So you buy a bunch of stuff and then resell it, but then after a while you recruit people to buy your stuff and then resell it. So you're one of a couple of people below someone, and then you've got a couple people below you.

If you imagine it on a chart it's kind of a triangle shape. So it's like a ... triangle plan? No wait that doesn't sound right. What's another word for that triangle shape but in 3D?

How about a Triforce scheme? You need the power to convince people to buy your product, the wisdom of utilizing many marketing strategies, and the courage to bullshit your way through tough customers.

I went to the post to see if that one was clarified and OP pulled some "well her family is HOMOPHOBIC CONSERVATIVES and that's why I don't like them, so really my aversion makes total sense!" bullshit. And you didn't think to put that in the OP the first time? gently caress off with that.

Yeah, the switch from weirdly vague specificity about Calvin and Hobbes to multiple edits of "forgot to mention, we're both women and her family's homophobic" is some real :psyduck: stuff

She's selfish because she wants to have a relationship with another adult that isn't her ex-husband? I'm pretty sure a 12-year old girl is manipulative enough to know that she can do whatever she wants at one parent's house, and the other has some rules, and she knows which she'd rather be in.

Sounds more like "mom is a nutjob control freak but dad isn't", especially with this bullshit line:

quote:

More so, my daughter is a child, and she shouldn't have the right to dictate how much she sees her parents.
The kid is a human being with actual feelings & autonomy, not some object she can lord over & dictate her boundaries/choices. Mom can gently caress right off.

AITA for calling my grandma's neighbors family crazy and telling them to leave us the gently caress alone

quote:

My grandma raised me (26m). She's been a widow since she was 21. Raised her daughter alone after my grandpa died while serving the country and when my mom went down a dark path and had me and didn't want me she stepped in and raised me. Anyone who knows her knows she is happily single and focuses on other stuff. About twenty years ago a couple moved in next door to her. The wife died six years ago. Ever since the widower has been trying to get my grandma to marry him. She told me about it a few times and I have seen the guy try to get closer to grandma. His family (I believe his two daughters and son) have even asked grandma to consider a companionship with him. She said no. She always has.

I was visiting grandma for a couple of weeks and saw the family three times. First time they asked if I was her grandson and suggested it would be nice for grandma and their dad to get together, second time they actually followed me to my car while I was going to get groceries and asked if I would talk to grandma about it. The third time I was doing yard work and they stop to chat. They tell me how their dad really likes my grandma, how she's been alone and crying for my grandpa for too long and I should encourage her to marry their dad and find another happily ever after because she doesn't realize how lonely she must be now that she's all alone.

I told them they were crazy if they thought my grandma didn't know herself and they said she's lying to herself. Nobody is happily widowed for fifty something years and doesn't miss the love and companionship of a romantic partner. They started getting overly chatty on my grandma's lack of a sex life and I told them to leave us the gently caress alone.

They told me I didn't need to be so rude and was holding grandma back. They then complained to grandma that she had raised me to be an rear end. Grandma laughed that they were so outraged given what they were talking about.

But AITA for being so rude to them?

The more you kick against the pricks, the more you suffer.
During the heights of the housing boom we'd get "offers" on our house like once a week. I presume that most of these were scams, low-ball sharks, realtors looking for clients etc. We developed a canned response that informed the house was indeed for sale at 500k over the already ridiculous price that Zillow listed and directed them to contact our attorney (me, though my professional name is different than what's on the deed) with firm written offers only.

Never once has to deal with a follow up, guess their totally real clients had other fish to fry.
