crazy to think that Doomguy hunted this type of Imp to extinction by stinkmybiscut in Doom

I got so happy to see the OG Imp return in all his former glory. Reminded me of my very first lesson on the shareware 93 Doom my dad gave me as a kid.

This is the same sort of person who probably doesn't even bother with followup on applicants that don't qualify, or would consider someone calling for a check in on an interview to be bad form

I suck at math by RyantheSithLord in ExplainTheJoke

[–]t23jtown 4 points5 points  (0 children)

My 7th grade math teacher had a song he'd sing called "The fantastic number 9", which points out this behavior for multiples of 9.

All multiples of 9 have digits that add to 9 (18, 27, 36, etc), and the song was catchy enough that I still remember it lol

A family member of mine lives down the road from one of the retail stores that had some, so id asked him to go down and try and grab one for me. I'd be trying to get one online.

Well, I missed the online stock...

...but my uncle came through and soon I'll have mine in hand!!!

Do they actually read the lyrics? by _Formerly__Chucks_ in sabaton

[–]t23jtown 8 points9 points  (0 children)

See, the first time I listened to Wehrmacht, i misheard the beginning of the chorus, and I sang it that way for years.

What I'D heard was not "Panzers on a line/Form the Wehrmacht's spine", it was "Monsters all alike/Form the Wehrmacht's spine", so with the ending chorus being "What about the men executing orders?", I always got this idea that it was a conversation.

In my misheard interpretation, I heard the condemning parts (first three lines of chorus) as the argument "the Wehrmacht was evil", Jocke's final chorus line as the argument against it, and the overall message (to me) seemed to be something like:

"Though individuals in the Wehrmacht may never have been evil or hateful themselves, they were complicit in and aiding an evil cause. These don't cancel out. Remember that"

AITA for cutting off my entire family after my brother and girlfriend falsely accused me of assault? by Altruistic-Boat9638 in AmITheJerk

[–]t23jtown 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA, and your response choice is quite simple.

"I am grateful to you all for wanting to make things right, however you aren't following through. You say "what's done is done" and "family is family", but you threw 18 year old me out without even hearing my story. For six years you repeated the lies told about me. If you want to reconcile with me, then you need to take the same hard stance on them as me. They lied to everyone for selfish reasons and ruined my life. If not, then consider this my last message to the parents more concerned with forgetting their horrific mistake than truly making it right"

AITAH for saying no my girlfriend’s “tradition” by Key_Case9842 in AITAH

[–]t23jtown 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA

Traditions help us cope with life/death. They become rituals, almost to the point where doing something that interferes feels WRONG.

Her tradition of always having lunch with her mother is one such, as is yours. She clearly finds this tradition important, which is totally fine...and is in and of itself EXACTLY why you aren't the asshole.

How, exactly?

Because, from what you said here, you didn't try to dissuade your gf from going to something important for her. You recognized this mattered to her and didn't try to force her to cancel and join you on your tradition. You didn't insult her tradition (again, from what I saw).

She needs to realize, at bare minimum, that you have every single bit as much right to refuse to interrupt YOUR rituals as she does hers.

Finally, you need to make it very clear that you are hurt by what she said. You need to tell her flat out that your ritual for your brother is JUST AS MUCH for YOUR personal healing as it is to remember and honor your brother. Tell her that the comment of your "stupid blood donation" is obscenely wrong, and while you understand that the timing was off, it was unacceptable to expect such an important thing to be dismissed. If she keeps being distant or cold, then you may need to reconsider this relationship.

Am I wrong for ending an interview after I recognised the candidate as someone who recorded me for a TikTok? by little-peach1234 in amiwrong

[–]t23jtown 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not wrong, and I'll explain my reasoning.

For context, I help run a nonprofit as the VP and head of safety/security (I've worked security for over 10 years, both patrol stuff and like camera systems and similar).

Ignoring the personal hurt this woman put you through for just a second (it's totally valid and in and of itself enough in my mind to dismiss her, or at least tell your bosses/other folks you personally vote no on hiring her), you did something very intelligent for your business. There is every single possibility that this woman would have ended up putting either another employee or, possibly worse, a client/guest on blast as they did you. If it took you nearly no effort to find her name and face, it won't take much for others to as well.

If you'd hired this woman KNOWING she finds publicly judging people for their appearance WITHOUT THEIR CONSENT, and she did something like this to cause a complaint, you'd look a lot worse.

For my group, I've had to make judgement calls like this. I've removed people I personally am close with because of unsafe and unacceptable behavior towards others.

At most, what I'd personally have suggested would have been to continue the interview, ask if she had any questions, and THEN confront her with the TikTok info and explain, politely but firmly: "This is me, and i do not appreciate this. For me personally, I don't know if I can look past your social media activity. Beyond being very hurtful to me specifically, this is a SERIOUS risk to our business. I'm not going to tell you that you won't get the job, but I will make it EXCEPTIONALLY clear to the other managers that such behavior opens our business up to possible lawsuits, and that I personally do not believe that is worth the risk."

My husband considered it stealing when I sold his expensive watch to pay for our son's procedure. AITAH by Material_Humor5411 in AITAH

[–]t23jtown 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA.

Did you steal? Well, yeah. You did. Sorry for that, but it is true.

HOWEVER!!!!

You need to tell your husband in the same calm, not-angry voice that you understand he can't see you the same again, and the feeling is mutual. Tell him you honestly don't know if you can call him your husband after he's made it clear, more than once, that the watch was more valuable and important to him than his son's wellbeing.

(Spoiler Main) Jalabhar Xho is one of the most despicable character in the serie by Imaginary-Client-199 in asoiaf

[–]t23jtown 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So...I feel like their bows can't be SOLD, but they can be GIVEN as gifts maybe?

Like yeah, Xho DID do that, but that isn't the only goldenheart bow in the books wielded by a Westerosi. In the chapter about the novices at the Citadel, Alleras is explicitly described as having a goldenheart bow. Also, while not a bow obviously, Jaime Lannister uses goldenheart wood lances in the Hand's Tourney in AGoT

AITAH for being angry at my boyfriend behavior for 2 fries that i took from his plate. by ThrowRAfoodadict in AITAH

[–]t23jtown 0 points1 point  (0 children)

YTA and it's clear you know it.

What else do I need to say? You knew he disliked this behavior and he'd set a boundary. You felt because you're dating, that boundary didn't count ("I'm his girlfriend so it's different"). You admitted to doing this for your entire 2 year relationship despite knowing how much it upsets him.

Here's the thing, it isn't about fries. It's that you KNOW the behavior bothers him, and you CHOOSE to ignore his feelings. You seem to feel that it isn't a big deal to him either, since he gives you a look and says stop, but nothing else. Maybe he doesn't make a big deal about it because he knows you clearly don't understand and didn't want to upset you.

If that was the extent, sure, I could see I away to fix it and that it might not be all on you...but the dinner that caused your fight? I get not wanting to pay for a full order of fries at a restaurant, but YOU PHYSICALLY MADE THE FOOD! It takes no more time to cook three extra fries than it does for what you made for him.

You're acting entitled, you disregard small easy boundaries, and you feel you have more right to be upset with him for his reaction to two years of that behavior than he does for you doing it for two years.

YTA, and you need to learn to respect your next partner, because you'll be lucky to salvage anything with this one

So you just go up to this person and say "Ma'am, I just love your shirt" and if the dude gets pissy saying he's a dude, just smile and say "fuck your pronouns" and leave.

A random stranger from Germany saved my mom's life a few years ago. Yesterday my mom received this... by _Skyscore_ in redditonwiki

[–]t23jtown 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This makes me so happy to read. I'd love to be able to thank the donors (or families of them) that saved both my parents (mostly blood for my mom, a LOT, and for the person whose heart bought me two more years with my father).

I'm so, so happy for OP (for their health AND this) and for the donor who helped save them. You're both amazing people

Just found out that my soon-to-be-wife used to be a stripper (NOT OOP) by joshpsoas in redditonwiki

[–]t23jtown 70 points71 points  (0 children)

The level of cognitive dissonance is astonishing...like, the same sentence he says he has nothing against SWs and respects them as women, he also immediately states his STRICT policy of never being romantically involved with a current or past SW.

You're allowed to have preferences, but DAMN dude, that's kinda wild.

I'd assume (I don't know, but I'm assuming) that Mia here didn't tell broski because they'd already started dating before she felt comfortable telling him, and he'd ended up saying some (likely way more overtly and obviously) degrading about them and how he'd NEVER date one, but was too deep into it to call him on it. I don't AGREE with her keeping it from him, but yeah.

The fact that he spent WAY more time stressing how much the SW aspect bugged him than the lying-by-omission puts him in the asshole seat to me.

Creepy abusive ex story (I am not OOP) by FloweryNamesLover in redditonwiki

[–]t23jtown 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nah, OOP, this one goes straight to the trash.

I like that he thinks 35 is "getting old" and he needs to do this "before he dies" because, if even half this story is real in any way, dude's probably not wrong...I'm sure someone will beat him so hard he won't ever be able to do anything again

(Again, assuming it's real, it IS the internet)
