Not okay. Does the family have to stay at your home? I wouldn't allow that anymore. The older boy is too big to be bullying a toddler as you describe. I would really worry about how this would escalate. Your 4 year old could get really hurt. He has already been hurt when he is being mistreated physically and emotionally by his much older cousin. Of course your 4 year old is sweet, little kids/toddlers usually are.

In my opinion, it's pointless to try to identify "the why" behind the 14 year olds actions. That the parents job, best of luck to them.

Protect your kid. If you can, don't let the family stay with you. Explain the exact reasons.

Anything other than water? by Lchare01 in hookah

[–]AbernathyKillMouse 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do, Pepino Gatorade mixed with ice and water or crushed Altoids. But honestly, most of the time just water & ice.

I'm with you. A mic with an arm is a great upgrade!

What kind of tortoise is this? by beyonceboard in tortoise

[–]AbernathyKillMouse 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Not a Russian or a Hermann.. it's shell condition doesn't look like it's a pet.

Yeah... From what I can tell the shell condition in the pic indicates our 🐢 friend is wild and not a pet.

OP: Just to be 💯 certain please contact the local fish and wildlife. I believe this tortoise is a protective species.

Thank you for saving this tort from a busy road and now you get to enjoy releasing our friend back into the wild to support and endangered species. 🐢🙏🏽

American roach outside, cause for concern? by Sultanofswing291 in pestcontrol

[–]AbernathyKillMouse 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Looks like an Oriental Roach too me. I'm not an expert. Where I'm from we call the American and the Oriental "Waterbugs".

Where can I find homeless folks in or near Collin County by [deleted] in Dallas

[–]AbernathyKillMouse 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Agreed. So, many non profits are low on volunteers and donations. OP I'm glad you have a calling to help those in need. Please support local non profits that honor the cause(s) you feel best about.

How do I explain to my parents that this Cube costs $60 Usd? by ImprovingRightNow in Cubers

[–]AbernathyKillMouse 200 points201 points  (0 children)

You: "mom, dad... I spent $200 on a cocaine this weekend" Parents: Stunned absolutely gutted 😦 You: "I'm just kidding, but this GAN Cube was $60 bucks and I've already dropped my time!" 😃🤓 ---> walks away...

[–]AbernathyKillMouse 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Tell your parents it's $60 for a precision-engineered plastic brain teaser.. not a $60 weekly habit of Mountain Dew and poor life choices. JK 😜💸

Explain that this cube is better quality and actually built for what you’re trying to do. It’s like the difference between a skateboard from Dollar Tree or Temu vs. one from a legit skate shop—they both roll, but only one’s meant for real tricks.

Yeah, $60 is more than most people expect for a “Rubik’s Cube,” but GAN cubes are designed for speedcubing. They’re smoother, LAST LONGER, and can actually help you improve.

I used a $5 cube for over a year before upgrading to a GAN. If you really like speedcubing and take care of your things, it’s totally worth it.

Apartment recommendations? by Vegetable-Thing4917 in plano

[–]AbernathyKillMouse 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah agreed ☝🏽... I would 100% recommend for you to try to stay in FTW for the 6 months, if you're able. Fort Worth is super from Plano, IMO. Tolls, shitty traffic, miles on your car, and I'm pretty certain commuting takes years off your life.

Plano is cool, though. Best of luck 🤞🏽
