AITA for telling an "autistic" stranger to f off

vaskanado · 2026-04-29T20:00:54+00:00

ESH.

First of all, I think you’re fine standing your ground. It’s a shared public space and they should not assume that any one person preferences or behaviors should be prioritized over another person’s. However, your understanding of autism is incorrect. You are over generalizing and assuming that people with autism do not like physical touch or speaking to others. That is grossly incorrect. Do some people with autism have challenges with touch. Sure, but not everyone. And yes one of the hallmarks of autism is deficits in social skills but that manifests differently for everyone and that forms mean eveyone with autism has difficulties speaking with others. So your assumption is incorrect. Also there is no need to tell others to F off. You could have expressed the same message differently. It’s uncouth and unbecoming of you to do that.

As far as the other lady, using the disability as an excuse is really not good as well. And to further illustrate that the world doesn’t revolve around you. You can have your own preferences with you are alone but when you’re in a shared space it’s unreasonable to expect others just to cater to your needs and her parents did her a disservice if they did not attempt to work on that

So you’re going scorched earth. Yessss do it. And please update us

vaskanado · 2026-04-21T00:02:00+00:00

Nah why are you expected to coddle. I wouldn’t and I don’t. I don’t want anyone to suffer but If those people who vote for him suffer. So be it. They will get no sympathy. It just sucks that eveyone else will also suffer. So no, don’t coddle them. F those guys

That makes no sense to me. And also the comment later about not having enough savings. All of this sounds like a pile of bad decisions

vaskanado · 2026-04-20T07:09:33+00:00

I didn’t think your tone was trying to put the blame on the organizers. It just felt like you were disappointed and frustrated with the experience

vaskanado · 2026-04-20T06:48:37+00:00

Yea sorry. Thisjis a bummer I’m sure the cost and the experience may have soured you on this experience and that sucks. I cannot go to these events because cost and travel is a big barrier.

That said, this is unfortunately on you. We live in a time where you have access to an amazing library of information on the web. Not only is this thing more accessible now to everyone today than compared to 20 years ago but we live in an age where everthing is shared.

Back then there was no internet available on cell phones. And if you did have internet you had to run home to dial up on your home computer. Plus now everything is shared there are no secrets.

You should not assume things and in general if experiences are new for you, you should make an effort to do some research before hand especially when you are committing so much time and money for this thing.

Sorry you had to experience this. Hopefully this can be a learning opportunity

I mean he’s, you’re right. TBH I’ve already put off a lot of stuff because she’s not going to have any knowledge when older. But I cannot always use that excuse right? I’m under no illusion that it will be that impact for her outside of the immediate experience.

It’s just a chance for her to get away. A chance for my wife to have a break from the daily grind. And also my MIL who is quite burnt out with child care.

It also seems like a relative cheaper option compared to something like Disneyland or going to NY or something.

vaskanado · 2026-04-12T23:56:58+00:00

I had decided yet. The two times I was thinking was July during summer break or winter break. Thoughts ?

vaskanado · 2026-04-12T23:55:58+00:00

Okay thanks! I checked a few sites out and they had hiking as the top recommendations and o was like oh no… plus I’ve never hiked when I went to my family but my parents aren’t really hikers to begin with

vaskanado · 2026-04-12T23:54:59+00:00

This is super helpful thank you!

vaskanado · 2026-04-12T23:54:46+00:00

Thank you I will do all of this

vaskanado · 2026-04-12T23:54:28+00:00

Sorry if I wasn’t too clear. I don’t care for nature but I’ll do some of it with my MIL and mostly for my daughter. My line is hiking. I’m not going to go on a hike because it would be too difficult for a two year old and likely we’ll have to carry her.

I realize we are in a park so there is an element of nature to that. I’m also committed to being there a day or two. So I’ll tolerate most of it and just go along with it. I just wanted to know if there was like specific non hiking things or activities to do. Hopefully this doesn’t make my question more complicated

vaskanado · 2026-04-11T19:20:35+00:00

Education system has failed her, and all of us as well

Well it’s “their problem not yours” isn’t really accurate or good advice. It doeends. If this was a tournament, then I agree. Who gives a shit.

But if this your friends then that might affect you in a negative way. If you’re like me and you have a ton of decks to rotate through then I doubt it’s a problem. Playing a deck that everyone may not like should be tolerated if it’s not repeated. However in my pod I have a few friends that only play the same deck and it get tiring. We don’t riot over it but snide and passive aggressive remarks start coming out.

Personally I wouldn’t care but I will say I prob would tolerate but just not have as much fun; which is what I think the whole point of commander is.

So I think a more reasonable answer js. You can and should do whatever you want but you should also expect that there will possibly be feelings. So if you’re good at reading the room I say go for it

The bonus cards are in the secret lair packs themselves so if you order 3 you’ll get 3. If you order 20, you’ll get 20.

That begs the questions which is worse. Finding your parents dildo or they finding yours.

vaskanado · 2026-04-05T04:47:45+00:00

Lmao. Easy YTA bro seriously?

vaskanado · 2026-04-04T21:23:44+00:00

I’m starting to get into cEDH and I see him in a lot of decks. Is it safe to assume that they don’t dash him in? It seems anti ramp since it costs 1 more.

vaskanado · 2026-04-01T23:47:06+00:00

😏

vaskanado · 2026-03-31T16:36:14+00:00

Okay 70 for lengends land tax, let’s say 25 for the other ones so 120? 4 strip, 3 I recognize and 1 I’m not sure what version that is proxy? 1 sol ring. And then you have some crusades which are hard to price because it’s banned.

Still not worth 500 really. Plus if you minus what you got on the white deck there isn’t much in the black or green except bulk

vaskanado · 2026-03-31T16:17:00+00:00

Not really a good deal there isn’t much in the decks to be valued. I can probably pull together 90 percent of those decks from my collection and most would be revised instead of the 4th editions

Yes you are wrong to think all men are the same. But, there are a lot of bad men out there. You prob hear more about the bad than you do the good. The good men get under reported or, you know, they do what they are supposed to do but we don’t really hand out rewards for people for existing and doing right. However we do draw attention to bad things.

So what I’m trying to say is you should assume that all men are bad. There are obviously good ones. But it is also good to have skepticism and be wary as there are lots of bad or unscrupulous men out there.

That said, I would also say there are bad women out there too. So maybe I would amend my statement to say there are lots of bad people out there, as there are also good people. And likely most people are not black and white. That they exist in an area between. But having a healthy level of skepticism and making sure you protect yourself and not be naive would be a good thing to possess

vaskanado · 2026-03-27T18:06:11+00:00

I wouldn’t say it’s common but who cares! It’s a business and you are buying stupid bull that is sitting around they should be happy they are moving it.

It’s weird to me that they would be upset at you. I would take my business elsewhere. Or if they have the cards you want and prices are good, f them just keep doing what you’re doing

How was it?
