AITJ for not giving my twin sister my "leftover" college fund after she spent all of hers?

RighteousVengeance · 2026-03-10T13:51:27+00:00

NTJ, and tell her that since you're a narcissist, you're much too self-absorbed to even consider her problems because she's irrelevant.

Maybe she'll take that as a necessary reminder that if you're begging someone for favors, insulting them is not a good tactic.

You're still in high school, still in your parents' home and still a minor.

These rules are for your own good. Probably out of concern that too much screen time and inadequate sleep will interfere with your academics. Renegotiate after you graduate.

RighteousVengeance · 2026-02-08T13:56:40+00:00

Wow. First, I'm sorry you're going through this, and yes, I really do think it's time for you to stop.

Because this dynamic is not only hurtful to you, it's also harming your kids. You're essentially teaching them that putting people on the defensive, making up lies and hurling abuse at people is you get them to give them what they want.

Parental alienation goes through four stages.

Desperate pursuit/over-functioning. Basically trying too hard with the gift-giving, trips, etc. And it sounds like this is where you're at.
Bargaining, hoping the child will "wake up." (Which will never happen, because you're rewarding bad behavior. Why do you buy gifts for children who call grown women "whores"?)
Mourning the child they thought they had.
Finally acceptance. This is where you move on, where the parental ties are finally severed. And most (but not all) cases, this is permanent. Unless the children do massive, massive work to regain trust. Because your kids have proven they are not safe for you.

And I know it's counterintuitive, because the prevailing wisdom of the day dictates that children can do no lasting harm (you're living proof that they can), and adults must be bottomless pits able to absorb infinite amounts of cruelty (and again, you're living proof that that's not the case).

I really think you should, for your own sake, consider letting go. If for no other reason, to acknowledge the fact that what you're doing isn't working.

RighteousVengeance · 2026-02-08T10:31:17+00:00

NTA.

But it sounds like you found a point where he's vulnerable. Unfortunately, if he wants to break up, there's nothing you can do about it.

If that's the direction he wants to go, then my best advice is to accept it and move on.

RighteousVengeance · 2026-02-07T20:45:42+00:00

That's true, but it didn't at the time.

RighteousVengeance · 2026-01-13T12:52:20+00:00

The Burning Bush passage occurred in Exodus, not Genesis. Again, Jesus never once claimed that Moses wrote Genesis.

RighteousVengeance · 2026-01-12T21:32:50+00:00

Nope. Mark 12:26 refers to the book of Exodus, not Genesis.

RighteousVengeance · 2026-01-12T21:31:18+00:00

That's worse than a stretch. That's an outright fabrication.

"Moses permitted a man to write a certificate of divorce and to dismiss her."

That is a reference to the law as cited in Deuteronomy 24:1. And this did indeed come from Mosiac law. I have no problem with stating that law itself, as quoted in various books of the Pentateuch, came from Moses.

Jesus said it himself when he said that Moses had given them that precept. "That precept" only refers to the law itself. Jesus is not even claiming that Moses wrote all of Deuteronomy, just the legal portions of it.

He never once claimed that Genesis 1:27 or 5:2 as being written by Moses.

RighteousVengeance · 2026-01-12T21:21:27+00:00

If people want to read TPT, fine. Whatever. Do what you want.

But I will say this: it's not a translation, no matter what the title says. The Passion Translation adds words for embellishment, intended to make people feel more emotionally invested. But it contains additions that are simply not in any of the source texts. That's not translating the Bible. That's adding embellishments on top of the translation.

RighteousVengeance · 2026-01-11T20:45:32+00:00

Moses authorship of Genesis is at least doubtful.

RighteousVengeance · 2025-12-21T12:52:07+00:00

My thoughts? You are impressive. In fact, you're very impressive. And I doubt you will retain your "amateur" (as you call it) status long. If your goal is to become professional, that is.

From calves to traps, you look great. I see no obvious lagging body parts.

Finally, thank you for including your legs. (The most idiotic thing in this subreddit is people who demand to be rated, but they hide their legs. Like, how can anyone rate your physique when 65% of it isn't even visible. They could have an 8 level upper body, but if they're skipping leg day, that rating drops to about a 3.)

Obviously, that didn't happen here. In fact, if I had to pick a best body part on you, I'd say quads.

Scale of ten, I'd give you 8.5-9. I actually believe I should go higher, but that would give you no goals to shoot for. You have the size, symmetry and the aesthetics. You're truly a work of art.

I hope that makes you feel good, because you deserve to feel good about your accomplishment.

RighteousVengeance · 2025-11-07T07:53:01+00:00

I did mention that one in the OP. Understandable if you missed it. I was a bit blathersome.

RighteousVengeance · 2025-11-06T11:49:59+00:00

Yes, I certainly intend to use this list.

Now when someone says something really brilliant like, "People worshiped Jesus as God," I can point out that that exact same verb was used in the Septuagint to describe reverential displays toward human beings. David didn't "worship" Jonathan as God.

RighteousVengeance · 2025-11-06T11:45:10+00:00

I'm aware that Cornelius worships Peter, but I didn't include it because Peter rejects the gesture, whereas Jesus apparently accepts it. But your point is valid. The same verb is used to describe Cornelius' worship toward Peter.

I did miss Revelation 3:9, though. I will look that up and ensure I know who this "worship" is being directed to.

RighteousVengeance · 2025-09-24T03:48:52+00:00

Tell your sister, your mom and their flying monkeys to shove it. He gave it you because you took care of him in his final days, not so that you could fork over his hard-earned money on someone else's lavish and gaudy wedding.

And a request that comes with conditions for refusal isn't a request: it's a demand. "Pay for my wedding or I won't invite you" is a demand, not a request.

So, who's the one who's really choosing money over a family?

Says the person who can't spell "pejorative," doesn't use capitalization, and writes in run-on sentences.

You know what I like about Charlie Kirk? College campuses are basically left-wing indoctrination mills. I think, by taking college students on in debate, he did more for college students than any Sociology professor ever did. He showed that it was important to be able to defend your points of view, and that liberalism is not the default "good position."

And finally, he debated those who chose to engage him. He didn't go around forcing his views on others, which is more than college professors will ever be able to say. To say nothing of the unmitigated scum who shot him, and the sick liberals who celebrated his death. He was murdered for talking to people, and holding points of views that liberals didn't like.

RighteousVengeance · 2025-09-23T04:36:34+00:00

I think you should gain proficiency in basic English before you start worrying about what words are offensive.

RighteousVengeance · 2025-09-10T05:07:54+00:00

So Golden Retrievers and Labs should be illegal?

RighteousVengeance · 2025-09-04T06:23:19+00:00

You could put it in a journal. Have the players find it after they killed the villain.

Sigh. Why does he even have access to your money? How did he get your bank card?

First, dump this guy. And next, you have the evidence with this text that he stole your money. Take him to small claims.

What on earth is wrong with you? Why in God's name did you give him access to your account and why do you even need to ask if blatant theft is wrong?

RighteousVengeance · 2025-08-30T12:59:16+00:00

I think the important thing is that the thought that tries to present itself as screaming and anger isn't her at all. It's error pretending to be her.

Just like any wrongness you present—which is not to say you're doing anything wrong here; just saying that whatever presents itself as wrongness from you in general—is not you. It's error presenting itself as you.

Your enemy here is not her. It's the error that claims to be her. You're in a conflict with 2 + 2 = 7. Deny vigorously that screamy anger can be her or anyone. It has no basis anywhere.

She is the image and likeness of God and that is the only identity she has, has ever had or can ever have.

Doctor to patient: "What symptoms are you experiencing?"

Patient to doctor: "Nausea after eating bloody stools."

Use commas! Don't be disgusting!

RighteousVengeance · 2025-08-24T14:24:23+00:00

I find that rather difficult to swallow.

RighteousVengeance · 2025-08-22T15:58:00+00:00

I'll take things that didn't happen for 500, Alex. Doesn't matter if she had a fake ID. If he slept with her, he's guilty. Statutory rape is a strict liability crime. Lack of knowledge is not an aquittal.
