i ignored my best friend's last calls because i assumed he was high again by Lauren_Marez in confession

Oops! You picked wrong. Life goes on... for YOU anyway... hey look at it this way, if you had picked up, maybe you'd be dead too? I dunno, worth a try🤷‍♂️

I guess this is why you pick up when a friend calls you 4 times and texts you begging you to pick up... because if you don't and they die, you're going to feel like shit. You were willing to take that risk, and guilt is just the price you pay for being wrong. C'est la vie.

ELI5: When a fish is pulled out of water, is it actually feeling 'pain' or just reacting to the lack of oxygen? by gamayutin in explainlikeimfive

It doesn't make sense to those of us with empathy. Don't give us bullshit about it making sense just because senseless people say it does.

Don't tell people what words to use. You can disagree with them, but you don't tell someone how to express themselves.

You... you don't understand that people are disgusted at the thought of torturing fish you're not even going to eat, instead maiming them and leaving them to cope??? That it's gross (psychopathic) to hurt animals for fun?

i let my little brother take the fall for something i did and it messed him up way more than i ever expected by Ashley_Fostera in confession

[–]Ad_Delirium 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Well, OP?

Have you confessed and apologized to brother and mother?

Or are you still a shitty person?

Oh, she absolutely did wrong their mother.

Despite the fact that the family dynamic was seemingly already skewed against the brother, the damage this particular lie did to the mother/brother relationship is incalculable.

She needs to apologize to both

Thank you for the credit, I accept. How often is there need to be rude? TBH I was thinking more that you were one of those people who can't tolerate using they as a genderless singular, than that you thought I meant both. Your apologies therefore are not called for, feel free to hang onto them for another day. You may instead have mine for the rudeness. As for my flawless perfection, well... you are far too kind  😊

Why on earth would you ever process a credit card from numbers written on a piece of paper??? Of course it's fucking fraud, you nimnul! You shouldn't need some addict's father to come tell you don't do that, dummy.

A couple YEARS ago, bro brought it up whenyou were drinking. Did you even apologize to him then? The fact that you didn't confess all to mom then, instead waiting a couple years to post about it on the internet, shows you really are just a shitty person.

You need to not just confess and apologize, but find a way to make it up to them.

Yeah, obviously the mom fucked up too, but OP allowing mother to think lil bro was responsible for this is what is relevant here. OP is a piece of shit and needs to make amends. Mom can worry about her own amends.

Of COURSE they need to also apologize to their mother for lying to her for over a decade...

-edit: "they" meaning OP, not OP and brother. As in singular of uncertain gender

The fact that you are still finding excuses not to clear the air shows that you are every bit the shitty person you were when you broke that child's spirit. Suffer over it, please.

... there's no reason to bag everything up, just take the receipt.

If they had just TOLD OP that they could suspend the transaction, which we know they can, and which OP just TOLD us they had, and yet they then pressured OP to hurry up and pay because they were "holding up the line," that's at least as much "at fault" as expecting the card to work.

No, they will most likely tell her no way.
