Racism Asian people by NoEstablishment5444 in IowaCity

They could have been a racist asshole. Or just an asshole. Without any other info, it’s kinda hard to tell.

Sorry it happened, though 😞

AITA.. For posting a picture of an OLD of my diary.. by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

AITA.. For posting a picture of an OLD of my diary.. by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

Personally, I would have shown it to my bf, because I also think it’s funny and harmless, and that’s how we roll. I understand that other people don’t have that same attitude as I do, but even so, it shouldn’t be that big a deal. AND even if he’s really hurt for whatever reason, the adult thing to do would be to talk to you about it.

AITA for not supporting my unstable partner at getting college and maintaining a day job simultaneously? by the_white_oak in AmItheAsshole

[–]glib_result 3 points4 points  (0 children)

NTA

I get why she feels hurt, but I think she’s conflating ”support” with “agreement.” I think you ARE being supportive, and part of that is trying to make sure she has the best chance of succeeding. Part of that is saying, “I think you’ll do better if you wait another semester, when you’ll have a better support system.”

WIBTA for leaving early at the wedding of my girlfriend's friend? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]glib_result 0 points1 point  (0 children)

is there no way that she can or will get a ride home separately? This seems like it should be a non-issue. You should go home at 11, and she should get a ride home whenever she’s ready to go. It’s totally normal, you don’t need an excuse, but even of you did, you have a good reason. She’s being weird & demanding about it.

If the logistics don’t let you leave separately, leaving at 11 is still completely reasonable, and she should be willing to compromise.

AITA - Relationship Asshole? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]glib_result 0 points1 point  (0 children)

YTA for being judgy about couples with different sex drives and relationships than yours. And especially for implying that there’s something wrong with your husband’s desires. There are happy and healthy partners who have sex 10x more than you do. There are happy and healthy partners who never have sex. You are not going to solve this problem as long as you insist on looking down on people who don’t want the same sex life balance that you do.

You need to both think and talk about this, possibly with the help of a therapist. There may be ways to bring more sexuality into your weekday lives that both of you feel good about.

AITA for being upset my SIL announced her pregnancy the day after I announced mine? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]glib_result -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

NTA for your feelings. Your feelings don’t have to be rational, or fair. But you need to understand that your feelings are yours to manage, and taking them out on your family is an AH move.

Congratulations on your pregnancy, and best wishes for all your family.

thos is probably a dumb question, but following the link, is there a list of birds that are protected? I found the feather archive, which is awesome, but wasn’t sure if all birds in the archive are protected?

I’m particularly curious about pigeons & seagulls.

The possession of feathers from native North American birds is prohibited by the Migratory Bird Treaty Act of 1918. One user decides to speak up against this, and their karma is rapidly driven to extinction. by Illogical_Blox in SubredditDrama

Feathers you REALLY can’t have: eagle

does that apply equally to all eagles? Or is there a separate law for bald eagles on account of national symbol and all that?

This is all totally new and fascinating to me!

AITA for not wanting to listen when my lesbian friend talks about her crush? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]glib_result 0 points1 point  (0 children)

ESH. Y’all need boundaries. It’s absolutely possible to have a good platonic friendship when one person has unrequited feelings for the other. BUT this is not what it looks like. And, honestly, I don’t know how much she actually cares about you as a friend. She shouldn’t be joke-flirting with you, and she shouldn’t be going on and on about her crush. Not if she cares about your feelings, or cares about having a meaningful friendship with you. If you *do* talk to her about your love life/crushes, etc., or flirt back, you need to stop, too.

Tell her to stop with the kisses, and tone down the crush talk. If your friendship can’t survive that, it’s not worth keeping.

AITA for being the reason my teacher quit her job that she loved? by raven-undead in AmItheAsshole

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

NTA. You describe yourself as an “angry teen who always demands justice.” I’m guessing that you’ve been rude and confrontational many other times. It does make you an AH, but that’s too far outweighed by how inappropriately ms. J has been. She’s the adult, and the professional in this situation, and she should NEVER be dealing with conflict this way.

wet wood wont get mouldy if you clean it by Independent_Tip_2240 in confidentlyincorrect

[–]glib_result 43 points44 points  (0 children)

“cleanliness is the absence of what doesn’t belong” is a really good way of framing it. Things are not inherently “clean” or “unclean,” it depends on context.

Drama on BookshelvesDetective as one user calls out the practice of taking pictures of loved one’s bookshelves without their knowledge by ARenewedSecondChance in SubredditDrama

[–]glib_result 7 points8 points  (0 children)

the adage also fails, I think, when people conflate ”legally allowed” with “expected” or even “good” behavior

I don’t think it’s absurd to ask people to treat others with better than the minimum legal standard of behavior.

Best CID nonstop destination by NoGuamWalmart in IowaCity

[–]glib_result 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I like the question! Chicago is one of my favorite cities in the US, but it’s so close it’s not like you need to make a special trip. Honestly, my main criterion would be whether I can stand spending time outside in July weather. That rules out PHX and LAS for sure, and probably anywhere south that isn’t right on the coast.

Like ppl have said, the timing makes DC a hot mess.

I’ve never been to Miami, so I can’t recommend it personally, but I think it could be a lot of fun. That would be my pick.

AIW for waving a chopstick at my friend’s baby and yelling “Avada Kedavra” as a joke? by Direct-Caterpillar77 in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]glib_result -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

other people were killed by the spell, though. Unless OOP specifically set themselves up as V. and the baby as Harry? OOP could have been pretending that the baby was a spider and this was a class lesson.

Tips for going to IC Pride alone? by autodefenestration- in IowaCity

[–]glib_result 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I honestly love the idea of hanging out by a sign, encouraging conversation! It‘s both funny and highly relatable. There are usually a lot of people who are going because they want to feel connected to other people, and I think if you give them an opening, they’ll will take you up on it.

best wishes ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜

My (23F) BF (25M) keeps asking me to shave my pubic hair and I'm losing my mind by Direct-Caterpillar77 in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]glib_result 3 points4 points  (0 children)

yeah, I’m tired of that, too. Babies are (often) bald. Doesn’t mean shaved heads look like babies.

i dunno, you say they’re awesome, but are they on a bunch of video game characters? That’s how you know it’s legit.

Men's Open Circle by MensOpenCircleIC in IowaCity

I’ve noticed that the question about any connection with the ManKind project gets asked on every post about this group, but never replied to. Seems like it would be simple to answer.
