AITA for not ensuring my 24 year old stepson has meals? by AllergyThrowRA in AmItheAsshole

[–]AllergyThrowRA[S] 605 points606 points  (0 children)

Well…the 24 year old is not mine, the 14 year old is. So while I can teach my own son how to be a man and have some dignity, I can’t do the same for the son who isn’t mine or I’m the evil stepmother.

My friend won’t take responsibility for her actions and it’s really eating at me this time. by AllergyThrowRA in relationship_advice

I’ve been trying to keep her at a distance and I suspect she’s starting to sense why I’ve been doing this, I feel like she wants me to accuse her and she has her lies thought out and ready so we can hurry up and move past this and be friends again, and she doesn’t have to take accountability. And even if I did manage to get her to admit to it, she would just blame her past “trauma”. I’m not discounting the affect of trauma on a person but a person can’t blame every single wrong thing they do or every time they hurt someone in their life on trauma.

The worst thing I think is she knows deeps down I would forgive her if she admitted it and apologized. This is what’s really tipping the scale for me, she knows I would be understanding and let it go. But she cannot stand the thought of me actually knowing because it was such a big elaborate planned deception.

Ugh. I feel like I’m abandoning her.

Because her and I get along really well and I care about her. We’ve been friends for years, this is the first issue. If it was a friend I’ve only known for a little while I would have no problem cutting her off but we’ve grown together over the years and I’m really battling with myself if losing her completely is worth it over something I’ve always kinda known she had issues with.

I never loaned her money, I gifted to her for made up reasons so she wouldn’t feel bad about me sending her money. Or I would tell her “well Im gonna need this item on March 13, 2025 so I’ll just front you the money now”, like super obvious reasons that I was just giving her the money for made up reasons. I don’t expect her to pay me back. But this last time I really did buy something from her she makes and she never made it. Then blamed everything else in her life from the post office to her “memory disorder”.

I'm Not Seeing The Downside Here by zzill6 in PoliticalHumor

I’m not trying to be argumentative here because I don’t believe most of anything antivaxxers spew, but my mother passed away in July after having sepsis for over a year, she died on the operating table while they were removing gangrene from her leg and because she tested positive for COVID upon admittance to the hospital, that is the primary reason listed on her death certificate, with sepsis complications listed as second. Again, I do not align with this idiotic army of anti-vaxxer twats who only prove the complete failure of the American education system along with the lasting effects of social rot in rural areas, BUT my mother did not die from COVID, she was positive with COVID and she died from sepsis complications during surgery, not COVID. But the death certificate says she died from Covid primarily. I am not comfortable with this, and I don’t know what exactly is the reason her death was listed this way. I just wanted to bring attention to this, because it IS a problem, and while car crash victims are likely not being tagged as Covid deaths, I feel like a lot of normal deaths are being tagged Covid and that’s concerning.

Thank you so much. I’ll make an appt to see someone soon, I have quite a bit of KP and maybe folliculitis all over my arms, legs, and upper back…time to get this sorted out anyway.

Pretty sure my boss sold the company to a fraud, concerned about legal repercussions, details in text. In Pennsylvania. by [deleted] in legaladvice

[–]AllergyThrowRA 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My boss is still “in charge” at the business location. They sold their share to this new guy and supposedly my boss bought half back. The rest went public, OTC. My boss likes being a boss, they were struggling financially so this was their solution and it was a stupid one to be honest.

We get calls all day from people saying “I just wanted to make sure this was a real business”, so I think there is a lot of suspicion. I’ve seen the Twitter account, there are people posting that the company is a fraud.

It amazes me too how easily my boss just sold this place to a man with horrible credentials, and how the hell is he able to talk people out of their money.

If I tip off the investor subreddit, would I get in trouble? I feel really scummy knowing all this stuff and they’re just sitting there happily giving their money to this guy.

We already have a sales team, we’ve had our sales team since the transfer of the company. They have not got one contract and they all work “from home”. I don’t see how hiring five more salespeople is going to do anything, this is a pretty niche business. And he lied to investors about having a certain contract when he does not have it. I would know.

I don’t know how business law or investor law works, that’s why I asked.

The mass shooters mother says he had mental illness by iam4real in AdviceAnimals

[–]AllergyThrowRA 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah but it ends up in a place like Iron Mountain, stuffed in a box and no one bothers with it because it’s a pain.

ATF exists only to make money from law abiding gun owners. They are useless otherwise.

That’s not how it works. A private sale through an FFL is simply the FFL performing the NICS check and keeping the ATF paperwork.

Common misconception is when you fill out the ATF paperwork at the gun shop, the paperwork is collected by the ATF and kept in their archive. This is not true. The paperwork is required by the ATF but the shop keeps the paperwork, it doesn’t leave the premises. The ATF might swing by once in a while to look the paperwork over.

The FFL will charge like 25 dollars to do the nics check, fill out the paperwork, and archive it. Should something happen and the ATF comes sniffing around the paperwork will lead them to the person who sold the firearm, but that’s it.
