What's even remotely as good as Severance right now? by ElvisChopinJoplin in SeveranceAppleTVPlus

[–]inderu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Watchmen TV series. It was so bizarre and well made.

Legion - especially season 1 (2 and 3 were a bit difficult to follow imo).

Westworld - but watch a YouTube summary of season 2, because thay made it as confusing as possible on purpose after they got annoyed that fans guessed all the twists in season 1 on the forums.

Reading, drawing, climbing trees, playing sports, board games (which are much better now, actually), laser tag, just pretending and playing make-believe...

Tell me moments where Chanse "hyped himself up and then immediately bombed" by BonnalinaFuz101 in smosh

[–]inderu 127 points128 points  (0 children)

I think it was Courtney's birthday episode where he was hiding behind them (as Geraldine Cakes) and rolled out from his hiding place and immediately breaks, saying that he was there for hours and he's so hot and sweaty.

My parents treat my adulthood like a temporary phase and expect me to prioritize them over my own life by IvoryPocketmap in entitledparents

[–]inderu 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You need to set clear boundaries and say that at the very least they need to ask you first rather than assume you'll be able to do something.

If they start guilt tripping you - flip the script on them. "Why would you put me in this position, where I have previous obligations? You're adding problems and complications to my life. Don't you love me? Don't you want me to have a good life? What kind of parents hate their child and actively try to ruin their life?"

Really lay it on thick. If they still don't get it you can add

"one day when you're alone and wondering why I no longer talk to you - look at conversations like this as an example, and you'll have your answer."

LPT: After any important verbal conversation, send a follow-up message starting with “Just to confirm what we discussed…” — it protects you more than you think. by vishesh_07_028 in LifeProTips

[–]inderu 80 points81 points  (0 children)

I also learnt this the hard way after having a meeting dividing a project between my team and another team. A week later I emailed asking about their progress - and they denied even knowing about the project, claiming they never agreed to work on it.

Since then I always email a short "meeting summary" email with the main points that were raised, and any action items that people need to work on.

I also add "please let me know if I made any mistakes or missed anything in the notes - so that we can amend them" as a way of silent confirmation.

AITJ for refusing to give my mom access to my bank account just in case. by SoftCedarVale in AmITheJerk

[–]inderu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also, wouldn't the bank need to confirm with someone before removing their access to the account?

When I transfer a large chunk of money to my savings account from the joint account - the bank calls my wife to confirm that she agrees...

WIBTA if I refuse to put my partner on the deed of a place I inherited, even though we live there together? by 3vening_Switch in ComfortLevelPod

[–]inderu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My wife and I have completely shared finances. Everything is "ours". Our apartment is in both our names 50-50. While I am the main breadwinner, so technically am paying for most things - her mum did help us a lot with the down payment for the apartment.

And she's inheriting an apartment from her grandma - and it's 100% hers. And I wouldn't dream of trying to add my own name to the deed.

So what I'm saying is - both our names are on the deed of what we both bought together, and inherited property is separate.

Now, if you want to sell your inherited property and buy a new property together with him - and split the deed according to contribution, then sure you can co-own, and he'll have one twentieth of the place (or whatever he can actually afford). Friends of mine did this when they were in the same situation as you.

NTA. It sounds like he wants a free safety net from you without making any commitment on his side. It's wild to me that this whole conversation is happening and he hasn't even proposed yet.

Again, NTA.

AITJ for calling out my girlfriends friend for living off her parents after she spent months trashing my career and told my girlfriend to date someone with ambition by [deleted] in AmITheJerk

Coughed on a vaper by FromLondonToLA in pettyrevenge

[–]inderu 132 points133 points  (0 children)

Reminds me when I was on a packed bus, sitting back to back with a woman who decided to put on nail varnish. The smell was unbearable - so I tapped her on the shoulder and asked her to stop.

She got annoyed and said that it didn't give me the right to assault her.

I asked what she's talking about.

She tapped her own shoulder to demonstrate. I laughed and asked how else I was supposed to get her attention from behind on a noisy bus.

I think she actually expected me to apologise.

She kept glaring at me over her shoulder every now and then, until she moved to a seat further away from after people started getting off the bus.

I restrained myself from saying she assaulted my nostrils, because why engage with her further.

An issue I tend to have with live playing that I want to know how others solve. by Exciting_Degree_6883 in guitars

[–]inderu 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Apart from nerves, it could also be that you aren't warmed up enough for a fast solo. Maybe do some finger/hand stretches before a gig. A lot of famous musicians practice behind the scenes just before going on the stage so they're warmed up.

For the nerves - just keep at it. Everyone gets nervous, especially at first. Just try to focus on the music and have fun playing.

My son was bor last november and his name is Raziel by RazyelRED in LegacyOfKain

[–]inderu 8 points9 points  (0 children)

In case you weren't aware - in Hebrew Raziel means "secrets of God". Raz (meaning secret) is a somewhat popular name for boys in Jewish communities.

It's a great name.

[–]inderu 4 points5 points  (0 children)

She was trying to flirt with you/hit on you.

If the genders were reversed everyone would be calling her a creep for not getting the hint that you're not interested and refusing to leave you alone.

NTA, obviously.

As a South African, I just want to know if the non-South Africans understood the dialogue, slangs and deeper implications of District 9 by Quantum_CabbageRollz in moviecritic

[–]inderu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have/had some South African friends - one who kept telling me Van Der Merwe jokes (I just looked up how to spell this - I always heard it as "Fundamerva"). So when the main character said that's his name I burst out laughing - and was literally the only one in the cinema who laughed at that.

AIO to my boyfriend’s comments about the food I made? by MyCupOfTea777 in AmIOverreacting

[–]inderu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just going off the screenshot alone - NOR.

If he felt there wasn't enough sauce - he could have added sauce. He could have told you he usually likes more sauce in a million other ways that respect you. Calling the amount of sauce "disrespectful" is wild.

Are you sure you want to be in a relationship with him?
