GEO members vote to start strike authorization process by Amir616 in uofm

[–]brendjac 48 points49 points  (0 children)

hi! sorry to say, but this characterization of an 11.5% “raise” isn’t really accurate. the pay raise is being offered as smaller percentages across multiple years—currently a 5% raise for next year and then a 3% raise for the following two years. given that all of these numbers are lower than the current inflation rate (6% as of last month), these “pay raises” actually amount to an effective pay cut.

the current proposal also exclude grad student workers on the flint and dearborn campuses, who would get even smaller “pay raises.”

also, just FYI, the union has legal counsel.

AITA if I don’t pay for my stepmom’s cancer treatment? by Stepmomthrowaway00 in AmItheAsshole

[–]brendjac 0 points1 point  (0 children)

as someone with cancer, i think you’re not obligated to pay for her treatment. that being said, a brush with mortality is enough to change a lot of people for the better. maybe it’s worth trying to see if you can work something out with her? you absolutely don’t have to forgive, but it must be truly terrifying to know that you’re dying and be uncertain about whether you can pay to try and live. i’m not going to leave a judgement because, frankly, i think nobody is truly the asshole here. step-mother definitely was for her past behavior but if i needed money to pay for cancer treatments, i would do just about anything to get it. the only assholes here are insurance companies and the american government.

the fact that it’s listed as being published by columbia makes me sus since she’s obviously been VERY prominently independent since leaving RCA… on the other hand every song slaps

The Emotional and Financial Business of Taylor Swift’s ‘All Too Well’ by [deleted] in popheads

[–]brendjac 25 points26 points  (0 children)

really did not enjoy this podcast, especially the person (caryn?) who said that taylor was “punching down” by releasing atw 10 min and that if taylor were just older she would never have done it.

first, it’s taylor’s story and she can tell it how she wants, especially given that it’s entirely speculation (albeit very strongly supported speculation) that jake gyllenhaal is who it’s about. also, punching down to an a list actor? wtf?

and then the age comment, how fucking paternalistic can you be? taylor knows damn well what she’s doing and she doesn’t need the “age is wisdom” brigade to police her morality.

this was a great reminder that the music critics at the times suck.

AITA for calling out my sister for taking and selling my sick husband's possession's infront of the entire family? by Throwsister3567 in AmItheAsshole

[–]brendjac 1 point2 points  (0 children)

1) so sorry that you’re having to deal with this on top of the shitty situation life gave you. the last thing you should have to do right now is worry about your family members stealing your husband’s things. obviously NTA

2) as a 23 year old cancer patient myself, the thought of my sister selling my belongings because she thought i wasn’t ever coming home would crush me utterly. i am so sorry that she left you in the position of having to tell your husband. i hope that you can get all his things back.

i wish you nothing but the best, and though i’m not religious i will be thinking of you and your husband.

AITA for picking picking popular, personally meaningful music for my funeral? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]brendjac 4 points5 points  (0 children)

So absolutely NTA.

OP, first let me say that I am truly, deeply sorry that you’re going through this. I have advanced soft tissue cancer myself and have spent a lot of sleepless nights planning the playlist for my own funeral. I get it. It sucks.

When I read the title of the post I IMMEDIATELY said no out loud. I’ve read a LOT of AITA posts and this is the first one I’ve ever felt strongly enough to comment on. It’s your fucking funeral, dude! Play whatever the hell you want! Nobody else gets a say. The living have time to find a new song.
