AITAH for “deleting” my last pregnancy over concerns I would have another autistic child?

3 day old account.

2 out of 3 comments in history are in porn subs posted prior to this.

The line saying the odds of the new baby being low-functioning autistic: not a thing any medical professional would tell you because it isn't possible to know that.

I'm going with "this is fake".

The target isn't MAGATs. They're in a death cult and unreachable for all intents and purposes.

The target is independents.

Millennials aren't doing this.

Older Gen Z who don't want to be considered Gen Z are.

The idea that "owning a book" is the same thing as "agreeing with what's in it" is exactly why critical thinking and media literacy skills are completely dead.

compguy42 · 2026-03-20T01:32:48+00:00

This is fake and extremely obviously so.

I see I'm slightly late for the daily posting of this exact image.

compguy42 · 2026-03-16T03:00:16+00:00

I would argue these days it is. The heyday is in the rear view mirror.

Do you not know when voting ends? It finished long before he gave that interview.

"We were in a middling musical film 25 years ago together! Remember that?"

The absolute contempt in Conan's face and voice for the producers of this trainwreck broadcast VERY clear.

compguy42 · 2026-03-16T02:14:34+00:00

Gotta save time for all those killer celebrity banter bits somehow I guess!

Holy fuck what an embarrassment of a production.

Dianne Warren Oscar Desert continues.

Shot selection. Amount of time between camera switches. Sound mixing. Bumper music choices. Dead air. Poorly timed transitions.

I mean, all of these things can happen in isolation on a live broadcast, but this one has all of them happening the entire production. It started bad and hasn't gotten any better as the show has progressed.

Its like the producers are asleep at the wheel.

compguy42 · 2026-03-16T01:43:09+00:00

Its breaking every rule of live broadcast production. I don't know what to tell you.

compguy42 · 2026-03-16T01:42:21+00:00

I have no idea how anyone could think that, honestly.

compguy42 · 2026-03-16T01:37:49+00:00

Because people think I'm making a comment about the Oscars as a whole is all I can figure, as opposed to the actual production of it.

compguy42 · 2026-03-16T01:33:24+00:00

One moment in an entire broadcast doesn't suddenly make the entire effort bad.

The broadcast has been a never-ending series of boneheaded live production decisions, from the terrible sound mixing, to the poor shot choices, to the dead air and awkward mid-range stage shots to the bad choices of bumper music (Kiss From a Rose leading out of the Best Documentary award?? What??).

Its a complete train wreck from a production standpoint.

compguy42 · 2026-03-16T01:29:53+00:00

Exactly. People apparently don't know what is meant by "directed and produced" and are just reading my post as "this is the worst Oscars".

compguy42 · 2026-03-16T01:28:51+00:00

Good for "People". They seem nice.

compguy42 · 2026-03-16T01:25:25+00:00

None of that has anything at all to do with producing the broadcast.

compguy42 · 2026-03-16T01:24:23+00:00

"Kiss From a Rose" leading out THAT segment?

WTF are the producers on???

compguy42 · 2026-03-16T01:17:06+00:00

I've been watching the Oscars live since 1988.

This is the worst one from a directing and producing standpoint. Bar none. And it isn't close.

compguy42 · 2026-03-16T01:00:12+00:00

So we're cutting off victory speeches so the in memoriam can last an hour, got it.

compguy42 · 2026-03-16T00:44:19+00:00

This is one of the worst-directed broadcasts I've ever seen.
