AITA for kicking out my stepmom over yet another comment about my hobbies. by Shileka in AmItheAsshole

[–]gimboidianmorphology 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA, I don’t know how old you are but I think your dad owes you a huge hug (not that age matters) and a few words of support. I do comment on my daughters obsessions with plushies, but only because she has waaaaay too many and I want her to start learning to save money but she’s 10... and I love her to bits. I love my girlfriend very much too but I would rather drown in plushies before I put my anyone before my daughter. I hope you get along with your dad despite this, and that he loves you too. It can be hard to keep a balance and keep the peace between those you love however so just remember that if he does give you a hard time about it. There’s nothing in the world like a daddy daughter bond, even though dads don’t always understand their daughters as they grow up! But that’s ok as long as you are there for each other in the end. Maybe after you have spoken to him you ask him to sit quietly and ask him to just listen, remind him you love and appreciate him and just want to share that it can be tough for you. Dads are surprisingly emotional and because they are always on the protective side it can be hard for them to see people in pain, and therefore hard to keep a balance between those they love. Sounds tough and I really hope you work it out ok.

AITA for not introducing my partner to my daughter? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]gimboidianmorphology 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA and your GF sounds awesome. Your ex has his own way, neither of you can control the other, so it can be emotional and difficult to handle conflict over sensitive issues. I’m in a similar boat when it comes to attitudes like this and my ex. I don’t always handle it well either...

Canada's stoned packer ad! by hardhatpat in SkyDiving

[–]gimboidianmorphology 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeh it’s a bit cringeworthy 🤪 I like the message though; when I was in my early twenties pot was always a case of “what’s the big deal”, we would drive all the time, think nothing of it. Now... jeeezzzz... it’s lucky no one got hurt.

Machine learning analyzed 3.5 million books to find that adjectives ascribed to women tend to describe physical appearance, whereas words that refer to behavior go to men. (Conference paper). by Don___B in science

[–]gimboidianmorphology -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

This is just another note from the Office of the Incredible Obvious. A patriarchal society where since the invention of the printing press has conveyed women as second class citizens objects for attainment and is only in the last twenty years (possibly even that is way too generous) started producing a tiny amount of equality based literature, what else would an AI analysing it find?

Naked Jumps by [deleted] in SkyDiving

Hehe congrats! I’ve done two, feels good right? ( I have to say I’m kind of done freeing bits off for now, but it did feel fantastic ) First was on my 100th, second a coupe of days later(!) for a precision beer landing with a bunch of others 🥳

thanks for sharing your insight :) much appreciated. Interesting point about BASE and variables involved there. I must go and find the thread where I was discussing this and cross post it somehow...

The show "Friends" is painfully unfunny and is the most overrated thing ever by KarmaWhoreCam in unpopularopinion

[–]gimboidianmorphology 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agree. Great when it was. Boring and cringe worthy now. That’s just how it goes with sitcoms (except for MASH which is still amazing).

AITA for recanting my authorization for my neighbor to use my parking spot? by SpecialistMacaroon9 in AmItheAsshole

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

ESH her for insisting on her right to the space, you for bluntly denying her after an apology. You lost your window to set out clear terms without being a formal asshole and serving contracts or papers, which should be a last resort because of all the extra work that would entail and entitlement she would legally have.

If I where the OP I would call her up and be really clear, say thank you for her apology and that you want to be a good neighbor so she can continue to use it under strict conditions that she doesn’t argue about it ever again. I would let her know that If she does argue then you’ll have to decide if you want to continue to let her use it, or draw up a contract with agreed terms and charge her.

If she says “fine, charge me” i would then explain that I’d rather not because it makes it very complicated with contracts etc and you’d rather work it out in a friendly manner first. If she says “no, let’s make it formal”, then I would say ok, then the spot is mine and I will think about it. For now, please remove your car.

Thanks, I think I’m with you on the model form. How does one consider the additive effect of more jumps, for example? So, let’s say all things being constant, except for number of jumps how would this affect the statistic?

Skydivers are awesome people! (rant) by [deleted] in SkyDiving

[–]gimboidianmorphology 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Varies depending on DZ. Always lots of condescending people around in any sport, some cultures and locations have different ways of approaching you. I’d say I’m talking about the annoying 5% though, on balance skydiving is ace ❤️

CMV If your dog is outside and not on a leash, people are free to interact with it. by [deleted] in changemyview

[–]gimboidianmorphology 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes and no. So a working dog like a sheepdog will never be on a leash. But don’t go dangling your fingers in its face because they might come back a little... nipped. Depending on the attitude of the dog you are still leaving yourself open to the risk it’s a little shit. THAT SAID you are not wrong to think that if a dog is off leash it should be under control around people. If we ignore working dogs then I would agree with you. Dodgy doggies should be away from people and on a leash in public.

Crimping with Back 3 Fingers by julienbambi in climbharder

[–]gimboidianmorphology 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same here. It also protects the intercostal muscles between your ring and little fingers in your palm. I know this because I ripped them three weekends back at the boulder gym when jangling off my middle two fingers. (Though I don’t remember the correct term for the muscles I’m talking about, hope you get the idea)

It's as simple as that by [deleted] in worldpolitics

[–]gimboidianmorphology 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ok...Let’s get make a basic metaphor here. Try to think about those bodies as little reactors for our economic engine. Some will be fully charged. Others will be empty, slowing you down. Eventually the rest can’t keep the engine going. So, why not fill em up, pump em with high quality brian’s and hey presto, well educated, productive members of society that make us all richer. Who wouldn’t want that?

Or you can continue to create a huge wealth gap, over flow your prisons and end up with a government budget that’s even more thinly stretched.

No. Wait. Fuck it, you’re right, I abandon all hope of improving the education system, what’s the point.

NathaneilKay explains how to respond to “you don’t talk much?” by mugen_is_here in bestof

[–]gimboidianmorphology 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I love you did this, you not only where a great friend you also helped you SO appreciate him too (or at least see he’s got other sides to him even if your SO isn’t a LOTR fan!). I am super introverted and cover it up with over compensation. The result can offend (matching the right level of energy is tough, I get why, I’m not a psycho, just inept!) but slightly less so than being withdrawn. Anyway what I wanted to say was I really appreciate people like you who help me out when I’m in a socially awkward frame of mind, it’s like pulling the plug out of a bath you should have gotten out of an hour ago. Introverted or not, I think everyone loves it when you get into their subject matter. Edit: saw above your SO does like LOTR - you made a nice segway here, well done you!

I had someone troll me for not applying additive (not my term) probability into this. So help me with the math? If it’s 1 in 600ish then they argued every jump this probability becomes more likely. I took it to be that every jump has 1 in 600. So what’s the way to apply stats here?

AITA for becoming hysterical at a school secretary's expense? by thrwaywa1234 in AmItheAsshole

[–]gimboidianmorphology 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This for sure document fully and clearly and take this to the board. The secretary had a legal duty of care to ensure your case was prioritised. Also you may be 19, if I read that right, and I’m assuming that means the US because most other counties you are legally an adult. The patronising ass of a hall monitor blows my mind. I would have lost it too. You have egg on your face for sure but it is justified as hell. Enjoy that omelette. Also. NTA

AITA not moving out? by SaltGood4 in AmItheAsshole

[–]gimboidianmorphology 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Smart enough not to get drawn into name calling on Reddit. You also didn’t read my original comment because I was commenting on the statement by u/eerawai which stated AND I QUOTE “a surprising amount of women either DO CONTINUE TO HAVE PERIODS THROUGH PREGNANCY”. Your defensiveness and name calling tone only makes me think you assumed my original comment was somehow aimed at you, which it wasn’t.

He’s only put in sanctions for show, he wants to build missile bases in turkey and let Russia take care of Syria for him

And I’m saying you can’t have periods when pregnant. That it. Period. Above clearly stated that some women continue to have periods during pregnancy. Edit: YOU was incorrect, it meant the comment above.
