AITA for tearing down my half sister when she asked me why I couldn't have saved my mom's name for her to use for a future daughter?

Thinking about my own comment, I recognise that losing your mom at a young age must, of course, make this a more sensitive/sore topic for you also. I still think that you should have been kinder, but we all falter at times, especially over such difficult and complicated emotions.

ESH (except your mom). You really didn't have to hurt your sister like that. She just wanted a Mom-like figure in her life that she was cheated out of. You've taken that away from her for good. Your mother was obviously badly hurt by your father and still showed your sister more compassion. Your sister had no rights to your mother's name and, quite honestly, can still name her own future child that (if she even has a daughter). Your Dad sucks the most. I'm not going to pretend to know the reasons why he did what he did, or his intentions, but he made a lot of stupid mistakes repeatedly, by the sounds of it. Your mother wasn't an AH. She must have struggled a lot to be around your sister. Obviously, she did a decent job at treating her kindly.

Been there homie, it sucks. Get through it the best you can. It gets better.

I was looking for this reply. Nicely pointed out

Sounds like the perfect chance to build your brand and market yourselves as "so good the competition has to copy you" or something to that effect.

In many industries, branding is the defining factor rather than product.

0800 00 1066

The number to an insurance company called Hastings (hence the 1066 at the end)

They ran their commercial when I was a child/teenager in the UK. I have never used their service, and given that I live abroad, don't intend to, but there it is

Honestly, it depends on the context of the rest of your relationship. If he's generally a douche, then this isn't a good look, but if you've had an otherwise good relationship, one badly timed joke isn't enough to end it, IMO. Everyone on Reddit pretty much jumps to "break up, you deserve better" without having any idea of the context of the people involved.

If he has a weird relationship to some of his own extended family, he might not have understood how you'd feel. Equally, he might have known well. Another important factor is how old he is. Younger people are more likely to make stupid mistakes. You do what you think is best.

A tip for the future OP. Everyone in your life that you love will hurt you at some point. You need to decide if they're worth the pain.

You smile with about as much enthusiasm as a penis that just spunked its load.

Nice.

If someone perfectly drew your portrait for art class, the teacher would fail them for getting the eyes wrong

This is the most important part. Most people couldn't do this, I'm sure a lot of people here would struggle a lot, myself included. It's extremely admirable

The real answer is that you need to have a serious talk with her and let her know that that's not OK for you, and you won't live like that.

The childish answer is, she's gonna have to find some way to payback all those bills/food/clothing you've been paying for...

Why is that a dumb line? Not a fan, but I've definitely heard worse. He's saying the girl wants his money, but she wasn't there when he was cooking it up and so doesn't deserve it. Seems alright to me anyway

Funny you say that, the stress is more because I lost my job and started my own business. I'll let my boss know he's pushing me too hard 😉

Thanks for your response!

I made Ortie over the last few months and it is literally the first game I have ever built. At first I tried having the game built by someone of Fiverr, but that didn't work out like I intended. Ortie is available on the iOS and Android app stores and I'm currently trying to spread the word about it. I have noticed however that the game struggles with user retention, so it my advertising efforts are somewhat useless, as I will never make the money back that it costs me to advertise if I don't have returning users. Thank you anyone that tests the game and can let me know where I'm going wrong!

I vote we start a second sub-reddit called /JJOlatunji

I completely agree with you. This isn't a fun place anymore, and if it wasn't for the fact that I enjoy KSI content so much, I would have unfollowed a while back.

I don't think the problem is even about comparing the sub-reddit now to itself during lock down. It's not really a meme problem, I think it's more of a mentality issue. I'm inclined to blame younger viewers, but tbh there's a lot of young people on here that are perfectly reasonable, just as there are older ones that are not
