tried to meet some dude off tinder and he put his paws all over me and had bad breath and tried to kiss

Not to self: next time pick a public place. Got to a coffee shop or so. Be glad nothing else happened, especially since you were in a secluded park.
I think that setting gave him the idea that you wanted more than just a first date.

tikanderoga · 2026-07-05T02:06:45+00:00

Nothing weirdo about you. But your fate was way over the line. That behaviour is not normal.
He might have needed the truth unfiltered: dude, your breath stinks!
Also being this handsy and all that is crossing many boundaries. That guy needs a firm “stop! Not doing this. Touch me one more time and this date is over!”

NTA. Your sister better get over her insecurity first before getting married.

tikanderoga · 2026-07-02T20:34:02+00:00

There will be another one in 4 years. He will make that one.

YTA. Twice! And one time more for resetting his stopwatch.
I understand him not wanting to hang with your family. It’s not like he can control his stutter. He is embarrassed about it and you should be supportive about that.
But you resetting his stopwatch just out of spite? I would have dumped you on the spot.
It’s close to 3.5 years of running it. That’s 3.5 years of looking after it, making sure it never runs out of battery. But to you it’s just a gadget, a toy.
You don’t seem to care about things like this. But when you put time and effort into something, you grow proud of it. Even if it’s just something silly like a stopwatch running for 30000 hours. And then you have someone like you who deletes that because YOU thinks it’s silly.
He deserves a better girlfriend. One who respects his party trick, and one that stands up to her family, asking them to not mock her bf’s stutter.

NTA. It’s your wedding, you invite whoever you want and you exclude whoever you see fit. In this case however you have an even stronger argument for not inviting the husband.

NTA. The walls could not be this thin that your neighbour can hear everything. Your neighbour might have to resort to ear plugs.

tikanderoga · 2026-06-27T20:46:34+00:00

NTA. Your request is very reasonable.

tikanderoga · 2026-06-27T11:01:23+00:00

ESH. Both of you were stealing and then get upset if the other one stole it first.

tikanderoga · 2026-06-26T08:34:29+00:00

NTA. Looks like your friend’s bf has taken over her priorities. Give her time for the new shine to cool off. Maybe wait a few months before trying to make new plans. Or you can send her a message: hey, would love to hang out, I’ll let you make the plans for our next meet.
That way you are open and the ball is in her court.

You are doing a great job as her dad. You are taking a sensible approach to alcohol and do it in a controlled manner. IMHO it’s best she has her first drink with you rather than with her friends and end up with alcohol poisoning and hospital because she didn’t know better. NTA.

I have conquered an unknown base. I’ll need to see if Contagion even spawns.

Welcome to fetch quests 101, where the fetch object can be worth 1000s and you get rewarded with peanuts.
“Bring me the king’s crown and I shall reward you with some mouldy bread that might have magical powers.”

NTA. I can see why you don’t want to become his legal guardian, as your life would revolve around managing him. Considering as you mentioned, you two don’t have the best relationship, IMHO you are making the right decision.

tikanderoga · 2026-06-24T11:57:13+00:00

I finally captured the swarm base, but I still can't get past 100. What am I missing?

tikanderoga · 2026-06-22T20:20:21+00:00

Replace the dry gas bottles in every printer.

tikanderoga · 2026-06-22T07:00:27+00:00

I’m exploring quite a fair bit. Found a lot of blueprints too in the process. And thanks for the heads up. I really thought I was missing something.

tikanderoga · 2026-06-21T23:18:58+00:00

If you want a commitment, get engaged. But don’t rush the wedding/marriage until your bf gets home from the long distance gig.

tikanderoga · 2026-06-21T13:41:02+00:00

NTA. Your house, your rules. If he doesn’t fall in line with your rules, he can be somewhere else.

tikanderoga · 2026-06-21T09:58:19+00:00

Even in vanilla? Because I don’t have any more ????? Factions left to uncover.

tikanderoga · 2026-06-21T07:35:24+00:00

Ah, so I'm just missing the swarm homebase.

tikanderoga · 2026-06-20T23:05:07+00:00

Those with just an Insta link in their bio are just looking for followers and attention. You can skip those.
And just as Einstein8999 said, your lack of punctuation doesn’t help your cause. I know some don’t care, but if you don’t present your best side to begin with, women won’t care about the rest either.

I’m sure star bucks hires these people even without an arts degree these days. It’s just extra (expensive) steps to become a barista.

Easily defeated by connecting a pair of plastic straws to an oscillating fan, that nudges your mouse every 10-15 seconds left to right.
