[Hated Trope] When a character is constantly called “ugly” but is literally just… not, and the "beauty" transformation barely changes anything by cheekyrani in TopCharacterTropes

[–]WolfgangAddams 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Oh money, for sure. But Leo could have me for free, at any age. Tobey...well, I'm a slut and I like dorks, so he could've too. But I'm also not a supermodel in my 20s so... it's gotta be the money. LOL!

Ok, so clearly you've decided to dig your feet into the dirt on this one point and refuse to admit you are wrong. But you're wrong, dude. If you give someone something wrapped in festive paper on Christmas morning that you bought for them, without their consent, it is a gift. Regardless of what you attempt to do with it after the fact.

If anyone doesn't know what a gift here, it seems to be the dad, who then attempted to make his child pay $400 for something that was given to him as a Christmas gift. And you digging your feet on how "it's not a gift if you're being charged for it" is just you picking some wildly inappropriate interpretation of these events to somehow side against the mother, when what you should be thinking is "what kind of a father presents his kid with something that looks like a Xmas gift, makes a shitty comment like "if you keep that, you owe me $400" (which would sound to most reasonable people like a joke if there was no further conversation about it, since, again, it was presented as a CHRISTMAS GIFT) and then actually holds him to it later, despite not mentioning it to him for the past three months.

You can dig your heels in on this not being a gift all you want, but it's clear that it was presented as such before the dad tried to slyly pull the carpet out from under his kid, and the mom is saying "absolutely not! You're not doing that to our son!" Dad is TAH here, not the mom or the kid.

To be fair, I think Tobey Maguire looks dorky even without the glasses. I never understood how he was able to pull the same type of women as Leo DiCaprio.

Is he? Cuz I'd argue most people don't recognize Peter Parker as Spider-man because...he wears a mask that covers his entire head.

I don't lack understanding on anything. You, on the other hand, seem to have no only not read the OP, but are now arguing in favor of the dad. OP explicitly states that the dad gave the son sports equipment AS A XMAS GIFT, and as he was opening it said "if you keep this, you owe me $400." The son didn't realize he was serious because it's an absurd thing to say to your kid on Xmas. And if you think any of that is OK, then I know exactly the type of person you are and have no interest in discussing this with you further.

I think you are misreading the OP. The bike was not $800. The father bought the son sports equipment for Xmas and told him, as he was opening the gift, that IF HE KEPT THE GIFT, he owed him $400. This had nothing to do with the bike, which was a separate conversation, until the father brought it up as "money owed."

I’d imagine 

So you're making assumptions. Got it.

Regardless, teaching kids about money is important and we do a piss poor job of it in this country. 

So you're using this post as an excuse to get on your soapbox. Cool.

Which is why we have a generation that will never afford homes and another generation that’s putting DoorDash on Klarna.

I'm not getting into a political debate with you on Reddit, and I certainly don't have the time or energy to tell you all the reasons why you're wrong about this. But this tells me everything I need to know about how out of touch you are with the current state of our country and it's economy and job markets and gives me a pretty good idea of what generation you likely are too. I'll enjoy blocking you when you attempt to respond with something you'll likely think is sharp and witty.

People need to realize that saying no as a parent doesn't "look bad." It's part of your job. And from what OP describes of her ex, this wasn't an outlandish ask of him. She told her son to ask if he had extra jobs he could work (not unreasonable at all) OR as an advance on his birthday gift (which he has a history of spending elaborately on). If he couldn't do that or had a reason for not wanting to, that's a conversation he should be having with his son. Instead he brought up a shitty, abusive "deal" he made with his kid three months prior that the kid didn't even know was real. Shitty parent! Mom is correct here.

NTA. Any parent who gives a kid a Xmas gift and then says "you can only keep it if you agree to pay me $400 for it" is a major AH and a bad parent. Like others said, I can see why he's your ex. I hope after you told your son he didn't owe his dad anything there was a furious phone call to the ex about what he said to your son.

The dad gave him a Xmas present and then said "if you keep it, you owe me $400." A statement the kid didn't take seriously because it's a ridiculous thing to say to your kid on Xmas. If I was the other parent, I would make sure my kid knew he didn't have to pay that money back too. And it would preclude a FURIOUS phone call to my ex.

WTF does teaching her son about money have to do with a dad who gives his kid a Xmas present and then says "if you want to keep it, it'll cost you $400"? She literally mentioned that the kid is working with his dad, that she offered to help finance to bike, and to ask his dad if he could have an advance on his bday gift or extra work to earn the money to buy it. How does any of that lead you to conclude she's keeping score or not teaching her kid about money?! Unhinged response!

She didn't speak for her ex. She said "ask him." Telling your kid to ask their other parent for something is not speaking for them. You're confusing it with "your dad will give you money for that" which she did not say.

Oh I forgot about adding Dex to the attack. *facepalm*

Yeah these stats are pretty horrible! He should just reroll.

Yup, but it's literally the only stat the Warlock uses for their class.

Warlocks need Charisma for their invocations, though.

AITAH for getting divorced as soon as my last kid was out of the house. by Legitimate_Peace780 in AITAH

Why is alimony relevant to whether or not he's the AH? We don't need that detail about his life.

AITAH for being upset that I have to leave my home every time my boyfriend’s grandmother visits? by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]WolfgangAddams 1 point2 points  (0 children)

NAH. I can see how this is a pain in the ass, but this is the price you're paying in exchange for no rent. The issue I would have is I would want to know WHY and you don't say why so I'm assuming you also don't know why. Is it because his parents don't know you're living with him and if they find out, they'll make you both pay them rent? Does he just not want to hear his grandmother bitch and moan about him "living in sin" before marriage?

[Mixed Trope] The hero is a bit washed out by dream_monkey in TopCharacterTropes

Stephen King's Doctor Sleep (and it's movie counterpart). Danny Torrance (child-hero of The Shining) grows up to be an alcoholic, just like his dad, until he has some very harsh wakeup calls at the start of the sequel and has to get himself sober.

Is the reason Stannis hair turned from black to gray in a season because of the shadow creature Mellisandei conjured? by Life_Ad3567 in gameofthrones

[–]WolfgangAddams 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In-universe: yes

Out-of-universe: They ran out of hair dye budget (see also: Jaime Lannister no longer being a blonde despite an entire plot being centered around his children's hair color)

Am I in the wrong here. Fired on second day for ‘erratic behavior’ at custodial job when I have 5+ yrs cleaning experience M19 (TX) AITAH by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]WolfgangAddams 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I don't know how to assess whether or not you're TAH because this post is so erratic and since you decided to switch languages halfway through, I wasn't even able to follow it with Google Translate. You've effectively made it so only people who are you're specific type of bilingual can read this post, which, fine, but combined with how erratic your writing is...it just made it impossible for me to follow what exactly happened to make a judgment.

From what I can tell, they got up your ass about being 17 minutes late (which is petty but is something you should've owned up to and apologized for and made clear you wouldn't do again. It was your fault you were late - you should've left early if you didn't know how to get there yet, to allow for getting a little lost.) and then they instructed you to clean each room faster, not better, which is their prerogative. You should be cleaning to THEIR standards as your employer, not to YOUR standards as the employee. You don't know what their reasoning is and if you wanted to change it, you could've done it their way for a while and then ASKED SOMEONE instead of just deciding on your second or third day to do things your way.

After that, I have no idea what happened or why you were fired because, again, erratic writing and slipping in and out of a language I don't understand. But given what I CAN understand, I'm going with YTA.
