This thread gets a fair amount of poo poo but it never fails to warm my heart seeing these stories where people make it through their terrible childhood and then tell their awful parents to gently caress off forever.

But how the gently caress do you manage to break a computer screen multiple times a month? Like, Archie grew up with televisions in the house; presumably his family wasn't shattering the TV and buying a new one every two weeks.

Googling "school prank damage" brings up a lot of stories on one thing that happened last year, dunno if posting it would be too close to doxxing but the long and short of it was super glued doors, spray painted windows, a metric fuckload of toilet paper, and oil all over the floors.

Nothing racist or physically harmful but drat that's a lot and I wish I could muster up that kind of energy to do anything in life.

Huh. That post has actually really made me examine myself and question whether my position on the issue is healthy. I'm also voluntarily not having kids, both because I'm aware I'd be a poo poo parent and because there's a long list of physical and mental illness in my family.

I can empathize with the dude's hesitance to potentially raise a kid who he views as being significantly more difficult to raise than a hearing child. On the other hand, his attitude is inarguably ableist by its definition.

I mean this without sarcasm, this is why I still visit this forum. It still makes me challenge myself.

imo this makes the dad also an rear end in a top hat

My name opinion on this hinges entirely on whether or not said box has a lock. If not, yeah, gently caress this dude. If it does that seems like a low key admission that stepmom did it and sorry, here's a safeguard against her crazy rear end. Still a dick for lying about where he found it though.

The only problem with knowing a lot of vegans is there is, invariably, a ten minute discussion about how vegan cheese is actually really good you should try it no not that one this one it's actually better than real cheese

AITA for not replacing my wife's knitting yarn after I accidentally threw it away?

Knitting is productive and can be done while still hanging out with your SO, I really don't know what else you could possibly want in their hobby.

I went looking for content just so I could say this: This besmirching of tiny local taquerias and their terrible photo menus will not stand. You'll take my delicious $2 tortas from my cold, fat hands.

Anyway, look at this wiener.

Am I (M19) Obligated to show up to my Gf (F20) birthday party?

To start off today is my girlfriends birthday. This morning I took her out to a super fancy breakfast gave her all of the gifts I got her, we both had a genuinely good time. Her plan has always been to throw a party tonight which I have planned on attending (since we live together).. and she kind of expects me to. Because of it being her birthday I’ve paid for everything for the party, in total in the past week I’ve spent almost $1000 on her for her gifts and party she’s throwing at our place (I am by no means wealthy). The issue is... today I found out all who is showing up. Her friends are all about the party life, they drink and smoke like crazy, I do not like surrounding myself with people like that, to be honest her friends are very immature and I don’t like them but I keep my mouth shut. All I’m asking is, am I in the wrong if I choose not to attend the party, based on the fact I do not want to be around alcohol in the hands of underage people and people smoking (all of which is illegal)?

TL;DR Am I in the wrong not attending my girlfriends party because of the underage drinking and smoking that will be going on

Reddit pretty universal here voting YTA.

Honestly any one of these that gets posted here, if I have strong opinions I go check reddit's verdict and usually they vote the same way I do.

If nothing else, r/r seems to be good about shaming out assholes. Which is good, because the admins don't seem to do anything except delete threads that contain unacceptable keywords.

I'm gonna guess this man doesn't have a particularly refined palate.

As for bad dad #274, I can't say I'd be super stoked to give $120,000 to a kid who obviously wants nothing to do with me, but I've also never raised a kid to age 12. I'd probably give him half and build up on the other for stepkid, but even then, ex is absolutely going to raise hell whether he gives some or nothing. He does write like an rear end in a top hat, though.

I used to foster animals and only did pregnant dogs/pup litters a handful of times, it is absolutely disgusting. The puppies are cute, sure, but you will never forget the reek of dog poo poo, and keeping all the wriggly motherfuckers clean, warm, and fed at all times is a sisyphusian task.

Kittens are ridiculously easy to take care of in comparison. If I showed up to my house and found 10 newborn puppies I can't guarantee I'd be acting much better than the roommate.

Having it doesn't make someone an rear end in a top hat. Not telling their partner they're having an outbreak while having unprotected sex does.

Yeah my bad, I should've thought more on how to phrase that. "Spreads herpes to unwitting partners," then.
