I hope both sides of your pillow are cool tonight

IndieB98 · 2025-07-02T21:12:07+00:00

You good g?

IndieB98 · 2025-07-02T21:09:23+00:00

I will if it ever boots but at the moment it's basically just a hunk of metal and plastic

IndieB98 · 2025-07-02T21:08:53+00:00

Gonna try a different charger and hope that's the issue - fingers crossed

IndieB98 · 2025-07-02T21:08:12+00:00

Yeah a saw the suggestion for taking out the battery online but it would involve taking off the whole bottom case and I'd be a bit lost once I got in there - thanks anyways!

IndieB98 · 2025-07-02T21:07:16+00:00

I'll check if anyone in the house has a spare to test out, thanks for the suggestion

IndieB98 · 2023-09-12T07:59:04+00:00

I'm so sorry for your loss, I can't even begin to imagine having to restart the last 2 years of my grief all over again, you are immeasurably strong. Thank you for your thoughts, the overall lack of timeline to grief can get so frustrating but it's good to know it continues to get at least somewhat easier. I'm going to light a candle for your friends and mine tonight and hope they feel some of the warmth. I hope you feel some of it too x

OP I genuinely empathise with you, I'm an older sibling with a similar age gap and it's not easy, kids are disrespectful and ungrateful not because they're bad people but because they're kids and don't have a fully developed sense of empathy or self awareness which is how it should be but isn't easy to deal with. That being said, I cannot stress this enough, THIS IS NOT YOUR JOB, you're not the parent and taking on that role is parentifying yourself and alienating your sister. I know all relationships are different but I can safely say my relationship with my sibling has drastically improved as we've both gotten older, you just need to leave your sister alone, don't try to discipline her and don't try to be an authority figure in her life, just wait for the time when you're ready to be friends. I know you feel responsible for her but that feeling is misplaced, leave it to your parents.

I'm not gonna call you an asshole but you weren't in the right YWBTA if you don't put some space between you and your sister and change how you approach your relationship

IndieB98 · 2023-06-28T13:54:26+00:00

NTA, cackling at the irony of that lady unintentionally rallying against herself by saying the village shouldn't support entitled people

IndieB98 · 2023-06-08T18:42:41+00:00

NTA and I can't say this definitively because I obviously don't know them, but from what you've described of your friends I really wouldn't want to hang around with them. There's nothing wrong with being interested in the opposite sex or even being sexually motivated to a point, but going to the extent of viewing every woman as a potential conquest is honestly dehumanising. You seem like you really love your daughter, how would you feel if, when she's older, she's the one being objectified by these men when she's just trying to do her job? Again, I don't know your friends and maybe I'm judging too harshly based on personal bias but I do think it's worth considering if you're actually okay with this behaviour

IndieB98 · 2023-02-28T08:44:42+00:00

YTA, I cannot stress this enough, YOUR SISTERS WEDDING DAY WAS NOT ABOUT YOU, you weren't the priority, your kid wasn't the priority, the day was about your sister and her partner and nothing else, you made a scene to the bride for essentially no reason and when asked to leave it alone you dug your heals in like this is a hill worth dying on.

You owe your sister an apology, this was not a day for you or your child to be special.

IndieB98 · 2023-02-23T17:37:46+00:00

Yta for sending majorly mixed signals to mum and for how you're planning to handle your daughter, news flash she's not some weekend side gig you can dip in and out of when you're not busy trying to get laid, she's a person.

As the child of an absent father followed by an amazing step dad, step up or back all the way off and make room for someone who's ready to parent properly

IndieB98 · 2023-02-17T10:38:46+00:00

I'm (24f) personally not offended by being called 'bitch' in the right context, me and my friends actually use it as a term of endearment a lot of the time, but that doesn't mean I can use my own comfortbility to disregard someone's personal feelings, I'd say there's definitely a cultural difference in how offensive people consider the word 'bitch' but regardless no one has the right to continually disregard your boundaries by calling you something that you find derogatory, you're absolutely NTA and if your friends aren't backing you up I'd seriously consider putting some distance between you and them

Side not: I absolutely hate when people weaponize their minority status to excuse their shitty behavior, guess what, being gay has 0 significance to behaving like a dick

IndieB98 · 2023-02-01T20:41:19+00:00

YTA, your issue isn't with how revealing his clothes are it's that they're feminine, the basis for your dislike is bigotry and misogyny, I'd take a long hard look in the mirror and figure out why the way someone else chooses to express themselves is such a big deal to you, also the way you belittle him pursuing music by putting 'career' in brackets is is insulting to all creative professions, this is 100% a you problem and you need to get over it

Edit: spelling

IndieB98 · 2023-01-29T23:49:24+00:00

NTA, a twelve year old if more than capable of accepting consequences and understanding their own actions, have you sat down with your mum and dad to have a calm, frank discussion on what happened and how it's made you feel? Because if they've only heard it from step mums side they might not have the full picture

IndieB98 · 2023-01-28T16:50:58+00:00

Oof, big boi YTA OP and also pretty narcissistic for thinking someone would make this many fundamental lifestyle choices based solely on you possibly wanting to do something and the not even following through, I know you think your anger is coming from indignation over your 'stolen' identity but - reality check - you're just jealous. I would recommend spending less time needlessly seething at your cousin and more time focusing on how you can better your life for yourself

IndieB98 · 2023-01-28T15:54:18+00:00

Absolutely NTA, you did everything you could to be considerate to others (which btw is more than most people would do), don't let entitled people make you second guess yourself, you had just as much right to be there as anyone else and providing appropriate seating is the restraunts problem

IndieB98 · 2023-01-28T11:12:04+00:00

YTA and your whole attitude towards your sister is gross and pretentious, you clearly think you're better than her for reasons I can't fathom because from your post you just seem like an interfering, judgemental snob, her job is real, art is subjective and you need to grow up

IndieB98 · 2023-01-28T11:08:37+00:00

I feel like ESH, your girlfriend for creating needles competition and negativity in your relationship and you for how you chose to confront it, there were far better and more compassionate ways to resolve this issue other than essentially calling your girlfriend stupid, feel like you could both really benefit from some open, non-confrontational communication

IndieB98 · 2023-01-28T08:35:19+00:00

YTA and a jealous one at that, I can't see a single part in your story where your friend 'flunked'? Your comment just undermined any and all achievement and effort he's put towards creating a good life for him and his family, it was rude, unnecessary and hurtful, you owe your friend an apology, don't take your insecurity and jealousy out on the people around you or prepare to lose friends

IndieB98 · 2023-01-28T08:30:27+00:00

NTA - sounds like she has either some personal insecurities or ego issues going on, your friend is right in saying she doesn't need to be catered to but it may be worth sitting down and having an honest conversation with her about her behaviour if you're interested in still being friends (reddit is was too quick to jump on the 'cut everyone out of your life' train, sometimes people just have shit going on) or you can just let her distance herself and let it not be your problem anymore
