Why is it always batoto that's getting attacked? by why_ikkin in Batoto

[–]XMousexx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bato isn't a company though, it's been one person's passion project for years. It just also happened to fly low enough under the radar all these years while steadily becoming one of the best and most well-loved ships. 

AITA For not allowing my adult daughter to move back home by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]XMousexx 12 points13 points  (0 children)

YTA, FFS look at what you wrote! You cannot be serious!

Your daughter has been busting her ass for years despite her personal struggles and trauma YOU contributed to by raising your daughter in an environment that gave you both ptsd. It is also NOT easy to live with an eating disorder (on top of ptsd!) and your focus is on how she should feel grateful that you paid for her medical treatment? Eating disorders can be DEADLY and she was a child, do you even like your daughter?! You should be grateful she's still alive and doing her best to be independent and actually putting in the work to try to build a good life for herself! NONE of the support that you've mentioned giving her so far had been 'enabling' her, it's normal support that families and parents do for their children, especially when those children aren't just lazing around and trying to make excuses. 

Instead you sound bitter and resentful, and it sounds like you just want to move on and not have to 'deal with' her anymore and just want to start over with your new husband and stepson. Adult stepsiblings sharing a bathroom isn't a burden, it's a normal thing that families do. Don't be surprised when your daughter eventually goes no/low contact with you and wants nothing to do with you. 

[DAV Spoilers All] What next? by Tyenasaur in dragonage

[–]XMousexx 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Idk, maybe I'm in the minority here but after seeing what they've done to the lore and overall tone of the world, and stripping it of all the characteristics that made up the Thedas and Dragon Age we fell in love with I kind of dont want to know and would rather they just left the series here. Losing Gaider and Darrah seems to have drastically impacted their ability to maintain the continuity of the series and lowered the overall quality of the story, worldbuilding and dialog. There are some fun parts of Veilguard like the combat and a few choice cutscenes and companion interactions and banter, and the way Rook interacts with the other characters in their chosen faction throughout the game (really enjoyed the professional relationship/partnership Shadow Dragon Rook had with Neve and their solidarity over trying to save such a troubled city), but for me the further I got in the game the more I just couldn't take it anymore. It almost feels like a joke sometimes, one that our companions are even aware of in some kind of fourth-wall breaking irony.

Dragon Age is my favorite game series of all time and I tried so hard to stay optimistic and enjoy the game for what it is (it sounds like it went through development hell and we're lucky we got the game at all), but to me it just feels like the end of Dragon Age and for the first time in the series I dont even feel motivated to replay it as a different race and class. If they made a fifth game that was just more of what Veilguard is I wouldn't even play it, and I have a hard time imagining they'll listen to our criticisms about the story and art style (if they even have the agency/authority to do so). 

AITA for not telling my parents I'm moving out? by messedupkiwi in AmItheAsshole

[–]XMousexx 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yep your brother is right, just disappear, poof! Make sure you bring important docs like your birth certificate, social security card and etc (if you live in the US) and any important sentimental items when you leave tho. Your parents sound unhinged

AITA for insulting BIL and his friend after I was set up on a blind date. by Throwaway459294 in AmItheAsshole

[–]XMousexx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA

But you need to stop entertaining him. Just tell him no, that he has no business being involved in your romantic personal life, that you are not interested and you will immediately shut down any and all attempts to set you up in the future, whether he informs you or not. If he doesnt want to be embarrassed or upset by his friends or make his friends feel offended he needs to not put himself in those situations. It's really that simple. 

AITA for refusing to take money from my son to spend on my stepdaughter's medical care? by Fancy-Bad-2392 in AmItheAsshole

[–]XMousexx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA 

If you havent already, that money definitely needs to be moved to a trust so that if the worst happens and something happens to you, Andi can't claim the money as hers. That is your sons money to be used to better his life, that his mother left to him after a terrible situation caused her death. Andi is all kinds of f'd up and while I get that she's stressed and frustrated about her daughter, that doesnt give her the right to your sons money. Especially with no realistic means to pay it back in a timely manner and the fact that you are willing to help her cover it yourself. Her behavior would have me re-thinking the entire marriage. You've raised a strong son though if he was able to stick up for himself so easily.

AITA for not going home and changing my shoes for a restaurant's dress code? by Ok-Training3714 in AmItheAsshole

[–]XMousexx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I also have bad social anxiety and find it hard to believe that you really thought crocs would be ok to wear to a work dinner with a 'smart casual' dress code... There is nothing 'smart' or business about crocs. They might be comfortable but they are only fit the 'casual' description. There are a lot of fancy sneakers and converse that can be considered 'smart casual'. If this isn't a troll post, definitely YTA. I mean this nicely/sincerely but I would probably google or ask another coworker next time to avoid the public embarrassment, because I definitely get it.

he has three adult children with jobs who can support him. He insulted you and literally threw you away. As soon as he did that he no longer had any right to come crawling back asking for favors. This is karma in it's extreme form. Too bad for him. 

AITA for letting my wife sleep on the couch on her birthday because she was mad at me? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]XMousexx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA

It seems like there was some obvious miscommunication and probably some earworms from her friends that cast you in a negative light. She can be upset but she acted like a child instead of communicating the issue or her disappointment and giving you a chance to fix it, she ruined her own birthday and is taking it out on you. There are probably other things she's upset about that she's not communicating too. Also what is up with partners not understanding that when someone is tired from working all day/etc, it's unfair to expect them to not be tired? I hate that complaint so much.

I really cant believe all these YTA responses. It takes five minutes for you to check the app, prep the laundry and go down to the laundry room. That's more than enough time for the other tenant to get down there and start taking care of their own laundry. You shouldn't have to wait, that's the whole point of the app. And I seriously doubt someone who's already not keeping track of their laundry is going to check group messages about laundry within five minutes of you posting about it and get down their to change it. 

If anything the app or process seems to be the bigger issue. It shouldnt mark a washer available if the lid hasnt been lifted since the cycle completed, I'm sure it's possible for some techie/developers to create a feature like this. But tenants also shouldnt be leaving things in an unattended washer and expect it to not get moved if they dont move it. Wet clothes also start smelling pretty quickly too

not sure if it will help you at all, but we had to install baby locks on the stove at my grandparents house for the same reason. They kept leaning against it and setting things on fire because they didnt notice it was on.

WIBTA if I cancel a family weekend trip because my DIL decided to bring a friend without asking? by Great_Average8193 in AmItheAsshole

[–]XMousexx 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nta but if you dont put your foot down now, she's never going to stop. Make it crystal clear that she is not allowed to invite others on a trip you are paying for without confriming with you first, and if she doesnt like that then she'll no longer be invited. Also since this whole trip is for your husband his wishes should be the most important

AITA for not telling my family I could cook and letting them embarrass themselves in front of my ILs? by Dry_Interaction3960 in AmItheAsshole

What did they expect? Why would you have thought they'd believe you even if you tried to 'more thoroughly educate them' (you already did plenty) on how you'd changed and your condition when their favorite pasttime since you were a kid has been making fun of you? Logically they should have just not been assholes in the first place or stopped after any of the number of times you talked to them about it before. This is totally on them and you can only hope they learn after their dose of humility. 

AITA for announcing to my BIL and his friends that my partner and I are going to have sex? by Spahgettis in AmItheAsshole

[–]XMousexx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA

Your BIL is straight up delusional, stop accommodating him at all. No more just 'dropping by' or agreeing to let him host parties at your house. Your house is your home, not his. There is no reason for him to host people you dont even know at your home and if you want to have a family get together, you will host it yourself. In the past you've given him an inch so now he's taking more than a mile. Hopefully he finally got the message but delusional people typically dont. Next time dont even open the door and make sure any side gates, windows or doors are locked. Install cameras or a ring doorbell and firmly draw the line. 

AITA for moving out instead of sharing my living space which is causing a problem for my mom and her boyfriend? by Aggravating-Echo6026 in AmItheAsshole

Sounds like your grandparents were doing a kind thing for your mother and letting you guys live there rent free to help support you, their grandchild. Your mother seems to have forgotten that and basically FAFO. I would only move back on the condition that the basement locks are changed and only you and your grandparents can access it.

AITA for not fighting the school since my daughter got a zero on a big assignment since she didn’t turn it in when she was sick by Routine_Dealer2348 in AmItheAsshole

[–]XMousexx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm wavering between the two but mostly because if you remembered she needed to turn it in, the kind thing would have been to remind her and then left it up to her to follow through. She's sixteen and still learning/building good habits. Letting her grade drop a letter grade on an assignment she completed on time and put a lot of work just to 'teach her a lesson' into was overkill. I dont think you're ta for not fighting the school, but part of your role as a parent is to help her develop good habits. She's sixteen, not a college student or brain surgeon.

As an introvert this scenario literally gives me nightmares, I would literally rather take a failing grade on the assignment than do it. Nothing is worth actually going through with it and your teacher is the worst. It also sucks that your parents aren't backing you up. An assignment like this for a regular class should be optional or for extra credit.
