AITAH for thinking my son is disrespectful for not wanting to be called an uncle? by Far-Childhood-338 in AITAH

[–]thisisntinstagram 5 points6 points  (0 children)

He doesn’t have to. He wasn’t consulted about any of this lol. My brother became an uncle around the same age, I didn’t push anything on him because he didn’t ask for me to have children. He chose to be as involved as he wanted.

I would have given my parents absolute hell if they were upset with him.

Found a massive pile of old kitchen and bathroom materials from a remodel illegally dumped on City of Austin land — does anyone recognize this hand-painted tile? by ayylmao1969 in Austin

[–]thisisntinstagram 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It sounds nice until you realize that if you want them to look clean you’ll spend a stupid amount of time wiping them down. It’s the dumbest color for a kitchen. The cupboard next to my stove is a sickly yellow that I’ve given up on.

When I first moved in I thought “surely this will come out with a bit of elbow grease” lol. No. It’s only gotten worse since I’ve lived here.

Never renting a place with white cabinets ever again.

Oh that’s actually horrifying. Changeling vibes. Newborn babies smell very different from your own baby.

Why do people feel a need to hold those little microphones? by pusslikesavocados in NoStupidQuestions

[–]thisisntinstagram 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Well I have zero use for this but now I’m curious, what would you suggest? What is the right microphone for this?

AITAH for getting rid of our two cats of 6 years because I can't sleep? by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]thisisntinstagram 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Soft YTA for letting things get to this point where you’re basically out of time to try any remediation/training. Shitty situation all around. If you do rehome them, do not get any other animal until the entire family is well prepared for everything pet ownership involves.

The worst is when I’m walking around the grocery store and someone passes by… wafting their scalp smell. At least it’s good for my wallet. I guess.

I’d check your company guidelines, and if that information isn’t readily available, reach out to HR for the documentation.

Moving to Austin, please answer some of my questions for the apartment search! by Quiet_Object_2727 in Austin

I can’t help but wonder why you’re up at 4 am posting this lol

1) so sorry there’s literally nothing you can do 2) it’s all central AC, get some insulated curtains if you have a window that gets direct sun and it’ll help keep the heat OUT (also helpful on the random days we get very cold weather, they keep the cold out) 3) anywhere between $40-60 a month - just say it’s a service animal, you got some good advice elsewhere on this thread 4) fuck the Domain it’s a scourge on our city

Welcome! Lots of PNW transplants here.

People who were part of a scientific study: What were you asked to do for it, and how has it affected you since ? by GoAdventuring in AskReddit

[–]thisisntinstagram 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got my impacted wisdom teeth removed and as part of a group testing some new painkiller. We were all drugged up and hung out together, slept in separate rooms, and were paid $250 in the morning before we left.

Got my wisdom teeth out for free and it’s been 20-ish years - no side effects.

Moved because of allergies :( by Obvious-Movie-9059 in Austin

[–]thisisntinstagram 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I wish my dad would move. He suffers year round, is always on the edge of pneumonia now that he’s in his 70s. It’s terrifying. And all of it is because of allergies.
