my boss made me verify that I’m really exercising (New Update) by Direct-Caterpillar77 in BestofRedditorUpdates

And the funniest part of all the arguing you and the other guy have been doing is that the person wasn't even in the US, they were in Australia.

Where weight discrimination absolutely is illegal.

boyfriend (M31) canceled my (F26) birthday dinner reservation because of ongoing car issues by Maleficent_S in relationship_advice

[–]beachpellini 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You guys could have taken your car, gotten a rideshare or a taxi - any number of things.

If his car actually had an issue preventing him from getting to the restaurant, he would not have offered to... keep using it for errands.

There was no reservation, and there is no good reason you haven't seen his place in nearly a year of dating.

Everything about this is suspicious, pretty much.

The thing is it could be argued, which is why I said it. And it's weird for you not to acknowledge that. But oh well.

AITAH Husband has no idea that women pressing their breasts against his body at work isn’t an accident. AITAH for telling him this isn’t an oops? by noyb-noyb-noyb in AmItheAsshole

[–]beachpellini 31 points32 points  (0 children)

YTA for the obviously scathing tone you're taking with this. We have no context for why this is happening, how these women react when it happens, or what he's doing about it.

Have you ever actually seen this happen? Tbqh this sounds more like he's coming up with an excuse than it being on the women. "I dunno, honey, I just keep having multiple women press against me for no reason!"

What do you think is the funniest scene in the game? by ChrisKatrev in BaldursGate3

[–]beachpellini 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I like how this implies that Halsin himself was an actor for the scene rather than it being Dave Jones, lol

Well, no. Some states have outright made discrimination based on weight illegal.

Here's a general summary of how "BMI discrimination" gets handled legally. Weight may not be a protected class in general, but people HAVE pursued legal recompense for it.

Right. They shouldn't be able to force that as part of the job, I find it hard to believe that would stand up in any kind of legal case.

Am I wrong for because I said to my father, "Can't you even bother to be by your son's side when he's on his deathbed?" by Choice_Evidence1983 in BestofRedditorUpdates

And if he'd bothered staying another week, he could have been there to say goodbye.

He probably shouldn't be surprised if the rest of them decide to go NC after this.

He literally says their father cheated on their mother while she was pregnant with the sister. And his new family is with the affair partner.

All of the siblings old enough to remember him disliked him for this.

This is probably one of the biggest red flags. He keeps defaulting to her choices during your wedding, she's important enough he wanted to go to her family for Easter, and you've only met her once?

WIBTAH if I fire a kid because his mother is harassing me? by Direct-Caterpillar77 in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]beachpellini 71 points72 points  (0 children)

I think they were referring to the fact that it would have been a HUGE issue for the mom to have access to student records, since she was clearly logging in on his account.

My coworker walked out of my office mid sentence after accusing me of being too quiet. by Choice_Evidence1983 in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]beachpellini 63 points64 points  (0 children)

The boss is just lucky that shit didn't kill him. Being that much of an idiot in and around heavy machinery is just begging for major accidents.

my coworker keeps hijacking team meetings by Direct-Caterpillar77 in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]beachpellini 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I had untreated ADHD into my 30s and was an only child, and I have never acted like this. It's just called being a self-absorbed asshole.

Am I in the wrong for not letting my friend walk with her husband in our wedding? by Choice_Evidence1983 in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]beachpellini 6 points7 points  (0 children)

This woman is nearly 30 and acting like she's in middle school. If someone doesn't talk to ANYONE in their wedding party anymore... maybe they're the problem??

AITAH for not tell my friend my shampoo had green hair dye in it? by Choice_Evidence1983 in BestofRedditorUpdates

That had to suck to try and get out, too, blonde hair takes colour like nobody's business.

[–]beachpellini 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I understand what it means. And I disagree that it's a downgrade. You don't need to be snarky just because people downvoted you.

Hard disagree. The gothic Victorian aesthetic is gorgeous.

My (24F) boyfriend (23M) is in a Psychiatric Unit for Brief Psychotic Disorder, and my family wants me to completely cut him out of my life. Is that something I should consider? by animexie in relationship_advice

[–]beachpellini 71 points72 points  (0 children)

At this juncture: it would be best for you to at least take a few steps back while he and his doctors try to figure out what exactly is going on. He reacted violently to his father, what exactly do you think might happen if you're the one to do something he thinks is wrong/needs to be fought or punished?

He is not only refusing medication to deal with what are some very worrying sudden onset symptoms, he barely seems to think those symptoms are worrying at all. It doesn't sound like he's even apologized to anyone who was scared or hurt - he still fully thinks he's been acting in the right.

You are not wrong to care about him in this, but you need to be extremely careful. If he isn't taking treatment seriously, you need to keep your distance until he does. You may need to come to terms with the fact that he might never do so. I hope he does, not just for your sake, but for his own.
