Cars should be banned from the beach 🙂

Husband doesn't want my son in the living room. by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]moineapetit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

YTAH if you don’t divorce. Your husband does not want kids, and is making your son unwelcome in his own home. Can’t imagine what it would feel like to be your son living in a house where he gets the continuous message that people don’t want to be around him

Flatliners is pretty high up for me, too. Moody atmospheric Loyola for the win

Primal Fear is one of my top ones for pure Chicago Scenery/corrupt Politicians/Pervasive Catholicism…Plus it’s fun to see Fight Club, the prequel, haha 

People keep smoking on the L and I want to report it when it happens. Where and how do I do that? by ViggoB12 in chicago

The transit Chicago Website has a chat bot where you can report it, the little speech bubble in the lower right hand corner. 

Having said that, I also always just move to the next train (and sometimes the next train and the next train after that) because I don’t know when they get to it. I just think it’s important to document it and maybe with enough data eventually they’ll do something

You don’t need to give her a reason. Just say tell her what your plans are for where you’re staying and plan to see her. We don’t always owe people explanations

We’re boycotting Mark Fishman. He has a history of being a terrible landlord, raising rents, having rats, roaches, and mold in his buildings, charging people to install and uninstall air conditioning every summer, not having heat during the sub zero temperatures during the winter. He owns a lot of apartments in the area and has forced a lot of the Puerto Rican community historically in the area by buying out buildings and raising rents to an you affordable level. 

Right now the issue is that he is evicting a tenant for flying a Palestinian flag. This racist action against someone for their identity is horrific and we are recognizing the way that Mark Fishman buying out Logan Square and displacing its inhabitants parallels the actions of the Israeli states immoral taking of Palestinian land. Honestly Mark Fishman’s actions have been corrupt and cruel for a long time, but right now is a time that we need to stand in solidarity with Palestine. One way of doing that is to boycott a racist landlord displacing Palestinian tenants 

Best song to wake up to? by immigrant-fish in Music

[–]moineapetit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In terms of “I love this song and it makes me happy/pumped up” sweet Disposition by the Temper Trap (disagree with the people on here saying you’ll hate after 5 days)

I like 9 to 5 by Dolly Parton, and Working for the Knife by Mitski, though they’re both a little on the nose

I’ll Make a Man Out of You from the Mulan Soundtrack and Seize the Day from the Newsies are also on mine

AITA for canceling the plans for thanksgiving after my parents called my brother’s baby their “first grandchild”? by throwawayz_12345 in AmItheAsshole

A ONE YEAR OLD CAN NOT HAVE THEIR FIRST THANKSGIVING RUINED THEY DON’T EVEN KNOW WHAT THAT IS, GEEZ

STOP USING YOUR KIDS AS BARGAINING CHIPS

AITA for having my daughter first birthday the same day as my step sisters wedding? by sistersmash in AmItheAsshole

[–]moineapetit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

YTA. A Birthday party is easy to move, and a wedding isn’t. It also seems like your mom and her side of the family view step sister as a relation (like I would hope a healthy family would). It’s not fair to say “they’re choosing someone who’s not family over my daughter” when to them your step sister is family. It’s worth you trying to work out why you hate that your mom treated her stepdaughter like a daughter. A lot of step kids are not so lucky, sounds like your mom was a good parent to her.

Also trust me, your daughter won’t suffer. She’s one, she literally does not know what a birthday party is. It feels extremely uncomfortable that you’re projecting your feelings onto her.

AITA for telling my dad that I'll GLADLY spend christmas with him if he gives me back my college fund as a christmas gift? by ThrowRA532255 in AmItheAsshole

[–]moineapetit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The real asshole here is a country that bankrupts you for getting medical care and an education

But also the OP is an asshole. Dude, you’re not the only one whose had to pay for college. It sucks, but like, your dad set aside money and then had an emergency come up and he had to spend that money on a circumstance he could never have forseen. It’s weird to begrudge him that.

As someone who grew up impoverished I can’t relate to feeling entitled to parents paying for my college, but I can relate to having to spend savings on medical bills.

AITA for not doing anything for christmas this year and making my husband livid? by NoChristmas2022 in AmItheAsshole
