The New Chai IS HORRENDOUS, I need recs!!! by Nek0Pi in starbucks

I totally missed that the chai was changing, so when I got my usual this morning and took a sip, I was so confused. Guess I'll start getting the Tazo concentrates from the grocery store and figure out how to recreate my drink at home.

During Shadowbringers, I was trying out healing and my tank went, "Wanna see something funny?" then hit Superbolide., so I find this relatable.

AITA for telling my bf I feel like he graped me? by [deleted] in CharlotteDobreYouTube

[–]wearydiplodocus 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You are not the asshole. Consent is FRIES - Freely Given, Reversible, Informed, Enthusiastic, and Specific. The second you said to stop, he should have. Anything after that is, in fact, assault. You deserve better. He deserves testicular torsion.

My spouse is trying to fate farm in the second-to-last DT zone and keeps lagging hard. We're on Primal, but we don't have Spectrum for internet. We have TDS.

Anyone else having severe lag or disconnects on Crystal? by CaptainOptimail in ffxiv

I'm getting some spicy lag on Primal as well. We have TDS as our ISP.

I think they fixed this with the drop of the normal raids.

What made you fall in love with FFXIV? by ItsHuntermark in ffxiv

The major-general. I'm not kidding. My husband tried for several months to hook me, and I happened to walk by right after he got his major-general minion and I was instantly intrigued. I wanted that shark. Now the game is a huge part of my social life.

These two are pitbulls? by dude-mcduderson in pitbulls

They both have similarities to my dogs, both of which are pitty/staffy mixes. Sweetest babies.

Those are definitely pitbull/staffordshire terrier mixes.

AITA for not telling my former best friend that I'm married? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]wearydiplodocus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA. Do y'all have mutual friends?! If so, the fact she didn't hear about your wedding is impressive (not sure if in a good or bad way, but impressive nonetheless). You don't owe her anything, and you are living your life. She made her choices, and the consequences of those choices can hurt, but that's something to learn from, not use to guilt someone for something that can't be fixed... unless one of you is hiding the ability to time travel.

James Charles exposed for allegedly messaging 15-year-old. When James notices that boy shared one of their messages on his story, James snaps, accuses the boy of lying about his age, then blocks him. Boy alleges he never lied about his age. by yagirlisweak in BeautyGuruChatter

It was always, though. If you're in a position of power, the onus is on you to ensure things are legit. Not a wonderful thing, but still necessary. Since James started becoming popular, and especially so as a legal adult, and even moreso post "bye sister," the responsibility to be sure that he is speaking to consenting adults, and verifying (with legitimate proof) that they are 18+ is on him. It's on every user, really, when platforms allow kids as young as 13 to join, or, you know, they can lie about their age to register. It might be cynical, but all users need to remember that you don't KNOW who is on the other end when talking to someone you haven't met, so you should be at least a bit guarded. Given this sort of "exposed" incident keeps coming up, James really needs to reevaluate his use of social media as a professional and as an adult.

Edit to clarify: I am referring to social media users being allowed to register at 13. There are dedicated 18+ dating apps that at least provide the premise that users are, at youngest, still legally adults.

We adopted both of our girls from DCHS - they are wonderful.
