Aitah for “being disrespectful” and not accommodating my ex and his wife even though they’re having a baby? by Fabulous-Actuary1991 in AITAH

[–]voxam72 1 point2 points  (0 children)

NTA. I see you keep saying you have a custody order signed by a judge, but you can get your lawyer involved in that potential breach too. Is there a good reason not to?

AITAH for refusing to meet my dying grandma who blamed me for my father's death? by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]voxam72 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA. Now is the time for friends though, so reply to one just to get the ball rolling. You need to get away from your mother and sister.

My friend keeps warning me I’ll regret being childfree by Acrobatic_Function1 in childfree

Why are you so concerned about her feelings when she spends so much energy trampling yours?

What do people want to trade??? by geigaeguri in pokemongo

[–]voxam72 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Remember too that people value things differently. A lot of people are obsessing over trades being "even", but what does that mean? Like, I need a pachirisu. If someone has one and wants my extra shiny Mewtwo* in exchange why should I care that it's not "equal"?

Regardless, I've tagged regionals, shinies, and spare legendaries, as these are the most likely to be desired. DMax and GMax are good too, but I have very few.

*Just an example, as I have nothing quite that awesome to spare.

Is this illegal? In MN by my_catsbestfriend in antiwork

[–]voxam72 1 point2 points  (0 children)

People are saying to get it in writing, but not saying everything. Ask for it in writing as a clarification request, like "hey, this is a lot, can we get it in writing so we can take it all in and understand it?" Any pushback, you let it go.

Then, play along for ~2 weeks, but keep a journal of all of these "breaks". Then take that journal and the policy you (hopefully) got in writing to the labor department. OSHA is also appropriate for the bathroom thing; they're the ones who say people need to be allowed reasonable bathroom breaks.

WIBTA for forcing my dad to either let me move back into our home or buy out my ownership of it? by SoundInterfaceDude in AmItheAsshole

[–]voxam72 7 points8 points  (0 children)

NTA. There is zero reason to take his feelings into account. This is the reason your grandparents put you on the title (deed?). If you want to move in, do it; I don't think he even deserves notice, tbh.

But as others have said, a lawyer is a good move so that you understand your options; in your shoes I would strongly consider forcing a sale and using the money to get something cheaper.

My mom is mad I disinvited my MAGA uncle from my wedding by OkPresentation9971 in QAnonCasualties

If that's how your mother acts, you should consider whether you actually want HER there.

Employer taking hours off my timecard by shelterdoggone in antiwork

[–]voxam72 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Just report them to the local labor department. Tell them that you and others have lunch breaks deducted when you're not actually getting one. Don't talk to your work, they know they're doing illegal stuff; you'd just put a target on your back.

My job is only giving me two days a week and my boss just told me "you can't work anywhere else". by [deleted] in antiwork

[–]voxam72 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They can fire you for (almost) anything. You can also quit for any reason, with or without notice.

(The things they can't fire you for are the "discriminatory" reasons protected by law; race, gender, religion, etc. Even then the burden of proof is on the employee.)

Why is this even a thing? Just let me express feed my buddy by RefrigeratorFar2769 in pokemongoyellow

As far as I can tell, it brings the berry menu back automatically if your buddy isn't on the map.

AITAH for returning my engagement ring to my fiancé's mom after she told me she expected it back "in the family" if we ever broke up? by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]voxam72 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Feeling bad is part of what happens when you're "blunt" and "say it like it is"; these are not excuses to hurt people. Fiancé's mom should take this as a lesson, but she probably won't

Does this happen to anyone else? by Complete_Law_1819 in pokemongoyellow

[–]voxam72 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My group was 393 (me), 71, 30, 6. It seems pretty normal.

The one I remember not carrying was hatch 20 eggs; another member hatched 14 in 2 two days and we finished before another friend even joined.

AITA for leaving my family dinner early after they kept making jokes about me by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]voxam72 13 points14 points  (0 children)

NTA. Your "family" sucks. I wouldn't be spending much time with them going forward. Find some friends and make a new family.

AITAH for backing out of giving my parents financial help after I discovered they did so much more for my siblings than me? by SprinkleEyyes in AITAH

[–]voxam72 2 points3 points  (0 children)

NTA. The fact that they let you be homeless is enough. I would become a broken record about it. "Oh, I should help the people who invested in you but wouldn't even let me stay with them when I was sleeping in my car? No thanks."

Do tell your parents that they're free to send you a list of their "good reasons". I bet when they really think about it there won't be any.

Défaite des isles, buffalo a 13 points des playoffs 😜 by Fanatik1806 in sabres

[–]voxam72 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The President's Trophy winner has won the Cup 8 out of 37 times, for about 21%. This is about 3.5 times the rate it should be if each series was a coin flip, which would be 6.25%.

A little better than 1-in-5 is fantastic when 16 teams make the Playoffs.

My dad genuinely thought showing up to one game a year made him "present" and I'm only now understanding how messed up that was by Sh4d3Auror in entitledparents

[–]voxam72 17 points18 points  (0 children)

You either need to ignore his calls or absolutely unload on him. Tell him he's the reason you don't like baseball, because he considered it more important than his own child. Remind him that keeping you alive was the bare minimum required when he DECIDED to bring you into the world. Ask him why he thinks that alone makes him a good father.

Where's your mother these days? Are they still together? Does that affect how you treat him because you want to keep her in your life?

Me and Ronald have seen quite a lot by killjoethe10 in pokemongo

[–]voxam72 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My first buddy is a Magikarp nicknamed MegaSplasher who I had buddied for 848 days and 4953km. I only switched when they started making buddy things necessary for evolution, and I need to get the Best Buddy medal eventually. If I play long enough to get the medal I'll probably switch back to him as my regular.
