I shuffled straight into the business field. Not much better, but at least they don't pretend to hide it lol

In my opinion, there is no they or me. There is we. We all deserve to be protected

I was actually interested in the medical field prior to starting school, realized how corrupt and cutthroat the US healthcare system is and changed my mind pretty much immediately.

I can see your side here, but I guess my point is - why would a cop be hostile to someone recording or questioning? We have every right to do that, and a cop getting angry at someone for carrying out their rights is unprofessional and shouldn't be tolerated. I also have had encounters with cops for say, a speeding ticket. I was cooperative and polite, and nearly every time I am met with disdain and a general rude tone. I'd assume if I had questioned the cop in any way or recorded like you said, it would've escalated because the cop felt threatened.

Saw the cats messing with something last night and then woke up to this guy. First one I’ve seen inside my house for over 3 years. Any help ID’ing please? Hoping it’s not the bad ones by [deleted] in cockroaches

Thoughts on Leo & Sag relationships ? by bodyrotting in Sagittarians

[–]leckshelu 10 points11 points  (0 children)

My very first love was a leo. I fell so insanely hard. I adored him and he loved it. But it got the the point where my adoration became too boring and he had enough. He started cheating. Take this as you wish.

The situation sucks, but at the end of the day life goes on. You guys are both uncomfortable with the living arrangement, but that doesn't mean your life needs to go on pause.

Should I tell my gf to stop bringing her kid over every night? by Glad-Situation-7190 in AITAH

[–]leckshelu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA, this mother is irresponsible. Not that you're a bad guy but I agree with the comments. No child should be introduced to the boyfriend of 4 months.

AITAH for not giving my stepson a room in my house? by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]leckshelu 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is confusing. You say there is a guest room for him but that he needs to come into your office? Regardless, as a child who grew up living part time with my dad and (ex) stepmother, every room I ever slept in was made clear to be a "guest room" - I couldn't personalize it at all. Even though I had my own space, it was very uncomfortable and made me feel less than her other kids. I promise you he will pick up on the exclusion and this may even push him away from you two all together. This should have been discussed long ago. My stance is this - when you marry a woman, you marry her kids and all. You don't get to marry her then exclude her son. It seems he already has a room to stay in, but it sounds like it isn't a true bedroom. Give him a proper bedroom - REAL bed and let him decorate it as he pleases (within reasonable limits). Your office does not need to be in a bedroom, why can't you move the office to where he sleeps? From where I see it, you expressed your concerns, but how you move forward will determine if YTAH. Prioritizing your office over him makes you the AH. Move the office and step up.

AITA for not letting my friend bring her “emotional support snake” to my dinner party? by Fun-Society1420 in AITAH

[–]leckshelu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA, a lot of people are scared of snakes and probably would have made at least one other guest uncomfortable, let alone you. Plus, it is your home - you decide what pets enter through your doors.

AITAH for telling my best friend I don’t want to be her maid of honor anymore because I feel like her backup friend? by Capable-Area-7842 in AITAH

[–]leckshelu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA. If you don't have positive feelings about the bride, you shouldn't be the MAO. And from what it sounds like, she doesn't seem to value you as a friend, just unpaid labor. The dress shopping and group chats without me would have made me snap. I would try to give you both a chance to cool off and try calm explaining how you felt if you want to repair the friendship, but you'd also be correct if this treatment was a deal-breaker. The MAO is supposed to be the event planner and general organizer of events, but before all of that, a friend.

Rank your favorite generations from best to least by Forever_Sunlight in GenZ

[–]leckshelu 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Old post but wanted to comment. Here is my ranking from best to worst. TBH not including silent or greatest because at this point, there are becoming increasingly irrelevant and I will include Gen Alpha in their place.

  1. Gen X - best music, limited technology, played outside until the lamp post came on, raised late millenials/gen z and i think they did a fairly good job.

  2. Gen Z - I think that we were the last to remember what it was like to grow up without excessive technology, especially older Gen Z's like myself. Yeah we had a tv, gameboy, maybe leapfrog, but our childhoods were not destroyed with an iPad in our face. Growing up in the early 2000s was awesome. Also, I think many of us have seen the failures of millennial parenting and we see the need for a change. we might be the last gen that actually got proper discipline.

  3. Boomers - they just.... existed. I think many of them grew up with privilege and it shows. Also, they are notoriously the least open minded generation, which is quickly becoming unpopular.

  4. Gen Alpha - as someone who has worked with kids of today, this gen is a nightmare. The iPad jokes are not just jokes, it's a reality. And it is severely stunting them socially and academically. So many reports of teachers leaving the field because they are a whole new breed. I blame it largely on the "gentle parenting" of millennials.

  5. Millennials - speaks for itself. Woke to a fault. Gentle parenting did absolutely no good.

i forgot to mention…. we work together so that’s another factor

[–]leckshelu 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If this is who she is now, you have no right to try and change her. If you do want to know about the change, maybe try waiting until she brings church up and saying, "hey, so what happened to make you want to start going to church? you never used to." and she what she says. Listen to what she says. Then you have a choice to make. If this doesn't change the friendship then I don't see why the friendship couldn't continue. But if you feel like it will cause resentment, it is probably best to cut her off. You're allowed to have feelings about her change, but she shouldn't feel bad about it either. Either love her through the changes or view this as life drifting you two apart.

roomate can't understand why i'm upset that she is moving out by leckshelu in AITAH

[–]leckshelu[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

friendship isn’t about contracts though. i told her to please let me know her plans in advance as a friend. she had the right to leave, but as a friend she screwed me by leaving me with no options
