If I were to spend an hour or two working on tech documentation, then have the boss turn around and tell me to get #AI to rewrite it to be more “readable” (without saying what actual readability issues he had with it), is it reasonable to spend the next half hour in a massive argument with them over it before finally instructing an AI to “rewrite it so an idiot can read it” and dropping offline for the rest of the day? #AITA #AISlop

Was I The Asshole for calling out my friend?

lemmings.world/post/21079147

lemmings.worldWas I The Asshole for calling out my friend? - Lemmings.worldThis is from almost 4 years ago, but still. I (at the time, 16F) was bi-curious (I still am) and was willing to give dating girls a try. So, I told my one friend (she was just my type but as a woman) that I liked her. My type is charismatic, extroverted, and athletic, and of course, Victoria (15F) was all of those things. There was this other girl (17F?) Mariana, who actually was interested in me, but she was shy and not athletic. Along with that, she was a lesbian, and in order for me to form a connection with a girl, she HAS to be into men. I honestly think the whole friend group I had was interested in me, but there was just one problem with all of this: I was still dating Jamie, my boyfriend. (17M) Mariana was also friends with Victoria. Apparently Victoria told Mariana that we confessed our feelings and started to go out. Sadly, Mariana ruined my only chance with a woman. Like I said, I was still dating Jamie, and Mariana knew about Jamie, but Victoria did not. Mariana had to open her fat mouth and asked if Victoria and I were in an open relationship. (She knew Jamie and I were still a thing and that we haven’t broken up yet) Mariana then told her about Jamie. Later that day, when I saw her again, I was with Jamie, holding his hand and being all romantic. Just when I was about to kiss his cheek, Victoria was about to approach me and looked visibly upset upon still seeing me with Jamie. Angrily, Victoria told me Mariana told her everything. I called Mariana a dumb bitch and an asshole, and told her she couldn’t sit with me for the remainder of sophomore year. I could tell Mariana was devoted to me though, as were most of my friends, and she apologized as I told her to. I also told her to tell everyone it was just a rumor and a lie that Jamie was my boyfriend, but Victoria did not want me back afterwards. (Fuck you for that, Mariana.) I genuinely believed Mariana deserved a punishment and that she was being homophobic for telling Victoria that. She ruined my only chance with a woman. I’ll never find another woman as pretty, popular, or extroverted as her. Plus, Victoria and I both liked scrolling through TikTok all day non-stop. Now it’s been 4 years, like I said. I’m almost 20. I think I was very kind to forgive Mariana. As part of the punishment, I told all my friends to talk shit about Mariana and brutally punish her, but of course we were easily forgiving people.

Someone, real miserable people, esp to me, in real life is having their ultimate #FAFO moment (not related to politics) after ignoring and mocking our advice over and over again and I thought for sure it would end up being a #schadenfreude event but it's just a pitiful unnecessary set of events. No Schadenfreude.

Now, Penny and I are expected to pull them out of the ashes and 6 months ago it would have been something we would have considered, esp before Penny's heart attack and when the economy and our finances were better and more assured, but now, we must be firm. (Penny and I are in unison)

They mocked the FAFO warnings and now must live with the FAFO fallout. We're not able to go down with their ship. The events were totally preventable and foreseeable.

For a year or two, I figured there would be some Schadenfreude. I guess, in this instance, I am a better person than I thought I was.🤭 I thought at least, this would be an #AITA for enjoying it but no, no pleasure, just pity.

This guy I'm working with on this consulting project keeps sending me voice messages *in* iMessage.

Not sure why he's not using voice-to-text to send me text messages instead.

It's sort of annoying, it puts the burden on *me* to have to listen to them. (yes, Apple is doing automatic transcription sort of but it's not ideal).

Weird. Am I missing some good reason why he's doing this? I guess I should ask him.

#AITA ?

Had an acquaintance reach out to me yesterday I haven't spoken to in probably 15 years.

He texted me out of the blue. He lives in the southern states now. I remember him being pro organic foods that sort of thing and then his leanings started changing and his writings he did online started moving to the right. Then I lost touch with him.

While we were texting I searched online and found out he ran for a conservative party here and was actually ejected for some offensive comments about single moms and immigrants.( If he did that now it would be a badge of honor. Guess he was just ahead of his time.)

So we are texting back and forth and he makes some comment about doctors pushing pills and vaccines. So I ask him if he's antivax. Of course he is. He goes into some weird rants about polio being caused by DDT and other crazy shit. I send him evidence his theories are wrong. He tells me he wants to move his family to Russia or Paraguay so his kids can afford houses. He then starts talking about RFK Jr. and some stupid video. I told him I think that RFK is a fucking nut bag and I won't watch a video he does.

I tell him I feel sorry that he's gone down this conspiracy path but all his bullshit always has one small part that's true while the rest is nuts.

We go back and forth a little longer but I realize I can't spare any brain cells on this craziness and block him.

What I want to know is... AITA for blocking him or should I listen to insane conspiracy theories?
