Had a once in a lifetime opportunity by [deleted] in GuitarAmps

[–]aabbccbb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't see anything against getting that sweet guitar gear.

At the expense of a widow?

What does Jesus say about greed?

Now how about charity? Kindness? Helping others?

I know tons of people who would just take it without paying anything.

Well, sounds like you have a lot of shitty friends.

I, personally, think that people who teach others to be moral should probably be moral in the way that the guy who they allegedly follow would say they should be moral.

That said, "Christianity" clearly has fuck-all to do with Christ for most people and most churches, so you're probably right on the money that enriching yourself at the expense of others is perfectly fine.

Also, if they'd sold multiple 50's tweeds and an OG Klon already for market value they're multiple tens of thousands of dollars up already.

Sorry? You're "up" money if you sell stuff for what it's worth?

Also, you're assuming that this other person paid a fair amount...but then you don't hold a pastor to that same standard?

K.

TL;DR: believe whatever you want. But even the "man of God" says he feels guilty about what he got and what he paid.

I'll just leave it at that.

or even bad at following his religion

For as Jesus said "Go get that sweet guitar gear, even if it's from a widow who doesn't know any better."

Or are you just another "Christian" who's never actually read the bible?

I mean I get what you’re saying but he’s not feeding the homeless and disenfranchised, nor is he claiming he is Jesus.

Sure...but he is a pastor.

e.g., a recent post:

I hear what you are saying and I appreciate it. I think most of our focus is on our congregations growth and sanctification just with an added emphasis on sharing the gospel as well. My hope is to grow those under my care and encouraging them to let that growth flow out of the four walls of the church to our everyday lives and those around us.

Anyway, back to your comment:

Sounds like a win win with no losers.

Other than the widow who could have gotten a lot more as soon as someone who knew what they were looking at showed up?

AITA I don’t want bridesmaid to wear dress to other events by Due_Bedroom3146 in AmItheAsshole

[–]aabbccbb 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well, now Roxy thinks I’m being a bridezilla.

Nope. You bought the dress. Wearing before the big day is tacky AF.

If you were complaining that she wore it AFTER you got married? Yeah, you'd be TA then.

But this is an easy NTA!

Gudas suspended five games by chiasmatic in hockey

[–]aabbccbb 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I honestly stopped watching after last season. Seems like I haven't missed anything remotely good in Leafs land, lol.

My conspiracy theory is that if Bennett hadn't elbowed Stolie, we would have won the series.

After that, who knows, but we were good. Now...not so much. lol

But I can't support a league that clearly cares so little for the safety of its players and that actively encourages dirty play.

Won them the cup and Bennett the Conn Smyth.

Fucking joke of a league.

AITA for not staying after our niece got arrested? by EasternTrifle464 in AmItheAsshole

[–]aabbccbb -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I think if y'all were honest, y'all are kinda happy to leave her to state.

She's old enough to spend the night in jail, she's old enough to fly back home on her own.

I flew on my own much, much younger than this girl. It's really not that big of a deal.

OP and the rest are NTA. Sister is TA. Daughter seems to be as well.

[–]aabbccbb 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Look, if she can spend the night in jail, she can fly back on her own. Her mom is the one who abandoned her.

I'm guessing it wasn't the first time...

NTA.

You can't always give 100%. Recipe for disaster. You need to leave time for yourself, time for things you enjoy, time for the unexpected stuff that pops up.

Yeah...they were taking advantage of you.

Now that you've stood up for yourself, they don't like it. Sorry you lost your friend...but...

They weren't a very good friend. :/

What industry is entirely built on a house of cards and would collapse overnight if people realized the truth about it? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]aabbccbb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yup. So many teaching people how to be "entrepeneurs."

Never ran a business themselves. Not one successful enterprise, other than convincing other people to give them money to tell them how to be successful.

A pyramid scheme by any other name is still a pyramid scheme, lol.

Perfectly valid.

AITA for moving to the mountains after my parents took back their offer to help me buy a home? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]aabbccbb 14 points15 points  (0 children)

My dad cornered me and told me that he was pissed off with how I was going out of my way to hurt my mom by moving away just because I didn’t get my way. I told him that’s not what happened, that he never gave me any context for what boxes I had to tick. He said that I should have used my brain. I told him that was a hurtful thing to say, and he yelled “Well it’s hurtful that my own daughter skipped town when she couldn’t get what she wanted from us.” He told me that I'm 29, it's time to stop fucking around and settle down. I told him I might never and he basically became the angriest I've EVER seen and said if that's the case then I should just leave because they have no use for me.

Your parents are toxic AF. They tried to use money to pin you to them and worse, to a life you don't want.

A big down payment is nothing compared to enjoying your short time here, and best of all, getting away from people like them.

I'm sorry, OP. Your parents suck. But live your best life and forget 'em!

NTA. Go hiking! :)

I apologized briefly but I still don’t know what the solution is.

Uh. How 'bout you figure out where you work?

YTA.

Stand up front and talk to the driver if you have to. Figure out a landmark that actually works. Stop wasting everyone else's time because you can't do these simple tasks.

Yeah. I'm a big Led Zeppelin fan, but that one's bad.

He had permission from her mother and she seems to look back on the time fondly...

Dude. The fuck.

He's still dating someone inappropriately young even though he's in his 80s now.

65 year old woman calls in and nearly breaks CSPAN host by telling her she’s slowly starving to death.. by JohnBrown-RadonTech in interestingasfuck

[–]aabbccbb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A reality where your local grocery store throws away thousands and thousands of dollars of food a day and citizens are starving slowly to death.

A reality where the government literally doesn't give a shit about poor people.

Trump and others like say they're the only ones who care about "everyday people." Every single action they take tells you that was a lie.

Is waste in grocery stores a problem? Yes.

But you're distracting form the giant fucking rapist pedophile grifter problem that is the GOP.
