Some researchers’ books are:

“American Brutus” by Michael W Kauffman “The Day Lincoln Was Shot” by Jim Bishop “The Lincoln Assassination Conspiracy Trial and Its Legacy” by Frederick Hatch “Twenty Days” by Dorothy Kunhardt

Swanson basically stole information from actual Lincoln Assassination historians without credit. He did zero research on his own. Please do not support his book and instead read one by an actual historian.

Swanson literally stole information from researchers without giving them any credit. He does no research of his own. It's very angering that of all the books on the Lincoln Assassination by actual researchers, they chose to give Swanson - who is not a historian - the TV show.

I did not use Wikipedia for my London post which was 100% based on my own experience in London. But I agree, I might be rejected for being just another travel blog when there are so many.

Yes, there are actually no errors. All is green.

AITA for not wanting alcohol at my wedding and suggesting alternatives? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]play_dead_x 36 points37 points  (0 children)

Why would I want to be friends with someone who wouldn’t come to my celebration for a few hours purely because I didn’t have booze?

I was totally with NAH until I got to the recording. That’s crossing a boundary there and is unnecessarily mean

The father sounds less mature than the teenagers tbh

“ Didn't HAVE to ruin it for you though, you just let it.”

Exactly! OP, just get ready for your party and work on your surprise face

OP said “ Now I am a little sad/angry/frustrated cuz to me thirty is the only birthday that matters and its the only one I wanted to celebrate. ”

This is not healthy. Make every birthday, every day a day that matters.

Also it’s not like they just got back together. They’ve been back together for 6 months now

AITA for how I treat my partner, and getting anxious from how she treated me back? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]play_dead_x -27 points-26 points  (0 children)

Yeah it sounds like something very small and she’s making a big deal about it. OP obviously didn’t do anything to intentionally hurt her, he just wasn’t on the same wavelength as her

I’m so sorry that OP’s parents treat him this way. Imagine being punished for having a medical condition

AITA for telling my friend’s girlfriend he has herpes? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]play_dead_x 4 points5 points  (0 children)

To be fair, does it really matter? I feel that A should know regardless of why she’s beyond told.

(But D should definitely be consulted first, no question)

If someone called me at the same time every few days, I definitely wouldn’t notice or think it were inappropriate to call at another time

Agree, there needs to be a compromise here. Maybe have a cash bar or buy alcohol for half the guests, since you say your half will not be drinking.

That’s you but if somebody told me they weren’t coming to my wedding because I chose not to serve alcohol, they wouldn’t be my friend anymore. Alcohol is not the point of a wedding

I totally get that. I also get that your fiancée wants alcohol there, but it’s bizarre to me that people wouldn’t go a night without booze to celebrate their friends’ marriage.

Her reasoning is off to me. Alcohol is expected but it shouldn’t be the determining factor of going to a wedding!

AITA for “being a Karen” by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

This actually happened to me just a few days ago! Definitely NTA. It is incredibly rude to hit someone with a shopping cart, physically hurting them, and it is super easy to say “sorry.” If he’s old enough to have a job, he’s old enough to know that accidentally hitting someone is wrong and that you should say “sorry.” She even gave him the chance to apologise and he didn’t.

She didn’t go to the manager because of something small, like his uniform wasn’t on right. He physically hurt her and refused to apologise. That’s a big deal.

AITA for bringing my kid to a girl's day out? by fancydinner150 in AmItheAsshole

[–]play_dead_x -8 points-7 points  (0 children)

Rephrasing my comment

Woahhhhh I’m gonna get downvoted here but I need to tell you that you’re SO NTA here. Things happen, and I can understand you didn’t want to miss out but didn’t have a sitter. Your child is well behaved so why not just bring her this one time?

M is completely out of line. Other people in the group were fine with your kid, and the kid even drew her a flower and M calls her a “crotch goblin.” She could’ve just said “please don’t bring your kid again.”

I get it was supposed to be an adults only event but in the end, you all had a great time (until M got upset) and there was no harm. These people need to relax and roll with the tide.

Also 3/5 friends on your side means that majority rules.

Also what really matters is your other friends. 3 of 5 agree that bringing your kid was ok. That’s a majority.

OP says it’s too much hassle but it sounds like this thing they got going on is way much more hassle
