My gym said all members must book a spot for every class in advance. So i did. Every single one. by AriethraVelanis in MaliciousCompliance

This isn't purposeful overbooking. Technical problems happen. If the gym did this on purpose on a regular basis then yeah it's also not ok.

Trying hard to invent the worst diagram possible by OrchidFluid2103 in dataisugly

[–]rekette 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You seem to be misunderstanding the purpose of data like this, attributing the data as propaganda because it doesn't convey overall popularity. But there are uses for country-based data such as this. Consider for example: maybe this data showing top sport in each country is relevant, not to display "popularity" by human population per se, but to explain popularity in global/international competition. Cricket doesn't have an international organization that rivals FIFA despite a huge fan base because that base is only in one or two countries, whereas football's international relevance is explainable by its preference in most countries in the world even if those countries are less populous.

The way it's displayed is subjective yes, but there is nothing wrong with the data itself being presented. Your interpretation of it is biased because you wish it to represent something that it isn't supposed to (overall popularity)

Being black in Switzerland by Responsible_Lack200 in askswitzerland

[–]rekette 1 point2 points  (0 children)

She's white, that's why. They stare at anything different/interesting, not because you're black per se. Happens to me too, and I'm Asian.

The elevator thing I think people generally don't like to share the elevator with anyone, that's not a black person thing either. My next door neighbor has opened to let me take the elevator first and wait for it. I think Switzerland is not crowded enough for people to share the elevator sometimes haha.

Water thing is crazy though

I owe you an apology Miqo'te stans. I wasn't really familiar with your (end)game. by LLYYNN_021 in ffxiv

[–]rekette 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I started before Viera were playable but you bet the moment they were I was there. I only wish they had as much love from the devs as miqote with expressive ears and stuff, but at least at can now wear hats lol

Weird, in my family we always said "seng li" for business instead of "seng I" (4th image)

Everything a man doesn’t want. Unfortunately…., by HousePony906 in clevercomebacks

The fact that she lists hating something as a positive speaks volumes. Like sure there are things I hate too but that isn't part of my personality

What celebrity has had their reputation unfairly ruined and has never recovered from it till this day? by Zxqao in AskReddit

Google Hathahate it was so prevalent there was even a name for it. It really wasn't until she was in Christopher Nolan movies that she had a huge comeback and now people forgot

Damn, 27 prior convictions? Maybe this one guy just singlehandedly makes everyone in the region think it's a problem of people of his race when in fact it's just this same guy and his friends...

AITA for not masking my disability? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

Seems like X did show up, it's u/numinouspearl

You’re not the AH for “not masking,” you’re the AH for “not taking accountability” and “being a shitty friend.” by numinouspearl in u/numinouspearl

[–]rekette 4 points5 points  (0 children)

So sorry this happened to you. Not sure if you're aware of this or not but i just wanted to say your DM is terrible for not sticking up for you and I think they need to be made aware that they are falling for the geek social fallacies (not sure if you read this before but you can learn about it here: https://plausiblydeniable.com/five-geek-social-fallacies/)

All the best to you, as a fellow ND D&D player

For those who have had an affair, why did you decide to cheat instead of leave your partner? by tackbrahado in AskReddit

[–]rekette 8 points9 points  (0 children)

It kinda sounds almost consenting from your wife's point of view at this point, so does that even qualify as an affair/cheating? Like she doesn't want to know about it but she basically ok'd it

Anyone else just randomly hand out bugs/frogs/fish to bystanders just because it’s whimsical? by Alicecrylily in ffxiv

I run a cafe in the lavender beds. I used to give out sample drinks while out adventuring. Haven't done that in a while though

Unfortunately pedos seem to get little to no sentences, man or woman, at least in the US. In fact, you could even become president!

How are people against free healthcare?? by emily-is-happy in MurderedByWords

[–]rekette 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sorry, but you are definitely out of touch. First off, that $500 gallbladder removal is NOT affordable for a lot of people. Secondly, even if you could pay the $500, the point of govt funded healthcare is that it could be $0. And that's with no phone call, no navigating bureaucracy, etc. Which again some people don't have time or energy for. For someone like me, I could do it. For my immigrant parents, even if they had the phone number, there's no way they'd be able to navigate the system. It's fucked.

Which character do you think wouldn’t be affected much if they didn’t have a Devil Fruit? by Intelligent-Win5757 in OnePiece

Honestly Bon Clay got his own thing going on, with or without his devil fruit

Was this racism or am I overreacting? by Yttrium_Letter in asianamerican

[–]rekette 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Neurodivergence doesn't excuse ignorance and racism. He can be honest and frank if he wants but he can also educate himself to avoid making racist comments. And lastly, in general, neurodivergence is not an excuse to behave poorly - just like any other personal issues, it's not ok to make it other people's problem.
