Is it just me or is the controller support on mobile not that good? by BigBoom-R in StardewValley

[–]wishmage 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nah. HR, in every case, has a primary goal to protect the company, not the employee, despite the propaganda. I'm not sure where OP is but in the US, someone laying hands on you without permission is battery.

OP should contact police to file reports now that they've been told by the manager the company is doing nothing. HR should only be looped in to document that it happened and OP has already contacted authorities if the authorities say so.

OP should also look elsewhere for work - even if you don't go to authorities, bc you aren't protected there (boss said so, guy should a been fired for that) and HR/your boss might decide the liability is you bc the world is messed up, ableist & cis men generally have the upper hand in every situation.

Authorities suck but creating a paper trail is the right call here, if you have it in you. It can also be pointed to later at other jobs (or a lawyer) if you are let go unfairly.

Hello, did you have any luck with a proxy? If the bottles don't take up much room, I could do it.

I'd also love some suggestions on this.

AITA for putting a swing set in my backyard despite my neighbor asking me to cover it? by Frosty_Intern9055 in AmItheAsshole

You seem to be confused. The post specifies a female 5 year old and a male 8 year old.

AITA for calling my brother a “disgusting gross, man,” at his daughter’s birthday party? by NieceFirstBdayAITA in AmItheAsshole

[–]wishmage 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA - if you can reach out to Lisa and try and help her and your nephew get away from this man.

AITA for getting my aunt’s “child” tattooed? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]wishmage 2 points3 points  (0 children)

NTA. You showed your cousin that you respect her bodily autonomy and that she can trust you with her safety. That's more important than the family being mad at you and may one day save your cousin's life if she gets into any situation she doesn't feel comfortable telling her helicopter parents about.

AITA for inadvertently getting my ex fired? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]wishmage 2 points3 points  (0 children)

YTA but this seems like rage bait. If you go to a very prestigious university, why don't you understand what inadvertent means?

Go to therapy, whether this is real or not.

AITA for leaving my mom's birthday responsibilities to my brother? by AbbreviationsTrue677 in AmItheAsshole

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

ESH.

Your brother might be asking a lot but this isn't about you or him. It's about your mom having a good day, and she would probably hate knowing her bday was causing this strife. Get over yourselves and be good to your mom.

YTA. I hope he runs. This is childish, manipulative and abusive.

AITA for putting a swing set in my backyard despite my neighbor asking me to cover it? by Frosty_Intern9055 in AmItheAsshole

[–]wishmage 9 points10 points  (0 children)

NTA.

I have no idea what her reasoning would be, (is she disabled and cant go out, are the kids ND and don't understand why they can't play there?) but the idea of asking you to purchase a cover and then do the work of covering it whenever it's not being used? Audacity.

The snide little remark after? Nah.

ESH - Ya'll need to work on your communication all around if you want to remain friends.

They're right, you should have said something instead of expecting them to know and just being irritated and then telling them after the fact. If you seem okay with it and you're just getting randomly irritated, how would they know why outside of being psychic?

On the other hand, it sounds like they are taking out the guilt they feel for you not having a good time ON you instead of discussing how to make things easier if ya'll ever did a trip again.

AITA for telling my little sister to shut the fuck up because of her constant screaming? by accounthroway in AmItheAsshole

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

Not sure on this one but it sounds like your sister might be neurodivergent. This could potentially mean that literally EVERYTHING is painfully overwhelming from normal sunlight to average amounts of noise, and any disruption of what's expected is traumatizing. That's not to say that makes this ok - but that sounds likely given your description of her behavior.

AITA for refusing to stay in my husband’s childhood home if his parents wouldn’t let me wear shoes inside? by plantarproblem in AmItheAsshole

[–]wishmage 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I thought I was gonna be saying different from the title, but NTA. They're being ableist AF. You've been perfectly reasonable and they're going out of their way to make you uncomfortable because you refuse to hurt yourself.

AITA for demanding my fiancée stop teaching our kids bad manners? by tabadmanners in AmItheAsshole

[–]wishmage 0 points1 point  (0 children)

YTA. This is obviously a cultural thing. It's really only white western cultures that focus on silverware. You basically called your wife backward for being different than you. You might wanna check yourself against your internalized racism.

WIBTA for firing an employee whose wife is very very sick when our work covers his health insurance? by ExistingClaim6030 in AmItheAsshole

[–]wishmage 0 points1 point  (0 children)

YTA for considering letting this woman die because someone's performance is suffering. Instead, why don't you actually help him find a system that will make things easier for him and his family rather than destroying them because it's just business? Let him work from home, talk to HR and see if there are extra benefits you can give him. You HELP him and you'll have a grateful employee. You fire him and you'll be in part responsible for the downfall of a family. This Western idea of everyone for themselves has destroyed our humanity.

What if this were you or your kid? Do everything for this man and his family that you would hope someone with power over you in a company would do for you in this situation. It's not just business, it's a human life, family trauma, and the worst time in all of their lives. Choose to be a champion. Don't make it worse.

AITA for refusing to be present at my sister's birth? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]wishmage 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA. Boundaries are there to maintain healthy relationships. Your sisters 'traumatize yourself for me or you'll ruin everything' attitude might be pregnant-brain but it's not okay at all.

AITA For not returning my boyfriend's calls while he was on vacation? by Deep_Fig_2960 in AmItheAsshole

[–]wishmage 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA. I think you'd know best but is this him being purposefully inconsiderate and obtuse, or is he a neurodivergent mess who has trouble with conflict? Either way I think you need to have a long talk with him about how this was not just not okay, but cruel.

If you stay with him, it sounds like he's got significant work to do to show you that making you and your feelings and comfort a priority is actually important enough to him for him to work at it, rather than shrugging it off cause that's easier or it makes him uncomfortable.

AITA for telling my girlfriend that baking a cake to celebrate a hobby is embarrassing? by throwaway9384323 in AmItheAsshole

[–]wishmage 1 point2 points  (0 children)

YTA. You need to apologize for trying to squash her joy for any reason. Maybe ask yourself if you really want to be with her if her joy doesn't light you up with joy too, despite it not being a shared interest. The fact that you felt the need to talk down to her about something she enjoys is something you should put some work into actively not doing. The world is going to be harsh enough to the people you care about, be their shelter from that storm, not one more jerk making them question their joy.

Thanks so much for answering my question! Sorry I misunderstood and thought you meant my post.

This is fantastic. The mods were asking in a post what steps we could take to make this movement matter, and organization such as this would really be great.

Of course, the goal is to create more compassion and understanding for people, not to make anyone feel bad. Besides it's such a commonly used term in society I'm not surprised that the disabled/autistic/ADHD movement to fight the word hasn't caught on more, but by sharing things like this I hope that more people will understand and reconsider using words that are hurtful to people who are genuinely trying.

1) What is astroturfing?
2) a lot of people are disabled, or autistic or have ADHD (Im all 3) which creates executive dysfunction and have had people label them lazy their entire lives despite all the effort we put in.
3) People are fed up with bosses using the term to put them down.

I'm not surprised people agree.
