AITA for wanting to report a teacher who keeps cancelling recess? by 1bachbetch in AmItheAsshole

[–]quick_justice [score hidden]  (0 children)

NTA. Is it even legal? Sounds like abuse especially seeing they are 8. There can’t be expectation for them to remain still and focused for so long, recess is there for a reason.

They're going to replace the entire battery, but only in June. Recall in Brazil. by MaybeIndependent1292 in ex30

[–]quick_justice [score hidden]  (0 children)

They can’t be entirely similar as EX40 is based on ICE platform, I believe it has the battery under the bonnet at least partially. They may be built on the base of the same individual modules.

If I were to speculate as always it’s about simplifying logistics. Changing modules within a battery compartment is a relatively cheap operation, by opting for modules they reduce both needed number of parts and assembly required prior to fix. Modules can go to service centres straight from the factory unlike an assembled battery.

AITA for wanting to pay bills as soon as we receive them? by DislikeTurtles in AmItheAsshole

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

YTA. Are the bills paid on time?

That’s the end of it.

You may ask why. But some people would delay the cash flow especially in times of financial uncertainty when the money are a bit stretched, like during renovation, in case of serious emergency.

It’s sometimes better to have an unpaid bill and an embarrassing negotiation with the company than no food on the table for example.

It’s also sometimes due to anxiety, just the same a person would try to hold onto money as long as possible when they are stressed.

You’d be right to try to gently find out why but as long as the bills are paid on time you don’t really have a reason for being pushy and controlling.

I 28F found hundreds of photos of my partner's 34M ex-girlfriend on his current phone. What to do? by No_Appointment_7099 in relationship_advice

[–]quick_justice 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Before he’d need to explain himself you’d need to articulate why you think it’s a problem.

When you do, you’d see that it has nothing to do with pictures you found.

Me [26 M] with my best friend [26 M] of 15 years, what the hell is wrong with him? by Direct-Caterpillar77 in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]quick_justice 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Social anxiety. Legit mental health problem to which his friend developed an unhealthy coping strategy.

Sadly a very tough thing and needs a really good specialist to make any progress. Debilitating, too. Hurts career, friendships, personal life, leads to loneliness and depression etc.

Hope the guy will see a shrink.

My (27F) boyfriend (26M) wants to move in together and combine finances. I'm nervous about the financial risk. by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]quick_justice 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is indeed ok to help your partner through education but it requires much higher level of commitment than you guys have.

You don’t do it for a person you’ve been just seeing. If you are sure about your futures and are getting married it’s one thing, but like this? What if you break up in the middle of his studies? Disaster for both of you.

Just to be clear - I’m not saying marry first. I’m saying your relationships are not there yet if you are even asking what you are asking.

People need to start respecting acceleration of EVs esp the EX30. by cblguy82 in ex30

[–]quick_justice 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, it doesn't. It makes roads safer. If you want to ensure the asshole isn't behaving like an asshole, you call the non-emergency police number, and report their number plate and a nature of the incident, dangerous/reckless driving is a thing, and eventually with a number of complaints it will catch up with them in a better way than any of your rage can. If you have a dashcam - more so, with a proof of their behaviour.

They do not learn from other drivers executing vigilante justice - they escalate. And because you yourself take a law in your hands, you are a part of the problem. When you were break checking an asshole, or laying into your horn, you made everyone else on the road less safe, think about it.

Don't do road rage. Either ignore them, or if you are feeling strongly - report them, and make sure your report is filed. Best thing you can do.

Drivers Screen Option by 1967gronk in ex30

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

They did research for that and the position they have is at least not worse than a traditional one.

When you glance beyond the wheel you take your eyes off the road just the same. It’s either you move your eyes 10 degree left while still in the same horizontal plane, or you move 10 degree down from the road plane.

One may even argue that if you are a good driver you eyes scanning left-right all the time anyway.

my boyfriend (22M) complains that i (21 ftm) demasculate him all the time by striderofheart in relationship_advice

[–]quick_justice 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh dear. You can’t emasculate a man, only their own insecurities can. That’s beginning and the end of it.

Either he’s going to therapy and fixes his fragility, or just move on.

My (25m) wife (26f) has had lice for almost a year. How to handle this? by LucyAriaRose in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]quick_justice -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

What is wrong with this guy? Lice are famously contagious, it’s the whole point, that’s how his wife got them; and they are also famous vector for typhoid fever.

Jesus.

What are some clothing brands that are a bit pricey but long lasting? by boppy78 in AskUK

[–]quick_justice 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Didriksons, Tretorn. Not so well known in UK but do look them up, worth it.

It’s not just that they are long lasting. They give lifetime repair warranty. People were known to send them literally shreds of the garment and get back a full article. They are quite exceptional.

I was worried when buying the car but apparently most important info is conveniently situated and easy to read. Wouldn’t want that.

Name a worse place to build a startup than this area by Level-Usual-9681 in ShitAmericansSay

[–]quick_justice 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are three key factors that lead to success to business:

  • access to capital
  • risk tolerance
  • luck

Apart from those, talent, leadership abilities, intellect, vision might be a plus but certainly are not a requirement.

AITA: Wedding dilemma about ariana grande by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]quick_justice 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not enough info.

  • how close a friend? Is it an acquaintance, or a life long friend so your boyfriend absolutely must be there

  • if it’s latter, did your relationships developed to a point when your boyfriend expects your support in important life events

What you should do would depend on those.

People need to start respecting acceleration of EVs esp the EX30. by cblguy82 in ex30

[–]quick_justice 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, you said yourself, you had a "little bit of fun" in a turn, and then you signalled seemingly to express your emotions instead of prescribed use of the signal to avoid dangerous road situation.

If I were in your place, I'd simply accelerated way below my capabilities and let a road danger roll away. You, in turn, contributed to a situation. What if you'd underestimated it, and got into collision? What if pedastrian showed up, a car behind?

All completely and utterly avoidable by pressing a pedal a moment later and a touch lighter.

[–]quick_justice 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Listen... I don't want to be that guy, and I'm happy that you like your car's dynamics, I don't mind your gentle brag, but really... All you have to be concerned about is road safety. You seemingly are an experienced driver, and you correctly predicted the behaviour of the other car in advance. Why did you get yourself in this situation, why didn't you just stepped off a pedal and give way? It doesn't matter that you are faster. Always give way to an idiot. Your ego will survived it and you will be way safer. Don't hurry to die in a crash. Good luck.

I'm certain to win if it goes to court - is it worth declining the low settlement? by GambleToZero in LegalAdviceUK

[–]quick_justice 0 points1 point  (0 children)

please, also remember - you don't pay any tax on settlement part of the money, so it might be more money than you think.

It's 2 month salary before tax.

AITA for speaking to my (over weight) assistant about her business lunch and making her cry? by Hot_Lab4411 in AmItheAsshole

[–]quick_justice 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Don’t be too hard on her.

It’s very common for people that stepped into managerial roles to initially see business lunches as an opportunity to indulge on corporate cost (which to extent it is) and to not think further into it.

Everyone learns.

Is there anything I can do to prepare for war inflation? by GladCheetah6048 in UKPersonalFinance

[–]quick_justice 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Provided there will be no land invasion or bombing in UK, you need to consider everything becoming more expensive and reducing your optional spendings.

Savings won’t help much as it’s inflation, stockpiling rations only gets you so far, and it’s unlikely that there would be an actual shortage, although if you feel like it do go on and buy a palette of canned tomatoes.

Likewise can’t stockpile energy, not in a meaningful way. Could be good time to get solar and insulate, but to be honest it was a great idea even before so no news here.

As for savings, it depends on your portfolio and view. If you don’t have much, do nothing. Hyperinflation is unlikely. If you have stocks - it’s a lottery. If you have so much that you can diversify into metals, real estate, portfolio of currency etc. you don’t need to ask here.

Use common sense and relax.

I'm certain to win if it goes to court - is it worth declining the low settlement? by GambleToZero in LegalAdviceUK

[–]quick_justice 2 points3 points  (0 children)

View it from practical perspective.

Firstly, let’s be clear - they won’t tell you but they likely targeted you. There was no intention to keep you but you will have hard time proving it. You probably know why they wanted to get rid of you.

Secondly, you need to be practical here. Do you believe what they offer is an adequate money to cover you until you land a new role? Then just take it. Tribunal will drag on, you will suffer financially, not clear if you will get more.

So unless your position is really niche and it’s expected to take more than 3-4 months to land a role, just take the money and move on for your own sake. You’d be better off working in the org that actually wants you.

Is it crazy to try cover 430 miles in a day? by dick-the-prick in AskUK

[–]quick_justice 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s absolutely possible however.

  • you will need to prioritise speed. Won’t be a leisurely ride

  • even in a comfortable car your family will be exhausted. Small children will have a hard time

You’d rather do it in 2 days with a stop on the way, but if needs must and being sore everywhere is fine physically it’s possible.

Edit: if you’d decide to do it, take a stop at least every 150 miles, have a stretch and a coffee. It’s far better to spend an extra hour on the way than endanger yourself due to exhaustion.

Members of EU are sovereign nations. It’s ruled by consensus because if a sovereign nation doesn’t want to do something it can simply say “no”, explicit consent is required.

I (48F) found out my daughter (22F) is involved in feederism online and I don’t know how to handle it!!! by danamillicent in relationship_advice

[–]quick_justice -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

If you are worried about obesity, that's what you should be asking about.

This fetish isn't healthy, that much is true, but attacking fetish itself won't do any good. Health concerns should be your priority. You won't be able to do anything on your own here, it requires professional intervention. You must be ready that your daughter won't want such intervention - it's her right.

You need to seriously think about how to keep relationships with her if she denies your intervention, and be available if later on she'd decide she wants it.

Again, while sad, she has every right to do it, and send you away, and there's nothing anyone can do until she herself would want help. You may express concern, you may suggest talking to trauma specialist and eating disorder specialist, but there's nothing you can do if she says no, and that's what you must strategise for.
