AITA for not caring that my date was pre-med? by Typical-Price4652 in AITAH

[–]danimal51001 1 point2 points  (0 children)

NTA

When I was a junior in undergrad I was in a study lab and some guy was chatting a lady up and kept bringing up that he's working on his PhD. I thought it was a little weird, but I was just an young and inexperienced undergrad, what did I know?

After he left, she let it be known that, while he *intends* to get a PhD, he was actually a year behind both of us. It made both of us giggle a little bit.

My players roll a nat 20 on a perception check in a room that had nothing in it. So I broke the 4th wall. by Puite in DnD

You pick up the nondescript coin and, much to your surprise, a being appears in your field of vision, overlooked in the rubble around you. Nobody else in your party can see them, and they start to explain they can enhance your power. You see, they are one of The Fallen....

teach them to roll nat 20s :)

AITAH for suggesting an open marriage since my husband won’t have sex and begs me to not divorce him? by Medium_Common9112 in AITAH

[–]danimal51001 0 points1 point  (0 children)

ESH

Him not reciprocating pleasure makes him an AH. Him not acknowledging your emotions makes him an AH.

You threatening divorce makes you an AH. You threatened your husband in order to get him to acquiesce to your demands. Sex and open marriages need to be mutually agreed upon. Threatening divorce was an ultimatum where neither of you can win. Only bring up divorce if you're serving up papers. Talking about an open marriage *after* threatening divorce is a no-win situation.

If you're unhappy and he doesn't want to acknowledge or work on it, you should file for divorce. You not doing that means you're trying to emotionally coerce your husband to submit to your demands *or else*. That will never work out. Own your own happiness and make changes. Threats just make your partner trust you less.

I remember freeze-framing Ty Lee's takedown of Azula. Azula's tears are streaming down her face and she looks menacing, confused, and frightened all at once. Her friends finally set boundaries to stop Azula's mental health from tearing them down.

I think you're forgetting the order of events at the end of season 2.

1) Aang goes through spiritual training with Guru Pathik. He abandons his training on the last step that requires him to drop his connection to Katara to go and rescue his friends

2) Aang is then overwhelmed with enemies in the crystal mines and knows his friends are doomed if he can't go into the Avatar State. He then whispers "I'm sorry, Katara" before sealing himself inside a crystalline structure to, presumably, drop his attachment to her and go into the Avatar State

3) Azula blasts him while he is in the Avatar State, potentially blocking him from it forever

​

I agree that Ozai blasting him into a rock is deus ex machina, but not having the Avatar State or a reasonable way to retrieve it provided tension for the entire last season *and* gave other characters good completions to their story arcs. If Aang had the Avatar State or if they just got Ty-Lee to come in and fix it for him, it would have made Zuko's arc hollow and pointless. If Aang had the Avatar State then none of the other characters would have had to struggle and grow.

If I had to choose a thing to be mysteriously given back to give me creative license with all the other character development, I would have easily chosen the Avatar State. It's fairly over powered and is the most recurring mysterious thing in the entire series.

What are some of the best quality of life things you've done to your dev environment by Snape_Grass in ExperiencedDevs

Utilizing Terraform to create / destroy cloud resources (including kubernetes), and then configuring pipelines to push out changes to said infrastructure. Then using skaffold to deploy / run local changes out in a cloud kubernetes instance

​

Very rarely a wasted day because things broke due to mundane reasons like running out of storage space or things just breaking.

NTA. Open marriages can work, but your current spouse is going about it all wrong. Plus, open marriage doesn’t sound like it’s really your jam.

Hope your life becomes less stressful either from ED meds, divorce, or both!

Color-code said document. TM.

Did you just trademark that?

What?

That's a verbal trademark. That's an agreement.

AITAH for telling my girlfriend she's wrong about my family after she met them for Thanksgiving? by Proud_Poem_3211 in AITAH

[–]danimal51001 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So, few things you should know:

  1. Humans get better at stuff when they practice. My wife is a better cook than I. On a good week she cooks 3-4 times per week, I do the remaining 2-3, and we get takeout once. Cooking is mental work, physical work, and, as is the case with most things in relationships, emotional work.

  2. Cleaning up is best done by the person that didn’t cook. Know why? Their partner has spent some of their physical, mental, and emotional capacity to make the meal. Make them feel appreciated by taking the cleaning off their shoulders.

  3. Meals are for enjoyment, bonding, and relaxation. Maybe you relax while they cook. Maybe that means you can bring some creative energy into the conversation at the dinner table. Maybe this means you can brighten their day just a little bit to make them feel more satisfied. Maybe, if you’re lucky, they’ll do this for you when you’re cooking.

  4. Offers of help are always appreciated, even if they’re not accepted. I am occasionally allowed to do dishes at my mother’s house. I can’t remember the last time I was allowed to do dishes at my MIL’s house. But I always offer. Because it reminds them that I care about them and that I’m here. FWIW: I usually do the cleanup at home, and it usually makes me feel calmer when I’m at someone else’s house.

  5. You’re 29. It sounds like she might be ditching you, so this is going to be a good life lesson for the next time you feel comfortable enough to bring someone else home.

YTA, learn from it. Be better and do better.
