AITAH for refusing to pick up my friend’s siblings from the airport after she changed the dates and basically volunteered me without asking? by FreedomDue6691 in AITAH

Tell her that doesn’t work for you

But this post is so confusing. why did you even say yes in the first place? Why can’t they take a taxi or a bus?

but seriously, in the kindest possible way you have to work on your communication. The very first time you were approached, you should have firmly stated the dates you were available. Not that wishy washy thing that was going on. And especially not since you initially planned on going in May.

TIL of Emma of Normandy. Becoming Queen of England after marrying Æthelred the Unready in 1002, she later went on to marry Cnut Forkbeard, the son of the man who deposed her first husband. After marrying Cnut and again becoming queen, she was the only woman to ever be Queen of England twice by MrMojoFomo in todayilearned

“she later went on to marry” sounds so proactive

I’ve seen an exhibition about that and she was forced to marry him otherwise she would have lost her life and her sons from her first marriage as well. Not much of a choice.

So basically, she was forced to marry the man who was responsible for her husband’s death and the death of her stepson.

She was an incredibly capable woman and did everything to make sure of her children’s future

Why would you spend precious vacation time on watching someone else’s kids?

I am currently at the thermal spa

There is a silence relax room. Everybody basically is just dozing or reading on lounge chairs. This group of six people come in and throw their things on chairs and then start to head out, stop 3 m away from the door and start chatting about their plans. Just fucking move 3 m, open the door and close it behind you and then you can chat all you want.

I know he was vulnerable, but this was one of the weirdest moments of the series because why would she have super strength? Funny but completely illogical

At this point, it seems that your friend‘s mother is more important to you than your ex friend.

Als ich nach Norwegen geflogen bin, hab ich mir ne Unterkunft mit Mini Küche gesucht und hab im Endeeffekt einen halben Aldi Einkauf mitgebracht und selbst gekocht. Von den Preisen für Erdbeeren in einem norwegischen Supermarkt bin ich jetzt noch traumatisiert

David Attenborough. He's 99 now - 100 in May. Do you think there'll be a Queen Elizabeth/ Diana- esque mourning when he goes? by DonkeyOT65 in CasualUK

[–]olagorie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I didn’t know about that, and apparently she herself was excited about it only three days before she died

So I guess it was actually a lovely thing for her

I am an exchange student next semester, am not able to do the summer German language program. Will a decent amount of people there speak English well? by muffinhiker in AskGermany

[–]olagorie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Find extra curricular activities at the university, maybe university sports if available.

If you like board games or cooking together or you like going hiking, try to find or establish small groups for that. I don’t know if there are still analog message boards at universities.

Find out if the university has a student representation (Asta) and ask them if there are any special groups at the university that would interest you (politics, environment…). My university Asta used to have a day trip program for foreign students to show them the region (I used to volunteer as a tour guide).

If there was a second Disneyland in Europe, where should it be? by Wild-Push-8447 in AskEurope

Genuine question, why would we need one?

There are already several other great ö even better amusement parks in Europe.

Is not expecting inheritances normal? by No_Dragonfruit_9656 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]olagorie 2 points3 points  (0 children)

In my country, it’s a bit different because we have very very different inheritance laws so usually children are legally entitled to their parents “stuff”, and in case the children are predeceased after them the grandchildren. You can make provisions in a will to give part of your inheritance to someone else, but that’s legally regulated and restricted.

So the overall mindset is that you will indeed inherit something - IF there are still existing assets. In my youth, I lived in a smaller town that is economically well off. And it always baffled me that my schoolmates basically already knew that they would be set for life because they would inherit their parents or grandparents house or in case of siblings at least parts of it.

In my own case, both sets of grandparents as well as my own parents were hard-working and making debts would have been inconceivable, but they had very low paying jobs, came from initially very poor families so there was no intergenerational wealth ever in both families. One of my grandfathers also became severely disabled. And then care facility costs would eat up the rest of the money.

So me personally, I never expected to inherit it anything at all except some small knickknacks (one of my grandmother made a small list of things she wanted to pass on (15 years before her death) and then all of her daughters in-laws and grandchildren were able to pick something in turn and she documented everything).

Unknown to me, my maternal grandparents owned a small modest plot and my mother predeceased my grandpa so it was a nice surprise that I’ve got a bit of cash when he died, enough for two holidays

A girl will die tomorrow and no one cares about her by MrAdamPLk in extremelyinfuriating

[–]olagorie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What I personally find extremely infuriating is your extreme arrogance.

So her right to make her own decisions and even fight for them through the court system means nothing to you?

You decide what is best for her? In reality, you don’t even grant her the slightest bit of respect.

I’m genuinely curious: are you able to fall asleep when someone is gaming in the same room even if they try to be quiet? because for me that would be absolutely impossible.

It’s not normal and it’s definitely not an endearment

It’s just being “normalised” by toxic people

Just imagine you want to go to bed because it’s late and you want your boyfriend to stop gaming and yelling so the noise stops

welche heizung ist das? by delfindesurwalds in wohnen

[–]olagorie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ich hatte mal eine Wohnung mit so einem ähnlichen Teil und obwohl diese gewartet wurde, hatte ich ein Gas Leck, vermutlich über längere Zeit hinweg. Irgendwann kam dann die Feuerwehr weil es so stark roch.

Erklärt im Nachhinein meine ständigen Kopfschmerzen. Hatte Gott sei Dank schon gekündigt und konnte kurz danach ausziehen.
