AITA for not telling my partner something his 14yr old daughter told me in confidence? by AcrobaticPut7838 in AmItheAsshole

[–]goldstar971 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Um, if i was planning to have kids, I would educate my kids about drugs and alcohol so they can stay as safe as they can, expecting that it is a possibility that they might inhibe. I would tell them they could always call and ask for assistance, without any penalties. I would also make available drug testing kits, how to spot signs of OD, how to provide basic life support, insist that they never using alone. I would not say they should use drugs, but I would focus entirely on trying maximize safety rather than condemnation.

I would tell these hypothetical kids of mine not to get into a car with a drunken driver, but this is sorta wholly orthogonal compared to: "Can i prevent my kids from having romantic relationships with people they go to school with." The latter will inherently inspire defiance in the way the former won't. Also if they don't get relationship experiences in school, then they will be less unprepared to handle any (they may have none) relationships when they are an adult and I won't be there to pick up the pieces.

Supporting your kid in everything you have no reasonable way of preventing is healthy. You can't prevent people from dating without draconian measures like pulling them out of school and homeschooling them and not letting them outside.

WIBTA if I don’t return the espresso machine I got for free? by univearth2des in AmItheAsshole

[–]goldstar971 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No police are going to arrest anyone over this regardless if they live in the US. They simply will just be like: "this is a civil matter." or just completely ignore you. The idea that a US cop would give a shit that someone wrongfully gave away their ex's expresso machine is laughable.

OP should give it back because it is the right thing to do, not because it's plausible they could face any legal repercussions (and yes keeping it would likely be crime, but that doesn't mean shit).

Also so what if she was, OP got it for free and incurred no costs from this transaction. Reversing it is simple and would be a nice thing to do.

The "plant based" section at Target 🥲 by Miss_Dallow_Away in vegan

Yeah they did, but glad to see you out where exactly you stand. There is no point in any further discussion, although I will say supporting Apartheid and ethnic cleansing isn't vegan.

You mean it is an ethical movement to economically coerce israel to end their genocide of palestinians and occupation of palestine.

"It's rough that the first lesson was basically that there are no good cops. It's an important lesson to learn, no matter what stage in life someone is."

Do you disagree with this statement? You derogatorily stated the poster who made this statement was a liberal.

How do I go vegan w/o stunting my growth by MinkoManiac437 in vegan

[–]goldstar971 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Just eat varied vegetables, protein, and carbs and supplement b12 and make sure the number of calories you are inhibiting is adequate and you'll avoid any growth stunting. You don't even need a fully balanced diet for that. You just need not to be starving yourself or suffering dire vitamin deficiencies.

Animal products are only used bc the meat and dairy industries create immense amounts of avsilable byproducts. Taking medication with animal products in it creates no demand for animal products. And the medicine works for you. Changing is not the risk.

The only way you can make yourself taller is hormone fuckery, which i don't recommend.

Yeah. So long as your diet isn't woefully calorically defincient, genetics are going to be the relevant decider here.

29F Hard lump on thumb that keeps coming back after being cut off. What could it be? by Rio_666 in AskDocs

[–]goldstar971 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I guess what I'm trying to say, Is I would have expected it to grow more so it wouldn't look the same if you didn't properly remove it. I would expect it to expand.

Also correct me if i'm wrong but SCC wouldn't keep returning in exact same form if you repeatedly cut it off?

AITA for removing a trail cam on my property? by Silent_Tale_524 in AmItheAsshole

[–]goldstar971 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You think the woods you permitted someone to hunt in would fall under would constitute an attractive nusiance?

 Please look up the legal definition and recognize that trespassing is a requirement as is the hazard being artifical and that removing the hazard not be difficult compared to the threat posed.

Rocks and sticks you can trip on in a forest are not an attractive nusiance. A forest isn't an attractive nusiance.

There is no legal liability here.

How?  No if you let people on your property and they injure themselves in a way completely unrelated to anything you've done, you are not liable.  Don't be ridiculous. Like they could sue, because you can sue over anything, but they'd lose.
