it's a fact, jack. I almost wonder if a certain type of person is drawn to the idea of being a "small business owner" because it has a kind of American cachet attached to it. it almost reminds me of stolen valor from the kinds of "veteran" dudes who were like army janitors that never left the country.

How do I tell a child I don’t want to play animal crossing with him?

quote:

I got myself in a situation and I’m not sure how to let him down gently. I am in my mid twenties (F). I’m a HUGE fan of AC naturally so before the release all I could talk about was new horizons. At work, a woman has a young son (8 yrs) and I repeatedly told her to get it for them to play together. Last week she texted me and told me she got it. I told her that we should play together and sent her my friend code. (Originally thinking I would be playing with my coworker)

When I got the friend request I noticed it was her sons profile. No big deal. Added him and invited him to my island. We played for like 2 hours and actually had a lot of fun. She told me her son was really excited to have someone to play with. Great, animal crossing is more fun with friends. Growing up I played the old GameCube version for years and years and never had anyone to really play with so I was sympathetic and more than happy to play with this kid.

It’s been almost a week and he has bugged me nonstop at this point. Texting me off his moms phone asking me to play multiple times a day. Also begging to play with my boyfriend? Even texted me and said that his mom wanted to play, which I responded I would be on later and we could play. He responded that “his mom wanted to play with Alex” (my bf). I know for a fact my coworker does not want to play with my boyfriend.

He’s starting to make me uncomfortable and it’s preventing me from even logging on bc I don’t want him to see I’m on. How do I handle this situation without hurting his feelings?

TLDR : I offered to play AC with a child and now he won’t leave me alone

The whole idea of small business ownership in America is subscribing to libertarian ideals like denying your workers health care because it's too costly, lobbying for small business specific tax cuts, and refusing to pay a competitive wage because who cares gently caress off and be happy I'm employing your lazy rear end, so I have zero sympathy for small business owners in our dumb country.

Paid for my best friends butt enlargement surgery, now she won’t pay back, help??

quote:

Ok I know I’ve been really stupid but I’m just trying to figure out my options, please let me know if you need any more information as Im going to try to keep it as to-the-point as possible.

Last year, my best friend was pursuing getting BBL surgery (Brazilian Butt Lift, or fat transfer to the buttocks), went to her consultation and the like, and planned to book in via a finance option through the clinic.

Her credit score wasn’t good enough to be accepted for the finance option, and I offered to have the loan/financing arrangements in my name, so I paid out monthly, and she would pay me back via direct debit on the same day the payment went from my account over the course of a few years.

We both lived together, and as I found the flat, I am the only name on the tenancy, and she would send me her portion of rent via direct debit. We were very very close so this didn’t seem an issue.

Due to a mutual disagreement, we are no longer speaking, and she has packed all her bags and moved out on short notice and we are no longer in communication, and she is actively avoiding me.

She has not paid her portion of rent for this month, and I am now liable for the full amount.

I believe she is not going to pay her finance direct debit which is due soon as well.

Almost all correspondence we had regarding this matter was face to face as we lived together, and I have little to no proof that she said she would pay me back, but I assumed it would obvious that I as a young person with an average income would not spend 13k on plastic surgery for someone else, and didn’t foresee falling out.

The surgery is done and healed, so I cannot go down the bailiff route and try to retrieve or return the goods. I am also left responsible for the full rent, which I am struggling to afford.

Do I have any options by way of making her pay at least the last month’s rent, and more importantly, do I have any way of making her pay her direct debit payments or move the loan onto her name?

Location is england

Reddit detectives have declared this mgtow fanfiction. Apparently some of the language and details (cock carousal, monthly gangbangs) are common tropes on incel forums. Redditors would know.

Monthly gangbangs definitely sound like an invention. Organizing and pulling off an actual gangbang take a significant amount of planning. Finding a collection of acceptable dudes to invite is itself a massive hassle and generally requires plenty of social connections in a local kink scene. Then, you have to account for the fact that >50% of guys who seem really interested will flake once the reality of the thing gets close. Of course, there's also basic logistical stuff like getting a good space for the event, etc. Of the groups I know who have tried to do regularly-scheduled monthly gangbangs, literally none of them made it past the 3 month mark. (And these were organized, upper-middle-class adults who were very experienced with managing kinky social events.)

It's kind of implied that op just went to parties, got trashed, and gangbangs ensued, which basically never happens outside of porn and incel fantasies.

Is this flirting or friendship

quote:

So Me [19F] and this girl [19F] met in our college dorm pre quarantine and talked a couple of times before I eventually worked up the courage to ask her for her Snapchat and then we began occasionally talking. Eventually, after quarantine started we both got animal crossing and exchanged friend codes. Then we started going to each other's towns and playing together for hours and started sending each other gifts and taking pictures together in our museums and all of the other's villagers know our names and she even threw me a birthday party in animal crossing when it was my birthday. Every time I get on to play she has sent me a new gift she either made for me or bought for me. She also tells me how cute I look (both In the game and when we are talking over Snapchat). I just don't know if she's straight or not and I'm too afraid to ask because if she isn't into me I don't want to ruin our friendship. Is she flirting or are we friends???



TLDR; I cannot tell if a girl is flirting with me or we are just friends

Every city in in the USA has a swinger/kink club, in which parties are organized on at least a monthly basis. I am not dubious in the least a good looking woman could be gangbanged on a monthly basis, if she wanted to be, with very little logistical setup.

that's as part of an established scene though, not external sex groups forming outside of a dedicated sex club. one major reason sex clubs exist is because of the logistical hassle of trying to organize group sex, any group of working adults with families is going to have a hard time organizing a regular dinner let alone a suck and gently caress. someone's gonna want to reschedule because the kids have a dance recital that saturday and oh we can't have it this weekend because becky is out of town and she left the rubber pants at the cleaners, etc.

in OP's story the claim was that they were getting high and also, possibly related, having a lot of casual sex at college parties. while this isn't exactly implausible it is more of a fantasy scenario than realistic, and it's the exact kind of fantasy scenario that incels beat themselves up over because they have porn-tinged unrealistic expectations for how often and well other people gently caress. like it is possible that someone dealt with bad past experiences by having tons of casual sex, including ad hoc group sex, but it's more likely this story was written one handed just because the number of people who get twisted up thinking about gangbangs is greater than the number of people who actually make that happen in their young adulthood

I know about this, and have been to many of them. Full on-prem clubs are pretty rare outside of, like, San Francisco/New York/Vegas. And on-prem clubs are also pretty stingy about letting in unaccompanied men (except some clubs in Vegas, but those places are also often on the shady/dangerous side).

Even organized kink parties tend to be a little strict about actual sex occurring. And events where sex is specifically allowed also tend to not quite have the mix of people that would lead to a gangbang happening. I mean, in two years of helping to host a monthly play party in my old home town (done in the style of SF's Kinky Salon), I think I only saw one honest-to-goodness gangbang occur.

I (M37) received a letter from a woman (F34) I ghosted after hooking up twice, several months ago.

quote:

We met a couple of times (sex happened) and I ghosted her due to 1. finding her unattractive 2. not interesting 3. kind of vapid. She sends me memes and says hello on facebook sometimes- maybe once a month- and I never answer. It's been about 4 months. I have no intention of answering any of her messages.
A few days ago I received a letter where she is telling me how hurt she's been about what happened and how much she liked me back then and how she wishes we could talk. Apparently, she had/has (?) a crush on me. I have no idea what to do with this letter. It's written on nice paper and arrived in a fancy envelope. She has obviously put a lot of time into this. She finishes the letter by saying that she doesn't expect me to reply and she just needed to let me know how she felt.
I hate to say it but I really feel nothing for her and don't care about her at all. What should I do?
TL;DR: Had sex with a woman twice, ghosted her, received letter from her months later where she is detailing her hurt feelings. I dont care about her, but don't know what I should do.

AITA for never wanting to visit my grandma after my dad died

quote:

My dad passed away 2 years ago and we held a 5-day funeral to give time for overseas family members and friends to come and pay their final respects. My dad has 7 siblings and all arrived on the first day. They collectively decided that they would not inform my grandma (dad's mom) that he had passed away because she's very old (93 yrs old then)and would not be able to take the blow. So they decided to lie to her and said that he moved to another country. My grandma never got to say goodbye to my dad.

I was very disappointed with this because as his mom, she definitely has the right to know. However, I also know that I don't have the right to decide otherwise because my grandma's not my mom after all.

Since then I refuse to visit my grandma although she's apparently not well because I refuse to lie about something as severe and as heartbreaking as my dad's death (my dad had suffered a lot from a stroke and liver cancer). But my relatives now think that I'm the rear end in a top hat for not visiting her.

AITA?
