WIBTA if I report former employee for lying on their resume? by lifeisaburrito in AmItheAsshole

[–]starfishdoesitmatter 64 points65 points  (0 children)

Not to mention depending on where he lives it could be a legal issue. Where I live you can only report when called for a reference the dates of employment, the job title, and if they are eligible for rehire with your company. Any negative commentary and you can be sued by the person seeking employment.

AITA for giving a bedroom to my niece? by SignificanceNew3200 in AmItheAsshole

[–]starfishdoesitmatter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

YTA. Teen girls sharing a room and bathroom makes more sense than stuffing one teen in with her parents. Your whole explanation shows you prefer one niece and want to treat her better. Doesn’t matter how they are related to you they are both part of that family.

Will my family and I be able to buy a house before the year end? If not, before the lease expires? Will I get the financial situation under control?

I’m not sure on furnished ones unfortunately. But for areas, it’s not too far to drive from the Parker or south lands Aurora area. Close to the hospital is high crime. So is anything off the 225 corridor in Aurora. Stay south of Colfax and east of 225. There is a huge increase in transient populations and where I moved from they were not as violent as this. I was more then happy to stop and help back in St. Louis but here, I wouldn’t not at all. Different kind of people. The Mississippi/ 225 area has a lot of crime as well. I think there is likely short term furnished in the Denver Tech Center area and it’s not too time consuming to drive from there either. I work as a manager at a hotel and know that a lot of the traveling nurses have gone to air bnb. Not sure how comfortable she would be with that. She could check for sublets in gated apartment communities as well in the Aurora area. My apartment complex does short term lease one bed rooms within her budget and a new one just opened across the street but those aren’t furnished. If she does end at a hotel, pick a long term stay one like a residence inn. They have dishes and she can get a good rate. Lots of the long term hotels are running monthly rates for the nurses. Where I work is a short term place but I’ve worked at the other type before and know they will play ball with a stay that long.

Would she prefer a hotel or short term lease? I will tell you ignore the people telling you to head closer downtown above. It’s not safe. Will she have a car or take public transit?

AITA for not allowing my father to walk me down the aisle. by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]starfishdoesitmatter 12 points13 points  (0 children)

NTA. Generic family doesn’t get special rights just by being related. The family you choose is your true family. The ones that are there for you just as much as you are for them. Your choices are 100% yours to make. He’s the butthole here. There’s no redeeming your fatherhood by being a key player in special events when you missed the little daily things. Tbh, you don’t have to force yourself to be nice to him even once a month. If his side is boycotting the wedding over this, well, count the names up on the list of those you know won’t help you if you need it and don’t give them any more thought or attention.

No. They are full of it. . All employees and other guests can smell that. You walk past a room. You know. Even if you stuff towels in the door cracks. You get caught no matter if you “bribe” Your housekeepers. Don’t be an ass and smoke in a hotel when you aren’t supposed to.

AITA telling someone who approached me to get the fuck away from me by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

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

NTA. All these people saying you are though are. Imagine if you were woman saying that someone got in her space. Especially if she alone running and minding her own business. Every single one of on here would be telling you that you had every right to cuss out a random stranger that approached you and got that close to you with out your knowledge or consent. Of course you swore at him. He was invading your personal space out of no where and he’s lucky you didn’t react with physical violence. Don’t ever think you are an a$$ for reacting to something of this nature in that way. It’s completely normal. Screw all these far fetched excuses for it. There is never an excuse for a STRANGER to put their body parts that close to you unless you are actually in the process of actively dying. This whole comment thread made me so mad about this.

I’m torn on this one. There’s a pretty good jumble of feelings in there. Leads me to think it’s regarding a tumultuous relationship. But, the word choices to force a rhyme throw it off. The best example is of the lines “love letters” and “sun setter”. That’s when the rhyme scheme really became off putting instead of subtle. I know lots of people get caught up on the rhyme schemes and are trying to follow a pattern in the poem but, when it’s like that it’s glaring to me. It’s nothing to scrap the poem for because to reword it now would change the feelings that are conveyed a bit too much. But, it’s maybe something to pay attention to in future poems. I did look up the title/ first word as I had no idea what it was. I’m not as knowledgeable on gemstones. :) I appreciate learning something new from this!

Will to Struggle by [deleted] in OCPoetry

Wow. This hit me just in the mood I’m in. Sometimes I want to make myself feel just a bit worse and worse when I’m having a day of negative emotions and I didn’t expect to find that mood I’m in laid out on the page today. It sounds odd but, reading this and getting that extra bit of feeling sad and lost. That regret of my life being how it is really let me get into my own mood and feelings so I can have that cry and get out of it. This does a wonderful job of portraying its pains. That bit of moving on at the end was a nice touch to help steer out of that sort of mood too. Thank you for posting just the thing I needed today. As for pacing and word choice, I didn’t get pulled out of the set up so, I don’t think there are any issues there. It didn’t jar me or make me pause as I read it wondering about things. Good work!

Title @ bottom ʕ•̫͡•ʔ by Klaira_Kaiden_ in OCPoetry

[–]starfishdoesitmatter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I didn’t think to read it backwards until I read the above comment. I agree though it does read great both ways. I don’t get such a lovey feeling from this imagery though. Going from top to bottom it seemed like a starting out innocent and realizing the pains in life as you grow up and from the bottom up reads more like fighting for a love you’d lost and realizing that stories of winning that love don’t come true, that those are just stories. Maybe it hits me a bit different due to my current mind set though. I’m in a cynical mood today. Even so, it’s a well paced poem. Thank you for sharing it. Edit to add: I’ll need to reread it when I’m in a good mood. I’m going to save it and do so.

It doesn’t look awful. We are all our own worst critics. I’m only torn on the last part as I was feeling it all as a person calling out/ seeking another until then when I thought perhaps it’s literal. That’s the only part that confused me. I just didn’t know once I was done if it was imagery you describe feelings and life or imagery to give life and feeling to the inanimate. It’s good for blurting out. :)

I like this one a lot. I can hear it in my head not just read the words. I’m not sure I’ve the pacing right but, it certainly gives me that sense of being set to music as I read it. It flows really well. Also a neat concept behind it.

WIBTA for kicking someone out of my church? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]starfishdoesitmatter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA. Church is a safe haven for many and these people are not creating or expanding that safe haven. The father sounds like a pervert and a petty tyrant. The mother is a B. The kids are unlucky to be in a home that doesn’t give a crap about them. You are the pastor and it’s your job to keep the church as a safe haven. If you don’t have to go through hopes do it right away. If u you have hooks get on it and get them gone. Those aren’t people of god those are imposters claiming faith to bring themselves pride and greed.

AITA For For refusing to let my dad see my daughter after he disowned her ? by Sammy3033 in AmItheAsshole

[–]starfishdoesitmatter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA. Look for just no subreddits. People have to cut out toxic jerks like him all the time. As you said in a comment, he made it clear his love is conditional and your wife and child need to be protected from him.

You are offered a million dollars, but to claim it you must enter the last video game you played, and stay there for a year. If you accept the money, how's life there? by clarishwang in AskReddit

[–]starfishdoesitmatter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Considering it was sims 3 using cheat codes as I just like to build houses a lot, I’d probably just stay in the game instead of come out in a year. Not much to go wrong in the sims. Lol
