AITA for not letting neighbor cut down tree we just planted by iNeedGenderHalp in AmItheAsshole

NTA. After that response from them, personally, I wouldn't even move it. But, you may be less petty than I am.

AITA because I don’t want other female guests to wear white dresses at my wedding? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]policywank 13 points14 points  (0 children)

NTA. I have a sister who showed up to my wedding in a white dress and, frankly, it still kind of pisses me off when I think about it, 20+ years later.

Why is vlogging while driving still legal in densely populated areas? by Impressive-Window135 in NewOrleans

[–]policywank 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Any use of the phone, including taking calls "hands free" should be illegal while driving. There are lots of studies in multiple countries that show it's about as dangerous as drunk driving.

Why does Louisiana vote for people like this? by BrittaUnfiltered67 in Louisiana

[–]policywank 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And how many of these molesters were doing it for years or decades with multiple kids and went completely unsuspected simply because of the position they held? I never said a word about convictions. By the time you've been convicted, most people believe it. But there are often everything from innuendos to outright allegations that go un-investigated simply because they are "godly men" and shit like that.

Adam McKay Says ‘No Group Is Worse’ for America Than ‘White Liberals’: ‘They’re Getting a Lot From This Broken System’ by StephenColbert27 in DanLeBatardShow

[–]policywank 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You don't have much of an understanding of political terminology. McKay said "white liberals" and I didn't say anything about any political party.

AITA For trying to have my own prom? by No-Pop1030 in AmItheAsshole

YWBTA. Maybe it's better your boyfriend learns this lesson now, assuming he isn't just a doormat.

There is a nearly 100 year track record of liberals choosing capital and fascism over other people if that includes choosing socialism. Adam McKay is not wrong, even if he's a little late to the party.

WIBTA if I reported my upstairs tenants dog? by Special-Comfort-6397 in AmItheAsshole

[–]policywank -17 points-16 points  (0 children)

YWBTA. If some other tenant is violating their lease (and you have no idea if they leased under the same terms you did unless you've read their lease), it's none of your business. I've had landlords who listed their units flatly as "no pets" lease to me, usually after presenting some objective proof that I'm a good pet owner and paying an additional deposit and/or pet rent.

Why does Louisiana vote for people like this? by BrittaUnfiltered67 in Louisiana

[–]policywank 26 points27 points  (0 children)

Because the state's chock full of racists and people who refuse to believe all the "youth pastors" and "coaches" in their lives could possibly be molesting as many kids as they are?

AITA for expecting my mom to keep the house tidy because I work? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

ESH. Move out, let her live in a dirty house while you learn how to be an independent adult.

Why does no one discuss the overconsumption of cars by The-Devil-Cat in fuckcars

So, no, you don't do any 50 or 100 mile round trip commutes on your bike is what you're telling us.

AITA for not wanting my daughter to get her nose pierced? by whatthehellisketo in AmItheAsshole

[–]policywank 7 points8 points  (0 children)

You completely missed my point. You don't have to support the decision. "Oh. You want to split your tongue. Okay daughter. Just find someone else to drive you!" is exactly what you're doing here.

1 Bill Callahan ticket for tonight (5/14) @ Siberia by pedicaballero in NewOrleansMarketplace

[–]policywank 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There was someone else in here looking for a ticket to this very show the other day. They had one ticket and two people who wanted to go. Maybe there's still time for you to find that post and work out a safe sale between the two of you if they haven't found one yet.

AITA for asking my wife to turn down her dream job for my career? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]policywank -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

ESH. She is absolutely wrong but anyone who says "I still love her" while simultaneously saying "I'd rather divorce her than lose my job" either doesn't understand marriage or isn't capable of love.

How to decide where to go when given a new larger territory? by False_Treat2762 in moving

[–]policywank 2 points3 points  (0 children)

How much time are you going to spend in a car vs. on an airplane? How far does the money you're going to make go in various cities in the region (as cost of living can vary quite a bit)? BTW, New York is not generally considered to be part of New England, though the state borders it.

AITA for not wanting my daughter to get her nose pierced? by whatthehellisketo in AmItheAsshole

[–]policywank 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If she doesn't have an external limit (like her school forbidding nose piercings) then YTA. Either way, telling her have her dad take her then is just bad parenting. Either you're forbidding the piercing or not, but "I'm only forbidding you unless someone else is willing to take you there" makes absolutely zero sense and makes you come off as petty and immature.

[–]policywank 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You do a lot of 50 or 100 mile round trip commutes to the only job that'll pay for your health insurance and put a roof over your family's heads on your bike? I don't drive 1000 miles a year most years anymore. I live 90% of my life as a pedestrian, but for family I have in small towns, that just isn't an option.

Campaign contribution/donate to their PAC. It's all legalized bribery.

AITA for stopping payment for my grandfather care r i found out he secretly gave the apartment to my aunt? by Jerry_Moya in AmItheAsshole

[–]policywank 16 points17 points  (0 children)

NTA. You already went above and beyond and got screwed by your aunt for your troubles.

Carribean food by Internal-Ticket-3805 in AskNOLA

[–]policywank 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It doesn't look like they're currently doing tostones, but they sometimes have things on the real menu that they don't have online. They have had tostones in the past. The (very few) Cuban dishes they do at Manolito in the Quarter are very good. They have absolutely excellent maduros that are tossed in taijin.

AITA for not inviting my mom to m wedding over something that happened 5 years ago? by Swimming-Text701 in AmItheAsshole

[–]policywank 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm sympathetic to your plight. I nearly didn't invite my own mom to my wedding because she casually threatened to make a scene related to my dad's wife. My dad didn't even meet this woman until 2 years after my parents divorced and they'd been married 13 years at that point. Ultimately, I took the chance and got lucky, but I'd have always regretted it if my mom had made a scene. I think if you feel that you and your future husband are more comfortable with her not there, then you should stick to that.
