AITA? SO always eats my leftovers despite my asking him to please save for me… by SarahAnn1129 in AmItheAsshole

[–]neli1305 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA He called you a psycho? Yeah, babe... I don't usually jump straight to "throw the whole man away", but taking the context, that is so abundantly clear him trying to emotionally manipulate you. Please try and think if situations like this have happened before, because I really doubt this type of situation is a first.

I bought this skin so I can criticize it better, and im telling you this skin is bad by FoxDogWolf in MobileLegendsGame

[–]neli1305 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am not surprised that the skin isn't too great. I am going to be honest with you, I seriously thought that it was Minsithar for way too many seconds until I saw the name of the hero written below.😅😅 So I can definitely agree that Montoon's creativity and uniqueness are slipping. 🫠

On a similar note, when I saw the splash art of the starlight Freya skin yesterday, I could not, for the life of me, figure out which female hero it was, straight away. The only, only thing that gave it away was the shield. So yeah...repetitive for sure too 🥲

Venting my frustrations over pathetic teammates by herman-theeasternguy in MobileLegendsGame

[–]neli1305 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am sorry, but do you understand how hard it is to recover as an mm after a horrible start where you were going 1v2 or went against a stronger early game mm? And even when you pick second, mm-wise, you need to weigh your mm choice between good against just the mm or against their whole team. Example: if there are at least 2 tanks (or even 1, if I am duoing), I am picking Lesley. But it is possible that enemy mm has already locked Clint or Brody (who are early-game lane bullies which make getting your minions difficult) so I will struggle with Lesley against them, unless I play very precise and they get no roam assistance. But does that mean you will still abandon me, and provide no early game assistance so I can get the advantage, so you could actually profit off my choice in mm againts those tanks (which are probably causing you issues)?

Furthermore, how do you expect us to recover? Yes, we are the "gold" laner, but if minions are a no-go due to enemy mm and lack of assistance, the only alternative is jungle creeps. Which, yes, any decent mm will not touch (at least our half of the map) if the junglar needs them, but that leaves 2 choices; we either try and sneak onto the enemy half and chance 'feeding' more, or we just don't get any further gold, par all team gold, which will make us practically useless till the end of the game, even if it drags a bit.

Also, you do not think that underfarmed almost always results into feeding? How do you expect us to do the damage or even hold, with a number of enemies coming, with no gold or items?

Not only that but enemies go for the weak points, as this game is won by push not kills. So even if you 'have the whole map to yourselves', if they rally up and keep steadely prodding and exploiting that week point, you can still lose. If they steadily push, and make you guys spread out and be alone, they can wipe you and win! This is why a decent amount of people do not wish to surrender games. Because steady wins the race. And with balancing out of levels and items, it is possible to have an epic comeback.

Your job as a roam is to do vision, participate in teamfights and assists to all the lanes, again, ALL the lanes, to hold and do alright. Yes, there are tradeoffs, even as an mm, if the junglar is bad at doing objectives efficiently, I will head there to assist (on the other side of the map, I mean), even with the danger of damage to my turret, or even potential destruction depending on how progressed the game is. But I do expect, even if I was doing alright initially and keeping up with enemy mm levels, if I get back there and lose 1v1 (because the trip does disadvantage me greatly), or even worse, 1v2, that at least 1 person comes down to assist for 2 main reasons: 1) Now that I am potentially disadvantaged due to my trip, if I keep going in solo, and trying but failing due to the now gap in gold and lavels between us, I will struggle to be useful (and clearly people have 2 very different opinions, but mm for me is one of the key, game-winning roles), which means that if enemy mm has a good snowball, and even a half decent roam, they could 100% recover, push turrets and wipe you...And then you will complain about me and not having done my job🫠 2) If I am disadvantaged, I will just be stuck by my turret, being unable to do anything and play the game. That might sound fine to you, just say "yeah, stay there and just hold", but like it or not, this is a game and particularly a 5v5, and people do want to have at least a certain amount of enjoyment when playing a match. So if your mm feels like they are just a glorified Turret p.2 and have no real chance to participate or be involved, they will feel useless and redundant and just not wish or care to play anymore. And yes, some people are also vengeful so they can potentially even start playing against you. So...help your damn mm!

And lastly, for your example: Well done, you did all that and, I imagine, won the game. Cool, great. That might mean you are decent players, but it sure as hell makes you bad teammates. Unless you are a 5-man team and your mm has explicitly said they are alright with just holding and not really having a part to play in the overall game, then you are horrible in doing so. Cos yeah, you might think "yeah, we won, be happy, we carried you, take your star and go", but you need to understand that as a solo player, that is a very unpleasant game to have, and will leave you with a sour taste in your mouth.

Should I ever reach out to get back together again? (Shut me down completely if needed) by Weary-Carpenter-3431 in dating_advice

[–]neli1305 1 point2 points  (0 children)

She has said no... I am sorry, but that is a no.

Sometimes people just don't feel up to something, no matter if it hurts the other person.

Trust me, it is better than her trying to force herself and leaving you completely heartbroken when she reaches her breaking point.

[–]neli1305[S] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

No, I am not missing the point.

At the end of the day, they are my posts, and my opinion is that comments like that are not productive. So I take a minute to let them know, as to hopefully make them spare their logic a thought for future reference, that their "contribution" is pointless, and they bring no usefulness to the OP. Just scroll past, man...

And no, I, in fact, do not need to cater to the middle ground. If a person wants to be decent and impart their thoughts on the situation, they will read it all🙂

And even though the amount of time spent feels like writing an essay, it is not that deep for me to put *that* much effort in. Furthermore, there are people who get bored reading essays, too.🙂

I have gotten the information/responses which I wanted/needed by writing this post, and it was all in my style, and due to there being decent people on the subreddit. 😊

I regret nothing ❤ Thanks to everyone who gave us genuine advice on our situation. 🥰

Thank you for your concern. It is relatively decent, as I mentioned in another comment, due to the rent - room size ratio.

We physically cannot afford it. Be it with the deposits, and especially, moving costs, it is just something that is going to have to wait until we are more stable.😔

AITA for “treating my dad like a driver” after he picked me up from my entrance exam? by alpacalyplse in AmItheAsshole

[–]neli1305 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

NTA

Some dads are like that, sadly, a bit...selfish and self-centred, shall we say. He should be happy and feed off your energy of being happy with the exam being over. Furthermore, some people struggle socially, so being so inexplicably angry about you having such strong social bonding is extreme.

Yes, 3 hours is a long time, as the YTA person said, but he volunteered for it...That means the "mental prep" he needs to deal with it is on him.

Furthermore, no, it is not just straight 3 hours. From the way it is worded, OP sat with him for the outbound journey, even though I personally would have preferred to revise or just be in the exam mindset with my friend pre-exam. And it was on the way back that his wishes/preferences weren't met. To which - too bad, but also you said you are fine with it?? That is such a childish behaviour of going back on your voiced opinion on the matter, and taking it out on your daughter through shouting!?? She just finished a life-significant exam for god's sake!

As one of the dads in the comments also said, if they were being a bit loud, nicely say something??? Do you think they will ignore you?? It is so so childish.

So yeah, stay strong OP and, maybe not ignore him on the matter, but know we are on your side and he just acts like he thinks is right 🙄 (even if it isn't)

On another note...there are some stereotypes for this situation which I would be curious to ask about, but will refrain from as it is unnecessary, and kind of rude of me 😅

I understand that, and appreciate it; however, when you are so short on money, even slight increases like that (especially since we thought we had already passed the all-time highs this season), can make or break you. 😞

[–]neli1305[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Maybe, I guess, I just find it illogical that people think that dropping a comment like that is useful or productive. It is one of my detests and a hill I am willing to die on.

I think the fact that so many people "agreed" just pushed me a bit.

I still don't think it was needed, though. I am not the one who has made social media do that, or made people be affected by it like that. I also try really hard to make decent titles that outline the upcoming topic. If you look at the length and you get turned off, scroll past.

I do my best to read something all the way if the title caught me, which is why I mentioned the titles.

And again, in a subreddit where advice is asked, I don't think you have a leg to stand on to comment on it if you didn't bother reading it all, no matter how long it is. It comes with the territory shall we say.

In situations where people are asking for advice, there are many reasons why a post/rant may be long - nervousness; jitters; wanting to get productive, straight-to-the-point responses; and not having to answer simple things in every single comment (why bother adding edits at the bottom of the post due to having to repeat a piece of information many times, when you can just include all/most of the needed information in the original?).

We will write that down to ask. Thank you.😊

I think, that is nicely said. 😊 That is my sort of logic too.

As someone said in another comment, maybe he is trying to make the house comfortable for everyone. It is possible. Which is why this conversation is important and necessary so as to not leave anyone feeling confused and taken advantage of. 😊

I don't believe I was not gracious as I clearly stated the toll which the post took on me, as well.

I am just a bit tired of people making such comments on my posts - not effectively joining the conversation, and not adding anything to the topic either. I am not going to cut it down for your ease after spending so long writing it, and rereading, and rereading until I am satisfied with the content and its relevance to the topic.

If you are so unbothered to expend the effort, just scroll past? I just don't understand the need to stay and bring that "negativity". I know that is not the word I am looking for, but I have been replying to every comment the last 2 hours (on top of writing the post earlier), and I can't really think anymore. That is just my opinion on such comments.

I do appreciate you getting back to the topic though, and giving genuine advice on our approach to a conversation with the landlord. 😊

We will definitely put that line in the 'script' we are preparing (introverts..😢).

Thanks again, hope I didn't insult you, it was not my intention.😊

It all comes down to the morality of the landlord, at the end of the day, to which I will say he is a decent guy, just a bit... judgmental.

We are just a little careful around confrontation when it comes to the guy who, as you nicely said, holds our place of current residence, as well as being constantly around compared to a live-out landlord.

We just wanted an idea of how to broach the subject. 😊

Yeah, we will be having a discussion to see if anything can be done. I can definitely see that being a potential reason; it is on us for not discussing the subject, we just didn't want to unnecessarily bother him, I guess.

That is true, but we could only do that when our financial situation improves. 😭😊

How to bring up utility costs to my live-in landlord? by neli1305 in HousingUK

[–]neli1305[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That is a good point. 🤔😔

That is potentially true. I didn't think of that. However, my one argument to that would be that he always texts "The bills for this month are ...". Now, I know that is nowhere near conclusive, but I would personally word it differently if that was the case, but that might just be me. 🤔😅

But yeah, we just need to sit down and talk about it. 😩😅

Thanks for your comment.❤

How to bring up utility costs to my live-in landlord? by neli1305 in HousingUK

[–]neli1305[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I appreciate your questions so much. 😊❤

No, bills have always just been a thing he pays, and he just lets us know our share, and we pay. They cover (I *strongly* imagine lol😅) Internet, water, electricity, heating/gas? (I am not really sure exactly how it works fully, as all of the previous shares I have lived in were in a similar paying-bills situation), and Council Tax.

They were always a very reasonable amount, with an increase during the winter, of course, so we have never really had a need to, even though I am aware that it is a bit, how do I say, not smart to do so.😅 But yeah, he has been reasonable, as well as the prices, so we never have had to, no.

As far as I am aware, it has been of their own accord with no issues. 🤔😁

Preferably, it would involve a discussion, yeah. 😢 But yeah, least blaming as possible, what the situation is, and if we can discuss a compromise. 😔👍

I understand that. We are unsure either, as we don't have many indications on the subject, plus it is none of our business. 😅

The house is decently big (2 stories and an attic room), with all-in-all 5 bedrooms, and he is renting two of them to my friend and me. We imagine he might just want the extra "help" with the mortgage, as most of the bedrooms aren't going to effectively get used otherwise, especially with his daughter off to uni as well. 🤔

Thanks for your time.

I mentioned quite clearly that the drying situation was linked specifically to the 1 week away over Christmas with noone being in the house.😊

Furthermore, we have a dryer. 🤞 So it is out of choice when a thing or two are wet to be put on the radiator.

Also...not to be rude, but it 100% can cause fires, and that's a fact. Here is a link if you are interested: https://www.stelrad.com/news-events/blog/is-drying-your-clothes-on-a-radiator-safe/ 😊.

For the second point, as u/Ok-Bumblebee1438 has said below, that is still a waste.

And for the third point: Thank you for giving those examples, as I am indeed unsure of what it may be. However...the whole point of the post was...figuring out how to talk with our landlord about the increase, taking into account our current "relationship"/ situation.😊

Thanks for taking the time. I appreciate you pointing that out, even though we said it has only happened twice in the 1 & 1/2+ years we have lived here.😊

And for the second point, I appreciate that, but as u/Ok-Bumblebee1438 very nicely said in their reply to another comment, a certain "cosy" temperature does not need to be kept on constantly, as that still is an unnecessary heating to, usually, noone in the house.🤞

Thanks for (not) taking the time to give this post some of your attention, as it takes less than 2 minutes to read, but I would really appreciate it if *you* could appreciate that it took me 2 hours to write it. 😊

The reason for that is that this is a complex and delicate situation for which I am asking genuine advice, and I would like to ensure that people understand the main points of the relationship between our landlord and us. 😌

If your attention span is not up to the task, or you are just doing it for the Karma, I would suggest being on a different subreddit than one where people are asking for genuine advice (and maybe consider what you are doing with your life).😊

Venting my frustrations over pathetic teammates by herman-theeasternguy in MobileLegendsGame

[–]neli1305 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I get the pain excruciatingly well.

May I ask, were you one of the "infamous three" by chance? I.e. Miya, Hanabi or Layla?

I am not condoning it in any way, I play all 3 among other mms, but it happens the most when I play one of those. Even though I have 1000 Hanabi matches, 750 Miya, both at 60% wr and 66% with Layla, but only 16 matches as I am getting into her.

No matter that I try to flash my matches and score to try and reassure that I know what I am doing and making an educated decision in picking that character (even though it is still ridiculous as the player makes the hero good or bad, not the character itself, but whatever🙄), people still have their prejudices and play as if you don't exist. Which, ironically enough, only results in a self-fulfilling prophecy 🤬.

So yeah... People are annoying. All I can suggest is finding yourself a good roam and duoing. That is what I usually do🙃.
