Just roll your eyes when she bitches about it, then talk in private about it later...which also has the benefit of being far more likely to actually get through compared to putting her on the defensive with a public call-out.

WIBTA if I refuse to let a person fully join our coven.quote:We've had a problem in our coven. We started of with only a few people but have been growing rapidly we now have ~12 dedicants and full-member as well as 6 new seekers. It's an entirely closed door, totally secret coven and no one has spilled anything, they take an oath not to. However, we've had a problem with some of the seekers.

Aside from the fact that this is going to devolve into a cult and implode a few days after opening the "sex magick" chapter in their ancient 1990s guidebooks, I'm actually on witch lady's side here. You have standards for your club and someone didn't meet them. Yeah you're kind of an rear end in a top hat. You've also got a literal waiting list of people to get in. Enjoy being one of the popular kids for a little while. If your applicant had a better attitude you could probably bend the rules and give them more time to acclimate, but instead of starting the Rocky training montage they're whining about fitness standards lower than what most public school kids have to do daily. That's not energy you want to bring in. razorrozar posted:im slightly confused why exercise is an integral part of witchcraft but that person's attitude alone seems toxic enough to keep them out It's pretty obviously just a ladies group where they're encouraging general health, self-defense, good lifestyle practices etc. as an outgrowth of natural interest in the same New Age accoutrements that a lot of people gravitate toward when they don't fit into Christianity but aren't broken enough to subscribe to hardline atheism. Honestly it's  af and I support it in all forms.

mind the walrus posted:Oh of course, but when that happens you don't run to the internet to post about the sick there are different ways of being "over it;" by most people's measure, being "over it" means that the person no longer has a negative effect on your life. one way to be over it is to turn into a beatific christ figure and grant selfless forgiveness, which is what the tormentor would prefer another is to tell them to cram it up their rear end, perform a rude gesture, and later celebrate your victory with your friends; this is a positive effect for you another is to genuinely forget about it and just stare blankly when the tormentor brings it up. none is "better" than another. you can be completely over someone and still think yep, they're a piece of poo poo, and i will never have any interest in talking to them again, and that's fine. (the woman in the story i would say is not over it yet because she says it still comes up in therapy)

Honestly it's i have nothing against any kind of paganism! whatever anyone chooses to believe, and however they choose to practice it, are perfectly valid and fine as long as it doesn't hurt anyone and they don't try to force it on anyone. i just didn't see the connection.

WIBTAH if I told my manager that my coworker who is supposed to be out for a funeral is at the Cotton Bowl? Currently, in my city's market, we only have two employees. In the last two months, my coworker's performance has dipped. Which has resulted in me working both my stores and also fixing what's is behind at his. It's bothered me, yes, but I let it go because I figured he might be having trouble at home again. So my coworker decided to take Dec 25th - Jan 2nd off. No big deal the dude never takes vacations and he gave plenty of notice for us to find someone to fill in and make hotel reservations for that temp. I've worked out a plan and we have all his stores covered. Dec 19th he cancels his PTO all except for the 26th. So then my manager cancels the hotel reservation because my coworker will be here instead. On the morning of the 27th I txt him double-checking he’ll be at work that day. I didn't get a response until I showed up at his store. I saw him sitting in his car and then I got a text from him saying ”My grandfather died yesterday and I'm going to be gone till the 2nd.”. So I go over and ask him if everythings okay. He responded with ”Yeah, I thought I'd be fine to work so I came in today. But I’m not and I don't know if I can cover your store in [other city 1hr away] I just think after I drive that far my head just won be in the right place to work.” I usually service that store 3 times a week but my manager placed my coworker on this store Friday because he wanted me to have a break from driving. So I ask if my coworker has told our manager yet and he said yes he just texted him. I told him he should probably call our manager because this would be an issue you should call about. He responded okay very reluctantly and I went to work. Next thing I know my manager is calling me upset that my coworker essentially screwed us this week. He explained that my coworker who has to drive through the city of my store offered to do that store. That and I quote ”I can do it if you really need me to. But with my family, I don't know when I'll be back. Maybe Monday or maybe the 2nd I'll let you know.” so my manager explained he just let my coworker go because it's been such a headache. Because not only did he suddenly want his PTO back at a short notice I also had to tell my manager that my coworker essentially left a lot of work for me. That it's looked like he hasn't been doing his job to the last two weeks. Monday I asked my coworker if he will be in and the only response I get is ”I told Manager I’ll be back on the 2nd.” so then I call my manager who is again blindsided by this. He said that Coworker was supposed to tell him and that he hasn't been able to get ahold of him all weekend. I was on snap chat today and found that my coworker had posted up on his story that he is at the Cotton Bowl. Which is 4 hours away in the opposite direction of his grandfather's funeral. I texted him and asked how everything with his grandfather's funeral and he responded by deleting me off snap chat. So WIBTAH if I told my manager?

WIBTA if I didn’t replace my roommates liquor?quote:My roommate went out of town for the new year, so I had some friends over. We have a bar, so we ended up getting into a bottle of my roommates whiskey. It was a gift from his dad but I didn’t think anything of it. He drinks liquor that I buy all the time. This whiskey was really good so I looked up the bottle and it costs around $150. I feel bad that we almost finished it, but I don’t think I should replace it. My friends think I should replace it and they’re willing to throw in. We could afford to get him like a $50 bottle. He will be back on the 5th. I don’t think I should replace it at all because he drinks my liquor and beer all the time. It’s a shared bar and he didn’t keep it in his room.

feedmegin posted:Is it the ch in 'loch' in the Scottish sense? Not really. I'm not trying to be awkward, it really is just that it's got its own sound and it's hard to describe and I've probably done a bad job (we do also use the ch sound like the Scottish Loch, "ch" is also a letter in the Welsh alphabet). This video is going through how to pronounce all the letters, and they get to "Ll" at about 3:30. https://youtu.be/6r2AX5v55ds As an English speaker you take one look at Welsh and you're like "what the gently caress?" because you're trying to see how you'd pronounce it in the English alphabet. If you learn the Welsh alphabet and look at it thinking like that, it's actually really phonetic. Each letter has its own sound and you just string the sounds together to form any word. It's also structured differently, as nouns come before descriptors. So in English you would say you're starting at a new school, whereas in Welsh you'd say you were starting at "School, New", and a new red shirt would be "Shirt, red, new". And that ends my lesson in Welsh. Llywelyn is a bad rear end name in Welsh, the only king that ruled over the whole of Wales as a King was Llywelyn the Great. Brave choice outside of the UK if you have literally no family connection to Wales though. Dudes friends can get hosed, it's no different to calling your child Charles, or Henry, or Richard or George or Louis or any dozen of names. All are Kings names.

the liquor story is why young having poo poo like a 'shared bar' while you also live with roomies in that college/post-college haze is a terrible loving idea bc it's inevitable that eventually someone will plough through something assuming it should be 'all cool' based on the communal nature of it like, it seems obvious that you don't just drink someone's expensive birthday booze, and while it's very likely it was only out on the bar as decoration until a special occasion, at the same time this was bound to happen in a shared bar. especially if it's a holiday gathering and the bottle looks cool or fancy. someone's gonna get a little tipsy, want to keep going and crack the nice booze that's out without thinking. the truth is that the etiquette around such things as a 'shared bar' gets murky and can be highly dependent on context, but also poo poo like culture, or how your own family growing up handled splitting resources, etc. All too often, people assume that the rules of such shared resources are 'common sense' and thus won't clearly communicate boundaries or expectations, and this is where misunderstandings/fights can occur. It gets even more complex when you factor in that some people use this grey area to their advantage, to take more than their share and play dumb.

AITA: Girlfriend said we can't visit her hometown as she has slept with too many people there? My girlfriend (25F) and I (25M) have been together for about 5 months, and a month or so into it we were talking about our home towns. We both come from Scotland but moved down to England (she moved when she was 4, I moved down when I was 22). She spent the majority of her life in a "rough" coastal town in England, which I wasn't all that bothered about visiting, however when we were talking about it she said "I'll probably never take you there anyway because you'll bump into someone I've slept with". This comment made me feel very uncomfortable and slightly upset since we weren't on the subject of past partners/encounters and it just seemed like something you don't say. She couldn't comprehend why it bothered me and didn't show any sympathy or acknowledgement for my feelings. For reference the town she is referring to has a population of around 70,000 people. She also spent New Year back in this town which also made me feel slightly uncomfortable due to the above. AITA for being annoyed/uncomfortable/upset at this comment?
