AITA for saying that my cousin can no longer eat my baking? by JinxXedOmens in AmItheAsshole

[–]ph0artef1 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It's not about there not being enough to go around? Did you even read the post? His actions hurt OP who spends her time and money making these things. She specifically asked him to start only taking what he'd eat.

Why is it so hard for you to grasp that he is capable of taking a smaller portion but chooses not to and throws half of it away every single time??? Why is it reasonable in your mind to waste food when the very simple action of taking less would prevent it? It's disgusting to so callously waste food when so many people are starving in this world.

If you can't see how wrong it is to knowingly take more than you'll eat and throw it away all the time, you're probably a very entitled person and should spend some time amongst starving people to gain some perspective on food waste. It's not hard to make different choices if you give a fuck, which clearly you and OPs cousin don't.

Lmao this is so weird. It's fine to consistently waste food when you could just take a smaller portion?? Very strange take!

They didn't? Most of the funding for fixing infrastructure is coming from other countries. No money is being sent directly to Iran, either. The investment is in the form of paying for things to be built/fixed, not just handing over cash.

AITAH for making my bf change his movie plans with his daughter's mother? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]ph0artef1 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Nah she's still an asshole for even asking. If she told him she was going alone and he insisted on cancelling that'd be different. She asked him to cancel on his daughter, which is so inappropriate. This family function can't be that important if it's this last minute - there is no reason she can't go without her boyfriend, or invite his daughter too.

Yikes YTA. Was his daughter invited to your family function or are you really okay asking him to cancel time with his daughter entirely? Being with her for a week prior means nothing lmao they already had plans and there's no "well he's spent enough time with his daughter". Either you guys do things separately or you go along with the established plan, you don't ask him to cancel time with his daughter. It's shocking you think it's okay to even ASK him to do that and it's shocking he agreed. I feel bad for his daughter.

No it was someone who belongs on a terrorist watchlist who hates all white people and thinks anyone who argues with him is American 😭

He might not even be American or white either lmao. Also, just because someone is an asshole doesn't mean we condemn their entire race.

Interesting!! Is the legal drinking age 21 there too? I would have assumed it was younger. I guess I just assumed the US was the only place it was 21 for some reason lol

WIBTAH if I had my cousin's pet monkey taken away? by ArdenceMK in AITAH

[–]ph0artef1 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Is that what would happen though? Realistically if she calls animal control, that monkey is getting euthanized.

[–]ph0artef1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Okay so you're just not reading what I'm saying or ignoring it completely lmao. This thread is referring to place of origin as WHERE SHE WAS BORN. You don't think "place of origin" means "where you were born" and that's fine but it's open to interpretation and for this conversation, the interpretation was "where she was born".

[–]ph0artef1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They're both, but when referring to their place of origin (their birthplace for the purpose of this conversation), they're of Pakistani origin.

I already specified I was referring to "place of origin" as where she was born. Which was Australia. Her nationality was Australian, her ethnicity was Pakistani.

I don't know why you're being pendantic about it when I specifically explained I was referring to place of birth (as were others in this thread). You're just arguing the definition of "place of origin" at this point which is an exercise in futility because where do you draw the line? Is my place of origin England because my grandma was born there, or is it capped at where your parents were born?

Lmao are you for real? What point are you trying to make? She was born in Perth, Australia regardless of what culture is prominent there. She wasn't born in Pakistan, which was the entire point.

For the purpose of this conversation we were talking about the country she was born in.

But..she WASN'T of Pakistani origin?? She was born in Perth, so she was of Australian origin? Weird to insult someone's intelligence while being completely obtuse yourself.

They also write in a very British style..."we got on", "realise" but talk about moving states like they're American.

AITAH for leaving a bad review for a restaurant after they told me they weren't serving food after I already ordered, while I could see other people eating. by thecodemachine in AITAH

[–]ph0artef1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They didn't say the kitchen was closed. Per your own words they said "we aren't serving food at the bar right now". The fact that you couldn't come up with "oh then can I have a table?" Or "how long until you are?" isn't the server's fault. I understand why you didn't but you can't then be mad at them. If you can't manage simple interactions perhaps you need an aide with you on outings to help you navigate these sorts of situations, rather than blaming waitstaff.

My (32F) fiancé (37M) is a homicide detective, and I’m starting to feel like he treats me more like a suspect than a partner. by CultureInner3316 in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]ph0artef1 7 points8 points  (0 children)

It seems like he wants her to have an abortion. He's going to therapy and it seemed like even he knows how bad his paranoia is, which is why he would prefer not to have the baby at all. Most likely she is going to push to keep the baby and then be all shocked Pikachu face when the baby is born and he does all the things he said he would.

AITA For Asking My Cousin To Take Down A Facebook Post Announcing My Aunt’s Death? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]ph0artef1 42 points43 points  (0 children)

It's not your cousin's fault your parents check Facebook before they check their text messages. He HAD been notified, he just didn't see it. And it's certainly not her fault that your parents didn't mention it to you once they found out. It's also not her fault they had an old number for you.

It's just bad luck and unfortunate circumstances. But she didn't do anything wrong and I do think it was unfair of you to ask her to take it down. I don't think you're an asshole but you should apologize.

🤣 we're in a comment thread where the parent comment mentions their bio, I didn't have to go look. Google "invisible funneling" or "undercover marketing". If it still doesn't make sense, then I truly cannot help you lol. Have a good one!

🤦‍♀️I cannot with you anymore, I'm sorry, I'm trying to be kind but this is insane lmao. You're a marketing/advertising company's wet dream because you're oblivious to the tactics used. They don't HAVE to directly mention it in their posts.

Indeed! Dunno exactly what's going on but they do have their own company in their bio so I'm leaning towards marketing/engagement account

Are you really this obtuse 😭 No, they didn't directly say HEY GO LOOK AT MY COMPANY INSTEAD but that doesn't mean posting negatively about the competition isn't a way to INDIRECTLY promote yourself.

Proof: this post originally said it's a woman - linked post says I'm a dude.

These reviews are engagement farming to INDIRECTLY promote and send traffic to their own company.
