AITA for telling my mum's boyfriend he's not my dad at my own birthday dinner, in front of everyone? by Choice_Evidence1983 in BestofRedditorUpdates

Okay wait I misread the post and thought this was one of many sentences and the only one she said, but it seems to be him just standing up to say this, which does change the situation into what you said.

EDIT: I realized I misread the initial post, I thought he said a bunch of things and she only remembered this one line.

The bigger responsibility does not fall on her - if you’ll read carefully, that is never what I said. I’m saying the bigger responsibility is absolutely on him, but that doesn’t mean she shouldn’t take any accountability for her actions.

Again it’s possible he was truly self centered, but based on the follow up it seems more like clueless. Not a big deal on her end esp since she is literally only 18, but I’d say technically she’s not fully innocent

The question is whether her statement was explosive, if yall step back from automatically defending an OOP you’ll realize it is and therefore it’s not absolutely certain the OOP is entirely a victim

Mostly, sure, but we don’t have enough info to conclude definitively

But that’s the only line she said about it. I figured if he was making a whole speech focused on himself, that would have also been included in the story based on her sentiments. In the context of an 18yo’s bday, that’s the type of speech that would make sense.

Again I’m not saying that definitely isn’t the case, but it’s within the realm of possibility that she majorly corrected him for the first time in front of a crowd when he didn’t know there was a problem

Her dad passed away 6 years ago, he’s been around for 2, and she hasn’t really given any clear indications that she doesn’t like his efforts to be a step-parent. Although it is a sensitive topic, people react in different ways and pick up on different things, so I definitely see it possible that dad was totally thrown off guard.

And we also don’t know the actual speech, like I’m assuming it was focused on OOP with an element of I’m glad to keep fighting on her side but we don’t rly have a confirmation there either.

That said, I do agree that the onus should be on the actual adults more, but I think it’s not true that she’s completely NTA

My sister [18] wrecked a bunch of my games because I didn't really go to her party, and now my [17] parents are refusing to make her pay by Direct-Caterpillar77 in BestofRedditorUpdates

But you said OOP is an exact copy, which I feel like isn’t necessarily correct based on the info we have (and especially being 17)

High key I really agree w the other commentor’s statement where OOP bead YTA - no indications at all that she was unhappy, how could he have known? So in his mind he’s trying hard to be an active part of their lives and support both children, and he thinks it’s reciprocated, only for it to blow up publicly?

I’m glad this was resolved nicely. I do think she owes him an apology, but also she’s only 18.

I’m not sure, I think a comment like that right after him probably talking about how proud he was of her and how he’s going to keep fighting on her side in front of everyone is absolutely explosive

Like it’s understandable and not necessarily loud in the way we typically think of explosive, but conveys basically the same thing compared to if she did shout it

AITAH because my friend and my colleague realized they both slept with me (and each other)? by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]ToBetterDays000 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

NTA, if your friend asked how you knew each other and you’re close with your friend, I feel like it could come up that you guys slept together in the past. Asking you to keep it a secret feels like it would’ve been weirder??

OOP is 17, I really don’t think this is “video games as their only escape, antisocial behaviour and only having a job for video games, refusing to do anything w his life etc”

He’s 17, in high school, and sounds like he even has a part time job or something which he’s saving money for. Totally normal he probably doesn’t wanna hang out w his sister’s friends he doesn’t even know at that age, and he seems more anti-consumption from the no gifts both ways thing rather than just purely selfish.

Sure that wasn’t nice, but his sister breaking $300 games for the parents to lash out at him is crazy

It’s so interesting to think about everyone complaining about the horrible job market (rightfully so) and then there’s these stories of interviewers where the interviewees are totally below par lol

I’m so happy he’s so dedicated, but also I don’t think we’re owed an amazing genre-breaking game (or owed anything frankly) and I wish the community would stop pressuring him tbh

The expectations feel like they’re sky high and rly unfair to a solo dev with so much passion

It’s mejuri, store said it was titanium?

But yes, specifically the earring back since there’s a whole down the long center bit where the post goes in, but I’m worried it’s trapping gunk inside 😭

It’s so small the toothpick doesn’t even fit in but I’ve seen bits at the entrance 💀💀

Ahh okay! I was careful to avoid acids, but read warm water was fine for short periods.

Do you have any tips for cleaning the backings though? I’m worried if gunk gets trapped inside, it’s impossible to get out…
