Guarantee that if anybody asks what his job is, he was a " coder or engineer " because those are the only two jobs that Reddit thinks pay a lot even though starting salaries for those jobs are not $57456367577/year like bezos promised

Messianic Judaism is Christians cosplaying as Jews; there’s nothing actually “Jewish” about them except that they are both Abrahamic religions. No Jewish sects consider them anything but Christians.

In no way shape or form did the $900k guy say that he saved up that money by "being frugal," or even that he earned all of the money himself. He just stated that he lives frugally & doesn't spend his money because he plans to retire early. Also despite them being on the whole a terrible investment/total scam even I know a few people who made 5-6 figures on Bitcoins through no effort at all.

It’s an old joke that the only thing that two Jews will ever agree on is that Messianic Judaism is bad. and it’s true, even Reform Judaism, which is the most ecumenical, permissive and secular among mainstream denominations, is still opposed to Messianic organizations.

AITA for bailing on my friends wedding because I can't bring my girlfriend? A close friend of mine is getting married, and I got my invitation to attend. I didn't get an invitation for my girlfriend, but I just figured she would be included as my guest. When I rang my friend to RSVP for the wedding, he said that my girlfriend couldn't come if she wasn't given an invite. I asked why she wasn't given an invite and he said it was because we hadn't been together long enough for her to be considered an automatic invite. For context, we have been together for almost 2 months now. It pisses me off because all of my friends will have their partners there. I told him that if my girlfriend isn't good enough for an invite, then neither was I, and said I wouldn't be coming. My friend got quite upset at me for this and told me I was being silly. He said they could try and squeeze her in if it meant so much to me, but I told him to shove it. I don't want her to be thought of as just an afterthought or an inconvenience. A bunch of my friends are upset with me now. They are upset that I won't be there (we don't get to see each other too often anymore) and that I was potentially burning bridges over something so insignificant. My girlfriend said she is ok with not being able to go, but for me, it's the principal of the matter. Am I the rear end in a top hat for standing firm on this? EDIT: To clarify, for those suggesting otherwise, the couple HAVE met her twice before, and they got on well. Particularly his fiance. Also, for those saying +1s are only for couples together more than a year, I know for a fact that 2 of my friends who have only been in relationships for around 4-5 months, BOTH got automatic invites for their significant others. Neither of them live together. My relationship apparently falls under some bullshit cutoff timeframe. EDIT 2: I get it, I'm an rear end in a top hat. If only the invites came out a month later, because then we would count as a 'real relationship' apparently and she would probably get an invite.

AITA For causing a father/veteran to miss his daughters dance recital? So some quick backstory and sorry for any mistakes, I’m on mobile. I work as an usher at an auditorium. It’s a pretty laid back job and we’re often just tasked with making sure the patrons are following the rules. There are the rules that we set, like no food and drinks and the rules that the clients set, like seating. Today we were hosting a full day of adjudicated dance recitals, and the client hosting the event asked that the first two row closest to the stage be blocked off so no one could sit there. The dancers sometimes preformed off the front of the stage and if we didn’t have it blocked off, parents would of course be clamoring around right at the edge of the stage and it had the possibility of disturbing the dancers. We also had to block off some middle rows so the adjudicator could have their privacy and we ran out of the rope barriers that we normally use. This means we had to improvise and we used some long strips of tape to block off the rows. We also put of signs asking people to not sit in the first two rows. Enter mom, dad, brother, and sister. So I’m doing my thing, and keeping my eye out into the audience and I notice the two little kids wandering. Now it wasn’t super full and they were just wandering up and down the row they were sitting in so I didn’t really care. Soon after though, the little boy (maybe 5 or 6) left his parents, went under the tape and sat right in front of the stage. Now I started to pay a little more attention now and saw the boy start to move around and bounce up and down a little. So I quietly go up to the father (who I now see is wearing a military uniform) and politely ask him if it’s possible to move his son out of the front row. I explain that our client requested that they be empty. He seems annoyed but begrudgingly goes and tries to bring his son back to where they were sitting. Well the dad barely said anything to the little guy before he throws a huge tantrum. The dad then scooped him up and took him outside. Well as I found out from overhearing their later conversation, not ten seconds after the dad left the chamber to deal with his son, their daughter who they were there to see dance, comes onstage with her group. And then finished the dance just before the father returned. His wife picked up the other daughter and they both mumbled angrily under their breath about how he missed his daughter dancing because of the tantrum and all because the staff that asked him to move his son. As he walked past me to the exit, he gave me a look that was so cold, it lowered the temperature in the auditorium. So reddit... am I the rear end in a top hat for causing the chain of events that meant this dad missed his daughters dance recital? this is in Canada

Smirking_Serpent posted:AITA for bailing on my friends wedding because I can't bring my girlfriend? I think if a friend is close enough for you to give a poo poo about them coming to your wedding they're probably close enough to get a blanket +1 (unless it's a really small wedding or something, but that doesn't sound like the case here.) If you can't trust them to use appropriate discretion on who to bring then maybe you should reconsider your friendship

Do they resent paying for someone who is essentially a stranger? Why make a weird arbitrary cutoff for relationship timelines? God, how loving stupid. Just don't go, man. Those people are assholes. Americans especially take weddings way too loving seriously. People go apeshit over the most minute banal garbage. Motronic posted:In this case it turns out they were right to not give the +1.

Nah. It's super weird to put arbitrary loving times on relationships. "Sorry dude," says Relationship Cop, "you have a two-month relationship in a 4-month wedding cutoff. Can't bring her." I'd understand not wanting him to bring a stranger, but as it is they basically forced him to make his new girlfriend feel like poo poo for no reason. sephiRoth IRA fucked around with this message at 22:07 on Apr 11, 2019 |

Okay so I don't quote think the guy in the wedding scenario is wrong-- I thought a blanket +1 was the norm for friends-- but LOL at "we've been together two whole months!" My dude that's the blink of an eye and I can see with your level of immaturity maybe that's why they don't trust your +1 selecting skills. There's a lot that's left unsaid, like does this dude date a ton of people for really short times, did the other couple that's been together for five months know each other a while first, etc. God I can't wait for my backyard bonfire and taco truck wedding.

I guess for me I didn't have any friends come to my wedding that I didn't trust to not abuse their +1 privileges. I mean, if I had a good friend (that didn't jump into lovely relationships with regularity like Scathach just noted), I don't think I'd care if their +1 was two months or six. I might raise an eyebrow at "I just met this great girl/guy...." but otherwise who cares? It just seems like such a silly issue. This is all academic, of course, because it seems like the OP in question actually is genuinely an immature rear end, but in a vacuum, I think balking at 2mo. is silly.
