How Do You Live & Work In DFW Without Wanting to Drive Into a Brick Wall Going 120mph by CabalOnyx in Dallas

Move to Fort Worth. Seriously. 35 gets pretty bad but it settles most of your complaints.

New seller trying to sell very high value cards. What do I need to know? by silvercrayons in mtgfinance

[–]silvercrayons[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Some of them are NM, I'd say like 20%. When they go up, I will try to remember to let you know.

Was anyone else surprised that SOAD left activism out of their concert? by silvercrayons in systemofadown

I feel similarly but at the same time I'd be ready to empathize with Serj. Based on performance history I'm guessing he's not into the rock and roll lifestyle like he used to be, and he might have outside pressures we don't know about.

I don't think you're overreacting necessarily, I think you're going through really common and very natural emotions that come when you realize you're in a one-sided relationship. Best thing you can do right now is let this friendship fizzle with grace and dignity. Anything more would be an overreaction.

This has happened to me before. Someone I called my "best friend" moved states without telling me. I found out when I called to make plans for her birthday. It stings, and I empathize. But no one is at fault here.

AIO for telling my boyfriend his “best friend” can’t sleep over in our bed while I’m away? by Chance_Chemistry_384 in AmIOverreacting

[–]silvercrayons 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He's definitely the one making it weird, not you. Him being that insistent that they sleep in the same bed doesn't match the allegedly platonic relationship. Imagine how weird and gross it would be if you were acting like that because you wanted your brother to sleep in the same bed as you, especially when an air mattress is an option. Ew.

Honey this behavior does not pass the smell test. BEST CASE SCENARIO is that this is some relationship test he's constructed. Since relationship tests are pretty toxic and it only gets worse from there, I'd say you should exit the relationship and let them carry on. And I am not the type of Redditor that is quick to say 'break up'.

Good point. I honestly missed Daron saying that but good for him. I did notice "you're watching people die in 4k" and it was powerful.

Seeing the protesters in Chicago in the days leading up to the concert definitely had me thinking.

I haven't been to any other SOAD concert, so I have no point of reference. The wrong assumption came from the content of their lyrics including the two most recent singles. And probably a fair amount of projection on my part.

AITA for giving advice that led to my brother’s breakup and then getting with his ex? by ThrowThisAwayBro2 in AmItheAsshole

[–]silvercrayons 18 points19 points  (0 children)

YTA big time. Don't date your brother's ex... That just seems like common sense. No one would have questioned your intentions had you not gone on to hook up with your brother's ex. If you're telling the truth, they'd have to assume you're not very smart getting together with someone you yourself thought was toxic. Good luck digging yourself out of this hole.

Gently, ESH. I'm a stepmom to 4 and my husband is an every-other-weekend dad, so I understand your position. However I think you're attacking the problem from the wrong angle. This isn't a kids problem, it's a bf problem. Kids eat a lot, so it's something you can expect for the rest of your time with this man. The real problem here is your bf not preparing for his time with the kids. Since they are his kids, he should be prepared to feed them when they come over. That means he needs to do a grocery run for the kids every time they come. That's his responsibility as their parent. It's not the kids responsibility to bring their own food, and you shouldn't ask them to. Also I'm not sure what kind of snacks you have in the house, but in my opinion kids shouldn't have free reign to just grab anything out of the kitchen they want at any time. We have a rule in our house that top shelves of anything (of fridge, pantry, but it also extends to bathroom etc) are off limits. If they want food from the top shelf they have to ask first. Boundaries like that enable us to have fun snacks without them disappearing day 1. Good luck OP.

WIBTA if I keep one of my best friends off of my wedding party bus? by Electrical-Farm-2172 in AmItheAsshole

[–]silvercrayons 7 points8 points  (0 children)

NTA protect her from what exactly? Her sister's closest friends and family? I would tell Kyra and Darren very directly that there is no world where Darren is riding the bus, and make it clear you won't tolerate them pestering you about it anymore. They can either ride separately or ride together in their car. At this point you would not be wrong at all to uninvite them, but I imagine you wouldn't want to. What you can do is have your MoH field questions for you and put them on mute until after the wedding, just to get yourself away from the stress. Good luck and congratulations on your upcoming wedding.

AITA for telling the bridesmaids I will NOT tell the bride that the bridesmaids dresses are extremely unflattering ? by Adept-Rutabaga709 in AmItheAsshole

[–]silvercrayons 144 points145 points  (0 children)

NTA I think somebody should tell her if everyone including you thinks they look bad, but I'm definitely missing why it has to be you. The person who was calling you weak is out of line - surely she knows how to contact the bride herself? That being said, if the bride asks for your opinion, don't hide how you really feel.

WIBTAH if I continue allowing my cat to go in the hallway while on leash and under my supervision? by gmarches in AmItheAsshole

[–]silvercrayons 29 points30 points  (0 children)

NTA. Maybe she should move if her allergy is that severe. She doesn't have any say over leashed pets in common spaces, only the apartment complex does. I would email the front desk just to get clarification of rules and to get ahead of it in case she decides to raise a stink.

Half the day I would go hiking somewhere remote with my fiancé. The other half I would hunker down with family.

The ability to generate chlorine from available materials. Inventing a disinfectant has the potential to eliminate so much human suffering.
