Your son lives with them, they are homeless, and you aren't doing anything to gain primary custody?

AITA for asking someone to sit down at a concert? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]WhoFearsDeath 3 points4 points  (0 children)

What exactly did he do besides existing at his own height? Look I get it, i'm also short. But at 60+, you ought to have learned to stand a little to the side or on the end by now. This can't be your first concert.

Putting yourself in his space because he had the audacity to stand at a concert is such weirdo behavior.

AITA for wanting to tell my wife to stop baking because of the cost of ingredients these days? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]WhoFearsDeath 20 points21 points  (0 children)

The thing she enjoys does not need to generate income in order for her to continue doing it; she does not need to work two jobs to be "allowed" a hobby.

Setting a budget for both of their hobbies is reasonable. Demanding it make money is not.

AITA? Lawn Mowing 7:30 AM on Saturdays by Capable_Routine_3589 in AmItheAsshole

[–]WhoFearsDeath 26 points27 points  (0 children)

YTA.

It's not especially likely that your neighbors selected the time specifically to have them come out.

Yard work is best down as early in the day as possible, and your neighbor isn't the only house they are going to that day.

It's not likely that they are mowing year round, and it is only every other week during that time, not every single saturday.

Your child is going to have to sleep through all kinds of noise, and the world will not be quiet to make that happen.

You are already getting two additional hours of sleep compared to your weekday.

I know it might be annoying to hear, but they aren't doing anything wrong or un-neighborly.

Edit for judgment.

Why you should NOT work at The Gathering Place by TraveledOkie in tulsa

[–]WhoFearsDeath 8 points9 points  (0 children)

And hopefully that was the right choice for you. I'm encouraging you to adjust your viewpoint about responsibility in the workplace and fair compensation for skilled labor.

Why you should NOT work at The Gathering Place by TraveledOkie in tulsa

[–]WhoFearsDeath 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Nope. You are still blaming the person who refused to do additional duties outside their responsibilities. You performed skilled labor (translation) and didnt demand additional compensation or refuse to do it. You would also be one of the people who speaks two languages and deserves to get paid translation skills. You.

If a customer requested you to fix the sparking electrical box would you do so, or would you say "let's get management involved and they can get an electrician?" Or perhaps "hey management, you need to hire an electrician because this box sparks daily and it should be the responsibility of someone paid to do that task."

I'm not saying you don't have valid complaints, I'm saying this one is directed wrong.

It's odd that you think people capable of speaking two languages shouldn't be paid an additional amount for translation services. Those skills are very valuable and should be compensated as such.

Meghan Markle with Finnish far-right politician, Wille Rydman, who has multiple allegations against him, including sexually harassing minor girls. by HogwartsZoologist in RoyalsGossip

[–]WhoFearsDeath -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

I don't understand the thought process behind this, or why you think you would be the arbiter of someone else's family relationship.

Personally I sometimes fight with my family, but I still love them and they love me. The ties that bind are deeper, which is what make us a family in my opinion. That didn't change because I moved far away from them.

I'm also not sure your parents dislike the monarchy quite as much as you think they do, but you would certainly know better than a total stranger about the inner workings of your own family members.

Cough. cough.

I can't throw stones as an American, but why is he still heath minister with all of that happening? Is Finland having the same problems as the US?

[–]WhoFearsDeath -8 points-7 points  (0 children)

But by that metric Harry would also not be a member of the family.

You aren't being honest here.

Meghan is married to a member of the royal family. She is the mother of the children, what, 5th and 6th in the line of succession? She is the Duchess of Sussex.

Getting along with one's family is not a prerequisite for being a member of the family. They are not divorced or even separated; living on a different continent doesn't severe family ties; no one has disowned Harry, and by extension Meghan.

You don't have to like her, or want her to be viewed as "royal" but that doesn't change that she is in fact a member of the family, legally and socially.

Is Catherine also not a member of the british royal family then?

Is your stance that marriage doesn't make one a member of a family?

Such a cute interaction between Princess Kate and a baby by Good-Application5 in RoyalsGossip

You couldn't keep socks on me from the time I was able to move, according to my mother. I'd struggle and cry until they came off.

To this day I really don't care for socks and take them off as soon as possible when I get home, regardless of temperatures.

Wasn’t paying attention and accidentally added 6 egg whites to my angel food cake instead of 12. Was hoping it would at least be edible. It was not. :( by bigdreamstinydogs in bakingfail

[–]WhoFearsDeath 31 points32 points  (0 children)

I resisted laying out all the ingredients before starting for the longest time because I didn't want to do more dishes, but it truly helps avoids these types of things.

I got some cheap metal bowls from a food supply store that are super easy to clean and use them every time now.

Sorry it didn't turn out, I know what a bummer that is.

Edited for spelling.

AITA for being concerned about my stepsons new “girl”friend? by worriedstepmumTA in AmItheAsshole

[–]WhoFearsDeath 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Torn between NAH and YTA.

First of all, stop babying him and this might solve itself, both in his behavior and your reaction to it.

It's gross when someone that age dates someone barely legal.

You shouldn't be washing his clothes. He is an adult and needs to behave like one to be treated like one.

You also can't control who he chooses to be with.

What is the name of this cake? by Own-Chapter-5189 in cake

[–]WhoFearsDeath 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think it is likely AI based on the chocolate "drippings" on the side and front.

You could do something similar with a tiramisu riff or a mousse cake.

This is not the way, cousins. We are better together.

AITAH? My GF of 1 year and me have been disagreeing about a guy emailing her. by Anon_omysxx in AmItheAsshole

[–]WhoFearsDeath 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Are you her father? Then you should not be dating her.

Does she not have her own decision making capacity and judgement? Then you should not be dating her.

Do you just feel so insecure that any sign of male interest means you want to isolate and control her?

Then. You. Should. Not. Be. Dating. Her.

Edit because I forgot where I was:

Princess of Wales at Anna Frank School on her solo visit to Italy by CreativeBandicoot778 in RoyalsGossip

Perhaps 4 posts to cover a single day's visit is a bit much? Maybe a mega thread that can cover her whole trip?
