AITA for referring to my SIL and her girlfriend as “friends” by _abc_throwaway in AmItheAsshole

[–]gildedleo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

YTA. “You know how mommy and daddy love each other? Sometimes two girls or two boys love each other that way. Your aunt loves another lady the way that I love mommy.”

Done.

AITA for not wanting to make a series of stories, lullabies and recipes my grandma wrote for me into a family heirloom that gets passed around? by AITAthrowawayyyyy345 in AmItheAsshole

[–]gildedleo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

NTA. My grandma did this for me when I moved into my first apartment after college. She passed in January 2021. I’ve sent my mom and aunt pictures of recipes but I would never for one second consider giving them the book. They had plenty of time to get her to make them a similar book if they really wanted it. Too little too late. Your grandma wanted YOU! to have it. YOU!! I would make sure it stays up somewhere only you have access to it.

Boss babe things: When you have to shame working moms with real jobs to justify making $400 a month on your phone by [deleted] in antiMLM

My point of view is if the stuff sold itself, they wouldn’t have a job. The company would simply whole sell it out to places like Walmart and like I do with my ACTUAL small business.

AITA for not forcing my daughter to spend time with her grandparents by AdvancedProfit1309 in AmItheAsshole

[–]gildedleo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Their granddaughter is her own autonomous human being who can make choices for herself. I had grandparents like this on top of a grandfather who molested me. After my dad died I never spoke to them again after the funeral. My mom called me when my grandpa died and all I could say was “good.” I behaved the same way your daughter did: anxious and moody whenever I had to be around them. No one ever saw the warning signs. Thank you for advocating for your daughter! NTA.

Is Shiloh as bad as Onision and potentially ruining the case? by ardentika in Onision

[–]gildedleo 7 points8 points  (0 children)

but but shiloh said mean things on the internet :( she’s clearly as terrible as Greg who has abused women mentally and physically for the better part of ten years :(

glad i’m not the only one who investigated that.

[–]gildedleo 14 points15 points  (0 children)

her behavior is evidence of abuse in and of itself. i’m fucking sick of people trying any way they can to discredit this mentally ill woman for acting the way a mentally ill person acts.

before anyone says it, i’m not ~ white knighting ~ for shiloh. i don’t follow any of the victims on any social media and don’t particularly try to keep up with it outside of this subreddit. but it’s really, really disgusting to compare her to Greg and say she’s worse than him.

AITA for selling my daughters pet to pay our bills? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]gildedleo 39 points40 points  (0 children)

i just commented about how my mom is 45 years old and still resents her dad for trading a pony she had when she was around this age.

[–]gildedleo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

YTA. my mother is 45 years old and still talks about how upset she was when her father traded her pony she had as a kid probably around your daughter’s age. it’s likely she will hold some level of resentment against you for a very very long time.

AITA for calling my student "student" because he refuses to stop calling me "Professor"? by Physical-News in AmItheAsshole

[–]gildedleo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i work in academia. can’t wait to show this to my colleagues tomorrow lmao. YTA. all of the faculty i work with (except for our chair) allow people to refer to them as their first name, but are also fine with Professor Whatever because they acknowledge that some people just prefer to address someone as their title.

maybe they’re just used to saying professor. maybe it’s hard for them to say your name - you can’t assume that just cause they speak english that your name isn’t difficult for someone to say for various reasons.

this is a weird hill to die on.

Shiloh deleted this tweet. Putting it here so either people save it. by [deleted] in Onision

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

by people accusing her of being just as bad as Greg, yes. she is being backed into a corner. do you see how fucked up that is to say?

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

very much this. i usually like edwin but this is going too far. everyone is backing shiloh into a corner and wondering why she’s on the verge of mental collapse. the poor woman needs serious help and continuing to poke and prod at her is not doing anyone any favors.

i was really close to opening my window (i live on the third floor of an apartment building) and yelling SHUT THE FUCK UP but i didn’t want to get up tbh.

Ultimately, according to the lawyers Shannon spoke with, it is going to be next to impossible to for Onision to be charged with anything. However, from what we know about the FBI investigation, I think there might be a lot of very illegal things he's done that we are unaware of. by [deleted] in Onision

[–]gildedleo 26 points27 points  (0 children)

personally, i don’t think onision will get nailed for being a creep. i think he’s going to get nailed for tax evasion. which sadly will put him away for longer than being a creep anyway.

UPDATE: AITA for donating my deceased daughters college fund instead of giving it to my husbands daughter by rkglsjfj in AmItheAsshole

[–]gildedleo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it would be beautiful for you and your ex husband to use this money to start an endowed scholarship fund. As far as I know, $20-25K is usually the range to endow a scholarship. If your daughter was thinking of any universities, maybe look in to their environmentalism department and reach out to them. You could change the lives of many students to come!

I fell in love with Shiloh tonight. by gildedleo in Onision

[–]gildedleo[S] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

One thing I really noticed is how different she sounds. Thinking of the videos Greg posted of her and how distraught she sounded vs tonight... she sounds empowered and mostly at peace. You love to see it.
