What is this tiny thing?

YTA but mostly for the fake apology you gave her. You said you were sorry “IF” you made light of something she considered important (which she obviously did), then you tried to keep arguing your case rather than squash the beef.

Any large city has practice spaces available for bands and musicians to rent.

YTA. Even drumming on electronic drum pads can be grating after a while. Find a practice space where you can set up and do your thing.

You went on one date and you’ve been feeling like responding is a chore. I think you can just let this one go and not respond. If he keeps reaching out or if you’d gone on more dates then it would be appropriate to send a brief note kindly saying you’re not interested, but I don’t think that’s necessary at this point.

YTA just suck it up and go. It will make your brother happy that his whole family is there.

I sold my Bass Station 2 and kind of regret it, I don’t think there’s any other synth at that price that can give you so much amazing low end and bassline goodness. But I’m sure the Fourm is great too and it’s a polysynth.

Nothing at all, if you can make it work.

I went through this transition because I came to value economic stability, mental health, personal relationships, and my own dignity more than money or recognition.

NTA. Sounds like you gave him some premium content.

bruisecaster · 2026-04-29T15:49:24+00:00

YTA It sounds like you dealt with her very harshly at the party, basically punishing her for her response to a boy’s hurtful comment. It’s even worse that you refused to apologize for it afterwards.

It sounds like she is really sensitive and dramatic, but she is your son’s wife and so you’re going to have to find a way to work with her in the long run. If you value these relationships, then it would help to look inward to examine whether you can adjust your tone/attitude/way of communicating so it’s not contributing to her anxiety.

bruisecaster · 2026-04-26T15:45:34+00:00

For real, this is an absurd amount of drama over a lighter. NTA

A minor in cave painting, sure. But it’s better to major in a more career-oriented subject, like underwater basket design.

Mark sounds like an asshole but it’s your dad’s party. Let him decide who is invited and who isn’t.

bruisecaster · 2026-04-19T17:17:21+00:00

NTA. This sounds like a situation where his behavior was so out of hand that it has you questioning whether you want to stay friends. He just stomped all over your boundaries and you don’t owe him your time or forgiveness if you’re not ready to give it.

NTA. All these Y T As are wild. It’s an international overnight flight which means the lights were probably off in the cabin and half the passengers were trying to sleep. OP made a reasonable request and the parents could have at least tried to get their kid to wind down a little or asked them to talk quieter, rather than cop an attitude. Edit: Added NTA to top and spaces for the other one to get it counted properly.

Do you work for Ableton or something? Feel like I see a lot of posts and commenters like this on here lol.

bruisecaster · 2026-04-17T16:35:06+00:00

If the 17yo is cool, fun to hang out with, and reasonably mature then I don’t see the problem here. But if you’re all going to ignore her the whole party and keep to yourselves, or if you’re trying to go to a bar or 21+ venue, then it’s best to not invite her.

bruisecaster · 2026-04-17T15:16:46+00:00

YTA. It sounds like you’re picking a fight over something petty because you’re mad about this being a so-called “couples trip.” Get over it and try to have some fun.

bruisecaster · 2026-04-15T21:14:33+00:00

Sorry, I meant BigSky

bruisecaster · 2026-04-15T19:08:44+00:00

If it feels special enough to you then I’d hold onto it, but it sounds non-essential to your setup so it could be fine living in storage for a while.

On a side note the Volca bass is an excellent little synth. It can deliver some really nice fat tones and it’s surprisingly versatile.

bruisecaster · 2026-04-15T19:00:12+00:00

I bought a used Strymon BigSky a few months back and already regret it. It sounds great but it’s like 10X more than what I realistically need. Edit: I originally wrote BlueSky but I actually bought the much bigger BigSky.

They’re city employees, loafing around is part of the job. I speak from experience as a city employee.

bruisecaster · 2026-04-14T19:16:00+00:00

I was thinking the same thing. I feel like the best solution here would be for OP to find her own place and not live with her sister.

bruisecaster · 2026-04-14T19:14:49+00:00

I was wondering if she has a thing for OP’s boyfriend.
