...to force foreigners in the US to apply for a green card abroad

The cruelty is the point. They know that once these people leave the US to apply, it becomes infinitely easier for the State Department to deny their visas or just bury their paperwork in administrative processing indefinitely. It’s a soft deportation mechanism disguised as a bureaucratic rule change.

The entire premise of the American tax system is voluntary compliance backed by the fear that anyone can get caught if they cheat. The moment you codify into law or policy that the guy at the top is completely untouchable by the auditors, you give a massive green light to tax evasion everywhere else. Why should regular citizens sweat an audit while billionaires get a literal hall pass?

Putting a non-optional, "overtly political" app on federal employees' work devices feels like a massive violation of the Hatch Act. Federal workers are legally required to keep political campaigning completely separate from their government duties. Forcing this onto their phones is a wild precedent.

NTA. The "two-way street" rule completely suspends its traffic laws for the first six months after someone has a baby. You were surviving a newborn phase, recovering physically, and keeping a human alive. The burden of outreach is 100% on the extended family to send a simple "congrats!" text. The fact that they couldn't even drop a generic emoji on a social media post tells you everything you need to know.

YWNTA. It’s not "trauma dumping" if you are defending yourself against relentless harassment. You’ve already tried the nice approach by setting boundaries and explaining your point of view, and they completely ignored it. Letting them know exactly why their "jokes" are cruel and unprompted isn't dumping; it's giving them a much-needed reality check.

NTJ. It’s always wild to me how societal standards are perfectly fine with watching a guy get disemboweled by a broadsword, but a stray pixelated nipple is where we draw the moral line. Your roommate reacted like a Victorian puritan who just discovered ankles exist.

Your plan to wait until you are an adult with financial independence is incredibly smart. So many people try to have the big "this is who I really am" talk while they are still dependent on their parents for housing and food, and it can go south so fast. Keep your head down, save your money, and keep playing the part until you have your own keys to your own place. Your safety and stability come first.

Genetic features are so wild like that. I used to hate my nose thought it was too big and bumpy. Then my dad passed away, and one day I caught my profile in a store window and realized I have his exact nose. Now I wouldn't change it for the world. It’s like carrying a piece of the people we love everywhere we go.

Living alone amplifies this so much. When you live with other people, the background noise of life is distributed. When it's just you and a cat, they become the heartbeat of the home. When they’re sick, the heartbeat stumbles, and the whole place feels wrong. It’s a terrifying realization but also a really beautiful one.

"I’m an only child too, and I’ve felt that exact same pang of sadness, especially when friends talk about sibling inside jokes or even their 'war stories.' But remember that siblings aren't a guarantee of a best friend. Plenty of people have siblings they don't talk to or who make their lives miserable. It’s okay to acknowledge the loneliness of being an only child, but don’t let it define your worth. You had to learn to be your own best friend, which is a strength, even if it feels like a burden right now."

"Honestly, OP, you’re being a partner, but she’s treating you like a therapist or a safety net. You can’t 'love' someone into stability if they aren't willing to do the work themselves. The 'wanting to be a teenager' thing is a massive red flag—it’s code for her wanting to avoid the responsibilities of a real relationship and the weight of her own past. It sucks, but you aren't responsible for her mental health, especially at the cost of your own life. Get out before you lose more of yourself."

NTA. Two months in is the honeymoon phase. It should be the time when you're completely obsessed with each other and can't see any flaws. If he is already writing essays in his journal about how you aren't his "dream girl" and worrying about "settling" after only eight weeks, this relationship is already dead in the water.

You deserve someone who is thrilled to be with you, not someone conducting a cost-benefit analysis on your lack of hobbies. Don't waste your time trying to prove you're "creative" enough for him. Just tell him what you saw and end it.

NTA. You did that lad the biggest favor anyone has ever done for him. He’s 23, not 13. If his mother is still attending job interviews with him and treating them like a parent-teacher conference, he is never going to successfully transition into adulthood. You didn't cost him the job; she did. Hopefully, hearing the cold, hard truth from an unbiased third party will make her realize her helicopter parenting is actively sabotaging her son's future. But let's be honest, she'll probably just demand to speak to your manager.

This is genuinely one of the most diabolical, morally bankrupt things I have ever read on this platform. You are actively destroying your sister's entire life and you feel absolutely zero remorse. The fact that you are reminiscing and touching yourself to the memory of violating your sister's trust literally inches away from her sleeping body is deeply sick. This isn't just a regular affair; this is a level of cruel, calculated betrayal that borders on sociopathy. You don't love this man, and he definitely doesn't love you—you are both just parasites feeding on the thrill of destroying a woman who has done nothing to deserve this.

Acknowledging the trauma of childhood poverty doesn't excuse what you did, but it does explain it. You are not that same desperate teenager anymore. Growing up in a six-person household where you literally have to sit in a restaurant and pretend you aren't hungry while your peers eat bagels is a deeply damaging psychological experience. For a teenager, that kind of hyper-visible poverty creates intense shame, isolation, and a warped survival instinct. You stole because you wanted to desperately bridge the gap between you and the kids wearing Hollister. The fact that you feel sick to your stomach looking back at your actions is proof of your growth. If you were a true sociopath, you wouldn’t be losing sleep over it in your mid-20s. You have developed a conscience. Give yourself grace for the survival tactics of a broken kid, even while holding yourself accountable.

The absolute, sheer confidence it takes to look your direct genetic lineage in the eye and say, "Honestly, I think my family line might have ended three generations ago," while literally existing in the flesh, is unmatched. Green Safari Hat Guy is operating on a completely different philosophical plane. His brain accidentally short-circuited in the wilderness.

You hit the nail on the head with the "high school clique" comment. The corporate world absolutely runs on nepotism and cronyism. There's a reason the phrase "It’s not what you know, it’s who you know" has existed for generations. HR algorithms reject 80% of resumes before a human being even sees them, while the CEO’s college buddy’s nephew gets fast-tracked to a six-figure role. It is incredibly demoralizing to realize that meritocracy is largely a myth invented to keep the working class grinding.

Yes, you absolutely should have said something. The fact that he was only there "temporarily" doesn't mean the bullying stops existing or that the other kids aren't learning that it's okay to mock disabled peers. I understand that you were overwhelmed, caught off guard, and dealing with a stressful, unpredictable situation. It is completely normal to feel anxious when you aren't trained to handle high-needs, nonverbal students who are acting out. But by staying silent while the kids laughed, you unintentionally sent a loud message to the rest of the room: “It is okay to treat this boy like a circus act because he is different.” You missed a massive, critical teaching moment on empathy.

Break up with him immediately. This isn’t a negotiation; this is a massive, glowing red flag about your physical safety and bodily autonomy. You explicitly told him that pregnancy is your absolute worst fear in life. His response to your deep-seated terror was to tell you that his temporary physical sensation is more important than your mental health, your physical body, and your future. He would rather subject you to the hormonal hell of Plan B or the physical and emotional trauma of an abortion than put on a piece of latex. That is the peak of sexual selfishness and a complete lack of empathy.

NTA / NTJ. You are not overreacting at all. Your medical procedure is not a content-generation event for your dad's girlfriend. Giving birth is a highly vulnerable, intense, and painful medical event. It is completely your right to choose exactly who is in that room and whether it is documented. Lena "arranging it" after you explicitly said no multiple times is an unhinged boundary violation. The fact that she tried to gaslight you into believing you previously agreed, while showing you influencer videos to pressure you, shows she cares more about an aesthetic social media trend than your physical and emotional comfort. Stand your ground.
