Who What Now posted:What's the actual difference, though? Because I literally can't think of any except the type of sauce you you put on them If I'm eating Italian food I'm having pasta, if I'm having Asian food I'm having noodles, it's pretty simple. Just like how if I'm eating Khinkali I'm having Georgian food, if I'm eating momos I'm having Himalayan food.

WIBTA if I tell my boyfriend I don't want to go out to eat with him anymore?quote:Basically every time we go out, no matter where we go, he always orders something like chicken nuggets, PBJ, mac and cheese, etc. Our first few dates were movies, ice skating, coffee- things that didn't involve much food so I didn't realize it was a issue right off the bat. Now we've been "official" for a couple months and I'm starting to get annoyed. It doesn't matter if we go to a nice steakhouse, Applebees, traditional Chinese, Thai- he seems to always just pick the most "childish" (for lack of a better word) thing on the menu and a Coke, and that's all he eats. If I order an appetizer he'll share it with me, and he doesn't mind trying a bite or two of my food, but even if he enjoys it he'll still stick to his chicken nuggets instead of ordering something new. One time, we went to a fancier seafood place that just straight up didn't offer a more "kiddy" menu, and he ordered a Coke and just sat there waiting for me to finish.

StrangersInTheNight posted:it's not a democracy or a society it's a chat forum, it's less about trying to change someone's behavior into the 'proper' behavior and more about just getting them to knock it off when they're being obnoxious so everyone else can keep posting. so putting someone in timeout for a while until they calm down is the quickest easiest way, and no follow-up is going to happen bc no one wants to take care of and dote over internet babies. Gotcha. Still, even here when someone catches a sixer for a "settle down, Beavis" moment, there's at least a reason given for the poster to reflect on why what they posted is bad. And I still can't fathom why DUI wife's post got tanked, it was well-written and that woman was legit seeking help, imo.

WIBTA for choosing my fiance over my teenaged and orphaned sister? I am living with my fiancee. We've been dating for 3 years, living together for 2, engaged for 1, and we were planning to get married this November. My dad and stepmum passed away last November in a car accident. No instructions for what to do with my sister, and as I am her only living family member I was asked by the council to take her in. I talked to my fiance about it and we agreed. My fiance has been amazing, doing all he can to help. He packed up the house when my sister and I couldn't face it and has been working extra hours so I can take time off work to be with her. However, my sister being here has all the challenges you'd expect of living with a recently orphaned 14 year old girl. She's meant to be in school. The school were understanding and told her to take whatever time she needed but that was early December and she's yet to go back. If it weren't for me doing the work that school have sent home for her so she doesn't fall behind she would be expelled by now. She's in our second bedroom, it's insanely messy, she refuses to help out at all and spends the whole day on my fiance's old xbox and refuses to do anything else. I'm seriously concerned about her and I broached the subject of therapy with her at dinner a last night. When I suggested it she snapped at me, called me a racial slur (I'm half latina through my mum), and told me to mind my business. My fiance, who has been careful around her before this, said something like "OP is your sister and she is trying to help you. You have to work with us here and do something, whether that's going to a therapist or going back to school, or anything that isn't shutting yourself away all day and only joining us to disrespect your sister." She went to her room after that. Today my sister informed me that she cannot live with my fiance. She intends to push back against the whole fostering process for as long as my fiance is here. I asked her why she was doing this and she said that the way he spoke to her last night was bullying, so it's him or her. Obviously I don't want the man I'm planning on marrying to move out for at least 4 years but she's my sister, she's a teenager, she's recently orphaned, and she's clearly lashing out because this really isn't like her and she had no problem with him before he called her out last night. The council is rushing me through the process to be a legally qualified foster parent to my sister and in a couple months they'll ask me to make it official, so I have a couple months to figure out what I'm doing. So much is going on right now and I just need a simple and objective opinion because I don't know which way is up any more. This won't be the deciding factor obviously but I need an opinion that isn't my sister or fiance. WIBTA if I chose my fiance over my sister, and in doing so left her in the hands of the local council/foster care system? Clarification: she's my half sister. Same dad, her mum was white and mine was latina, hence the racial slur.

Pasta is defined by what its made of and noodles are defined by being noodle shaped (lasagna is too wide to be called a noodle imo). Spaghetti is both, noodles made of pasta. Gnocchi is pasta but not a noodle. Egg noodles are noodles but not pasta.

AITA for ruining my friends wedding with metal? My wife (30F) and I (32M) were invited to my friend (31M)’s wedding. He’s a fairly close friend. We have seen each other about 2-3 times a year since we were 10. He got married to his longtime girlfriend who we have met a handful of times. He is now a lawyer his wife in med school and their parents are all dentists and pharmacists and doctors etc. To call this wedding extravagant is like calling the Mona Lisa a nice drawing. We added up the things we knew the cost of and got to 100,000USD and there were lots of things we didn’t know the cost of. If you told me they spent half a million I would believe you. There were approx. 400 people at the event. The wedding was very nice. Big church big dress teams of photographers and videographers. Dinner was crazy huge and very fancy. They had hired a band as well as two dj’s. In front of this large sound setup were 5 iPads where you could request music. My wife and I go to the machines and start browsing. Well I found the song Bloodletting by Burn the Priest (if you don’t know it go check it out it will provide some context) so I click on it and it sends it off. I figured if it was in there maybe there were some other metal fans there or at the very least that the DJ sees the requests and makes decisions. Honestly I didn’t think much past “oh cool man” and smashed the screen (it was open bar obviously). About half an hour later the song comes on. Those of you who know the song or went to check it out know how it’s extremely intense right from the start. My wife and I are like “gently caress ya!” and run to the dance floor. After a few minutes of head banging and body checking my wife I look up to see we’re the only ones on the dance floor and the bride is yelling at the DJ. It didn’t take long for everyone to figure out what just happened so her anger turns to us. Guys she loving lost it. We ruined her wedding, we’re terrible people, something about satan at a godly event. I wish I could remember more of what she said cause it was amazing. She storms off brides maids in tow. I find my friend (the groom) to try and smooth things over. He’s not mad at all he thought is was hilarious and was about to grab his groomsmen and join us but his wife stopped him. I apologized for causing what was probably their first fight as a married couple and ask if he can use his lawyer skills to help me get back on his wife’s good side. He says he’s not that good a lawyer lol. We make a few more jokes and he leaves to go check on his wife. We head home soon after since we seem to be getting a lot of odd looks. The day after the wedding I start feeling bad about it. With the alcohol cloud now gone I feel like maybe I was TA for picking such an intense song at an event that probably wasn’t appropriate for it. But on the other hand if you’re going to allow guests to pick songs there’s a good chance someone will pick something you don’t like. This has been bugging me for days so reddit AITA?

Pretty much, spin sessions at a real gym work the same way. Some people exercise better with someone yelling encouragement at them and changing up the intensity every few minutes, or at least believe they do enough that it's popular.

A Peloton costs over $2200, plus a $39 annual membership. This dude dropped the cost of a used motorcycle on a present that he was specifically told not to buy, on the hopes that just seeing it would somehow change her mind completely.

I love how practical he is about this: Girlfriend wants me to gain 15kgs quote:So my gf [f30] and I [m36] have been seeing each other for around 6 months but have known each other a lot longer, like 5 years. The other month I was walking around her house in just underwear and she says to me out of the blue “I think you should put on some weight” I was kind of shocked so I just paused for a second and said “ok”. She seemed to take that as a yes from me and walked off. I was slightly confused because of the way she mentioned it, but intrigued also. Later I said “so, how much weight do you think I should put on?” And her reply was “at least 15kg”. Again I was kind of shocked to hear this but she said it was because she thought I’d look great with a bit of extra “me”. She said cuddles would be better and of course that it was up to me if I wanted to. I confirmed that she wasn’t talking about lean, hard muscle mass either. Although she isn’t against some extra muscle mass I currently don’t have the schedule for it and she knows this, she’s fine with the extra weight being fat.

WIBTA for buying a cane so I can sit on public transportation? Title sounds like I'm definitely the rear end in a top hat, but I'm hoping I'm not. To be clear, I can't stand on public transport because I have a chronic pain/fatigue illness. Standing or walking for more than 10 minutes is impossible for me without pain, and this timeframe is shorter on public transit since the movement and required balance compound this issue. I commute via train and I always prebook a seat for these reasons. 60ish percent of the time, someone is sitting in my seat when I get on. Usually it's fine when I ask them to move, but sometimes people make a fuss and it's stressful because I don't feel like I should have to tell the whole train my medical information just because my illness is invisible. Today there was an elderly man sitting in my seat. I asked him if he had somewhere else to sit, but he wasn't hearing/understanding me. The young woman beside him gave up her prebooked seat so that he wouldn't have to move, and I accepted, but she was visibly pissed off. So my question is - WIBTA if I bought a cane for situations like these? I could forsee also using it in some situations where I have to walk a lot, but honestly I don't feel like I need it. I would be using it as a visual indicator that I need to sit. Judge me, Reddit.
