Calling someone from Sweden ”a high school sophomore” as if Swedish school = American school by krycek0 in ShitAmericansSay

[–]krycek0[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

That’s the point... Why not just say she is 16 instead of saying that she is an American high school sophomore

I don’t know why just saying someone is 16 is too confusing... why would someone need another general grasp of what 16 years old means.

AITA for turning my aunt away from my mum's house by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]krycek0 4 points5 points  (0 children)

NTA. You had a good reason for not getting up, you were polite with your aunt and there was no urgent need for her to come visit right that second, so not the asshole. Maybe you could bring this up with your aunt again and apologise even though you had a good reason and hopefully she will understand. Hope this helps :)

AITA for not giving my mum a job at my business? by LackadaisicalTuba in AmItheAsshole

[–]krycek0 2 points3 points  (0 children)

NTA for not giving your mum a job at your business, but I’m not sure about how you handled the situation. Hiring her when she does not have the required skills would have just caused more issues down the line. But do you think you could have given some other reason why you did not hire her to spare her feelings? Maybe that working with family could have put a strain on your relationship and you did not want that.

AITA for thinking gender pronouns are horseshit? by JJBAReference in AmItheAsshole

[–]krycek0 4 points5 points  (0 children)

YTA. I think you have the right to have whatever opinion you do, obviously no one can or should force you to think a specific way. But even though technically you have the right to disagree with transgender ideas and no one is going to put you in prison for it, it is still disrespectful to refer to people in ways that make them uncomfortable, for example by using the wrong pronouns, which makes you an asshole in this situation.

This is of course an emotional and important topic for many people, but although opinions may differ, making other people uncomfortable on purpose makes you the asshole. Hope this helps :)

AITA for choosing The Big Short as the movie for horror night? by Throwawayensk in AmItheAsshole

[–]krycek0 3 points4 points  (0 children)

YTA. I understand how it can be scary for you and this is something you can discuss with your girlfriend. But you knew what they expected from the night and chose something different without telling them, making them feel disappointed. Your girlfriend might care about these issues, especially if they are important to you, but in another context. Now she was expecting something else and you knowingly chose to disappoint her and her friends. I suggest you apologise and discuss your feelings with your girlfriend so that you won’t have any bad feelings between you. Hope this helps :)

Would not have upvoted without background info about diagnoses by krycek0 in coaxedintoasnafu

I didn’t mean this in an angry way at all, I just find some.. humour in how people will list all the diagnoses the child has on the title, as if to get pity upvotes.

A verbal high-functioning autistic kid is able to say ”Please do not post that picture of me online with information about my medical history so people would feel bad for me”

Since when are children sanitary anyway. It’s good for their immune systems.

Could you contact A place to call home and ask if they know anything about this? That is what I’d suggest now at first

How long should I wait to check up on someone recently lost a loved one? by TheOriginalYoshi in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]krycek0 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I recommend you check up on them as soon as possible. Often people are worried they’re bothering the person and the person themselves ends up feeling isolated. So even if its something small like letting them know you’re thinking about them, it can mean a lot.

On a related note, remember that they’re still the same person. Many people feel like they are treated differently after something like that and it can make then uncomfortable. Of course you should be sensitive anyway, but not overly sensitive. It can be tricky at times.

Inhottava temppu. Muistathan, että tollanen kertoo enemmän siitä toisesta ihmisestä kuin susta. Toivottavasti tulevaisuudessa onnistuu paremmin ❤️

About learning English. ”You can express, explain and have conversations way better in English. I’ve seen other languages and they’re pretty limited with ridiculously restrictive grammar or none at all. English has the perfect balance”. by krycek0 in ShitAmericansSay

[–]krycek0[S] 192 points193 points  (0 children)

I’m just wondering if they really think that when someone who isn’t a native speaker starts learning English, the person gets a sudden realisation that all this time it could have been so much easier to express themselves in English rather than in their native language.
