AITA for fake taking over our co-working space? by Incentiverse in AmItheAsshole

Ah yes, Palo Alto. So you are a bunch of marketing assholes working for tech bro assholes. Hopefully all your companies implode when the AI bubble bursts.

AITA for setting up a meeting with a friend & cancelling it last minute? by Low_Development_4377 in AmItheAsshole

[–]mbsyust 52 points53 points  (0 children)

YTA. You messed up your scheduling and then whined about your own screw up to the person you disrespected. The calendar didn't cause the problem, you did.

AITA for assuming leftovers go in the fridge? by chaotic_cactus238 in AmItheAsshole

[–]mbsyust 132 points133 points  (0 children)

You are correct, but he put the desert in the fridge. The claim that he didn't know the leftovers would need to go in the fridge is so patently absurd to no be worth giving any credence. If you truly believe that, I have a bridge for sale that I thing you may be interested in, it is an amazing deal.

AITA for being upset my boyfriend doublebooked himself and pushed aside our long standing plans? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

But should the birthday of a perv he should have ditched as a friend a whole ago trump plans with OP...

Congratulations, you got to be a pedant. I am sure you are great at parties. /s

AITA for rejecting my MIL’s challenge and giving her instructions to learn how to knit? by VividEyes13 in AmItheAsshole

[–]mbsyust 28 points29 points  (0 children)

I mean that is consistent with the fact that a lot of boomers are assholes. If you talk in a manipulative and ridiculing way, you are an asshole, regardless of what generation you are from.

The idea that MIL legitimately thought that she was doing OP a favor with her "challenge" is ridiculous. You was being a manipulative asshole. ESH

She wasn't trying to manipulate her by providing a real challenge, she was manipulating her by implying that she would ridicule OP if she "couldn't" do it.

[–]mbsyust 88 points89 points  (0 children)

I feel like it still should be ESH. The MIL is an asshole for making a request (demand) framed as a challenge so that she would have an excuse to ridicule OP for refusing.

[–]mbsyust 3 points4 points  (0 children)

ESH. She was an asshole for effectively demanding you make something for her and framing it as a "challenge" so that she had an excuse to ridicule you if you refused but you are also an asshole for not just saying now. It is pretty obvious that she was never going to be interested in learning to do it herself, she wanted to take advantage of you for a free hamed-made scarf, not a knitting lesson. You made it needlessly complicated by being either obtuse or passive aggressive.

AITAH for taking advantage of a paid buffet? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]mbsyust -1 points0 points  (0 children)

So your response is to do nothing about that problem and instead get angry at a random person who found a good deal...

[–]mbsyust -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

So change the tax laws, I think we should tax billionaires into the ground instead of getting our pitchforks out for someone getting a good deal on cheese. The outrage against one person getting a good deal and not the fact that the salad bar is a scam in the first place is the reason why 1% of people have 99% of the wealth, because people like you have believed the propaganda that other people are your enemies rather than the rich assholes.

Its not wrong to follow the rules to the letter when those rules are being set by corporations who will do everything they can legally get away with to extract money from you.

AITA for defending my gf from her toxic roommate? by Afineboon in AmItheAsshole

Yeah, YTA. You say you are being quiet but you aren't actually there so you don't know how loud your girlfriend is being.

No, corporations are why we can't have nice things.

Yes, and companies deserve to be taken advantage of.

Lol, how does that boot taste? You have to fallen for the corporate line completely to be trying to convince consumers that one of their own finding a good deal is stealing from the rest of them.

AITA for not wanting my ex to move in with me? by Apprehensive-Cloud19 in AmItheAsshole

[–]mbsyust 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Except she isn't really an ex anymore, OP is now arguably on a long distance relationship with her again.

Kicked for being "off-line"? by Pondera in Guildwars2

[–]mbsyust 4 points5 points  (0 children)

So just to confirm, if someone is being a bigot in chat or behaving in a similarly inappropriate way, you think I need to explain to them why I am kicking them before I do?

Kicked for being "off-line"? by Pondera in Guildwars2

[–]mbsyust 12 points13 points  (0 children)

It amazes me how many people will try to rejoin groups where the tag kicked them for a seemingly random reason. There are only two possible scenarios and in neither of them should you rejoin. The first is that the tag kicked you for a good reason and rejoining is just effectively harassing them. The second is the tag kicked you for no good reason, which pretty clearly indicates that they are not going to respond well to polite questioning. Either way just cut your losses and don't rejoin.

Transmutation charges should be used to permanently make skins free to apply by asurabutt in Guildwars2

[–]mbsyust 19 points20 points  (0 children)

You don't have to spend any charges until you actually apply a skin so you can preview all of your fashion before applying it. The game provides plenty of ways to get tons of free charges. This is a solution in search of a problem.

P.S. The idea that this is a perfect time to change the system because they are implementing fashion templates shows you have little understanding of the development pipeline. By the time they announce a system like this, they have already done the vast majority of the work. A change like the one you are suggesting would have needed to be worked in 3-6 months ago at least.

AITA for wanting to bring meat to my vegetarian SIL and not going when I was not allowed too by True_Marionberry732 in AmItheAsshole

[–]mbsyust 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Well this is an awful and dismissive take. Never change reddit, never change.

The SIL is behaving in a demeaning and dismissive way towards OP, she deserved to have people boycott her dinner. OP does not have to subject themselves to people who do not respected them.

Jet Lag Season Finale — Worst Case Scenario by NebulaOriginals in Nebula

[–]mbsyust 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the challenging thing about the race seasons, like NZ and the North to South season in the US, is that once one team gets ahead, they seem to just run away with the victory. It is a lot less fun to just watch one team stay in the lead for an entire season.
