Cognac McCarthy posted:A person who makes some ethically-compromised decisions while refusing to make others is still a better person than someone who throws their hands up and decides not to try. Especially when, as others have pointed out, there are few to no better alternatives to the bad thing they do. There's no ethical consumption under capitalism but there is more and less unethical consumption. Someone who doesn't use Uber because its not a problem for them not to use it, and then criticises everyone else for using it, while simultaneously engaging with companies that are equally or more unethical because it is too useful/preferential to stop using them is not a "good person" or a "better person". It makes them someone who claims everyone should make "sacrifices" while making none of their own. I believe its morally wrong for people who can afford to buy free range or organic meat to buy mass produced meat from battery farms and other cruel methods of production. So I buy free range and organic because I can. That doesn't make me a better person than someone who can't afford to do that. So it all depends on your personal circumstances, and I would bet good money half the people saying you shouldn't use Uber because it's exploitative have phones, clothes, and other goods made in exploitative ways which they could afford to switch but don't, because for them not using uber isn't a hassle, whereas the other stuff is.

Maybe he went in for a physical found out he had cancer and been fighting it since and it upset the sister to see the slander. My one and only point is there's plenty of cases where the sister could know for a fact the OP is in the wrong. Mostly likely it's none of that though and the ex is just an rear end.

That's all true, but I wanted to point out that dude literally said that anyone stepping into an uber is a scab and needed to be guillotined, and then walked it back just a tiny bit. I have never crossed a picket line and I never will. I think Uber sucks and I use Lyft as an alternative when I don't have another great alternative, but I'm also not out here calling people scabs and advocating political violence for making purchase decisions that I disagree with. I'm all for movements to improve society but an organized boycott campaign is different than using violent rhetoric towards anyone that does something common but that you disapprove of.

WIBTA if I told my family that our "secret family recipe" came from the side of a can? Growing up every year around the holidays my mom would make fudge. The story was this amazing fudge recipe came from her grandma who snagged it from a famous candy maker. My mom didn't get the recipe until she was an adult and we were always told that we couldn't have it until we were 30. In my late teens my mom asked me to help make the fudge with her a few times. The recipe is very simple and this was all the exposure I needed to memorize it. I've never once needed to write the recipe down. It came out that I had the recipe early and my mom and her mom were both outraged. I was given many warnings against sharing family secrets and told they were disappointed at my sneaking around them. I've never shared the recipe with anyone besides my brother and sister. I don't have the same feelings about recipe hoarding, but I followed tradition. However even now, 15ish years later, I'll get comments about how they don't entirely trust me since I came by the recipe dishonestly. Tonight I was reading an article about a chef doing research on secret family recipes for pickled herring. He managed to get copies of hundreds of recipes-200 of them were identical. He traced them back to a cookbook from the 1960s. This got me thinking about our family recipe. After not much googling at all I found "our" exact recipe on the website for an evaporated milk company. They apparently have also printed the recipe on cans over the years. This leads me to believe that either my grandma or her mother actually got the recipe from a can and lied about it's origin. I think this is hilarious and want to share the information. We've been so secretive about a recipe that's in public domain! There's really no reason to hoard it anymore. Would I be the rear end in a top hat if I shared this knowledge with my mom?

There was this letter on Ask a Manger that was basically peak capitalism - the employee was taking it upon herself to reduce her struggling employer's costs by not claiming expenses, not eating the company provided dinners when working ot, reducing/canceling her 401k & health insurance and getting upset that her coworkers were not doing the same. The advice given was basically "WTF, you're being ridiculous, this is not what your company meant by cost cutting." Anyway, said peak capitalism employee sent in an update. Did she take the advice? Haha of course not. The original letter posted:My coworkers won’t help me cut expenses The update posted:A couple of months after writing the letter to you – about 8-9 months after receiving the original email – we were pulled into an all-staff meeting (for this business unit) at short notice which was headed by our overall boss and a couple of other big bosses, with representatives from HR present. A few different senior people spoke for a few minutes each, but the gist of it was that they have been undertaking an audit of how much it costs to carry out our usual business activities, how much we were able to cut costs by, etc. After analyzing all of it, they had concluded that it wasn’t profitable the way it was going, and so further action would have to be taken. We would now be entering a review period of how we could make efficiencies. An outsourcing/consultancy company would be doing those reviews.

AITA for reporting my friend's sexual relationship with a TA (Teaching Assistant) at university? I have a friend who I have a class with this semester. She's a really kind and beautiful person. I always thought she was the type to have a great moral compass. Anyway, we have the same TA that teaches a separate section for our main class. Right off the bat, a poo poo ton of people thought he was super cute and began to flirt with him during class. My friend, let's call her 'Anna', seemed especially uninterested and even made fun of the girls who were literally throwing themselves at him. The semester went on and even though Anna never was interested, it seemed like the TA himself was growing more and more fond of her. Anna was doing extremely well in the class and she stood out as one of the smartest students so he regularly praised her for her work and even wrote cute little compliments on her essays. I noticed that he would also try to talk to her a lot before and during class. Since Anna is really nice, she engaged him and they seemed to hit it off. Soon, Anna had nothing but good things to say about him; she was always going on about how nice and funny he is. It was pretty obvious she was starting to develop a crush. We joked a couple times about her sleeping with him and she always said she'd never and that they were just flirting. About two months later, we were walking back from a party with a small group of girls and she was pretty drunk. One girl noticed that she kept messaging someone and asked her who it was and Anna blurted out that the name of our TA. Shocked, I asked her why she was messaging him and she just giggled and said that he wanted her to come over to his apartment but she didn't want to because she was so drunk. The other girls, not really realizing who it was, thought it was so funny and continued teasing her asking if he was cute. Another girl asked if she'd slept with him yet and Anna said yeah, a couple times. I was just completely taken aback by that. That was last weekend. I texted her about it the day after and she admitted that it was true and it started happening last month. She said it was nothing serious and they're just having fun. I didn't really respond. Well, I sat on it for a couple of days and talked with a few of my close friends about it. Most of them told me to report the incident to the professor or department chair because it's a serious violation and that she won't get in trouble, only the TA will. I sent an email to my professor about it last night leaving out Anna's name and only saying who the TA was. He responded this morning and said that it was indeed an incredibly serious violation and that he would like to have a meeting with me and the department chair sometime this week. It all got really serious all of a sudden and I don't know why but I feel like I hosed up really badly. I don't know what I was expecting but this just made me feel like an rear end in a top hat for some reason. Edit: Should probably add that we're second-years and the TA is a first-year grad student so probably 22-23.

Smirking_Serpent posted:AITA for reporting my friend's sexual relationship with a TA (Teaching Assistant) at university? Oh who gives a poo poo you weenie. Students gently caress their TAs all the time. Speaking as a tenured university professor, if I found out that one of my TAs was in a relationship with a student in a section they were supervising, I would probably do three things: 1) have a delicate conversation with the student to make sure they weren't coerced into anything 2) have an intentionally awkward conversation with the TA for fun 3) double-check that student's grades against their work to be sure that there was nothing untoward going on. Beyond that who cares. Sagebrush fucked around with this message at 17:37 on Dec 5, 2019 |

Wait, am I taking crazy pills? It is super not okay for a TA to gently caress a student in the section they’re covering. Different section/class whatever, totally fine, everyone’s an adult, but you’re asking for a world of poo poo when the kids find out the TA who grades everything is getting boffed by one student in particular, even if the TA has had no favoritism grading-wise. That’s a loving nightmare of a situation. I’m not saying this OP isn’t an rear end in a top hat, it’s none of their business, but that is a bad situation all the way around.
