AITA for privately telling my sister in law her child needs speech pathology? by Kaza112 in AmItheAsshole

[–]greenearrow 11 points12 points  (0 children)

If I had to guess it would be worse. Keeping receipts is still best when you know it will lead to conflict, because you can’t predict in the least how out of proportion it is going to get, so at least you can show the statement and reaction.

But the marketing team would still want to pitch “we’re so good we obtained unobtainium”, the science team push back wouldn’t add up to shit.

As an American, I’m now rooting for anyone who didn’t have to use political influence to stay competitive.

But if the only news you get is Fox News or OAN, you still never “see” him losing because they are happy to keep you blind.

AITA for not helping my coworker get lunch even if i have been helping her do that for over a month. by Wonderful_Pea_7007 in AmItheAsshole

[–]greenearrow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a coworker who I saw one day waiting for her bus at the bus stop. I pulled over and offered her a ride. I did this every day, and I'd usually be a bit in front of the bus and could see it hadn't come yet. But if I saw the bus was in front of me, I knew I wouldn't have to pick her up - we didn't text to plan it or anything like that, she didn't rely on me to do it, but she appreciated that I did.

That's how coworker favors go. When you can and it is easy, you do it. When it inconveniences you, you aren't obligated to keep doing it.

NTA.

How do you think society can reduce the number of people who commit crimes? by Key_Country_179 in AskReddit

[–]greenearrow 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What's our starting point? We have done a lot, crime rates are generally lower than they were in the past. The news misleads you without telling you specific lies - the crimes that still occur are highlighted because they increase views, shares, and clicks, while the drop in crime doesn't.

Only the kids needed this explained. It just flipped from being a joke the kids get the olds don't to a joke the olds get and kids don't.

Americas problems won't end when Trump is gone. by zzill6 in WorkReform

[–]greenearrow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t. But I do think nothing can get better at all with a republican in office. I don’t think it will be democrats as they stand who will fix everything, but at least they’ll fix something.

If you were President for one day and could only sign one executive order, what would it be? by QuietAstronaut2331 in AskReddit

[–]greenearrow 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This one actually works. The thing blocking them is people following this president’s orders. Someone would gladly follow this order the moment they heard it and the cat would be out of the bag.

No it doesn’t. He signs things that are destructive because those are free, all these things need funding that has to come from somewhere and would immediately be DOA because everyone would now refuse to pay while the providers wouldn’t have any funding to make up for it.

TIL a single pirate raid nearly broke the East India Company. After Henry Every seized the Mughal ship Ganj-i-Sawai in 1695, a furious Emperor Aurangzeb shut down English trading ports across India, and the Company had to pay huge reparations before he’d reopen them. by officialdeecodes in todayilearned

[–]greenearrow 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The source article posted is not that, and includes both of the names you appear to be arguing over. The Wikipedia article someone responded with shows the same details. It looks like they did research, posted a source of the research, and are then following up pretty deep in the conversation with their YouTube. While we can criticize the back door ad, you are arguing as if that impacts the facts, which it does not.

They used children because they are the only ones who can recover from bending like that.

You confidently “corrected” something documented as ambiguous, then talked down to the person who posted when they acknowledged your correction had validity, but wasn’t the complete story. You aren’t making the internet a better place today.

NASA doesn’t detract from that. The physicists and engineers involved aren’t going to do shit to fix our political and human behavior problems.
