My ultimate guilty pleasure -- gossip and snark communities.
Seriously, what am I supposed to mindlessly read during lunch now?
I loved AmItheAsshole. I know 99% of them are fake, but it was a great way to pass the time. Though, maybe I need less of that snap-judgement type content in my life.
Towards the end, the ones I read felt blatantly obvious just from the title. "Hey guys I said, "That's not ok!" to my MIL because she drop kicked my toddler in the face for crying, AITA?"
And then even then it would be absolutely split down the middle in the comments.... haha.
I used to have such good conversations with my husband over AITA posts. We especially loved when our verdict ran counter to the circle jerk.
Some of them can certainly inspire some heated debate. Whenever my judgement was against the consensus, it always made me second guess if I was normal. Haha.
