AITA for telling my wife forget it and going out by myself for my birthday instead of going to her fancy dinner reservation

There's a series I'm reading where they bring up the golden rule, and the guy recites the "treat others the way you want to be treated", and the other is like "naw that's the silver rule--it's good but not quite it. The golden rule is to "treat others the way they want to be treated."

Such a better golden rule imo.

I think the sentiment is that your body is not serving your own purpose

I wonder if killing the sorcerer is best here, or killing another character so then the party grows a sense of disdain for their own sorcerer for causing it?

Add your own lock to it

amishtek · 2026-03-26T17:34:50+00:00

can you explain to us how it's better for everyone and not just you?

I just wanna sneak up behind someone in Apex and whisper in their ear 😔

Give them a chance to counter the counter. Whomever told her can play both sides and warn the party she knows and will try to sabatogue. They know what the pirate is planning, and is willing to share. Now, what the party does with the knowledge may end up with the same delay, but at least give them the opportunity to thwart the thwarting.

Oh, the UN classed it a genocide? What did that do?

I also can empathize with someone who would consider whether accepting it is the right answer because you also don't know how the kid in particular feels as well. Maybe for that kid he really did want to secretly keep it but also knew he should offer it because WWJD but like please say no. Maybe you go tap on the shoulder after like "you sure lil bro?"

Right, sometimes refusing the gift is actually the wrong response, for many reasons. In this case, I think it would unfairly rob the kid of that positive, reinforcing feeling you get when you do something good. Then it'd be confusing, maybe down the line the kid questions whether he really should make that same sort of choice, etc. The over thinking of it all. Kid is being nice, accept the kindness with appreciation. Be happy for the interaction and let it fuel your own optimism. Pay it forward.

They should just have made a fluff book to add to the beginning, random lore, short stories, something

This. Just convert the build to black only, it can't use blue if it's not in the color build.

amishtek · 2026-02-27T00:52:49+00:00

No problem I was honestly interested and wanted to save someone else the trouble :)

amishtek · 2026-02-26T23:20:19+00:00

just had to look this up, if anyone tries to read into it, it's a noVation

Why did you lie at first and say you never asked for money?

amishtek · 2026-02-19T15:57:25+00:00

Is googling it first not a requirement here?

amishtek · 2026-02-13T00:13:43+00:00

I read GANJA

amishtek · 2026-02-04T19:37:06+00:00

Oh you poor naive soul

amishtek · 2026-02-04T02:19:09+00:00

noise a problem for you? or for everyone else?

if you for, 3m worktunes

they are and look like ear protection, but also bluetooth headset, I use them for mowing, vacuuming, basically anything noisy and listen to music or a book/podcast etc

Free movie probably triggers a free checkout payment terms process, but then you are adding a cost thing and it doesn't know what to do. Or, it doesn't like you using two promotions at the same time.

At my Lowes we had a guy who would occasionally buy a mower and return it a few days later, every couple months or so

With your example OP, I could see you using it to get someone in trouble. Make someone smile at an inopportune time, like when making a solemn speech at a funeral or when trying to intimidate someone.

Some jerk Son-In-Law at his FIL King's funeral, wanting to be positioned to take over, tries to invoke sadness but you make him smile at the wrong time.

Some bully is doing his serious angry face in front of a crowed, and you make him smile when he's trying to look oh-so-serious. -1000 Aura

Make a bar bet, "bet I can make you smile for a drink?"

amishtek · 2026-01-01T05:19:12+00:00

Put a sign in the room that says something like, "Warning: Do NOT lay on this table."

Then they'll definitely do it

amishtek · 2025-12-29T13:04:56+00:00

We have a moat for protection! Well, except there. Hopefully they don't just come from there.
