Father committed suicide and had I guess been practicing a particular piece "over and over" in the run-up. Presumably the poster's mom thinks he committed suicide over not being good enough at piano.

Sillybones posted:"I had friends over, a guy and three girls. One of the girls, Jane..." It's a straight up requirement in r/relationships itself, and instead of figuring out how to write it into the sentence structure itself, people just write it up and then insert it in. Then they copy it in AITA because they're used to it.

Invisible Clergy posted:The skeleton of this post is pretty common in poly stories. What I guarantee you is happening is that the wife and husband are legally married with concomitant legal benefits and op is twisting in the wind, but is allowed to informally refer to her paramours as her husband and wife. It's also how she ended up not working and doing all the scutwork. Likely that couple was together first and spliced her on as a third. Except that contradicts basically everything we get from the actual post. She doesn't refer to the man as her husband, just the woman as her wife. "Our" children are all older than the start of the dude entering into the relationship.

As they're seemingly both bi, they may have not even bothered with sperm donors and they may have just arranged for one of them to get pregnant. (Also, it looks like the oldest kid is a foster kid.) Hell, as written we can't even strictly tell if any of the kids are the GUY'S kids from a previous relationship, the exact members of the "our" in "our" kids are ambigious.

Sagebrush posted:Giving charity to someone absolutely does not give you the right to try and enforce your views or lifestyle choices on them, or to feel insulted if they reject your help when you try to do so. If the condition of your charity is that you'll only buy vegan food, find people who want vegan food. Don't force it on people you're trying to help and then act like they're being ungrateful. OP isn't forcing anything, the person can just ask someone else, if OP's compromise to still help her out without going against their principles is unacceptable to them.

Invisible Clergy posted:"My horse girl partner is not being a very well-adjusted person. Who could've seen this coming?" Among everything else about this: that isn't actually a valid scrabble move. You can extend an existing word, or go perpendicular while including one of the letters of an existing word, but you can extend an existing word and then go perpendicular to your extension. So even ignoring the whole "slurs are no longer valid words" even if they were valid words, his smug "it's a valid move, heh," is wrong.

Doesn't sound like it though, so she's doing that person a solid by not immediately ratting on her to the company. That's also kind of like one of those "personality evaluation" questions you can't answer humanely when applying for certain min wage retail jobs.

Peaceful Anarchy posted:I don't know, it depends on how reliable the narrator is, and "The only thing I sucked in was the minor tests worth 25% compared to major assignments worth 50% which is what I do well in. On those tests, I consistently scored 60%" does not make a reliable narrator. For starters where's the other 25%? Second, if you score 60% on the stuff that's worth 25% of your grade then the highest you could possibly get is 90% and since the OP's benchmark is "85% and higher" I really doubt she's right that her grade is lower than it should be. OP got an 86, which means the non-test work is 95%. If anything I feel OP probably has a grade that's too high not too low. Invisible Clergy posted:I know ofttimes, the narrators in these are unreliable and will omit important information or frame situations in a fashion to present themselves favorably. That said, I feel like we need to accept that the basic factual information in them is true to have a common frame of reference to discuss our opinions on them. From one of the comments the narrator posted "Parrents told me anything less than a 90 is a failure because I have zero extracurriculars sports band and only some volunteering," so at this point my working theory is honestly yeah the teacher messed up a couple grades, but only such that the actual grade was an 87% or something. Just enough of a mistake though that the redditor thought they could get away with throwing the teacher under the bus rather than get punished by their parents over a mere B. Evil Willow posted:I read it as "I did two assignments worth 25% each and got 60% for both." In which case, that adds up to 30/50. If they scored 100% on the assignment worth 50% of their grade, the best they could have hoped for is 80% total. In which case, getting 86% was definitely a mistake on the teacher's behalf as the total grade should have been lower.

Yeah, I do think it's telling that for all the post itself talks about her not doing things that aren't strictly speaking helping either, (or rather 'mostly' ignoring the kids, which honestly makes me wonder whether the sister believes she's doing what she was asked now) when OP had to sum it up for the title her complaint was that her sister wasn't helping.

therobit posted:I don't buy an actually Native American/ Indian/ Indigenous person telling someone from India not to use the term, although maybe I could see making a joke about it. Whether people prefer to be called Native American, indigenous, Indian, or something else varies a ton from person to person and tribe to tribe. Usually people prefer to use their tribe/nation if you know it. But there are definitely people that prefer Indian to Native American. Supposedly, basically the biggest trend towards what someone prefers is whether they ever lived on a reservation. If they live on or near reservations there's trend toward preferring to be called Indian, and if they don't there's a trend toward preferring to be called Native American.

CitizenKain posted:Minor physical labor doesn't seem bad. Taking the phones is weird as hell though. 5-8 hours of poo poo that even this rear end in a top hat is willing to admit "isn't easy," is not "minor physical labor" for an 11 year old and 13 year old. When he says "it's not anything my dad didn't have me do as a kid" and "I feel like my sister should be thanking me for trying to get them straight as our father once did to us" for an implicit "my sister did all this stuff as a kid too" (which is also explicitly confirmed in the comments, though I don't really blame anyone for not googling to read the comments) what that means is "the sister knows exactly what level of labor i'm having them do now that she knows 'they'll have to work' doesn't mean 'i'll have them do some chores' and there's a reason she's flying back from out of the country early to rescue her kids from me."

This guy is a dipshit but seems to be actually listening to everything people are saying to him in the comments, I think he's mostly just a dipshit because he's 19 and not so much because he's suffering from some fundamental dipshitness. Probably shouldn't be getting married soon enough that any of this will matter because he's a 19 year old dipshit and she's probably a 19 year old dipshit in some other way that isn't apparent on this particular reddit post.

Cowslips Warren posted:Pretty much one of the dumbest, which is hard in a series where everyone was borderline mentally challenged, decisions in Game of Thrones was how Cat Stark hated Jon Snow but totally loved her husband even after the "proof" he had been unfaithful to her was loving Jon Snow. The series definitely has plenty of dumb poo poo in it but this isn't really the situation. Her view on the being unfaithful itself is effectively "It was a political marriage where he wasn't even the guy I was originally arranged to marry, we'd known each other for the space of like a week, he was fighting a war, and this is a patriarchal society where there just really isn't consequence for men being unfaithful, that he was going to be unfaithful is pretty much to be expected." She hadn't continued loving him through the affair having happened, they grew to love each other years afterwards when it was already a done thing. She dislikes Jon Snow not for his existence but because he was raised effectively the same as her own children which she feels makes him disproportionately likely to be a future political threat to her own children. And while it's not explicitly stated there's a bit of an in between the lines element of it being displaced anger at her husband because it's a patriarchal society where nothing good will happen to her out of picking a fight over it with him. I dunno, maybe you still think that's bad characterization but at worst it's still significantly less bad characterization than "still loves a man through him cheating on her, hates the son it produced instead."

As the story is presented, the ex's new boyfriend is themself also A Lego Person. So, they could have stolen the sets because... the personally wanted to have the sets but considered them too expensive to buy, and thought that he could shift the responsibility to his girlfriend's son, whose dad would would maybe throw up his hands about the matter in that case.
