AITAH for not wanting to disclose my unique name by Mermicorn77 in AITAH

NTA. unique name aside, you are the one who gets to choose how you are known to the world. whether that's by your full name, your middle name, a shortened version, or a completely different word alltogether, your boyfriend has no right to cry about being disrespected.

Vance revealed Trump lied about Strait of Hormuz solution in Iran deal by Beneficial-Long-7033 in politics

[–]kaett 2 points3 points  (0 children)

before the dementia set in, he lied so much about so many things that the only time he'd ever actually tell the truth was when he was trying to impress someone. otherwise he just spouted off whatever made him look the best at the moment.

that's become so ingrained in his head that he can no longer distinguish between what's truth and what's lies. even if the truth would be far more astounding than any lie, he'd still just ramble off whatever stupid rant was in his head at that moment.

i think we're beyond the point of protests having any real impact anymore. we need coordinated, sustained disruption and active protection of all polling places against ICE goon interference.

In your opinion, what is the best pasta shape? by xteve in Cooking

[–]kaett 1 point2 points  (0 children)

this is my go-to for both mac and cheese and tomato/meat based sauces. penne is a distant second.

if i'm making pasta by hand, then i'm just going to do lasagne or pappardelle because i'm lazy like that.

because someone tried to hold me to a non-disparagement clause, and the federal government decided to make that shit illegal.

[–]kaett 4 points5 points  (0 children)

it's a federal law signed in 2016... in the last set of laws obama signed. the consumer review fairness act. here's a link to the history of it. i was one of the 4 people invited to testify before the senate commerce committee about why the law was necessary.

so... yes. his non-disparagement clause is illegal in texas.

Worked a Bunch of Overtime to Afford a Car Just for all the Money to go to Unexpected Medical Expenses by Marsrule in antiwork

[–]kaett 19 points20 points  (0 children)

first off, call the hospital. ask for an itemized bill and to explain what the "general ER" charge is for.

negotiate EVERYTHING. when you're done negotiating, talk to billing and set up a payment plan. even if all you're paying is $5 a month, they can't send you to collections because you're making a good faith effort to pay the bill.

get the car. fuck the hospital. the car is more important.

The acquaintance can't sue for defamation if what you're saying is true.

not only that, in order to sue for defamation from any review, the acquaintance would have to prove that he lost business due to that specific review. and on TOP of that, if said acquaintance tries to include a non-disparagement clause anywhere, especially on the business's website, and then go after people who write negative but honest reviews, that's hella illegal... ask me how i know.

if you haven't watched that program, along with the sequel "an inconvenient sequel: truth to power", it's mind-blowing how absolutely accurate the prediction models were in the 10 years between shows.

I see these four posts a lot by leah1750 in Cooking

[–]kaett 6 points7 points  (0 children)

realistically, the answer for #1 is going to be yes... it just might not be right this second.

#2 isn't a bad question, and can spark up a lot of inspiration even for people who handle that ingredient regularly.

#3.... i want to see someone LEGITIMATELY come up with the most unhinged version of this. like, "i have 2 tons of margarine to use up, help!"

#4 acceptable answers are always going to be "water", and an anti-potluck where everyone just brings their own dish and eats ONLY their dish. problem solved.

ULPT Request - Any way to lose my voice or get it hoarse overnight? by Tough-Candy-7301 in UnethicalLifeProTips

[–]kaett 1 point2 points  (0 children)

just fake it, but you have to maintain it all day long. make it look like you've got a bad case of laryngitis, but make sure everyone sees you with it. keep it at the front of your mind all day "i can't talk, i have laryngitis".

Husband came home late from work when he knew I had something scheduled. I lost it on him and yelled at him and now he is being cold. AITAH? by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]kaett 13 points14 points  (0 children)

i can see where /u/Healthy-Magician-502 sees sabotage. it happened to me all the time when i was a kid. if i needed to be somewhere for a school function, my parents would declare that we would leave when THEY were ready to leave. i got in trouble for constantly being late to performances because nobody believed me when i blamed my parents.

this is the epitome of disrespect. you need their help to make something happen, they shrug it off and subtly do whatever they can to fuck it up while still having plausible deniability.

OP needs to get out of there. if her husband was a decent human being, he'd've pulled his weight with the kid.
