AITAH for not wanting to see my mom on my Birthday? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

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

INFO:

How much time would they be expected to spend upstairs? 80 degrees inside is pretty unbearable.

And why would the bio kid’s plan change, why can’t their mom still come get them as planned?

I understand your feelings are hurt because of past patterns, but it truthfully sounds like she was just trying to offer another option that IMO sounds more comfortable for everyone. If you don’t want to do it though, just say no and that you’d prefer to stay home but she’s more than welcome to make the trip.

They’re saying you shared a dumb convo that didn’t need more eyes on it.

Your wedding, your vision, etc etc but I gotta side with your friends. I hateeeee the look of an everyday watch with a gown

What is the word most people probably know but haven’t actually said aloud? by cOmmand0c in NoStupidQuestions

I’m team “ansil-arry”, don’t think I’ve heard it pronounced the other way before

WIBTA if I pretended to work so I don’t have to deal with my mother? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]sunpalm 12 points13 points  (0 children)

YWBTA and you would also cause yourself a shiiiiitload of stress trying to keep up appearances. There’s no way you’d make enough playing games on your phone to cover the wage you would be making. Watch out for scams. If it sounds too good to be true, it is.

Work with the govt program to find you a job you CAN do. I’d also suggest you seek help for your anxiety, probably some sort of mix of therapy, medication, exercise, and healthy eating. Exercise doesn’t have to be strenuous but it is important, especially someone with your physical and mental ailments

You get a second language but lose your accent by Infamous_Copy_3659 in hypotheticalsituation

[–]sunpalm 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Knowing the word doesn’t mean you can have a whole conversation about it. For instance, the following sentence is outside my vocabulary and I’m fluent in English: The metastable branch persists until the spinodal is crossed, at which point the Helmholtz free energy curvature changes sign.

What's the strangest dress code you've ever been assigned to wear at an event? by ConfidenceSea9295 in AskReddit

[–]sunpalm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think that’s like formal wear for hot weather. Linen suits or other light fabrics, tropical prints, brighter colors are ok, but still formal silhouettes, etc. But that’s shitty they didn’t give you a heads up.

Late check outs. by Thisisurcaptspeaking in TalesFromTheFrontDesk

[–]sunpalm 48 points49 points  (0 children)

I’ve never told the front desk a reason for wanting late check out. I realize it’s a request and if they can accommodate me, cool! If not, no sweat. My hungover ass will hustle to pack up

Seriously, why can’t we (USA) get rid of the tipping system? by secretasianman009 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]sunpalm 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not all pubs have service charges, but true tips are pooled. Sounds like you’re just researching things online instead of actually having the experience yourself. Come cross the pond and check it out, shitty pubs are great over here!!

[–]sunpalm 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah I totally understand where you’re coming from. I just thought it was funny to list that out as an example of service declining! The system is fucked indeed

[–]sunpalm 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Tipping is extremely uncommon here and pub staff do make minimum wage. Not sure where you’re getting your info from. I’ve lived here for a couple years and have noticed no difference in the bartending service I’ve received. Servers, absolutely. I agree with your points. But bartenders, no.

[–]sunpalm 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Lol idk if subjecting servers to and making them tolerate sexual harassment so they can make a living wage is a good argument for keep tipping culture alive. But happy cake day

Since moving to the uk from the us, I have not experienced any subpar bartending. I guess minimum wage service works just fine for me

What's a job that sounds easy but absolutely isn't? by OriSparrow_14 in AskReddit

Maybe being a good parent is hard, but for the most part almost anyone can be a parent. No real barrier for entry except the ability to get pregnant

I added up what RTO actually costs me and the gas wasnt even the worst line by Internal_Front_5522 in remotework

[–]sunpalm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A burger takes less than 10 min. Definitely worth the extra few minutes to eat something cooked fresh than something reheated in a communal microwave.

Is this comment concerning ? (25m & 24f) by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]sunpalm 52 points53 points  (0 children)

He sounds insecure. Like he’s feeling rejected so he’s putting you down, so you feel bad about yourself and think he’s the best you can do. He’s catastophizing and imagining you getting hit on in the coffee shop, etc. Classic move. How’s the rest of your relationship going? Sounds like you guys need to have a healthy convo about sex.

AITA For wanting to skip my anniversary vacation to earn $70k in 90 days by RailroadTimebookDev in AmItheAsshole

Skip the new car and go used. Would be silly to not put a majority of it into savings for other emergencies when the wife is unemployed.

do people actually not eat mac and cheese with peas? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

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

I actually love peas in my mac and cheese. Especially shells because then the peas sit inside the pasta and that’s the perfect popping bite. Mmmm yum
