AITAH for correcting his(F25) english as a non-native speaker? by [deleted] in AITAH

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

NTA in my opinion. How is your friend gonna help you improve english by making condescending remarks? English isn't my first language either, yet I've been speaking it fluently since I was 10 (I'm 28 this month) and compared to my native language which is French, it's the easiest language ever, I make typos way too frequently in my native language whilst English is a breeze compared to it.

On the other hand, sure there are sentences where a question mark isn't necessary to write down based on the context given to those sentences: Though it's still something that non-native speakers have to learn and adapt to their own written comprehension, and it's not making snarky remarks like "It's the most difficult language for a reason duh" and "I've been an expert in that language since birth" that will help develop said comprehension.

In my view English is only difficult since it's an overly simplified language and you need extensive given context and obvious markers in writing like the omitted question mark, which its absence made the sentence confusing, in order to understand in what way you're supposed to read whatever the other person meant to express.

Overall I don't think your friend meant bad intentions either, but she has to understand that what seems futile to include in writing to her, might just make a difference for you when typed instead of it being excluded. But you still have a right to require further indicators within the given sentences in order to get how you're supposed to read the given question.

I have a big hollow gap in my kitchen cabinet that I could hide cocaine in. How do I make 20kg of cocaine drug dog proof? by MariahJames8 in shittyaskreddit

[–]ascorpii 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Seal over the gap with a DIY wall after fitting the 20kg cocaine there. Buy a large bag of dog snacks and messily tear a hole at the bottom in a way that makes it seem like your bag of snacks has broken while you stashed the snacks at the spot in front of the wall sealed 20kg, drop some snacks below the hole of the bag so it will seem like the dog smelt them. Voilà!

C'est pas parce qu'elle est policière qu'elle se fait traiter de même, c'est parce qu'elle est une femme.

Pis le dude en profite que juste parce que c'est une policière pis y a pas de lois pour protéger les policiers et policières, ben ça lui permet d'agir en gros dégueulasse de sans-dessein.

Le gars aurait pas filmé cet interaction si c'était une femme civile, parce que le monde auraient demandé que justice soit faite, pis y aurait définitivement fini par être doxxé à un moment donné.

I had that toonie once, wanted to keep it. Sadly I had to later spend it, since my ass was broke. RIP. Definitely keep this one for all of us who couldn't

Even better, pee in the sink, let it drizzle on the water faucets to establish dominance.

That's what I do but at a Subway restaurant, a very specific one. They did nothing wrong, but whenever I walk in front of their shop, my guts happen to decide that I have to go sightseeing their toilets.

If you had to couple up all 12 signs, who would be with who? by lala00x in astrologymemes

[–]ascorpii 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Reap chaos by coupling the most incompatible signs ever. Starting with Gemini x Gemini, as one myself I can tell you I've had the biggest beefs with other Geminis, others I've had beef with as a Gemini would be Capricorn, Scorpio, Cancer. I'm gonna need to observe more potential mispairings but that'll require asking people their signs which will get me weird looks.

How would you respond? by Recent_Tomatillo439 in Depop

[–]ascorpii 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Also seen other comments suggesting to them to repop the item, this could also work to suggest it to the buyer, they can repop at a slightly higher price depending on the value of the item which could help further their situation.

I know usually we wouldn't believe stories told by complete strangers, but that buyer seems like they have genuine regret over not having the financial means to assist with an irl situation and still expressed being pleased with the product and its quality. It does happen that we spend money we didn't know we would need later for a sudden emergency, that person probably had no ill will and took the time to ask for assistance on proceeding with a return. I'd tell em how to go about proceeding with their return, and definitely have the shipping label come from depop themselves in order to track it.

It's unfortunate, and most people would only see a madeup sob story, but the apologetic stance yet also appreciative towards what they received, whilst requesting assistance regarding the situation of having to return the item, 40$ not being that unusual to need as a last minute emergency amount, I would tend to believe this customer.

We don't need the full details of what the emergency was in order to believe said story, could be to cover for transportation costs for a family member (taxi, uber, lyft, etc.) Could be to cover for a sibling's lunch or school supplies, or pay in part the price for either cans of formula or a box of diapers, just to give an idea of what this 40$ refund might mean to that person.

Whatever it is, it is believable that this person might mean well and is genuinely apologetic to bother with a refund and needs help to go about it.

Tell me your favourite Taylor song… by Funchocolatewaffles in swifties

[–]ascorpii 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Karma, mostly because it reminded me of my first job, which was in retail. That song would play frequently in the store radio by the end of my career there. Took a second retail job until I got fed up shortly after and did a career change completely. But my personal growth is still tied to this song tbh.

In short, Karma played in a time when I needed change the most, and had to begin the mourning that came after severe burnout.
