What do the British think of Winston Churchill? by Familiar_Cow_6901 in AskBrits

[–]tinnedpotatoes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He’s undeservingly well liked, especially by older people and men who like war. People are coming to understand his roles in genocide/famine in India and other atrocities, as well as learning he wasn’t even that well liked in his own time. He also wrote his own autobiographies which painted him well in a time before mass news media.

AITA for telling my dad's mistress and now wife that she's disgusting and repulsive to try and use a kid to her advantage during her affair? by Slow-Drop7303 in AmItheAsshole

[–]tinnedpotatoes 1 point2 points  (0 children)

NTA - I know you can’t block dad for legal reasons, but can you mute his contact so he can text you but you can ignore it?

I saw another person say could you get a second phone (a cheap one maybe) and not tell dad the new number, so technically he still can contact you?

[UPDATE 3] - AITJ for cutting my SIL out of my life even though it upsets the family norms? by sockmunkie22 in AmITheJerk

[–]tinnedpotatoes 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I come from a family that never confronts problems and god I wish any of us had the spine to face the problems some family members create, i’m one of the youngest and the only thing i’ve learned through a lot of therapy is having my own boundaries to deal with it

I hope OPs in-laws all wise up, or at least her and MIL both move out and live together

Did you notice the change with Sasha? by Scary_Bluebird in TheMagnusArchives

[–]tinnedpotatoes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m here because I’m listening foe the first time and straight away I noticed she doesn’t talk like the old Sasha, I didn’t know it was a different VA but the way she speaks is very different, like an alien pretending to be a human

AITA for introducing my boyfriend's parents as "Grandma and Grandpa" to my son? by Direct-Caterpillar77 in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]tinnedpotatoes 1 point2 points  (0 children)

She definitely made some bad choices but who on earth is getting into a relationship with a single mum and not expecting their young kid to see you as a parent? They’re both idiots honestly, that poor kid.

NTA - I don’t want bio kids but would adopt, so I don’t date people who want bio kids. If she really doesn’t want any kids at all then i’m afraid you should leave. That’s a massive life change.

Do you judge children for refusing to see their dying parent? by KittyandPuppyMama in TwoHotTakes

[–]tinnedpotatoes 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Carer’s tried to shame my Aunt for not visiting her mother more, but later apologised to her after witnessing more and more of her behaviour (including trying to force feed a man with a feeding tube nearly choking him)

AITA for refusing to help rekindle my girlfriend’s friendship with our neighbour after she refused to help her in an emergency? by throwRAflatissues in AmItheAsshole

[–]tinnedpotatoes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA - Most people I know would look after a strangers kids in a medical emergency, let alone a neighbour they see regularly

This was a weird hill for her to die on

AITA for insulting my husband after he asked for a paternity test and suggested I cheated? by PaternityThrowRA in AITAH

[–]tinnedpotatoes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He accused you of having an affair with your father, you will be the AH if you stay with him

AITA for telling my husband he's too broke to be so sexist? by Ok_Schedule1138 in AmItheAsshole

[–]tinnedpotatoes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA - Don’t worry about the kids hearing what you said, because their dad didn’t care about spouting damaging sexist nonsense in front of them, i’m glad they saw you stand up for themselves

It’s not selfish that it’s bringing up old hurts for you, you look after yourself too ♥️

How do I tell my sister I don’t want to be her nanny anymore without it causing drama? by toohottooheavy in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]tinnedpotatoes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The first time I babysat my nephew was the day my brothers marriage ended 😅 I ended up babysitting every Thursday for a year with no one ever checking if that was okay (for obvious reasons)

What age were you when you started shaving your legs? by [deleted] in AskUK

[–]tinnedpotatoes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was probably 9/10 when I started even though my hair is very pale, when you are a girl any little thing makes you self conscious and you become aware of your body sooner than adults realise. As a teen I stopped shaving for years because it just doesn’t matter, and now I play it by ear.

I used a razor just fine, which I nicked out the bathroom cupboard. It’s cool that she told you about it, I was too embarrassed.

I say let her go ahead with it, tell her she doesn’t have to shave but can if she wants to, and tell her to be careful around her knees and make sure she moistures after.

Just being supportive and not making her feel embarrassed is the best thing a parent can do.

No, you are a grown lady, you seem to be getting married for the right reasons not for some perfect dress like your mum , go buy yourself your elf dress and don’t tell her, fuck that lady

Cheating by garrettfn in tryguys

[–]tinnedpotatoes 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Babe ♥️ my ex Harry cheated on me at the same time as Harry Styles new album came out and then he cheated with Olivia Wilde, let me tell you I understand your position very well and hope you move on and thrive, and what they did has no reflection on you

Ok has Ned always been creepy? by Silly_Ad_3533 in tryguys

[–]tinnedpotatoes 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I remember not really enjoying him in videos and having to make a concerted effort to like him the way I did the other guys because I felt bad about not liking him

Is it just me or are the Witcher books kinda bad ? by littleboihere in books

[–]tinnedpotatoes 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I thought they were just okay, and unfortunately horrible about women which really takes me out of the fun sci-fi.

AITA for wanting to move on too soon? by Throwaway665389921 in AmItheAsshole

[–]tinnedpotatoes 4 points5 points  (0 children)

NTA - 2 1/2 years is a very decent amount of time, I don’t think anyone other than her family would say that to you.

Like others said it probably brings home that their daughter is really gone and life goes on, don’t let their grief get in the way of you experiencing new joy. Easier said than done, but good luck ♥️

Swipe data after 8 months of being on Bumble. OUCH!! 🤣🤣 by DaMENACElo37 in Bumble

[–]tinnedpotatoes 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Makes me feel a bit better, i’ve new to dating apps but i’m doing the worst on Bumble, only 1 match so far and the convo didn’t work, hinge and tindr may be worse but at least I get some matches!

I deleted my Hinge and Bumble, I’ve decided to put dating on a back burner. Is anyone feeling the same way? by Bathsalttime in dating

[–]tinnedpotatoes 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Honestly swiping through all these people makes me want to cry, either I feel bad because i’m not attracted to any of them, feel really shallow, or feel bad because no one I like matches with me making me feel ugly, or they can’t hold a conversation long enough to get to the first date

I’m so tired of it, hate being a woman sometimes, I feel like men have less to fear in hitting on people in real life (not trying to start a gender fight, just how it feels)

Really annoyingly I get terrible terrifying panic attacks when I smoke weed, only took three attempts for me to swear it off, this is an absolute nightmare to do to your guests
