Now dad's throwing an idiot pissbaby tantrum because the idea he never would have even attempted to make profitable was made profitable by someone with the stones to loving do it. He only tried to involve his dad after his dad got upset with him for stealing his idea and profiting off it. If he had started this business venture with that then I'm sure the dad would have had much less of an issue, and if he'd rejected it at that time I think the son would be less of an rear end in a top hat for deciding to go through with it anyway. It was a concession that was made to placate his father, not out of any goodwill.

I think it'd be one thing if the son mentioned it to his father, or offered him involvement at the outset and Dad turned him down, but it sounds like he didn't. Is OP breaking any laws? No, but he's most assuredly an rear end in a top hat. If I were the dad, I wouldn't be sharing anything but the most mundane of thoughts with him moving forward. Admittedly I'm not inclined to like the OP given the "my pansy dad is a pussy beta cuck and I'm a go-getter manly man" attitude.

He's a good businessman, which is almost a synonym for rear end in a top hat. He can both be right and a lovely dude at the same time.

Smirking_Serpent posted:AITA for stuffing $80 in my girlfriends purse, after she told me no to me offering her money? Yes, you're an rear end in a top hat. She specifically asked you not to do it, and not only did you do it, you did it in a way guaranteed to convince her you think she's a moron. Unless we're talking about a child, or someone incapable of communicating or taking care of themselves, you don't get to overlook another person's consent just because you're sure you have good intentions. Like, don't date someone who's too prideful to accept gifts, that's fine, but this was about the worst way to handle it.

Yeah, ideas are ten a penny, it's the ability to do the work that matters. Also, I'd like to know how long dad has had this idea. Is this something he'd just thought of and son swooped in to take it, or (as I suspect is more likely) is this something he thought of thirty years ago and done gently caress all with?

About idea Dad: How did he not notice that his son was starting a business based around his idea? He knew and never spoke up. He was never going to capitalize on the idea, and should be proud of his rear end in a top hat son. Son is still an rear end in a top hat for not giving his Dad a notice about what he was doing, and offering to involve Dad or something from the start. LOL at your new avatar, Pinecone.

I hate to tell you, you post on SA, you've been on a watchlist since Jul 7, 2009. I just hate everyone in that fantasy football one. Tape the game, learn to wait and not look at scores. If it gets spoiled for you, oh well, there will be other games. EDIT: good point, never considered that. ^^^^^

Considering he said he's so ~heavily invested~ on his fantasy team, he's probably trying to watch all Sunday games back-to-back and constantly check his fantasy league roster. Gotta have that up to the second update if Nick Foles throws a pick-6! My brother's that type of guy. Like, constantly glued to his phone during the season, because if LeSean McCoy picks up six more yards, then... It's the most aggravating thing in the world, because I could not give a plop about his fantasy league stats or any of the minutiae.

how do i get my ex back?quote:tl;dr: my ex and i broke up because my brother found out. my ex is myy brothers best friend. she told me she loved me for the first time and i know she meant it and she breaks up with me 1 week later. were still best friends now but now its awkward between us and she seems like she doesnt care to text me. my brother is going far away for school if that matters. How do i get her back? i love her so much and i want her back more than anything. sh said she doesnt want to be in a relationship right now with me because she feels too guilty and whatever else. we were so close and we did everything for eachother. she told me let her feelings come back naturally IF they come back. I dont want to move on. how do i make her fall in love with me again?

Is it a game that's actually PLAYED live, like you make decisions during the season which are time sensitive, so the person with the most info available the quickest has an advantage? Or do you make decisions/changes during the season at set times between games? Or is it just a set it and forget it thing where you just do the draft and let it play out with no changes to your lineup or w/e?

I used to have some friends who got into that but most of it sounded like gibberish to me so I never thought to ask: are different FF groups' ways of scoring points different enough that you *have* to watch the games to count up your score, or can that all be taken from a website after the game and it's just a very granular version of cheering the people on?

I the league is all meeting up at one of their homes and hanging out to watch the games I can understand him wanting to spend time with his friends bond over doing something they're into as a group. If not then...

I don't think people like the OP watch the games to see how their fantasy league is doing. They play fantasy leagues because they're already people who watch all the games and it makes them even more invested in what's going on. It's just an excuse to say "I need to watch this game to see how X is doing." Two kids younger than 3 is a handful, but he could still take care of them and have the TV on in the background and cheer and know what's going on, but I doubt that's the experience he wants.
