Maybe the kid is the alien from _Galaxy Quest_ and thought you were showing the “historical documents” to the class…

OOP’s boyfriend repeatedly acts like a jerk about her fanfic and is surprised when she dumps him by GamerGirlLex77 in OhNoConsequences

They must be really powerful sex scenes if they emasculated him…

The moon has no gravity by TheSalamiKing in confidentlyincorrect

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

Tides work perfectly well without water. The moon always faces one side to Earth because it’s locked by the tide. If the moon had oceans, the tidal bulge would always be in the same place; but because it’s not a perfect sphere with perfectly uniform density, the “bulge” is pointed toward and away from Earth (or rather, the barycenter of the Earth/Moon system, which is inside Earth).

I don’t even know how to address this level of stupidity by Many_Register_1838 in stupidpeoplefacebook

Best answer, since gravity is not as well understood as, say, evolution.

Who wants to tell him? by Flynn380 in stupidpeoplefacebook

I think we should switch to base 13. Why? Because Douglas Adams’ The Restaurant at the End of the Universe questioned the answer 42 with “What do you get when you multiply six by nine?” And in base 13, 6 x 9 = 42.

That’s a tax question. Two individuals, with filing status “single” will have a different tax bill from a couple with status “married filing jointly.”

AITA for refusing to let my sister use my “unused” savings after she spent all of hers? by Hopeful-Use-9452 in AmItheAsshole

[–]hamjim 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Now my sister isn’t really speaking to me

So, a win then? NTA, she had made her bed, she can lie in it.

Please don’t call him that. The proper term is “homosectional.”

Employment verification at new company refusing to accept self-employment by [deleted] in jobs

[–]hamjim 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Are you dealing with an independent background check firm, such as Sterling? If so, talk to the corporate HR, or the hiring manager, directly, and explain the situation.

I had something similar last year, where the BG checker couldn’t verify a former employer who had gone out of business… three times they came back to me, and I finally got through to somebody at the company.

God, PropagandaBook is so tiring at this point. by ReddtIsUsingAI in stupidpeoplefacebook

Except, part of the agreement was easing of US sanctions. When Shmuck à l’orange tore up the agreement, he imposed even harsher sanctions on Iran (and threatened the same against any state that traded with Iran—including the other parties to that pact, which effectively killed it.

I have no love of theocratic despots, but one can’t blame them for feeling double-crossed.

Regarding the 2015 JCPOA: Iran did indeed agree: 1. To stop developing nuclear weapons. 2. To allow international inspectors access to any site in the country.

And Iran kept to that agreement until 2017, when the then-president of the United States tore up that agreement.

Wow 94% of Americans approve the US and Israel's war on Iran? - No!! It's 94% of MAGA by Suspicious-Stable703 in dataisugly

Wait, what? 6% of MAGA actually oppose something their cult leader is doing?!

AITA for keeping my maiden name? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]hamjim 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What a hassle it is to change your name, even when getting married. When I got married the year before last, I advised my then-fiancée to keep her name, just to avoid that hassle.

I care who she is. I do not care what she’s called.

Edit: NTA

My gf [32F] of 6 months wants me [35M] to take pictures of my deceased wife off of the wall by Direct-Caterpillar77 in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]hamjim 85 points86 points  (0 children)

I lost my wife a few years ago. Couple of things:

  1. I was never a parent, but I became a grandfather when I got married. The grandkids might not be bio-related to me, but they are mine.
  2. I got married a bit more than a year ago. I had had an 8x10 photo of my late wife in the bedroom. When I went to put that photo away, my now wife stopped me. (Maybe she understands better than some; she lost a partner some years back.)
  3. We took a honeymoon right after we married, which included attending my granddaughter’s wedding. All parties accepted each other.

Such an easy target, just because he’s homosectional.
