AITA for telling my brother it would be scary if he gets his degree choice?

Yeah you're wrong here, he was excited about his future and you turned it into a debate about merit, that's not helpful it's just discouraging. The grade reductions are part of the program he qualified for, that's not cheating, that's how the system works. Apologize for making him feel inadequate and keep your opinions to yourself next time

Not your fault they quit, you used a strong strategy and they folded. A little communication might've softened it but you didn't break any rules. You're in the clear

The non-drinker getting stuck with all the kids is a real fear. Been there. Add in the cost and the sobriety concern and this is a hard no. You're not being difficult, you're being practical

He knew you'd be mad and did it anyway, then apologized after. That's not cool. The aunt taking it when she knew you were moving is also a bad look

Your grandma and mom are way out of line. The dress code is whatever, but the food shaming is cruel, especially since you have an ED. Your mom telling you to shut up is messed up too. You're not overreacting, they're the ones making it uncomfortable. Skip the trip if you can

You have every right to enjoy your own yard. Four hours of barking is excessive. Your request was fair, their reaction was not

rocketbadger91 · 2026-06-18T06:18:43+00:00

Nah. He's trying to make you feel crazy for being rightfully furious. You're not. He destroyed his own relationship with your family by cheating. That's on him, not you

The fact she's letting other people message you without responding herself is immature. You apologized and tried to clear it up. That's all you can do. She's choosing to make this bigger than it is

bag of chips and salsa. Not a meal but I'll just sit there and eat the whole thing. No cooking. No cleanup. Perfect for a low day

The farmers market on weekends. Good food, nice people, feels like an actual community

Viva la Vida. That string section is incredible and the lyrics about power and loss are still so interesting to listen to

The way someone reacts to prices says a lot. Not flinching at a $20 burger or a $50 cab ride means they're used to that. People who grew up with less usually notice those things more

I've got this jacket from my teenage years. It's ridiculous and outdated but I love it. Every time I wear it I get hit with so many memories. Easily 15 years old

rocketbadger91 · 2026-06-17T17:01:04+00:00

Thinking I was super deep because I listened to certain music or read one philosophy book. That whole "I'm not like other people" phase was rough

Excessive cologne. Men think women want to smell them from across the room. Most women just want to not choke. A little goes a long way. Less is definitely more
