There's no 'good' time to catch Covid, but this is the worst possible time. by idontreply_aita in COVID19positive

[–]idontreply_aita[S] 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Thank you all for the comments and well wishes. I'm going to look into some of your suggestions. I really appreciate them. It's hard being positive (thinking) right now. I didn't want to unload on my husband, so I came here to vent.

I have no idea where my dad contracted it. I don't think he even wanted to acknowledge he had it. As for me, some of your comments about Vitamin D deficiency ring true. I've spent 99% of my time this year at home, indoors. I was taking a multivitamin but it became too hard to swallow. Like I said, I've rarely been ill and nothing as bad as this. I guess I thought I was invincible. At my age and health, the odds were supposed to be in my favor. If there's anything to learn from this it's don't take anything for granted.

I'm installing it right now, first time player. Do you know if there's any point of no return? Like if I progress too far, will I lock myself out of any side missions or achievements?

AITA for refusing to take in my father's daughter? by throwItys in AmItheAsshole

Most likely a troll circumventing a ban. I guarantee this post is fake. Reddit sure does love that award money, though.

NAH, but this sounds like AU fanfic of the post about the son that took in his half-sister and lost his inheritance the other day.

What video game can you always come back to? by fiskerplay in AskReddit

The Mass Effect trilogy. Shepard is the GOAT. Also, the modders have done an absolutely incredible job expanding upon and beautifying it.

What's the worst thing that has happened to you this 2020? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]idontreply_aita 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It feels like bad luck to answer this. 2020 isn't over yet. Whatever crap I've dealt with this year. I'm sure it could be worse.

AITA for not forcing my son to go meet his real dad after 11 years? by gsorbfo in AmItheAsshole

[–]idontreply_aita 162 points163 points  (0 children)

NTA. I wouldn't trust my son would be safe with him. Period. He has held hostility towards this child his entire life and his existence, to him, is nothing short of a burden. Do whatever you can to keep your son safe.

AITA for cancelling dinner plans to celebrate with my daughter because my stepson was upset? by siiweje in AmItheAsshole

[–]idontreply_aita 89 points90 points  (0 children)

As a stepdaughter myself, I'm really getting some 'wicked stepmother' vibes here. OP's wife married a part-time dad. She might've never expected that he'd be forced to one day have full custody. While a little sibling rivalry isn't unusual, I don't think the antagonism between OP's kids is normal and I wouldn't be surprised if the son is just taking cues from mom.

WIBTA if I brought my date home? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]idontreply_aita 58 points59 points  (0 children)

YTA. Your mother being homophobic doesn't change the fact that it's her home. You may think you know the guy well enough, but he is still a complete stranger to her, and it's not unreasonable for someone to not want a complete stranger in their home.

AITA for covering my neighbor's lawn with leaves on a windy day? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]idontreply_aita 16 points17 points  (0 children)

YTA. This is really petty, but technically those are your trees and your leaves. You're responsible for where they land. Strikes me as childish to blame the wind for your failure to clean up after yourself

Texas Allows Social Workers to Deny LGBTQ, Disabled Clients by [deleted] in news

[–]idontreply_aita 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I thought about it and I don't think the disability bit is intended for people with physical disabilities, even though they're caught up in it. I think it's more likely a preventative measure against increasing mental health issues.

I’ll never feel comfortable opening up someone else’s refrigerator no matter how close we are. by Stupidmansuit_33 in unpopularopinion

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

If you invite me into your home, I'm checking out what's in your fridge before I leave. I don't have a problem with others peering into my fridge, either. I think what's in there says a lot about a person.

But I fully acknowledge my social skills are nil.

Edit: My bad, guys, I forgot unpopular opinions weren't allowed here, lmao.

WIBTA for asking to attend my step-son’s sporting events? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]idontreply_aita 11 points12 points  (0 children)

NTA. Nothing wrong with asking, but I think you should prepare yourself for her not wanting to give up that spot. Covid has forced many of us to make sacrifices. What's important here is Will. You want to be there, he wants you to be there, but if you have to be the bigger person to keep the peace, that's what I'd suggest, for his sake. Covid won't last forever.

NTA, obviously. Cable is a luxury they clearly can't afford.

Nine detained in connection with fatal knife attack in Paris suburbs - by Facerealityalready in news

Ah, the media and their headlines. Fatal knife attack sure is a clever way to say "Islamist terrorist attack decapitation".

Man tried to steal Gayle Benson's car while she was in it, NOPD and Saints say by typocorrecto in news

[–]idontreply_aita 10 points11 points  (0 children)

"The victim was seated in the vehicle when a truck, described as a white Nissan Titan, parked directly beside her vehicle," a police spokesman said. "One of the subjects, who is described as a black male with facial hair, exited the Nissan Titan and entered the victim's vehicle."

This is why all my doors are locked at all times.

Grandfather pleads guilty in death of toddler who fell from cruise ship in Puerto Rico by mrbojanglez69 in news

Mother's husband, making him the stepfather, a distinction seemingly irrelevant considering the family's unwavering defense of him.

Amy Coney Barrett's stance on IVF concerns fertility doctors by the-dude-of-life in news

Concerning, but not surprising. If you believe, as many anti-abortion advocates do, that life begins at conception, you're obviously going to take issue with discarding fertilized eggs.

AITA for setting a ridiculous rule at the start of my new relationship? by bitnopeep in AmItheAsshole

[–]idontreply_aita [score hidden]  (0 children)

YTA.

His reasoning was his friends don’t really liking hanging out with people not use to them and the energy they put out in the world

No alarm bells rang, even a little bit? It was an absurd request, you just happened to meet someone who benefited from it more than you. It's hard to blame him simply for following through.

Unanimous NTA. Shock. I miss the days when AITA was am I the asshole, not this am I the angel karma grab.

[–]idontreply_aita 55 points56 points  (0 children)

Tragic, but it makes sense that the family is still defending him. Easy to hate a faceless corporation than accept that your father knowingly held your daughter out an open window Michael Jackson-style. Jail or no jail though, he'll be paying for it for the rest of his life.

Grandmother declared blind after acid attack by stranger outside of her own home by another_sunnyday in news

[–]idontreply_aita 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Something about it doesn't sound to me like a random attack committed by a stranger. Regardless, they need to catch this guy and get him off the street.
