Prank humor without forethought strikes again! Generally old mate would be able to / have to write that day off and fast another day at the end to make up for this lost day.

The OP broke the fast unintentionally, which generally doesn�t invalidate the day of fasting. You just stop eating or drinking as soon as you�re aware sundown hasn�t come. Still a jackass prank to play, though.

Electric Wrigglies posted:

If prankster wanted to make up for it he could do a full day of fasting by way of apology and show intent to understanding how tough it is not to drink or eat for the full day.

The fast isn�t punishment. Doing it just to experience hunger and thirst for a day misses the point of OP�s anger. He�s not cranky because he didn�t meet a dietary goal: he�s angry that a deeply spiritual experience that means a lot to him was treated as a joke.

At least for me, I would be even more upset if someone who tricked me into breaking my fast early then decided to �apologize� by observing a pillar of my faith as punishment.

AITA for not telling people that I have gay dads?

quote:

I (16 F) was adopted by a gay dads two years ago.

My friends and I were having a fun zoom chitchat when one of my dad came in to tell me that he was going out and my other dad was having a important zoom meeting in the study so I cannot enter the study.

Now, we live in relatively small town where almost everyone knows everyone and it is pretty well known that my dads adopted me two years ago.

One of my friends asked me if I had two dads to which I replied yes and she got angry at me for not informing her that earlier.

She took offence to the fact that I didn't tell her about how my dads were gay even though I knew that she was a Christian and now she think I purposely hid that price of information from her knowing that she is a Christian.

She is now spreading lies about how I tried to change her religion by hiding the fact that my dads were gay. Most of the town knew the fact that my fathers were gay and therefore are not supporting her in these claims so now she thinks that I am purposely plotting against her so that she becomes an outcast for just following her religion.

I mean I knew that she was a Christian but I know a lot of Christians that are okay with homosexuality so I never thought of it as a big deal.

AITA?

In Jewish communities there are plenty of people who keep kosher for passover without keeping kosher. For instance, ast passover I made pulled pork and collard greens (with ham hock) but didn't serve any levened bread. It seems extremely plausible to me that there are muslims who would observe the requirements of ramadan without otherwise following halal rules.

Its not physical poo poo so much as all the bugs that are going to be knocking around your butt and now, your hands. We did a black light test on our hands as part of the course - my god, hands are disgusting. Even after a solid wash, the edges of your nails and any rings you're wearing will still be beautiful metropoli of bugs.

I hated watching cooking shows where people handle food while wearing rings before, but now...(shivers)

AITA for staying neutral in a situation between my son and my daughter + wife

quote:

This all started a couple of years ago and it completely split our family apart. My son, Z (22M), has pretty much been estranged from us since he was 18.

Adam is the son of good family friends, he and my daughter, P (24F), begun dating around when they were 19. The problem is Adam was a bully to my son throughout school, as you can imagine he didn't take it very well. He was furious, however my daughter refused to budge on this. I tried to stay out of the situation but my wife took my daughter's side, partially as were good friends with Adam's parents, but also because she thought Z would eventually get over it. Unfortunately that didn't happen, instead it made a stark difference in my son's personality, he had become much more aggressive, cold and disrespectful. He no longer listened to what me or his mother had to say, often using intimidation to get what he wanted, he would also disappear for days a time without so much as a word. This would more or less carry on until he left for university, after which he probably spent no more than 2 weeks in total back at home, opting to stay with friends or whatever girl he was seeing at the time.

He has rejected any olive branch we extend. This has completely destroyed our family and it especially hurts my wife as they were quite close before this happened. The last time we spoke was last year before lockdown, he called me a coward for sitting on the fence. I understand why he feels the way he does, but was I really wrong to stay neutral in this? I didn't feel like it was my place to control my daughter's dating life.

I mean the age gap being between siblings rather than between partners. Like, the older sister was in her twenties when the younger was born and apparently resents the spotlight being taken away from her and takes advantage of her younger sister?

OP is rightfully getting dragged in the comments. His attempts at defense are not helping. When asked if he ever intervened in the bullying:

quote:

We didn't know how bad it was till it was too late. At this point it's too late for that kind of conversation to be had, especially given that Adam's parents now have their own reasons for disliking my son

Why don't Adam's parents like OP's son?

quote:

There's 2 reasons Adam's parents don't like my son.

1.Adam's younger brother made the mistake of trying to pick on my son, this back fired and my son has more or less bullied him until he went off to university. Typically taking money off him and his friends, of course he completely ignored me when I tried to speak to him.

2.We hosted Adam's family one time, Adam's mum was going through a health scare at the time so we thought it would be a good idea. Once my son learnt of the health scare, he burst in to laughter right in front of them before making some of the most crude remarks I'd ever heard in my life.

I hope OP's son bullies him on his deathbed.

I mean it sounds like the son ended up growing up to be physically larger than the bully. But the dad even says the bullying was severe and the kid's younger brother tried to also start poo poo before the son reversed it. You'd think if he could in any way pin it on the son for starting it he would have considering how much he clearly favors the bully.

One of the dad's comments says that Adam tried to apologize but "it didn't go well," implying that Z beat up Adam after the apology. He can't say it outright because the the subreddit's rules against mentioning violence. The order of events indicate that Adam bullied Z first, and then Z literally fought back after receiving no protection from his family.

So no, i dont think that Adam is the victim here.

In my case my ears are borked such that I'm 100% deaf in both ears, so residual hearing was never a problem. It was more of an experimental thing at the time and I was touted a bit in my state as a successful case (before they unceremoniously abandoned me entirely as soon as I turned 18 ) but yeah, I think age also plays a factor in it.
I agree about not wanting the other one implanted- taking care of just the one is a pain in the rear end. They did make me the offer to get the other ear done when I was in middle school, but I turned it down.

I suppose that would be another advantage to plugging directly into the brain like Neuralink is aiming for (as well as bypassing the cochlea and optic nerve, and not messing with residual hearing).

Adam copped to having been the instigator and if there was any halfway plausible way to pin this whole thing on his son the OP would be racing for it so fast there'd be a smoke trail, so no. it turns out people who've been terrorized all their lives with no recourse can eventually learn that terror is the way to get what you want, instead of being hapless martyrs passively lamenting their fate forever.
