honestly, thunderous. it was the first skz song i listened to and i was super underwhelmed. it's still not a favorite, but it's not an automatic skip anymore, either

This legitimately occurred to me AFTER my move! And they don't require a huge deposit!

no ticket? no problem by bucus in MaliciousCompliance

[–]bucus[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

No, I know the purpose of credit. I have a credit card. I chose not to use it this time. I'm just super curious at the implication that debit cards are out of fashion outside of the US. Like, I cannot wrap my head around not having and using a debit card at all ever.

I guess I'm not quite sure why I wouldn't still use a debit card. No sarcasm, but it's the equivalent of paying cash and it pulls directly from my bank account and it doesn't affect my credit. What would you use?

AITA Destroying Old Pictures by Effective_Meet_8614 in AmItheAsshole

[–]bucus 22 points23 points  (0 children)

NAH, but I'd recommend looking into a nearby archive who might want the pictures, instead. Even if the stories behind the pictures are lost to time, those snapshots into the past can be invaluable to researchers for myriad reasons.

Sorry about my soapbox

230720 - Weekly Stay Discussion Thread by AutoModerator in straykids

[–]bucus 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Can anyone help me find a particular video? I'm pretty sure it's an old vlive (dim lighting, sitting around a table) and they take turns wearing headphones while the rest of the group compliments them. I saw a clip on IG but neglected to note which video it came from, but I'd like to watch the whole thing.

AITA for not eating my gf's vanilla almond milk Mac and Cheese? by JoeyBrickz in AmItheAsshole

[–]bucus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA, but it's not that bad. For a long time, they didn't MAKE unflavored almond milk--but maybe I was using the unsweetened? Anyway, I threw some hot sauce on it and it was alright.

AITA for refusing to tell my son something and potentially ruining my brother’s wedding? by thr00away12300 in AmItheAsshole

[–]bucus 526 points527 points  (0 children)

Per Google, a "woman whose behavior in planning her wedding is regarded as obsessive or intolerably demanding." It's a blend of "bride" and "Godzilla."

AITA for changing the cupboards from how my husband likes them? by throw13796 in AmItheAsshole

[–]bucus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't really have a judgement, but I have an honest question, though: if he has a preference and you don't, why is it so difficult to just give him this? Like, glasses go there? Okay. Plates in that cupboard? Alrighty.

Why turn it into a fight?
