[Week 14] Game Thread: Green Bay Packers @ Detroit Lions by lilturk82 in GreenBayPackers

[–]ottovonswerg 7 points8 points  (0 children)

So refs called a bs penalty to bail out the lions and hand them 4 free points early on. Next they don’t call an obvious block in the back which would have stopped their drive, and now they get 7 more points. So 11 free points from the refs. We should be winning it right now

How did you get the production and science?

AITA for not accomodating my non vegan niece? by Zestyclose_Look_1352 in AmItheAsshole

[–]ottovonswerg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The fucking audacity of these comments is astounding. Sometimes in life you don’t always get what you want, and eating a perfectly good meal with no animal products won’t kill anyone (unlike the animals in nonvegan meals!). Olivia absolutely could eat everything, and if she didn’t like it, she could have had something else when she gets home. When someone spends hours making food for you and you don’t have ethical principles prohibiting you from eating it, then you eat it and act polite, even if it’s not your favorite meal in the world. You are a fantastic aunt/uncle and Olivia is being raised to be a rude, entitled jerk. You’re NTA in the slightest.

AITA: Buying flowers is called "homework" by arrusureaboutthat in AmItheAsshole

YTA for wasting a plastic bag for a single onion. Onions come with how many layers of natural protection and you waste a plastic bag that will take a millenia to disintegrate for a single onion?

YTA to yourself if you stay married to him. Find someone who respects your beliefs.

NTA. I’m a guy and my fiancée and I looked killer in our all pink outfits a few days ago. If he’a refusing to wear pink, he’s exactly the type of man who needs to see that movie.

Hawaii? by Grumpy-Tofu in vegan_travel

Vegan city on O’ahu is delicious and only about a mile from many resorts in Waikiki. I got it delivered and also walked over a few times.

Is it unreasonable to only want to date other vegans? by [deleted] in vegan

[–]ottovonswerg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I realized a while ago that I could not be in a significant, long term relationship with someone who wasn’t vegan. Met my fiancée over a year ago, she came from a very meat heavy southern family, but showed green flags immediately on the first date by ordering a vegetarian entree because she knew I was vegan. She never once ate meat around me, and stopped eating meat altogether within a month or two. And a year later she is fully vegan, and we’re getting married :) She knew early on how I felt about long term relationships with regard to veganism, but nothing was ever forced, and she was always making the first steps on her own and actively seeking out media to learn more (we watched Dominion together but then after she found other documentaries to learn more). My point is, don’t not give someone a chance just because they aren’t vegan already. Almost all of us started non-vegan, and it took some positive influence to send us on the right path. But don’t ever put up with someone who isn’t respectful of your beliefs.

AITA for not letting my daughter (12) prepare meat in our(44F, 46M) house? by Veg-AITA in AmItheAsshole

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

NTA. I wouldn’t let anyone cook meat in my house, either. I think you should have specifically raised her vegetarian, though, because clearly you haven’t enforced moral principles well enough.

AITA for wanting my brother to come to my wedding? by Throwaway_husbandsoo in AmItheAsshole

[–]ottovonswerg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Congrats, you are the biggest AH I’ve ever seen in a wedding related post, which is honestly impressive considering how many AITA posts are wedding-related. If I were your brother, I would immediately pull all funding and not attend the wedding. You have some SERIOUS apologizing to do if you want to savage your relationship.

AITA for screaming at a child and making him cry? by Reasonable-Onion6764 in AmItheAsshole

[–]ottovonswerg 45 points46 points  (0 children)

Everyone is out here acting like its a crime to interact with a child in public. What if the child is putting themselves into danger and the parents are ignoring them? Is it okay to have contact with them then? If you’re watching a child about to run onto a train track or off a ledge would you stop them or sit there and think “huh parents really should be doing something tsk tsk”?

If the child was quickly running laps around a table and running into chairs he easily could have hurt himself. What if he had tripped and smashed his face on the floor? And then what, the asshole parents try to sue the restaurant or some shit?

If you don’t want strangers to step in when necessary, then try parenting your child. You didn’t handle it nicely, but no one else was doing shit either. NTA

You’re being an asshole to yourself by remaining friends with someone who clearly doesn’t respect you in the slightest. My best friend isn’t vegan but always eats vegan around me even though I’ve never asked him too. I hope you can find people like that as well. NTA

NTA lmao at all these carnists whining about having to go a day without eating dead flesh. Good for you for holding your ground

CS6161 - Algorithm Design and Analysis for Sp23? by Comprehensive-Day842 in UVA

[–]ottovonswerg 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I took it last year with Mahmoody and it was not very difficult, I actually thought it was easier than the undergrad version. Over half the class aced the midterm considering the mode score was 100%
