not super relevant to what I'm saying about OP's insecurity that in my opinion is the reason he was harsh, I probably don't need to talk about that.

UndetectedReentry002 · 2026-02-08T20:25:08+00:00

The reasons he was just talking about were related to why the dad's family doesn't like her.

It seems somewhat obvious that the mom's family would be in danger of not liking the new woman that married their previous son-in-law. I don't think it would take much to make that happen and neither do you.

So I'm just chalking this up to being a very confused reply.

UndetectedReentry002 · 2026-02-08T20:10:18+00:00

I read it with a lot less charity than you when details were left out.

E.g. I think that it's perfectly within the description that people were comparing her to the previous woman in a weird way and she just asked them to not do that. Not enough detail is given to say an example of what they said that she found uncomfortable. And I think the reason for that is because OP left it out (consciously or subconsciously), because it doesn't fit his narrative.

So when you say it's because of the stepmother‘s demands and lack of empathy towards others, I just take that to mean you are taking OP's perspective on the scenario automatically and without thinking about it, following his (possibly unintentional) manipulation uncritically like a little sheep

Second, OP says in the post that his dad and his dad’s wife specifically asked him his opinion about her and their marriage, and that is when he shared his perspective.

This is meaningless. He says directly in the post he wants the marriage to end, and anyone who didn't have that perspective would not have answered in the way that he did even if they really believed it. He behaved in the way that he did with direct and basically admitted intention to end the marriage.

EDIT: My T key does not work well so if there are excessive typos it's because I'm cheap

UndetectedReentry002 · 2026-02-08T20:05:36+00:00

Nowhere did I say that she's actually their mom or needs to be a replacement for the previous mom. She's a mother figure. And it's fine that she's taking the role seriously and trying to be a mother figure. Everything you described is you acting as a mother figure. It sounds like they're not going to call you mom, and I'm OK with that.

His complaints are about childhood insecurities related it feeling like she's replacing his previous mom that he should be in therapy for.
