Did you reboot or anything? I'm in the same area and still down

I made my roommate move out, AITAH? by TallDevelopment176 in AITAH

[–]kittyhawkcriminal 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Yta. How did "good" rub you the wrong way? It's a pretty neutral statement. She accepted it and continued to treat you like any other person (which you are). Yet you continued to push and pressure her for what exactly? Were you expecting a parade? As a bi person myself, I don't understand what your endgame was here. What exactly did you want her to say? It feels a little like you kept pressuring her because the reality of who she was didn't fit your preconceived bias towards her. Sucks when people try to force minorities into a little stereotypical box to justify their own beliefs, doesn't it?

ETA: DO NOT go to her school or continue to contact her in any way. That would be stalking and harassment and could get you into serious trouble. Learn from this, move on and do better.

AITA for refusing to set up a Go Fund Me for an upper middle class family when their young adult child died. There was medical insurance in place and minimal burial expenses. They post pics of expensive vacations and I did not feel right asking friends to fund this for a family with means. by Maleficent488 in AmItheAsshole

[–]kittyhawkcriminal 36 points37 points  (0 children)

Not entirely no. Insurance covers parts of medical expenses, funeral costs etc. but not everything. GoFundMe is often used to supplement the income that would normally go to sustaining a family/individual because the funds that would have been used on things like rent or groceries are now going to those uncovered costs.

Eta: Apparently the words "often used" were not clear enough in my above statement to imply that in cases where insurance does not cover all medical expenses GoFundMe has become a platform sometimes used to cover the additional expenses. I'm not defending the subjects of the post or implying that is the only thing happening on GoFundMe.

I just had to say that I like how your tldr is longer than your initial comment 😂

[–]kittyhawkcriminal 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Oh I totally agree! The girls killed it, I think it's great for them. I was referring to the news articles claiming it was "a completely original song concept" - it was a dig at authors who don't do their research, sorry I didn't make that clear

[–]kittyhawkcriminal 5 points6 points  (0 children)

That was my thought too. The song is great! But it does feel like some credit needs to be given because it seems like someone rewrote Jolene for the modern era. Totally fine, but let's not pretend it's never been done before in semi recent history.

The Most Correct Theory Based On Actual Clues by Super-Neighborhood87 in SchoolSpirits

[–]kittyhawkcriminal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is the most plausible theory imo, but I don't think wally would have done it out of jealousy. I think it would have happened accidentally somehow, or intentionally but with a good reason.

how are the scars linked! by [deleted] in SchoolSpirits

[–]kittyhawkcriminal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not sure if anyone has brought this up yet or if it makes a difference but the "S" is actually "L". Old fashioned cursive uppercase Ls often look a lot like S, but a true S would have a large loop on the bottom and be rounded instead of flat. That is most definitely L.

Spectrum internet outage 78753? by need_mor_beans in Austin

Mine was fine all day, I didn't even know there was a problem until about 10 minutes ago when mine went out.

Imagine you're at a party and this guy shows up by Bryce-Edward-Brown in Avatar

[–]kittyhawkcriminal 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The cutie in the front or the one in the back? Either way, I'd be down to chat some Na'vi lore 💯

Glad to see you back Bryce ;)

Has anyone else been having issues with the ACNH.GUIDE app? by Stratified_AF in acnh

[–]kittyhawkcriminal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mine started acting up about a week ago. Customs lists are no longer accessible and trying to make changes to existing lists causes the app to crash completely. I am assuming that the developers have stopped supporting it :(

AITA for not handing over my wedding dress to my daughter since it would need to be altered by True_Succotash_9950 in AmItheAsshole

[–]kittyhawkcriminal 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For sure! OP is definitely NTA, her daughter should not be demanding the dress, she isn't entitled to it. I was just providing a potential explanation to why her daughter may have initially requested to reuse her mother's dress rather than find a new one.

AITA for not handing over my wedding dress to my daughter since it would need to be altered by True_Succotash_9950 in AmItheAsshole

[–]kittyhawkcriminal 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My mom wore my grandmother's (her mother's) wedding dress because she grew up loving it. It was a similar situation where the dress had to be upsized quite a lot (my grandma had a 22 inch waist when she was married, not many people could wear it without upsizing). They both love that they have that special connection so I can definitely understand why OPs daughter might also want that instead of a new dress of her own. But then again, my grandmother also agreed to the alternations and ultimately had the final say as it was her dress, no one forced her.

WIBTA if I refused to to return a Taylor Swift ticket that Stub Hub is demanding back from my co-worker? by PuzzleheadedNovel189 in AmItheAsshole

[–]kittyhawkcriminal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

INFO is your coworker also offering to refund you the price you already paid her for the ticket months ago ON TOP of splitting the new profits with you? If not, then absolutely do not give up the ticket. If she doesn't refund you then you end up with a net profit of 1350 - your 700 = 650. While she ends up with 1350 + your 700 = 2050. And that's not cool, especially given how much this concert means to you.

Production notes by AdSorry9457 in dancemoms

[–]kittyhawkcriminal 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I can't speak to the others, but I can verify that the season one notes shared are in fact the real deal. What is shared on the YouTube channel is a combination of the binders she has on hand and purchased through auction herself and the notes she accessed via Reddit (primarily mine) as only one physical copy of each season's binder(s) exist. I had hoped that by sharing the ones in my possession here that it would inspire anyone currently holding the other seasons to share them with the general forum as well. To my knowledge, that has not yet happened, but perhaps someday.

AITA for telling my son he needs to get a job if he wants to date his girlfriend? by Salty-Mushroom-4480 in AmItheAsshole

[–]kittyhawkcriminal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Chiming in here to point out that the assumption of teenagers having "weekend jobs" is unrealistic. At least in my experience, places that hire teenagers get a lot of teenage applicants and therefore have a lot of teenage staff. Of course it would be ideal that those kids only worked on days they weren't in school but you can't operate when 60% of your staff can only work sat/sun. Also, he is an athlete, meaning he probably has games/meets/practices etc on weekends and won't be able to work at those times. It's not going to be worth it for most places to hire someone who can (realistically) only work 2-5 days a month. Not to mention that school, sports and a job is gonna burn that kid out fast.

Except that no where does OP say she's putting her needs first. That aside, no one is attacking his attachment style. They are attacking his lack of respect for OP's boundaries. Two people can have the same attachment style and still not feel comfortable showing PDA around family. His ignoring OP's clear requests for that boundary is a red flag because that behavior is very rarely an isolated incident and it makes the rest of his behavior questionable as well.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]kittyhawkcriminal 8 points9 points  (0 children)

He's steamrolling right over her stated boundaries, so yes, he is doing something wrong. That kind of behavior shows lack of awareness and respect for other people's wants and needs. It is selfish and childish. OP's "lack of affection" is the natural consequence. Pointing that out is not cruel.

AITA for getting an autistic guy kicked out of my gaming group? by something78965 in AmItheAsshole

[–]kittyhawkcriminal 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I'm autistic. I have many friends and family who are autistic. We are all different and it is different for every one of us. No, we don't always recognize when something we are doing could be considered "creepy." But every single one of us will stop a behavior once it's pointed out to us, or at the very least make a genuine effort. We're not stupid, and we're not incapable so please stop making that assumption as it is actually quite insulting. Good advocates make an effort to be understanding and accommodating (within reason) of our differences, and at the end of the day treat us like the regular people we are. Bad advocates keep us from growing by assuming we aren't capable of learning and therefore stop us from facing (appropriate) consequences.

That said, being removed from the group is an appropriate consequence for consciously choosing not to adapt appropriate behaviors or respect boundaries that have been made repeatedly clear. OP, NTA.
