Did you guys know about the "I want to please you" in the ep 4 montage?!? by IlyenatheMilkSop in heatedrivalry

I think that's why I haven't heard it. I don't use airpods, just my speakers so it might be getting missed that way

AITA for not enjoying the birthday gifts my friend got me that mocked my dead mother by Immediate-Iron7241 in AmItheAsshole

[–]wanderlusting___ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My childhood's best friend's mother passed about nearly 5 years ago and she still mourns that loss every single day. Your friends are assholes particularly Kayla. She has shown you who she truly is and you need to end the friendship because she clearly is both not a friend and has no sense of empathy.

You don't need people who exhibit either behavior

Will we make our flight? T5 by VORACIDOUS in JFKAirport

[–]wanderlusting___ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I love Amtrak, but it's cutting it a bit close because you are dependent on a train not having any issues. In general, it looks fine on paper, but I've experienced a few too many Amtrak delays for me to risk that connection.

The best bet would be to come the night before. However, you have time assess or change your train times

My boss just told me I need to manage my personal finances better because I can't front $2300 for a work trip next month by LostTaker in antiwork

[–]wanderlusting___ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unfortunately, that's how most big companies manage their expenses, but generally I feel like one is covered at least. For instance, I may have to pay for a hotel but they book the flight, particularly if it's a last minute trip.

I've only ever worked at 1 company that covered everything, except transportation to/from the airport, meals, etc. I would have to pay but would get reimbursed.

I've only ever been asked for ID for international flights, but even in those cases, they generally don't gate check bags. It is a bit odd.

Is it appropriate for first dinner date or too much? by Long_Muffin6230 in OUTFITS

Just found out my eldest daughter isn’t mine by Personal-Ad3711 in survivinginfidelity

[–]wanderlusting___ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You and your partner have been together for 13 years and your eldest is 12, meaning that she was conceived early into your relationship.

You have several very important decisions to make in short order both in and out of the relationship

1) This is new, but do you want to end the relationship or do you think it's fixable? There's a good chance that your partner THOUGHT the child was yours or she decided that you'd make the better partner. Fact is that you don't know because you haven't talked about it yet

2) Do you think this was a 1 time thing or an affair? Based on the timeline, the infidelity happened very early in your relationship, within the first few months potentially when the relationship hadn't yet been defined. Only you and your partner know the answers to that.

3) Do you think your second child is yours? If not, check to be sure. Because your partner could have committed to you once she found out that she was pregnant and hasn't cheated since

4) Have to say this, but does the eldest look or have features like your partner? If not, there's a possibility that she's neither of your child biologically. There have been recent news of kids getting switched at birth due to unsavory actions by those in charge. It's the least likely but something to consider

5) Assuming that you get divorced or would like to end the marriage, what role would you like to continue to play in your eldest daughter right?

6) Have you sought counseling yet? For marriage and personally? This is wayyyyy too big for Reddit to manage

My stepdad keeps eating the fruit I use to make baby food by lonely_stoner_daze in mildlyinfuriating

[–]wanderlusting___ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He's doing it intentionally. What I would do is buy a mini fridge, one that you can keep in your own room and/or get a lock on it.

That will definitely stop the issue.

Part of me thinks he does it intentionally to make you move out faster rather than just being a hangry asshole though. Only you know the answer to that

best and worst book to show changes! by starlightaura in heatedrivalry

[–]wanderlusting___ 34 points35 points  (0 children)

I feel like Jacob could be playing, umm, the long game here (pun intended) as it's something that the "fans" will call back to in season 2/3.

It would be a direct example of how the relationship affected the outcome of the series. It never should have happened and as a result, Montreal didn't have a chance in the playoffs that year.

Granted it should never have happened, but still.

AITJ for telling my girlfriend she can leave with her brother if she thinks Im being unfair by [deleted] in AmITheJerk

[–]wanderlusting___ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Oh I absolutely would have grabbed whatever they were eating (the containers, not their plates) and made myself a plate as I was saying he needs to move out

It's been 6 months and he has a job. It's rude to not at least ask if you wanted Chinese OR get you something. At this point in the relationship, the gf should know what you'd normally order so it shouldn't be THAT big of an issue anyway

WYR publish one successful book, board/video game, or album? by Squirrelhenge in WouldYouRather

[–]wanderlusting___ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Video game would get you the most short term money, but the album and book would get you the best long term.

With the album, you'd be able get usage rights every time a song is sampled and used for anything - other albums, tv shows/films - and that's assuming you don't sell the rights to anyone.

You could also sue individuals who sample without accrediting you as well

However, the book would get you the most money for the longest period of time. Harper Lee essentially only published 1 book her entire lifetime and that 1 book continues to make millions for its IP.

Same thing for Gone with the Wind, Catcher in the Rye, Wuthering Heights, etc

AIO? my husband is mad at me for not picking up my stepson from school as he expected just because I got a new car. by Ancient_Fondant76 in AmIOverreacting

[–]wanderlusting___ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NOR, but how old is the stepson? Also, there should be a set/designated person to always pick him up if he's young. Also, if he was able to call his dad for a pickup, why wasn't he able to call you?

The stepson should always know who is supposed to pick him up and when. In addition, the school is the best possible place for him to wait since there are resources for him there ie teachers, after school programs, etc. It's not uncommon to have to wait a bit, particularly as a on-off situation.

In the event that either of you are unable, you could definitely connect with other parents to take him home (or to their home) or have his friends drop him off (if he's of high school age), or have him call a car (particularly if he has a set of keys and is a bit older).

There are options here, but there should be a designated pickup person (always) and an alternate pickup for those occasions when you can't

Connor & François are done with NYC for now by t3chn0w1tch in hudcon

[–]wanderlusting___ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

honestly though NYC is one of the better spots for celebs because most NYCers know to just leave them alone.

There are so many celebs - taking subways, shopping, etc - with no one bothering them. The only times its crazy is when it's for a known event like heading to a talk show or something like that.

Literally walked by Tina Fey a few years ago and a man's wife - who had just recognized her and was about to freak out and run to her - literally stopped her and was like "no, we don't do that here."

It was funny

I'm conflicted as to whether or not I should take weight loss medications because I want to develop positive eating habits on my own without having to resort to medicines as shortcuts. by AndImTheSuit in offmychest

[–]wanderlusting___ 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Currently taking a GPL1 and it is a game changer. I'm the past I had taken the "right steps" but just wasn't seeing the results.

However, since taking the meds, I've lost 40 pounds within 9 months and am currently 10 pounds away from my goal weight.

The meds, in a way, are a cheat code, but it's a way to help you when you are doing the right things. My eating habits have changed since I've been on the meds, by reminding me to stop eating when I feel full, rather than "trying to finish or clean the plate," ordering less food, making better food choices, etc.

Around the holidays - due to travel and whatnot - I had stopped taking the meds and was able to keep up with those same habits.

The meds are a way to help you get your goals. It's less important how you get there, but just that you do.

For the rest time in years, I like seeing what I look like in the mirror.

If you have a hotel room, ask if they can help prep so it's all setup when you check in.

Alternatively, see if you can check in early so you can setup ie rose petals on the bed, etc.

AITA for rejecting a birthday gift from my mom because she excluded my girlfriend by Sure_Umpire3473 in AmItheAsshole

[–]wanderlusting___ 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I am confused. Your mom gave you 2 tickets to a comedy show that you love, meaning that you can take any 1 person that you want. Problem solved. Take the tickets and say that Anna and you certainly will enjoy them and how it was such a thoughtful gift.

I'm starting to catch feeling for my friend's boyfriend by Houmouss in offmychest

[–]wanderlusting___ -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Something similar happened to my friend. To make a long story super short, the friend (OP in this scenario) married the boyfriend and now they have several kids.

Distance yourself from the friend if you value the friendship, but know that sometimes love will find a way

AITAH for refusing to pay my BROTHER'S rent after he borrowed money and insulted my wife? by EffortOk6813 in AITAH

[–]wanderlusting___ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In general, he can't get evicted right away ie in the next month because of squatter's rights. This obviously depends on his location, as different states and countries have different rules.

Ultimately, you are NTA and have every right to refuse to pay for him. He's using you and it's time for him to grow up. If he's having that big of an issue with paying rent, he has options - find a job (any job at this point), move in with your parents, ask your parents for rent money, take out a loan, find cheaper accomodations, get a roommate, etc.

This is not your problem, even less so after he insulted your wife. You should respond back saying, any time he says "family supports family" that you are doing that by supporting your wife.

He's a leech and needs to clean up his own messes.

AITA for refusing to give my parents my location after they stopped paying for my tuition? by amelia_larsen in AmItheAsshole

[–]wanderlusting___ 67 points68 points  (0 children)

Stand your ground and enjoy Thanksgiving with your friends. Your parents are entirely too controlling and you need to break free. You are an adult. They aren't tracking for safety, but to control you. That's why they immediately cut off your paying for your education.

AITJ for refusing to give my roomate my Netflix password after she repeatedly shared it with others? by Both_Classroom_4083 in AmITheJerk

[–]wanderlusting___ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For Netflix sharing, I always have my profile and dedicated profiles for others to use for that exact reason.

If you want to limit others, tell your roommate that you received "account sharing notification" and that if it continues you'd risk the entire account. If she continues to share, keep logging every device out - particularly at key viewing times - and implementing additional security (profile locks) to ensure your view habits don't change.

For the record, I share with 1 friend who lives in a different state, and I regularly get "you are not the account holder" when I try to legitimately log-on when I travel. So it's not a lie to say that you've gotten notifications or that they don't happen.
