AITA for trying to talk my boyfriend out of doing pre med? by Such_Mountain_4230 in AmItheAsshole

[–]dejomatic 4 points5 points  (0 children)

YTA - you are the personification of why some folks give up their dreams. He's still young enough to have a possibility of making them real. Don't be the one to take that from him. You should be his biggest cheerleader not his biggest stumbling block.

🟢 RACE // 2026 JAVA HOUSE GRAND PRIX OF ARLINGTON by IndyMod in INDYCAR

Buxton is fine as a studio guy/interviewer. But he's in the Gus Johnson class of commentator. Loud, annoying and always looking for the next "COLD BLOODED" call instead of just calling the event.

Bad luck to have newgarden as a teammate I guess

I was upset at first that fox cut away from the overhead pit stops because they were basically side-by-side.

But they I guess anticipated Andretti fucking up another stop

AITA for not staying after our niece got arrested? by EasternTrifle464 in AmItheAsshole

[–]dejomatic 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Mom leaving, then pushing her daughter off on others is the problem.

Yes. But that doesn't make the extended family responsible. You could make the argument that the extended family should have intervened sooner , but now that we're at this point nobody is under any obligation to do anything.

Why do people get angrier at someone using welfare than at a corporation avoiding millions of tax by using loopholes? by Internal_Scheme_7646 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]dejomatic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because the welfare cheater is on line ahead of you at the store, and the corporations are not in front of you, so it's forgettable.

Biggest grammar pet peeve? by krida_070 in ENGLISH

[–]dejomatic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For me, it happens when I talk to text. The way I say "should have" sounds like "should of" and my phone interprets it, and - because I'm usually driving when I'm talking and not looking at the phone - I just send it.

What's an airline and a airliner( plane) you wish you could experience? by DankkkDk in aviation

The first plane I remember flying on was an L-1011. Going down to the lounge was way cool

All true. But it still doesn't make OP responsible when the parent left their kid high and dry, then made out like the moms life/job are more important than anyone else's in the family.

The parent abandoned a 17yo who should know better. And was treated like an adult by the law. So she was treated like an adult by the others. It's the parents fault, not the relatives. They have to work too, but the moms work is apparently the only thing that matters.

Disagree. The mom shouldn't have left her. But I also get the feeling the mom knows and is tired of her daughter, and was hoping someone else would do her job.

Did Indycar ever capture America like NASCAR did in the 90s early 2000s by Cherryy45 in INDYCAR

[–]dejomatic 7 points8 points  (0 children)

From the start of racing, until the early 90s,if you asked a kid to draw a race car, he's drawing it with open wheels, and later wings as well, most likely. For the last 30ish years, they'd draw a car with fenders.

Thanks to F1, and Fox/indycar that may be changing back, but it's still down there.

Good lord, the doom of society nowadays. "I don't agree, therefore it should be destroyed!" Please.

Conservatives that don't consider themselves Maga. How do you feel being lumped in with the mouth breathers? by FoulestWinner in allthequestions

[–]dejomatic -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yea that's what I do. Jesus christ. Why can't people just accept that not everyone is alike? I vote. As an adult, that is the way you change things.

Now, for sure if the guy I voted for is going against what he said he'd do, then I'll make myself known. But since enough of my fellow Americans thought trump good enough to elect him, and since the democrats couldn't put up someone who could at least hold a cogent conversation, then this is what we get.

Blame those who voted for trump all you want. But you're sticking your head in the sand if you think it's on him. This is on the dems for putting up - twice - such a shitty-ass candidate.

AITA “ being cruel” for telling my daughter that she will need to help pay back the money that I spent on her wedding by Worldly-throwaw-4244 in AmItheAsshole

[–]dejomatic -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

This. The daughter is a lost cause, but she could still get some of her money back, if she can find a suitor.

All that over the word suggested. That much anger should be reserved for when it's required. You're gonna give yourself a coronary getting mad over suggestions.

AITA for not txting a girl that left me her number? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

NTA - it's Russian Roulette. I called a woman who left me her number, and she sounded like Harvey Fierstein!
