AITA #1 (may have done this before or tried to start it, but I’m going to start anew if that’s the case)

AITA for finding out the deepest darkest secrets of four of my classmates and blackmailing them?

I (17M) go to high school and discovered that four of my classmates (17-18; 3 M & 1 F) have incredibly juicy secrets. One illegally won a judo competition, one stole drugs, one plagiarized an essay, and one was involved in drug trafficking.

So, instead of repeating these to any authorities, I used it to my advantage. I had these people at my beck and call and they all repeatedly called me an asshole among other things, but like bitch I didn’t report you so.

Word on the street is that the school maintenance man is also involved in some shady shit. And I’ll be caught dead before I don’t try to use this info to my advantage.

So AITA or am I resourceful? I personally think the latter.

i enjoy that every single human’s reaction to penguin is unrestrained delight

And penguins lack large terrestrial predators, so their reaction to humans tends to be, “HELLO STRANGE GIANT PENGUINS, WHAT ARE YOU DOING? DO YOU HAVE ANY FISH?”

The next time you've got a friend over, set an example and put your phone on the table, visibly there but not too far away, to let them know that you're intentionally present, not distracted, your attention is undivided and you want to be fully focused on being right there to spend time with them. Don't mention it or draw attention to this, you're not doing this to be preachy or wanting praise, you just want to be a good friend and you value your friend's time. Ideally, your friend will either notice this or even pick it up without conscious notice, and set their own phone aside on the table as well.

Then, when your friend takes a minute to go to the bathroom, grab your phone and take a photo of your friend's phone sitting on your table. Do not touch it, and put your own phone back exactly where it was immediately once you've got the picture. Carry on with whatever you two were doing.

Once your time is up and your friend has left for home, wait for a good 15 minutes or so, for them to either get back home or be well on their way there. Text your friend, "hey, you forgot your phone", and send them the photo you took of their phone on your table. Set a stopwatch running from the moment your friend sees the message.

Measure how many seconds it takes for your friend to process this and tell you to go fuck yourself.

Make the worst Nancy Drew game premise challenge! I'll start.

Nancy has to investigate a kidnapping at an orphanage, and gets to talk to the orphans completely unsupervised about their dead parents.

Nancy drew has to use the internet conspiracy forums to investigate a robbery.

Nancy is going to track down all the lost luggage from her trips over the years. Good luck dealing with airlines and customs. JJ Ling is your only phone contact. The real treasure is the mom jeans we reclaim along the way.

Ned gets kidnapped and Nancy decides to do nothing. The rest of the game is fun vacation minigames.

Nancy returns to Dread Isle, and has to play minigames with those monkeys to solve the mystery

Mason from deadly device has a case for Nancy and a good portion of the game is Nancy messing up masons whole house and Mason crying. Nancy ends up doing far more harm than good.

Nancy has to solve a mystery pertaining to AI

I don't think it's a radical ideal for the want of Hawai'i to become their own independent country. It should have never been taken over by the US in the first place. For a country whose entire foundation is based upon "separation from a colonial country" it's laughable that they made an entire population that was self governed into a state. It's insulting. It's already blatantly obvious that this whole country was based on lies and blood, and it only continues to perpetuate that. I'm shocked that the Hawai'ian sovereignty movement isn't mainstream even though they have been fighting for it since 1997. Fuck the American government.

And you know this lovely individual has strong opinions on children being exposed to drag shows, certain books, Pride-related stuff etc.

That’s why they have such wholesome content painted on the back of their truck, of course.

Ghd longer I look the more confused I am

THE OLYMPICS???

Palestine and Israel are on the same side

This just keeps getting worse.

the UK is on both sides

Besides everything else mentioned there’s the fact that gay and trans people are on opposite sides.

Also the fact that both Pride flags and country flags are being represented.

Was this in someone’s dream or some AI nonsense 😭😭😭

Don’t forget to put out a telescope for Brigitte Penvellyn tonight.

I am glad you asked - definitely always a good thing to do but tomorrow is the winter solstice (maybe not exactly) a.k.a. “the longest night of year” which Jane and Ethel sing about in her ballad.

Also, I couldn’t tag you but maybe you wouldn’t want to be so hopefully you see this, hopelesslyentangled! ❄️

For some reason Facebook recommended a post for me that was like three months old and it was on a page I don’t follow - but that’s not the point.

I didn’t even read the article I just saw the headline. Basically it was about bosses wanting employees to be more “fun.” And the comments discussed issues with forced team bonding at work, as well as setting boundaries with coworkers by not being friends with them - that kind of thing.

I get that every workplace is different - at the past two places I worked a considered a lot of my coworkers “work friends” but didn’t hang out with anybody outside of work until I was done at those jobs. And obviously I have no issue with people who are comfortable going places with coworkers outside of work, having fun, when it’s not being forced by the boss.

That being said, I think, having that boundary of “my coworkers aren’t my friends”: not being interested in following anybody on social media that you work with, not inviting coworkers to parties, or going to theirs etc. is perfectly normal and very common - and healthy.

What bothered me was the comments criticizing these people. One woman was told “ you sound fun” sarcastically, because she expressed that she had this boundary with coworkers. How do you know that she’s not fun with her actual friends and family? Hell, how do you know she doesn’t joke around with coworkers at work - she just simply isn’t interested in hanging out outside of that situation?

It seems like a lot of them took having that boundary as implying that they’re like complete dicks to their coworkers? Someone decided to even throw out the word toxic to describe the commenters that stated they were not interested in being friends with coworkers. The irony of this is, while I think that word gets thrown around a lot unnecessarily, I do think it is toxic to think people need to be friends with everybody, or be against people setting very healthy boundaries in the workplace or anywhere.

They also didn’t seem to recognize a difference between organically forming a bond with coworkers - including friendship (which it’s awesome if you’ve done this) and a boss, forcing their employees to do “team building”activities that no one actually wants to do. Because then how is that fun?

TL;DR: There’s nothing wrong with not wanting to be friends with your coworkers. It doesn’t mean you’re a bad or mean person - just that you have healthy boundaries. There is also nothing wrong with being friends with your coworkers but not everyone wants to do that.
