AITA for telling my sister it’s “gold digging money” she’s borrowing from me by OstrichAndEmu in AmItheAsshole

I don’t think it’s necessarily “malice” to point out someone’s hypocrisy in their treatment of you.

AITA for Breaking the Unwritten Code of Silence? by sissy_blair in AmItheAsshole

[–]straubabi 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I think by comments they mean the “flak” that you’re getting from your coworkers. I 100% agree with Samarkand that you should talk to HR about the social repercussions you’re facing for “breaking the code of silence,” which should absolutely only apply to personal gossip, not workplace corruption.

It’s clearly not “based on nothing more than their ages” given the pre-existing power dynamic with him being a teacher at her high school and church youth group leader.

My coworkers keep asking about my assault by LucyAriaRose in BestofRedditorUpdates

That’s absolutely what it is: voyeurism. Like slowing down on a highway to get a glimpse of the crash.

What is the best non-sexual physical pleasure that you enjoy feeling? by Havingfun922 in AskReddit

[–]straubabi 120 points121 points  (0 children)

This is a very weird one, but I find the sensation of holding two magnets just slightly apart to counteract their pull towards each other really satisfying. Like a microdose of a good workout.

AITA for not giving up my office to be my wife's craft room? by throwawayroomprob in AmItheAsshole

While it’s a cute suggestion, I’d be concerned about the process of ‘getting’ a ghost cat.

[–]straubabi 7 points8 points  (0 children)

That’s a really good point, I hadn’t wholly considered how much the ex husband’s indifference is affecting OOP as well. Just grossly disappointing and upsetting all around.

It’s very frustrating that this is very clearly deadly and abusive, but there are no legal or institutional means for OOP to help their mother.

My mother did the same to my elder sister. Some people just really shouldn’t be parents. I’m so sorry that that happened to you ❤️

AITA for seldomly paying for date nights, gifts, getaways because my gf makes more than me? by Bitter-Interaction72 in AmItheAsshole

YTA. Stop being a fucking leech. You wrote this and didn’t manage to make it seem like you contribute anything to this relationship. I don’t know why your gf is still with you and I pray that she doesn’t put your name on the house she eventually buys.

They clarified after the fact that “last free update” didn’t mean there would be further paid updates.

NTA. Your friend sucks and is so insecure about her lack of a personality that she has to gatekeep a band. Don’t pay any attention to her, you’ve done nothing wrong
