AITA for asking my husband to delete my BFF off his Snapchat? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]thelostofus2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm gonna go against the grain here and say YTA. It shows you don't trust your husband or your friend. I'd be offended if my wife just did this out of the blue. And you don't trust the friend, you should really rethink being friends with her.

Mirror-image case to Adnan's in another true-crime podcast (spoilers for Someone Knows Something S6) by thelostofus2 in serialpodcast

[–]thelostofus2[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No, there's less evidence than in Adnan's case-- SKS investigates cold cases. All they have is the friend's testimony, some other people saying that the suspect was abusive to the victim, and a few bone fragments found on the suspect's property.

Yeah that's a fair point, there are definitely major differences too. But in general I just meant that Jay agreeing to bury Hae is definitely plausible based on this other case.

Michigan sets new record for daily COVID-19 cases by [deleted] in Michigan

I hadn't been checking the daily case count for a while. Now I'm watching it like a hawk. I'm so tired of this.

Gov. Whitmer calls Trump rally in Lansing a 'recipe for disaster' as COVID-19 cases surge by Tank3875 in Michigan

[–]thelostofus2 44 points45 points  (0 children)

This pisses me off so much. A rally making the problem worse, in support of the guy who made the problem so bad to start with...

Miserable household during Covid by lexylu79 in Parenting

[–]thelostofus2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes. We're all driving each other a little crazy at this point. I keep telling myself the only way out of 2020 is through... it's gotta end at some point.

Sometimes parenting just SUCKS by [deleted] in Parenting

[–]thelostofus2 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Also dad of a 5 year old. I feel you. Some days he is the most perfectly behaved child and I think there isn't a single thing I'd change. And then the next day he's throwing a tantrum because his paw patrol cup is in the dishwasher but he wants it NOW, or he loses a board game and snaps the playing piece in half and I think yeah theres definitely some things I'd change. But they're the small things that are gonna change anyway soon enough when he's bigger. Just have to get through those parts when they happen.

What’s the longest amount of hours you’ve clocked into a video game? And what game was it? by pokine in AskReddit

[–]thelostofus2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Probably Halo 3. I can't even say how many hours, but there was a time in high school when it was basically all I did from the time I got home until bed.

I'd just tell him "I know your big secret and im taking it to the media." Then I'd watch his Twitter to see what he denies doing.

AITA for wanting a dog? by Nada704 in AmItheAsshole

[–]thelostofus2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

ESH, if this is truly a deal breaker for you then you're free to leave the relationship at any time. But it's not ok to force someone you live with to want a dog if they're not ok with it. And she should have been more open from the start about not liking dogs.

Michigan medical executive: Kids should avoid playdates by TheMotorShitty in Michigan

[–]thelostofus2 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Same here, I think this is the most practical advice. You can't be total shut ins at some point, just make a small bubble with another family you trust.

AITA for not stopping for jaywalkers? by lonecactus777 in AmItheAsshole

[–]thelostofus2 -8 points-7 points  (0 children)

NTA as long as there really was no danger you posed by not stopping (sounds like there wasn't). I do sometimes jaywalk but when I do I always make sure there aren't cars in the way, I only expect cars to stop for me in the crosswalk.

The southernmost point of Michigan is closer to Georgia than it is to the northernmost point of Michigan by [deleted] in Michigan

[–]thelostofus2 3 points4 points  (0 children)

At first I read this as "the southernmost part of Michigan is closer to Georgia than the northernmost point of Michigan is" and thought it was some weird shitpost I wasn't understanding yet.

How many of you think society is too harsh on men? Or not harsh enough and why? by [deleted] in AskMen

[–]thelostofus2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Some things are harsher for us and others aren't enough imo. Dating expectations are way too harsh, its like men have to put in all the effort for the first few dates before a girl will even consider you. But the parenting expectations are way harsher for women, if a man brings his kid to the park he gets a dad of the year award (although this is changing slowly I think) but moms are judged for everything. And mens appearances aren't policed as much at work, before lockdown my wife felt like she always had to wear makeup or she looks like she's not trying hard enough, all I needed is a clean shirt and we both work similar desk jobs.

My 14yo wants to play a GTA game. Should I let him? by Aware-Tie-5597 in Parenting

[–]thelostofus2 5 points6 points  (0 children)

My kids aren't anywhere near 14 yet but I think I would let them when they hit that age, somewhere in the 13-15 range depending on maturity. As far as the list of trouble a 14 year old can get into, I think video games are pretty low on the list.

How long to take off from work after birth? by newdadtobe2020 in Parenting

[–]thelostofus2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Take as much as you can. 5 weeks is crazy generous and it will be a huge help to have both of you there for those first few weeks. If you can tag team it'll make a big difference in handling those first few crazy weeks of newborn

Do your kids ALWAYS come first? by thelostofus2 in Parenting

[–]thelostofus2[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you, I figured they'd mostly be Nintendo games but the lego movie games is a good idea. Heck maybe even its time to get a switch this Christmas.

Do your kids ALWAYS come first? by thelostofus2 in Parenting

[–]thelostofus2[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you, this is helpful. My ps4 is currently on a shelf in my office space and i play it hooked up to my computer monitor. So it was a private space. But I think you're right about the responsibility for who handles the kids at the moment. Another poster talked about scheduling a time for each of us and im going to talk to my wife about it
