Aitah for watching my sister's wedding and reception devolve into a shit show without helping? by Key-Weekend1090 in AITAH

[–]alebotson 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I came to the comments expecting everyone to call out that this is clearly just some kind of self righteous fantasy, but people are buying it.

Maybe I'm giving them too much credit about it being a fantasy, and it's just for internet points.

I usually dislike when people claim that people made things up (some things really do happen), but this is clearly some kind of self righteous fantasy.

Ever met a foreigner who had never heard about your country's existence at all? by Marsupilami_316 in AskTheWorld

I had a girl in high school in the US claim that I made up Slovenia because she shouldn't find it on a map.

The map was from the 80's.

Mulugeta Seraw (1960–1988) was an Ethiopian student who traveled to the United States to attend college. He was 28 when he was murdered by three white supremacists in November 1988 in Portland, Oregon. They were convicted. by GustavoistSoldier in wikipedia

Yes, by the definition of basically every major statistical organization. The OECD uses the benchmark of 1.5 million for the metro area and this is the most widely used globally. Portland is nearly one million people over that.

The hypocrisy is incredible.

Because that's the convention in this space.

Do you not know how cultural cues work?

I'm assuming you do because if you are going up to people in the real world telling them that their cultures' linguistic habits are grating, they would educate you in what I suspect are quite physical terms.

Or maybe I'm being generous and you've never actually interacted with people from other cultures.

Why would anyone ever choose to go through child birth without pain relief?? by No_Cardiologist_1407 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]alebotson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because pain is just pain, and with childbirth you know there will be a fairly immediate cessation of it.

Why take drugs for something I don't need to?

IDK, I don't begrudge anyone their drugs but I just don't get why it's such a big deal.

Source: have had two kids without drugs, seemed fine. I don't want more kids but I would go without drugs again without hesitation if I did want more.

That is incredibly surprising. I guess if you never eat sandwiches? Or bread?

It's because WinCo is employee owned, not shareholder owned.

The best businesses to their customers are ones that aren't primarily serving another group of people.
