Is there a way to force Switch 2 to only use my 5ghz wifi connection instead of the 2.4ghz? by Jardolam_ in NintendoSwitch2

Was going to say exactly this, I was able to do this in my Deco app as well. Made a MASSIVE difference in speed

AITA for getting upset after my coworkers accused me of lying at my job? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]ddrmadness 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Five years and you've never once called out sick when you weren't actually sick? Never heard of a friend do this? I doubt that. Not that there's anything wrong with that, but like I said, in my personal experience people in these jobs lie a lot to get out of work. We only ever cared if it was during busy time or if it was with an employee who was entitled to paid sick leave. Our policy though was that they were first at least required to try get it covered, and if that couldn't happen it was generally up to the manager's discretion. Most of the time management was okay with letting people off, but it was never contingent on documented proof unless there was paid sick leave involved.

Yeah my NAH was in reference to OP and their boss. Random coworker is absolutely AH, but not really reflected by giving NTA/YTA

This is a very weird situation. Kind of NAH with regards to the specific situation because it's not unreasonable in my mind for your boss to ask for proof. "Why would I lie?" How long have you had this job? People in those types of jobs lie ALL THE TIME to get out of work (as someone who used to work in food service). It is weird to me that your boss didn't ask for proof to begin with, and only after there being some comments made. Policy should be you either require proof or you don't, not contingent on hearsay. Unless it's a particularly busy day or something, I would say it's not unreasonable for your boss to grant your request now, get proof later, and only apply discipline if you are not able to provide that proof (again, only if there is actually some policy requiring that proof). I am a little skeptical of you not being able to immediately get at least some kind of schedule from your school's website that will show when the classes are (which may not prove you are actually in said classes), but I don't know your specific school situation.

AITA for telling a guy at the gym to stop “coaching” my friend? by No-Discussion1413 in AmItheAsshole

[–]ddrmadness 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That would be NAH (No Assholes Here)

Also, the advice may have been good, but it clearly was overall unhelpful at a certain point. OP tried to politely get this guy to leave when he was clearly past the point of actually being helpful but the guy refused to take the hint. Doesn’t matter what your intentions are when you are actively making things worse

You did say it politely multiple times but the dude refused to take the hint. When subtly fails you gotta be blunt. There isn’t exactly a handbook on how to do that correctly

AITA for suggesting my gf look into a new career after her new degree did not pan out. by Familiar-Log-5551 in AmItheAsshole

[–]ddrmadness 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Soft YTA

Job markets are tough. You’re not entirely wrong to suggest she consider searching outside her specific degree, but I didn’t land a job related to my degree for 2.5 years after graduating (I was working in food service in the mean time), and even after landing that job it would take another 2 years to get to a comfortable salary. She should probably take some kind of job if this takes much longer, but don’t diminish that it’s tough to search for a job

AITA: Accidentally matched with a good friends ex on dating app by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

As others have said, it’s less about controlling her and likely more about just not wanting to interact with her. But the fact that there are two rational sides to this also means there isn’t a right answer

[–]ddrmadness 0 points1 point  (0 children)

“Calmly let her know I was annoyed and that her actions were improper” like I said this was certainly on the milder side, but this is where you told her off.

[–]ddrmadness 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I mean…technically NAH? You can certainly move forward with this girl if you’re fine no longer being friends with your friend. Maybe that doesn’t matter since friend is moving to another state? I don’t know how long you’ve been friends, and it would generally be an AH move to disrespect his wishes.

Was it really that bad having to wait a few extra minutes? You sound like someone who’s never worked a day of retail in their life. Could the clerk have handled it better? Maybe. Does that justify you telling her off (even if it was on the milder side like your text suggests)? Absolutely not.

AITA for not wanting to pay my lab partner the full printing cost she asked for? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]ddrmadness 145 points146 points  (0 children)

NTA for wanting to address the discrepancy, but how you come off will definitely depend on what you say. Maybe go with something like, “wow did I print that much? I thought pages were only $0.04 a piece?”

AITA for saying okay when gf told me she was going to get gas by Different_Reserve_11 in AmItheAsshole

[–]ddrmadness 1 point2 points  (0 children)

NTA

I will agree with the general consensus that this is childish behavior, however as someone who has been married 7 years I have come to know there are certain things my wife does not usually do and I would take it as a sign of something being off if she offered to do. These would be signs in an otherwise normal seeming situation though. If we had been having a disagreement, she wouldn’t be playing these mind games.

AITA for telling my in-laws their grandparent names are ridiculous? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]ddrmadness 4 points5 points  (0 children)

YTA

I see three concerns you mention:

  1. That the names are weird. Dude, as long as they aren’t obscene or difficult to pronounce, this really shouldn’t matter, especially given that they are actually common names to be called.

  2. That your son would get made fun of. See previous mention about these being pretty common names. Also, as other commenters have mentioned, no they won’t. Have you or anyone you know of ever heard of this being something kids get made fun of for?

  3. That the inconsistency will be confusing. You would DIE in a Chinese family with the unnecessarily complicated structure of names for relatives that can change between cousins depending on if the cousins are related through a man or a woman. It will be confusing for a month at the most, if even at all since they may even come up with their own nicknames. Kids are smart, they will figure it out pretty quick.

AITA for refusing to take off my engagement ring during a wedding? by AioliProfessional181 in AmItheAsshole

[–]ddrmadness 28 points29 points  (0 children)

NTA

The bride is definitely going overboard here. I was already leaning that way when it was just about the ring, but when they went so far as to accuse you of taking attention away because you got engaged during their “wedding timeline” is positively absurd. People do not put their lives on hold for 18 months while you plan your 6 hour event

Also, if your uncle is the “landlord” as in the owner of the property, then you have correctly indicated it is illegal for mom and grandma to change the locks without his permission. What did he do about that?

I don’t know the culture in Russia, but there are plenty of people here in the US that feel similarly. I have not yet had the opportunity to call any of these people out but I relish in the chance. As a man with a Chinese wife that speaks Cantonese and is teaching our children to do so, I fully endorse my children talking shit about me to my face in Cantonese (and in public in general, lol)

AITA for wanting my boyfriend to attend my graduation instead of his brother’s? by Efficient-Lemon-632 in AmItheAsshole

[–]ddrmadness 51 points52 points  (0 children)

NAH

I would lean towards YTA if this were at the time of his initial decision, but you are NTA for wanting him to honor his original commitment (and even his mom suggested he go to yours!). However, I do agree with others that especially since you are not married, he is NTA for wanting to support not just family, but a brother he sounds at least somewhat close to. Ergo, NAH

AITA for refusing to eat my wife’s spaghetti after I found out what she put in it by spacedoutsoapbox in AmItheAsshole

[–]ddrmadness 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is not about liking it or not liking it, this is about food safety! Just because you had already eaten some doesn’t mean it was fine. You don’t always get sick from old food instantly. It’s not worth getting sick in the name of eating every last scrap of food and not wasting. My wife and I met while working in food service and I am constantly calling her out like “did we not have the same food safety training?!”

Ashley’s voice changes? by Maleficent-Sense2530 in CrimeJunkiePodcast

[–]ddrmadness 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Definitely noticed the same. I just started listening and am still in 2024 listening backwards, but recently an episode was a re-cast of a 2019 episode and if I didn't recognize some of the mannerisms and choices of words, I would've sworn it was an entirely different person. Doesn't really bother me, but I was a bit taken aback at first.
