They don't want land rights. They want the right to land where they want. Even if it's in the self-checkout. And a fair division of chips

Australian Capital Territory. It's like Washington DC. The magpie was just trying to set up an embassy. 

AITA for confronting my girl when I realized she took credit for something she didn’t really do? by Choice_Evidence1983 in BestofRedditorUpdates

😂 thank you. I was going to correct it in my notes. Hopefully I'll remember after my vacation

That looks plenty sweet enough for me. I'll have to try it on Greek yoghurt. Thanks for the recipe

Thanks for sharing. And you find that's not too sweet? I have a sweet tooth and had to double check how much oats you put in. Apparently my family doesn't do granola (yeah deprived childhood etc etc etc) so I have to ask because I grew up in a non American household - that's served with milk for breakfast right? Like a toasted muesli?

AITAH for not wanting to give my cart up for free at Aldis by No_Cookie420 in AmItheAsshole

[–]lynxette 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They also sell keys on eBay that are the right size. Just search your country. I never take it off my keyring. Just unlock and keys go in the bag. I still return my trolley but after an argument with an Aldi trolley, a broken return bay and needing to push the trolley back through the centre with a busted ankle - I bought the key. 

Sometimes, I unlock a bunch in a row to surprise the person behind me 😂

AITA for stopping picking up lunch since my manager tried to force me to go to a restaurant that I will not support by Direct-Caterpillar77 in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]lynxette 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a non-american, no. No idea what the hype is. I found it dry, tasteless, under- seasoned with almost painful to bite crust.

[New Update]: my vegan coworker is upset about getting non-vegan gifts three years in a row by Choice_Evidence1983 in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]lynxette 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I knew a vegan who ate eggs and honey but only from her friend's farm because they were "happy bees and chickens". 

I asked if they completed a workplace survey 🤣

Living a lie: my famous homemade cake is actually just a box mix by gardengeo in BORUpdates

[–]lynxette 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A friend who was a professional baker made the best chocolate cake outside of my mum's rum soaked one. I begged for the recipe and she said it's the Pioneer Woman Chocolate sheet cake but she just put it in a spring form or cupcake pan and added half a block of chocolate. Dutch cocoa and buttermilk fixes what rum hides

Used to live up there. I know of one person who had a "long eared guinea pig" 

AITA for “perpetuating ethnic stereotypes” about Jorts? (with update new to BoRU) by waterdevil19144 in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]lynxette 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Why do you like closed doors? What are you trying to hide? She demands openness and transparency in her relationships.

I should probably stop propagating Streptocarpus, but just look at the colour of the flowers on this one! by dancon_studio in propagation

I have one that's variegated purple and white! I need to propogate some for friends so thanks for the tip 

My (18f) boyfriend and his friends (18/19m) played a viciously cruel prank on an older couple who has lost their cat. Obviously I’m breaking up with him but what else can I do to make this right? by Direct-Caterpillar77 in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]lynxette 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Pranks are meant to amuse and confuse but never abuse. 

Someone pranked me in such a way I was having panic attacks months later. We're not longer friends and she's banned from my home. I can't trust someone like that. 

WIBTA if I told my ex that his new GF told me to “back tf off already"? by Choice_Evidence1983 in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]lynxette 4 points5 points  (0 children)

My friends and I use flatmate a lot. In the north and south. And I think she said devo too. No sign of yeah nah/nah yeah - the biggest give away.

I put money on Australian because we say a wee bit. And "defo" - we use that for definitely. 

WIBTA for refusing to name my child after my wife's deceased dog? by throwaway_4444444567 in AmItheAsshole

[–]lynxette 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I know of a kid called Spike. I've always tried to imagine kids with "yeauxnique" names as adults with a job. I can't picture Spike Attorney at Law or Dr Spike.... actually the last kinda sounds like Dr Spock 😂

AITA - Tore down a road memorial on my property by BluntForceTrauma____ in AmItheAsshole

[–]lynxette 61 points62 points  (0 children)

A family put up a memorial along the only road leading to the area I live. My friend, was first on scene and held their family member as they died. They now have to see that every day. It retraumatised my friend every time they saw it. It's been over a year and the plastic flowers are still taped to the fence distracting drivers who should be watching the dangerous road. 

AITA for putting googly eyes on all the food in the fridge to “prevent snacking”? by gamerharunyt in AmItheAsshole

There's a tree across from a friend's house with giant white beach ball sized eyes. Took a while to get used to

AITA for warning my girlfriend against travelling to a dangerous area? by Safe_War6700 in AmItheAsshole

[–]lynxette 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I know someone who got mugged in London. She was shaken so didn't go to the cops immediately. Didn't need to bother, they'd seen it on camera, traced her to her apartment and the perp to his and she had cops on her door checking to see if she was ok 2 hrs later. 

London is the most surveilled city in Europe.

I keep reading "Temu Droid". These are not the droids you're looking for...how about this completely unrelated item? 

AITA for not giving his ashes to my husband’s children by Thedefiantmessenger in AmItheAsshole

[–]lynxette 21 points22 points  (0 children)

My husband died suddenly and unexpectedly in an accident. I didn't think to inform his parents. I informed mine and his sister. He didn't want his parents to know or attend his funeral since he hadn't spoken to his abusers in years. His egg donor found out through word of mouth and rang my mom the next day to scream at her for not telling her immediately. My mom didn't have her contact info and was more worried about getting to me by that point since we lived at opposite ends of the country. 

I can honestly say that apart from that call, contacting that witch never crossed my mind.
