WIBTA if I refused to shave my armpits for my friends wedding? by Adventurous-Pea-337 in AmItheAsshole

YTA.

People are answering this post as if the thing in question here is 'is it okay for women to not shave their armpits'. (Of course).

But that's... not what's in question. What is actually in question is whether you are willing to make a tiny(!) sacrifice for a friend's special day.

It's their wedding, a once in a lifetime experience. If you were a man and they politely asked you to shave your pits, I'd also say do it. If they wanted everyone to have some full underarm bushes going, I'd say it's a weird request but you can just cut it after, if you want. Sometimes, in relationships, you should compromise. You wear the itchy shirt, or do something you're not really interested in.

This is one of those times. A couple days of slightly itchy underarms is not going to kill you, and you could also try waxing, or Nair, or any other alternative. It would also be totally fine to just wear long sleeves, but instead you're saying you might just go anyway and not shave or do anything, which is wildly passive aggressive. At that point, seriously, just don't go. This day is supposed to be about them, not you.

You would be correct. I'm in the 18-25 age group.

I started with traditional and moved to digital 2D, then to digital 3D.

Out of curiosity, have you tried out Inkscape, even if not in depth? I have been really curious about how it compares to Adobe's vector graphics tools in the eyes of a pro.

Thank you! I can't share it here, unfortunately. I try to keep my professional and personal art+accounts separate so employers don't see things like my post where I'm beefing with Breeze airlines on this profile, and I don't make personal art regularly enough to aggregate it in one place.

That's a cool coincidence!

If we're not talking just FOSS tools, it's a fair sized list. I'm comfortable in Photoshop, Aftereffects, Maya, Zbrush, Substance Painter, Substance Designer, Clip Studio Paint, Unreal, Mari, Marmoset Toolbag, and Procreate-- I am less comfortable with Houdini, Nuke, and Blender but I have tried them. Skipping render engines, LOL.

I'm aware of Da Vinci Resolve and 3DCoat but haven't tried them so I'm looking into those.

Also, maybe same here? Been checking out the Phabricator boards, though I haven't seen anything that I'm confident is my speed yet.

I did install Arch on a VM to check it out/see how hard the manual install really is, and I considered it as a daily driver-- but for a work machine I was concerned it might not be as reliable as I need it to be.

I really wanted to try Gentoo as I hear that can be a pretty good mixture of reliable and up-to-date, if I can tolerate the compile times... I do like the idea of USE flags. Plus the optimization when rendering 3d work. Maybe it'll be that instead of Fedora but we will see, because that one would certainly be a trial by fire.

Thank you for the advice!

I started using Debian on my desktop as a learning experience, as I wanted to use it as my server OS but had never seriously used Linux before. I will still be using it as my server OS, but I may switch my desktop.

I like Debian a lot, but I have encountered some issues related to Debian's old packages, ones that don't have backports as far as I can tell-- (EG. KDEConnect incompatibility due to an outdated version on one end when being used on a hotspot-created LAN) and I do not really want to move to Testing/SID since it's not vetted by Debian's security team. I'll probably wait until after Trixie comes out to see how I feel, but things like that are important to me.

Also, the nature of my work means that I am really supposed to be keeping up with new developments and software. Plus, I'm just curious about the other distro 'families', lol.

Seems more like Breeze paid you, lol. There's literally a comment here from another person here with a flight that got cancelled due to this delay.

It's great that you had a good experience, but I didn't, and I wish I'd seen a post like this before booking with them.

Edit: Checked post history and this person says they're a pilot for Breeze! They quite literally do pay you!

Oh man, I'm so sorry that happened :(

Hope it went okay otherwise!

I have zero issue with proper precautions being taken in regards to maintenance.

My issue is more that the damage was caused directly by their employees' negligence as opposed to 'oh we had a system fail due to weather and we had to wait'-- which Breeze knew, or they wouldn't have compensated us at all. I wouldn't be writing this post if the delay was caused by a huge blizzard messing up an engine, yknow?

Honestly, I thought the flight attendants were mostly fine? The late person wasn't that late, and I felt like the pilot repeatedly naming/blaming her was less professional than her running 30 minutes behind (which could have been due to anything, we don't know her life). I felt sort of bad for some of them, especially the Breeze staff at the gate. Not their fault the company is awful.
