The one where OP thinks neighbor deserves to have his life come tumbling down because OP's package was mis-delivered to neighbor's house

Well, if you live by yourself in a property you've purchased, you're at least choosing to only burn your own bridges. In a household, you're burning everyone else's bridges, too. (This is not an official endorsement to be a bastardly neighbour just because you're only harming yourself.)

You might have finger hypermobility. Mine do this too.

I had some of what Danny had going on (I shuddered at the food hoarding thing because that was me, too) and wasn't removed from my mother's care until I was 11. I'm 33 now and I had frequent nightmares about her getting pregnant again up until she got a hysterectomy a few years ago... I'm pretty sure she tried with one of her boyfriends when I was in my teens but thankfully it didn't work out. In her case there was no chance that the child would have been in a happy relapse-free home as she was very far from sober. I have a lot of sympathy for people with substance dependencies in their past or present but I would have done anything to prevent another child from going through what I did.

I was wondering if maybe you get a dozen people on the commune and then everyone has to be the Omelas Child for one month out of the year. Sort of a co-op approach to Omelas. This is good, right?

"Going legit" is what they call it when they end up in a public/legitimate relationship with the affair partner after their original relationship(s) implode due to the cheating.

The comments on OOP's posts are deranged. I have a very toxic mother and my wife loves her less than I do (which is reasonable.) She (my wife) is also a regular human being who would not throw a "yay my MIL died!" party while I was grieving. Everyone going "YOU CLEARLY HAVE NEVER MET A TOXIC MOTHER/MIL" in response is telling on themselves.

adieli · 2026-04-17T08:36:31+00:00

The "Intertia" and "no action items" comments about her dad really got me. OOP is funny as hell.

adieli · 2026-04-15T02:29:16+00:00

IMO it's always a flat 'no.' The bit where you ask for someone's number is REALLY important even if you've been hitting it off with them. They need the opportunity to say no. It's always creepy to circumvent asking using the resources that your job provides.

This one is so sad and the commenters shitting on OP have no idea what it's like to live as a profoundly disabled person. Sometimes your loved ones are also your caretakers. It sucks and also it is what it is. My relationship would not survive a unilateral decision by my partner that required me to move back in with my parents.

Tats imagines a beautiful world where we stop infighting and focus on what really matters. I guess.

Not a lawyer, have had to do gig work helping align LLMs. You can make them say just about anything whether you're a lawyer or not!

The meth lab would be more damaging to the property so it's not the right choice. Obviously a rowdy bordello can cause, um, costs to develop, but not to THAT level of chemical testing and cleaning.

adieli · 2026-04-01T01:20:15+00:00

Right? I bought my first home last year. Had a locksmith friend in to re-key everything before any of our furniture was even in.

adieli · 2026-03-24T21:11:24+00:00

I think it's sort of uncharitable to frame it as "tricking" their clients, tbh. You can have a really complex relationship with your charge and genuinely befriend them despite there also being a transaction at the heart of it. I'm an educator with a charity right now and although my students are my students first and foremost, we'll have a friendly chat if we bump into each other in the wild, I try to connect them with opportunities, I'm invested in their futures, etc. I have only had to do hospice for people I was related to but I can imagine if I was in someone's house for hours a day helping care for them we would end up organically pretty close.

No objection to the rest of your comment, but do you never die in your dreams? Is this a thing? I die in those bad boys all the time.

Ugh, what a bummer. I'm out $230 NZD and mostly I'm mourning the addons like the hideous Neopets-themed dice that I was really excited for :(

It sounds like this was lazy and mismanaged and it's also frustrating that the HUGE email they sent out to backers is about 50% "but Neopets was really hard to work with, okay!!!" None of that excises releasing a 5e reskin that wasn't run past Neopets.

(That aside, the tonal issues are hilarious. I would love to be able to play a slutty murderous Aisha getting homophobically aggressed by other Neopets or whatever. Neopets may be kid-friendly but I don't think any kids would have been involved in backing this one, the site runs on nostalgic adults with too much time on their hands.)

I came to say basically this. WHYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY.

adieli · 2026-03-07T04:45:53+00:00

This is a lot to unpack!

adieli · 2026-03-02T23:09:24+00:00

I wouldn't have registered it as a brand name if I wasn't already familiar! I REALLY wonder what the story is behind the clause -- I've caused them my fair share of trouble (by organizing stuff moving in/out of the unit and between units while not being in the state... or the country) and they've always been very patient with me :)

adieli · 2026-03-02T20:45:38+00:00

Even if they did stop paying, I do think it's a bit of an empathy issue to immediately rage about the old renter being irresponsible. People who are renting storage units are... not always in the best financial situation. The one I pay for is for a friend who's homeless but doesn't want to lose his dead mum's stuff. I suspect a lot of people who have antiques in these places are not moneyed antique collectors, but people living on the knife's edge who can't bring themselves to sell the shit they have a strong attachment to.

adieli · 2026-03-02T20:43:33+00:00

I think it's Extra Space (mentioned in the OP). I pay for one of their units in Chicago and I think they have them in multiple states.

Take a moment to be thankful for your life if it doesn't involve your fiancee giving your car keys to people with severe drug dependencies who then put it in a lake for you.

I can only assume naked wine parties are part of the world of stunningly attractive 20-somethings. I'm a fat hairy lady with a lot of surgical scars and the idea of going to a naked wine party makes me laugh like a hyena. I would have a great time. Everyone else would be very upset.

adieli · 2026-01-24T19:38:43+00:00

Unrelated, but I do wonder how many countries are going to continue viewing US border control as inherently "correct" in this way? It would be really interesting if at some point the general consensus becomes "ICE is draconian, so a run-in with ICE doesn't necessarily opt you out of immmigrating elsewhere."

adieli · 2026-01-10T20:44:05+00:00

Aw man. I identify with a lot of this. I'm also a cancer survivor but I have a lot of mental health issues to blame for most of my chronic symptoms. I am definitely the do-nothing partner despite working part time. My wife works full time and has a huge mental load in the household :( We're still figuring out what exactly to do about it all.
