#AITA ? I mean this in the most supportive way, but we need to talk about yellow. As in very light skinned people should choose basically any other color as their top. Just watched the #MetGala, and... that objectively stunning Elizabeth Debicki and whoever the charming +1 to Kieran Culkin was-yellow is NOT a charming color for very white people.
Sure, any Latina, Black or Indian person can rock it, caucasian people just look sick from that reflection.
It sounds obvious in hindsight but some #philosophy researchers did a study analyzing the hundreds of thousands of posts and millions of comments in the popular subreddit r/AmItheAsshole.
So I did a couple of orders for many little bits and pieces from Temu. Wife passed me a note to tell give me a Temu budget. She has no idea just how much crap I can buy with this 😁
I feel like I shouldn’t have to say this, but here we are.
If you get into a disagreement with someone here or for whatever reason the person you’re messaging with asks you to disengage, just stop. I’ve been around since the dawn of online arguments and I’ve never seen a person realize the error of their ways because someone was trolling and/or being an asshole to them in the replies.
If someone asks you to stop, stop. If they block you, take a cue from Elsa and Let It Go. Don’t find alternate ways to continue engaging. I’m sure it the parting shot feels good, or you think you have the perfect reply to help them see the reality of a situation, but it isn’t so.
Please, just stop and think: AITA in this situation?
In the spirit of talking about mental illness more… One of the "sometimes I act like an asshole" features of my depression is that I have basically zero tolerance for other people's depression symptoms. Whenever I notice this it annoys me a lot because I hope other people would be more empathetic towards my issues, and that's something I strive to do for them as well.
Someone invited me to a thing in June a long time ago. I said yes, but I’ve had to cancel because of work.
They’re mad. I’ve given them two months’ warning, and I’ve tried to explain that unlike someone who is self employed and has no employees (their situation), I have multiple people who rely on me for a living.
I’m trying to be a good friend, but I’m also trying to keep a company afloat and ensure people have jobs.
I’ve had to cancel in the past due to health or family stuff, and because of work. The thing I’ve had to cancel to attend is a one-time event my company must be at.
I feel like shit. They’ve basically said “we’re done”.
I get it. I’m a terrible person. But I don’t have the luxury of taking time off when my company is under constant attack from transphobes and homophobes.
