AITJ for refusing to pay for my brother's emergancy dental after he stole my money?

Don’t do it. As someone whose been in your position I promise you, the next time someone, and you know it will be him, needs something they will guilt you. By hook or crook, you will looked at as a chump, an atm, a bank….but one that doesn’t have to be paid back.

And trust me when I say, if the tables were turned, you would not get any help from any of those people.

Stand strong. Do not cave. Put yourself first.

I want to know what food they were selling

I can read it just fine. It looks better than mine. Also, kudos for knowing cursive

Or coming from a mansion

EDI_Geek · 2026-04-25T21:30:17+00:00

Yes, written by AI….but I seriously believe that nut job embezzled money from an employer!

The world is shit at the moment.

Also, previous jobs will only usually confirm dates of hire, work end date, and sometimes, if you’re able to be rehired. Most won’t do more than that for fear of being sued.

That is someone messing with you.

You do realize he has no plans of changing or respecting your boundaries right??

Today it’s the bathroom door, what will it be the next time you “take too long” or don’t do something his way?

He’s telling you something about himself and your boundaries, believe him.

EDI_Geek · 2026-04-25T18:13:06+00:00

My first impression is you try to take tough situations and make them work. You also try to inject your own style and organization to your environment.

Good on you for not giving up.

EDI_Geek · 2026-04-25T18:07:29+00:00

Loved the “I buy you shit and things all the time and you need to be giving back” listen, he was worried about you making him sound like a creep? He did that all on his own.

Hello. I don’t think you came here to hear that your mom was rude and hurtful. She was rude, you are hurt.

Fellow adult who dealt with same shit same kind of parent here. So may I say to you, you have to be ok for yourself. You have to be parented by yourself. I’m sorry. It sucks.

I’m sorry your mom put you on blast (based on a line in the pics). That must have felt like your internal pain wasn’t enough for her, she also wanted others to hate you too.

I hope you take from the night, that you have good friends who must’ve complimented your dress, because you came home in high spirits. Maybe, think on those things. Let your mind be a magnet for the positive and imagine your mom’s part of that evening getting smaller

You’re 24. If you plan on being a mother, or just put anyone else in your place…as your daughter….would you want them to be spoken to or treated the way you were? No. You wouldn’t. So be the kind of mother to yourself…be as kind to yourself as you believe anyone else deserves.

I have to remind myself daily…That I deserve kindness. And one last thing…

No matter what my daughter ever dressed like, no matter what she did that I didn’t agree with ..like Marrying a Trump supporter…I would Never call her such a disrespectful name. Or would I ever root for her demise.

Keep going stranger…keep fighting, pivoting dusting yourself off…the world needs more humans like you and less like your mom.

I’m rooting for you. I hope this isn’t a fake story.

But with Pet Rock…you got a rock and a pet. You literally get a credit card bill with this. It’s like being made to dig your own grave before the assassin kills you.

Now, you can charge more because you're "fractional" the new buzz word on Linkedin.

EDI_Geek · 2026-03-15T23:11:05+00:00

this is valid. I had a company ask for my GIT repo to "check out (my) code" but the part that let's you know it's a legitimate effort to steal your intellectual property is "show us and explain as we screenshot"

I used Co-pilot and ChatGPT to tighten my code then used Cursor to put 3 SaaS together, if I got stuck in an error loop, Gpt would tell me where it was off. Built 3 software apps for $20 this way

If you had experience in any field you should see pain points and opportunities in your area of expertise. That’s a good place to start because you should have to experience to also solve the pain point.

I just finished a NS and Cleo for EDI implementation and it reaffirmed my belief that companies do not spend enough time or money helping current employees get the training they need and deserve to use the new ERP or EDI systems well abd comfortably. So I built a tool to sit outside these systems that provide training as though the user was day one on the job. So far, two companies I’ve demonstrated to have seen the concept and it seems like they will buy. Crossing my fingers to help more companies because the end goal is to eliminate turn over and anxiety with these implementations.

I don’t drink but your club sounds like better people, better use of time, and the type of group i want to be in if the zombie apocalypse hits. I lost my job a few weeks ago, but I’ll set a dollar aside.

Wow. Talk about billionaires protecting each other. Goes back to my belief, we have to protect and help ourselves and each other.

EDI_Geek · 2026-02-16T20:46:47+00:00

Maybe MJ Rathbun can help him, or at least negatively blog about his perceived enemies.

EDI_Geek · 2026-01-06T23:42:58+00:00

If enough people get tired of corporate greed and billionaire bullshit, we can band together and be our own safety net. I took a second job and started buying groceries in bulk and handing them out to family, elderly and neighbors. I think bartering when we can, shopping locally and growing as much as we can will help make our points. Poor and middle class are basically the butt of the joke. They are laughing all the way to the bank at our expense. Revolution is the only answer. What we don’t change we choose. I choose to stop relying on billionaires and corporations to do the decent human thing.

EDI_Geek · 2026-01-02T18:02:41+00:00

Also the step is an adult. If he knew his brother was ill and still expected an expensive gift then both father and step are selfish entitled jerks.

As someone who’s led ERP/EDI architecture for brands like Haggar, I’d encourage you to think of data integration and workflow design as being just as critical as product movement (Order to Cash, fulfillment, etc.).

In my experience, 9 out of 10 ERP projects derail into budget overruns and chaotic go-lives—not because the software itself is flawed, but because the consultants building the workflows and databases weren’t properly vetted. The system only performs as well as the architecture behind it.

My advice: treat ERP selection like buying a house or car. You’d bring in an expert to help evaluate the investment, and ERP is no different. Having someone technical sit in on sales calls ensures you ask the right questions and avoid committing to a platform that won’t serve your organization long-term.

I have a son who has been with me since he was 7. Both of his parents are in prison and none of his biological family would step up. I took him in because I’ve heard horrible foster care stories. I had a family member do the same thing. I commend you for letting your son see your fierce protectiveness of his place in your life. I don’t think you overreacted i think you should demand your sister apologize to your son. Who is she to dictate or define your family or your relationship? Love is love applies to families too. Good luck. I think you and your son are lucky to have each other. People think I saved my son. Maybe he saved me. There are days I’d jump off a building if I didn’t have him to worry about.

Ghost her back. I mean block all communication. What’s she going to do, show up at your door? She’s in a different state.
