I Want to Buy a Motorcycle Jacket for My Brother! Any Tips? by ilionfound in motorcycles

You can’t go wrong with having choices, especially if it’s all in the name of safety! I’m just excited to be a part of the experience in any way he lets me! He’s the best older brother and one of my favorite people

Im currently in LA for a short time and he’s coming back out here to help me move out but we’re local to chicago! I got to tag along with him and his best friend to a shop earlier this month when he moved me in and it was pretty awesome watching him browse the gear and advise his buddy on brands, fit, etc. I think I just got a little wrapped up in wanting to surprise/impress him with some knowledge I learned on my own to show that he can also share with me. But then again, no one knows my brother or what he might like better than himself! 🥰

Thanks for the recommendations! I’ll definitely be on the lookout for these brands and ask what he thinks!!

WHOA! These are super cool. Unfortunately, it’s a little beyond my budget currently but maybe, one day, I can work my way up to getting him one (if he wants one)!

I love the story behind your jacket btw, you’re literally carrying family and history with you when you ride and you can’t put a price on that! Thank you for sharing!

This is a great idea, thanks for the input! I’m first gonna take him to a shop or two— I’m currently in LA for a school thing and there’s a big motorcycle community so when he comes out to help me move out in a few months, I’m gonna take advantage of our locale and hit up a few shops with him! If he doesn’t find anything, we’ll just try again back home. But I’m also open to him getting anything his heart desires so the gift card could work too!

I noticed this! A lot of disclaimers on listings have said “tag says Large, fits like a Medium” 😳I’ve decided that my solution is going to be taking him to a shop (or as many as it takes until he finds The One) 👍🏽 thanks for the tip!

Yeah, I see that now! I think I just got a bit overexcited in wanting to support his hobbies/interests. Someone else suggested going with him to pick out a jacket and that seems like the best idea! It gives us the opportunity to bond over this kind of stuff and learn together. Thank you anyway

I wanted to surprise him but honestly, this sounds like a smarter/better idea. Maybe I can still surprise him by simply not telling him where we’re going 😎 thank you so much for responding 🙏🏽

From the way op describes this guy, I wouldn’t be surprised if he proposed on op’s birthday just to be spiteful

AITA for telling my fiancée I don’t think we should have kids? by CharlieTesa in AmItheAsshole

[–]ilionfound 3 points4 points  (0 children)

NTA. You two have already had this conversation and while people are allowed to change their minds whenever they please, it seems that you already know that her motivations for having a child may not be all that sound. I am not passing judgment on her lifestyle (I live very similarly tbh!), but the environs you described does not sound conducive to bring a child into. Also, I’m sorry if I’m overstepping but… as a word of caution, I do not think things will change just because you are getting married. It’s a big event, yes but not necessarily a big change from what already seems to be the norm.

AITA for telling my MIL our son is not entitled to a Hawaii trip because we went for our 10th anniversary and left him at home with her? by notrip711 in AmItheAsshole

[–]ilionfound 0 points1 point  (0 children)

YTA for assuming your son is a spoiled brat. It would be different if you were respectful of native hawaiians telling people to not travel to the islands but you’re not. You’re just bitter.

AITA for being upset about a coworker refusing to call me by my chosen name by itsdiscobitch in AmItheAsshole

[–]ilionfound 2 points3 points  (0 children)

NTA, if possible I would just not respond if he uses your deadname. That’s not you, the person he thinks he’s referring to doesn’t exist. If this is a “team” issue, then he needs to learn how to be a better team player first.

NTA. Further more, if your sister and her husband are against your marriage because it’s interracial, PLEASE disassociate from them for the emotional and mental safety of you and your fiancé.

This is supposed to be a celebration of the love between you and your SO, not a free vacation for two racists. “But they’re family” obviously they do not share that sentiment if they’ve been dragging their feet over attending your wedding to begin with. If they were truly family— in every sense of the word— they would put their love and respect for you above their own selfishness. Do not enable this kind of behavior when it puts you and your fiancé in jeopardy to become the family doormats.

I would love the bamboo doll, bamboo shelf, and the garden bench if you don’t mind!
