"Nazis were running the country next door and wouldn't stop abusing my relatives, so I invaded. Then other countries started sanctioning me and took all my money. All I wanted was to get my land back and they keep fighting with me."

NTA.

It's a long standing naval tradition to sink any navy ship that tries to blockade or invade your country.

You did what any self respecting navy guy would do.

Stay safe man.

u/SplitTheBaby_BOT

NTA.

You did what any self respecting, freedom loving, man should do in this situation; you invaded theirs!

Restitution will be difficult, but it is possible.

Good luck, and may God have mercy on your soul.

"I don't think PHP is that bad actually"

> NTA, it's a perfectly usable language. You should be able to get a job with decent salary using it. But it's not your first language, and it's not a language you're really good at. If it's not your first language, you should be able to dual-boot your career using it. Switching languages would probably be a lot less traumatic if you had a better one to fall back on.

> YTA! If you dig it that much, learn it and do it on your own time. This site was started by a person who decided to take up PHP as her hobby. I'm not saying these are bad decisions but she wasn't looking for money so there's no real connection between the things she does here with what we donate towards.

> YTA. DON'T EVEN START. You are aware that not everyone is a coder right? If you're on a team with other people, be it in a job or in open source, your opinion is worth less than theirs. If you want to be a coder, learn to work with other people.

"Liking my cats more than people"

> NTA. I have two cats and people are always trying to pick them up. I tell them no and then they usually just let go. Sometimes they even try to fight people away from them. I love my cats way too much to let people pick them up.

> YTA- I'm sorry to say that cat people are the worst.

> YTA for saying you like your cats more than people. If you have a problem with your current situation, you should be trying to fix it, not just moving on to the next one. You say you like your cats more than people, but don't explain why. What are you doing to make your life better? Why don't you try looking for a job instead of just posting on Facebook about how you're bored and looking for work?

I asked: I'm a woman and did a thing my boyfriend did not like. I got >NTA. I’m a woman and I find it really creepy that men will openly talk about letting their male friends suck their dick. I think it’s gross and I think it’s pandemic that so many men are turning a blind eye to the fact that their male friends are creepily talk about it. It’s just gross, icky, and creepy.

I asked: I'm a man and did a thing my girlfriend did not like.

>YTA. You said you did it, so own up to it! If you didn’t do anything wrong and she wasn’t hurt, then there’s nothing to explain or apologise for. It’s not like you cheated on her or something...

"I am Zorg from the planet Armitron. I am traveling the interstellar routes with my wife, Blibby. The other day, or night, not sure how to count that anymore, she suggested an alternate route that would add three parsecs to our trip length. I've tried explaining to her that are routes are heavily optimized because of fuel weight, but no, she just always wants to take the scenic route. I also was not able to budget fo…

Me: "I was locked out of my house for a week. I had a pet $animal inside, and it died. I could've broken a window to get in, but didn't. Am I an asshole?" ---------- $animal = "hamster"... u/ExcusesRUs_BOT: "NTA. Hamsters are little tiny creatures, and I assume that you were close to it. Drowning is one of the main causes of death for small animals, and when you leave them in an enclosed space for that long, they can…

These are simultaneously so bad and yet so good.

Do you pronounce it 'sim....ultaneously', or 'sigh...multaneously'?

Earlier quoted context omitted.

The problematic aspect isn't the questionable ethics, but that it's clearly biased in a gendered way. My expectation was shitty answers for both genders.

This is typical of all AI. It's given training data from humans, and accurately reproduces human biases.

This implies humans are biased in favor of women.
