Sanford posted:I don't play online games but isn't a "battle pass" like a timed thing? So if he's not using it, it's wasted - and she says quite clearly they don't have money to waste. And his girlfriend didn't die so he can see her later, and if she had died then any effort he had made would have been wasted so it was prudent all round to just wait and see how things wash out. I hope he has the opportunity to explain things to her. Not a fan of this gimmick tbh

There's so much cultural hang-ups around sex, and it's built up into this super important and serious and kind of intimidating and scary thing, especially for young women. The reality is that sex can be serious and important, but more often than not it's just a kind of goofy, weird, messy thing people do to feel good and help other people feel good.

My favourite memory of sex ed was watching our very old teacher manhandle a condom over a hilariously large dildo. It was some jedi mind trick poo poo making a room full of teenage boys feel a mixture of woeful inadequacy, fear at having their dick mangled by putting on a rubber and general unease at watching somebody nearly of their grandmothers' age rubbering up her (presumably?) gigantic marital aid right in front of them. Thanks, Mrs. W!

quote:My 11-year-old son signed up for a Reddit account—without permission—to join a group called Roblox Tiddies, whose content is cartoon boobs created to titillate (pun intended). So, the easy question is, is it OK to tell him he can’t create accounts online without permission until he’s 13? Much tougher question is how I can make sure he knows there’s nothing wrong with being boobs- and nudity-curious while warning him (and sharing my value judgment) that Reddit and the rest of the internet is filled with terrifying, filthy, exploitative content that is not appropriate for minors. I don’t want to embarrass him, but I think it’s important that he knows there’s nothing wrong with being curious and wanting to see body parts you don’t have! when i die lay me in the ground say a prayer over my head and write BIG ROBLOX TIDDIES on my grave

I'm a twin and sometimes my dad accidentally gets my name wrong. Like, he doesn't even call me my twin's name when he does this, he calls me by our older brother's name, which is way more confusing. I can imagine getting upset about this if there were some kind of unresolved issue at play, such as the kind of grievance that can arise from having a step-parent, but I let my dad slide on it because he's always been kind of a space case and is dealing with Parkinson's

AITA for insisting its my sisters own fault she got dropped from her university classes, and telling my family I refuse to feel sorry for her? quote:Her classes are all remote, through zoom, dont even need a webcam on just log on to the class so the teacher sees your name there and checks it off. But I guess that was too much for her, and she would rather sleep all day instead. Shes missed the past two weeks straight, the university policy is if you miss two weeks of classes you get dropped(I know, I go there too).

CW: infant mortality AITA to telling my wife to stop calling herself a mother trash posted:My wife and I have been together for 5 years and married for 3. I’m 26 and she’s 25. Before we got together when she was 17 she was with someone else and she got pregnant. She lost that baby at 32 weeks due to the baby contracting a lung infection and dying. It sucks and is tragic and she visits the babies grave every year on the anniversary of its death. I have no problem with that. trash posted:She didn’t get to bring that kid home or even start a life. So no. She’s not a mother. She had the potential to be a mother trash posted:It didn’t die before it could be born. It was alive and then developed a lung infection and died in the hospital trash posted:She is in therapy. Her therapist supports her visiting it’s grave on the anniversary of its “death” and the tattoo

Involuntary Sparkle posted:There's a little update for this one, as an edit: Yeah, dude's all messed up in the head, glad she's getting out of there quote:Unfortunately he has done this in the past. Not with quiet so much money. So I have to wonder if he was gaging how much he can get away with. Where he has done first and ask for forgiveness later. And when I get upset I get his upset family. I think this was the straw that broke me. He refuses to be a stay at home dad because he thinks it’s demeaning but he won’t work a job because he isn’t passionate but won’t seek counseling because they are fake. I am not sure what else I can do. Maybe this will be the kick in the behind he needs? Or it will probably make his mother that much more involved in his life.

Visiting the grave and getting the tattoo seam relatively reasonable but bringing up your dead child unprompted and holding a facebook pity party on the anniversary is a bit much. The dude's right, in that if they do end up having kids she'll need to put them first and not hold them to the impossible standards of the imaginary child she's built up in her mind for 8 years.
