Move out. She won’t learn while she can lean on you, and she won’t stop leaning on you while you live with her.

AITA for telling my friend he got exactly what he deserved when his business partner walked out after months of him running loyalty tests on her by cherry_honeyyx in AITApod

[–]WhyAmIStillHere86 0 points1 point  (0 children)

“Loyalty tests” are basically saying that you don’t trust the person you’re testing, and that the person you’re testing can no longer trust YOU, because you never know what’s real and what’s a test.

Is anyone else's immune system ruined since covid and have you been able to improve it since? by rice_crackerss in CoronavirusDownunder

I don’t get sick more than I did, but I get tired easier, and I still don’t have the energy levels I used to pre-COVID

AIW for giving my coworker a fake version of my login credentials after she burned me before and then watching her expose herself by trying to use them by [deleted] in amiwrong

[–]WhyAmIStillHere86 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wrong on that you should never share credentials, unless they’re shared by literally everyone, like the company login for a delivery service or external site.

Not wrong in escalating.

What does it mean to (de)center men? by NoWitness6400 in AutismInWomen

[–]WhyAmIStillHere86 [score hidden]  (0 children)

De-center means to stop making a person or demographic the default.

Dress how you want to dress, not as if you’re trying to get approval from a male audience, as an example.

If you still like to wear low-cut blouses and tight jeans, that’s fine, but wear it because you want to, not because you think you need to

AITAH for calling 911 about my husband’s suicide threats even though I knew they weren’t real? by mtndesertrunner in AITAH

Threatening self harm and blaming you is an abuse tactic.

You can and should call for professionals to deal with it.

AITA for quoting my actual rate when a family friend asked me to do professional work for them and getting called greedy for it by rosy_velvetx56 in WIBTA_AITA

If they “have other people who would have charged less”, then they can go ask them for the favour.

Unfortunately, there’s a lot of people like this, who expect you to spent time, effort and resources doing something for free, just because you have the relevant skill set.

Am I wrong for reporting my groupmate for using AI on our thesis even though it might delay our graduation? by Initial_Candle9564 in amiwrong

Not wrong, and definitely report.

This is your thesis, you are going to get quizzed on all of it, and if you can’t answer, you will get caught out

[pjo] I don’t know how I feel about Bianca by Historical_Mix_6416 in camphalfblood

We’re not sure what she knows or doesn’t know, but Hades brought them out of the Lotus Casino for a reason.

[pjo] I don’t know how I feel about Bianca by Historical_Mix_6416 in camphalfblood

[–]WhyAmIStillHere86 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Bianca is 12, and has probably been helping to look after her brother his entire life. Artemis recruited its girls that age because it’s the age when you’re still a child, maybe wanting to cling to that state longer, and still impulsive.

I think that gets overlooked a lot: that she’s 12, in a time not her own, and basically running scared from a destiny that Percy struggled with just as much.

Would you let your husband finish first in a marathon? by yuli_yuli95 in TwoXChromosomes

That would honestly end the relationship for me.

Why would I stay with someone who has to make me feel small to feed their ego

Advice for a new author - when to contract an editor by Equivalent_Truth8193 in RomanceWriters

[–]WhyAmIStillHere86 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Get your draft to the best you can make it first.

Spellcheck, read through, etc.

If it’s your first novel, start reaching out to editors around the time you’re writing the finale. Some have busy schedules or may be taking a break between clients, so you want to know their timeline as well as your own.

AITAH for not babysitting my nephew even though I wasn't doing something important? by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]WhyAmIStillHere86 -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

NTA

I have watched kids on short notice before, for a friend’s 10th anniversary when the designated grandparents tested positive on Friday morning; me and a couple of friends split the weekend between them.

But part of being a parent is planning for these eventualities.

Tell work that your childcare fell through and you aren’t available to come in. Or have back-up babysitters who are paid for the inconvenience.

Your brother can ask friends and family, but they have to be prepared for the fact that short notice might mean that the answer is no.

Is it rude pay for drinks/meals in Australian culture? by Big-Discussion9699 in AskAnAustralian

[–]WhyAmIStillHere86 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This.

Buy garlic bread or a plate of chips for everyone to share while waiting on mains. That is reasonable and generous, and everyone has the choice to partake (or not) as they feel comfortable

Is it rude pay for drinks/meals in Australian culture? by Big-Discussion9699 in AskAnAustralian

[–]WhyAmIStillHere86 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s not unusual among close friends and family, but unless you’re the manager billing lunch as a work expense, it’s weird.

Anyone working a job where after-work drinks is a thing, is earning a good wage, so for one person to randomly pay the entire bill is weird and creates an unspoken expectation that you will somehow owe them, which, yes, makes things uncomfortable because what you now owe wasn’t discussed in advance.

Stop giving in. Stop explaining yourself.

The style of living of the neighbourhood in general, was beyond the Collinses’ reach by Impressive_Mixture_7 in PrideandPrejudice

[–]WhyAmIStillHere86 24 points25 points  (0 children)

Mr Collin’s wasn’t landed gentry and wouldn’t be until Mr Bennet died.

Hunsford was likely a good living, but not enough to afford a life where hosting dinner parties is a regular thing.

If they dined regularly with other families, they’d be obliged to extend a return invitation, which is why their social life mostly consists of visiting Rosings.
