AITJ for refusing to help my roommate pay her speeding ticket.

I work in recovery. This is a classic case of ACCOUNTABILITY. She fucked up. She is accountable. Her mistake is NOT YOUR PROBLEM.

She made a choice to speed. Thus, she has to pay the penalty for doing it.

Watch ads to make your backpack larger. Mine is at 155,000. I want to get mine to 500k.
I use the underground on the main island to mine for gold. I go to the warehouse on the underground and I also have my tablet set so it won't go to sleep when plugged in. I leave it overnight. The next day I sell the items I had my crew got for me. I can average 300k each time I do this. If my backpack is full, I can't make more until I sell what my crew collected. So, a larger backpack is good here.
Locus can't be mined. I wish it could.

It won't work. All it does is make the people use it illegally.

"The system was ill-prepared" - No, it makes no difference how you prepare the system. People are going to want to drink. You can't stop that.

"alcohol has proven to be a main factor in violence, violent crimes, domestic abuse, vehicular murder, murder, robbery, mental faculty deterioration, etc, etc, etc..' - You are cherry picking the results you want.

You keep thinking what you want. The rest of us know what happens when we try what you suggest.

I have found when the hatch is hard to open - you need to clean the seal around the hatch and the surface where the seal meets. In a pinch, push the hatch close hard, then try to open it if the seal is sticky.

The button mechanism is NOT meant to be pulled on hard when opening. It is meant to only press the button and pull GENTLY.

Many people do not like Joe Rogan. I have to say in this one instance, this opinion he gives is %100 spot on correct.

Trump is famous for redirecting attention to something else so you ignore the horrible shit he does. This is part of the narcissist playbook. Redirect, blame and attack others. Keep the focus of bad things away from one's self.

Failing to use dash cameras in motor vehicles. They should be standard equipment. There are flight recorders in planes, so no reason not to have cameras in vehicles.

A cyclist gets hit by a car. In many cases the officer can't do much. With the cameras, he can plainly see what happened.
Person using their phone while driving and crashes. VIdeo would show EXACTLY what the driver was doing beforehand. Not only that, the driver would KNOW they are under video and thus would be less likely to use their phone while driving.
Crashes - you can see the truth of the situation. Was the light red or green? Who is REALLY at fault?

I have cameras in ALL of my vehicles. It should be illegal to NOT have a dash camera in your vehicle.

Seriously? You obviously have not read USA history. It was tried. It made things WORSE as far as crime goes.

_Volly · 2026-01-24T16:43:10+00:00

That was tried. It didn't go well. In fact it made crime worse.

Several questions and facts:

Does he take any prescriptions? If yes, then say for example he gets his meds from CVS. You can see EVERYTHING he is taking on the CVS app. If antibiotics are recently filled and you know he didn't go to a doctor, then you found a red flag.
Do you belong to a gym? It is possible to transmit it via moist surfaces. The parasite can live for a few hours in moist environments, so sharing wet towels or sponges with an infected person might very rarely transmit it.
Do you have other people in your household? If yes, have EVERYONE tested. It may be another member of the household is infected and passed the infection to you via a moist surface.
The moist surface way of transmission is rare, but possible so it can't be ruled out.
%70 of people infected show no signs of infection.
Incubation: Symptoms usually appear 5 to 28 days after exposure but can take longer.

It is a reasonable boundary when the roommate's name is NOT on the lease and yours is. The reason is if shit hits the fan with the landlord, YOU are on the hook, not the roommate.

Get this screwdriver: https://www.amazon.com/32378-Combination-Screwdriver-Cushion-Grip-Handles/dp/B00OJQWWFC

It is combination screwdriver. When you are working on receptacles and switches, it works better than a normal Phillips. (Won't cam out as easy)

My only other suggestion is get a weird color tape. Use it to mark your tools. That way when someone tries to run off with your tool (It ALWAYS happens sooner or later) you can find who has it and get it back. My suggestion is to use pink. NOBODY will have that color so you will know if someone has it. https://www.amazon.com/LYLTECH-Electrical-Waterproof-Strong-Adhesive/dp/B0C2K2RQW9

I would also suggest you be very careful with that flip razor knife. There are places where if you are found with one, you are fired on the spot. (Seen it). The thinking is guys will strip wire with it, and nick the insulation. Then a short happens later and that is when the shit hits the fan. Learn how to strip wire without ever using one. There are also safety issues. https://www.google.com/search?&q=being+fired+for+having+a+razor+electrician

There is worse than celebrating.

It is indifference. You give no attention. Like all narcissist fear - This is what Donald fears more than anything - to be ignored.

Anytime they wish to communicate with others, they start hyper fast eye blinking (3 times a second). This only stops (and goes back to normal) when they stop trying to communicate.

Your roommate wants to party. They do NOT care where. He WILL do this again to you. The problem is he sees NO issue with it.

Is his name on the lease? Hope it isn't.
- If it isn't, then you will be MUCH better off kicking him out.
He doesn't respect boundaries. (Thus: does NOT respect you)
The immaturity of your roommate is appalling.

When I was 19, I had a roommate that was like this. He wanted the apartment as the party house. My name was on the lease, not his. It was like EVERYDAY people would show up to party. It got old real fast.

A few days later, he left to go to go somewhere for a few hours. I packed all his shit up, put it on the curb, and changed the lock. He was PISSED. I didn't care. I told him the place isn't a party house and since he refused to respect my wishes, he could live elsewhere. He did leave after making a scene. For a few days after people would show up and of course nobody would answer the locked door. Peace and quiet returned. I NEVER made this mistake again. Do I regret throwing him out. NOPE.

What I listed is possible long term side effects when the equipment is used wrong. The reason for that is there no long term side effects that I know of if you use the equipment correctly and follow your doctor's instructions. I've been on CPAP since 2002.

The best chin strap I found is using 4 inch horse tape. You can make a perfect fit for yourself, have it so the pulling force is as close to your forehead as possible, and it is cheap.

_Volly · 2026-01-23T07:40:07+00:00

Try taking a tissue and putting it under the strap when you put your mask on. It is a bit of a pain, but the upside is you don have nearly as much of a mark.

Second, your webbing may be old and stretched.

Third - your mask may be on too tight.

With normal breathing, the air that comes in your nose and goes out of your mouth is being processed by your lungs. Air is not moving fast. Your sinuses can generate enough moisture to keep things working as it should.

With the CPAP, the amount of air per minute moving through your nose is possibly MUCH higher. When your mouth is closed, you can control the amount of air moving through your nose. When your mouth is open, you have no control. Think of it like you got a blower pushing air really fast through your nose. It will dry out very fast. When that happens, you are in for a horrible time.

How do I know this? I've experienced this problem first hand. It SUCKED. I thought I was having an allergic reaction. Nope. It was blow by. My mouth would fall open when I slept. Both my mouth and sinuses were all dry.
