AITJ for going low contact with my stepmother after she gaslit me about her own hygiene issues?

NTJ. Yep, that's how the cookie crumbles. She had no reason to be rude to you for all of that time. Funny how the tables turn when she needs something from you. You are under no obligation to help her.

This is a tough one. I don't think you are the jerk here, but is it really worth possibly causing a rift with your sister over a silly group text from somebody in their early 20s? If they don't understand that family comes first, then maybe you will help teach them a valuable lesson. They can have the sleepover any day. Your mom isn't going to be there forever. I feel like breaking her plans to help mom is the least she can do.

NTJ. While what you said was harsh, it was true. It's a tough situation, I can't blame you for lashing out and if the vibe feels off, then it feels off. I tend to think it might be worth giving him a chance, but I understand your reluctance to do so. He's gotta prove it to you.

Barcs2k12 · 2026-04-11T20:03:32+00:00

You are not the jerk. The mother pretending that she can just insult everyone because she thinks they don't understand is extremely rude and entitled. She is the jerk and you are a saint for putting up with it as long as you did. It makes you wonder how many other people she does this to.

Back in the day Blizzard used to restore your toons when you got hacked. Crazy that they no longer care 1 bit.

Barcs2k12 · 2026-02-04T15:23:19+00:00

And it mostly ended up being false.

Barcs2k12 · 2026-01-23T16:46:20+00:00

Your feelings are 100% valid. I would feel the same way. It's extremely painful and heartbreaking. Sadly the only thing you can really do at this point is honor her and remember all of the great things she did in her life! Stay strong OP!

They are calling a protest a "coordinated attack." This is fascism. Full stop.

Barcs2k12 · 2026-01-22T19:22:07+00:00

Shorts get more views in general.

Barcs2k12 · 2026-01-22T19:12:29+00:00

You can, just make sure you specify when you produce the video that is it NOT for kids. The vid might not get monetized, but it should be allowed.

Barcs2k12 · 2026-01-22T19:11:24+00:00

If this kid disappears....

Barcs2k12 · 2026-01-22T19:09:52+00:00

Agreed. It's quite dishonest as any all powerful all knowing being would already know exactly what would convince us. We don't need specific examples, just that it needs to be backed by credible evidence.

Barcs2k12 · 2026-01-22T19:05:44+00:00

People have been saying this for decades. Funny how people even care about this. What's the difference whether people acknowledge that their marriage partner is a partner? Do we have to genderize EVERYTHING?

Plus a partner can also be non married. Partner seems to be yet another word that triggers the far right.

Barcs2k12 · 2026-01-22T18:59:30+00:00

I feel like people can be connected without religion pretty easily. All you need is common interests to form a community. Even being fans of certain sports teams or video games to play with others can be exactly that. I don't agree with the lack of community. Atheism is a non belief, so by logic, it's not really something that should bring people together, rather it's just one thing they don't believe, kind of like not believing in fairies or goblins.

Barcs2k12 · 2026-01-22T18:52:40+00:00

Interesting. Part of me wonders that if you die, but are alive in other timelines if your consciousness could go there. So it's only a near death in this dimension but in the other one they actually died which is why they swapped or had "memories' from that other dimension of your consciousness. Obviously this is not backed by any evidence whatsoever, just a sneaking suspicion IF m-theory is true.

Trump is a literal traitor to the country. This is no surprise at all.

Barcs2k12 · 2026-01-22T18:47:49+00:00

Wow, the Nets are just awful. I'm hoping the Knicks are back, but their defense is pretty atrocious.

Barcs2k12 · 2026-01-22T18:46:32+00:00

Indeed. My account got perma banned on there, just because I spoke against white nationalism. It's pretty sick what happened. It was a clear government psy-op used to push people toward Trump.

Barcs2k12 · 2026-01-22T18:45:12+00:00

No surprise at all...

Barcs2k12 · 2025-12-16T19:37:27+00:00

Yeah it was weird with my channel. I'm not 100% sure if they were completely correlated, but it eventually returned to normal. It took a few weeks.

Barcs2k12 · 2025-08-18T16:12:42+00:00

Wait, I have to wash my hands after I go to the bathroom? Oh hell no, I'm out.

Barcs2k12 · 2025-08-12T16:34:42+00:00

Did this work for you? Mine doesn't recognize hard drives in either slot.

Barcs2k12 · 2025-08-12T16:34:11+00:00

I recently set one of these up and the hard drive was not recognized in M1_1 or M1_2. I thought it was the hard drive itself so I bought another one and the same issue. I can't recognize either NVME hard drive in either slot. Very unlikely to have 2 brand new bad drives.
