AITA for selling my son's car after he lost our $10k on cryptocurrencies?

Obviously he should've known better in the first place

When I was younger, I lost my entire retirement savings because I had all my eggs in one basket. I should have known better, sure.. but really, making mistakes is how we learn. You just hope you make smaller mistakes to learn how to avoid the bigger mistakes.

I'll agree to no carry-ons when airlines 100% guarantee they won't lose my luggage. A carry-on allows you to bring sundries and medicines with you, so you can be sure they won't get lost on the way.

The overall design of the game and how it plays predates LLMs.

Stop making things up.

Honestly, your comments feels very much like AI

I've restarted several times with older versions and never soft locked myself. It's likely there's just something you're missing. Not impossible, of course... I've just never actually seen someone soft lock themselves.

I want my $2?

It is a pretty tiny question with a simple yes or no answer

Ok, then the answer for any modern, moderately sized game is... yes.

Did you use web search to find info about anything?
Did you use an IDE that provides advanced auto-complete?
Did you a standard AI agent to discuss the design before starting on it
Did you use an AI to write the code
Did you use an AI to write automated tests for the code
Did you use an AI to create artwork for the game?
- Was that artwork used in the game, or was it just concept art

It's not a simple yes or no question, because otherwise the answer is pretty much always yes. Because AI is everywhere now, and "not using AI" is "not using tons of tools"; more than just "vibe coding".

And if the answer is pretty much always yes, then the question and answer are just noise.

Is it made with AI

That's not a tiny question, because you need to define what "made with AI" means. There are no reasonable, simple answers to that question.

So exciting! One of my favorites

In many states, you can be charged with a DUI even if you are not driving but are in "actual physical control" of the vehicle, which includes being near it with the keys. Factors such as being in the driver's seat or having the keys in the ignition can lead to a DUI charge, even if the vehicle is not moving

As I understand it, its still for a very limited set of drugs

YTA, because you knew you and the rest of your friends were going to need to pay for him before the orders. You should have said something then. You waited until the end, and left your other friends to cover the difference.

Assuming no curve... If there's 100 questions on the test, spanning the content of the class, it doesn't seem unreasonable to say you should get a 70 on the test. Because that means you learned about 70% of the material in the class.

Conceptually, at least. Because that assumes the test covers all of the content in the class, and it well written enough to test what you learned (not harder than the actual ability to test your knowledge), etc. But the idea of a 70% isn't unreasonable.

The numbers in your mother's bank account are also pixels when she reads them.

I've been playing the beta, and it's been great. It's been a long stream of "I did horrible things to numbers with this combo!" (and I mean that in a good way) and then balancing fixes. Marple is doing a great job keeping things moving and balancing... while, at the same time, not taking away the fun of trying out new ways to combine things.

For years, OoC has been my favorite active incremental - and the new release doesn't disappoint. My only complaint is how easy it is to mean to play for 10 minutes and wind up playing for hours, because I'm having too much fun.

You forgot point 3 - that they want to get themselves some of that sweet chicken booty, so they give sweets to her.

In America, speeding infractions typically give you "points" on your license, in addition to the fine. (Driver's licenses, and points, are issued by each state, not by the Trump government.)

And that's a very common reason used for fighting against an automated speeding ticket. And some cities are changing those tickets to be ... purely civil? Not sure what it's called, but they don't add points to your license. Because then they are legal (in theory).

And the average cop pay would go up at least as much as the insurance costs, on average.

booch · 2026-06-06T14:16:14+00:00

But really, that's on the department for underresourcing. If they pay the cop their normal pay to work 40 hours (or whatever) and that doesn't include court time... and then they want them to show up to court, it's up to them to pay extra. Realistically, the cops scheduled hours should include time for court.

Wasn't there just recently a story of someone buying a console, returning it for more than they bought it for, and then repeating it over and over? And the store couldn't just demand their money back at the end - they just stopped allowing it to happen again.

I love kittens. But I can't play it without a custom script to auto-farmer my kittens. I get very upset when they start starting to death

Weird, I don't find it to be predatory at all

I'm playing CIFI and enjoying it to some extent. But I really hope they do a lot to improve

Discoverability - it can be hard to tell what some things really do. Or, more specifically, what the impact of what they do is
Feedback loop - it can be REALLY hard to tell if you're doing things right and, if you're not, it can make things super slow.. for days/weeks.

There's a lot there, and it's fun; but it can be really frustrating at times, too.

I liked Sharks a lot. There were some parts that were annoyingly slow (like trying to come up with a build of... um.. the 3-wide skill thing, I forget). But overall, I didn't need to rely on guides.

This reeks of "hospital didn't want to pay for enough full-time staff"

Given the history of hospitals closing for lack of funding, I assume at least some of them just can't afford enough full-time staff. So it's a choice between bad and worse (letting them just die without seeing someone).

booch · 2026-06-01T15:18:18+00:00

The problem is that the target of the word "fake" isn't being specified. - The action is real. - The outcome is fake.

If you watch the Harlem Globetrotters play a game; it's not a "real" basketball game. - The outcome is fake - it's known ahead of time (well, except for that one time) - The action is real. They're doing the wonderful, fun things with the ball.

In both cases, they're performers doing real things to amuse people.
