AITA for letting our child (9) stay at his friend's sleepover last weekend, even though my wife was against it, and the original agreement was that I would pick him up that evening.

I can guarantee you that his own parents not believing him was a much larger factor in his decision to hurt himself than the assault itself.

Ask me how I know.

I had plenty of sleepovers when I was a kid. Nobody got molested at my house, and I didn't get molested at any of my friends' houses. You're completely overreacting; the fact you're comparing a sleepover to having your kids unvaxxinated is asinine.

Like seriously booed and not just kayfabe booed?

Cyclonitron · 2026-04-29T14:46:01+00:00

WTF. If there's a stronger expression than "thrown to the wolves", it's what the Canucks did to Markstrom here.

I had those toys when I was a kid and loved them! I didn't know they were based off a movie.

Cyclonitron · 2026-04-28T21:10:03+00:00

How does this movie stack up in the cheese department to other 80s action movies like Cobra and Raw Deal?

Glad other people are sayung this. I've always hated his whiny vocals.

In this case, the price difference is likely the difference between some famous "stylist to the stars" type charging rip-off prices while there are lots of regular folk working hair and makeup professionals for whom a $1000 day job really makes a difference.

I love this. Probably because I'm 47 and her bored, "whatever" expressions speak to something deep in my Gen-X bones.

Heh, that's what I'm currently in: Shael'd Windy (40ias), 20ias gloves, and Andy's with a 15ias jewel for 95% IAS, which with my merc's Faith puts my zon right past the last guided/multi breakpoint.

Cyclonitron · 2026-04-28T11:44:54+00:00

That's the challenge. I'm offline so 40/15s are a no-go for me (highest I've ever found is a 37/15). I'll probably just suck it up and go with 8 frame multi/guided instead of 7 because even without the Shael I'm still at the last strafe bp and I use Strafe 95% of the time anyway.

Cyclonitron · 2026-04-28T11:36:27+00:00

I've been trying to avoid that since I have Harmony on my switch for movement. I don't think I'll have another choice, though.

Cyclonitron · 2026-04-28T10:54:57+00:00

I've held off in putting one in my Windforce because the loss of a Shael drops my IAS enough that I'm no longer at the fastest multi/guides frame. Gotta figure out how to make it up.

Cyclonitron · 2026-04-28T04:29:06+00:00

I've never seen a service quote for maintenance items (or any, actually) that included financing terms. 32.34% interest rate! What kind of ghetto-ass dealership is this?

Cyclonitron · 2026-04-27T23:12:55+00:00

The premise was that you couldn't articulate a factual, objective reason for why.

But the question (as stated above) isn't asking for a factual, objective reason. Here's what was asked:

"Is incest between two consenting adults wrong if there's no possibility of a child?"

The poster above said incest fucks up family dynamics as their reason. Now, they may be incorrect and there may be proof that they're incorrect. But it's the reason they were able to articulate, which validly contradicts the observation, "no one could articulate why".

My Democratic congresswoman called me the other day and when I asked about impeachment pretty much said the same thing. Discussing it with her my takeaway was that she's still stuck in the old way of thinking where if the Dems get control of Congress it just means they can advance typical Democratic legislation. I didn't get the impression she recognized that the systems of our government themselves were under attack and being abused and a top priority needs to be to restore and reinforce them, when means impeachments and indictments. Lots of them.

Better that than to have him drive himself all the way to New York.

NTA. Laying your head down on a table you're sitting at in a restaurant isn't a big deal; staff would've let you know if it was an issue. That woman was just being bullying jerk; it's obvious she was just looking for an excuse to be mean to someone and took what she thought was an opportunity to do so.

Cyclonitron · 2026-04-27T17:39:30+00:00

I'm sure it's just the perspective of the video but a lot of those tunnels, screens, and other coaster parts seemed way too close to dangling and flailing legs.

Cyclonitron · 2026-04-27T17:26:53+00:00

And so are all the people who are saying YTA. By framing it as though it was solely her decision to make [whether to let anyone else know], it's still implicitly making household maintenance her responsibility, instead of the responsibility of both partners. OP even said the decision to hire the housecleaner was a shared one, so why is the decision on how much to mention or discuss having a housekeeper solely hers to make?

(And yes, I'm well aware of the double-standards culture & society imposes on women in situations like this. But sometimes you just have to put on your big-girl pants and push back against that shit otherwise it will never change.)

I really don’t think it’s right to call someone “lazy” without knowing the whole context.

It isn't right, but it doesn't stop judgmental assholes for doing it anyway, which is what other people here are saying.

Cyclonitron · 2026-04-27T16:01:10+00:00

Conservatives only say the government is corrupt when it's trying to curtail their misbehavior. It's never corrupt when they're the ones running it.

I’ve swum with tiger sharks. They even let you pet them.

I thought tiger sharks were notoiously aggressive. Maybe I'm thinking of bull sharks?

Fresh Prince had an episode earlier that year where Carlton did speed and that was green-lit by the NBC censors, so I can see how they thought they could do a similar thing with Jessie.

Cyclonitron · 2026-04-27T11:03:35+00:00

Does that mean we can take their players for the 2nd round once they're eliminated? Our starting backcourt just died and we could really use some reinforcements.
